"Dong Cailing, I need to confirm with you again, if we can fulfill our promise to you, are you really willing to marry our shopkeeper willingly?"

Xiao Xiong didn't pay attention to Dong Cailing's complicated thoughts at this moment.

“...... I do. ”

Dong Cailing looked at the expressionless bear with a stunned gaze.

Long.

She opened her mouth slightly.

As if resigned to fate, he lowered his head and said.

If there is a choice.

Dong Cailing, of course, is not willing to use himself as a bargaining chip.

And so it goes.

This means that the rest of her life is no longer her own.

But she didn't have a choice.

It's not that she hasn't tried to rely on herself, and it's not that she hasn't thought of all kinds of ways to fight.

Unfortunately, she failed.

Because she is too weak.

She does not have peerless cultivation talents, nor does she have peerless cultivation exercises.

Even though she can continue to practice diligently and steadily.

But if there were no adventures, she would only be able to stop at the realm of the Innate Great Master in this life.

Martial Saint?

Martial cultivation itself is difficult to cultivate, and all the martial cultivators who can cultivate to the realm of martial saints and immortals are not the talents of the heavens, and which ones are not the ancestors of the major sects.

Dong Cailing is a self-aware person.

She knew that her qualifications to be able to cultivate to the Innate Great Grandmaster had come to an end.

But what about her father's uncle?

Her uncle himself was the best of the innate great masters.

This is not counting the three innate great grandmaster elders in the Upper Mountain Villa.

If someday.

She successfully cultivated to the point where the Innate Great Grandmaster went head-to-head with her uncle.

In the end, the person who is defeated and dies will be himself.

It's useless to rely on yourself, let alone others.

From the moment she escaped from the Forest Misty Villa, she had already felt what the real world was and what it was to be warm and cold.

The cultivators of the sect who had a friendship with their father back then would flatter and please themselves.

It's all because of his father's relationship with Lin Wu Villa.

When her father died, Lin Wu Villa no longer became her shelter but became an enemy.

These sects and cultivators have basically disconnected themselves from her.

You can even say it brazenly.

The fact that we didn't arrest you and send you to Linwu Villa is already the greatest favor to you and your father.

Dong Chae-reung is a girl who looks very strong.

She needed to be strong, and she had to be strong.

Everyone has their weaknesses.

And she has always used her strength to protect her weakness.

She didn't know how strong she would get.

Maybe in the dead of night.

The emotions that have been suppressed in her heart for a long time will suddenly break through her strength.

She was tired.

Really tired.

Before meeting the bear cubs.

She could only hold on, hold on.

until you can't hold it anymore.

She would not hesitate to choose to agree to the conditions proposed by the bear.

Didn't he expose his heart.

Tired.

Naturally, you will want one to rely on.

"Dong Cailing, since this is the case, I have to remind you again, the consequences of deceiving us are a hundred times more serious than you think. ”

Xiao Xiong stared indifferently at Dong Cailing Dao.

“...... I know. ”

Dong Cailing was silent for a moment.

"So to get back to the point, we have already discussed the conditions you proposed, in order to dispel your doubts and distrust, before you and the shopkeeper marry, we will help you solve your uncle, and after you and the shopkeeper marry, we will help you regain everything that originally belonged to you. ”

At this time.

Xiao Ming said in a deep voice with a serious expression.

“...... Good. ”

The corners of Dong Cailing's mouth squirmed slightly, and finally nodded in agreement.

"During this time, you will wait for good news in our inn, rest assured, with us, no one can hurt you. ”

Xiao Ming had a satisfied smile on his face.

"I'll take her to the shopkeeper later. ”

Ah Chao suddenly said coldly.

"So fast?"

Ade suddenly looked at Ah Chao Dao blankly.

"Hurry up, or how long do you want to delay?"

Ah Chao said in a calm tone.

“...... Ah Chao, you don't make us mentally prepared at all!"

Xiao Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What do you think?"

Ah Chao said directly.

“......”

Time.

The crowd fell silent.

"I'd like to go with him to see what you call the treasurer. ”

Half a day.

The person who broke the silence first was Dong Cailing.

She still hung her head.

But the weak tone was full of determination.

“...... Since the Lord has no opinion, I have no opinion. ”

Xiao Ming glanced at Dong Cailing more, as if he was getting to know her again.

"Me too. ”

Little Bear immediately chimed in.

"I'm sure I'm the same as the bear. ”

Ade immediately grinned.

"That's easy, if everyone has no opinion...... Ah Chao, I'll leave it all to you for a while. ”

Xiao Ming took a deep breath and looked at Ah Chaodao.

"I know. ”

Ah Chao said indifferently.

"Then we'll wait for your good news. ”

After speaking.

Xiao Ming got up and walked towards the back hall.

Seeing this, Ard and Little Bear all followed at the same time.

Leaving behind the two people on the long table in the lobby, Ah Chao and Dong Cailing.

"Xiao Ming, where are you in such a hurry?"

Come to the back hall.

Xiao Ming didn't stop, and looked like he went straight to the back door.

"Alas, don't you know the temper of the shopkeeper, when Ah Chao takes Dong Cailing to see the shopkeeper, he will definitely pull us to train us again, so I'd better leave first and come back in the early morning. ”

Xiao Ming didn't reply.

"But can we escape?"

Ade didn't have a good airway.

"Anyway, let's get out of the way tonight. ”

Xiao Ming waved his hand.

"I don't want to hit the shopkeeper in the head. ”

"That'...... What about you, Little Bear?"

Ade thought about it, and seemed to think that what Xiao Ming said made some sense, so he hurriedly looked at Xiao Xiongdao.

"I'll go with Brother Xiao Ming. ”

Little Bear said expressionlessly.

"Alas, there is no way, then I can only reluctantly accompany you. ”

Ade pouted.

Soon.

The figures of the three disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile.

The lobby of the inn.

Dong Cailing, who was already sitting on pins and needles, felt even more embarrassed and uneasy.

It's nothing more than that Ah Chao is too indifferent to people, and people can't get close to it at all.

He doesn't speak.

Dong Cailing was even more afraid to speak.

So much so that they have been so stiff with each other.

"The shopkeeper is back, come with me. ”

I don't know how long it took.

Ah Chao, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, got up and walked towards the back hall.

And Dong Cailing followed cautiously like Meng Dayi.

Crunch –

With the sound of the door opening.

When Dong Cailing followed Ah Chao to the back hall.

I happened to see the back door open.

Immediately.

Dong Cailing saw a drunken middle-aged man walking in through the back door with his body shaking.

"Shopkeeper's. ”

Seeing this, Ah Chao immediately stepped forward to support the shopkeeper's body.

"Don't come to this set, Lao Tzu is not really drunk, I can go by myself. ”

Xia Fan casually pushed Ah Chao away, and looked at Dong Cailing who was stunned not far away, at a loss.

"The object you chose for Lao Tzu is her, she has a good appearance, but she looks a bit like a rabbit. ”

Bunny?

Dong Cailing looked at the drunken middle-aged man in front of him with complicated eyes.

From his body.

Dong Cailing didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

That is, it is just a little more upright and tough than ordinary middle-aged men.

But—

Is this middle-aged man who deserves their respect so much really an ordinary person?

"Shopkeeper, do you think she still satisfies you?"

Ah Chao on the side said respectfully.

"The first impression is good, sure enough, people look at faces, as for the specifics, I will let her and I go back to the room and have a good chat in private. ”

Xia Fan yawned lazily, and walked towards his wing without looking at Dong Cailing.

"Go back to your room with the shopkeeper. ”

After watching the shopkeeper return to the room.

The next moment.

Ah Chao turned his head to look at Dong Cailing, and said in a calm tone.

"Huh?!"

Dong Cailing was stunned when she heard this, and the whole person became extremely nervous.

"Are you going to break your promise?"

Ah Chao's voice said coldly.

"No, no, no, I ......"

Dong Cailing subconsciously shook his head, but his words became not sharp at all.

"No, just go in right away. ”

Ah Chao said expressionlessly.

“...... I know. ”

Dong Cailing lowered her head, her silver teeth bit her lip, and finally took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Xia Fan's room.

Until I watched Dong Cailing walk into the shopkeeper's room.

The door is closed at the same time.

Ah Chao slowly retracted his gaze and walked towards the lobby.

"Sit, don't be restrained, do you want some tea?"

in the room.

Xia Fan shook his head and sat at the table, while holding a steaming cup of tea in his hand and drinking.

When Dong Cailing cautiously walked into the room and closed the door.

He pointed directly to the position opposite him.

Dong Cailing heard.

Without saying a word, he came to the table and sat down as the other party said.

"Thanks, no need. ”

"Little girl, raise your head and let me take a good look. ”

Xia Fan shook his head, supported his cheek with one hand, and looked at Dong Cailing with a smile.

“......”

Dong Cailing's whole body instantly stiffened.

But soon she raised her head, and her eyes looked at Xia Fan resolutely and bravely.

"It's okay. ”

Xia Fan looked at it casually and nodded.

He was observing Dong Chae-ling.

Dong Cailing didn't observe the other party.

After all.

This could be her future husband!

This time, however.

She still didn't see any clues.

He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.

"Don't look at it, you won't be able to see the flowers if you look at it again......"

Xia Fan suddenly laughed.

"Huh?"

Don't directly expose Dong Cailing, he was suddenly a little at a loss.

"Before, senior, junior has no other meaning......"

"Senior?hahahaha, why does this little girl think I'm your senior?"

Xia Fan looked at Dong Cailing with a smile.

"This ...... Because ......"

Dong Cailing opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to explain it.

"Forget it, I won't tease you, little girl, are you really thinking about marrying me?"

Xia Fan waved his hand.

“...... Be. ”

Dong Cailing came back to her senses and looked at Xia Fan blankly.

Long.

She emphasized, and said in a deep voice.

"Just because those guys can help you get revenge, are you willing to sacrifice yourself?"

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

“...... Be. ”

Dong Cailing gritted his silver teeth and said.

"Actually, it's too late for you to regret it now, don't rush to give me an answer, I hope you can think it clearly and then tell me. ”

Xia Fan slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"No, the juniors have already thought clearly, or rather, the juniors have thought clearly since a long time ago. ”

Clinker Dong Cailing said without hesitation.

"The last question, and the one I want to ask you the most, is it all worth it?"

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows and said.

"You have to be clear that from the beginning of your choice, you may not be able to help yourself in this life, and you can hear it clearly, it is your life. ”

“......”

Faced with Xia Fan's repeated reminders.

Dong Cailing couldn't help but fall silent.

yes, is it all worth it?

Is it worth her life?

She has a long, long future ahead of her.

But this decision will determine the rest of your life.

Because of hatred—

Is it all worth it?

“...... It's worth it, it's all worth it. ”

When this answer is given.

Dong Cailing seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

She couldn't let it go.

It's not just hatred.

"I've met someone who looks a lot like you before. ”

Looking at Dong Cailing with a painful expression, Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"But he's heavier than what you carry. ”

“...... And then?"

Dong Cailing said with a stunned gaze.

"Later, when he did have the ability to get what he wanted, he also lost everything, all of humanity. ”

Xia Fan said in a flat tone.

"Do you think it's worth it?"

“...... I do not know. ”

Dong Cailing subconsciously shook his head and said.

"Yes, whether it's worth it or not, we don't say it's worth it, but it depends on whether the person thinks it's worth it. ”

Xia Fan looked at Dong Cailing with clear eyes.

"Why do I ask you if it's worth it, it's just that I don't want to see anything like that happen again, but now that you've made your decision, I won't dissuade you anymore, I just hope you can take the consequences of making that decision. ”

“...... I will. ”

Dong Chae-ling clenched her fist in the show.

"Pick a good day and we'll get married. ”

Xia Fan said lightly.

"Huh?"

Dong Cailing looked at Xia Fandao with a stunned expression.

"Do you think it's casual? Do you think I'm going to pity you? Do you think I'm taking advantage of people?"

Xia Fan gradually showed an intriguing smile.

"This, junior, junior, junior, no ......"

Dong Cailing hurriedly shook his head and said.

"If it were me in the past, I might have made a righteous move without asking for anything in return, but unfortunately, you were unlucky enough to meet me now. ”

Xia Fan's smile remained unchanged.

"I will sympathize with you, pity you, and help you, but all this needs to be exchanged for equal value, and all this is all of your own volition, no one will force you, so I have stressed it again and again, but unfortunately you still made this decision, then I am also disrespectful, after all, I just want to experience this aspect of life recently. ”

"I have no feelings for you, and you do the same for me, some people say that feelings are cultivated slowly, but I don't know if I can develop feelings with you, so after we get married, you and I can be described as sleeping in the same bed, at least you can rest assured that I will fulfill my responsibilities as a husband to you, and I hope you have better do the same. ”

"On the surface, husband and wife are just husband and wife, and some things are difficult to say and become real. ”

“...... I see, Senpai. ”

Dong Cailing bit her lip lightly, and looked at Xia Fandao with complicated eyes.

"It's time for you to change your name in the future. ”

“...... Husband. ”

"Tsk, this is faster than Lao Tzu, why don't you stay with me tonight?"

"Huh?"
