Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Extremely Depressed

Xiao Yingzi asked in disbelief. After all, she was very confident in her looks. While she wouldn’t call herself a peerless beauty, she knew she was far from plain. Yet, the man in front of her seemed unwilling to marry her, which she found absolutely incredible.

Has the world really changed so much? A beauty shows up on a man’s doorstep and he doesn’t want her? Xiao Yingzi wondered blankly.

"Well, how should I put this? Let’s be honest," Lin Kuang began, gazing at Xiao Yingzi’s beautiful face. "If a gorgeous woman like you said she wanted to marry me, I’d be lying if I said the thought didn’t cross my mind. However, we don’t have any feelings for each other, so it would be difficult for us to build a future together. Of course, if you’re just offering one night with no strings attached, I’d be more than willing." He said all this shamelessly, but at the end of the day, it was the truth. When a beautiful woman like her came on to him, Lin Kuang truly didn’t mind the idea of a casual fling.

"Good. It seems you’re telling the truth and not trying to trick me," Xiao Yingzi said earnestly, looking at Lin Kuang. "That’s good. This actually improves my opinion of you."

Hearing this, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but slap his forehead. He had meant to scare this beautiful woman away, but her response left him completely helpless.

"COUGH, COUGH. Actually, there’s another reason. I already have many women. If you joined, you’d be the tenth, and the most junior one at that. It wouldn’t be fair to you," Lin Kuang said again.

"See? None of you men are any good!" Xiao Yingzi retorted fiercely.

"You’re right, I admit I’m not a good person. So you should stop following me. It’s decided," Lin Kuang said with a grin.

"No! People in our Ancient Martial Realm don’t care about things like that. You can marry a hundred wives for all I care, but I’m sticking with you," Xiao Yingzi retorted fiercely.

"Er, don’t be like that... Huh? Wait a second. You’re from the Ancient Martial Realm? Aren’t you an assassin?" Lin Kuang couldn’t help but ask, his dark eyes full of confusion.

At his question, Xiao Yingzi looked a little embarrassed and stuck out her tongue, realizing her slip-up. But after a moment’s thought, she decided she didn’t care. The man before me is my man, so what does it matter if I tell him? Thinking this, Xiao Yingzi stopped hiding the truth. "That’s right, I’m from the Ancient Martial Realm. Being an assassin is just a side gig, something I do when I’m bored."

"You... you’re really something else. Being an assassin is just a part-time job?! Then you must be from the Xiao Family of the Ancient Martial Realm?" Lin Kuang asked.

"Correct. I’m from the Xiao Family, and now, I’m your woman," Xiao Yingzi said, her pretty face blushing slightly, making her look quite enchanting.

Lin Kuang couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her words. This woman was certainly stubborn! However, with such a beautiful woman sitting on his bed, he would be lying to himself if he said he wasn’t the least bit tempted.

After a moment, an idea came to him. Lin Kuang stepped toward Xiao Yingzi with a wicked grin, his dark eyes roaming over her body as if he were about to do something. Seeing his expression, Xiao Yingzi instinctively covered her chest and shuffled backward.

"Wh-what are you trying to do?" she asked nervously. This bastard isn’t going to try and do *that* to me right here, is he? At the thought, her heart began to pound. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. A flicker of anxiety showed in her beautiful eyes.

"Nothing much. Didn’t you say you’re my woman? Well, isn’t it perfectly normal for me to do what I want with my woman?" Seeing her frightened expression, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but grin. His wicked smile made Xiao Yingzi retreat even faster.

"No, not now! You bastard, how could you? We don’t even have feelings for each other yet," Xiao Yingzi protested, her mind a tangled mess. After all, she had declared herself his woman. Since that was the case, it was only natural that he could do whatever he wanted with her.

"What’s there to be afraid of? You’re already my woman, so it’s perfectly normal for us to do something about it. As for feelings, we can cultivate those slowly, right?" By this point, Lin Kuang was already kneeling on the bed, smiling at Xiao Yingzi as if he was about to pounce at any second.

Hearing him, Xiao Yingzi quickly rolled to the side. "Th-that won’t work either! Not right now," she stammered, clearly struggling.

"Then don’t be my woman. If you want to be my woman, stop running. It’s your choice," Lin Kuang said coolly, then began to crawl toward her on his knees.

His ultimatum made Xiao Yingzi even more conflicted. She had made an unchangeable vow: she had to become Lin Kuang’s woman. However, doing *that* so soon was incredibly nerve-wracking for her. It was her first time, and there was no real affection between them yet. The thought made her extremely nervous and scared. But Lin Kuang had laid out his terms: to become his woman, she had to do *that* with him now, or she could forget it. This put Xiao Yingzi in an impossible position, as she couldn’t bear to break the vow she had held onto for so many years.

Seeing Lin Kuang approach with that wicked grin, Xiao Yingzi grit her teeth.

The next moment, she stopped running. She lay straight on the bed, spread her arms and legs, and closed her eyes. "Come on, then! It was bound to happen sooner or later!" she declared, her mind made up. She had to become Lin Kuang’s woman. And if she was going to be his woman, she would have to do *that* with him eventually. It was just happening sooner than expected. So be it! Since she had to go through it eventually, Xiao Yingzi steeled her resolve. Come what may!

Hearing her words and seeing her sprawled out on the bed with an air of "do as you please," Lin Kuang was utterly dumbfounded. To be honest, he had only been trying to frighten her. He just wanted to scare her off and put an end to the matter. He never expected that she would actually agree, much less adopt a posture that screamed ’I’m all yours.’ The sight made Lin Kuang’s brain ache!

What in the world is wrong with this girl’s head? How could she agree to this? Lin Kuang was completely speechless.
