Chapter 984: Sudden Proposal
Chapter 984: Sudden Proposal
Both Max and Nie Haolong were surprised but Max immediately realized that she had seen him hesitate and understood something. This was why she wanted to talk to him alone.
Nie Haolong, however, was clueless. He was also a bit curious but since he was sad from the reveal just now and always obeyed his elder sister, he nodded and walked out of the room.
After he left, Nie Xiaolu asked, “Brother Chen, just now… you were hesitant to say something. What was it?”
Max contemplated it for a moment, then said, “Your and aunt’s conditions can’t be treated from medicine because the coldness you feel deep within you is due to the presence of dense Pure Yin Energy.”
Nie Xiaolu was once again surprised.
“How do you know this, no, that’s not important.” She hurriedly shook her head, then asked, “Since you know the reason behind our condition, do you know how can it be fixed?”‘
Max nodded and said, “I know of two ways. First, you find a cultivation art of yin attributes and cultivate it. At that time, not only will it resolve your problem, you will immediately become a cultivator and your strength will rapidly increase. However, I doubt you would be able to find such a cultivation art because they are incredibly precious. Perhaps even those Noble Families don’t possess one.”
Nie Xiaolu was disappointed but nodded in understanding.
“What’s the other way?” she asked, knowing this was the reason he hesitated to speak earlier.
Max took a breath and revealed, “You need to have sex with a man who possesses Pure Yang physique. Your coupling will fix your condition and will benefit your cultivation.”
“You hesitated earlier because you possess a Pure Yang Physique?” Nie Xiaolu asked after suppressing the embarrassment she felt upon hearing his words.
“No,” Max’s response surprised her and she asked, “Then…”
“While I don’t have a Pure Yang Physique, I possess something else. If you have sex with me, the result will be the same if not better.” Explained Max while keeping a neutral expression on his face so she wouldn’t feel embarrassed.
“…I see.” Nie Xiaolu nodded in understanding, then lowered her head and fell silent.
Seeing this, Max closed his eyes and waited for her to think things through and decide. He didn’t use his charm either because he didn’t want to affect her decision lest she regretted it later on.
Seconds trickled into minutes and soon five minutes had passed.
Right then, Nie Haolong’s voice from outside broke the silence, “Are you two done talking or need more time?”
Nie Xiaolu raised her head, her expression not giving away her thoughts.
“Yes, just give us one minute.” She called out, then looked at Max and asked, “Are you sure I’ll be able to cultivate?”
“Yes,” Max nodded confidently.
“Then I’m willing to do it. But you won’t tell Haolong about this.” Nie Xiaolu exhorted.
Max frowned, “But we won’t be able to keep it hidden for long.”
Nie Xiaolu’s eyes widened in surprise and a faint blush coloured her cheeks as she asked, “We… have to do it multiple times?”
“I told you both you and your mother possess a Yin constitution. Even if all the Pure Yin has been extracted from you, your body will naturally give birth to more. So yes, we have to do it multiple times and would have to keep doing it until you are able to control it.”
“I understand.” Nie Xiaolu softly bit her lower lip, then hopefully asked, “Once I’m able to control it, would I be able to help mother?”
“That might be possible.” Max gave the honest answer.
Nie Xiaolu sighed in relief, ‘At least mother wouldn’t have to do it with him.’
But then she remembered her condition and quickly asked, “When do you think I will be able to control my Yin Energy?”
“I can’t say for sure, you would need to reach the Sky Ascension realm at least.” Answered Max.
Since the first five realms, from Skin Refinement to Marrow Cleansing, were just foundational realm and didn’t involve energy control, he knew she wouldn’t be able to control her yin energy unless she exceeded them and reached Sky Ascension Realm.
Nie Xiaolu became dazed.
Sky Ascension Realm…
This was a realm even her family’s patriarch could probably only dream about reaching. As for her, a mere mortal, this was an impossibility. But now she needed to achieve this impossible if she wanted to become able to control her energy and help her mother.
However…
She gritted her teeth.
Even if she was incredibly lucky and managed to reach this realm, she knew it would take a long time, maybe several years.
But her mother… she couldn’t last for that long. In fact, if she let her endure that inhumane pain even a second longer after knowing the solution, she would feel very guilty.
After a while, she calmed her emotions as a solution to their predicament appeared in her mind and she bowed deeply towards Max.
“Brother Chen, please do me a favor.”
Swoosh!
Max hurriedly helped her up, “If you have something to say, just say it. No need to bow down to me.”
Nie Xiaolu nodded and told him her request, “Please marry me.”
“Huh?” This time Max was caught off guard.
“As you said earlier, we won’t be able to hide it from Haolong. And the only way is to get married if we don’t want to hurt your friendship with him. Also, then we’ll be able to move to your family and then… you can help mother too.” Nie Xiaolu explained. She was clearly not comfortable with her own suggestion but she knew this was the only way to improve their lives.
She also knew she was being very selfish here, that was why she had bowed down to him earlier.
“I understand.” Max exhaled, then nodded, “Let’s get married then.”
Saying this, he paused, then asked, “Will your family let us marry?”
“We will need uncle Zhanfeng to make it possible.” Nie Xiaolu answered. Then she handed him the box, containing the small Golden Fruit and said, “Brother Chen, you consume it and cultivate here for a while. I’ll go talk to Haolong and uncle Zhanfeng.”
Max took the box, feeling his heart beat with anticipation as he stared at the fruit. Then he heard her words and asked, “Do you want to get married today itself?”
