In a high-level martial arts game, a wife is given to you at the start.

Chapter 722 Rejecting Jiang Yao

Sensing the sudden shift in the atmosphere in the room, Jiang Lingyun's face paled. She immediately knelt on one knee in panic, explaining hastily:

"Master, please calm down! Lingyun would never dare to overstep your bounds and act on your own!"

"I'm just a messenger! Because Jiang Yao is the heir of the family, she can give us great convenience in terms of allocating these strategic materials and obtaining logistical approvals. She can even directly waive huge procurement costs. That's why I accepted the materials first and informed you truthfully."

Jiang Lingyun lowered her proud head, her tone revealing absolute loyalty:

"If you feel it's unnecessary, Lingyun should immediately refuse her!"

Hearing Jiang Lingyun's slightly panicked explanation, Lin Qiye was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and used his mental power to suddenly help her up.

He wasn't deliberately ignoring Jiang Yao; he simply didn't know she wanted to add him as a friend.

Since his rise to prominence on the StarNet, he has become the focus of attention throughout the universe.

Every hour, every minute, every second, his friend request list was scrolling by thousands at a frantic pace.

Throughout the entire Star Realm and the entire Star Network, countless wealthy family heads, peerless geniuses, and interstellar tycoons want to add him as a friend and climb this level of relationship.

In that massive sea of ​​applications, Jiang Yao's and Ji Luoxin's applications had long been submerged in countless pages.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Qiye nodded calmly: "You handled this matter very well. Since she is so sincere, then I will accept it."

As he spoke, Lin Qiye lightly tapped his slender finger in the air, bringing up his friend request list. He directly entered "Jiang Yao" into the search bar for a precise search.

Sure enough, Jiang Yao's friend request popped up.

"Ding!"

Lin Qiye casually pressed the "Agree" button.

……

Meanwhile, inside Jiang Yao's StarNet residence, which resembled a fairyland.

This young master of the Jiang family, who was usually aloof and revered as an ice and snow goddess by countless geniuses, was now lying on the bed without any regard for his image.

In her mind, the majestic figure of the Abyss King's avatar, who single-handedly suppressed the avatar of the Abyss King, kept replaying over and over again.

It's been two months.

Although two months had passed, and the system had forcibly anonymized everyone's appearance during the Martial God Fire Seed Competition, that face was already blurry in her memory.

However, the domineering power of that man's fourfold martial intent, and the pure divine source that penetrated her soul and completely filled her... not only did not fade with time, but instead, it was like a poison that took root in her heart, growing stronger and stronger.

Jiang Yao gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, her full breasts heaving violently, her heart pounding with anxiety and torment.

Will he say yes...? Will he think I'm too easy...?

Jiang Yao bit her rosy lower lip, her eyes filled with struggle and shame.

She is the heir of the Jiang family!

She is destined to be an empress who will rule over a vast galaxy in the future!

Now, in order to get a man to add her as a friend, she not only spent five priceless heavy display warships, but also had to humbly ask her servant Jiang Lingyun to help her pass on a message!

If those admirers who fawn over her and consider even seeing her a great honor knew about this, they would definitely be horrified.

They couldn't believe that the goddess they considered sacred and inviolable could be so humble and even somewhat ingratiating in private!

Let alone outsiders, even Jiang Yao herself two months ago would never have believed that she would become like this one day!

"But... I really can't hold back anymore..."

Jiang Yao closed her eyes in despair, her legs unconsciously rubbing together slightly.

Without the nourishment of that domineering divine source for two months, she felt that her spiritual sea was like a dry and cracked desert.

The extreme emptiness and hunger that came from the depths of her soul kept her tossing and turning for countless days and nights, almost driving her to madness.

If she could receive that favor again, she would probably agree without hesitation, even if it meant losing her status as the heir apparent, let alone five warships!

Just as Jiang Yao was immersed in the torment of gain and loss, and was on the verge of collapse.

"drop--!"

A crisp and pleasant StarNet notification sound suddenly rang out in the quiet room.

Jiang Yao's body trembled violently, and she sprang up from the soft couch as if she had been electrocuted, immediately turning on the light screen.

[System notification: Your friend request has been accepted!]

Jiang Yao's breath caught in her throat.

The next second, an indescribable joy and excitement surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, instantly shattering all her pretense as the crown prince!

"He added me...he really added me!!"

But then, she bit her tongue hard, using the stinging pain to force herself back to her senses.

"No... Jiang Yao, calm down! We can't lose our composure!"

She desperately reminded herself in her heart: "You are the heir of the Jiang family, the high and mighty ice queen of the main star region! You represent the face of the entire Jiang family!"

"Since he's already accepted the warship and added me as a friend, it means he's interested in me too. I absolutely cannot act like a shameless... groveling servant right from the start. Yes, I must adopt the demeanor befitting a crown prince and engage in dialogue on equal terms!"

Jiang Yao took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the urge in her heart to immediately demand the divine source from the other party.

She straightened her slightly disheveled combat uniform, sat upright on the soft couch, and resumed her usual aloof and noble demeanor.

But how should I start with my first sentence?

Asking for divine resources outright? That's too beneath you.

A polite greeting? That would be too stiff.

After much deliberation, Jiang Yao finally came up with a reason that she believed best suited her identity and was also the most respectable.

She clicked on 777's avatar, her slender fingers flying across the screen, and sent a custom battle invitation.

And a message was attached:

【Your Excellency, I have heard that you have emerged from seclusion. Jiang Yao cordially invites you to a duel. It has been two months since we last met, and I hope to once again test our martial arts skills.】

After sending the message, Jiang Yao clenched her fists nervously, her palms sweating profusely.

She thought her plan was brilliant: as long as they fought in the ring, she could justifiably get "injured" and then have him use his divine power to "heal" her.

Just like back in the Martial God Fire Seed Competition...

……

Meanwhile, inside the StarNet custom room.

Lin Qiye was enjoying the massage from Chi Yan and Bing Yu when Jiang Yao's [Custom Battle Invitation] and her serious message suddenly popped up on the screen in front of him.

Looking at the words on the screen, Lin Qiye was both amused and exasperated.

"To prove martial arts?"

Lin Qiye chuckled and shook his head.

This woman, whose every cell in her body is clearly craving his divine source, so much so that she's willing to use her family's strategic resources to pull strings, is now acting like a cold and aloof prince after they've become friends.

Is she trying to use this excuse of "making friends through martial arts" to cover up her inner hunger?

"Too clever by half."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Qiye pressed a bright red button on the light screen with his slender fingers.

【reject】!
