189 Destined person!!
She extended her hand towards him as she continued: "If you can only take a walk with while we hold hands, that would be enough. I'd be able to satiate myself with just the mories of this walk."
"What are you talking about?" Ashen was confused:
"You love , what's so complicated about it? Why are you thinking about satiating yourself with just a walk? Actually, if you think about it, aren't you a perfect lover for ? A princess of a sacred clan is just perfect for a prince of the empire."
Ashen smiled as he looked at her face which had wide eyes of shock looking back at him.
What? How did he derive this aning from what I said?
Just touch and let it over with, I don't have the ti to play lovey-dovey with soone younger than .
What do I do now? How do I reject him?
"Don't worry, we can take it slow. I can understand your worries, but think about it. If we marry, your clan can co and support instead of the third sister who has no chance at winning."
At this mont, Xue Nanxi found a way to get out of this situation from his answer.
"What?? How can Your Highness insult the third royal highness like this? I didn't think Your Highness looked down upon others like this."
She shook her head in disappointnt as she continued: "I don't think I can love Your Highness anymore after hearing the princess's insult. Allow to take my leave!"
She bowed before turning to leave.
Ashen didn't stop her instead smiled in amusent.
It was because the arena was at a far distance from their current location.
It might take only five minutes to reach the arena by flight, however, on foot, it'd take atleast two hours even with the fastest movent skill below the core-formation realm.
09:50
And for a body transformation realm cultivator like Nanxi, it'd take her almost a day to reach the arena without Ashen's help.
"Your Highness, will you please take back with you?"
Though this was a shaless request, she didn't have any other choice. There was no one other than him to help him.
Ashen shook his head in response, asking with an amused smile: "Why would I? You don't even love anymore." He acted sad all of a sudden. "I'm hurt by your words."
He found this situation entertaining. This girl in front of him was a bit cute given how she acted.
Moreover, she was an otherworldly beauty even by the standards of this world. There was no need to send her away.
He even doubted if she was a heroine or a daughter of destiny like Feng Xue.
To confirm his suspicions, he asked the system, speaking in his head:
System, check her luck points!
[Ding! Host, The system cannot check her luck points. She is protected by so unknown power]
Huh? Really? This just made him more cautious regarding her.
Right at this mont, Nanxi's voice attracted his attention to herself: "Your Highness, Don't be like this. I'm sure you can forgive for my previous offense. Please help get back to the event."
"Then fall in love with again and I'll take you back." He smiled shalessly, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Your Highness, That's not how it works. I can't voluntarily fall in love with you" She explained exasperatedly.
At this mont, Ashen brought his face close to hers, gazing into her eyes as he spoke softly: "I need a reason to help you. If there is no benefit for , why would I help you? Unless, of course, you are in love with . I'll help my lover without any reason."
Nanxi understood that she wouldn't be able to go back unless she gave in to his demands.
She sighed in defeat, nodding: "Alright, I'll fall in love with you, your highness. Now, please take back!"
A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he said: "Alright, but rember to fulfill your words."
She glared at him, not finding the joke funny.
"Alright alright, I'll do as you ask." He said, admitting defeat.
He landed at the entrance, gently putting Nanxi to the ground, and letting her stand.
"I'll leave you here, goodbye!" He said before flying back to his gallery.
"Phew, it's finally over..." Nanxi sighed in relief before taking a step toward the arena.
It was only now that she noticed the blue screen floating in front of her.
Till now, she was busy with the ninth prince and didn't take notice of the screen.
"Huh? The text has changed." She wondered, noticing that the text was different from usual.
She focused, beginning to read:
[Congratulations!! Xue Nanxi, you have co in contact with a person who can change your destiny.]
Her eyes opened wide in shock and disbelief. She rubbed her eyes a few tis to check if she was reading wrong.
However, soon this disbelief turned into pure joy and relief.
She had finally found her way to escape her cruel destiny.
She stared in the direction where Ashen had left with a relieved smile and teary eyes. "I finally found you..." She whispered.
