On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

As you had anticipated, my family holds considerable influence in American due to our high social status and longstanding family history," she continued.

"So your family has a big influence?" Chen Tian asked.

"You can say that, my family is comparable to a count family and has a lot of power and influence in America.  We have a long family history that dates back many generations.

My grandfather was a successful businessman who is obsessed with living forever, and my father

is a piece of sh*t that should be dead.

Despite our success, my family is rotten to the core."

"What do you mean?"

"Hehe, husband, do you think any noble family will not have a dark history?"

"I don't feel like they're my family at all," Emilia said, her fists clenching with frustration and anger. "I can't even bring myself to call them family because all they care about is their own benefits."

"Do you want to know something?" She looked outside the window and said,

"I was never meant to be born."

Chen Tian's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "What!?" He immediately turned to look at Emilia, but her face was partially obscured as she tilted her head to gaze out of the window.

"Emilia, what do you mean by that?"

Emilia fell silent for a moment, lost in thought. Her mind was preoccupied with a particular matter, causing her to delay her response to Chen Tian's question.

Chen Tian watched her curiously, patiently waiting for her to speak her mind. He understood that sometimes it took a while to formulate the right words.

Chen Tian turned silent as he looked at Emilia. He extended one hand and took her face. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

Seeing her face made Chen Tian pissed off. How could someone treat their own child like an accident? It was beyond his understanding, and he felt a surge of anger towards Emilia's parents.

"How could a parent say that to their child?" He said, anger could be felt in his voice.

"It wasn't my mother's fault. My mother was from a commoner family; at that time she was only 16 years old, and she had a great life with family, friends, and everything, but... it all changed when that bastard came into her life."

"The moment that monster saw her, he couldn't help but desire her. At first, it was normal, and he only sent her flowers and expensive gifts, which my mother rejected. There were times he even went to her school."

"So he was stalking your mother?" Chen Tian asked as he wiped a tear that had escaped her eye.

Emilia nodded sadly. "Yes, he was. My mother was young and naive at the time. My mother always rejected him, but that bastard never gave up."

"What happened after that?" Chen Tian asked.

"He destroyed her future," Emilia said as more tears fell into her face.

Chen Tian stopped the car in a corner. He turned to Emilia and gently hugged her.

"Are you okay?"

Emilia took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and nodded. "Yes, thank you," she whispered.

"I just went emotional."

"I will continue..."

"No, you don't have to if it's too difficult for you to talk about," Chen Tian interrupted. "Take your time and let me know when you're ready." He gave her a reassuring smile.

Emilia couldn't help but feel warmth in her heart at Chen Tian's kindness and understanding. She took a moment to compose herself before continuing.

"No, let me continue," she said.

"If you're okay with it,"

Emilia nodded. "That bastard ruined her life. My mother was still sixteen at that time. She was naive. One day that bastard came to her school and told her he would stop bothering her, and he apologized. My mother, hearing that, was happy and accepted his apology.

For the last time, he invited her to dinner as a form of apology. My mother first refused and said it was okay, but he insisted, and in the end, my mother accepted because she thought that he really wanted to apologize.

She didn't know that after that day her life will become hell.

He drugged her drink and..." Emilia's body trembled. Chen Tian noticed and tightened his hug, comforting her as she recounted the traumatic experience.

"That bastard took her to a room and raped her. After that day, my mother's life became hell as he took pictures of what happened and threatened her about ruining her life.

She couldn't go to the police as that bastard had many connection and mother was from a normal family so she wasn't able to do anything.

That monster raped her many times until she got pregnant with me.

He was abusive, both physically and emotionally. When he knew that she was pregnant, he didn't care, but still took her with him to America.

Her family couldn't do anything. And when she finally had the courage to leave him, he threatened to take me away from her. That's why she stayed with him for so long, even though she was miserable."

Emilia's voice shook "Unfortunately, my mother died when I was young.

Lucky for her, she had made a friend in America, and without that friend's help, I-I would have been"

"Stop, I understand." Chen Tian stopped Emilia from continuing. He understood where she was going.

If that friend hadn't helped her, she would probably have had the same fate as her mother, or worse.

"My family is full of people who only cared about interest; even my grandfather is worse than my father as he is a crazy person who doesn't care about the method to accomplish what he needs, which is why that bastard was able to do whatever he wanted."

"Last week I was summoned back to my family. They arranged a marriage for me with a wealthy businessman. Knowing that my family only cares about their own gain, I feel like I have no other choice."

"I love you and didn't want to marry another man, but you always rejected me, so I tried for the last time."

Chen Tian was surprised as he heard more of Emilia's words: "How dare her family do this to her?" For the first time since he came to earth, Chen Tian thought of killing.

"If yesterday you didn't accept me, I was going to return to America with a heavy heart, as I have no choice but to accept this marriage proposal, but now that you have accepted me, I want to stay with you and never leave your side."

"Don't worry, my love. No one can ever take you away from me," Chen Tian reassured Emilia, his hand gently caressing her head in a soothing manner.

"I know, but still, now that I decided to stay with you, my family will probably go after me and try to take me back, as that marriage is important for them."

"Let them try; if they dare to come, I will destroy them."

He knew he couldn't let her family take her away from him and would do whatever it took to keep her by his side. Emilia felt comforted by his words and the way he held her, knowing that she had found someone who truly cared for her.

"We should be careful; they have many martial arts masters and weapons. If they come here, I am afraid..."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine; don't you know what your husband used to be? These kinds of people are just insignificant bugs, and if they come, they will not see the next day, I assure you," Chen Tian said.

Chen Tian really didn't care. He was already in the Qi Refinement Realm Chen Tian wasn't afraid of guns as they would have no effect on him, but the problem came from explosive if he wanted to resist explosive like a rocket Chen Tian need to be at least at Meridian Opening Realm.

If Chen Tian reach Nascent Soul Realm he can do anything in this world as at that time even a nuke couldn't kill him. Chen Tian will be invincible and unstoppable. However, for now, he assured Emilia that there was no need to worry as he would take care of any potential threats.

It took Emilia some time to get over her anxiety, but she eventually felt better after listening to Chen Tian's confident words. She trusted him and believed that he could protect her from any danger. With a sense of relief, Emilia thanked Chen Tian and felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. She knew that she could now focus on other things without worrying about her safety.

"Are you feeling better?" Chen Tian asked

"Yes, you don't have to worry." Emilia nodded and smiled warmly.

"Then let's go to school; we are probably late."

"Okay"

Chen Tian started the car, and they drove off to school. As they arrived at school, Emilia felt different from usual she felt free she finally was with the love of her life and he would protect her from her family. She wasn't alone anymore.
