Chapter 195: Chapter 187: Consider the Bracelet as a Dowry
Yun Jian: "???"
He suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
What on earth was going on in this woman’s head?
He was from the Human Clan, but she probably didn’t know that.
Just because he helped her cover up a few times, she confessed her liking to a member of the Demon Clan?
This kind of liking seemed rather arbitrary.
Yun Jian thought to himself that considering the deep-seated hatred between their nations and families, the idea of him falling in love with a demon woman was nauseating.
Seeing Yun Jian fall silent, Leng Shuqin thought he was stunned by her bravery, so she softened her voice: "I know you like me too, otherwise, you wouldn’t have helped me. Even though I am from the Human Clan, and you are from the Demon Clan, feelings can transcend everything. Why don’t you leave with me? We’ll avoid both the Human and Demon Clans, and just be a pair of immortal lovers. Wouldn’t that be nice?"
Leng Shuqin looked at Yun Jian with full tenderness, as if she had already envisioned their happy life together.
Yun Jian: "..."
Now he somewhat regretted coming to see this woman.
That way, he wouldn’t have to listen to such bizarre statements.
It was rather damaging to the ears.
Seeing Yun Jian still silent, Leng Shuqin hurriedly said: "Are you worried because you are a Mortal Demon and might not take good care of me? I’ve thought about this problem, but I believe that as long as we love each other, we don’t need to worry about so much. As a Mortal Demon, you only have a life span of a hundred years; at least we can be together for a lifetime in these hundred years."
As she spoke, she looked at Yun Jian with bashful and timid eyes.
Having said so much, Yun Jian should be touched by her courage and fall even deeper for her. frёeωebɳovel.com
Yun Jian looked up, giving her a look one reserves for the mentally ill.
He said coldly: "Sorry, I have no interest in you."
Leng Shuqin panicked: "That’s impossible. If you didn’t like me, why would you have helped me before?"
Yun Jian narrowed his eyes: "The bet was made before the opening of the Immortal Demon Battlefield, and during this period, the members of the Demon Clan can’t harm anyone from the Human Clan within Ling Country. Helping you or not, it makes no difference."
Before the results were out, the worst that could happen to Leng Shuqin was having her personal freedom restricted.
Yun Jian didn’t think he had helped her in any significant way.
Leng Shuqin was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly said: "You’re lying, you just don’t dare to face your own feelings, right?"
Yun Jian grew impatient: "I think I’ve made myself very clear."
Leng Shuqin’s eyes reddened: "I don’t believe it. I know you are just repressing your feelings, just worried that as a Mortal Demon you’re not worthy of me. Don’t worry, I don’t mind these things."
Yun Jian was about to burst into laughter.
This is freaking insane.
Can’t she understand human speech?
He was about to say something.
Suddenly.
A voice that sounded both amused and mocking rang out.
"What a splendid, what a wonderful play."
Who is it?
Leng Shuqin immediately tensed up.
A flash of joy crossed the depths of Yun Jian’s eyes; he quickly turned around and called out softly: "Great Commander!"
He knew that Shi Nian had won.
But not until this moment, seeing Shi Nian standing before him intact, did Yun Jian’s heart finally settle down.
Great Commander!
Leng Shuqin shuddered in fear.
So this... this was the legendary demon Great Commander, notorious for his ruthlessness?
Indeed, he truly was terrifying!
Shi Nian looked at Leng Shuqin with a mocking smile: "I overheard you just now, saying you liked my subordinate?"
"Great Commander, please don’t joke around." Yun Jian was helpless.
The Fourth Junior Sister must be up to some mischief again.
Leng Shuqin glanced at Shi Nian and then at Yun Jian, suddenly biting her teeth and saying, "Yes! I like him! Great Commander, you are not one to thwart a love match, are you?"
Yun Jian: "???"
How did it become a love match!
He couldn’t help wanting to say something.
But Shi Nian had already picked up the conversation, a smile appearing on her face: "As the Commander, I always encourage a match. If you two like each other, I see no reason to stop you."
"Great Commander, what do you mean?" A flicker of joy passed through Leng Shuqin’s eyes.
Yun Jian wanted to say something but eventually chose to keep silent.
Fine. If the Fourth Junior Sister wants to play, then let her play.
Shi Nian’s smile was radiant: "I think you two are quite compatible. I’ve heard that when your Human Clan marries, the man would offer a dowry, and the woman would return with a bridal gift. Is this true?"
Leng Shuqin nodded: "Indeed, it is so."
Shi Nian laughed: "Is that so? Hao Lianzang is under my command, and I have prepared his dowry for him. One hundred top-grade Demon Crystals, plus a set of Magical Treasure and Elixir, how about that?"
Hao Lianzang is Yun Jian’s alias in the Demon Clan.
Leng Shuqin was stunned, her heart filled with joy.
Not to mention anything else, those one hundred top-grade Demon Crystals were already extremely precious to her.
Her Artifact Spirit had been urging her to find some energy sources, and weren’t these Demon Crystals the best source of energy? The Artifact Spirit would only need to convert the Demon Crystals into Spirit Crystals to be used normally.
Leng Shuqin shyly glanced at Yun Jian and spoke softly: "I’ll leave it to the Great Commander’s discretion."
"And you? What about your bridal gift?" Shi Nian raised her eyebrows.
"I..." Leng Shuqin hesitated, saying with some difficulty: "Great Commander, I came here as a refugee, I’m afraid I can’t prepare any bridal gift at the moment."
Shi Nian nodded: "I can understand that. In that case, the bracelet on your wrist looks passable, why not use that as your bridal gift?"
The bracelet?
How could this be acceptable!
A shiver ran through Leng Shuqin’s heart, and she quickly said: "Great Commander, this bracelet is an heirloom of my family, I’m afraid it cannot be taken off lightly."
"Heh." Shi Nian looked at her coldly: "You claim to like my subordinate, yet now all you do is make excuses over just a bracelet. Is this your so-called affection? Today, I have truly broadened my horizons."
"I..." Leng Shuqin couldn’t help but glance at Yun Jian.
Yun Jian didn’t know what Shi Nian’s goal was, but he couldn’t go against Shi Nian’s decision, so he averted his gaze without even looking at Leng Shuqin.
Leng Shuqin’s heart was filled with sorrow: "You... you don’t believe me either? My feelings for you are genuine. It’s just that, this bracelet is very important to me. I really can’t..."
"Oh? Is that bracelet more important, or is my subordinate more important?" Shi Nian pressed on: "In that case, I’ll add another hundred top-grade Demon Crystals, making it two hundred for your bridal gift in exchange for that one bracelet. Surely, you won’t still be unwilling, right? Otherwise, I would really have to doubt whether your so-called affection is real."
Two hundred top-grade Demon Crystals...
Shi Nian raised the stakes again.
Leng Shuqin’s heart trembled.
She desired the Demon Crystals, but the bracelet was even more the foundation of her existence.
"Give it to her," the voice of the Artifact Spirit suddenly rang in her mind: "The bracelet has a Forbidden Technique placed by the master, and no one but you can discover the bracelet’s oddity. Hand it over for now, and when the Demon Clan is not paying attention, I will control the bracelet to return it to us. With the energy from those two hundred top-grade Demon Crystals, your Cultivation will be able to progress to the Golden Core Stage without any delays. Such an amount of energy cannot be missed."
After hearing the Artifact Spirit’s words, Leng Shuqin also breathed a sigh of relief.
She put on a smile: "Then I’ll follow the Great Commander’s will."
She actually took the bracelet off.
Shi Nian tossed over a Storage Bag: "The deal is done."
Yun Jian: "???"
Done?
How did it get done?
Shi Nian held the bracelet and smiled as well.
Now that the item was in her hands, there was no way it was going back.
