Will you marry me?

Alexander was completely astounded, hardly believing his eyes.

Before him was a face of indescribable beauty, pure and dazzling, delicate and captivating.

Never in his life had Alexander seen such a beautiful woman.

He couldn't help but think that even the most popular female movie stars would seem like ugly ducklings in her presence.

Alexander couldn't control himself; his gaze lingered on the stunning beauty. Her allure, combined with a perfect face, positioned her as the dream woman of every man.

"My name is Laura. What's yours?" the woman said gently.

"I'm Alexander," he replied, somewhat shyly.

Faced with such a beautiful woman, Alexander's heartbeat raced uncontrollably.

It wasn't that Alexander had social anxiety; it was mainly because this woman was too beautiful, like a goddess.

"Alexander? Thank you for saving me," Laura said softly.

"But I didn't do anything. Why do you say I saved you?" Alexander asked with a laugh.

"No, you did a lot, you just don't realize it," Laura responded.

Alexander looked at Laura, puzzled, waiting for her explanation.

But Laura didn't continue. Instead, her bright eyes studied Alexander.

Under the gaze of such a stunning beauty, Alexander felt uneasy and somewhat inferior.

"Do I have something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked, trying to muster courage under her constant gaze.

"Look at me," Laura said, a complex expression crossing her face as if she had made a decision.

"What's wrong?" Alexander's nerves gradually calmed down, but he found it nearly impossible to stay composed in front of Laura.

When Laura asked him to look at her, he involuntarily turned his gaze towards her.

"Do you think I'm beautiful?" Laura's voice was very gentle.

"Yes!" Alexander nodded, thinking to himself, "If you're not beautiful, then probably no woman in the world is."

"Would you marry me then?" Laura's face flushed as she looked directly into Alexander's eyes.

???

"What's going on? I just saved you, and now you want to repay me with your body?"

Alexander was completely dumbfounded. Such a scenario, which he believed existed only in online novels, was actually happening to him.

His mind felt like it had been struck by a stone, rendered incapable of response.

Laura, the most beautiful woman Alexander had ever seen, had made a deep impression on him. It would be disingenuous to say he wasn't moved.

The idea of marrying someone so stunning was something many men dreamt of. However, the reality was that they had never met before today, making this sudden proposal feel surreal, like something out of a dream.

"You don't want to marry me?" Laura's beautiful face showed a hint of hurt.

In fact, Laura was the daughter of the God-King, a legendary Life Goddess who had come here to investigate the whereabouts of the Devil Heart. However, she had accidentally fallen into a trap set by the Devil Lord.

Though the Devil Lord was powerful, he couldn't harm Laura by conventional means. Resorting to a deceitful tactic, he poisoned her with a carefully concocted Cupid's Toxin.

Her powers were suppressed by the toxin, which caused various 'painful' symptoms in her body under its influence.

Seeing Laura's pitiful and distressed appearance, Alexander's heart softened, and he said, "I am willing."

After Alexander agreed, Laura suddenly stepped closer.

"Um!"

Before Alexander could finish speaking, his lips were sealed by a pair of soft lips.
