Chapter 521 Sister-in-law forces Meng Chuan to agree to marriage.
Meng Chuan looked at the dagger pressed against the Blood Rakshasa's throat. The blade reflected the dim light, making the resolute determination in her eyes even more unwavering.
Meng Chuan never imagined that an assassination attempt would turn into a forced marriage.
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Meng Chuan's Adam's apple bobbed:
“I have Yingdie, and... Liu Qian, I already have two women…”
Meng Chuan hoped that Blood Rakshasa would back down.
It's impossible for him to be devoted to Blood Rakshasa alone.
However, Blood Rakshasa interrupted Meng Chuan before he could finish speaking:
"Since you already have two women, why would you care about one more?"
Blood Rakshasa's tone was cold and resolute:
"The rules of the Thousand-Faced Asura Palace state that anyone who has seen the Holy Maiden's true face must either die or marry her. Since I have been defeated by you and assassination is no longer possible, my only option is to marry you."
From the moment she took on the role of Holy Maiden, Blood Rakshasa made the same poisonous oath as her master.
However, she did not have the same kind of bond as her master.
Her younger sister has not been found yet, and her master is unable to fulfill his vow, so he can only eke out a living in this world.
But she was different; she was all alone.
If Meng Chuan didn't agree, she really intended to kill herself in front of him.
"Rules are dead, people are alive!"
Meng Chuan said urgently:
"Put down the knife first. I...you and Yingdie are sisters, how could I..."
“I look exactly like her. If you can accept her, why can’t you accept me?”
Blood Rakshasa's voice suddenly became low and hoarse.
“That’s different. We’ve been through life and death together, and we have a deep emotional foundation.”
Meng Chuan never considered himself a sentimental person.
It's just that all the women he's met have been too good.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
Liu Qian accompanied her from humble beginnings, and Ying Die went through life and death with her.
How could he not love it?
But the Blood Rakshasa is different.
Although she looks just like Yingdie, she is not Yingdie after all.
How can you be together without an emotional foundation?
"Fine! Since you are unwilling to marry me, and my master is terminally ill, and the power within the palace is deeply entrenched, 'Spider Web' has long coveted the position of palace master. Even if I live, I won't live much longer, so I might as well die."
Blood Rakshasa gripped the dagger tightly, a hint of despair in her eyes.
However, just as she was about to slit her own throat and die, her life came to an end.
Meng Chuan said urgently:
"Wait, if you're worried that Spiderweb will usurp your position and harm you, my Green Gang can help you remove Spiderweb and help you become the Lord of the Thousand-Faced Asura Palace, how about it?"
"Fifth Master is willing to help me?"
Blood Rakshasa stared into Meng Chuan's eyes.
The reason why Blood Rakshasa was willing to attend the Green Gang's banquet was because...
They came with a special purpose.
Otherwise, given her personality, she would never have joined in the fun.
The Thousand-Faced Asura Palace was created by her master through a lifetime of hard work.
The spiderweb now hides malice; she doesn't want the Thousand Faces Asura Palace to ultimately fall into the hands of villains.
"Fifth Master may not be able to help you."
Meng Chuan said with some sadness.
"Then why are you talking nonsense with me? Are you trying to make fun of me?"
Blood Rakshasa immediately glared at him coldly.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that Fifth Master has already... passed away."
Meng Chuan said bitterly.
"What? How is this possible? He was still..."
Blood Rakshasa could not believe it.
Yesterday, Fifth Master was still in a powerful and imposing manner, intimidating everyone present.
How could he have died today?
Meng Chuan briefly recounted Fifth Master's dying wishes and funeral arrangements.
After listening, Blood Rakshasa remained silent for a long time.
The dagger in his hand slowly fell down, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.
She originally thought that her greatest support was Fifth Master, but she didn't expect that her backer had fallen.
"My master asked me to attend the banquet so that he could ask Fifth Master to help me clear the net and also to form an alliance with the Green Gang."
Blood Rakshasa said with a hint of despair:
"Fate is cruel. I can neither answer to my master nor fight against the spider web. What is the point of living?"
The dagger was pressed against his throat again.
Even if Meng Chuan agreed to marry her, she seemed to have no desire to live anymore.
She would rather go with her master than fail to live up to his expectations.
Meng Chuan's pupils contracted:
"Okay, I promise you, I'll marry you."
Meng Chuan said urgently:
"Put down the knife first. Although Fifth Master is gone, there are some things I can decide. It's just an alliance, right? I agree to form an alliance with you, and we'll work together to wipe out the spider web!"
Meng Chuan couldn't just stand by and watch Blood Rakshasa die in front of him, could he?
After all, this was his sister-in-law, Yingdie's own older sister.
Yingdie hasn't even met her yet. How will Mengchuan explain this to Yingdie in the future?
"Are you serious?"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Blood Rakshasa's eyes.
Although Fifth Master is dead, Meng Chuan is still the young master!
The same applies to finding the young master.
Blood Rakshasa looked hopefully into Meng Chuan's eyes and said:
"All you need to do is agree to marry me and be willing to form an alliance between the Green Gang and the Thousand-Faced Asura Hall. I can kill the spider web myself."
Blood Rakshasa is not unable to defeat the Spider Web.
However, most of the elders of the Thousand Faces Asura Palace have been secretly recruited by the Spider Web.
She couldn't handle the consequences of cutting down the spider web.
Spiderweb is alive, and only Spiderweb is competing with her for the position of Lord of the Thousand-Faced Asura Palace.
Once the spider web dies, there will be many more people wanting to become the master of the Thousand-Faced Asura Palace.
However, as long as the Green Gang exists, they will surely be able to keep those elders in check.
Once her position as palace master is secure, all problems can be easily solved.
"Also, before my master left, he told me to make sure that Fifth Master went to the Thousand-Faced Asura Palace. Now that Fifth Master is gone, you need to come with me back to the mountain to see my master."
Blood Rakshasa spoke sincerely to Meng Chuan.
"I?"
Meng Chuan frowned:
“This matter is of utmost importance, and with Fifth Master’s funeral imminent, I need to discuss it with Prince Fu and Prince Bi.”
To be honest, Meng Chuan was genuinely a little scared at that moment.
Even if he were to face the Thousand-Faced Asura, Meng Chuan would not be afraid.
But Meng Chuan didn't dare to go to the headquarters of the Thousand-Faced Asura!
That's someone who could defeat Fifth Master.
Who knows if she will take out her hatred for Fifth Master on herself?
"Alright!"
Blood Rakshasa nodded and put the dagger into her sleeve:
"I will come to find you again at this time tomorrow night."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but stopped at the door, glanced back at Meng Chuan, and looked at him with a complicated expression:
"Remember, don't tell Yingdie about our affair for now. She... is too naive."
After Blood Rakshasa left, Meng Chuan slumped onto the bed, feeling a headache coming on.
Even without Blood Rakshasa's explanation, Meng Chuan wouldn't tell Ying Die so quickly.
The main problem is that Meng Chuan doesn't know how to bring it up with Ying Die.
You're saying I want to marry your sister?
This is ridiculous!
The next morning, before Yingdie returned, Meng Chuan sent Zhan Qi to invite Prince Fu and Prince Bi.
Meng Chuan recounted his encounter with Blood Rakshasa the previous night.
"Absolutely not!"
King Bi was the first to object; he stood with his arms crossed, his face full of vigilance.
"The Thousand-Faced Asura Palace is treacherous and unpredictable. Who knows if this is a trap? That Blood Rakshasa's threat of suicide might just be a ruse!"
At the same time, both Prince Bi and Prince Fu were filled with lingering fear.
Last night, Blood Rakshasa actually came to Meng Chuan's room without their knowledge.
Thankfully, the young master is alright.
If Fifth Master dies, the young master will die with him.
The Green Gang is about to be completely thrown into chaos.
The assassination of the young master at the Green Gang headquarters was a fatal blow to the Green Gang's prestige.
Prince Fu stroked his beard and pondered:
“Your Majesty is mistaken. Fifth Master had a past relationship with Thousand-Faced Asura before his death. Now that she is seriously ill and Blood Rakshasa is beset by internal and external troubles, forming an alliance with her may not be a bad thing for us.”
As he spoke, Prince Fu looked at Meng Chuan:
“Young Master, the Green Gang is currently in a turbulent period with no new leader yet. If the Thousand Faces Asura Hall could become an ally, it would deter the villains. Besides…”
He paused:
"Since Blood Rakshasa is Shadow Butterfly's older sister, if this relationship can be used wisely, it might make the alliance between our two major forces even more unbreakable..."
