Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1120 - 434: My Belief, Your Pain, The Ultimate Level of Duplicity (Part 3)
Ren Zhong sat beside Ma Xiaoling, "Yes, life’s encounters are often so coincidental."
"Ren Zhong." Ma Xiaoling suddenly called Ren Zhong’s name.
"Hmm."
"You know, ’A twisted melon is not sweet.’ This is a saying I learned from ’Wilderness Era.’ I think it’s quite appropriate to describe you and me. I can’t figure out why you suddenly changed your mind. Is there another situation that requires us to fake being a couple or even married again? Did you meet the Frozen Elder? Do the ancestors of the Shenxun Ma family really care about this? Did you make this decision to further win him over and split the Frozen Elder?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "Although marrying a descendant of Ma Zhongfei indeed makes him rely more on me, that’s not the main reason."
"Then what is it? This is so unlike the you I know. It feels strange. You have to give me a clear explanation. Otherwise, I don’t want to wrong myself and let you take advantage of me for nothing."
Ma Xiaoling spoke casually.
Ren Zhong looked at her side profile, thinking to himself, this might be the ultimate level of saying one thing and meaning another, just like himself.
Ren Zhong pondered for a long time, ultimately not revealing the heartfelt confession she made in another timeline.
Ma Xiaoling is thin-skinned, and suddenly exposing the truth might not persuade her, but instead anger her, making her fully display her prideful and stubborn nature, leading to a life of solitary regret.
Ren Zhong: "What if I said I sympathize with you, and this emotion gradually grew into affection, would you believe me?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Ma Xiaoling stared directly into his eyes, remained silent for a long moment, then burst out laughing, "Yeah, right! I’m one hundred percent sure you treat me like a man in your heart."
Ren Zhong’s mouth twitched.
I knew it would be like this, true affection just doesn’t last, and there’s no way to communicate normally with Sister Ma.
Ma Xiaoling continued, "Stop circling around it, just straightforwardly tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Ren Zhong stood up and shrugged, "I feel that with my current status, having only one spouse is not very respectable. Anyway, I have to take this step eventually, might as well start with someone familiar."
Ma Xiaoling: "Then why don’t you look for Chen Hanyu? She’s waiting for you too. Zheng Tian is also waiting for you."
Ren Zhong: "Because, at the current stage, I feel the most at ease with you. In some sense, could this really be considered affection?"
Ma Xiaoling was stunned for a long time.
Then she suddenly stood up, "I see now. You must have learned a lot about the Empire, and you need more spouses to mask your true self. You’ve destroyed Source Star’s ’net,’ but you believe the Empire has an even stronger ’net.’ You’re definitely making preparations, even if it means twisting your own thoughts and changing your principles."
Ren Zhong: "..."
Well, when Sister Ma is clear-headed, reasoning definitely doesn’t work.
But the next moment, Ma Xiaoling perked up, "Alright then, a brother should be ready to sacrifice himself for another. I’ve made a decision in my heart a long time ago."
"What decision?"
"I admire you, trust you, and know you’ll definitely become more remarkable. So as long as you need my help, I’m obliged to assist. I’ll give myself a way out, we’ll have a match, and if you win, we’ll get married. How about that?"
Ren Zhong slowly stood up, "Okay."
The battle between the two took place on the ground.
The opponents were Level Eight High Rank Ren Zhong and Ma Xiaoling, who appeared to be Seventh Level but had combat capabilities fully matching the Level Eight standard.
Now Ren Zhong’s Red Peak Armor, supported by the Alien Ore Alloy, had already reached Level Nine in performance.
As for Ma Xiaoling’s Silver Armor, it was equally extraordinary, incorporating extensive core technology from Starfire Military Industry along with numerous black tech interstellar trade equipment Ren Zhong sourced from Source Star Military Industry and Alson Group.
Within just a few minutes, a massive abandoned mine pit was completely collapsed, with intense vibrations spreading far and wide, reaching the core of Starfire Town, making the defending soldiers there quite uneasy.
Starfire Town’s head of security, Jiang Kai, hurriedly prepared to send people to investigate.
Fortunately, Ou Youning, knowing the inside story, quickly stopped him.
Ou Youning chuckled, "Don’t panic, the boss is wooing someone."
Jiang Kai clicked his tongue, "Who could it be? So fierce?"
Ou Youning whispered, "Who else could it be? Think again."
Jiang Kai thought for two seconds and realized, "Captain Ma!"
Ou Youning nodded, "Of course."
Although Ou Youning was flaunting his intelligence network, the solitary image of Chen Hanyu inexplicably surfaced in his mind.
Sometimes, Young Master Ou fantasizes that if the boss possessed just a tenth of his romantic skills, Chen Hanyu would surely lead a happier life.
