Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 85: Huang Li (edited)

"Sigh," Huang Li lay on Lu Zhen's large bed, dressed in casual clothes with blankets covering her. Her eyes had dark circles beneath them.

"Am I doomed to become Lu Zhen's fiancée?" She pondered with a clenched fist.

In reality, she had managed to escape when she had the opportunity. However, upon overhearing the servants' conversation, her hopeful expression turned into one of despair, and she obediently returned to Lu Zhen's room.

"That bastard defeated my brother, a half-step third-stage martial artist, with a simple flick of his finger?" She questioned her reality, filled with regret.

Initially, Huang Li had held onto hope, believing that her family would safely retrieve her, after which she could find numerous ways to deal with Lu Zhen, even if he was a martial arts genius at the peak of martial trainees.

However, upon learning that Lu Zhen was a third-stage martial artist and her family had already given up on her, she felt utterly hopeless.

"Why did I foolishly attack Lu Zhen?" She berated herself as regret washed over her.

"That bastard will probably force himself upon me," her anger reached its peak when she thought of this, and her face turned rosy with embarrassment.

Her pride couldn't bear such humiliation, but her mind was filled with scenarios that made her question her own morality. She could feel her crotch was already wet.

*Tap! Tap!*

Huang Li suddenly heard footsteps, causing her eyes to widen. She hurriedly closed her eyes and tightened her blanket around herself.

With a 'swish' sound, she heard the door open.

Lu Zhen frowned when he sensed that Huang Li was in his bed. Even though she was covered by the blanket, his superhuman senses allowed him to deduce as much.

"Who told you to leave the room?" Lu Zhen said with an amused tone.

Hearing the amused voice of Lu Zhen however Huang Li's instincts warned her, and her body started to tremble.

"Me… I…" Lu Zhen could hear the fear in Huang Li's voice as she struggled to speak.

"Just get out of the bed for now," Lu Zhen said casually.

Though trembling, Huang Li managed to summon the strength to stand up. She obediently walked toward Lu Zhen with her head down.

Honestly she somehow always felt an instinctive fear when huang li looked at lu Zhen making her submissive towards him.

"Remember that you'll only be my fiancée if you prove yourself useful to me," he said, his eyes turning to an amused glint as he patted her red hair.

With his imposing figure towering over her, she appeared fragile, like a red rabbit in the presence of Lu Zhen, who resembled a beast entirely composed of muscles.

"And do you know what I do to those who are not useful?"

Huang Li felt chills running down her spine upon hearing Lu Zhen's words, causing her trembling to intensify. Her fear was palpable, and the "tak-tak" sound of her shaking on the floor echoed in the room.

Lu Zhen just watched her with amused eyes staring deeply at her with an expressionless face.

However he was a little confused why she was being so sacred.

"How can I be useful to you then?" She asked as she tightened her hidden fist.

She bowed deeply, lowering her head to the ground, and thoughts raced through her mind.

"Hmm, tell me about how you obtained those items, and I will let you go," Lu Zhen casually said, his eyes showing little interest.

"This…"

"You don't want to?" Lu Zhen remarked, and with a sudden release of his aura, Huang Li's eyes went blank for a moment, her mind clouded by his terrifying killing intent.

"The Huang family has already given up on you, and you know they won't come to save you anytime, right?" Lu Zhen's voice was like a whisper, delivered like a devil.

"They have already abandoned you."

Hearing this, Huang Li's eyes widened as the harsh reality of her situation set in.

"I can do whatever I want with you, and nobody can do anything to me. So, does the family matter to you now?"

"So, will you tell me or not?" Lu Zhen had a sly smile as he saw her hesitating expression.

"Alright, I will tell you, but I have some conditions," Huang Li said, trying to maintain her composure.

"Tell me," Lu Zhen responded, a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"My condition is that you take me as your main wife," she said, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"Since the family has already abandoned me, I might as well offer them information," Huang Li thought with resolve.

"Young master, I can provide you with details about how I obtained information regarding the items, as long as you can fulfill my single condition," she proposed.

Since Lu Zhen was a Third-stage martial artist and was guaranteed to become a patriarch, she wanted to have a higher status. Being called the main wife could undoubtedly elevate her position significantly. Then, she could do many things she couldn't before. The status of the young miss of the family was certainly lower than that of the wife of the patriarch.

She had her own ambitions.

When Lu Zhen heard this, he sneered.

"No," he responded, shaking his head.

"Then…"

"Sigh, I was doing you a little favour, little girl, you wanted to return previously no? Why are you asking me to make you my bride now?" Lu Zhen said with a cold expression.

"However, you want to become my main wife now, huh?" Lu Zhen had no intention of marrying a bratty girl like her, especially when it offered him no benefits whatsoever.

"What do you want, then?" she asked, her voice trembling with embarrassment.

"What will it take for me to be your main wife then?"

"Hmm, let me think," Lu Zhen mused, his eyes glinting with interest. However, after a moment, he shook his head.

"You have no use for me."

Huang Li frowned when she heard this. As her anger flared.

"How cute!" Lu Zhen chuckled as he gently patted the red kitten.

"How about I offer you my body?"

"What would I even get from that?" Lu Zhen's gaze turned peculiar as he observed her.

"This... didn't you kidnap me to get my body?"

"What the hell are you thinking in your head, women? Why would I do that? I can have as many women as I want, considering my status. Why would I even need you?"

"I can… I can…" Huang Lu was left without words.
