Chapter 149 It Was the Aura of a King"s Weapon!
Roderick felt that his idea was completely feasible.
After all, as a man, he knew very well that in this world, there were only two things that men pursued: power, and women.
As far as Lin Lei was concerned, the Eastern Emperor was already the most powerful person in the entire easternmost region.
Thus, at this moment, only women were more attractive to him.
Speaking of women, Roderick was very confident in his daughter"s qualifications!
Although Natasha"s personality was a bit hot-tempered, her beauty was definitely at the level of city-toppling.
Whether it was her appearance or her figure, not a single man wouldn"t be moved by her beauty.
Roderick had a lot to say about this.
When he first met his daughter"s mother, his wife, he couldn"t help but be dazzled by her beauty and lose his composure.
But compared to her mother, Natasha was just a lot more attractive.
Thinking of this, Roderick became even more certain of his thought.
Only, there was another problem: because of a single sentence from Natasha, Lin Lei had been imprisoned in the sect"s dungeon for hundreds of days.
At this moment, would Lin Lei be willing to be betrothed to Natasha?
Roderick"s thoughts were: no man could refuse a woman who voluntarily threw herself into his arms.
Not even if he was the Eastern Emperor.
As a man, Roderick was very confident in this.
In addition, to be able to see a woman who had once mocked him throw herself into his arms… wasn"t this a very enjoyable thing for any man?
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Roderick"s lips. He then waved his hand at his daughter,
“Natasha, come here. Father has something to say to you.”
“Eh? What is it, Father?”
Natasha looked at her father, who was smiling. Feeling puzzled, she walked over.
Just now, she had been patiently listening to the a.n.a.lysis of Walton and the others.
The more she listened, the more she felt that her chance of becoming Lin Lei"s disciple was slim. She therefore felt very depressed.
Now when she saw that her father was actually smiling, she couldn"t help but blame him in her heart.
“Father, how can you still laugh? It"s very likely that I won"t be able to become his disciple. That girl, Ella… She will be stronger than me for the rest of her life…”
Natasha said resentfully.
She clearly remembered that when Lin Lei had just returned from the ruins, Ella didn"t even have the strength of a Magus Apprentice of the first rank.
But just now, she had sensed that the aura of the mageforce emanating from Ella was many times stronger than hers…
This made her very unhappy.
As for women, there wasn"t a single one who didn"t like to get jealous…
Roderick looked at his angry daughter and laughed.
A father knows his daughter well.
Roderick naturally knew why his daughter was unhappy.
He moved closer to Natasha"s ear and said in a soft voice.
“Natasha, Daddy has thought of a great way to make you surpa.s.s Ella and even Walton and the others… if this method works, you might be the next Great Sage!”
“Hmm?”
Hearing her father"s words, Natasha, who had a melancholic look on her face, instantly widened her eyes,
“What method? Father, don"t keep me in suspense! Tell me!”
Natasha was very excited, and her gaze flickered as she looked at Roderick
Roderick slowly began to tell her his plan.
Hearing that her father"s plan was actually to marry her off to Lin Lei, Natasha"s beautiful face instantly turned red!
“Father, this, this, this…”
She stammered, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
“Natasha, have faith in your father. To be able to marry Lin Lei is definitely your greatest blessing!”
Roderick"s gaze was solemn as he spoke,
“Just now, you heard it all. The current Lin Lei is already the Eastern Emperor, and he has the Eastern Emperor"s Bell. His future prospects are absolutely limitless!”
“If you become his wife, will he not teach you the method to advance to a higher level?”
“Besides, even if he is ruthless enough to not teach you the method to advance to a higher realm, if you become his wife, it means that in the future, you will be the empress of the East Emperor!”
“This ident.i.ty means that you are the most honorable woman in the entire easternmost region!”
“Daughter, think about it. How great of an honor is this?!”
“Do you know how big the entire easternmost region is?”
“The easternmost region stretches across tens of thousands of miles, has a population of over ten million, and has over a hundred sects!”
“And once you become the woman of the Eastern Emperor, so many people and sects will listen to your orders, and even the entire continent will spread your name!”
“Daughter, this is a good thing that countless women dare not hope for. Think about it carefully…”
Roderick"s face was filled with excitement as he spoke.
Clearly, everything he said had nothing to do with him, but he himself couldn"t help but go crazy with excitement!
“Father, it"s not that I don"t agree. I am…”
Natasha waved her hand, her face blushing as she interrupted her father.
She wasn"t lying.
It wasn"t that she didn"t want to marry Lin Lei. In fact, after discovering that Lin Lei was becoming more and more powerful, her impression of him had long since changed.
Right now, not only did she not have a bad impression of Lin Lei, she actually had a good impression of him.
Thus, she didn"t reject the suggestion about Lin Lei.
Particularly, everything that her father had just said was filled with temptation for Natasha!
Who wouldn"t want to become the woman behind a powerful man?
Who wouldn"t want their name to spread throughout the entire continent of Magic?
Everyone wanted it!
Especially a woman like Natasha, who was somewhat vain. She couldn"t withstand such temptation.
But the only thing was …
“The only thing was, Father, I"m willing to marry Lin Lei, but… is Lin Lei willing?”
“Don"t forget that Lin Lei was once imprisoned in the cellars of the sect for a year because of me…”
“To a man, this is a lifelong humiliation. Are you sure he won"t hold a grudge and then willingly accept me?”
Natasha"s face was red as she spoke.
At this moment, she was like a young girl in love, a worried look on her face as she wondered if her lover would despise her…
“No, Natasha. Trust father"s judgment. A man who has achieved great things will not remember this little bit of humiliation.”
Roderick laughed as he patted his daughter on the shoulder,
“In addition, when you really marry Lin Lei, you will discover that the world will have a different understanding of the fact that you imprisoned Lin Lei in the cellar.”
“They will only think that you imprisoned Lin Lei in the cellar because you were angry at Lin Lei for not being able to advance, or because you saw him get too close to other girls, and then you became jealous.”
“As for Lin Lei, who was locked up in the cellar, he learned from his mistakes and began to train hard. In the end, he became a Great Sage whose fame shook the East…”
“This sort of storyline is on par with Lin Lei"s rapid rise in power in the real world.”
“As for this sort of story, will the people of the continent accept it…”
“Please don"t worry. Those bards and dramatists will make the public believe that this is true.”
“After all, who would suspect that a married couple once had a blood feud?”
“In addition, Father has already decided that as long as you marry Lin Lei, I will give the entire Li Fire Sect to Lin Lei as a betrothal gift!”
“The Li Fire Sect has all of Lin Lei"s memories from the first half of his life. He definitely won"t give it up so easily.”
“In that case, I would imagine Lin Lei won"t refuse, right?”
Roderick said with a confident look on his face.
Natasha"s heart began to thump when she heard that her father, in order for her to marry Lin Lei, was willing to risk the entire future of the Li Fire Sect.
At this moment, she couldn"t help but begin to imagine the scene of her entering the marriage hall together with Lin Lei…
“Bang!”
But right at this moment, within Lin Lei"s courtyard, a ma.s.sive explosion suddenly rang out!
An extremely powerful surge of energy shot into the skies, illuminating the entire area within a hundred miles as though it were daytime!
“It"s the aura of a King"s weapon!”
Walton, who had immediately noticed the abnormality, couldn"t help but let out a surprised cry. Afterwards, he, Bud, and William all three flew out of the room!
