Shock!
The entire room was in shock!
Shen Bing and Zou Xiaojie were dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, unable to say a word.
A princess proposing!
If this were to get out, it would undoubtedly cause a global sensation.
Wang Chao was also taken aback, and his cigarette almost fell to the ground.
Reacting quickly, he reached out and caught the cigarette, saying, "Princess, you must be joking."
"In the Kingdom of Bear, you are a goddess that many high-ranking officials dream of marrying. If I, a commoner, were to marry you, I would probably be killed by the powerful elites of your country."
"Who dares to touch you!" Karina said with a fierce expression.
As her voice turned cold, a powerful aura of authority emanated from her, and she became incredibly noble.
Wang Chao smiled and remained silent.
"Brother Wang, the hero, every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart. If we get married, I will be like the female protagonists in martial arts s—gentle and considerate, cooking and bathing for you every day," Princess Karina said.
Zou Xiaojie regained his senses and smiled wryly. "Princess, please calm down."
Princess Karina seemed to have become obsessed with martial arts s. Cooking and being considerate are one thing, but bathing Wang Chao every day? What's that about?
You are a noble princess, can't you be more reserved?
"Xiao Zou, I'm very serious and calm! I want to love and hate bravely like the female protagonists in martial arts s. I will not be bound by society and social classes, bravely pursuing my true love," Princess Karina said.
Zou Xiaojie furrowed his brow and said, "Princess, you need to understand one thing. s are fictional. Most authors write stories of the poor and downtrodden rising up to success in order to cater to the market. It's different from reality."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"In real life, have you ever seen a great hero born in poverty?"
"Who says that? In Jin Yong's s, Guo Jing, the great hero, was born in poverty," Karina said.
Zou Xiaojie was speechless.
Princess Karina wasn't just reading martial arts s; she had been brainwashed by them, or maybe she had fallen victim to pickup artists.
Shen Bing couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice, "Princess, Guo Jing was not born in poverty. He was a man loved by princesses from the royal family. Whenever he made a move, it was on a sweating-blood horse with gold leaves."
"If we compare it to today's value, a sweating-blood horse is a Lamborghini, and a gold leaf is worth hundreds of thousands or even millions."
"And besides, he had seven masters teaching him martial arts, and a secret tutor, Qiu Chuji, giving him private lessons."
"In today's terms, each tutoring session costs hundreds of dollars. With eight teachers, it would take many years, and which poor person can afford such tuition?"
"If Guo Jing were in modern times, he would undoubtedly be born into a wealthy family, a bona fide rich second generation."
"Huh? Is Guo Jing really that rich? But in the , Guo Jing's father was just a rural peasant, right?" Karina was taken aback.
"Have you ever seen an ordinary rural peasant who can wield a family's inherited spear technique?" Shen Bing countered.
Karina was even more shocked, feeling like her worldview had been greatly impacted. She muttered, "Are you saying that Guo Jing has always been a rich second generation?"
"Even in a small village, he is simply a descendant of a fallen noble family, never a poor commoner." Shen Bing nodded.
Karina felt a strong shock from these words.
She had always thought of Guo Jing as an underdog rising to success. Now, with Shen Bing and Zou Xiaojie's explanation, she was at a loss!
"No, I have to go read the book again. I don't believe that Guo Jing is a rich second generation."
After a moment, Karina exclaimed and turned to leave.
Zou Xiaojie quickly followed after her.
"A noble princess who hasn't experienced any storms or hardships, so innocent and romantic, it's enviable," Shen Bing said.
They were around the same age, but Karina still lived in a world of fairy tales and martial arts s, holding the most beautiful imaginations about this world.
Meanwhile, she was experiencing family struggles full of deceit and had been on the verge of life and death multiple times.
It's truly frustrating!
"That's how the world is. Some people bear heavy burdens and experience life and death, while others enjoy peace and prosperity on your behalf. Throughout the five thousand years, class divisions have always been distinct," Wang Chao said calmly.
Shen Bing, upon hearing this, suddenly realized that Wang Chao had experienced more hardships and terrifying events than her. She didn't probe further in that direction.
She turned to look at Wang Chao and suddenly asked, "Invitation from Gates, a proposal from a princess—either one could guarantee you a worry-free life of luxury and prosperity. Why don't you go with them?"
"Didn't I say it? I have reasons to stay in the Dragon Kingdom," Wang Chao replied.
His master's task hadn't come yet. How could he leave the Dragon Kingdom just like that?
Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao's face and didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, she looked out at the vast sea, feeling sweet in her heart.
In her eyes, Wang Chao's words meant that he stayed by her side and chose to stay for her.
Time passed slowly, and the sun was setting in the west.
The Swan Cruise, without any source of power, drifted with the currents and sailed deep into the Pacific Ocean.
The direction of the massive cruise ship's voyage could not be changed by manpower alone. Everyone could only watch helplessly as the ship sailed deeper into the ocean.
As the evening sky was filled with sunset hues, Zhao Shenbing found Wang Chao with a serious expression. "Mr. Wang, are you sure you have a solution?"
So much time had passed, yet there was still no assistance in sight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf night fell and the ship had no power supply, the situation would become even more dangerous. Once people's minds became unstable, no one knew what might happen.
"Don't worry, the distress signal has been sent out. I believe help will arrive soon," Wang Chao reassured.
"Mr. Wang, who was the distress signal sent to, specifically?" Zhao Shenbing curiously asked.
Having fought on extraterritorial battlefields himself and seen various types of distress signals, he had never seen one like the rainbow-like signal fired by Zhou Xinghe. It must have had an extraordinary origin.
He was curious about who Zhou Xinghe and Wang Chao really were.
In the afternoon, after completing his treatment, he had racked his brain, going through all the organizations he knew, but he found no impressions of Zhou Xinghe and Wang Chao.
These two individuals seemed to have appeared out of thin air, yet their strength was unbelievably formidable.
Wang Chao glanced at Zhao Shenbing and said indifferently, "As long as it saves your life, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
"You've reached this point, and you still do not understand such a simple principle?"
"Just wait quietly!"
"Believe that rescue will come soon."
Zhao Shenbing's expression turned a bit unpleasant upon hearing this.
He was a seven-star war god and a pillar of the Zhao family. Yet, in Wang Chao's eyes, he seemed like a minor character, which made him feel uncomfortable.
However, considering that Wang Chao had saved his life, he did not explode in anger and could only wait silently.
"Look, a ship is coming!"
"Rescue has arrived!"
At that moment, a cheer of stimulation came from the deck.
Zhao Shenbing's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed out of the room, looking into the distance.
Indeed, on the distant horizon, a massive fleet appeared in front of the setting sun, sailing towards them with grandeur and might.
Zhao Shenbing's pupils contracted intensely, his mouth gaping in astonishment as he trembled, "T-This... Is't an aircraft carrier fleet?"
