Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1072

The immortal was dumbfounded by the question.

It made her ponder on the meaning and value of her own existence.

"The reason of my existence is that I aim to become stronger and eventually return to the Primitive Wilderness," the immortal answered adamantly, after giving it some thought.

"Hah! And then what? So what if you get stronger and return to the Primitive Wilderness? What happens after that?" Darren said harshly.

The immortal shook her head. She thought she had found the answer, but Darren's follow-up questions only baffled her even more.

"Well according to what you just said, your life is just as meaningless as mine," the immortal argued defensively.

"Nice try, but I'm different from you. I miss the love of my life day and night. I have someone to protect. That's the meaning of my life," said Darren softly. His eyes glimmered with a bittersweet happiness as he spoke.

Darren's words made the immortal's heart wrench. From the way he spoke, she could see that he was speaking an irrefutable truth. It was a message from the heart.

The immortal's beautiful eyes gazed at Darren in a mix of envy and inspiration. She suddenly felt that this creature in front of her truly lived his life to the fullest.

Jealousy was an emotion that was alien to her. It made her heart feel heavy and she felt strange from the newfound feeling.

"Make me stop falling, please."

Five hundred thousand kilometers below them was the Sea of Nothingness. Even if a being such as the immortal fell into it, like all, she would turn into nothingness.

By now, the immortal was already seriously injured. After being chased down by Darren, she had used up the rest of her immortal's power, and could not muster up enough energy to stop her body from falling.

She knew she had no choice but to count on this human being.

Darren did not respond, so she choked down her pride and muttered again, "Save me. In exchange, I'll be your wife."

Darren was stunned and a bit embarrassed by the offer.

Was this still the cold and heartless immortal he was talking to? How could she say something like that?!

"Are you crazy? Just to save your life, you'd say something like that? You've gone insane!" Darren shook his head.

"You refuse?" The complexity of this human being was far beyond her imagination, and her judgment. She looked at him in pure confusion.

"Huh? Don't you need a wife? Why did you refuse?"

The human in front of her had just been talking about his wife or something like that. It made perfect sense to her that if she offered herself as his wife instead, he would have agreed to save her. He wouldn't have to think about his love anymore if she took her place.

Why on earth did he refuse?

Darren didn't know how to answer such a strange question.

"If you want me to save you, you have to agree to release Elsa." Darren made a staunch request, ignoring the question completely.

As the immortal's body was about to fall into the Sea of Nothingness, she had to agree to Darren's terms. In her mind, nothing was more important than her life. But there was one thing she could never do: be a slave!

"I promise," the immortal agreed.

She didn't have time to think it over. The most important thing to her was to stay alive.

"We have to seal this deal with a contract."

Darren was used to dealing with people at this level. If he wanted her to keep her promise, he'd have to use a contract to keep her to her word. Otherwise, she could easily break her promise.

She could change her mind in a heartbeat if she wished.

A deafening clatter much like

the sound of tremendous waves echoed in the immortal's ears, and she couldn't take it any longer.

"I don't possess the immortal's power needed to establish this contract you speak of."

The immortal's voice cracked in panic. The situation was dire, but she legitimately did not have the power to accomplish a contract.

"Ahh!" the immortal screamed.

Drops of water from the Sea of Nothingness splashed onto the immortal's body, tainting her.

A nasty hiss began to sound with every drop that touched her.

A burst of white smoke then rose from the immortal's back, her clothes corroded.
