If there is a reward, then Zhen will have no doubts.
He took out the black paper that appeared in his inventory.
Instantly, the paper appeared in his hand, containing red writing with a thumbprint made from faintly visible blood, emanating an aura of someone.
(In this promise, I, Zhu Yueli, vow to fulfill every right of my husband after we are officially married!)
Zhen himself was startled when he saw the paper.
Due to the paper's appearance, everyone's attention immediately shifted to it, including Zhu Long, who had initially intended to scold Yu Ming.
"Look at this," Zhen said, showing the contents of the paper to Yu Ming and the others.
DING!
(You have obtained 20 System Points, 3% Comprehension for each scripture and technique, and advanced to the Third Stage of the Spiritual Master Realm!)
(Since your advancement is a reward from the System, you will not receive any additional rewards except those already promised, including a 1% increase in Comprehension for Sword Slash and Gravity Domain!)

Zhen read his latest statistics while Yu Ming and the others read the black paper in his hands.
One by one, they showed expressions of surprise, including Zhu Long.
The latter even rubbed his eyes as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"This is truly my older sister's writing and aura," he said, causing Yu Ming, who had been about to accuse Zhen of lying with a fake blood pact, to close his slightly open mouth.
Everyone's aura is different. If there is an aura from the name written in the blood pact, then it is definitely genuine.
It is recorded by the laws of heaven and earth. Even if the contract is lost, it will not affect its validity.
Due to Yu Ming and the others' shock, the people around them began to take notice.
They approached and looked at the black paper Zhen was holding.
"Is this a blood pact?" they asked.
"Is this the blood pact from Lady Zhu? Is it genuine?"
"It seems genuine."
"How could Lady Zhu make such a pact?"
As their voices grew louder, Zhu Clan Master and his wife, who were quite far away, couldn't help but come over.
"What?" Xu Rao, who was reading the contents of the pact, nearly stumbled, pointing at Zhen with a trembling hand.
"You, you," she said with a trembling voice.
"Call Yueli," Zhu Clan Master said to an elderly woman in a firm tone.
The latter quickly ran to the largest house in the clan.
"Boy, what evil trick did you use to make this happen? Yueli just arrived yesterday and has never met you. You must have used an evil trick," Xu Rao said loudly.
Her aura began to emanate from her body due to her anger.
Her thoughts were logical. There should be no chance for Zhen to have met Zhu Yueli. Zhu Yueli hadn't even met anyone since she returned. She had only been cultivating in her room. How could something like this appear in his hands?
Zhen only smiled, saying nothing.
He was merely curious about Zhu Yueli's reaction after seeing the agreement.
How the System created it didn't matter. What mattered was that it was genuine and would influence Zhu Yueli.
"Lady Zhu!" Someone suddenly called out the woman's name.
Everyone immediately turned their gaze toward the door of her house, only to find a woman with an otherworldly charm.
She had a very pure gaze and an indescribable figure in a light blue dress that couldn't hide her beauty.
Her skin was as white as snow, while her long black hair seemed untouched by dust.
Her face didn't need to be described because she was wearing a white veil that covered part of her face, from below her eyes to her chin.
Xia Zhen had seen her face before, which made him unwilling to call off the wedding, but since it was only a memory, it was somewhat blurry in Zhen's mind.
Of course, it wasn't surprising that she had become so beautiful.
Covering her face with a veil wasn't just a pretentious act of piety, but a necessity to prevent more people from falling head over heels for her.
'She truly has the aura of a heroine, an aura that will make the main character a simpleton whose entire life is complicated by her, but she will only accept the main character at the end of the story,' thought Zhen.
He could guess that Zhu Yueli wasn't the type to humiliate the main character, like asking for the marriage to be canceled and then marrying another man.
She wasn't like that, but her very existence would be the primary cause of the main character's suffering.
The main character had to face her clan, her sect, her master, and the men who also desired her.
If the heroin was a woman like this, then the entire journey of the main character would be to prove to her and the entire world that he was worthy of her.
'But hey, I won't suffer like that. She'll be my wife absolutely from the start,' Zhen thought with a smile.
If this woman always accompanies him in his room, facing the world won't feel heavy.
And he won't let her leave his side.
Because she's bound by a blood pact with him; no one can force her to leave him.
Zhu Yueli immediately walked toward Zhen's table where everyone was gathered.
Her expression remained calm, as if she wasn't facing any problems.
"Young Master, I am your secret protector. At this moment, there is someone quite powerful watching you with the intent to kill. Do you want me to capture this person? I can do so without causing a commotion." Suddenly, Zhen heard a very pleasant female voice in his head.
He couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing it, not expecting his secret protector to be a woman.
Only her voice could make him realize that she was extremely beautiful.
This was a form of telepathic communication that could only be used by Upper Realm Cultivators. And Zhen could sense that he could send messages back with his thoughts.
