Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One-Chapter 66 - 62 Ten Million Plus a Sports Car

“If you really do like me, I will marry you. But to marry a superstar like you, how much should the betrothal gift be?”

“You know that ordinary people’s betrothal gifts are already tens, or even hundreds of thousands, so how much do you think you’re worth? That’s how much your dad should compensate me!”

“This…”

Li Ping’an’s response was so clever that it left Yuan Furong unprepared to deal with the tricky problem he threw back at her.

Though Yuan Furong’s family was wealthy, their money wasn’t easily come by, so they also treasured it greatly, which made her extremely cautious in answering this question.

After some thought, Yuan Furong didn’t rush to reply, but posed a second question:

“If I truly want to be with you, would you teach me spells in the future?”

Li Ping’an had never expected Yuan Furong to be so ambitious, not only wanting his help with her family’s business affairs but also aspiring to pursue cultivation.

However, this was not a question for Li Ping’an to answer—it was up to fate!

That is, cultivation requires talent and comprehension. Li Ping’an had a great fortune that led him to his current level of cultivation, but did Yuan Furong have such opportunity and talent?

Clearly, she did not!

“That will depend on your performance in the future. If you only intend to use me, then forget about it!”

Li Ping’an casually responded, knowing that there were plenty of Taoist classics available online. Later on, he could just get Yuan Furong to check them out, and if she couldn’t even understand them, she would likely give up on her own, with no blame falling on Li Ping’an.

“Since that’s the case, let me state my price…”

Seeing that Li Ping’an had agreed, Yuan Furong extended a finger on each hand:

“Ten million and a sports car worth three million—that’s not a bad offer, is it?”

“I’m busy with something these few days. Once I’m done, we’ll talk.”

Li Ping’an was obviously stalling, as he was not satisfied with the compensation Yuan Furong had offered. Right now, Yuan Furong’s fee for shooting a movie was about as much as a certain prestigious movie star’s.

That is to say, the ten million she offered was less than one-twentieth of what she could make for a movie. To Li Ping’an, the amount was considerable, but it was too little for Yuan Furong.

Li Ping’an was dissatisfied, so he thought of intentionally delaying for a few days to find a way to ask for more.

“Alright, my father has been waiting for a year, a few more days won’t matter, as long as I have your word.”

“Alright then, let’s all head back, I really do have matters to handle.”

Li Ping’an naturally felt the urge to take advantage of the situation with Yuan Furong, a goddess from the human realm, but since she was so slick and cautious, not acting rashly without seeing benefits first, he didn’t dwell on it and instead focused on resolving the incident with the Six Demons of Five Fingers Peak promptly.

“Sure, no problem, I’ll wait for your news in a few days.”

After saying this, Yuan Furong started walking towards her dormitory.

“Hold on!”

Li Ping’an called out to Yuan Furong, staring into her eyes and speaking earnestly,

“Did you ever have feelings for me?”

“A little, maybe…”

Li Ping’an smiled faintly,

“Then you truly don’t mind that I’m just a poor student?”

“Just don’t mind that I’m a mere mortal, my Immortal Li!”

Yuan Furong shot back immediately, clearly having anticipated Li Ping’an’s question, her response was watertight, leaving Li Ping’an quite satisfied.

“Before we part, can I have a kiss?”

Li Ping’an’s true colors revealed, exposing his lecherous nature; after having flirted with Yuan Furong for so long without getting anything in return, he felt entitled to this request, considering it a repayment for performing the Divine Dream Marrying Technique for her.

“No way, not until you’ve fulfilled your promise to me will you get another chance to take advantage of me!”

Yuan Furong replied decisively.

“Like it would kill you!”

Li Ping’an wasn’t in the mood to indulge anyone, especially women; he stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her in a domineering kiss, as if it was a departure ritual between lovers.

“So this is what kissing a superstar feels like…”

Yuan Furong, struggling to push away Li Ping’an, who was still savoring the kiss, shouted indignantly,

“That was shameless enough earlier, and now you’re being shameless again!”

“I am just that shameless; you said it yourself earlier, you like me this way, don’t you?”

Li Ping’an wasn’t afraid of Yuan Furong turning against him; from a perspective of self-interest, she still needed him.

“Give me a couple of days; I’ll look for you after I’ve dealt with my own matters.”

“Hmph!”

The battle of wits between Yuan Furong and Li Ping’an ended, and she, covering her mouth and without even a goodbye, stormed off to her dormitory.

Li Ping’an watched Yuan Furong’s retreating figure, his mind a whirl of thoughts. In the past, he had dreamt of winning a kiss from Yuan Furong, but now that he had so easily achieved it, the excitement and thrill weren’t as he had imagined.

One reason was that feelings were mixed with self-interest, leaving him uncertain whether Yuan Furong genuinely liked him or was just using him.

However, it wasn’t entirely Yuan Furong’s fault; being a child star, she had developed the habit of interacting with everyone as if she were acting, yet despite growing up in the filthy entertainment industry, she had managed to avoid any scandals or being taken advantage of, which wasn’t easy.

Secondly, the goddess, the superstar, the popular idol Yuan Furong that he had always fantasized about was just an illusion he had created. It was only today that he had learnt what the real Yuan Furong was like.

This was the same for many people; from a distance, they appear as a goddess, but once you get close, once you are together, the illusion is shattered, things seem different, and the flavor changes. Little did they realize that the person had always been the same, it was just that they had added an extra filter to their perception of her.
