Immortality? Nah, I choose to marry instead!

Chapter 24: My turn to be playful

On her regular days, Shao is generally a very cautious girl, but being haughty is one of her lapsing points, and Shenshah very well took advantage of this point.

She was caught off guard by Shenshah's bold move.

How dare a low-level cultivator touch her body?

But before she could express her dissatisfaction, two red lines suddenly came out of the ring that I had put on her finger and surrounded us.

Shou became vigilant.

Her sixth sense was screaming that the situation was not good, but as soon as she was about to jump away, she was dumbfounded. Both she and the boy in front of her seemed to have their movements locked. It was like they were under a high-level static spell.

Only her mouth and eyes could move.

She looked at me, and I looked at her.

Seeing me smiling so wryly, she lost her cool.

"Bastard, what did you do to me?"

"Hurry and lift this spell!"

Her tone was filled with panic. Like all normal people, she too was scared of the unknown.

I didn't care what happenedFor the timing, I knew my life was safe.

Under our watchful eyes, one of the red lines entered inside me while the other entered her.

As soon as those red lines entered our bodies, we heard a clicking sound.I swear the feeling was as if two distant connections were successfully connected.

Finally, after a few secondsthe red lines along with the ring on her finger disappeared, and a small leaf mark appeared on both of our palms.

The entire process hardly took ten seconds.

Shao, who realised she could now move, hurriedly backed off and glared at me.

Her mind was too preoccupied with anger to think anything straight.

Since her childhood, no boy has ever touched her but this boy.her pride was hurt.

"Today, no one can save you from me!"

She spoke loudly before throwing out a magic dagger which she swiftly took out from her spatial bag hanging by the side of her waist.

'Damm!'

I knew I couldn't block this attack. The trajectory and speed of the dagger were beyond perfect.

Looking at the sharp dagger which was only millimetres away from my heart, I could only helplessly close my eyes.For one last time, I wanted to remember the faces of my lovable wives: Saharika and Xenia, who supported me in this short yet sweet second life.

Just when the dagger was about to pierce Shenshah's skin, Shao felt a big pain in her heart.

It was like her world would fall crashing down..like her life would lose all its meaning and she might lose something very important if the boy in front of her lost his life.

This feeling which came out of nowhere, was too intense for her to ignore. Her legs, her arms, moved out of instinct as she instantly teleported and caught the sharp dagger in her palm.

I, who was waiting for death, smelled a fragrant Jasmine-like smell slowly drifting into my nostrils.

Little by little, I opened my eyes and saw the smooth neck of the woman who was so close to mein her hands was the sharp dagger which should have taken my life.

Perhaps, being aware of my gaze, Shao hastily stepped away.

Her eyes contained so many emotions.

She recalled that everything started when Shenshah put this ring on her.

Shao seemed to have realised something.

To confirm her thoughts, she punched me with all her might.

From the momentum, I could tell that she didn't hold back in the slightest.

With my strength, it was impossible to dodge her~

But for some reason, the punch too stopped midway.

Shao's eyebrows furrowed,

"Damn it! It's the same feeling that I got earlier."

"What's wrong with me? Why do I feel I can't afford to lose you!"

She closed her eyes, trying to examine every single detail in her body.. but in the end, she couldn't figure out anything. From the self-examination, it was clear that both her mind and body were fine but she knew they were not right, otherwise, Why was she feeling like this towards Shenshah?

By now, from the words that came out of her mouth I knew, for some reason she was not able to kill me.

While Shao was lost trying to examine what was wrong with her, I too was taken aback.

At the time which I expected the least, I heard the system's notification.

[Redeeming condition for Water of eternal dependence (60% achieved): 6 bottles are unlocked and automatically kept in system space until the host wants to take them out.]

My breathing almost became stagnant as I accidentally clicked my tongue.

'Fuckk!'

'Wait, it's only now I realised it. This ring seemed to be called: Engagement Ring of a thousand miles.'

'What comes before a marriage? Of course it's an engagement!'

'The condition for unlocking the Water of eternal dependence is to have a marriage bond with a female whose cultivation base is at least a thousand times more than mine!'

'There is only one plausible explanation..for some reason, the red lines created by this ring that forcefully connected me and that rabbit girl together seemed to have touched the holiness a marriage bond should have!'

I smiled as I finally realised what was wrong.

Shao repeatedly examined the leaf mark on her left palm but couldn't figure out anything.

She breathed heavily as her eyes stared deeply at me.

"It's because of that ring, right?"

"Bastard, Where did you get that ring?"

"It contains some supreme laws which I can't even touch."

Her chest was heaving violently.

"No, just tell me who made this perverted stuff and we will go to him to get it removed!"

"Well, it was made by some mad Goldsmith. I just found it randomly", I chuckled, it was my turn to be playful.

All the worries on my face had long disappeared the moment I knew she could never harm me.
