Chapter 83: Is It Okay to Marry Me?
I want to hold you in the palm of my hand, I want to hide your golden house, and don't let anyone desecrate your beauty, but you have failed my infatuation, this is what Yunsheng wants to express.
But what does all this have to do with me?
In this world, love is the most unforced thing, I don't love you, no matter how much you do, I will never fall in love with you, even if you choose to be together in the end, it is more moving.
What's more, the love for me in Yun Sheng's mouth, with how much ambition he has, only he understands in his heart.
I thought Yun Sheng was going to be angry, or even beat me, but I didn't expect him to come forward and hold me in his arms: "Ah Li, don't spoil yourself anymore, no one in this world is sincere to you except me, they want your heart, they want your life, I don't want it." β
I pushed him away and felt sarcastic: "Yun Sheng, stop facing me with this kind of fake face, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore, who will believe your words?" β
"I don't care if others believe me or not, I'll make you believe me." Yun Sheng continued, "They want your Seven Exquisite Hearts, you want supreme mana, you want to cultivate to become immortals, and all I want is power. β
"And power, I can get it through countless means, I don't need your heart to help me, this is the essential difference between me and them, Ah Li, I do all this for our future, for the unification of our fox clan, as long as I sit in that high position, I have the ability to protect you, no one can covet your heart."
How high-sounding is this, and his ambitions are all for me in the end?
Hah, that's probably the biggest joke I've ever heard.
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Yun Sheng, I used to call you Senior Brother because I respected you and regarded you as my relative, but you really disappointed me. β
"I thank you for bringing me back into this world, but I also hate you, I hate you for pulling me into this great maelstrom and making me unhappy at all."
"If you are really good for me, please let me go, I can never go back to Changbai Mountain for the rest of my life, grow old quietly, calmly welcome death, and live the most ordinary human life."
"One vegetable and one meal, cold and summer, three friends and two friends, peace and joy, this is all I want, nothing else."
"Yun Sheng, you never understand me, let alone try to understand what I really want, where is the love at all, you and I have different values."
"From ancient times to the present, the Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, Yun Sheng, so self-cherishing."
After I finished speaking, I brushed my sleeves and prepared to leave.
Actually, I shouldn't have had a showdown with Yun Sheng at this time, after all, Yun Sheng's relationship with the White Fox clan is there, but what he did to me before made me afraid.
This time it just pecked a few marks on me, what about the next time?
The time he pushed me to Mo Xianye was actually the one time he destroyed me, but fortunately Mo Xianye and I have been around for a long time, but what about the next time?
Mo Xianye obviously cares about my relationship with Yun Sheng, and staying by Yun Sheng's side will only cause more and more trouble.
I raised my feet and wanted to leave, but Yun Sheng didn't stop me, just as my feet stepped out, he suddenly said with compassion: "Ah Li, you don't care about my feelings, don't you care about Mo Xianye's life?" β
I paused suddenly, and he continued: "Without the spirit in my hand, the heart in your body can only be an ordinary heart forever, and without the Seven Exquisite Hearts, Mo Xianye will not be able to accompany you for long." β
I closed my eyes, my heart was very painful, why is it so difficult to choose?
Why is it that even though I've taken such a difficult step, someone is still dragging me into the original whirlpool?
I don't want to be controlled by Yun Sheng, but I can't leave Mo Xianye behind.
Yun Sheng stepped forward and reached out to take my hand, I didn't hesitate to dodge, his hand froze at my side, paused for more than ten seconds before retracting it.
With a wry smile, he said, "It's okay." β
This 'it's okay' was full of bitterness, and to this extent, he still didn't get angry, and he was really very patient.
"Ahri, let's make a deal." Yun Sheng said to himself, "As long as you are willing to marry me, An An will be my wife, let me gain a foothold in the White Fox Clan, for a period of three months, after three months, I will return that soul to you, and fulfill your Seven Exquisite Hearts, after that, even if you immediately dig up this heart to save Mo Xianye, I will never stop you." β
I looked at him in amazement: "Why should I believe you?" Yun Sheng, you have lied to me too many times, and you have used up all my expectations for you. β
"What are you afraid of?" Yun Sheng asked me rhetorically, "Do you think I can't see Grandpa Bai's precautions against me?" Grandpa Bai can't hand over the power to you all at once, and then transfer it to me, if you want to retreat, there will always be a way out, right? β
"In that case, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word and kill you completely?" I asked him.
"You won't, you are the Ah Li I grew up watching, you are kind by nature, heavy feelings, as long as I live up to you, you will never be able to do such a ruthless thing, if one day you really kill me, it must be that I have done too much, you can't bear it, I don't blame you."
I hate him for talking like this, and if he says it harshly, I will not hesitate to go back, but he always strikes my conscience with such soft words, makes me soft-hearted, and he is very good at attacking the heart.
The conditions he prescribed, seriously, were a bit tempting.
In fact, for me, it doesn't matter who I marry, after all, if I want to save Mo Xianye, I can only choose to live for a maximum of one more year, in such a short period of time, there are not many sweet expectations for marriage, I don't care.
And taking a marriage that I don't care about, but it can exchange it for my soul, promote the formation of the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart, and save Mo Xianye's life, which is the most meaningful for me.
What Yun Sheng wants in this deal, as he himself said, is that he wants power.
Mo Xianye returned to the Black Fox Clan, and Yun Sheng could only condense the strength of the White Fox Clan to confront him, and this cohesion lies with me.
"Ah Li, do you know why Mo Xianye has to ask for this seven-trick exquisite heart?" Yun Sheng saw that I was still hesitating, so he asked me.
I shook my head, which no one had ever told me before, and I asked, "Isn't it just a desire to save your life?" β
"Yes, to save your life." Yun Sheng said, "But saving life is only the most basic one, and more importantly, Mo Xianye gave birth to ten tails that year, fought for longevity with the sky, suffered twelve heavenly tribulations, was beaten by the flesh and blood, and most of the cultivation in his body was sealed, but God left him a small life." β
"This small life only has a period of 10,000 years, and in these 10,000 years, Mo Xianye must continue to accumulate virtue and do good deeds and accumulate merits in order to regain God's forgiveness."
"It is his task to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and the most direct basis for measuring the size of his merits is the ghost crystal."
"From the lowest-grade white transparent ghost crystals, to the high-grade purple and black ghost crystals, and then to the seven-point exquisite heart, every level must be collected, and the total number must reach 10,000, if he can't collect these ghost crystals in this limited time, he will be greeted by another wave of heavenly tribulation, and this time, he will never have the same good luck as before."
"Once the collection is complete, the seal will be lifted, and the cultivation will return to his body, so that he can live a normal life, right?" I believe Yun Sheng's words, if this were not the case, when Mo Xianye swallowed the purple ghost crystal for me before, Yun Shuang would not be angry with me.
Yun Sheng shook his head: "Ah Li, don't you know how to sing the ballads of the fox clan?" β
"Seven-tailed and eight-tailed beauties, nine tails fly to the sky, ten tails are made in the furnace, ten tails are sins, tens of thousands of ghost crystals are merits, merits and demerits are offset, and the tenth tail of his Mo Xianye will be dissolved, and there are nine left, but they will soar."
"Our fox clan has been in the realm for tens of thousands of years, and no fox has cultivated to the realm of the Nine Tails, but those old guys have been staring at Mo Xianye, he will be the pride of our fox clan."
"What he wants is this glory, and I'm more vulgar, what I want is power, Ah Li, a year later, whether Mo Xianye will ascend or fall, only in your thoughts, how to choose, you should know better than me in your heart."
Therefore, whether Mo Xianye ascends or falls, a year later, he no longer simply belongs to the fox clan, but Yun Sheng is still the most capable and background in this clan.
All he is doing now is actually holding his breath, he wants everyone to see that he used his own ability to get the position of patriarch, not someone else who doesn't want it and gives it to him.
"Ah Li, we have been delayed for too long, the front hall may be discussing the marriage between the three of us right now, you have to come up with a final decision as soon as possible." Yun Sheng reminded.
I looked up at him, and the thought of me really marrying him made my heart hurt like a pinprick, but I didn't seem to have a better choice.
"Yun Sheng, do you really want to marry me? Marry me, it's really for the power of the White Fox Clan, right? I finally struggled.
Yun Sheng was very sure: "Yes, my purpose, my ambition, there should be few people in the entire fox clan who don't know." β
"Then since what you want is the right, the marriage relationship between us will only last for three months, everything is fake, I ...... Conjugal obligations will not be fulfilled. "It's okay to get married fakely, the power of the White Fox clan is handed over, for the sake of Mo Xianye, it's okay, but I can't accept sharing a bed with a man other than Mo Xianye.
Yun Sheng was surprisingly calm and firm: "You can rest assured, before the 10,000-year catastrophe, I will not break my own body as a child and wade into danger." β
I know very well how important the body of a child is to cultivators, so Yun Sheng's words are very convincing.
Immediately, I nodded: "Okay, I promise you, but I have one more request." β
"You say." Yun Sheng was visibly happy.
"I have to take the one I want." I said, "Integrating this spirit into my body requires a series of complex operations, which cannot be done casually, so even if this spirit is in my hands, you don't have to worry, I will fuse this spirit in a short period of time, and besides, soul fusion requires a certain adaptation period, not overnight, during this time, everything you want, you have time to operate." β
I can't really believe Yun Sheng stupidly, being led by his nose, I have to do everything for myself.
Yun Sheng's eyes suddenly narrowed, looking at me, but then he smiled and agreed: "Our Ah Li is becoming more and more cautious and shrewd. β
As he spoke, he touched it in his arms and pulled out a thumb-sized bronze box for me, and I reached for it, and as soon as I got closer, I felt a chill rush over me.
The cold air came from the bronze box, I didn't dare to take it, but Yun Sheng smiled and said, "It's too brave now?" β
As he spoke, he pressed his sword fingers on the bronze box, and there were words in his mouth, and the bronze box opened automatically, revealing a transparent porcelain bottle inside, which was sealed, red and yin, as if something was swimming inside.
"See? This is your spirit, such a precious thing, I am afraid that others will take it, so I have always carried it close to me. β
I reached for the bronze box, and when I raised my hand to take out the small porcelain vase, the bronze box snapped and closed itself.
I looked at Yun Sheng puzzled, but he said: "Ah Li, if you guard against me, you can't blame me for keeping a hand on you, this spirit can be returned to you, but if you want to open it and inject it into your body, first of all, you have to get my consent." β
Without mental methods, this bronze box is difficult to open, and Yun Sheng is really cunning.
But for me, that's enough.
I picked up the bronze box, followed Yun Sheng, and walked towards the front hall.
In the past, I imagined many scenes of the front hall being in full swing, but as soon as I entered the hall, I was stunned.
It's quiet, it's scary.
In the center of the hall, there is a long table, on both sides of the long table, there are more than 20 clan elders, at the end of the table sitting, is the eldest uncle Bai Fuhu, and on his right hand sit my second uncle Bai Fusheng and uncle Bai Fuxi, the three of them should come on behalf of Grandpa Bai.
Around these more than 20 people, all the people standing were their respective entourages and henchmen, and those sitting against the wall were the younger generation of the fox clan, Yi Tian, Yi Chen, Yun Shuang, and Yun Lu.
And on the main seat, the one sitting was none other than Mo Xianye.
Mo Xianye shouldn't have sat in this position, because the positions on his left and right were empty, and it stands to reason that the main seat should be sat by his grandfather, the patriarch of the Black Fox clan.
But the patriarch did not attend the meeting, and I don't know if it was due to physical reasons.
Mo Xianye sat there, but no one dared to come forward to crusade against him, maybe before we arrived, they said Mo Xianye?
When Yun Sheng took me in, Bai Fusheng and Bai Fuxi immediately stood up, Bai Fuhu patted the vacant position next to him and said, "Li girl, come and sit next to the uncle." β
I walked over as I said, sat on his right hand, and looked at Mo Xianye's side with my eyes.
The black woolen coat that Yunlu took from me before happened to be put on his body, he was a hanger, and he was so handsome in everything.
Yun Sheng stood behind me, not moving.
We came late, there are so many places left, let him sit next to Mo Xianye, he must be unwilling, and now there is only one position left, which is by my side.
But this position is obviously not the one he wants to sit in his mind, his goal is the position where Mo Xianye is sitting now.
So, fortunately, he was standing there.
Everyone stared at each other, and no one spoke first, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
What the hell is wrong with these patriarchs? Could it be that if the patriarch doesn't come, he won't even have the courage to speak in front of Mo Xianye?
After a stalemate of more than three minutes, a gray-haired, energetic old man came out of the ear chamber in the hall, smiling, with a dragon head on crutches.
Yun Sheng's mother immediately stood up and went over to help: "Father." β
I was shocked, it turned out that this was the Black Fox Clan, the patriarch who had reigned for hundreds of thousands of years, and he really looked like a fairy wind bone.
Yun Sheng's mother helped the patriarch and walked towards Mo Xianye, it was obvious that Mo Xianye should give way at this time.
Mo Xianye did support his body, and before he could fully stand up, the patriarch put a hand on Mo Xianye's right shoulder, and pressed him back with a little force: "Sit down, I'll just sit here." β
The patriarch said, sitting down on Mo Xianye's left hand, but this action shocked everyone.
Yun Sheng's mother first shouted: "Father, you are ......"
"Patriarch, this throne is yours, let a hairy boy sit on it, what kind of system?"
"Yes, patriarch, there are no rules, you must not set this precedent."
β¦β¦
For a while, the hall was boiling, all of which referred to Sang scolding Huai's reproach Mo Xianye for being ignorant and occupying the patriarch's throne in vain.
And I still feel cold for the sentence 'hairy boy', Mo Xianye is more than 10,000 years old, what about the hairy boy?
The patriarch's crutch knocked on the ground, and the voice was like Hong Zhong: "Today is just a family banquet, Ah Ye hasn't been back for a long time, it's rare to come back, tonight he is the protagonist, sitting in this position, I think it's appropriate." β
The patriarch has spoken like this, and everyone understands that it is futile to say anything more.
But there was a belly of anger in their hearts, after all, the patriarch did this, reflecting from another side that Mo Xianye was in his mind.
If allowed, the patriarch must have the intention of handing over the entire Black Fox Clan to Mo Xianye, and the performance is too obvious.
"Xuying, I heard from them that Yun Sheng is also back, what about the people?" The patriarch looked at Yun Sheng's mother and asked.
Yun Sheng was standing in the hall, but the patriarch asked in front of everyone, what is this...... Deliberately?
Mo Xuying responded, beckoned to Yun Sheng's side, and said, "Yun Sheng, come and sit on my side, right next to your grandfather, let him take a good look at you." β
I looked back at Yun Sheng, his face was a little dark, but then he walked over obediently, sat down in Mo Xuying's place, and called 'Grandpa'.
One is on the left hand side of the patriarch, and the other is on the right hand side of the patriarch, and the status of Mo Xianye and Yun Sheng has been clearly divided at this moment.
It wasn't until the seat was arranged that the patriarch looked at me and said with a smile: "Presumably, this is the glass girl who came back from the dead, right?" β
"Patriarch, it's indeed a glass girl." Bai Fuhu replied.
The patriarch turned to look at Mo Xianye: "Ah Ye, for tens of thousands of years, you are reluctant to come back to see your grandfather, as soon as the glass girl came back, you followed back to Changbai Mountain, what, are you afraid that someone will rob your fiancΓ©e with you?" β
"I'm a little scared." Mo Xianye replied.
I looked at the old and young people on the other side in amazement, singing and harmonizing, their faces burning, and their hearts were even more tormented.
"I'm afraid of a bird!" The patriarch lifted the dragon's head and tapped it on Mo Xianye's head, it seemed that he hated iron but not steel, but the strength was clearly a spoiling pampering, "If you are afraid, you are not my eldest grandson Ah Ye anymore." β
The patriarch said and laughed, and Mo Xianye laughed too, Yun Sheng lowered his head, and I couldn't see his facial expression at the moment.
The patriarch continued to ask: "I heard that you haven't come back today, so let Ah Zhen send the dowry to your Grandpa Bai for you?" β
"Yes." Mo Xian cherishes words like gold at night.
"Nonsense." The patriarch reprimanded, "How can there be any reason to let your younger brother go to the woman's side for him?" Your Grandpa Bai is not in good health and doesn't come and go often, but your uncle and they are here, and the glass girl is also there, what should I do, and I am taught by an old man like grandpa? β
Mo Xianye was stunned for a moment, but then stood up and walked towards us step by step.
My heart was pounding, and I was vaguely aware of what he was going to do, but when I saw him get down on one knee and take my hand, my mind exploded.
After what he said, I didn't hear it clearly at all, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, my ears were buzzing, and I could only watch Mo Xianye's mouth move.
It was a short process, but it felt incredibly long, so long that a layer of mist continued to spread in my eyes, and it became difficult to breathe.
"Bai Li, marry me as a wife, okay?"
The last sentence, but I really heard it, through the layer of mist in my eyes, looking at Mo Xianye, my lips were shaking, and 10,000 voices in my heart were roaring, promise him, hurry up and promise him.
Mo Xian said before that he wanted Ming Media to marry, and the scenery welcomed me into the door, and now what he is doing is what he said.
"Glass girl, what are you still hesitating about?" Bai Fuhu reminded me in a whisper.
In the White Fox Clan before, when Yun Sheng and Mo Xianzhen confronted each other, Bai Fuhu's attitude was not so firm, and at that time, they should not be sure that they would be able to climb Mo Xianye and climb up to the Black Fox Clan, so they hesitated.
But now, judging from the attitude of the Mohu patriarch and the situation of Moxian's public proposal, marrying me into the Mohu clan and continuing the marriage contract of 10,000 years ago is stable, and Bai Fuhu's attitude suddenly became clear.
Over there, the patriarch also quipped: "Is the glass girl afraid that Ah Ye's dowry is not much, and she is not sincere enough?" Or do you think this proposal occasion is not romantic and formal enough? β
Mo Xianye held my hand and tightened unconsciously, and the smile on his face slowly faded, he seemed to realize something.
I didn't dare to look him in the eyes, so I withdrew my hand sharply, took two steps past him, and walked towards Yun Sheng instead, Yun Sheng immediately stood up, opened his arms to me, and threw myself into Yun Sheng's arms.
Yun Sheng raised his voice and said: "Big cousin, I'm really sorry, time has changed, Ah Li already has a place in her heart, and I am her destination." β
