Strongest Offline Cultivation-Chapter 136 Journey in the Hell Part 3
Zhang Pu clenched his fist as the look of frustration appeared.
“Umm…. Can you not stare at me for so long?” Zhenxue spoke as her face turned red. She didn’t notice his expression but she could feel him staring at her for a long time.
Zhang Pu realized that he was indeed staring at her for a long time. He realized that those memories he was suppressing emerged once again and made him forget the flow of time.
But, at this moment, he opened his mouth and said.
“You are so beautiful that I couldn’t stop looking at you.”
When he said that, he was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t help but remember an encounter where one of the male disciples in the sect said the same thing to the female disciple.
But, he didn’t expect this to come out of his mouth.
Was he trying to flirt with her? No! He wasn’t.
Hearing his words, Zhenxue blushed even more. She didn’t realize that it was just an accident.
“I’m sorry that came out of nowhere. I wasn’t thinking straight.” Zhang Pu immediately apologized.
‘Damn it! Even though I have decided to make her my wife, I can’t say such things so bluntly. If she gets angry, I would be in big trouble. She isn’t someone like Wu Lin. I need to make our relationship stronger.’
But, contrary to his thoughts, Zhenxue was now angry.
‘This guy! Couldn’t he just keep his mouth shut? Doesn’t he know that it pleases girls when they are praised?’
“Humph!” Zhenxue snorted and looked away.
‘Oh shit! She is angry now. Damn it! I spend so much time making plans that I never thought of a relationship. No! Calm down, Pu. You still have control over this matter.’
‘After all, you are the one whom she needs to keep herself safe.’ Zhang Pu slowly calmed down and asked.
“So, will you tell me more about those people? Why were they chasing you?”
Zhenxue hesitated for a moment. She didn’t know whether it was really a good idea to tell him but at this moment, Zhang Pu spoke.
“I know your pain and your trouble. You have been abandoned by your own people for being ordinary. So, you don’t have to hide from me. I know this feeling very well.”
At this moment, Zhenxue lowered her head and chuckled.
“You think you know everything? You think a person with your strength despite being so young knows everything? You think a genius like you would ever understand my feelings?”
She raised her head as her laughter stopped and tears burst out of her eyes.
“YOU THINK YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ABANDONED? THIS EYE. MY FATHER TOOK IT FROM ME.”
“DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS? A PUNISHMENT FOR BEING ORDINARY. A PUNISHMENT FOR LOSING AGAINST SOMEONE. THIS IS ABANDONMENT.”
“YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND MY PAIN. My own mother was killed in front of me just because she gave birth to someone talentless like me. My own brother let his friends taint my body.”
“My own father beat me every single day for not being strong. You think this place is hell. NO! MY LIFE WAS HELL. YOU… SOB! SOB! HOW CAN YOU EVER UNDERSTAND ME?”
“HOW CAN ANYONE UNDERSTAND ME? I AM NOTHING BUT A TRASH BORN INTO A GREAT FAMILY. EVERY SINGLE DAY, AFTER I WAS BEATEN, I WISHED I WAS BORN IN A COMMON FAMILY.”
“EVERY SINGLE DAY! SOB! SOB!”
Zhenxue let out everything that was inside her heart. She just kept crying in his arms. Her tears didn’t dry. She had been holding them for years. After a long time, when her tears finally stopped falling, Zhang Pu opened his mouth.
“My mother tried to kill me.”
When he said that, Zhenxue’s eyes slowly widened as she looked at him.
“I am thirty-five years old but my father has never talked to me even once. I was born into the Royal Family as the only child who couldn’t even awaken his Martial Soul.”
“Royal Family must be perfect. It was their motto. When I was small, every day was like a hell for me. My mother had two children. One was me and another was my elder brother. From the small eyes, I wasn’t even considered a shadow of my brother.”
“I was almost nonexistent. My mother always beat me because I brought shame to her status. My elder brother always considered me trash and always let out his frustration on me.”
“I had several cousins but none, not a single one ever played with me. When I was small, I followed my brother to a forest where a shadow devil attacked us. It was living inside a deep well for a long time.”
“It caught me. I screamed for help. I cried for help from my brother but not even once he looked back. At that time, I knew I was abandoned. When I successfully lived through that and managed to leave that place, I returned to the palace.”
“When I thought my mother would be happy that I didn’t die, she tried to kill me. If it wasn’t for my death tainting their reputation, she would’ve killed me. I didn’t understand how could a mother be so cruel to her own child.”
“I even considered that I wasn’t her child but it wasn’t a long before I found the truth.”
At this moment, Zhang Pu finally released his cold expression.
“This world has sunk into darkness. Those people have corroded this world with their ideologies and past. And, I realized my dream was to erase those ideologies and bring the world to light.”
“And, there is only one way to do this, the only way to accomplish my dream, the only way to bring justice to you and several thousand peoples who are suffering the same fate as you, the only way to bring equality to this world.”
“Erasing every single genius in this world.”
When she heard his words, Zhenxue’s expression was complicated. She thought she was the only one who had to go through such a cruel fate. But, the person who saved her, the person who showed such powerful strength actually had the same fate as her.
“Is that why you saved me? Did you save me because I had the same past as you?”
Zhenxue asked as her voice got louder.
Zhang Pu shook his head and said “I didn’t even notice it until I truly saved you. The reason I saved you was because I need your help.”
Zhenxue bitterly laughed and shook her head.
“How can I be of any help? I can’t even defeat a normal person with the same cultivation as mine. I am even worse than trash. Even though I want to, I can’t fight for you.” f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
Zhang Pu suddenly caught her hands and shook his head.
“No, no, you don’t know your potential. You don’t know what is inside you even though it is sealed. I don’t know whether it was fate or coincidence we met so soon but I was searching for you…. Rather true you.”
Hearing his words, Zhenxue looked at him with confusion.
“What do you mean by true me? What could possibly be sealed inside me? I am even below normal.”
Zhang Pu shook her shoulders and said.
“Stop saying that! You mustn’t underestimate yourself. I know you have been through a lot but if I had given up just because I couldn’t even cultivate, I wouldn’t be here.”
“No…. In fact, I almost did give up. But I don’t want you to give up. I am here. I can help you unreal it. I can help you get stronger. And, you can help me accomplish my dream.”
“Zhenxue, be my wife! I promise I will create a world where there will be no geniuses. A world where leaders aren’t chosen by their strength but by the faith of people in them.”
“I know I can’t create a violence-free world because that would just be fantasy but I can create a world where thousands of ordinary people like us won’t be casted aside.”
Hearing his words and his proposal, Zhenxue was left stunned.
Is this how someone asks a girl to marry him? She couldn’t understand whether he was just shameless or serious.
But his words truly touched her heart. She wanted to see such a world. She wanted to live in such a world. She always wished that her world was just like that.
She always wished that her family wouldn’t treat her like that. Every morning, she hoped that today would be different. She hoped that they will change their attitude toward her.
She took a deep breath and shook her head.
At this moment, Zhang Pu was frozen. He didn’t know how to respond to it. But the next moment, she spoke.
“I will give what you want. I know you want me to be your wife because you need something from me and it would only be possible through sex. I will do it with you. I will give you what you want.”
She raised her finger at him and said.
“But if you want truly want me to be your wife, you must love me and make me fall in love with you.”
