After listening to my request, the patriarch looked at me and said nothing.
I was worried that he would refuse, so I added, "Chief, your original request was that as long as Hu Jinyue agreed to marry you, you would give us the shark beads as a betrothal gift.
I have helped you convince Hu Jinyue and he agreed to marry you, but now you have made other demands.
Patriarch, I have done two things for you, now I just ask to get the shark beads in advance, is this not too much?"
While talking, I carefully observed the clan leader's expression. Just as Hu Jinyue said, he was aloof and cold as hell with Yu Chen. There was no expression on his face. Just looking at his face, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
As a human being who has only lived for more than twenty years, I am too young compared to old monsters like them.
I could only bite the bullet and continue, "Patriarch, it's not that I don't believe you.
I make this request to prevent problems before they occur.
You said what if I helped you solve the problem and you ask me to do something else? Moreover, Patriarch, Hu Jinyue will stay here. He is a hostage. I will definitely come back to find him. I will not take the shark beads.
Just ran away.
"
After hearing what I said, the clan leader pursed his lips and chuckled, as if he had heard some funny joke.
Although he was smiling, his tone was cold and he said to me, "You want to get the shark bead first because you are worried that I will go back on my word? Fairy Lin Xi, Na Yueyue pretended to be married to me. After you took the shark bead to save someone,
, and then bring people to rescue Yueyue.
What do you call this behavior? Sure enough, in the eyes of a liar, everyone looks like a liar!"
I was stunned for a moment.
How did he know? And he knew it so clearly, as if he was listening beside me when I was talking to Hu Jinyue just now.
Thinking of this, I suddenly looked towards the room behind me.
The patriarch seemed to have guessed what I was thinking, and admitted directly, "You are right, there is a magic weapon that can be used to peek into the room.
"
In other words, not only what we say, but also our actions in the room, the clan leader knows everything.
No wonder after I came out this time, the clan leader changed his tune and stopped mentioning the marriage with Hu Jinyue.
Because people already know about our plan to fake a marriage to deceive Shark Pearl!
In fact, there are magic weapons placed in the bedroom. This is not difficult to guess. After all, this is the courtyard where the patriarch lives. For the safety of the clan leader, it is normal to place a few more surveillance magic weapons.
What's the use of all this now that I realize! Why didn't I think of it just now? Hu Jinyue was completely unguarded.
Hu Jinyue and I are really more mean-spirited than the other.
I looked at the clan leader. Now that everything was known, apart from being embarrassed, all I could do now was shamelessly get close to the clan leader.
I smiled and said, "Clan leader, please listen to my explanation. Hu Jinyue and I are not trying to lie. Hu Jinyue is worried that on the night of the wedding, if you don't change gender, he won't be able to beat you. If you force him, he won't even be able to resist."
No, I can only accept everything obediently.
Patriarch, we just thought of a way out. If you don't keep your word, we can run away.
But I believe that the patriarch, who is such a wonderful person, will not do anything so coercive.
"
The patriarch's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he had been awakened, and his thin lips raised a beautiful smile, "Thank you Fairy Lin Xi for reminding me.
"
I blinked inexplicably, "What did I remind you?"
"He can't beat me, he can only bear it if I want to.
"
My eyes widened in shock.
Brother! What I just said was not a hint to you to force Hu Jinyue! I have a feeling that I messed up the matter and completely betrayed Hu Jinyue.
Originally, the clan leader wanted to transform into a woman during the wedding night, but now he might not even want to transform into a woman.
Anyway, with his current body, he can still get Hu Jinyue!
"Clan leader..."
"Xiangu Lin Xi, I can give you the shark beads in advance.
"The patriarch interrupted me, "Follow me.
"
After saying this, the clan leader turned around and walked out.
I glanced at the bedroom behind me worriedly and said sorry to Hu Jinyue in my heart.
Then he chased the clan leader and left.
Hu Jinyue, just hold on and I will bring Yuchen to rescue you.
The patriarch took me through a long corridor and finally came to a vermilion wall. The wall had no doors and was very high, as if it was connected to the sea water above.
The patriarch stood by the wall, put his hands on the high wall, and whispered a few words.
As he chanted the mantra, the high walls gradually became lighter like fog, and finally turned into air and disappeared completely.
As soon as the wall disappeared, the scene inside the wall appeared before my eyes.
I saw a large cemetery in front of me! The tombstones were arranged neatly, and there were words written on the tombstones that I couldn't understand. They probably belonged to someone's tomb.
I looked at the clan leader in confusion, not understanding why he brought me to the Sharman clan's cemetery.
The patriarch didn't give me any explanation, he just asked me to follow him in.
Entering the cemetery, the clan leader shuttled between the tombstones, as if he was looking for something.
After searching for a while, he stopped in front of a tombstone, pointed to the grave bag behind the tombstone and introduced it to me, "He is my second uncle. He has been practicing Buddhism for more than 12,000 years. Are you satisfied with his shark beads?"
After hearing this, I immediately understood why he brought me to the cemetery.
He brought me here to dig a grave!
I need Ten Thousand Years Shark Beads, and he came here to find suitable Shark Beads for me.
I calmed myself down, nodded and said yes.
After hearing my answer, the patriarch took action directly. With a wave of his hand, a small whirlwind made of water penetrated the tomb bag. When the whirlwind came out of the tomb bag, it brought out a flickering light with a diameter the size of a palm.
A night pearl with silver light.
The patriarch raised his fingers.
The water dragged the luminous pearl and flew in front of me.
I took the beads with both hands.
It is very smooth to hold, and a refreshing coolness emanates from the beads. It is not a yin energy, but a refreshing feeling, like the wind in hot summer, which makes people feel very comfortable and improves their mood.
Zhai Xiaofeng said that ten thousand-year-old shark beads have a purifying effect.
Now just touching it makes people feel comfortable. This is really a treasure.
The clan leader said to me, "I've given you the Shark Pearl. I'll send someone to send you away now."
"
I looked at the patriarch.
Why do I feel like he is more anxious than me?
I said, "Patriarch, I will come back to help you deal with the problem. Please also ask the patriarch to treat Hu Jinyue well."
"
Speaking of Hu Jinyue, the clan leader smiled, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "Don't worry, Fairy, I will definitely treat Yueyue well.
"
He looked like he was determined to win over Hu Jinyue. The more he acted like this, the more worried I became.
I asked, "Chief, you won't force Hu Jinyue to marry you, right?"
The patriarch shook his head, "Xiangu Lin Xi, as Yueyue's friend, I will definitely let you be present when I get married to him, otherwise he will not be happy without relatives and friends.
"
Hearing this, I had just let go of my worries when I heard the patriarch say again, "Before we get married, I will first make him mine.
Fairy Lin Xi, when you come back, we will hold the wedding again. I believe that by then, Yueyue will no longer object to being with me.
