Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chen Jie heard the words but did not speak. The Ruyang King did not pressure Chen Jie, knowing that such a man cannot be forced. If he could easily compromise, he wouldn’t have come this far. But some things, although he knows Chen Jiusi cannot listen, cannot be left without action.

So, after saying this, the Ruyang King didn’t wait for Chen Jie’s reaction and immediately spoke: ”Chen Jiusi.”

”Yes!”

Chen Jie looked at the Ruyang King, who said: ”Do you know why I called you here today?”

Chen Jie looked at the Ruyang King and shook his head.

The Ruyang King said: ”My daughter, Cha Han, is being married off, but not sold. You’ve given our Yaya a heavy gift, allowing her to earn a million taels of silver annually, while my Ruyang Royal Mansion does not have your wealth, having given her only 800,000 taels as dowry.”

Chen Jie said: ”Prince, such generosity, I thank you, Prince!”

Upon hearing this, the Ruyang King said: ”Ha ha, are you mocking me? Let me tell you, I won’t fall short by a single cent. If my dowry isn’t as substantial as yours, am I still marrying off my daughter?”

”That would be selling my daughter. Let me tell you, I won’t fall short by a single cent.”

Saying this, the Ruyang King picked up a red sandalwood box from the table beside him and handed it to Chen Jie with one hand: ”Open it, let’s see if it matches your betrothal gift.”

Chen Jie looked at the box handed over by the Ruyang King and furrowed his brows slightly, wondering what was inside this box that could make the Ruyang King so confident it equaled his yearly asset of producing a million taels of silver coins.

Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at the Ruyang King.

The Ruyang King said: ”Open it.”

Chen Jie then slowly opened the red sandalwood box, and the next moment, a golden light directly shot out. Seeing this golden light, Chen Jie’s eyes immediately squinted, and his face was filled with astonishment.

The Ruyang King, with a hint of a satisfied smile on his face, said: ”Do you recognize this item?”

Chen Jie remained silent, while Zhao Ya curiously walked over to look at the item in the box. It’s an oval-shaped object about the size of an apricot, emitting golden light and appearing dazzling.

Zhao Ya curiously reached out her hand to take it, her expression turning serious, because she could feel an aura from this item unlike typical jewelry.

Zhao Ya suddenly froze, looking at Chen Jie, and asked: ”This, what is this?”

”Jewelry?”

At this time, Chen Jie took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said: ”Dao Fruit!”

”What!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya was completely shocked, and her hand trembled, causing the Dao Fruit to almost fall to the ground.

However, she managed to clutch it tightly.

Dao Fruit, this is Dao Fruit, the object coveted by all martial artists, even top-level Earthly Immortals on the Heavenly List strive for it?

This is the Innate Dao Fruit that can enhance a martial artist’s strength!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya looked at her father, surprised: ”Is this for my husband?”

The Ruyang King said: ”Since it’s out of the box, do you expect me to take it back?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya immediately said: ”Thank you, Father.”

”Husband, shouldn’t you quickly thank Father!”

Zhao Ya truly follows the saying of marrying a chicken, follow the chicken, marrying a dog, follow the dog. Just married, she’s already siding with her husband, with no psychological burden in inconveniencing her own father.

The Ruyang King glanced at her, shaking his head helplessly: ”Once married, a daughter is like spilled water!”

But Chen Jie, at this time, took the Dao Fruit which could stir the entire world from Zhao Ya’s hand and placed it back in the box, then set it in front of the Ruyang King.

The Ruyang King was taken aback and asked: ”What do you mean? You dislike my gift?”

Chen Jie said: ”Prince, this item is more valuable than the betrothal gift I gave; although Jiusi likes this treasure, I cannot accept such a generous gift without earning it, it weighs heavily on my conscience.”

Upon hearing this, the Ruyang King coldly said: ”Hmph, you still have a conscience? My daughter, worth a hundred times more than this item, has been snatched away by you, and now you find a mere Dao Fruit invaluable. If you truly cared for your reputation, you shouldn’t have pursued my daughter!”

”Now that you’ve tricked my daughter into marrying you, you tell me you’re embarrassed. It’s infuriating!”

The Ruyang King burned with anger, looking at Chen Jie with quite frosty eyes, feeling that his most precious daughter was stolen by him, and now he speaks of an invaluable Dao Fruit.

The Dao Fruit is precious, but before his daughter, it is worthless!

Thinking of this, the Ruyang King looked at Chen Jiusi and said: ”Had Yaya not been present, I’d feel like giving you a beating!”

Saying this, the Ruyang King looked at Chen Jie and said: ”Fine, this Dao Fruit is yours, keep it for yourself.”

Chen Jie heard and looked at the Ruyang King, saying: ”Prince, this...”

The Ruyang King said: ”You’re a lucky fellow. This Dao Fruit I risked my life to obtain. If there were two, I’d advance to Second Turn directly, but unfortunately, only managed to get one, unable to upgrade; so you keep it.”

Chen Jie was still somewhat lost in thought when Zhao Ya already came up and nudged him: ”Quickly accept it.”

Chen Jie did not move, while Zhao Ya was already eager, directly kneeling and saying: ”Thank you, Father. I’ll take it on behalf of my husband.”

Chen Jie heard and looked at Zhao Ya, while Zhao Ya looked at him: ”Why look at me? Don’t you want to accept my father’s favor?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately said: ”No, I can’t!”

Chen Jie came to his senses and said: ”Thank you, Father-in-law.”

The Ruyang King did not say much but said: ”Alright, do you have anything else? If not, you may leave.”
