On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Lin Zhen's words "the method to make you stronger" were like a stone thrown into a calm cold pond, causing huge waves in Cheng Xuan's heart!

She turned her head suddenly, and her clear and stubborn glass eyes instantly burst out with an indescribable scorching light!

Like a spark that suddenly ignites in the night sky!

As a top killer who has been instilled with the supremacy of strength since childhood and has gone through thousands of life-and-death battles to reach the position of the leader of the Twelve Immortals, the word "become stronger" has long been engraved in her bones and has become a brand in the deepest part of her soul!

This is almost the ultimate temptation that any martial artist cannot resist!

However, when her eyes met the undisguised mischief and playfulness in Lin Zhen's deep eyes, and the smirk at the corner of his mouth as if he knew everything and was in control of the overall situation, the strong desire that was aroused in her was instantly extinguished by a huge sense of shame and vigilance!

Her body shrank back suddenly like a frightened hedgehog!

The slender but straight back tensed instantly and hit the hard and cold rosewood chair back heavily!

It was as if she wanted to use this solid support to resist the invisible pressure brought by the dangerous and tempting man in front of her!

She blurted out almost subconsciously, her voice trembling and resisting in a way she herself didn't even notice: "You...you're lying!"

She tried to arm herself with doubts to cover up her inner turmoil.

Lin Zhen looked at her, who was obviously moved but pretending to be calm, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

He leaned forward slightly, his hands folded on his knees, his posture relaxed yet filled with an unquestionable certainty: "Lying to you? I, Lin Zhen, always keep my word. If I say there is, then there is! And not only can it make you stronger rapidly, it's not impossible for you to even surpass Qingxia."

"Surpass...the Sect Master?!" Cheng Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted!

In the hearts of these heavenly fairies, Qingxia's strength is almost an insurmountable peak!

Lin Zhen's words were like throwing a huge rock into her heart!

The huge shock hit her mind like a tsunami!

She was stunned for several breaths before she could barely regain a bit of clarity from those earth-shattering words.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the alluring illusion. Her red lips pursed tightly, she retorted with an almost stubborn conviction, "Impossible! The Sect Master said! Martial arts practice is like rowing against the current! Only with daily accumulation, can water drip through a stone! There's no such thing as overnight success! Those... those methods that claim to instantly increase one's power are nothing but evil and heretical ways! They're like drinking poison to quench thirst! In the end, they'll only destroy one's foundation and lead one down the path of evil! I... I don't want to learn that kind of thing!"

She seemed to be trying to persuade Lin Zhen, but more like she was trying to persuade her own heart that was aroused and ready to move.

"Evil heretic?" Lin Zhen seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous. He sneered, and with a look of arrogant confidence, he pointed at himself.

"Look at me then! I'm Lin Zhen! What was I like a few months ago? A weak and frivolous dandy who couldn't even beat up a third-rate thug! And look at me now!"

He stood up suddenly, and an invisible aura as steady as a mountain yet with a sharp edge instantly emanated from his tall body, enveloping the entire room!

"Do you think I'm completely ruined and have fallen into evil? Hmm?"

This momentum was like a real shock wave, which made Cheng Xuan's breathing difficult!

She had to admit that the Lin Zhen in front of her was completely different from the one a few months ago!

That unfathomable, abyss-like aura made even a top killer like her feel a strong threat and an indescribable awe!

Lin Zhen looked down at Cheng Xuan, who was sitting in the chair and slightly stiffened by his imposing manner. His voice had a piercing power that pierced her deepest desires:

"Chengxuan, tell me, as a warrior, a killer pursuing the pinnacle of power..."

"Don't you want to...become stronger?"

"Don't you want to... stand at the pinnacle of martial arts and look down upon all living beings?"

"Don't you want to... become the world's one and only, unrivaled number one female assassin?!"

Every question was like a heavy hammer, hitting Chengxuan's defenses hard!

Her clenched fists trembled slightly, and her nails almost dug into her palms!

In those clear eyes, struggle, desire, doubt, vigilance...all kinds of emotions were intertwined and swirling violently!

Who among those who practice martial arts doesn’t desire to become stronger?

Who doesn’t dream of reaching the top?

This is an instinct engraved in our bones and blood!

She bit her lower lip tightly, feeling a conflict between her conscience and her conscience.

Reason told her that Lin Zhen's words were too unbelievable and full of danger.

But the temptation of "surpassing Qingxia" and "the best in the world" was like the devil's whisper, which made her heart flutter and unable to resist!

In the end, the strong desire that almost burst out of the body overwhelmed the last trace of doubt.

She suddenly raised her head and looked directly into Lin Zhen's eyes that seemed to be able to devour people's hearts. Her voice was filled with a barely perceptible urgency and hoarseness: "What exactly is that method you mentioned?!"

Lin Zhen watched her finally take the bait, and a fox-like cunning and complacent smile appeared on his face.

He sat back in his chair, his posture relaxed, as if everything was under control:

"Don't worry," he said in a soothing tone, yet revealing unquestionable control. "I, Lin Zhen, never mistreat my own people. This method will only benefit you, and will never harm you in the slightest."

He changed the subject, his eyes becoming sharp and possessive, "But, in exchange..."

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze entwined with Cheng Xuan like a chain:

"From now on, you must be my personal guard forever! Never leave my side! Follow my orders! Do anything for me!"

He deliberately emphasized the last three words, with an irresistible dominance and profound meaning.

Cheng Xuan's heart sank! "Forever," "closely," "anything"... these words put together instantly reminded her of many unbearable images!

The price is too high!

She almost subconsciously wanted to refuse!

However, Lin Zhen seemed to see through her hesitation and resistance.

He added slowly, "Of course, any of this is within your capabilities and does not violate your principles. I, Lin Zhen, would not be so despicable as to force my guards to do such dirty work."

He paused, his eyes tinged with a hint of amusement. "Furthermore, by becoming my personal bodyguard, you can continue your martial arts training and even gain unexpected resources and support. This deal is a sure win for you."

Cheng Xuan was silent.

She lowered her head, and her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, hiding the fierce struggle in her eyes.

On one side is the readily available shortcut and promise to the pinnacle of power, and on the other side is the bondage of freedom that is almost like a contract of sale...
