Xue Le took him directly to her mansion. As they returned, Fu Chen revealed that his wounds have healed. Not surprising that he took the healing pill and also leveled up.

No matter the circumstances, she still took him to her room.

“Chen, we might have gotten ourselves into big trouble.” As soon as they entered her room, Xue Le revealed a serious gaze and spoke.

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and asked “What?”

“My mother wants me to return to the Royal Capital. Brother told her about our relationship. What should I do? I just did everything I could to distract my brother so that we can spend our….”

“Mhmmm!”

Suddenly, Fu Chen pulled her and kissed her lips. As he kissed her, he slowly moved his tongue inside her. The kiss wasn’t that surprising but when he tried to insert his tongue, it freaked her out.

She blocked his tongue with her lips but soon, she gave up and his tongue entered her mouth. Her tongue was like a frightened rabbit. But, slowly, the large snake caught the frightened rabbit and pulled it.

Fu Chen didn’t do much. He just kissed her for five minutes until both of them were out of breath. After they separate, he looked into her eyes and said.

“Xue Le, without true strength, no matter how much we try to trick them, we won’t succeed. You know this from the beginning, didn’t you?”

Xue Le smacked her lips together and lowered her head.

“So, let’s not rely on anything else. Yes, it is quite hard to be separated from each other. And, probably, not good for me, especially with your beauty, you are bound to attract hundreds of men. I really don’t want to get separated from you.”

Xue Le widened her eyes and raised her head.

“Are you afraid that I will leave you?”

“Yeah! I don’t want to lie to you but I’m really afraid. You and I are together for a few days and we both fell in love with each other. Maybe it is true love or maybe it is not. I know my love is true but I am afraid if we get separated, you will slowly forget me.”

Slap!

At this moment, Xue Le raised her hand and slapped his cheeks. Fu Chen didn’t say anything. He was truly afraid, especially after that dream. He felt like she is only with him because of the influence of the system.

And, that scared him. Because he truly loved Xue Le. He was attracted by her at first but now, he truly loves her.

“Do you know why I slapped you?” Xue Le asked with an angry expression.

Fu Chen hesitated for a while before answering “Because I doubted you.”

“No! It is your right to doubt me. You are not wrong for doubting me. But, you are wrong for doubting yourself. Do you know why I fell in love with you in the first place?” Xue Le screamed and asked.

Fu Chen shook his head.

Xue Le slowly calmed down and sighed “Because you are my type. You don’t understand? We girls love the boys who are just like us. Do you think I would cheat on you?”

“No, not a single type of girl like me would cheat on her love. Do you know why? Because we only fell in love with the boys who are just like us. Do you know who could cheat on you?”

“A girl who is insecure. A girl who loves sex. A girl who lives for benefits. And, a girl who is weak. I am none of those. I only fell in love with you because you are just like me.”

“You train as hard as before despite awakening the talent.”

When she said that, Fu Chen’s eyes widened. For a moment, he couldn’t wrap his head around her words. He closed his eyes and asked.

‘Ysla, how did the system make Xue Le interested in me?’

Ysla was silent for a moment but soon, she answered ‘Do you really think the system has the power to influence others, especially feelings of others?’

‘It doesn’t?’

‘No, of course not! Look, the system can’t help you kill someone. The system can’t make others fall in love with you. And, the system can’t help you control and dominate the people around you.’

‘It can only affect you. Do you know how girls are attracted to boys in the first place? It’s not because they are talented or handsome or rich. Yeah, there are some girls who do get attracted but when it comes to love, those things don’t matter.’

‘It’s your charisma that matters. And, for different girls, a different kind of charisma is required. The system just generated the information about her and what kind of charisma she would get attracted to and helped you with that.’

‘It didn’t help her fall in love. It helped you increase your charisma but it didn’t do much. After all, it was you who did all the hard work. It’s just that it magnified every second of your hard work.’

‘Did you really think she is with you because of the system? The system only shortened the time by magnifying each second. If you had continued interacting with her and showed her the same level of passion for hard work and determination, she would still feel the same way about you. It would just take a few months rather than days.’

When he heard those words, Fu Chen’s eyes widened. He couldn’t help but stare at Xue Le.

“Chen! Is something wrong?” Seeing him silent for so long made her quite confused and a little bit terrified. She knows that she fell in love because of how charming he looked when he worked out.

Each night after they leave, she couldn’t sleep because she kept thinking about how charming he looked during training. It couldn’t disappear from her mind.

In fact, on the third day, she even forgot to sleep and ended up thinking about him the entire night, giggling and smiling. She was quite embarrassed for thinking about him like that.

Fu Chen on other hand completely ignored her call and instantly grabbed her. He pulled her into his embrace and tightly hugged her. When he had that dream, he was really scared of losing her.

Because he felt like she only loved him because of the system but now that the truth was in front of him, he finally let his heart loosen a bit. He couldn’t get happier than this.

But, suddenly he remembered something.

Fox! A new girl to who he is engaged. When he thought about her, he felt incredible guilt in his heart. If his parents force him to marry her, then he can’t say no.

Not because she is beautiful, not because she is strong, but because they are his parents. They meant everything to him.

And, that’s the problem. The more time they spend with her, the closer they will get.

At this moment, he suddenly pushed her away and she also retreated from his embrace. Both of them lowered their heads. They didn’t know that both of them had the same thoughts at the same time.

“Chen/Le, I have something to tell you.” Both of them spoke at the same time. When they did, they realize the tension in the air.

“You go first.” Fu Chen spoke.

“No, you go first.” Xue Le got embarrassed and spoke.

“Ladies first!” Fu Chen continued.

“No, you go first.” Xue Le slowly got angry as she spoke.

“Alright, both of us will go at the same time.” Fu Chen kept getting the weird feeling. His heart was barely holding on.

Xue Le nodded her head and bites her lips.

“One! Two! Three!”

“I have a fiancee. He/she is the richest/strongest person in the world. But, I don’t love him/her at all.” Both of them spoke at the same time. Both of them looked at each other for a moment and decided to remain silent.

After a while, Fu Chen opened his mouth “So, your family has a reason for marrying him to you?”

Xue Le nodded her head “In our family, we have a bloodline. It is one of the special treats that only a few families in this world have. Even most of the monsters can’t awaken their bloodline. My bloodline requires a massive amount of energy and resources.”

“So, my family made an engagement to the heir of the Zhao Family. He is the richest person in the world with an unimaginable amount of wealth. If I marry him, all of his wealth will belong to me as well, and thus, I can smoothly awaken my bloodline.”

“Of course, I also don’t need to change my surname. These are the conditions in the engagement letter. My family couldn’t resist the temptation and decided on their own.”

After that Xue Le turned silent before asking.

“So, what about yours?”
