Wang Han approached Lu Xian, gently taking her hand and saying with a smile, "We've finally achieved our goal. We're getting engaged today, and we'll be married in two years. Even the obstacle that was between us has been removed. I truly can't describe my feelings!" "Yes, even I didn't expect you to succeed in eliminating Wang Kai, that so-called genius. But you managed to save me from this arranged marriage the moment I was born. You truly are one of a kind, Wang Han." "That's nothing. I'd do anything for you, my love." "I actually have some wonderful news, and it comes at the perfect time with our engagement. You'll be over the moon when you hear it," Wang Han said at that moment, a wide smile spreading across his lips as he stroked Lu Xian's hair. "Hmm? What is it?" Lu Xian asked, curiosity blossoming on her beautiful face. "Actually, I've found a treasure. A few cultivation techniques and combat skills that far surpass the Mysterious and Earthly grades, grades we haven't even known the names of before!" Wang Han moved very close to Lu Xian and whispered in her ear. "What?!" Lu Xian's voice rose involuntarily in shock, before she recovered and lowered her voice to a whisper, saying doubtfully but with hope in her eyes. "Is that really what you're saying? You're not joking, are you, Wang Han? This isn't something to joke about." "I'm not joking, my dear. The time for our rise has come. As long as you're with me, even if you wanted this empire, I'd give it to you to rule. Nothing will stand in my way. That's what I told you the first time I confessed my love, and I stand by my word. My current strength doesn't matter; I will rise above everyone, and you will be my queen, ruling over all. This world is ours, Lu Xian, ours. And no one will stop us from seizing it. No one can, believe me." Wang Han said, reaching out and gently stroking Lu Xian's cheek. "So, will you be with me, my dear? Will you take on this perilous adventure with me? For wealth, power, and authority, do you trust me enough?" Lu Xian's eyes gleamed with the same burning ambition as Wang Han's as she moved closer to him, her smile a confident reply. "Of course, I will never leave you, Wang Han. Our destinies are intertwined, we will either die together or rise to power together." Before she leaned even closer and kissed him on the cheek, Wang Han thought happily. 'I knew I had made the right choice.' 'Techniques that surpass even the Earth grade! I've truly won the grand prize! I'm sure Wang Han won't lie to me; I really did make the right choice between him and Wang Kai.' Lu Xian thought at that moment as she smiled gently and kindly while hugging Wang Han, continuing her thoughtful analysis. 'Although Mother kept scolding me for the vast difference in talent that was so obvious, the potential I saw in Wang Han is about to blossom. You'll see, Mother, that I have eyes and judgment abilities far superior to yours in a few months. Wait for the surprise.' Wang Han was completely unaware of Lu Xian's true intentions, that she hadn't chosen him because of her feelings for him, but simply because she analyzed and reasoned that he was more valuable and beneficial to her than Wang Kai. "My dear, I'll transfer the technique to you tomorrow after the engagement ceremony, okay? I don't think I need to tell you, but don't tell anyone about this. It's our secret, no one else knows it." Wang Han said at that moment, warning and emphasizing Lu Xian's point. "Okay, don't worry about it. I certainly won't tell anyone." Lu Xian replied as if it were a given, before continuing. "So, how about we go back now? Our parents must have finished arranging everything by now. Let's meet at the party tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing your technique." "Oh, you only want to see me for the technique? I guess I don't need to give it to you anymore, it've already taken my place very quickly." Wang Han said jokingly at that moment with a mocking smile. "No, what are you saying? Of course
