"Okay, okay, sister Qinghong, what did my mother say? Did she force you?" Jiang Xuan wiped his mouth with the handkerchief handed by Jiang Qinghong, looked up at Jiang Qinghong and said.
"Master's wife didn't force me."
Jiang Qinghong went back and sat down, and continued, "She said you like me, and asked me first if I can accept you, and then said, if I can accept you, then are you willing to get married this month, and must consummate the marriage before the life-and-death battle next month, the sooner the better, so... you die in the ring, and if I'm lucky, I might be pregnant with your child."
"If I agree, Master's wife promised to take me away from the tribe before the life-and-death battle next month."
Jiang Xuan opened his mouth slightly, a little shocked.
He didn't expect his mother to do such a thing.
But... after all, the entire tribe is on the verge of extinction, and Wei Baiyun, as a mother, can't save the tribe, or even save her son who wants to die standing. She wants her son to leave blood, and there is nothing to blame.
Jiang Qinghong said everything frankly, acting like a mature older sister.
Jiang Xuan, on the other hand, was speechless for a moment.
"Then Sister Qinghong, you...you..." Jiang Xuan finally spoke.
"I'm still thinking about it." Jiang Qinghong knew what he meant and said directly, "I've told my master's wife that I'll give her an answer when she comes back."
"Is that so..." Jiang Xuan blinked.
"Can you still sleep?" Jiang Qinghong was more relaxed than Jiang Xuan, and even teased Jiang Xuan.
"I...I won't sleep..." Jiang Xuan said, "I'll go back to the back mountain after dinner and practice in seclusion."
"Then you should eat more, so you'll have the strength to practice." Jiang Qinghong picked up some food for Jiang Xuan again, and no longer took the initiative to mention the matter of "marriage and consummation of marriage". Jiang Xuan didn't dare to mention it again, and could only talk about the current situation in the tribe.
Jiang Xuan could feel how "cruel" this matter was to Jiang Qinghong!
Don't agree? Jiang Qinghong knew what fate she would face if she lost the life-and-death battle of the tribe!
Agree? Her husband died just after getting married, and she became a widow, and she would become a fugitive! She would live a life of wandering around with her children!
No one believed that Jiang Xuan could win the tribal life-and-death battle next month, and Jiang Xuan couldn't prove anything now.
So...
In fact, unlike other women in the Jiang clan, Jiang Qinghong has a third way to go. She is known as the most beautiful woman in Heitan Mountain, and there are many admirers with backgrounds who are willing to "redeem" her in advance. Therefore, as long as she spreads the word, even if the Jiang clan loses the life-and-death battle, Shentu clan will not touch her, but will sell her for a good price.
However, Jiang Xuan knows how loyal Sister Qinghong is to the tribe.
"I'm full."
After dinner, Jiang Xuan left home and went to the back mountain again.
Walking on the path in the forest.
"Sister Qinghong must be having a hard time deciding." Jiang Xuan said secretly. He didn't know how Jiang Qinghong would choose. It was hard to guess. He had always been in awe of Jiang Qinghong. This awe was not only because Jiang Qinghong was a few years older than him and he had a crush on Jiang Qinghong, but also because of Jiang Qinghong's talent.
Who is the first genius of the Jiang clan in the past hundred years?
In fact, this person is not Jiang Xuan!
It's Jiang Qinghong!
You have to know that in a place like a tribe, women can hardly get any cultivation resources, because the law of the tribe's life and death battle requires the tribe to cultivate men. Women have a very low status and will not be valued no matter how talented they are.
In the heyday of the Jiang clan, there were hundreds of innate warriors, but only a few of them were innate women. Not to mention those who married out, just the native Jiang clan women innates. Each of them relied on their talents to cultivate. Without occupying the tribe's cultivation resources, they broke the innate at about thirty or forty years old.
Jiang Qinghong, without any cultivation resources, reached the acquired perfection at the age of seventeen, and now at the age of twenty, she is still acquired perfection.
Wei Baiyun had felt sorry for Jiang Qinghong many years ago. She said that if Jiang Qinghong was not born in a tribe, but in a big family in the city, then with her talent, she might have become a congenital at the age of fifteen.
"Sister Qinghong is beautiful, has a good personality, and has a higher talent than me before I practiced the breathing method! Such a person, but because she was born in a tribe, she faces a cruel fate..."
"Absolutely not!"
In the moonlight, Jiang Xuan walked to the sound transmission stone and pulled out the long knife stuck in the ground, "For mother, for my younger sister, for sister Qinghong, I must practice the ninth style as soon as possible!"
Huh!
The knife light suddenly appeared!
Practice the knife!
...
A few hours later, in the second half of the night
Jiang Xuan stopped to rest. He went into the forest, sweating all over, and walked all the way to the southwest. After walking a long way, he suddenly saw a clear view in front of him. It was a small lake surrounded by trees. The lake water was sparkling under the moonlight. Jiang Xuan jumped into the lake with his clothes on, rinsed it briefly, jumped ashore, and used his innate spiritual power to quickly dry his clothes.
He had been in seclusion for a few days before, and he would come here whenever he needed to wash.
In fact, this place is not very safe. It belongs to the edge of the back mountain of the tribal earth city.
"Jiang Jingsheng is right. You really came here. I thought I would wait in vain tonight." The girl's soft voice suddenly sounded.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Jiang Xuan was not surprised by the sudden voice. When he approached the lake, he felt the hidden person.
The other party's realm is not as good as his.
"Kill me?" Shen Tuyu walked out of the forest more than ten feet away, looked at Jiang Xuan and smiled, "You are the last man of the Jiang clan. During the tribal life-and-death battle, you killed the tribesmen of the enemy clan outside the ring? Are you afraid that your clan will not lose fast enough?" Jiang Xuan glanced at Shen Tuyu. Although they had not met many times, Shen Tuyu was not unfamiliar to her. Compared with Jiang Qinghong, Shen Tuyu was also well-known. People said that she was wise and called her a talented woman. At a young age, she even had a recognized nickname, "Jade Fox". "Are you alone?" Jiang Xuan asked casually, looking around. "Don't worry, I'm alone." Shen Tuyu smiled softly, walked a few steps towards Jiang Xuan, and then said, "No nonsense, I want to make a deal with you." "What?" Jiang Xuan asked. "We get married, you marry into the Shentu clan, the two clans become one, and there will be no more wars and killings!" Shen Tuyu looked at Jiang Xuan and said. Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked strange. In just a few hours, this was the second woman to mention the word marriage to him! Could practicing breathing techniques bring luck in love? It was just a joking thought. Jiang Xuan knew that what Shen Tuyu was talking about was not luck in love.
"You want me to admit defeat? Submit to the Shentu tribe?" Jiang Xuan stared at Shen Tuyu.
"You can understand it this way." Shentu Yu did not deny it, but said, "However, if you join the Shentu tribe as my husband, you will have the opportunity to inherit the position of the tribe leader in the future. As long as you change your surname to Shentu, we are both tribes that have been passed down for thousands of years. Our two tribes have frequently intermarried in history. In terms of blood, you have long been in me and I have you. You don't have to worry about your identity not being recognized." "Although you killed my uncle, my father is still very optimistic about your talent. As long as you are willing to call him father, he will do his best to train you and help you become the tribe leader!" "Your Jiang tribe is on the verge of extinction, and our Shentu tribe is also seriously injured. As long as you agree, we can end this war immediately and no one will die. I can promise you that after the inspector announces the result of the life-and-death battle, our Shentu tribe will cancel the three-day carnival and treat the women of your Jiang tribe well..." "Your face is frozen with laughter." Jiang Xuan suddenly interrupted Shentu Yu's words. "What?" Shentu Yu still didn't hear clearly. "I said your fake smile, your face is frozen." Jiang Xuan looked at him and said, "If you want to seduce me, at least you should practice not to be so fake first, right?"
Shen Tuyu, who had been pretending to be delicate since she appeared, stopped smiling and her eyes became heavy.
"Stop acting?" Jiang Xuan said.
"In fact, you all know that the truth and falsehood of what I just said are not important!" Shen Tuyu, who was already resistant to this matter, simply said, "What's important is! As long as you agree! You can survive! And live well! I can't guarantee that all the women in your Jiang clan will not be hurt, but at least your mother and your sister, it is reasonable and no one will touch them... As long as you marry me!"
"Take off your clothes." Jiang Xuan said suddenly.
"What?" Shen Tuyu was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"What you said, why should I believe you?" Jiang Xuan looked at Shen Tuyu with a playful look, "You should at least show some sincerity first? Take off your clothes, right now! Let me see."
