Chapter 25: Struck by Lightning? Damn, I Just Put on a Show!

Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Ao Tian remained silent.

He walked toward the hall entrance with light steps, gazing at the moonlit sky.

His back turned to everyone.

Until his face was hidden from their sight, a flicker of shock crossed it.

Damn!

What the hell is this about now?

If they want to harm me, isn’t this a bit much?

Could Jiang Luoli’s character setting have collapsed too?

Is there some kind of ploy?

Upon thinking this, Lin Ao Tian immediately dismissed it.

What a joke?

I know my own characters well!

Understand!

Jiang Luoli’s character setting is excellent!

For her to say such words is harder than killing her!

Reflecting for a moment, his only conclusion was: Jiang Luoli’s character went into shock!

But how it collapsed or in what direction, Lin Ao Tian was unsure.

With Ji Yue’er, having spent days together and understanding her low power posed no threat.

But Jiang Luoli was different!

If there was any change, he’d be finished.

He knew his antagonist identity very well!

Besides!

Even if Jiang Luoli was genuine, her status was too high. If he agreed, trouble would surely follow.

Lin Ao Tian knew several of Jiang Luoli’s pursuers, some even from restricted zones!

Moreover!

Even if Jiang Luoli were sincere, he couldn’t just marry her like that!

At least there should be some emotional development, right?

Based on the above points, Lin Ao Tian concluded that he should not agree!

[Ding, Choice One: Accept Jiang Luoli’s marriage proposal. Reward: Green Cauldron!]

[Choice Two: Reject Jiang Luoli’s marriage proposal. Reward: Wild Tower!]

The system’s voice echoed in his head, and Lin Ao Tian’s eyes lit up instantly.

Wow!

The system is amazing!

Regardless of rejection or acceptance, the reward quality is comparable.

Not bad, not bad!

These two treasures were already very formidable in this realm.

As the author, Lin Ao Tian understood.

The Wild Tower is an Eastern Wilderness Human Clan’s treasure, rumored to be left behind when immortals formed the celestial court; according to the plot, it is used to stabilize a yin grave in the Demon Emperor’s Mausoleum, later left to Ling Feng after the Qing Emperor’s emergence.

The Green Cauldron, also known as the Ascension Cauldron, is an ancient artifact of the Celestial Court, nurtured by the veins of the ancestries centered on Kunlun, associated with ascension opportunities.

Between the two treasures, Lin Ao Tian leaned toward the Wild Tower, as he was preparing to seize future opportunities from Tianming’s child, Ling Feng, after breaking through the divine fire.

The Wild Tower could be crucial in achieving that.

His contemplation lasted only a moment.

The next second.

Lin Ao Tian’s gentle voice resounded.

“I firmly refuse.”

Just those plain three words.

No embellishment or euphemism.

Simply commanding!

Jiang Luoli’s face displayed surprise: “Why?!”

She didn’t understand why Lin Ao Tian refused.

In the previous life, Lin Ao Tian explicitly said he liked her type.

Had he changed in this life?

No!

That was impossible!

She couldn’t accept Lin Ao Tian changing his heart.

Biting her red lips, Jiang Luoli looked at his white-clothed back with resentment.

Beside her, Ji Yue’er breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Phew!

Just as I thought!

Thump, thump, thump!

Lin Yindao was stunned, just like Ji Daotian.

They began doubting their ears.

What the heck?

That boy refused?

Did he know who he was facing?

Did Jiang Luoli not introduce herself to Lin Ao Tian just now?

A stream of shocked questions surfaced in the elderly pair’s minds.

However, Lin Ao Tian’s following words left everyone astounded.

“My path remains unfulfilled, and I currently have neither time nor thought for such things.”

Lin Ao Tian’s eyes gazed into the night sky, a glimmer of solitude and desolation in them.

In the void.

Liu Ruyan’s brows furrowed slightly, a whimsical thought crossing her mind.

Could he be looking at me?

“Lin Lang, marrying me wouldn’t conflict with your path, would it?”

Jiang Luoli lightly bit her red lips, persistently questioning.

Yes!

Why marrying her would relate to Lin Ao Tian’s path, she didn’t understand.

Next, Lin Ao Tian spoke with aged worldly wisdom.

“Born with double pupils, I perceive sights others cannot!”

“I’ve seen a city with a soul, recording aeons of sorrow and vicissitudes, enduring war flames, soaked in immortal blood, becoming a monument! Unyielding in a hundred battles, existing here, repelling otherworldly cavalry!”

“I’ve seen grass soaring across the cosmos, slicing sun, moon, and stars, just to protect billions of beings.”

“What is eternal lasting through aeons, what is everlasting, is fought for.”

“And my path!”

(tln : lmao, how to decline marriage : step 1 -> yapping )

At this, Lin Ao Tian’s brow held a hint of defiance, the white clothing fluttering in the breeze, three thousand black hairs dancing with the wind.

“Is to cut across the ages with swords, fists suppressing past, present, and future!”

“For the world and its beings, creating a perfect world!”

“This is my path!”

Speaking thus, Lin Ao Tian’s gaze wandered.

“So my path is long, also lonely, the heavens and causes all upon me. Marrying you…is temporarily impossible!”

Having spoken, Lin Ao Tian didn’t turn back, stared at the starry sky, and blinked.

Wondering if those slick words might pick a bit from Liu Ruyan’s wool…

“Hm?”

“Why is no one speaking?”

“Could just bragging have stunned them?”

…

Boom!

Lin Ao Tian pondered.

Above Feixian Palace.

An ear-splitting sound erupted.

Suddenly, the once tranquil night sky seemed destined to tear apart, thunder rolling.

Rummmmmble!

Purple lightning sparkled.

Nine colossal Thunder Dragons surged forth from the depths of the sky.

Lin Ao Tian hesitated momentarily, observing the commotion in the air, bewildered.

Am I… about to be struck by lightning?!

凸(艹皿艹)凸！

Just for some words, really?

If he were an average person, uttering those words would be inconsequential, but he wasn’t—he was the Young Emperor who sparked the chaotic green lotus phenomenon!

Acknowledged by this world, an exceptionally gifted one!

Only to see.

A golden light beam cut through the silent night sky, gradually enlarging and tearing the night sky!

Within it, golden light spread, an ethereal celestial realm space unfolded before their eyes.

Countless celestial birds soared high, and should certain ancient existences behold it, they’d surely recognize shadows of true phoenix and gold crow!

What’s more terrifying!

Within this space.

Suddenly emerged, figure after ancient towering figure, standing at the heavenly edge, shrouded in chaotic mist, backs toward the beings.

These old figures, mysterious and ancient as if from the future or the past.

Their presence seemed solely to witness that single utterance.

“Boom~!”

Suddenly.

Lin Ao Tian felt a swirling mysterious force around him.

It was chaotic light, from not one power source.

They encircled him, joyously…

TLN : HAHAHAH AO TIAN REALLY JUST YAPPING AND THE WORLD GOES BOOM!! HAHAHAHA
