Chapter 1843: Chapter 1841: Will Liu Rumei Accept Ye Tianchen’s Proposal?

Ye Tianchen knew, regarding the true worldview of this universe, his identity as a martial artist, he would sooner or later have to reveal to his family and friends, especially his parents and sister. For Ye Tianchen, this was a necessary task, one that had to be done sooner or later. Since his father Ye Hong was truly angry this time, and had reached the point where he had to resolve his marriage issue, he might as well reveal this correct worldview to them. No matter how his parents choose or react, Ye Tianchen would accept it!

The first person Ye Tianchen chose to reveal his identity to was Liu Rumei. This seemed coincidental, but Ye Tianchen had given it considerable thought. His considerations were based on two points: Firstly, Liu Rumei’s feelings for him were undeniable; Secondly, Liu Rumei, after all, was young and an extraordinarily intelligent beauty. Moreover, Yong Chun Tai had protected Liu Rumei since childhood, giving her a different perspective than ordinary people. In a certain sense, Liu Rumei was more capable of accepting his identity, which is why Ye Tianchen chose to reveal his identity to her first.

Ye Tianchen was not surprised by Liu Rumei’s bewildered look as if she were staring at an alien. Nor was he surprised by her succession of questions because although Liu Rumei was intelligent, with a broad perspective, to accept his identity without the slightest doubt or skepticism was not something that could be achieved immediately. The main issue was that it was psychologically overwhelming, and Ye Tianchen needed to patiently offer explanations!

”Your ability to raise this question shows that your perspective is broader than most!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

”Of course, did you think I was just a pretty face? I am not a girl willing to be just a decoration.” Liu Rumei said grandly.

”This world is one of martial artists; those who control the world are indeed these martial artists. Those who truly reach the Martial Arts Peak possess powers that connect heaven and earth, controlling the universe. Superpower Users emerged from millions of years of evolution as another power branch; it’s not to say they aren’t formidable, nor that top Superpower Users can’t defeat martial artists. However, this world is primarily dominated by martial artists, and that is an undeniable fact!” Ye Tianchen explained.

”So that’s how it is. The main setting is a martial artist’s world, with different civilizations emerging over millions of years, right?” Liu Rumei asked.

”Yes, your mind is quite sharp!” Ye Tianchen smiled and nodded.

”Certainly. When you flew and summoned the dishes and drinks with your mind earlier, those were Martial Arts Divine Powers, right?” Liu Rumei continued to ask.

”Yes, but that doesn’t quite classify as Martial Arts Divine Powers. It’s merely an application of Martial Arts Power. True Martial Arts Divine Powers can reach up to the heavens and stomp down to Hell.” Ye Tianchen smiled as he explained.

Liu Rumei nodded, acknowledging her strong acceptance capability. Although initially she was extremely puzzled and stunned, she soon engaged in Ye Tianchen’s explanations. Rather than feeling it odd, she was highly curious and even wished to learn some Martial Arts Divine Skills. This left Ye Tianchen uncertain whether to feel delighted or vexed, realizing that Liu Rumei wasn’t easily fooled. If this extraordinary beauty from the Mortal World were to become a martial artist and enter the Martial Arts World, she would surely be akin to a Fairy. But if Liu Rumei truly became a martial artist, what stories would she create in the Martial Arts World?

”Is this the reason you haven’t been in the Mortal World these years? Have you entered the Ancient Martial World? Cultivating and battling there, is this also the reason you haven’t married all this while?” Liu Rumei astutely deduced.

”Women who are too intelligent are dangerous, especially when they are also beautiful!” Ye Tianchen jested.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Liu Rumei cast him a slight, playful glare: ”Are you belittling me or praising me? Are you saying I’m beautiful or smart?”

”Both, both, haha!” Ye Tianchen replied with a laugh.

Liu Rumei glanced at Ye Tianchen. For a woman so perceptive, many thoughts flashed across her mind: No wonder Ye Tianchen hadn’t been domestically present over the years, hadn’t married, hadn’t openly confessed love to any girl. He clearly knew his mission, his goals, and essentially didn’t wish to burden others. Ye Tianchen hadn’t shared his martial artist identity with close friends and family, as that might not bring any benefit to them. Everyone has their own life, and his world isn’t necessarily one they wish to enter.

”When you left the Mortal World back then, gathered those close female friends, and explained all this, was it done deliberately? Because you knew what you had to do. According to you, the Martial Arts World is truly a realm of bloodshed and slaughter. You didn’t want others to mourn or grieve for you, which is why you chose to bear it alone.” Liu Rumei remarked with some emotion in her eyes.

”Haha, don’t think I’m that noble. I’m not quite that virtuous. I just feared you couldn’t accept and believe it!” Ye Tianchen chuckled and shook his head.

”Are you planning to tell Uncle and Aunt about these matters?” Liu Rumei asked.

”Yes, I’ve decided to tell them, and the first person I chose to inform was you!” Ye Tianchen nodded, looking seriously at Liu Rumei.

Liu Rumei was momentarily taken aback, and with a smile, she asked: ”Did you have an agenda in choosing me to be the first to know?”

”Ah, I said it, smart women, especially beautiful smart women, are very dangerous. So let me tell you directly: I want to get married, I want to marry you!” Ye Tianchen pretended to sigh deeply, then earnestly gazed at Liu Rumei and stated.

Liu Rumei hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to say such direct words to her. Was this a proposal? A declaration of love? It left Liu Rumei at a loss, particularly because she felt Ye Tianchen lacked emotional intelligence; such straightforward interactions in male-female relationships almost never succeed. Even if a girl harbors affection for a boy, she typically wouldn’t immediately agree, preserving her demure.

”You... you want to marry me? You... do you think I’ll agree?” Liu Rumei asked in return.

Ye Tianchen, upon seeing Liu Rumei’s reaction, felt somewhat disappointed and shook his head: ”I don’t know, I hope you’ll agree, yet hope you won’t. I’m conflicted too!”

”Why?” Liu Rumei pressed further.

”If you agree, I’ll marry you, but I’ll leave the Mortal World sooner or later, it’s inevitable. At my level, I can no longer live for another person. I’ll enter the Ancient Martial World and fight in the Martial Arts World, war means bloodshed and sacrifice. I don’t know if I’ll survive through battle after battle. You would face loneliness, possibly widowhood, and that’s why I don’t wish for you to agree.” Ye Tianchen explained to Liu Rumei.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Liu Rumei truly was dumbfounded. She hadn’t anticipated Ye Tianchen would reveal everything so candidly, which left her at a loss for what to do!

Seeing Liu Rumei’s stunned silence, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but smile slightly, then said: ”Honestly, I have no other choice; if I were to find someone to marry, she must be someone I like and my parents approve of, without letting them suspect I’m merely deceiving them. That choice is none other than you!”

”Do you think I’ll agree?” Liu Rumei asked yet again.

”I truly don’t know; how about this: take your time to consider. I plan to soon tell my parents what I’ve told you. I don’t know how they’ll react, what choices they’ll make. I don’t want to ruin your life either!” Ye Tianchen spoke earnestly.

”Don’t you think you’ve already affected my life? You’ve harmed me for ten years; do you care about a lifetime?” Liu Rumei replied with a playful grudge.

”Sorry, I genuinely don’t know what to do; it’s late, let’s get some rest early!” Ye Tianchen sighed and said.

Ye Tianchen, to avoid awkwardness and making Liu Rumei uncomfortable, left after speaking, all along pondering how to inform his parents and sister about these matters? How might they react?

Honestly, if someone were to suggest marriage to Ye Tianchen, the only candidate he could think of would be Liu Rumei. Over the years, past female friends might have already married and started families; Ye Tianchen couldn’t seek them out. They already had their lives, their happiest states. If he pursued them, it would mean destruction, not something Ye Tianchen would engage in!

Through the years, only Liu Rumei continuously supported him, remained by his side. If he were to marry, she would be the first choice. Yet, if Liu Rumei refused, what would Ye Tianchen do? He couldn’t just recklessly harm other girls, it wasn’t something he could do. (To be continued.
