"You … really love me?" Mu Lan could feel the sincerity of Chen Jiu's love. She couldn't help but feel suspicious. This kind of love came from the heart. It was mellow and long lasting, as if it had been accumulated for many years.
"Roar —" The Dragon Ghost and Serpent God entered his body. A burst of origin energy shook Chen Jiu's tall body, and he coughed out two mouthfuls of blood on the spot.
"You … Are you alright? You're about to die, but you still don't forget to pick up girls. You're really a romantic." Qian Xiangyi watched from the side. She felt very uncomfortable, and her cute little mouth pouted.
"Love, Mu Lan. I really love you. I hope you can give me a chance. I won't let you down." Chen Jiu said resolutely.
Seeing Chen Jiu confess and cough out blood, Mu Lan felt a trace of emotion. But when she looked at the two girls beside her, she immediately became angry and shouted, "If you want to marry me, then kill them. Let me see your determination."
"What? You crazy woman, what kind of joke is this? " Qian Xiangyi jumped in fright. She quickly took a step back and glared at Chen Jiu. "Chen Jiu, you won't really kill me, right?"
"What do you think?" Chen Jiu smiled sinisterly. He wanted to scare Qian Xiangyi.
"Ah! Don't kill me, I'll marry you. Don't kill me, and don't marry her. Anyway, it doesn't matter who you marry. Besides, if I develop for a few more years, I won't be any worse than her." Qian Xiangyi's words were really shocking. Her words made Chen Jiu dumbfounded. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have scared her.
"Hmph, Chen Jiu, what kind of relationship do you have with her?" Mu Lan asked.
"I haven't even held her little hand yet. What do you think?" Chen Jiu felt that he had been wronged.
"You haven't even held my hand, and I'm willing to pay off your debt? Are you trying to fool a ghost?" Mu Lan sneered and said, "You don't have to be delusional. Why don't you take a look at your status as Chen Jiu? What right do you have to propose to me? Let me tell you, I'd rather marry a pig or a dog than marry you."
"Well, it's fine if you don't want to marry me, but why do you want to marry a pig or a dog?" Chen Jiu shrugged, which almost made Mu Lan explode with anger.
"You … you weren't joking with me just now, were you?" Mu Lan was shocked and thought of a terrifying possibility.
"Of course I wasn't joking. As long as you're willing, I can marry you at any time." Chen Jiu said with certainty, "Although you're not willing now, I think we don't have to be enemies all the time. At least you're no match for me now. It's useless for you to be enemies with me. Let's work together."
"Work together? How do you want to work together?" Mu Lan asked, because Chen Jiu's current strength was really beyond her ability.
"Get rid of those despicable people who plotted against us and take revenge. If you still have hatred, you can come and take revenge on me. What do you think?" Chen Jiu suggested immediately.
"Hmph, if you want to work together with me, you have to answer a few of my questions." Mu Lan's eyes moved and she couldn't help asking.
"What questions? Tell me." Chen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Mu Lan agreed, this matter would be settled.
"You're just a Level Five warrior. How could you defeat me? And in your unique skill, there was a very strong Sword Essence. What's that about?" Mu Lan was actually curious about the Supreme Sword Essence of Solitude that she had felt.
"I practice evil skills, so I'm naturally stronger than ordinary people. But to defeat you, I really can't do it." Chen Jiu didn't hide anything and said, "The reason why I defeated you is because of the Sword Essence of Solitude. It was left by a nameless sword tomb. If you promise not to kill me, I can let you comprehend it and help you reach the Level Nine Supreme Power Realm."
"What? It can help me reach the Level Nine Supreme Power Realm. "Mu Lan was shocked. There was a huge difference between a Level Eight warrior and a Level Nine Supreme Power Realm. If she could become a Level Nine Supreme Power Realm warrior, it would definitely be a big step up.
"What? Are you willing to promise me? "Chen Jiu smiled slightly.
"I still have one more thing." Mu Lan didn't answer, but asked again, "What's the matter with the love you have for me in your eyes?"
"You think too highly of yourself. How come I can't see the love in his eyes?" Qian Xiangyi wanted to ruin this marriage.
"Love …" Chen Jiu's eyes sank into deep thought. Finally, he said, "If I say that you are the goddess of my dreams, would you believe me?"
"Goddess of your dreams? What do you mean?" The three women were puzzled.
"Since I was young, there was a girl who grew up with me in my dreams. Although we didn't know each other, and each time we brushed past each other without leaving a word, I knew that I liked her. It's just that I didn't dare to confess to her. I was afraid that she would disappear or reject me …" Chen Jiu changed his words slightly and said with a touch of sadness.
"Wuwu, what a touching love story. Will she still appear now?" Qian Xiangyi's face was filled with emotion.
"She disappeared in the dream, but appeared in reality." Chen Jiu continued, glaring at Mu Lan with a face full of love, causing her beautiful face to immediately blush.
"You're lying. This ghost story doesn't sound good at all." Although she retorted, it was obvious that Mu Lan's expression had worked. It showed that she was secretly very happy.
"So it's the goddess of young master's dreams. Lan Lan congratulates young master for finally seeing the real person. You have to work hard to marry big sister Mu Lan." Chen Lan wasn't jealous. Instead, she sincerely wished him well.
"Hmph, don't listen to his nonsense. Don't be fooled by his flowery words," advised Mu Lan.
"That's right. It's not that easy to marry a fairy from the Qiankun Academy. Once her suitors come, they'll be able to crush the nine heavens." Qian Xiangyi pouted unhappily.
"No matter if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, or if the world changes, my heart will always remain the same." Chen Jiu's voice was resolute and decisive.
"Alright, that's enough. You really know how to lie. I'll agree to cooperate with you, alright? But cooperation is cooperation. You're not allowed to have any improper thoughts about me. Do you understand?" Mu Lan finally relented. She had finally agreed to Chen Jiu's request to cooperate. She had gone from being his enemy to being his comrade.
Although the change had happened quickly, it was mainly because Chen Jiu had used it cleverly. For a proud and aloof woman like Mu Lan, if you didn't defeat her first, you wouldn't have any right to speak. But now that he had defeated her and had sincerely confessed to her, she had opened up some of her heart. It had also caused her to have a good impression of Chen Jiu. That was why she had agreed to cooperate with him.
"What do you want to cooperate with? Can you give me a share? "Qian Xiangyi couldn't help begging.
"What does that have to do with you?" Mu Lan rolled her eyes unhappily.
