I Am Born With A Silver Spoon Novel Chapter 690

Back then, Chen Hao had been so vulnerable, especially in front of her where he practically became a puppet. But now, in just a few days’ time, he’d become an expert who was almost on par with her; no wonder he was so confident.

Yun Qing thought for a moment. Currently, she’d have no problem beating Chen Hao but if the goal was to subdue and capture him, it’d be practically impossible since he now had the ability to escape from her; he could do so with ease, too.

“Yun Qing, I may not be able to kill you now, but you’ll have a hard time trying to control me!” Chen Hao declared coldly.

“What did you say? You want to kill me?” Yun Qing couldn’t believe her ears. The man she’d loved for tens of thousands of years was now saying that he wanted her dead? What woman’s love could possibly run as deep as hers, and yet he was saying that? That made her grit her teeth with hatred. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She glared at Chen Hao and nodded solemnly. Then, she threatened, “Fine, you’re right. I can’t control you as easily as I did before but remember, Chen Hao, your friend Fang Jiannan is still in my hands, so I think I still have some control over you through her!”

“Then state your terms! What will it take for you to let her go? She has nothing to do with any of this!” Chen Hao knew that Jiannan was with Yun Qing, and that was why he confronted her directly instead of running the moment he sensed she was nearby.

“My terms are simple—we complete the marriage, become a couple, and return together immediately. You may have improved drastically, but the King of Nine Doors is still stronger than you could ever imagine. If he gets involved, you’d die!” A hint of unbearable worry flashed across Yun Qing’s face with that last sentence.

Judging by her expression, this is no mere threat, Chen Hao thought. Indeed, he hasn’t even shown himself or crossed swords with me, but one can only imagine how terrifying he is to make Yun Qing so wary of him.

“When you first struck an alliance with the King of Nine Doors and the Gu Family, your goal was to capture me, until you realized they were actually planning to kill me. Did you part ways with them after that?” Chen Hao asked, thinking of the clues he’d extracted from Gu Feng.

Yun Qing nodded. “Correct. At first, they said you’d come to the Ancient City and I became tempted by the chance to capture you with ease. What I didn’t expect was how strong the King of Nine Doors actually was. At the very least, I’d be no match for him.”

“Who’s the King of Nine Doors? Why haven’t I heard of him before and why do they want me dead?” Chen Hao asked what was on his mind.

“Come to think of it, this is directly related to you. Do you remember that giant coffin in the Sea Palace, where you first set me free?” Yun Qing said.

“Of course. That coffin was bound in chains and some sort of spell formations. When the Sea Palace collapsed, it opened and a black light shot out of it.” Chen Hao recalled, then became surprised. “Are you saying that light was the King of Nine Doors?”

“Exactly. What goes around comes around, and I bet you’d never guess you’d set us both free even before you found the real her?” Yun Qing shook her head and smiled. “As for why he’s so bent on capturing and killing you, I think it has something to do with returning to the Border Realm. He knows you’re the reincarnation of the Celestial War God, so if he was able to obtain and refine your life essence for himself, it will allow his strength to drastically improve. It might even be enough to let him directly return to the Border Realm!”

“I know you’re all from the Border Realm, but I suppose you have other motives besides just marrying me? Surely I am of some use to you?” Chen Hao asked casually.

Admiration flashed across Yun Qing’s eyes. “You’re becoming more like him. His calmness, alertness and intelligence are all present in you. You’re right. I have another motive to marry you!” she said with a smile.

“What motive?”

“Once we have become one, I can begin developing those Heaven Abstruse Skills just like you and her, using your pure Yang energy. After that, I’ll be able to cross between Earth and the Border Realm, and bring about my true resurrection!”

Chen Hao replied calmly, “I see. Since you’re all trying to break through to the Border Realm, I think we can negotiate some terms!”

“What terms?”

“We can form an alliance to fight the King of Nine Doors. Otherwise, I don’t think you’d be much better off if I died at his hands,” Chen Hao said.

“As long as we’re together, you’re my husband. Anyone who wishes to harm my husband will have to go through me first, so wouldn’t that be a natural alliance?” Yun Qing smiled, then slowly walked toward Chen Hao.

“Get away from my brother, devil woman!” a voice called out. The next thing Chen Hao knew, Shuisheng was charging in with two cleavers in his hands.

“What did you call me?” Yun Qing, meanwhile, was enraged and prepared to teach this boy a lesson. After all, all women loved being flattered for their beauty to some degree, and this boy calling her a

‘devil woman’ was no less offensive than calling her ugly.

“That’s my friend, don’t hurt him!” Chen Hao caught Yun Qing’s arm the moment she raised it.

“Are you alright, brother?” Shuisheng asked. He had considered Chen Hao his brother after the multiple times he’d saved him and his sister.

“I’m fine. Wait, didn’t I tell you not to come out here? Why are you out and about, all alone?”

“I was worried that you’d be in danger!” Shuisheng replied.

Chen Hao felt a little touched. “But if I was in danger and you came, would you have survived?”

“So, is she coming with us to the Snake Cave?” Shuisheng asked, looking at Yun Qing.

“Snake Cave? What Snake Cave?” Yun Qing asked.

“It’s a possible discovery about Earth’s past civilization. Oh, yeah, I wanted to ask you something about what happened on Earth in the past and that Border Realm you keep talking about! Why don’t you come with us?” Chen Hao said. Now that he had two difficult opponents—the Gu family and the King of Nine Doors—Yun Qing was currently the least of his worries; the real threat was the King of Nine Doors.

As they said, the enemy of one’s enemy was one’s friend; according to Uncle’s advice, it was best if he minimized any direct confrontation with the enemy. Besides, as a person who’d survived a few dozen millenia, Yun Qing must know a lot of secrets, even things about the League of the Sun…
