Chapter 830 - 828: Really
Seeing that he had spoken openly, Lu Tingli was frank as well, dispelling his inner concerns: "Xia Tuanzi, if these are your worries, then I, Lu Tingli, can swear that in this lifetime, I will only marry Xia Ningxing—love her, protect her, cherish her, and honor her. Should I break this vow, may the heavens strike me with lightning and my throne be unstable!"
Such a vow was indeed lethal.
Xia Tuanzi stared at him dumbfounded, his mouth wide enough to fit a whole egg.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected him to do so.
Even though he vowed solemnly, Xia Tuanzi still scrutinized him for a long time, as if trying to determine whether he was speaking the truth.
Finally, unable to see any signs of deception, he could only sigh and warn him, "Lu Tingli, I hope what you say is true; otherwise, even if it’s considered a grievous act of treason to risk beheading, I will absolutely not let you off!"
He gritted his teeth, resembling a feral wolf cub who was ready to risk it all.
Xia Ningxing was his only relative in this world, he absolutely wouldn’t allow anything to happen to her. Otherwise, even at the cost of his own life, he would never forgive the person responsible.
Hearing these words, Xia Ningxing felt her heart enveloped by a rich warmth, moved as if waves of emotion were flooding over her.
Facing such defiance and threats, Lu Tingli was not angry but instead made a promise, "Once I ascend the throne, I will bestow upon you the Royal Sword, with which you may execute a demented emperor or kill a treacherous official."
"Should I ever mistreat your sister, take this sword and strike at me," he said with a serious tone, not joking in the slightest.
