This girl called Su Wan had already changed into a light-colored long dress. She was extremely beautiful, and her temperament was gentle and pure. She was like a lotus flower that was untainted by mud.

Coupled with the sickly pallor on her face, one could not help but want to take good care of her.

Such a beautiful woman introduced herself in such a gentle voice and even called him husband...

Most men would not be able to withstand it!

But what kind of storm had He Chuan not seen before?

He just felt that it was a little strange and asked bluntly, "Miss, you have mistaken me for someone else, right?"

Su Wan shook her head gently, "I heard from others that it was you, this gentleman, who saved me. As the old saying goes, a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body. Wan 'Er has no way to repay it. She is willing to serve Young Master by his side in the future, accompanying him until the black hair turn white."

These words sounded reasonable, but the tone was not right. It was light and emotionless. It was obvious that it was done on purpose.

"As expected of a princess. Her words are quite artistic."

He Chuan chuckled. He had already seen through the other party's thoughts. He said, "I don't need you to repay me with your body, nor do I need you to repay me. I just need you to make a deal with me."

Su Wan's eyes were as clear as water, "Young Master, please speak."

"Help me defend the city for a few days. After the beast tide passes, I'll send you back to Xu Country. How about it?"

"..."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Su Wan's face. "That's it?"

"Of course." He Chuan glanced at her, "What else if not this?"

Su Wan was silent.

Although she had just woken up, she was not completely unaware of the time she had been frozen.

From the beginning when He Chuan appeared on the cliff, he displayed his might and destroyed the beast tide.

Then, he hugged her and sized her up... She knew everything when he brought her back to the mansion in the city.

Su Wan originally thought that the young man in front of her had taken a fancy to her looks, so he sent someone to take good care of her. He even spent a big amount of rare spirit crystals to nourish her lost spirit energy.

Since she was in a foreign country, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake, so she took the initiative to cater to him on the surface.

She was prepared to take the opportunity to escape when the time was right.

In the end, this youth had let her go just like this?

To be honest, she was somewhat unable to fathom He Chuan's thoughts.

She did not know if this youth was playing hard to get, or if he was sincere.

He Chuan's expression was natural, and he knew what she was thinking. "Don't worry, I have no feelings for you. No matter what, I was once a Crown Prince. If I want to get you, there's no need for such a trick."

Su Wan was stunned, "... Crown Prince? You Are... He Chuan?"

"Yes."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Su Wan's heart was finally relieved.

She had long heard that there was a Crown Prince called He Chuan in the Wu Kingdom. He was wise, kind, and loved by the people.

But... How did he end up guarding such a small border town?historical

Out of curiosity, she asked.

He Chuan answered simply.

When she learned that He Chuan had been demoted, Su Wan let out a soft sigh. Her expression was complicated, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"How did you come to the Wu Kingdom? And you were surrounded by so many beasts?" He Chuan asked.

"I went to get betrothed. It was just that I happened to run into a beast tide riot. In order to avoid the beast tide, we got lost in the forest. We ran for a long time but couldn't find the main road."

"Betrothed?" He Chuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "With the Wu Kingdom?"

"No."

Su Wan was a little depressed. "The Xu Kingdom was fighting with the enemy kingdom. A natural disaster suddenly occurred, which led to 800,000 soldiers being trapped in the valley. The enemy kingdom took the opportunity to kill them. The main forces of the Xu Kingdom were exhausted, so they could only choose to cut off their land and make peace to avoid the war..."

At this point, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Who would be willing to be the sacrifice of politics? But among my Emperor Father's 17 daughters, my Concubine Mother died a long time ago, and I'm the only one who has no maternal family to protect me. So what if I'm unwilling?"

He Chuan understood now. It seemed that the impact of this natural disaster was very great. Perhaps it would change the world's structure to a certain extent.

Recalling what happened to Jiang Wenyue, he felt that he had to be on guard.

He turned his gaze and looked at the girl in front of him again.

"In that case, are you unable to return to the Xu Kingdom?"

"Yes..."

Su Wan buried her head and two clear tears fell at her feet. She felt indescribably sad.

"If you don't have any ideas and don't have anywhere to go, for the time being, you can stay in Glory City for a while. You can leave whenever you want, and Freedom City isn't far from here."

He Chuan's gaze was deep. He had a bold idea in his heart. "If you feel indignant and want to take revenge on your Emperor Father and Xu Country, I can help you."

This time, He Chuan's words were even more shocking, directly stunned Su Wan.

"Do you... know what you're talking about..." There was a look of disbelief on her face, as if she had never expected He Chuan to say such a thing.

"Of course, I know. Why? You don't believe me?"

He Chuan raised one hand, and the flame rose immediately. The terrifying high temperature swept through the entire room, and many wooden things emitted a burning smell.

He looked down at Su Wan and said word by word, "Maybe one day, I will do the same thing. In this world, the strong prey on the weak. If you want to control your own future, you have to control the future of others first!"

"I. . ."

Su Wan's heart was a little flustered, "But... no matter what, that's my Emperor Father..."

"I didn't ask you to kill him." He Chuan smiled faintly. "There are many ways to subvert the regime, and there are many ways to protect yourself. However, it depends on whether you want to live on your knees or not."

Su Wan bit her red lips. "I will think about it for a while more..."

"You're free to do so."

He Chuan walked out of the room, "I want to make a trip to the Freedom City. It's okay as long as you can make a choice before I return."

Su Wan did not say anything.

"Oh, that's right."

Before he left, He Chuan turned around and threw the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual to her. "It is not enough to help me defend Glory City with your current level. You need to improve yourself."

Su Wan took it and watched He Chuan leave in confusion.

Then, she flipped to the first page.

The contents made her eyes widen.

"How could there be such a perfect cultivation technique..."
