Special Expert of Beauty CEO

”My father was the illegitimate son of the branch leader of the Murong Family in the East State. Later, my father got involved in a dynastic struggle and was killed. Murong Bei, my father’s slave, took me and fled, transporting us to Earth...”

”So, I really do belong to the Spiritual Domain. Ever since I started cultivating immortality, I’ve also seen my own talent.”

”Later, I was transported to the Murong Mansion in the East State. The people of the Murong Family captured me. They discovered my surname was Murong and interrogated me about who I was. They already knew my name. Once they learned that my grandfather was Murong Bei, they confirmed it—I was indeed my father’s only daughter. Thus, I became a noble of the Murong Family. My grandmother really cared for me...”

”I have a master with advanced cultivation, and experts from the Imperial City occasionally guide me. Coupled with endless Cultivation Immortality Resources and my not-so-weak talent, my cultivation soared rapidly, even to the point where the people of the Murong Family found it somewhat unbelievable...”

Murong Fei slowly recounted this part of her experience, feeling both content and worried: ”In the Murong Family, others are indifferent to me, but my grandmother treats me very well. Because of her, no one dares to look down on me for being an illegitimate child’s daughter. But my grandmother is quite old and not obsessed with cultivation, so she feels like there’s not much time left... I feel like once my grandmother is gone, I might in the Murong Family...”

As the daughter of an illegitimate child, Qin Tian could imagine the awkward situation such an identity would face in the Spiritual Domain World. He said seriously, ”If your grandmother passes and the Murong family looks down on you, just sever ties with them. We’ll be together.”

”No, Qin Tian, this Spiritual Domain World is completely different from Earth.”

Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian and shook her head: ”In this world, the strength or weakness of power, the nobility or baseness of one’s status, matters too much. Those weak in power and low in status have no voice at all.”

Speaking, Murong Fei gazed at Qin Tian: ”For example, perhaps due to my appearance, since returning to the Murong Family, many of my uncles have been eyeing me, wanting to use me to arrange a marriage with princes from other royal families to consolidate the position of the East State branch of the Murong Family in the Imperial City.”

”If not for my grandmother’s respect and strong opposition, I might have already been married off... This is this world. Even if I am a noble, I do not have the right to freely choose marriage. It makes me think of those women under feudal dynasties in our history books...”

”Alas, it seems I am no different from them.”

Qin Tian got furious from hearing that: ”If you don’t have a choice, then just leave home and cut all ties with them.”

”No way.”

Murong Fei denied, saying: ”The Murong Family manages their members very strictly. If you run away, they will not only remove you from the family registry but also send people to capture you. Once caught, you’d either be imprisoned for life or die. They do not allow royal bloodlines to flow out.”

Qin Tian was stunned. The royal family, so domineering?

Thinking it over, he felt quite helpless.

With Murong Fei’s level of cultivation, although it seemed strong, she was definitely not a super expert within the family. If pursued by her kin, given the powerful network of the Murong Family, there would be no escape.

And what about himself?

Reflecting on himself, Qin Tian felt even more awkward. Right now, he couldn’t even match Murong Fei’s cultivation level. To protect her... he feared it might be impossible...

Exhale!

Qin Tian took a deep breath and glanced at Murong Fei, both falling into silence.

After a long while, Qin Tian said with determination: ”No matter what, Murong, I will be with you. I won’t let anyone bully you, I swear!”

”I know.”

Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian with gentle eyes: ”I know you will protect me, just like you did in Jiang State and Beijing. But now, I need you to improve your cultivation and strength. I dream of the day you can openly marry me in the Spiritual Domain, with no one daring to oppose us...”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian swallowed: ”You’re a royal; if I marry you, wouldn’t I have to become royalty too?”

”Yes.”

Murong Fei nodded and said: ”However, one can be ennobled into royalty. Previously, there were two royal families, which gradually became four, and later six. Qin Tian, I am not saying you absolutely have to become royalty; it’s basically impossible. But you can improve your cultivation. At the graduation ceremony four years from now, as long as you stand out in strength, you may get noticed by royalty. Then, have your master propose the marriage, and I’ll pressure the family. We can definitely be together.”

”...”

Hearing Murong Fei’s words, Qin Tian felt very sad.

For him and Murong Fei to get married, he’d have to take this approach? He’d have to ask for somebody’s help?

He clenched his fists, but facing Murong Fei’s hopeful gaze, he didn’t deny her idea but nodded: ”Alright.”

Though saying so, internally, Qin Tian was shouting, I will not beg anyone! I will decide for myself to marry the woman I love! Just wait!

”Murong, can you wait for me for four years?” Qin Tian looked at Murong Fei.

Murong Fei said firmly: ”As long as my grandmother is around for these four years, I will definitely wait for you four years.”

”Alright, then we agree, four years later, I’ll marry you!”

”I’ll wait for you to marry me.”

Their eyes met, Murong Fei firmly expressed, but internally was very worried. Four years—could Qin Tian become powerful enough for a royal master to propose to him? Would any royal even fancy Qin Tian?

All these matters are unknowns, but there is no other way. She can only wait.

Murong Fei took a silver hairpin from her head and placed it in Qin Tian’s hand: ”When you miss me, look at this. Qin Tian, remember, in my heart, there’s only you. However, given our current disparate identities, there might be times when I pretend not to know you to avoid causing you trouble.”

Hearing this, Qin Tian’s heart tightened, and he tightly held Murong Fei’s hand.

Since when did I need my own woman to protect me?

How pathetic!

But he also understood now, it seemed Nangong Bingfeng had an interest in Murong Fei, and Nangong Bingfeng had the backing of the City Lord’s Mansion—a force he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend!

”I know what to do; just protect yourself. Also, keep your distance from other men.” Qin Tian said.

”Pig, are you jealous?” Murong Fei asked softly, with a faint smile.

”Of course, how could I not be? You’re so beautiful, many are eyeing you... Ah, just wait, one day, I’ll make those men who dare to even think inappropriately about you know once they realize you’re my woman, that they wouldn’t even dare have any inappropriate thoughts!”

”Alright, I’ll wait for that day,” Murong Fei’s beautiful eyes blinked, ”For my whole life, I’ll marry only you. If not for you, I prefer to die.”
