Chapter 1394 1394: Because She Has Someone to Rely On!
"..."Qin Feng was utterly speechless. What kind of environment did she grow up in... Sigh...
He sighed heavily again.
Qin Feng rubbed his tired cheeks and said, "Forget it. For the peace and prosperity of Hua Country, for world peace, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
"What are you talking about?" Joanna asked.
Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Nothing, I'm saying... Fine! I accept your proposal and am willing to marry you!"
"Really? That's great! Thank you!!"
Joanna's sapphire-like eyes sparkled brightly, and she excitedly stood up to bow to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng looked up.
He just happened to see the snowy scene within her loose neckline and hurriedly covered his nose, saying, "You, you sit down!"
Joanna sat down excitedly.
Qin Feng spoke earnestly once again, "Although I have agreed, we must abide by the law, you know? In our Hua Country, you can only get married officially when you're twenty. Understand?"
At that moment, Qin Feng wanted to thank whoever enacted that law.
Having such a law is truly wonderful.
It served as his shield.
Once she grew up, with a mature world view and values, she would have her own thoughts and understand.
Sure enough, Joanna was puzzled for a moment, but then nodded in agreement, "Mm, okay!"
However, she immediately added, "Then when do we start?"
"Start what?" Qin Feng asked.
"Start having a baby!" An Qiaona said.
"Pfft!"
Qin Feng almost spat blood and said, "Didn't I just tell you? You have to wait until you're officially married at twenty."
"Oh, I see. Then we'll just have to wait." An Qiaona said.
"That's the right way!" Qin Feng smiled lightly, "Then let's begin by finding Xumi Land with the Crystal Ball!"
"Didn't you say after twenty?" Joanna said.
"...I mean, getting married or having a baby after twenty!" Qin Feng said.
"Yes! But with my power, I can't use the Crystal Ball's power!" Joanna said. "I heard from my parents that to activate it, you need very powerful strength. I cannot do it alone; it must be with the power of 'Love is Stronger than Gold' when we are truly together."
"..."
Qin Feng was utterly confused.
After all that, it circled back to the starting point...
"I don't believe it!"
He grabbed Joanna's Crystal Ball and tried to activate it with his inner power.
But.
This Crystal Ball could only be activated by Western wizard skills; no matter how much power Qin Feng had, it was useless.
Qin Feng grasped Joanna's hand, sensing her power, and then said, "Your current power level is that of a Great Knight, equivalent to our Eastern practitioner's Spirit King Realm. Are you sure you can't activate the Crystal Ball?"
"No."
Joanna shook her head.
"..."
Qin Feng was in a dilemma.
Does it really require being together with her to open it?
But.
She's only thirteen.
If he did that, he'd be no better than a beast!
Qin Feng was very upset.
In the end, he decided to give up.
There must be another way to find Xumi Land, but he could never ruin her. Otherwise, he'd hate himself forever!
Qin Feng rubbed his face, turning serious, and said to Joanna, "Sorry, I take back everything I said earlier. But rest assured, if I really become some Creator God, I will save your parents. Between us, it's better to be friends."
After speaking, Qin Feng turned and walked away.
Xiao Wu called after him, "Hey! Can you be so heartless?"
"I'm doing it for her own good." Qin Feng said, turning back.
Unexpectedly, he saw Joanna crying, heartbroken, saying between sobs, "My uncle said all men are liars, turns out he was right. Just a few minutes, and I've been deceived..."
"..."
Qin Feng was at a loss.
Xiao Wu gave him a sidelong glance, "Look at the damage you've done to her young heart. Can you bear for her to lose her trust in men at such a young age?"
"..."
Qin Feng was quite helpless.
Seeing Joanna crying so miserably, he couldn't bear it either. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! That was just a joke. We can still be together, but only if we don't think about things that only adults can think about until you're twenty..."
Before he could finish, the previously tearful Joanna wiped her eyes, beamed brightly, and nodded heavily, "Got it, husband!"
"..."
For a moment, Qin Feng felt tricked...
"Husband, I'm hungry. Let's eat something first?"
Joanna rubbed her rumbling stomach.
Qin Feng sighed, and the three of them headed to the hotel restaurant.
This hotel was very luxurious.
The surrounding lights were made of Luminous Pearls filled with Spiritual Energy.
The three sat together, and Joanna even asked a servant to light candles, creating a very grand candlelight dinner.
Of course.
This was in the hall.
"Husband, come, have a piece of beef. The beef at this place is super, super delicious!" Joanna used a fork to spear a piece for Qin Feng.
Brother Qin was very confused.
Though he agreed to it, how did she become so familiar? Too enthusiastic!
When Joanna went to the restroom, Qin Feng hurriedly whispered to Xiao Wu, asking what was going on.
Xiao Wu sighed lightly and said, "She's had it tough. The Bright Holy Sect is one of the world's nine top organizations; such a high-level organization often has fierce internal power struggles. Especially after her parents were frozen, she became a target for family contention. All her relatives kept using her. So when I mentioned introducing her to a husband who could be with her for life, offering a safe haven, she was as happy as a child because she found someone to rely on."
"..."
Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Who would've guessed that someone who seemed so pure and innocent had suffered so much?
Her current status in the Bright Holy Sect is like those with royal blood in ancient Hua Country; when the nation is in turmoil, they become tools for those with ambitions. For instance, Cao Cao manipulated the emperor to control the nobility, using royal blood as an excuse for his actions. Like Xiang Yu, back in the day, who also sought a puppet with royal blood, claiming it was to help him reclaim the world. They were all just "tools."
"So, you have to treat her well." Xiao Wu said.
At this moment, Joanna hurried back from the restroom, her expression a bit displeased.
"What's wrong?" Qin Feng asked.
"Ran into some stinky hooligans." Joanna said, pouting, then changed her angry face and gave Qin Feng another piece of beef, "Hubby, eat some more; we won't let them ruin our good mood today."
At this moment.
A group of people quarrelling were coming over...
