destiny eternal calamity

Chapter 40 Showdown

Li Wei composed himself and tried hard not to look at the magnificent scenery.

"Your Highness, although it may seem ungrateful of me, I still wish to ask, why did you... seduce me?"

Long Bilin looked at the boy standing on the shore with his eyes wandering, and her expression suddenly became serious.

The fact that she did this today means she's no longer planning to keep it a secret.

She originally intended to keep the prophecy a secret and treat Li Weihao the same way as before, slowly seeking to deepen their relationship.

But she gradually discovered that this guy valued the relationship more than personal gain.

Aunt Ying was the guard she sent. Logically, Li Wei should be grateful to her, not Aunt Ying, but she could clearly sense that feelings had developed between the two.

Just now, I saw that Li Wei was wearing the Xiao family's heirloom engagement ring. This thing is the Xiao family's most precious treasure. When I was a child, I asked Aunt Ying for it, but she wouldn't give it to me, saying that she was going to give it to my future husband.

Then there's Zhao Yuqing, the celestial maiden Li Wei brought back today. The two have only known each other for a few days, but Long Bilin already feels that Li Wei is closer to Zhao Yuqing than to herself.

If things continue like this, how can I develop a deeper bond with him?

Once this man is surrounded by other women, will there still be a place for him?

Therefore, Long Bilin decided to be honest and go straight to the point.

She didn't know which Li Wei it was before, so she didn't dare to test it, for fear of changing the prophecy.

But now, she feels that if she doesn't take the initiative, the prophecy will not come true.

She had witnessed Li Wei's talent in martial arts and his ability to govern the country. If she and he were only in a superior-subordinate relationship, would he really help her to reach that position?

Why didn't he go and sit in that seat himself?

Long Bilin became increasingly anxious as she thought about it, which led to everything that is happening now.

"Li Wei, do you believe in fate?"

Long Bilin sat down against a rock by the pool, crossed her arms over her chest, and crossed one of her long, white, ivory-like legs, saying...

"Destiny?" Li Wei looked at Long Bilin in confusion.

"Yes, you are my chosen one!" Then Long Bilin told her about the prophecy her mother had obtained from the royal family.

"How does Your Highness know that I am not merely a subordinate, but will become Your Highness's future husband?"

Li Wei felt that this woman's thought process was a bit strange.

This prophecy is quite vague, isn't it? The gender and age of Li Wei in the verses are not revealed, so why did Long Bilin take him as her future husband?

"It's very simple, because I don't believe in the reliability of the relationship between subjects."

"If you are an elder or a woman, I will use you, but I will also be wary of you. If you are a man and meet my expectations, I will marry you."

"I am confident that with my beauty, our relationship will be unbreakable."

"So Your Highness has remained celibate and unmarried because of just one possibility?"

Looking at the stunning beauty before him, Li Wei seemed to be seeing her in a new light.

"Of course, and facts have proven that I was right. You might ask yourself, if I were married now, or had a male favorite, would you still wholeheartedly assist me?"

"Don't tell me you have no feelings for me, or that you don't care about a woman's past," Long Bilin said with a slightly mocking expression.

Li Wei admitted that Long Bilin was right.

He may have come to the princess's mansion at first just to survive, but after meeting Long Bilin and feeling her special treatment of him, a seed called possessiveness was planted deep in his heart.

He had to admire this woman's extreme rationality and iron will.

"I greatly admire Your Highness's foresight and strategic thinking, but all of this is predicated on the prophecy being true."

Li Wei said calmly.

In his previous life, he had come into contact with the theory of chaos, so he believed that in such a vast system as the world, even in the extraordinary world, prophecy was impossible.

According to his observations, most things in this world still follow basic scientific theories, except for the addition of extraordinary powers such as martial arts and demons.

People don't believe things they haven't seen before. Even though Li Wei was already a Qi Sea martial artist, he was still deeply influenced by the scientific theories from his previous life.

"Regardless of whether the prophecy is true or not, now that I have chosen you, I will not change my mind. Otherwise, what difference would I make from a promiscuous woman who sleeps with anyone?"

"Besides, you've already seen my body. If you don't agree, I'll have no choice but to..."

Long Bilin spoke threatening words in a seductive tone.

Li Wei smiled wryly, thinking to himself, "Women are indeed unreasonable."

"I will not speak falsely; Your Highness is indeed a rare beauty, and I believe no man could resist you."

"But I feel that Your Highness is currently lusting after me without any real feelings. I'm a rather sentimental person. If my woman and I only have a relationship based on mutual benefit, without any genuine emotions, although I won't treat her with the same mutual benefit, I will still feel uncomfortable."

"Moreover, Your Highness is a princess, and in the future you will rule the world. How can you accept that your husband has other women? Putting aside other women, Aunt Ying and I are already in love, and I will not give her up."

Li Wei's words were truly heartfelt.

He didn't want to be a hypocrite. Now that he had come to this extraordinary world, he naturally had the intention of having multiple wives and concubines.

But he wasn't the kind of person who was all desire and no feelings; he didn't really want a woman he didn't have much affection for.

The last sentence is the root of his hesitation towards Long Bilin.

Xiao Shuying is Long Bilin's maternal aunt. Long Bilin is a princess. Even if she can accept that he has other women, can she accept sharing a husband with Aunt Ying?

Hearing his words, Long Bilin gained a deeper understanding of Li Wei.

There is no doubt that he is a womanizer, but he is also a man of great principles.

Faced with such blatant temptation, he was able to refuse because he might not be able to tolerate Xiao Shuying.

But since Long Bilin chose to confront him, she must have taken this into consideration.

If she truly wanted to possess Li Wei exclusively, she wouldn't have used a straightforward approach; instead, she would have tried to eliminate her rivals.

Why do you think I can't tolerate other women?

"You should know that I am also a newcomer; Lin Peiyao is your rightful fiancée."

"As long as you wholeheartedly assist me, I will naturally tolerate all your reasonable hobbies."

"As for Aunt Ying, you should be thinking about how to persuade her to accept me, instead of worrying that I won't accept her."

Long Bilin said with amusement.

Ah, this...

Li Wei was indeed impressed by Long Bilin's tolerance; she truly was a woman who aspired to achieve imperial power.

Before they've even established a relationship, why does this woman inexplicably feel like she's the rightful wife?

"Okay, get down now."

Long Bilin disregarded the fact that her body was exposed, walked out of the hot spring with her body still wet, and stood in front of him with her two white, jade-like arms outstretched.

With nimble fingers flying up and down, she quickly unbuttoned Li Wei's clothes.

Then she grabbed him, pulled him backward, and the two of them fell into the hot spring together.
