For Kwon Ji, this was the highest praise.
Too much talk about love can get tiresome.
Mutual appreciation is the best, most suitable, and most sustainable approach.
She spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice carrying a hint of coolness: "However, I am not a monarch."
Jun Chenlan lowered his eyes, his eyelashes drooping slightly like fans. His pale skin and silver-gray hair were tinged with an orange-red light under the setting sun, making him look as handsome as a god.
If it weren't for his bloodthirsty aura, which made him unappealing, no one would object to him being ranked as the most handsome man in the world; it would be enough to bewitch people.
His brows relaxed, and he said, "You are the only young lady in the entire Holy Glory and Holy Conferment. You are not a monarch, but you are above a monarch and on par with divine authority."
Quan Ji's lips curled into a smile, her beauty captivating all who beheld her.
"You have such a sweet tongue, I'll have to taste it sooner or later."
It took Jun Chenlan several seconds to process the implication of Quan Ji's words. He coughed lightly but didn't say anything more.
However, the base of her ears turned even redder.
Quan Ji had no intention of continuing to provoke him.
She casually said, "When my hair grows long enough to reach the ground, I will go to the Star Abyss Empire to propose marriage. Or if you have nowhere to go, you can come and stay here for a while to avoid trouble."
When her hair reached the ground, that was when the whole world had to submit to her.
Jun Chenlan hummed in agreement. "I'll wait for you."
He wasn't in a hurry and believed he could wait until that day.
Quan Ji's behavior today made him feel that she was trustworthy.
It's absolutely worth it.
Quan Ji asked, "When are you going back?"
Jun Chenlan paused for a moment, then said, "Two days later, not long... Xingyuan and the Diyan Empire will have a battle."
Warfare is one of the most direct relationships between empires.
War inevitably brings injuries and death.
Quan Ji looked at Jun Chenlan and recalled that it was the same in her previous life.
Jun Chenlan, wielding the invincible Star Abyss Emperor Sword, has never been defeated in battle, a true legend.
However, in his previous life, he was ambushed and had his right hand severed during a battle with the Di Yan Empire, which crippled him by half.
Quan Ji looked at Jun Chenlan's now intact right hand. Because he had been holding a sword for many years, many new and old calluses had formed. His palm was large, with distinct knuckles, and it was quite beautiful.
She grabbed Jun Chenlan's right hand and conjured a medal from her shoulder.
This was her trump card from her previous life: the Imperial Medal she received during her investiture.
She placed it in Jun Chenlan's palm. "Since you're going out to fight, take it with you. It will bring you good luck."
The deep blue medal is exquisitely crafted, with an unexpectedly warm and smooth texture.
Jun Chenlan looked at the medal in his palm, knowing it was very valuable, and suddenly a word came to mind—
A token of love.
He knew what a token of love was, and he knew that if they exchanged precious gifts, their marriage would last.
But he never had the habit of taking anything with him when he went out.
This is really frustrating.
Jun Chenlan searched himself for a long time, but couldn't find anything that girls would like.
His gaze finally settled on the Star Abyss Sword, a gift from the emperor, at his waist.
This sword has been with him since his first time on the battlefield, stained with the blood of countless people and conquering countless cities.
He nervously drew the Star Abyss Sword, knelt on one knee, offered it with both hands, and said with utmost sincerity.
"This sword has been with me in battle for many years and has never been defeated. Now I give it to you in exchange, and I hope it can bless you with unparalleled power and help you stand at the very top."
