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.
