C1 Let's Get a Divorce!

"Sweetheart, I have to go, he's back. Let's catch up tomorrow..."

Lin Tian had barely stepped through the door when he overheard Xu Lili's voice, tinged with urgency, emanating from the bedroom.

A frown creased his brow.

Sweetheart?

Who was Xu Lili talking to? And why hide it from me?

Without hesitation, Lin Tian made his way to the bedroom.

There, Xu Lili reclined on the bed, clad in a seductive black lace outfit, her fair skin and enticing figure on full display.

Yet, Lin Tian was in no mood to admire her.

He had never seen that lace before.

Xu Lili's face betrayed a flicker of panic as Lin Tian burst in.

But she quickly regained her composure, shooting him a frosty glare. "Lin Tian, do you have a death wish? Barging in like that!"

Lin Tian's expression hardened as he countered, "Who were you on the phone with?"

"You're doubting me?"

"Lin Tian, you piece of garbage, how dare you doubt me?"

"Fine, you want to know so badly? See for yourself!"

Xu Lili's voice erupted like a lit fuse, and she hurled her phone at Lin Tian with force.

Instinctively catching the phone, Lin Tian saw that the most recent call was with 'Yun', Xu Lili's best friend.

A wave of guilt washed over him. "Lili, I..."

But Xu Lili's demeanor shifted to one of cool disdain. "Lin Tian, don't delude yourself into thinking I'm oblivious to your thoughts.

I hung up because Yun was urging me to divorce you sooner rather than later. I didn't want you to overhear and wound your pride.

"Hmph, to think you, a worthless man, would suspect me. Let's just get divorced tomorrow. I'm fed up!"

"I'm sick of seeing you in that sweat-stained security uniform every day."

"I'm tired of my colleagues gossiping about my 'stinky security guard' husband."

"And I'm utterly done with squeezing onto that overcrowded, foul-smelling bus day in and day out."

Lin Tian stood there, dumbfounded.

Tomorrow marked the one-year anniversary of their marriage.

Though Xu Lili had been distant lately, Lin Tian had never imagined she would ask for a divorce now.

"Lili, please, I'm sorry. Just give me one more chance. I promise to work twice as hard to give you the life you desire," Lin Tian pleaded earnestly.

"Work harder? Oh, please. Do you even know what kind of life I want?

LV, Bugatti, Hermes... Can a loser like you afford any of that?

No! You can't. Not on your measly 3,200 dollars a month security guard salary!"

Xu Lili's head shake was scornful, her laughter mocking.

Her words cut through Lin Tian like ice, draining the color from his face.

He had believed that his heartfelt devotion and sincerity would be enough to secure a simple, pure love, untainted by materialism.

But now, facing her utterly indifferent expression, Lin Tian realized his mistake.

In the face of money, his deep affection was nothing.

In that moment, Lin Tian's heart felt torn, yet he found a sense of release—if she didn't cherish a life devoid of material wealth, then why not let her have the whole world?

With that thought, Lin Tian moved silently to the TV cabinet, opened the bottom drawer, and carefully extracted an elegant gift box.

"Lili, this is what I planned to give you for our anniversary tomorrow. What's inside can buy you anything you desire. So please... give me one more chance. Let's not divorce, okay?"

Lin Tian's voice was soft as he extended the gift box towards Xu Lili.

"Smack!"

Xu Lili's hand came down hard, knocking the gift box Lin Tian offered straight to the floor.

"Get your filthy hands off me! Lin Tian, I suggest you drop these childish and ridiculous lies. They're nauseating.

I'm telling you now, give up. Stop wasting your time on me.

Because I've never had the slightest bit of love for a poor nobody like you.

Enough, I'm exhausted. I don't want to waste another word on you. That's it, we'll finalize the divorce first thing tomorrow morning!"

With those final words, Xu Lili turned on her heel, not sparing Lin Tian another glance.

Lin Tian watched her resolute departure, his face etched with sorrow.

He quietly retrieved the discarded gift box, opened it, and pulled out a bank card.

This was no ordinary bank card; it shimmered with a brilliant golden glow.

The front bore no text or numbers, just the image of an imposing palace soaring above the clouds.

Even reduced to a small card, the palace exuded a sense of grandeur and towering majesty.

On the back, a single character was inscribed with artistic flourish: ‘Heaven’.

Indeed, this golden bank card was the world's sole ‘Sovereign Heavenly King Card,’ accepted globally with no spending limit.

Its owner was none other than Lin Tian.

A Super Expert with overwhelming combat prowess, capable of subduing nations.

Under his command, the Ghost Army donned black armor and wielded Dragon Blades, unstoppable and feared by all other races.

Such a figure, who stood at the pinnacle of the world, could beckon countless noble and stunning beauties with a mere gesture. Among them were queens, princesses, and even Holy Ladies of the Church.

Yet Lin Tian had chosen to live incognito, enduring humiliation to work as a security guard in Xu Lili's company, all to protect her from the shadows.

The reason was simple. Six years ago, when he was left critically injured by a hitman from his own family, not a single passerby stopped to help.

At the brink of death, it was a girl who, against her friends' advice, bravely stepped forward to call for help. She stayed with him until he reached the hospital and even paid his admission fee.

Thanks to timely medical intervention, Lin Tian narrowly escaped death.

And that girl was Xu Lili.

Lin Tian owed Xu Lili his life.

With a heavy heart and a sigh, he accepted the truth, "I wanted to gift you a lifetime of splendor, but it seems our love is thinner than a grain of sand. So be it... I respect your decision."

With that thought, Lin Tian reached into the gift box once more and extracted a sleek, ink-black phone.

A satellite phone with global reach.

*Ring ring ring...*

As Lin Tian stepped out of the bedroom, the phone sprang to life with an incoming call.

Caught off guard, Lin Tian pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Tian, you've finally turned on your phone! I'm boarding a private jet to meet you right now," came the urgent voice over the line.

"Qingluo, what's going on?" Lin Tian's brow furrowed with concern.

"Mr. Tian, this is a matter of great importance. It's about the woman who saved your life six years ago. It's too complex to discuss over the phone, but you'll understand everything once you see the documents tomorrow. I've got to go, Mr. Tian, I'm on the plane now..."

"Du du du..."

As the busy signal echoed from his phone, Lin Tian's face subtly shifted with concern.

About the woman who saved my life six years ago?

Was Xu Lili involved?

Seeing the Jade Faced Asura, typically a paragon of composure and dependability within the ranks of the Heavenly King Palace, this rattled and urgent was a clear sign that the situation was far from ordinary...
