Chapter 442: Inappropriate
Hua Chengcheng nodded approvingly: "I can understand how you feel when you want to find a woman who can resonate." But you also said just now that you admire the demon clan patriarch Mu Huo girl, so why don't you try to marry her?
"If the patriarch of the demon clan and the clan can tie the knot, wouldn't everyone be happy? And in that case, unless the Muhuo girl nods and agrees, who would dare to send the woman next to you?"
A strange emotion flashed in Hu Muhuo's eyes, and Hu Muhuo's graceful posture and bewitching appearance unconsciously appeared in his mind.
But when he remembered Hu Muhuo's proud expression, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and he shook his head lightly as if he was denying his own thoughts, "She...... Square peg. ”
"Inappropriate? Have you ever expressed such a heart to her?" Hua Chengcheng felt as if he had captured something, and it seemed that this seemingly indifferent fairy was not completely calm in his heart.
Who knew that Hua Wuxian still shook his head, but when he opened his mouth, he asked a seemingly unrelated question, "When you were in the human world, did you ever encounter a situation where those high-ranking officials and nobles never took the people in the market seriously?"
The unknown painting was stunned for a moment, but nodded honestly, "This kind of thing is indeed quite common, and there are often people in high positions who don't treat the people at the bottom as human beings, and as for those slaves who are trafficked, in their eyes they are no different from livestock." ”
"Yes, in the eyes of that kind of person, everything about the people is so humble. Hua Wuxian responded faintly.
Hua Chengcheng pondered for a moment, suddenly realized something, and immediately said, "Impossible, isn't it?
Hua Wuxian raised her eyes to look at Hua Chengcheng, and said with a chuckle: "Heh, for her, it's not just me, all the men in the world seem to be ants in her eyes." Do you think you have a way to love a man who has never put you on an equal footing?"
The painting is silent, Hua Wuxian is not wrong in what he said, let alone love, all the friendship in this world, if one of them does not put the other party in a relatively equal position, then how can this friendship begin?
Although she only saw Hua Wuxian for the first time today, after chatting with him for this hour, Hua Chengcheng could already feel that although this man was indifferently silent, it didn't mean that he didn't care about anything, and he must have his own pride in his heart.
That kind of pride doesn't show it on weekdays, but that's definitely his bottom line, and it can't be trampled on.
It's just that I can't figure out what the patriarch of the demon clan, Hu Muhuo, said to Hua Wuxian, why would Hua Wuxian think that he was like an ant in the eyes of the other party?
"Innocent, this ...... Could it be that there is some misunderstanding between you and the Muhuo girl? A man as good as you, how can there be a woman in this world who treats you like a mustard?"
Hua Wuxian did not answer immediately, but fell into a distant memory.
That was three hundred years ago, and the cause of the incident was not out of Hua Wuxian's selfishness, but Hua Wuxian didn't expect that such a thing that should have been negotiated by sitting down and negotiating would eventually lead to him and Hu Muhuo, the two heads of the clan, actually making trouble to the point where "old and dead do not get along" in the mouths of the people of the two clans.
Both clans know that since more than 1,000 years ago, there has been a steady decrease in the number of men or women in their own clan. In the beginning, the number was not very large, so most of the people were not aware of the problem.
However, Mu Fusang, the prophet of the Hu clan, discovered this phenomenon through deduction and informed Hua Wuxian of the seriousness of the problem. In order to prevent this from happening, Hua Wuxian nodded and agreed to let Mu Fusang, who took the initiative to invite Ying, to go to the demon clan and negotiate with the patriarch at the time about the marriage between the two clans.
In fact, the prophet among the demon clan at that time only noticed that the number of men in the demon clan was slightly declining, but because the situation was not serious, it did not attract the attention of the patriarch of the demon clan back then.
Later, Mu Fusang went to the Demon Clan's Ten Thousand Demon City, and told the Demon Clan Patriarch at that time about the situation of the two clans that he had deduced and the evil consequences that might result if such a situation continued to develop.
So the patriarch of the demon clan agreed on the spot, and the men and women of the two clans would intermarry once every hundred years, and if the marriage of the two clans could not be balanced in the future, they would discuss again to shorten the interval between marriages once in a hundred years.
It's just that no one expected that the patriarch of the demon clan six hundred years ago would suddenly fall, and finally her daughter Hu Muhuo succeeded as the patriarch.
When Hu Muhuo first succeeded to the throne, the interval between the two clans had been reduced from 100 years to 80 years, and in the 300 years after Hu Muhuo succeeded to the throne, the number of men and women of the two clans was still declining in a straight line, so the interval between marriages was reduced from 80 years to 50 years.
Among them, the negotiation for the marriage matter is all based on the Hu clan as the initiative, after all, what kind of powerful character Mu Fusang, the prophet of the Hu clan, is Hua Wuxian is very clear in his heart, so the suggestions he puts forward, Hua Wuxian will generally adopt them.
And considering that as a man, he is two or three hundred years older than Hu Muhuo, and this kind of thing related to the reproduction of the two races, it is nothing for him to take the initiative to run a few more times.
It just so happened that as soon as the time passed when the men and women of the two tribes intermarried again three hundred years ago, Mu Fusang found Hua Wuxian and told him that the interval between men and women had to be shortened again, and if it could, it would be best to negotiate with Hu Muhuo to directly exchange several tribes of the two tribes.
Originally, Hua Wuxian already had a bit of a headache at that time, because since the interval between the two clans was reduced from eighty years to fifty years, the envoy who was responsible for leading the men of the Hu clan to the demon clan to intermarry brought back Hu Muhuo's very mean evaluation of the men of the Hu clan.
At the beginning, the envoy of the Hu clan thought that it was indeed his own fault, and he might have chosen the man in the past not to enter Hu Muhuo's eyes, so that the other party thought that the Hu clan deliberately asked for a shortened intermarriage intermarriage, and then he was not so selective about the men who were sent to intermarriage, and sent them to the fish and eyes at random.
But later the envoy found that no matter how carefully they chosen, Hu Muhuo had something to say, it was simply picking bones in eggs, and he was extremely mean.
As the patriarch of a clan, she repeatedly provoked by intermarriage, and this matter was transmitted back to Jingping City, and the strong men of the Hue clan finally couldn't sit still, and began to persuade Hua Wuxian to take some measures, so that he could simply marry Hu Muhuo back and reunite the two clans into one clan.
Hua Wuxian originally admired Hu Muhuo, in his impression, although they had only met a few times, and all because of the marriage between the two clans, he had never found that Hu Muhuo was such a mean woman.
Insulting the envoy and insulting the man of the clan, how could such a childish and rude act be done by a dignified patriarch?
At that time, Hua Wuxian couldn't tolerate the strong men of the Hu clan who came to advise, and he thought about it for a long time. But after thinking about it, he couldn't find a reason to convince himself to believe that Hu Muhuo would do this, and he still intended to do so. Unless...... She wanted to cause war between the two tribes.
Just when Hua Wuxian was a little upset, Mu Fusang came to the door and suggested to him to exchange tribes with the demon clan. So Hua Wuxian had the idea of exploring Hu Muhuo's mind by the way, and decided to meet Hu Muhuo.
Probably because the strong people in the clan still had some impact on Hua Wuxian's advice, so Hua Wuxian took a rare figure this time, and did not personally visit the Ten Thousand Demon City like every time in the past, but asked Hu Muhuo to meet at the foot of Liuli Peak.
When the familiar red dress appeared in his sight, Hua Wuxian suddenly felt the change of Hu Muhuo, the woman's eyes seemed to have something to restrain herself, Hua Wuxian couldn't understand what the other party was restraining herself, whether it was to restrain anger, or to restrain her sarcasm and disdain.
"The patriarch of the Yan clan is really calculating, about the foot of Liuli Peak, with the distance from the main city of our two clans here, no one will really suffer!" This was the first thing Hu Muhuo said when he saw Hua Wuxian that day. The tone is flat and very detached.
Hua Wuxian immediately frowned slightly, in the past, Hu Muhuo had never called him "Patriarch of the Clan" so coldly, even when she said the first thing when they met, she politely called him "Patriarch Hua".
Later, the two talked very happily, and after retiring from the left and right, Hu Muhuo actually revealed her very naughty side in front of Hua Wuxian, and called Hua Wuxian "Brother Snow Lotus" with a smile.
Although they rarely met later, every time Hua Wuxian went to Ten Thousand Demon City, Hu Muhuo called him "Brother Snow Lotus" in private, and he never changed.
It's just that with the shortening of the intermarriage interval between the two clans, Hua Wuxian gradually felt that Hu Muhuo's attitude towards him seemed to have changed slightly, as if he was no longer as enthusiastic as when he first met.
At first, Hua Wuxian thought that Hu Muhuo had found the man he liked, so he intended to keep his distance from him, although he had some regrets in his heart, but he felt that he should not care too much as a man, since the other party intended to keep a distance from him, then he should respect the other party's choice.
But what about this time? This time it completely subverted Hu Muhuo's initial impression in Hua Wuxian's heart, she actually greeted her with such a yin and yang weird greeting as soon as she met and opened her mouth, and the sentence "The patriarch of the Hu clan is really calculating", which really made Hua Wuxian feel depressed that a lump of bird feces fell from the sky and smashed on his head.
