Chapter 1827: Chapter 1826: The Promise

"Are you trying to get me pregnant?"

Hearing this, Qin Yitian’s words were akin to a woman saying to a man, "Are you going to make my stomach big?"

This made Lin Dong incredibly awkward. He coughed lightly and said, "Miss Yitian, stop joking. I know our marriage is all just for show."

"You brought me into this to reject Ye Long’s proposal."

Lin Dong was a smart man, and naturally, he understood that with the short time of their acquaintance, Qin Yitian couldn’t possibly have fallen for him.

It was merely to reject Ye Long’s proposal!

Qin Yitian covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Dong Lin, you really are quite clever."

"Of course. When I was in the Alliance Leader’s Reception Room earlier, I saw the hint you gave me, and I understood everything. That’s why I agreed." Lin Dong shrugged.

Qin Yitian laughed and said, "All right, since it’s all been laid out, let me explain the details of this matter."

"We’ll set the engagement like this. As for the marriage, it’ll happen three months later. We don’t have much choice but to marry. However, we’ll just be a married couple in name only."

"I still can’t accept being with someone I don’t love. Of course, if you can manage to make me fall in love with you within three months, I wouldn’t mind turning our fake relationship into a real one."

Lin Dong nodded, having no issue at all with the arrangement of a fake marriage.

With his hidden identity, he planned to stay in Southborne for only two months anyway. How could he genuinely become Qin Yitian’s husband?

In fact, the marriage might not even happen.

"Fine, I agree to your arrangement," Lin Dong said.

After the two reached this agreement, Qin Yitian also let out a sigh of relief, though she spoke with a trace of guilt:

"Dong Lin, this arrangement is quite unfair to you. After all, you’re agreeing to marry me because of me."

"But now, I’m demanding that you not do anything to me."

"For a man, this is certainly unfair."

"How about this? I’ll allow you to have other women outside. If you need, I can even arrange some beautiful women for you so you can enjoy yourself."

Lin Dong almost spat out a mouthful of water, glaring at her as he said, "Do you take me for some kind of animal driven solely by primal instincts?"

"Let me tell you, I’m not that desperate. Even if I were, would I really dare touch other women? If your brother found out, he’d slaughter me! Who dares to insult his sister?"

"True. If anything happened between you and another woman here in Southborne, relying on my brother’s information network, it wouldn’t take long for him to find out. Then you’d indeed be in trouble." Qin Yitian stuck out her tongue, her expression toward Lin Dong growing more apologetic.

"But what then? After our marriage, you can’t possibly remain... restrained forever, can you? That might lead to some issues."

Lin Dong chuckled bitterly and waved her off, saying, "Relax. You don’t need to concern yourself with that."

"But it’s quite important..." Qin Yitian said, then suddenly, half-jokingly, added while covering her mouth with a giggle, "If you’re truly unable to hold back, I could help you... but only..."

At this point, she appeared shy and hesitated to continue.

Lin Dong stopped her and shifted the topic, saying, "Instead of worrying about that, you’d better concern yourself with the resentment I’ll face from your suitors after we’re engaged."

"You’re so beautiful. People privately call you Southborne’s number one beauty. And with such a distinguished identity as the younger sister of Qin Feng, the Dan Alliance leader, you’re the kind of woman who, here in Southborne, has suitors and admirers lining up all the way to Dragon Country."

"Now that these suitors hear we’re engaged, I bet they’d all wish to tear me apart."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yitian frowned once again.

She nodded and said, "You’re right. Just look at Ye Long; he won’t let this go easily."

"I can see he’s already holding a grudge against you."

"You’d better not go out whenever possible. Even if you must leave, let me accompany you and have my brother assign experts to guard you; otherwise, those people might come to assassinate you."

Staying inside was not an option for Lin Dong, of course. How could he settle in Dan Alliance during his time in Southborne?

He still needed to improve his strength.

While cultivating inside Dan Alliance could help, his Devouring Technique and the cultivation methods of the Nine Shifts Longevity required him not to remain in one place.

He needed to go out and absorb others’ inner qi and gather heavenly and earthly treasures!

However, Qin Yitian was not wrong. Here in Southborne, organizations like Ye Men were nothing like the rule-abiding factions back home.

Even with the protection of Qin Feng and Dan Alliance, outside the alliance, these people would still attempt an assassination!

These people did not fear offending Qin Feng, and they certainly did not follow any rules.

"Dong Lin, our engagement is a favor I owe you. Rest assured, I won’t allow Ye Long or anyone else to harm you. I’ll protect you."

"Moreover, I’ll secure resources for you so that your strength can quickly improve," Qin Yitian said to Lin Dong at that moment.

Lin Dong laughed and replied, "There’s no such thing as owing me anything. Honestly, I was just teasing you earlier. I don’t truly take Ye Long’s revenge seriously."

If those people pushed too far, Lin Dong wouldn’t hesitate to make them disappear without a trace.

"Hah! Come on, stop bluffing. You’re just a sect master martial artist, while Ye Long is at the peak of half-step Earth Realm martial artist and could enter the Earth Realm at any moment. With a single move, he could wipe you out."

Qin Yitian clearly didn’t believe Lin Dong’s words, thinking he was merely boasting to save face.

Lin Dong didn’t bother explaining and chose not to dwell further on the matter.

The two were about to chat more when Lin Dong said, "Huang Fei is coming back. Let’s stop talking about this."

Qin Yitian quickly quieted down.

Sure enough, moments later, Huang Fei returned.

She addressed Qin Yitian and Lin Dong, saying, "Miss, young master, the caviar cake is ready. Would you both like to eat now?"

"Mmm, we’ll eat now," Qin Yitian nodded, ceasing their private conversation and heading to dine.

...

Today, shocking news spread across Southborne.

The news concerned Qin Feng’s younger sister, Qin Yitian.

"Have you heard? Qin Feng’s sister, Qin Yitian—the number one beauty of Southborne—just got engaged today!"

This news stirred the entire younger generation of Southborne, and even the elder generation took immense interest.

The younger generation was astonished and concerned because they had all heard that their dream goddess was now engaged. This was evidently difficult for them to accept.

As for the elder generation’s interest, it wasn’t romantic—they were more focused on her identity.

They were curious as to whom Qin Feng’s younger sister, Qin Yitian, was marrying.

After all, this was linked to the future of Southborne’s Martial Arts World.

"Could Qin Feng’s sister, Qin Yitian, be engaged to Ye Long, the son of Southborne Martial Union’s hierarch Ye Men?"

"I heard some rumors earlier that Ye Long was quite fond of Qin Feng’s sister and wanted to propose."

"I also saw Ye Men today, along with his son Ye Long, visiting Dan Alliance. So, is it true they’re now engaged?"

"If so, will Southborne’s chaos finally come to an end? With Southborne Martial Union and Southborne Dan Alliance uniting, the two giant organizations together—who could stand against them?"

"..."

Everyone assumed the engagement involved Ye Long.

However, Qin Feng’s internal announcement within Dan Alliance explicitly declared Qin Yitian’s fiancé as Dong Lin.

As for outsiders, Qin Feng deliberately prohibited revealing Dong Lin’s name and details.

The full announcement was reserved for the engagement banquet.

His intention was to create momentum for Dong Lin.

This led to the current scenario, where people speculated about Qin Yitian’s fiancé.
