Battle God In Martial Meritocrats Continent

3The wind was still blowing on the hill. Qi Zhuohao paused for a moment to let Shen Ji digest what he had said. He then continued, "Shen Ji, your parents actually did not abandon you. They have been running around all their lives to save you. After going through so many difficulties, they managed to collect the Frost Blood Crystals. In the end... In the end, they had risked their lives and entered the Myriad Corpses Mountain, obtaining the Evil Nether Stone. Everything they did was for you. "     1

    

"Your mother was reluctant to absorb the Frost Blood Crystal and Evil Nether Stone until the very last moment. They handed these two treasures to me. They entrusted me to pass them to you. They said that they owe you too much. I don't beg for your forgiveness. I only hope that you can live well. " After saying that, Qi Zhuohao took out the Interspatial Ring and handed it to Shen Ji.    

    

Qi Zhuohao's words were like lightning striking Shen Ji's heart. She understood everything. Her body became numb. She slowly reached out and took the ring. Her hand was trembling. It turned out to be like this. Her parents did not let her down at all. It was all her imagination. For her, her parents had sacrificed their lives. What a joke! She still hated her parents in her heart!    

    

What Qi Zhuohao said was right. Her parents were really the greatest parents in the world!    

    

"Why, why..." Shen Ji looked up at the sky and roared. His heart was in pain. She was blaming herself for her incompetence. If it was not for her, her parents would have lived a good life. Why did she come to this world?    

    

"Shen Ji, you have to persevere! I know how you are feeling right now. Your parents have used up their entire lives. They only want you to live safely. The dead are already gone. You should be more open-minded about things like life and death being irreparable! "    

    

Qi Zhuohao comforted her. Shen Ji's face turned pale. The blow she received was hard to imagine. The current Qi Zhuohao could only give Shen Ji words of comfort. How long would it take for Shen Ji to recover from her grief? Qi Zhuohao did not know.    

    

"Pffft..." Shen Ji groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. The resentment that she had accumulated for more than ten years dissipated in an instant. What replaced it was endless self-blame and sadness. She actually could not withstand this blow.    

    

Shen Ji looked strong on the surface but her heart was actually very fragile. It was the exact opposite of Nan Yudia. Seeing Shen Ji on the verge of collapse, Qi Zhuohao did not dare to neglect and quickly reached out and pulled Shen Ji into his embrace.    

    

Gently patting Shen Ji's back, Qi Zhuohao softly comforted, "Shen Ji, if you want to cry then cry out! Don't suppress it. In the past, you suffered too much loneliness. Now you are also enduring unprecedented sadness, but you have to believe it. From today onwards, I, Qi Zhuohao, will always be by your side. You will no longer be alone. Don't let your parents down. Be strong! "    

    

Finally, Qi Zhuohao's guidance made Shen Ji cry in her arms. Shen Ji's voice was filled with resentment and helplessness. Tears gradually soaked the clothes on Qi Zhuohao's chest.    

    

Unconsciously, Shen Ji's hands tightly hugged Qi Zhuohao. Qi Zhuohao's chest was so warm. She had never felt this kind of warmth before. The grief in her heart seemed to have been reduced by a lot at this moment.    

    

Qi Zhuohao was still gently patting Shen Ji's back. Shen Ji's face began to turn red. Seeing this, Qi Zhuohao finally felt relieved. It was good that she cried. Shen Ji had suffered too much. He must protect this girl!    

    

On the hill, Shen Ji's sad cry lasted for a long time. The sun was setting. Qi Zhuohao tightly hugged Shen Ji. She had actually fallen asleep. Qi Zhuohao had a look of regret on his face. He hoped that after Shen Ji woke up, she would be able to let go of the grief in her heart.    

    

He reached out and gently wiped Shen Ji's tears. Qi Zhuohao did not let go of Shen Ji and let her sleep soundly in his arms. At least at this time, Shen Ji was very calm and had temporarily forgotten about her parents.    

    

The next morning, a ray of light shone over. Shen Ji's long and curved eyelashes trembled slightly. She finally woke up.    

    

"It's dawn?" Shen Ji let go of the jade hand that was hugging Qi Zhuohao and stood up. She actually fell asleep and Qi Zhuohao actually hugged her for the whole night without moving at all. "Qi Zhuohao, thank you!"    

    

Shen Ji's face had already returned to normal. Qi Zhuohao knew that she slept very well. "You're welcome, Ji. The Thousand Stars Cave will close in two days. We have nothing to do. Why don't we go out?"    

    

Although Shen Ji's face was still cold, there was a trace of gentleness on it. She did not mention anything about her parents, so Qi Zhuohao naturally would not mention it. After this night, Shen Ji had already put down a lot of her worries. Time would wash away the grief in her heart and wipe away the bitterness in her heart.    

    

"Ji?" Shen Ji looked at Qi Zhuohao in surprise. This name had not been called by anyone for more than ten years.    

    

Qi Zhuohao smiled and nodded. He held Shen Ji's hand and said, "Ji, I want to protect you and give you warmth. Can you accept my request?"    

    

Shen Ji's personality was not like others. Qi Zhuohao had to seize the opportunity. Maybe Shen Ji would slip away in the next moment. After many interactions with Shen Ji, Qi Zhuohao had confirmed his feelings for Shen Ji. He was full of care, and that kind of care had exceeded the concern between friends. There was more affection between men and women.    

    

In other words, Qi Zhuohao liked Shen Ji. She wanted to protect Shen Ji. Among them, he felt pity for Shen Ji and Yao Qianyu had entrusted him to take care of Shen Ji. But most of the time, it was Shen Ji's indifferent coldness that attracted him. It made him intoxicated!    

    

"But, don't you have Nan Yudia?" Shen Ji was a little nervous and a little disappointed. She naturally understood. Qi Zhuohao was confessing to her. To be honest, she liked Qi Zhuohao. She really wanted to agree to Qi Zhuohao, but she couldn't.    

    

"I'm sorry, Qi Zhuohao. Let's just be friends!"    

    

Shen Ji sighed. The perfect love in her heart would not be shared with others. Qi Zhuohao had Nan Yudia's girlfriend, so he would not love her wholeheartedly. Instead of that, it was better to keep this pure feeling.    

    

"Ji, I just want to ask you, do you like me?" Qi Zhuohao did not stop. He was not a good man who only cared about love. Being on Earth, he could not even marry the most basic wife. When he came here, he had to feel the feeling of having three wives and four concubines no matter what. In Hongwu Continent, unlike Earth, a man could only marry one wife.    

    

Shen Ji fell into deep thought. Did she like Qi Zhuohao? The answer was yes. These days, she had been missing Qi Zhuohao all the time. Qi Zhuohao had also said that the person who saved her in Yuning Mountain was Qi Zhuohao. The worries in her heart had long dissipated.    

    

Shen Ji was very grateful to Qi Zhuohao for saving her so many times. Of course, it wasn't because Qi Zhuohao saved her that she wanted to marry him. Qi Zhuohao was the only man she had ever met. That feeling had long been imprinted in her heart. It was precisely because of that wonderful feeling that she unknowingly fell in love with Qi Zhuohao. Things like feelings were truly wonderful!    

    

"I admit that I like you, but..."    

    

Shen Ji's answer made Qi Zhuohao let go of all his worries. Without waiting for Shen Ji to continue, he pulled Shen Ji into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed Shen Ji's pink lips, feeling as if he had been electrocuted. It made Shen Ji and Qi Zhuohao feel a kind of numbness.    

    

Shen Ji instinctively wanted to push Qi Zhuohao away, but she did not know where her strength had gone. Her pair of lily-white hands gently pinched, and she could not move at all. Perhaps it was because she did not want to push Qi Zhuohao away in her heart. This feeling was so wonderful, so blissful!    

    

This kiss was very simple. Finally, Qi Zhuohao let go of Shen Ji. He also said, "Ji, don't mind so much. Since you like me, I also like you. Then we will be together. Yudia is a very good woman. She will understand us."    

    

In Hongwu Continent, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Qi Zhuohao had decided that no matter how many girlfriends he had in the future, she would love and protect them with her life.    

    

"Ji, be my girlfriend. As long as we have each other in our hearts, why should we care about other things?"    

    

As he spoke, Qi Zhuohao took out a note. He was proposing to Shen Ji. Of course, other people proposed with flowers or rings, but he, Qi Zhuohao, used one yuan to buy a bun on Earth.    

    

Shen Ji was completely stunned. Her fingers trembled as if she was struggling. What Qi Zhuohao said might be right. Her concept of love was too old-fashioned. As long as the two of them were in love, why would she care if Qi Zhuohao had a girlfriend or not? To be able to be with the person she loved and experience soreness and bitterness together. Wasn't that the most important thing?    

    

"Ji, it's good that you agree! Hur hur!" Actually, Shen Ji did not agree, but he did not say a word. Qi Zhuohao shamelessly said that and directly stuffed the note into Shen Ji's hands.    

    

At this time, Qi Zhuohao must be ruthless. Once Shen Ji refused, it would not end well. Many people who loved each other but did not get together in the end were not brave enough.    

    

Sure enough, when the note was in Shen Ji's hands, she did not return it to Qi Zhuohao. Seeing this, Qi Zhuohao was overjoyed and quickly took out the two Beast Ring.    

    

"Ji, these two Beast Ring are the token of love between the Sect Master and the madam back then. One for each of us!"    

    

Qi Zhuohao did not care what Shen Ji's expression was. He put a Beast Ring on Shen Ji's finger. Shen Ji accepted the ring and also accepted his' gift 'money. In this life, Shen Ji could only be his woman.    

    

"You captured Nan Yudia's heart so tyrannically?"    

    

Shen Ji actually smiled. Her smile was so charming. Qi Zhuohao was very happy in his heart. It was very likely that he was the only person who had seen Shen Ji's smiling face. He could not help but kiss Shen Ji's lips again.    

    

After a long time, the lips parted and Shen Ji's face turned red. She pouted and said, "Zhuohao, you have not answered my words. Speak. Do you really only have Nan Yudia as your girlfriend?"    

    

"Of course not! "Qi Zhuohao replied without thinking. His words made Shen Ji's face darken.    

    

"Ji, don't worry. I mean, I not only have Yudia now. And you! In the future, you have to get along well with Yudia. I believe that you can be the best sisters in the world! " Qi Zhuohao changed the topic and his tone was very serious.    

    

Shen Ji nodded slightly when she heard him. Since she had been 'forced' to agree to Qi Zhuohao, she would not go back on her word. As long as she stayed by Qi Zhuohao's side and accompanied him, that was enough. She would not fight with Nan Yudia for anything.    

    

Of course, Shen Ji was also a little worried. It seemed that she had been lured by Qi Zhuohao. She no longer cared about the matter of Qi Zhuohao having Nan Yudia as his girlfriend, but would Nan Yudia reject her? She did not know about this.    

    

Seeing Shen Ji nod her head, Qi Zhuohao was completely relieved. Now that he had obtained the heart of the ice beauty Shen Ji, he was very happy. As for the matter between him and Shen Ji, when the time was right, he would tell Nan Yudia clearly!    

    

"Ji, refine that Interspatial Ring. There is something that the Sect Master and the things that Madam left for you..."
