Chapter 281: Chapter278-Your Fiancé Has Been Arranged
Unlike the others, who were puzzled by Leslie’s current state, Deamon knew exactly what was happening—Leslie had awakened the supreme bloodline of their family!
The Rosewood family had become one of the top families in Middle Earth, feared by many powerful forces. This was because their ancestor was a peerless existence, with one foot nearly stepping beyond the realm of celestial gods!
The Ice Emperor, Rosewood!
Because of that half step he took, his descendants experienced an unprecedented leap in their bloodline!
Every descendant of the Rosewood family was born with extraordinary talent, standing out even in Middle Earth, where they were unmatched by most prodigies.
Even though the bloodline had thinned over the ages, it still granted the Rosewood descendants superior talent, far beyond the average person.
Occasionally, the Ice Emperor’s bloodline would flare up, and a true genius would be born within the family, ensuring that the Rosewood family remained strong and feared for generations!
It was this very obsession with preserving the bloodline that led to Leslie’s mother being cast out—because she was an outsider with “impure” blood, she and Leslie were exiled, left to fend for themselves, and cut off from the Rosewood family.
But now, in an ironic twist of fate, this “impure” Leslie had awakened the Ice Emperor bloodline!
And it was an unprecedented awakening—almost as if she were the Ice Emperor’s own daughter!
With such pure bloodline, Leslie’s strength had surged dramatically, and her body underwent a complete transformation!
She could even wield part of the Ice Emperor’s power!
The icy artifact in her hands, the Tide of Snow and Ice, was the same celestial weapon the Ice Emperor had once wielded. Its power was on par with the Godslayer Staff!
In fact, with the amplification from the Ice Emperor’s power, it was even more terrifying than the Godslayer Staff!
This was how she had managed to kill three God Kings and severely injure two God Emperors with just one strike!
After a brief moment of anger, regret, and silence, Deamon took a deep breath, his eyes filled with fervor as he said:
“Leslie, come back with me. I will give you an explanation for what happened back then!”
“I swear, if you return to the family, the Rosewood family will put all its resources into nurturing you, helping you fully master the Ice Emperor’s power. You will become the next head of the Rosewood family!”
His words left everyone in shock, staring in disbelief at Deamon, the God Emperor of the Rosewood family.
Moments ago, Deamon had been filled with murderous intent and disgust toward Leslie, and now he was begging her to return and even offering the position of family head!
“The Ice Emperor bloodline! No wonder she suddenly gained such terrifying power, slaughtering God Kings like it was nothing!”
“That Ice Emperor Rosewood was a mythic figure even in ancient times. Who would’ve thought Leslie had inherited his bloodline!”
At that moment, countless people gazed at Leslie with awe and fear.
Even Owen was somewhat surprised. He had known that Leslie would one day inherit the Ice Emperor’s power and become one of the top-tier powerhouses in the world, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.
It seemed the changes in the timeline had also affected Leslie, the future supervillain!
The gods of Middle Earth glanced angrily at Deamon. They were well aware of the history between Leslie and the Rosewood family, and they could only blame Deamon and the others for their shortsightedness. Now they had to bear the consequences of their actions!
However, they soon breathed a small sigh of relief.
After all, Deamon had offered Leslie the position of family head and promised to help her fully master the Ice Emperor’s power—two enormous temptations!
The Rosewood family was a superpower in Middle Earth, and the position of family head carried immense prestige, granting unimaginable power.
For most mages, such an offer was irresistibly tempting!
Especially the Ice Emperor’s power!
It was rumored that before the Ice Emperor perished, he froze his power, preserving it for eternity. Any descendant whose bloodline reached an imperial level could inherit this incredible power, enough to shake the heavens and earth, becoming the next Ice Emperor!
Even Archgod would be envious of such power.
It was the pinnacle of all power—who could resist such temptation?
Surely Leslie wouldn’t be able to resist either. Once she turned against Owen, he would be nothing more than a clown!
However, as they waited with eager anticipation, Leslie said nothing. She simply drew her bowstring, and with the pull of the string, a piercing cold light gathered at the bow, unleashing an overwhelming, bone-chilling cold that spread across the heavens and earth.
Everyone watching instinctively shivered.
Deamon, who was the target of this freezing arrow, turned pale, sensing danger. Even the Ice Emperor bloodline within him trembled.
“Leslie! You are defying your ancestors! Defying the family!” Deamon roared in fury, quickly casting his magic. A frigid wind swirled around him like a cutting machine, shredding everything in its path to powder.
But as the arrow shot forth, the howling wind was instantly frozen, and the arrow pierced straight through.
At the last moment, Deamon shifted his body, trying to avoid the deadly strike.
But he was too slow—his arm was hit, and it shattered into icy fragments.
Another God Emperor had been severely wounded!
This single arrow wiped the smugness off Deamon’s face, leaving only cold, dark rage.
His voice turned sinister and emotionless as he said, “You refuse to accept kindness, so you’ll face punishment instead! I had intended to bring you back into the family, but now, you leave me no choice!”
From within his robes, Deamon pulled out a jade pendant and crushed it in his hand.
“An ancient family from the God Realm proposed a marriage alliance with the Rosewood family, and now I agree to it.”
“Leslie, meet your fiancé!”
As his words fell, the entire sky trembled as if some terrifying presence was about to descend upon the world.
Owen was completely stunned.
That old bastard really did it! He just conjured up a romantic rival out of nowhere!
Doesn’t he know Leslie is already mine?
Leslie’s cold eyes grew even frostier.
“I am Leslie, not a member of your Rosewood family. My fate is mine to control!”
Boom!
At that moment, golden light pierced through the dark clouds, illuminating the earth. A translucent golden curtain appeared, layer upon layer, as if welcoming the arrival of a great figure.
“Oh, what a barren and backward world,” a disdainful voice echoed.
Moments later, a young man dressed in luxurious robes, resembling a sunset, appeared before countless eyes.
His skin was pale, and there was an unmistakable air of nobility between his brows. Every move he made exuded aristocratic grace, and the aura around him was that of a God King!
As he appeared, he used a handkerchief to cover his nose and mouth in disgust, before turning his gaze toward Leslie.
“Not bad, not bad. As expected of the one I’ve chosen. You are indeed worthy of being my fiancée. Come with me to the God Realm, and I will help you cultivate your Ice Emperor bloodline.”
“In the God Realm is where those of noble blood like us belong, not this filthy place where pigs and dogs live.”
He extended his hand, like a gentleman, inviting Leslie.
“Who are you?” Leslie asked coldly, looking at him.
Charles Saint frowned slightly, displeased that Leslie didn’t know who he was.
Deamon quickly stepped in, his expression solemn as he said, “Leslie, the man before you is none other than Charles Saint, the son of the ruler of the God Realm and the future master of the God Realm!”
His voice was filled with pride.
After all, the God Realm was above Middle Earth, a special divine realm created by ancient gods. It was rich in elemental power and had hoarded treasures from across the universe—an opulent paradise!
The others’ expressions shifted as well upon hearing this.
The God Realm was a place most had only heard of in legends—a world inhabited by gods and filled with riches beyond imagination.
Many god-tier mages had longed to go there, but none had been deemed worthy by the God Realm.
And now, standing before them was the son of the God Realm’s ruler!
