Chapter 985: Proposal (With appreciation for 'Ban Ni Yu Shengil's' generous support)
September 25, 2017
Lu Hai Kong's final stop was at a Militia Training Camp in Qiangyin, which was considered his old base of operations.
This particular training camp was of the second type.
The surrounding area was originally inhabited by people from Bingzhou, but because Qiangyin had been Lu Hai Kong's base for a long time, his reputation in this region was as high as the sun at noon.
Under these circumstances, even though the training camp before Lu Hai Kong was of the second category, the number of people in this camp was quite impressive, and the atmosphere was excellent.
Of course, the atmosphere of the training camp was not the focus at this time; the focus was on the person who caught Lu Hai Kong's attention.
This person was a boy around twelve or thirteen years old, with a delicate and fair appearance, looking very clean and not like someone who had been training for a long time.
However, this boy's talent was quite remarkable. Although he had not yet unlocked his military power due to not cultivating the Fundamental Internal Power, his Basic Saber Technique was astonishing, already reaching level twenty, and his Fundamental Archery was also around level ten.
At such a young age and not appearing to be a frequent martial arts practitioner, it was surprising to have such a level of skill. His talent was indeed remarkable.
But Lu Hai Kong's surprise was not because of the boy's talent; it was because the boy's eyebrows made him feel somewhat familiar, so Lu Hai Kong couldn't help but stare at him for a while.
As he looked at the boy, Lu Hai Kong tried to recall.
Strangely enough, with Lu Hai Kong's memory at this time, he should have been able to remember anything he saw without much effort, but he couldn't remember this boy even after thinking about it for half a day. Still, he always felt very familiar.
Lu Hai Kong racked his brains until he finally recognized the boy from his eyebrows.
This fair-skinned boy was none other than the little kid who lived at the foot of the mountain when Lu Hai Kong first arrived in this world and stayed at Wang Da Ma Zi's mountain fortress.
"It's actually this kid. I never thought that after so many years, this kid has grown up so much, and what I didn't expect even more is that after so many years, I would still be able to see him." Lu Hai Kong smiled as he recognized the fair-skinned boy.
At this moment, Princess San's teasing voice came from the side.
"I thought you were just a loli-con, but I didn't expect you to be so interested in shota too?"
"I met a little acquaintance!"
Lu Hai Kong paid no attention to Princess San's teasing and didn't respond. He simply explained and then took Princess San's hand and left.
"Are you leaving just like that? I thought that kid's talent seemed quite good, and he's a promising seedling. He's also your acquaintance, so don't you have any thoughts about him?" Princess San asked, puzzled.
"This is Qiangyin, right in the center of my power base. Whether it's the academy or recruitment, they will start here first. If this kid works hard, I will definitely see his talent sooner or later. Besides, what's the point of meeting that little brat? We rarely get to enjoy our time together, so of course, we should cherish our time as a couple."
Lu Hai Kong pulled Princess San and quickly left with her.
Of course, Lu Hai Kong's words sounded nice, but in the end, he would secretly give special treatment to the boy.
It was estimated that even before Lu Hai Kong returned to Beifeng City, the boy's information and recent experiences would be on his desk.
However, Lu Hai Kong did tell the truth about one thing: there was no point in meeting the boy today. Compared to the boy, Lu Hai Kong indeed valued the time he would spend with Princess San more, and he had a little idea today.
Holding Princess San's hand and riding on Little Luzi, Lu Hai Kong took Princess San towards Beifeng.
As they rode together, Princess San, nestled in Lu Hai Kong's embrace, could feel his heartbeat quickening.
These two had been together for half a year, living under the same roof, but their relationship had progressed slowly. After half a year, not only had they not taken their relationship to the next level, but even intimate gestures like hugs and cuddles were rare.
On this trip, Lu Hai Kong deliberately played a trick, having his horse sent back halfway so that he could ride with Princess San.
Princess San, for her part, just smiled at Lu Hai Kong's rare insistence on riding together but didn't say anything.
As for Lu Hai Kong, he had already perfected the art of having a thick skin. He held Princess San tightly and wouldn't let go, and they slowly made their way back to Beifeng.
As they returned, Lu HaiKong, holding Princess San, seemed more pensive than when they had left. He opened his mouth several times, only to swallow his words.
Princess San, sensing his hesitation, prompted, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Lu HaiKong's grip on her tightened, and he hesitated before whispering into her ear, "Well, that guy Xi Zhi Cai has been pestering me endlessly, both openly and secretly, for the past six months. Today, knowing I was with you, he even intercepted me halfway, insisting I seize the moment and take the next step."
"I didn't expect Xi Zhi Cai to be so sly behind that innocent face of his."
Princess San chuckled, recalling Xi Zhi Cai's persistent attempts to convince Lu HaiKong to take the relationship further.
"Yeah, he's never been this persistent about anything since he came here. But he doesn't look as sly as you'd think. When he urges me, he's all righteous, claiming it's for the sake of my future and lineage."
"Oh, so he's thinking of you, but you're not thinking of yourself? If he's in a hurry, why aren't you?" Princess San turned, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Lu HaiKong's voice rose in defense, "How could I not be? I'm more anxious than him!"
[A 16-19-year-old bookworm's first look at the error-free version!]
His tone softened as he held Princess San closer, his voice deepening, "I'm just being a bit sentimental and worried. I don't want you to think I'm marrying you because of your status or the Crimson Heaven Sword. That's why I've been unsure how to bring it up."
Princess San's body tensed at his words, and she turned, her face flushed with anger. "That's too much! Stop with the emotional manipulation. Who was it who said on our first meeting that I'd only marry you?"
Lu HaiKong's face lit up at her flushed cheeks, knowing that this approach might be more effective than his previous earnestness. He changed his tone, "Did I say that? You must be mistaken. How could I say something like that? I was smitten from the moment I first saw you. But, to be honest, no matter how you look at it, it seems like you were the one pursuing me..."
Before he could finish, his words were cut short by a blow to his stomach.
Princess San turned, her face flushed, and she waved her tiny fists at Lu HaiKong, "Watch your words! Remember who's proposing here. If I'm not happy, I might just say no."
Lu HaiKong's smile grew more relaxed, and he grabbed her hand firmly, "Who said I was proposing? My future father-in-law has already decided our marriage. I'm just discussing with you when we should have the wedding."
"Your future father-in-law? The one you split in two? Do you think his words still hold any weight?" Princess San wrenched her hand free, glaring at him.
"Of course they do! He's the Emperor, and his word is law. I'll accept whatever he says. You're my wife now. When we get back, I'll have Xi Zhi Cai make the preparations. We'll choose an auspicious day and get married. If you disagree, I'm a powerful warlord now, and I can just find a little fox..."
His words were interrupted again by a punch, and Princess San raised her tiny fist once more, "Propose properly, with the right attitude and manner!"
Lu HaiKong's face turned pale from the punch, but he suppressed the pain and held Princess San tighter, feigning ferocity, "My attitude is fine! You know I'm a former mountain bandit. If you don't agree, I'll take you by force and make you my camp commander's concubine!"
Princess San's face darkened, "How can you say that? Weren't you just worried I'd misunderstand you? You were so sentimental a moment ago, and that attitude was great!"
"Didn't you tear down that sentimental persona yourself? Why would I try to put it back together? In any case, just tell me, will you marry me or not?"
"I won't. I'm not happy with your proposal, so I won't marry you."
"Then what do you want? If it's not too much, I'll listen, but if it's too much, I'll just take you by force."
"It's simple. I won't use the Crimson Heaven Sword. If you can beat me in a fight, I'll marry you!"
