A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 342: The approval

The king looked at Alex and exhaled.

Then he tried comparing Alex to the son of another City Lord whom he was going to bring to his daughter, Layla, as a cultivation partner.

After doing his comparison from all that he had heard about Alex, he concluded that Alex was truly hundred times better than the City Lord's son.

And when he looked at him, Alex didn't adopt any arrogant posture.

Instead, he was humble before him. When he could be way arrogant and disrespectful since he had an extremely powerful uncle who was tremendously wealthy to the point that the wealth of his older brother, the City Lord, would possibly not match up to one-fifth of the immense wealth that he possessed.

The king exhaled once again.

He was starting to force himself to accept Alex.

The one thing holding him back was that he wanted his daughter to be the only wife of any man that her daughter would bring to him as a cultivation partner. He didn't want her husband to be shared by any other woman.

'Well, that's life. Sometimes, what you plan may not go in the direction that you wanted it to go. I guess I would just have to accept him like that then.' The king said within.

Then he looked at Alex and said "I approve of your request for my daughter's hand in marriage. Anytime you both are ready, you can come to me so we could plan your wedding. But I believe it should not be anytime soon, right?"

The king stood from his throne with everyone immediately bowing. Then he retreated to his room to relax. Same with his wife who immediately followed after him.

Layla looked at Alex where she was seated.

Then when their eyes jammed, she looked away.

And when she noticed Alex walking towards her, she abruptly stood from her seat and hurried to leave to her room so Alex wouldn't come to pest her.

People in the hall noticed this and gave smiles.

Lovebirds!

That was what flashed in their minds.

Before Layla could close the heavy metallic door behind her when she arrived in her room, a strong hand suddenly caught it and prevented it from closing.

She tried to push it close.

But no, she couldn't. And this was after applying every ounce of strength that she could muster.

The hand that caught the door and prevented it from closing had a strength that was possibly fifty times more than hers. So, how could she push it close.

After struggling for some time, she gave up and opened the door for whoever had the hand that prevented the door from closing to enter.

Alex entered with a naughty smile in his face.

Layla just ignored him and went to seat in her bed.

"You have a nice room, Layla" Alex said.

"I know." Layla replied.

"What do you want? What are you doing in my room?" Layla asked further.

"Come on, are you asking me what I want in your room? Of course I am here to do things that husbands do their wives. Or what do you think I would follow you to your room for?" Alex asked with a naughty smile in his face.

Layla simply looked at him and shook her head.

"Dirty soul" She called him while Alex grinned.

He couldn't be blamed.

He just loved being naughty around his wives.

"So, do you want it?" Layla asked in a voice that gave Alex the chills.

"Want what?" Alex asked to confirm what he heard

Then he hoped he hadn't mistakenly activated the sex thirst mechanism in her. Or he would absolutely regret it for trying to be naughty around her.

He knew that once she started with him, he could end up in her room for many days, or even weeks.

So, that was something he hoped not to start at this moment. And even if it was to start, it should be at his own place. Not in this place.

He could simply lose the good records everyone had for him in their minds.

"You said you wanted us to do what husbands and wives do. So, come insert your rod in me. I want it. I believe you also want it. And please do not tarry any longer, I am beginning to feel the burn in my body. Come and quench it for me" Layla said.

Alex's face twisted that it became ugly.

When Layla saw how ugly Alex's face had become, she laughed out raucously.

Seeing that Layla was fine and that she was only trying to prank him, Alex gave a sigh of relief.

"I guess I would be going now" Alex said.

"Okay." Layla replied.

Then before Alex could turn around to leave her room, Layla suddenly asked "Alex, please wait. Do you have an idea of who could have leaked out what we kept as secret between only the two of us?"

"No" Alex shook his head.

"But I have a feeling that it's the same bastard that made those rumors about Olivia and I having a secret relationship and almost put her into trouble with her family members." He said further.

"Then what do we do about this? This person might even be monitoring us right now. The bastard might be listening to our speech and would definitely leak out secrets that would be shared between us. Ughh! I so want to catch this person and strangulate him or her to death. Alex, you need to urgently do something about this. The pest is after you. And is really trying their best to bring you down, and probably every other person that is related to you." Layla said.

Alex nodded his head agreeably.

"I know too. Just catching this person is the only problem that I have. But I know I would definitely bring to an end all these one day. I would surely catch that jobless bastard in the end. And when I do, I would feed the person's ruined corpse to the wild beasts in the wilderness." He said confidently after he recalled the greater mystery unveiling power of the Heavenly Mystery Revealment God-eyes.
