Betting For Love

"Mine is quite complicated. My parents do not care about materials or resources. They just want me to have a good wife probably, someone who can support me for my dream."

"Oh yeah! Before, I lied to you. I have a dream. But, my dream is a kinda foolish one."

After that, he got a little silent. Xue Le suddenly touched his fingers and held his hand. She looked at him with earnest eyes and asked.

"So, can you tell me your dream?"

Fu Chen sighed and nodded his head.

"My dream is to completely end the battle between Humans and Monsters. I want to create a world where humans and monsters can live in harmony."

When he said that, a great desire for strength appeared in his eyes. Because that's the only way people will ever listen to him.

Xue Le's eyes widened to the point she couldn't even blink for a long time. She didn't know what to say. But, suddenly she remembered something and asked "Is your fiancee a monster beast?"

Fu Chen sighed and nodded his head.

"She is a White Fox, also the Monster Emperor. I don't know how she met my parents but apparently, she had protected them and from the recent letter that I got, it seems like they want her to marry me."

"Of course, the Monster Emperor who has awakened her bloodline won't simply marry me. So, first, she wants me to get stronger than her, and then only she will marry me."

"The problem is my parents have accepted those terms. And, the bigger problem is that I must get stronger than her if I want to fulfill my dream. And, the bigger problem than the previous problem is that I can't say no if my parents keep insisting."

When he finished, he remained silent. But, suddenly, a question came to his mind as he asked.

"Wait, your brother previously told me that I can marry you if I join Xue Family? You already have the fiancee. So, if I had agreed to his conditions, would he have annulled your previous engagement?"

Xue Le shook her head and said "You truly don't understand this properly, do you? The Great Families don't care about morals or boundaries or anything in fact. They only care about strengthening the family."

"In my case, I would have married both of you and bore both of your children. The only difference would be. The child of you and me will become the next family head while the child from me and my fiancee would be pushed into the dark and trained as the secret protector of the family."

"In fact, this is how the Great Family gets stronger. I learned something about my mother which shocked me so much that I don't even know how to describe it. Do you know remember the Library Elder?"

Fu Chen nodded his head but a lot of thoughts were ringing in his mind.

"The reason why he hates the Xue family is because he once had a child with my mother. He was very strong and talented in his youth. My mother manipulated him and managed to bear his child."

"After he learned the truth, he was enraged and that day he killed almost five Nascent Soul Cultivators of Xue Family at cost of his lifespan. That's why he looks so old now."

"And, do you know what happened to that child? He is currently the S-Class Protector of the Xue Family. It is kind of a ranking of protectors in the Xue Family. S-Class represents Nascent Soul Cultivators."

"In fact, he should be our big brother but since his surname is still Tu, he only lives in the dark. That's why Xue Family Head has only two children in the eyes of the world."

"Not just our family, there is another family known as Jiang Family. Normally, the relationship between siblings should be forbidden but this family didn't care and didn't hide it from the world as well."

"The head of Jiang had one daughter and one son. One inherited the True Yang Body and another inherited the true Yin Body. Now, their son inherits the True Yin-Yang Body."

"As for its abilities and talents. He reached the peak of Foundation Realm at the age of fifteen. He awakened at the age of fourteen. He reached the peak of the True Essence Realm at the age of Seventeen. And, he also reached the peak of Golden Core Realm at the age of Twenty."

"Don't forget that I am the most talented person in Xue Family with the potential to awaken my bloodline and I work very hard. But even I am one year behind his achievements."

"It is said that he has awakened Yin-Yang Divine Eyes which allows him to see through everything just like your eyes. This is how the world works especially the world of Great Families."

"If you are born into a Great Family, from how you eat to when you shit, everything is decided by the family. There is nothing you can do unless you either manipulate them completely or become unrivaled in strength."

Fu Chen stayed silent for a long but when she stopped, he immediately asked a question.

"If you knew all of this if you knew this is how things would have gone, why did you go through all that? How do you plan to change this?"

Hearing his words, her lips curled up. She looked at Fu Chen with straight eyes and said.

"Didn't I say this before? You can do nothing unless you have unrivaled strength. But, what if you do have unrivaled strength? What if you awaken the bloodline and took control of your entire family?"

"What if no one from your family can raise their head in front of you? Would you still need to follow those rules?"

When she said that, Fu Chen's eyes widened. He couldn't help but feel intense pressure from her. It was as if she was the master of all, controlling everything in her palm.

"I never told you about my dream, have I? Well, now you should know. My dream is to awaken my bloodline and change the rules of my family."

Two almost impossible dreams by two lovers. Both of them stared at each other for a moment and suddenly, burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

Both were excited. Both had ambition and both were prepared for it. After a while, Xue Le suddenly said something that stunned Fu Chen.

"Chen, how about we make a little bet?"

"Bet?" Fu Chen asked with confusion.

"Yes, bet of our life. Since both of us know that if we can't succeed in our dream within a certain time, we will lose each other. Although I managed to fool my brother, if we can't fulfill our dream, then there is nothing we can do."

"So, I have an idea. This idea will force us to train even harder." Suddenly, she held his head and pulled him near her. Her eyes were in front of his eyes. Their noses were touching each other.

She looked at him straight into his eyes and said "Because you are mine, and mine alone. I don't plan on sharing you with anyone else."

Suddenly, she pushed him away and rolled her eyes "But, knowing that your parents are almost a hundred times more important than me for you. I know that you won't be able to say no if they force you to marry that fox."

"And, I know such kind of mental burden will definitely push you to the edge of darkness. So, I have a perfect bet for both of us."

Hearing her words, Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and she continued "The bet is simple actually. The time limit is three years. After three years, I will turn twenty-one and they will marry me to that rich pig."

"So, the time limit is three years and within three years, we must accomplish one of two things. Either you become the strongest person in this world within three years or I awaken my bloodline. Obviously, the odds are in my favor so I will give you an advantage in the bet."

"If you manage to win by becoming the strongest person in the world within three years then I will allow you to take her as your second wife. I don't care about her opinion. In fact, you should belong to me and me only. But, I will generous enough to allow you to have a second wife."

"Normally, if you are the strongest, then you have more than two wives but it depends if your wives are weak-minded or not. But, if you lose the bet, then I don't care how much you love your family, you must say no to that marriage and you are not allowed to look into any other women, you understand?"

"If you become strongest before I awaken my bloodline then you win the bet. But, if I awaken before you become the strongest, then I win the bet. If one of us managed to win, then we will be together forever."

"But, if both of us fail, then we will never be together."
