"Wow, did this Queen hear that correctly?"
"This Tianjian Can, she looks so prim and proper, but the moment she opens her mouth she makes such an explosive request?"
"You really can't judge a book by its cover."
Eggy was also shocked after hearing Tianjian Can, but a gloating smile hung on her delicate face.
She really wanted to see how Chu Feng would handle this situation.
"Miss Can, you sure know how to joke." Chu Feng quickly replied.
And feeling guilty, he hurriedly turned his head toward the giant sword after speaking.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Tianjian Can asked.
Hearing this, Chu Feng looked back at Tianjian Can.
Chu Feng didn't speak, but he dropped his smile, his expression turning grave.
The two locked eyes, carefully studying each other.
This time, Chu Feng could confirm that Tianjian Can was indeed not joking.
She was completely serious.
"Isn't this decision a bit too hasty?" Chu Feng asked.
"I, Tianjian Can, have always been thorough and deliberate in everything I do."
"Actually, my Tianjian Sacred Palace possesses a secret technique that can be used by both men and women, but it requires the help of a partner. As for the partner, it's best if they're from my Tianjian Sacred Palace, but it doesn't have to be."
"Because the most important requirement is that this person must be sufficiently powerful."
"My desire to marry you is also about wanting to advance further."
"I've always believed that I, Tianjian Can, don't need to rely on any man, and no man could help me anyway."
"But I've heard about what you've done, and I've witnessed your abilities. I think you might be able to help me advance further."
"Of course, I can't make any guarantees, but I'm willing to try. Even if we fail, I'm still willing to continue maintaining our husband-and-wife relationship, fulfill our duties as spouses, and support each other on the path of martial cultivation."
Just as Chu Feng was about to refuse, Tianjian Can spoke again: "You shouldn't be married yet. With my status, being your only wife shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Can. In terms of cultivation, I'd prefer to focus on my own bloodline," Chu Feng said.
"I know. Your Heavenly Thunder bloodline is very powerful."
"In ancient times, there were also great figures with powerful Heavenly Thunder bloodlines."
"But believe me, if you were to obtain my Tianjian Sacred Palace's bloodline, it would take you even further."
Tianjian Can said.
And the moment she said this, the Divine Deer couldn't help but speak up: "Frog in a well — who told you that the Heavenly Thunder bloodline is inferior to your Tianjian Sacred Palace bloodline?"
This time, the Divine Deer wasn't speaking only to Chu Feng — everyone could hear her.
As a result, Tianjian Can's expression changed dramatically.
But she didn't lose her temper. Instead, she quickly regained her composure and asked Chu Feng: "There's another presence inside your body? Is it your Spirit World Guardian?"
At this moment, Chu Feng felt somewhat embarrassed.
He hadn't expected the Divine Deer to speak up directly, and to confront Tianjian Can at that.
However, Chu Feng himself also wanted to refuse.
"Miss Can, the one who spoke is a senior of mine. It's not convenient for me to reveal her identity."
"But I advise you not to say anything disrespectful toward her. She is not someone you can afford to offend, and I will not allow anyone to show disrespect to this senior of mine."
Chu Feng said to Tianjian Can.
Making his protective stance toward the Divine Deer clear.
"Oh?"
"So that's why you're so confident — there's a reason after all."
"Rest assured, I won't be disrespectful to your senior. Your senior is my senior as well."
"However, this is out of courtesy and out of respect for you — it doesn't mean my Tianjian Sacred Palace fears anyone."
"Let alone the fact that my Tianjian Sacred Palace has that Ancestor watching over us — even without that Ancestor, my Tianjian Sacred Palace would not fear any force in the current martial world."
Tianjian Can said, brimming with confidence and even carrying a hint of a threat.
Chu Feng smiled faintly and didn't respond.
"Young Master Chu Feng, is it Xianhai Yu'er?"
"She's the woman you love? So that's why you won't marry me?"
"Fine then, I'll make an exception this once and allow you to take her as a concubine," Tianjian Can said.
"Miss Can, don't you understand what I'm saying? I want to focus on my Heavenly Thunder bloodline," Chu Feng said.
