Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3413: Untitled

Chapter 3413: Unt.i.tled

Black Jack noticed Theresa’s hesitation.

As if he had been deceived, he felt even more inferior and angry.

Countless tentacles tied up his body and his soul like black flames again, making his face even more hideous.

“See? I knew you were lying. The real Theresa would never fall in love with the real Black Jack!”

He screamed in desperation.

Theresa shuddered and had gooseb.u.mps all over her body.

“Dear heaven and earth, even if I, Mr. Han Te, have to accept the test of destiny in order to become a real man, why is it such an outrageous test? I don’t want it, sob sob sob…”

Theresa wanted to cry.

Seeing that Black Jack’s soul was about to be controlled by the devouring beast again, Theresa had no choice but to say, “It’s—it’s not like that. If they were lying to you, they could’ve just said ‘I like you’. But I can’t say that, because, well, because I’m a man who takes relations.h.i.+ps very seriously. I have to examine my heart and figure out our relations.h.i.+p!”

“Is—is that so?”

Black Jack seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope in the dark abyss. His real soul crawled out of the tentacles of the Devourer again. He asked in great expectation, “Then, will you fall in love with the real me, a humble, poor, and weak mercenary?”

Theresa was lost for words.

She was faced with the most dangerous battle in her life. One word wrong, and not only her own life, the entire Emerald Continent, the entire Emerald Universe, and even the Pangu Universe might be faced with an unimaginable catastrophe.

In that moment, the cla.s.sic picture of Master Yao convincing the enemy with his glib tongue popped up in Theresa’s head.

“I… am not a random girl.”

After much deliberation, before Black Jack lost his patience, Theresa finally opened her mouth cautiously and said, one word after another, “I’m very serious about relations.h.i.+ps. I’ll be loyal to you until I die.

“If I say that I ‘love’ someone, it means that my love cannot be extinguished even if I pour all the water in the sea of stars into it.

“If I said ‘I love you’ so easily after only a few days of living with you and not even seeing your real face, don’t you think that it would be disrespectful to love?

Black Jack was dazed for a moment.

Theresa kept talking about ‘love’. She seemed to be talking about a lot of things, but he did not understand any of them. He felt that there was still hope for him. He stammered, “What—what does that mean? Is it possible that you fell in love with the real Black Jack?”

“How annoying!”

Two streaks of redness appeared on Theresa’s face. She bit her lips in embarra.s.sment and played with the corner of her clothes that were made of liquid metal. She said softly, “I’m a pure girl. I don’t have any experience in dealing with boys at all. It’s already embarra.s.sing enough that I talked so much. Do you have to get to the bottom of it?”

“Oh, oh oh!”

Black Jack scratched his head hard. No matter how the tentacles on his back hissed and wriggled, they could not attack Theresa again.

“I can only say that I admire men who are honorable and courageous. I admire heroes who are bold enough to declare war on fate and the entire universe!

Theresa looked at Black Jack, her eyes glittering with expectation. “If you are such a man, I’m willing to fight side by side with you and face all the evil temptations and threats. We can start as good friends. Chances are that we will evolve into brothers who will live and die together!”

“Good friend, good brother?” Black Jack felt a bit weird.

Theresa’s cheeks were burning. She bit her lips and glared at Black Jack. “Let’s take it slow. Don’t be so hasty. At least show me your true face!”

“I…”

The questions circled around and came back to this point. Black Jack lowered his head in embarra.s.sment and said, “The real me is very ugly.”

“What’s there to be scared of? The most important thing for a man is to have substance!”

Theresa encouraged him in a loud voice, “In my hometown, there’s a hero whose surname is Li and whose name is Yao. He’s also unattractive, slovenly, and somewhat sleazy, but that doesn’t stop him from conquering hundreds of planets… conquering hundreds of towns without exception. He even married the most beautiful, uh, the strongest girl in my hometown.

“Black Jack, oh Black Jack. Let me tell you something. There are many girls in the world who don’t care about what a man looks like. But no girl will like a weak man. If you are still a man and you want me to think highly of you, get out of the control of the Devourer right now and show me the will and courage of the real Black Jack!”

“I… am not… a coward!”

Theresa’s words pierced into Black Jack’s soul like burning iron.

Holding his head, he crouched and screamed desperately.

All the tentacles on his back suddenly straightened up. Burning crimson strength surged out of his body and drowned the tentacles like an uncontrollable flood.

The tentacles hissed, wriggled, and struggled like earthworms exposed to sunlight.

Then, many of the tentacles broke off!

“Black Jack…”

Even Theresa did not expect that the real Black Jack could wield such immense willpower.

If one were to say that the speech just now was mostly a word game and did not contain too much true feelings…

Right now, Theresa was truly awed by Black Jack’s soul and sincerely wanted to be his… brother.

As Black Jack’s soul fire spread out, countless tentacles cracked and broke apart.

The harem that had been controlled by the Devourer, including Hela the dragoness and Natasha, were finally freed.

They woke up from their nightmare with pale faces. They stood up in a trance and stared at Black Jack with complicated feelings.

Black Jack’s face was pale. There were a lot of wrinkles, acne, and acne on his face. He was no longer as handsome and confident as before. Even his temperament had become mediocre and wretched. He avoided eye contact with the girls who had been fooled by him.

BOOM!

Natasha, captain of the mercenary group, was the most aggressive one. Despite her weakness, she gritted her teeth and slashed an intimidating aura at Black Jack.

“No!”

Theresa hurried to block. The liquid metal armor turned into a silver brightness and helped Black Jack block Natasha’s attack.

“Teresa, why did you do that?”

Natasha was more than infuriated. “He lied to us, and you are still helping him?”

“Black Jack is not lying to us, but the Devourer. Right now, Black Jack is engaged in the most intense battle with the Devourer. If we attack Black Jack instead of giving him a chance, his soul will be obliterated and he will become the Devourer’s puppet!”

Theresa bellowed, “Once the Devourer completely takes control of Black Jack again and returns to its previous form, n.o.body will be able to tame this Lord Devourer!”

“Well…”

Natasha and her harem were hesitating.

“It was not until this moment that I realized that the key to the war was neither you nor me. If there had to be a hero at the end of the journey, it could only be Black Jack himself!

Theresa turned around and looked at Black Jack expectantly. She said resolutely, one word after another, “Only one person can reverse the situation. Only one person can kill the Devourer. Only one person can be the hero who saves the Emerald Continent. Black Jack, that’s you!”

“I…”

Black Jack did not expect that Theresa would believe him and defend him at such a critical moment.

His eyes were burning as hot tears flowed out.

“Come on, Black Jack. Let’s bet that you are a real man and a real hero!”

While she was talking, Theresa dropped her weapon and released the liquid metal armor on her body. She opened her eyes and encouraged Black Jack with a smile. “I bet that you will defeat the Devourer and become the greatest hero in the hearts of all the girls here. If you fail, I will accept my failure and die with you!”

“What?”

All the girls were shocked.

No one had expected that Theresa would be so crazy.

Black Jack’s soul couldn’t have been more shocked. He couldn’t believe his ears. He shouted hoa.r.s.ely, his voice shaking, “Why are you willing to believe me when I’m such a disgrace? You must know that I used to—”

“Don’t be silly. Who hasn’t?”

Theresa was still smiling casually. There was confidence in her eyes. She said softly, “However, when a man is willing to take back his destiny, the billions of stars in the universe will make way for him!
