NovelEnglish“Third, and perhaps the most critical point,” Qiao Mu coolly fixed her gaze on Ming Asi, “My surname is Qiao.”
Ming Asi felt stifled by her final declaration.
What first, second, and third points? Where were all these justifications coming from? They were merely excuses.
“In the name of the Emperor, my Nether Province Royal Family will dispatch a marriage contract to the Mu Clan.” Ming Asi stared at the young lady before him, his tone indifferent. “Qiao Mu, you can’t evade this. You will inevitably become my partner for the rest of your life.”
With a sudden step forward, Asi seized her petite hand without warning.
Box
Without hesitation, he forcibly pulled her towards his side.

She struggled to free her wrist, but his grasp remained unyielding. “Take a look at this. It’s our marriage contract. It was ordained twenty years ago that you and I were destined to be together.”
“Twenty years, my foot!”
Qiao Mu twisted her arm, but it remained firmly ensnared by his iron-like grip.
The Startled Swan Dagger flashed into view, soaring from her mental pool and targeting Ming Asi’s throat.
This cunning and ruthless young girl sought to end his life with a single, lethal thrust to the throat.
Ming Asi swiftly sidestepped the attack, seizing the young lady and propelling her towards the window with a firm grip.
In this moment, he recollected their initial encounter in Shuwang City. The audacious youngster had treated him with unbridled candor.
In fact, she hadn’t regarded him as a human being from her demeanor, instead viewing him as a test subject.
He couldn’t fathom why this young girl was so ruthless towards him.
But with time, he came to understand. It was during their first meeting outside Shuwang City when he had assaulted his Aunt-Masters and Senior Sisters, nearly causing them harm.
It was precisely because of this that the young lady had regarded him as an adversary from the very start.
He clung to her wrist firmly, his gaze unwavering. “Are you still harboring resentment over what transpired several years ago?”
“I acknowledge that I was at fault during that incident. Leading the Flying Hawk Team to assault your Master and Senior Sisters was a mistake. However, that’s all in the past, and it occurred many years ago. Can’t you find it in yourself to forgive me?”
“Moreover, back then, I was your healer, and Tianzhao consumed your antidote for three consecutive meals. That debt should suffice to settle matters.” Asi drew the young lady closer to him. “Why do you consistently perceive me as an adversary? Can’t we establish a harmonious relationship after getting to know each other better?”
Miss Qiao was both flustered and exasperated. She cast a cold gaze at the fingers clutching her arm. “Release me!”
Do you truly wish to foster amicable relations with me?

“Qiaoqiao.” Ming Asi closed his eyes in anguish. “Why can’t you let go of your preconceived notions about me? Do you realize how elated I was when Mother revealed this engagement?”
“I believed that it was destiny!”
“This destiny was determined twenty years ago.”
“If we hadn’t missed each other due to various circumstances, you and I would already be man and wife.”
Qiao Mu felt somewhat taken aback by the fervor she detected in this individual’s eyes.
She had never imagined that Ming Asi held such strong feelings for her.
Was that how she had treated him back then? What was wrong with him to have such affection for her?
Dong, dong, dong! Dong!
Suddenly, the defensive barrier erected by Ming Asi shattered into fragments with a resounding crash..
