Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 585 - 545 Hua Family Secret Techniques_1
Chapter 585: Chapter 545 Hua Family Secret Techniques_1
In the crowd, everyone turned to look at Lu Chuan, bewildered as to why Hua Qianwu would call him out.
Could it simply be because of his handsome appearance?
Lu Chuan turned to Hua Qianwu and felt curious.
"If I stopped you, of course there is something I want to discuss."
For a moment, everyone cast envious glances at Lu Chuan. To have a one-on-one chat with the goddess was indeed the envy of everyone.
"Hurry up and say what you want, I need to get ready to go home."
Hua Qianwu gave a slight smile and inquired, "You... You are not from Kunlun Domain, right?"
The entire crowd curiously turned their attention to Lu Chuan.
They all started to scrutinize him in detail.
Even though Lu Chuan had changed into common local attire, his demeanor and overall aura differed greatly from the locals.
"What exactly do you want to ask?"
Lu Chuan asked with a cold face.
That attitude directly infuriated the bystanders.
The goddess is talking to you in such a friendly tone, and even if you don’t appreciate it, isn’t your attitude a bit too poor?
"I would like to invite you to be my dance partner. Together, we can return to Flower City for a performance. The money we earn will be split, with you taking seventy percent and me thirty percent."
Upon hearing these words, the bystanders were dumbfounded.
"Dance partner?"
"Is the goddess joking? Why should he be the dance partner? What does he have?"
"Exactly, so what if he’s just a bit more handsome and in better shape than me? Why not me? Am I not good enough?"
"Miss Hua is being foolish. If you find a male dance partner, I’m afraid your performance career is over."
"I can’t stand it anymore. If she gets a dance partner, I will never watch her performance again!"
Hua Qianwu blocked out the chaotic voices around her and simply stared earnestly at Lu Chuan.
She didn’t seem to be joking.
Lu Chuan looked towards Gu Xiaorou, who was next to him, and said softly, "See, her intentions are definitely not simple."
"Whether you agree or not, I have no objection. If you do accept and go with her to Flower City, maybe you could even uncover something."
Lu Chuan looked curious. "You’re so at ease with me doing this?"
"Of course, besides, we’re not officially married yet. Even if you were with her, I have no ground to complain," Gu Xiaorou shrugged.
Lu Chuan quickly assured, "I will absolutely not be with her. You are my fiancée now, and in the future, you will be my wife. That will not change!"
Gu Xiaorou smiled with reassurance, "But she is much prettier than me."
"Not at all. If she wasn’t dressed in a beautiful dance gown and surrounded by flower petals as an embellishment, how could she possibly compare to you? Moreover, she doesn’t even dare to show her entire face."
Lu Chuan turned his head to look at Hua Qianwu and said loudly, "Dance partner or whatever, I’m not interested. Find someone else."
"Dude, are you stupid? If I were you, I’d slap myself for even hesitating for a second."
A bystander looked at Lu Chuan in disbelief.
"Goddess, if he won’t accept, then what about me? I’m very good at dancing!"
"Miss Hua, may I accompany you to Flower City? I’ve longed to go there!"
"Please allow me to be your dance partner. I will do my utmost to satisfy you!"
Hua Qianwu looked down at Lu Chuan, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.
She did not expect that Lu Chuan would actually refuse. Flower City, compared to Carefree City, was far superior.
The opportunity to settle down in Flower City was something people here would fight tooth and nail for.
"Within the Hua family, we have a special secret technique, which allows us to quickly absorb Spiritual Energy from plants rich in it."
"That is why martial artists from our family progress so rapidly in their training, which is why the Hua family has securely held its position as the preeminent aristocratic family in Flower City."
"If you accept my invitation, I can assure you that from then on, you will be a part of the Hua family. You can live in Hua Family Manor, learn our martial arts skills, and even secret techniques," she said.
"This temptation, I think you wouldn’t refuse, right?"
Having said this, she revealed a confident smile.
Lu Chuan immediately furrowed his brows. The Hua family’s secret technique actually involved drawing in Spiritual Energy from naturally rich plants.
If he learned this technique, wouldn’t he be able to absorb the Spiritual Energy within the Divine Tree branch?
But why would Hua Qianwu reveal this information to him?
And she was so certain that he wouldn’t refuse.
Lu Chuan guessed that this Hua Qianwu must have already learned that he possessed a branch of the Divine Tree and that she needed this particular technique.
So after revealing it, most people would find it difficult to refuse.
After all, this was a branch of the Divine Tree, containing a staggering amount of Spiritual Energy.
However, the more it was so, the more Lu Chuan felt there was a trick to it.
Perhaps if he went to the Hua family, he might even lose his life.
Lu Chuan still chose to refuse.
"Do I need to repeat myself? I am not interested in what you offer, and I am leaving now," he said.
After speaking, Lu Chuan turned to leave.
Watching Lu Chuan’s retreating figure, Hua Qianwu stood there, stunned and clueless.
The crowd below was also feeling incomprehensibly at a loss; some even thought Lu Chuan was mad for passing up such a great opportunity.
Consequently, others were eager to try their luck for an opportunity with Hua Qianwu.
Hua Qianwu ignored the various loud voices from the crowd below and began to ponder.
A moment later, she took out a piece of paper from her waist.
The likeness of Lu Chuan was clearly drawn on it.
The person she sought based on this portrait was indeed the right one!
If this man possessed a branch of the Divine Tree, then what she had just said should have attracted him, shouldn’t it?
Had she been seen through?
Hua Qianwu put away the portrait and took a deep breath!
Her family had sent her out to retrieve the Divine Tree branch, and she absolutely couldn’t return empty-handed. She had to bring either the branch or the person back!
One of the two must be achieved, otherwise, she’d have a difficult time explaining herself upon return.
...
By then, Lu Chuan had already left the bustling main thoroughfare, heading towards Gu family’s residence.
Gu Xiaosang looked at Lu Chuan with envy, "If I were you, I really would’ve followed her."
"Follow her, only to be tricked?" he replied.
"Being tricked by such a beautiful woman would be worth it," she countered.
Lu Chuan turned to Gu Xiaosang with a doubtful expression and asked, "You’re not falling for her, are you?"
"Xiaorou, you better keep an eye on your sister, lest she goes crazy."
Gu Xiaosang clenched her small fists and hit Lu Chuan lightly, "I am not crazy!"
Gu Xiaorou just smiled faintly, "Do you think she will continue to stay here?"
"If her purpose for coming to Carefree City this time is for this branch, then she probably won’t leave; if she hasn’t completed her mission, it wouldn’t be easy for her to return."
Lu Chuan clenched his fists, "But that Xu family, daring to disclose my information, I won’t let them off!"
"That Xu family might also be in Flower City; if you want to settle the score with them, you’ll likely have to make a trip there," she said.
Lu Chuan replied helplessly, "The Lu family is entrenched in the central region of Kunlun Domain. If I want to strike at the Lu family, I fear it’s inevitable to pass through Flower City; I can’t avoid it."
