A threat from a Golden Core Stage Cultivator is definitely not something that any Cultivator below the Golden Core Stage can afford to ignore.

Furthermore, the words of the Ancestor of the Su Family did not sound like a joke at all.

He definitely had the capability to make good on his threat!

However, if he were to really do so, it might not be a good thing for either Su Yuzhen or Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun’s only room for bargaining lay precisely in this fact.

At this moment, Zhou Chun, facing the grim-looking Ancestor of the Su Family, gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Su, you’re right. Whether I obey or not, you indeed have the power to make me assist Miss Su in her cultivation!"

"However, if I’m unwilling, then Miss Su would only obtain my person, but not my heart!"

"I believe that such an outcome would certainly be more harmful than beneficial to Miss Su’s future cultivation!"

As he spoke these words, Zhou Chun truly felt uneasy inside.

He held some chauvinistic beliefs deep down.

If it weren’t for the situation being stronger than the individual, he would not have been able to say such words.

However, he did indeed guess correctly.

After hearing his words, the Ancestor of the Su Family’s expression changed slightly for a moment, indirectly confirming his speculation.

But after all, the Ancestor of the Su Family was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. He quickly regained his composure and with a slight nod to Zhou Chun, said, "No wonder you, at such a young age, have become the Clan Leader of a major cultivation family. Your responsiveness is really incomparable, and you do have some real courage!"

"Yes, you are correct. If we were to forcefully make you and Yuzhen practice Dual Cultivation, it indeed would do more harm than good in the long run!"

With that, his expression changed in an instant, and his gaze, as sharp as a knife, looked intently at Zhou Chun and said, "But if you insist on refusing this marriage, then henceforth the Zhou Family will be an enemy to the Su Family. I, the Ancestor, will personally take action to slay you as punishment for daring to defy my will!"

He was a dignified Golden Core Stage Cultivator and would not tolerate a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator defying his will or undermining his authority.

In the Cultivation World, strength is always the most respected.

When a Golden Core Stage Cultivator abandons all decency, even those of the same realm find it troublesome, let alone a force without the protection of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

Truth be told, Zhou Chun never expected that for the sake of Su Yuzhen, the Ancestor of the Su Family could stoop so low.

This indeed left him truly shaken by the Ancestor’s fierce and aggressive words, rendering him silent for a long time.

If he can’t have it, he’ll destroy it!

This Ancestor of the Su Family was undoubtedly a ruthless person. @@novelbin@@

At this time, Zhou Chun had actually broken out in a cold sweat.

He was acutely aware that his upcoming response could very well determine whether he lived or died.

A single thought separates heaven from hell, and life and death could hinge on a single sentence!

His head bowed, his mind racing, Zhou Chun pondered how to respond to the Ancestor of the Su Family.

What kind of answer would preserve his own dignity while not provoking the Ancestor of the Su Family to harbor a killing intent toward him?

After much thought, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the Ancestor of the Su Family, and said, "Senior Su sees clearly. I have always believed that becoming Dao companions is a lifelong personal matter that should not be forced!"

Having said this, and without waiting for the Ancestor of the Su Family to become enraged, he quickly continued, "Of course, if Miss Su really needs my contribution to assist in her cultivation, I am also very willing to help others for pleasure!"

"What do you mean? Make your words clearer!"

The Ancestor of the Su Family frowned, giving him an annoyed glance, clearly displeased with his beating around the bush.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun had no choice but to steel himself and say, "What I mean is, I am willing to dedicate myself to assist Miss Su in her cultivation, but whether or not we become Dao companions should not be decided in haste. It would be better to make a decision after I have truly spent some time with Miss Su and a real emotional foundation has formed!"

"I see, You want to have it both ways, you are indeed quite greedy!"

The Ancestor of the Su Family nodded thoughtfully, a cold sneer on his face as he voiced the inner calculations of Zhou Chun’s heart.

He could well understand the meaning behind Zhou Chun’s words.

Physical Dual Cultivation without the bond of Dao companions is not unheard of in the Cultivation World.

Some high-ranking Cultivators, in pursuit of breaking through to higher realms, will study Dual Cultivation Techniques based on their own physique and the characteristics of their Cultivation Techniques.

Then they will seek out like-leveled Cultivators who meet their requirements and engage in Dual Cultivation with them in an attempt to break through.

And because they either already have a Dao companion or don’t intend to find one, even with the connection of Dual Cultivation, they won’t become Dao companions with the other party; at most, their relationship will be closer than that of ordinary Cultivators.

But that is a practice mastered by high-level Cultivators, a group who has lived for hundreds of years, Cultivators seeking to attain longer lifespans as a last resort.

Zhou Chun, a mere Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, what right did he have to employ such a tactic?

With the life experience of hundreds of years, the Ancestor of the Su Family had already seen through Zhou Chun’s true thoughts.

Since he had no choice but to engage in Dual Cultivation with Su Yuzhen due to the pressure imposed, he could only appease and satisfy his own self-respect with the minor condition of not becoming Dao companions, allowing himself to save face.
