This little rabbit-like monster jumped up and down on Qin Haodong's shoulders, and its furry little head kept rubbing against his cheek.
Qin Haodong thought this little thing was quite cute, so he held it in his arms.
At this time, countless black shadows rushed from a distance and surrounded him in an instant.
Qin Haodong glanced around and found that these people were all cultivators, and their cultivation levels were not low. Most of them were in the early stages of integration. The leader, an old man, had already reached the middle stage of integration.
He had never been to Scarlet Flame City, nor had he seen these people before, so he didn't know what they meant by surrounding him.
Just as he was circulating his zhenqi and getting ready, the old man stepped over and said, "He Zhong, the general manager of the He family, has met my uncle!"
"He family? Uncle?"
Qin Haodong was confused when he heard this.
Although I just heard from the old man about the He family's marriage recruitment, he didn't participate at all and didn't sign up. How could he become an uncle?
He asked in surprise: "Old man, have you recognized the wrong person? It's the first time I came to Scarlet Flame City, and I haven't seen you at all, nor have I been to the He family."
"There is no mistake." He Zhong said with a smile, "Today is the day for our He family to recruit relatives, and you happen to be our chosen uncle."
"I was selected, how is this possible?" Qin Haodong said inexplicably, "I haven't seen your young lady, and I haven't received any hydrangea, so why am I the uncle?"
He now only wants to return to Earth and has no intention of getting married.
He Zhong said: "This is my first time coming to our Scarlet Flame City. It's not surprising that I don't understand our customs here. Now I will explain it to you.
In our place, every young lady will raise a marriage rat after she is born. When she grows up and recruits a bride, she will release the marriage rat.
The Marriage Rat is very spiritual, and the person it chooses is the person the lady wants to marry.
And this marriage rat in your arms happened to be raised by He Ziwei, the eldest daughter of our He family, and it chose you, and you will be the uncle of our He family."
"I'll tell you, there are still people who want to marry someone like this."
This strange way of recruiting a bride was really refreshing to Qin Haodong. He didn't expect that the little guy in his arms was here to choose a son-in-law.
The marriage rat seemed to sense his emotions, stretched out its little head and rubbed his chin, as if to say that you are the one I chose."
Qin Haodong said: "Isn't your approach a little too reckless? What if the Marriage Rat chooses someone who is already married, or someone who is seventy or eighty years old?"
He Zhong explained patiently: "It doesn't matter, polygamy is a common phenomenon in our Lingwu Continent, even if you are married, it will be okay.
The Marriage Rat also has another name called the God's Will Rat. This little guy is quite spiritual. His choices represent God's will, and he will definitely choose the best husband.
So, uncle, please come back to your home with us!"
"this……"
Qin Haodong had an inexplicable big head. He just came here for a casual walk and had no interest in recruiting a bride.
Besides, he had never even seen what He Ziwei looked like. He had no idea whether she was ugly or beautiful, fat or thin, so how could she be recruited out of nowhere?
Just when he was racking his brains to refuse, a voice sounded from the side, "Manager He, your decision is too early. The person chosen by the Marriage Rat may not be this person."
Everyone followed the voice and saw a young man in white walking in from outside the crowd.
This man was about 1.80 meters tall, holding a black folding fan in his hand, and looked like a gentle and elegant scholar.
But Qin Haodong could clearly see his cultivation. This guy had reached the early stage of integration.
He family
Being the largest family in Scarlet Flame City, He Zhong naturally knew this young man, Zhuo Wengong, the favorite son of the city lord Zhuo Wangsun.
If someone else stood up and questioned, He Zhong would just kick him out, but the person in front of him had a special status, so he could only ask patiently: "Master Zhuo, what do you think the old slave did wrong?
The eldest lady’s marriage rat chose her uncle.”
Zhuo Wengong waved the folding fan in his hand and said: "Although the marriage rat raised by Ziwei is in that person's arms, it doesn't mean anything. It is very likely that the marriage rat was caught by him.
He is still holding the Marriage Rat, and he will definitely run away after letting go."
Qin Haodong just couldn't find an excuse to shirk the marriage. After hearing what this person said, he immediately said: "This elder brother is right. I did capture this little thing. I will let it go now."
After saying that, he put the Marriage Rat in his arms on the ground, "Let's go, let's go, let's go, I don't have anything good to eat here."
But what I didn't expect was that this little guy had no intention of leaving. Instead, he jumped onto his shoulder again and pressed against his cheek, looking extremely intimate!
Qin Haodong secretly complained in his heart, what do you want to do, little guy? I am a man with a lot of wives, how about choosing someone else?
He Zhong knew Zhuo Wengong's thoughts very well. This guy just fell in love with his own girl, but the He family did not agree with this marriage.
"Sir, you have also seen that the meaning of the Marriage Rat is very obvious, and it was not captured by my uncle."
"Why are you so anxious? It's only a little while ago, maybe it will come to me soon."
Zhuo Wengong said as he took out a small fiery red fruit, which exuded a rich aroma as soon as he took it out.
"Little one, come to my master. This blood-striped red fruit is yours!"
He Zhong's expression changed drastically. He knew very well what the blood-striped red fruit was. This fruit had a rich aroma and was extremely attractive to any monster.
According to the customs of Scarlet Flame City, choosing a husband depends entirely on God's will. Now Zhuo Wengong is using the blood-striped pearl fruit to seduce the marriage rat, which is obviously cheating.
But he was just a servant of the He family, and the other party was the son of the city lord. There was such a huge difference in status between the two that it was hard to say anything.
Just as he was thinking about whether to invite his master over, he saw that the marriage rat just glanced at the blood-striped red fruit and didn't show much interest. It was still jumping up and down on Qin Haodong's shoulders.
"this……"
The pride on Zhuo Wengong's face disappeared. This blood-striped red fruit was extremely rare. He had spent tens of thousands of top-quality spiritual stones to get it, just to seduce this little thing in front of him.
He has done many experiments before. The other monsters salivated immediately after seeing this fruit, but I don't know why the Marriage Rat dismissed it. Or is there something more attractive to it in that person?
Seeing the scene in front of him, He Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the best result and saves a lot of trouble. The He family does not want to have a conflict with the city lord unless it is absolutely necessary.
Zhuo Wengong threw the blood-striped red fruit to the ground and said angrily: "No, there must be something on this kid, otherwise the Marriage Rat wouldn't be like this."
Qin Haodong has a black line on his end. If he can cheat, he can only find a way to drive this little guy away.
You regard that young lady seeking marriage as a treasure, but I only regard her as a big trouble.
He Zhong said: "My eldest son, you are wrong to say that. According to our rules in Red Flame City, we only look at the choice of the Marriage Rat, and it has nothing to do with anything else.
As long as the Karma Rat chooses someone, he will be our uncle of the He family."
"you……"
Zhuo Wengong turned red with anger, and then shouted: "Follow the rules, right? Then I will challenge this kid now."
!”
"Challenge?" He Zhong's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Eldest Young Master, please think twice. Although our ancestors have rules for challenging, no one has used it for many years. Do you have to think about the consequences?"
Zhuo Wengong shouted: "Don't think about it, I don't believe that I can't compare to such a country bumpkin!"
"Well, now that the young master has decided, I will send someone to ask the eldest lady to host this challenge."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a servant next to him quickly flew away.
Qin Haodong said: "Old man, what is this challenge about?"
He Zhong explained: "According to the rules of our ancestors, although the marriage rat has chosen my uncle, if anyone is dissatisfied, he can directly challenge him.
For example, the current Mr. Zhuo, as long as he wins the challenge, he will become the new uncle of our He family.
The rules of the challenge are agreed upon by both parties, and the final result is judged by the eldest lady.
Of course, the results of the eldest lady's judgment must also be fair, otherwise we will not be able to gain a foothold in Chiyan City in the future."
Qin Haodong looked happy after hearing this, "No need to judge, I just admit defeat, okay?"
"Well……"
There was a black line on He Zhong's head. Others were eager to think of the He family as a aunt, but the person in front of them seemed to be unable to avoid him. It was really strange.
He said: “The reason why this kind of challenge has not been used for decades is because the results are too harsh.
If my uncle fails the challenge, he will be beheaded on the spot to show that we can preserve the chastity of our eldest lady!"
"I'll tell you, who made these rules?"
When he heard that he would lose his life if he lost, Qin Haodong waved his hand and said, "Forget it then."
Although he didn't want to accept this marriage, it was still better than losing his life.
It's not like he never thought about finding an opportunity to escape, but He Zhong and the servants surrounded him tightly, as if they were on guard against this attack. It was not easy to leave. It seemed that he would have to wait and find opportunities later.
He asked again: "What if I win? What's the price for the other party? There won't be any punishment. That way I can challenge if I don't want to, and I won't have to do anything else."
"Of course not." He Zhong said, "According to the rules of our ancestors, the one who fails in the challenge will be a slave for life."
Qin Haodong clicked his tongue. The price was high enough. No wonder no one has challenged him for so many years.
The question now is, Zhuo Wengong risked such a big price to challenge himself. Does it mean that he looks like a soft persimmon?
Just as they were calculating, several figures came rushing from a distance, led by a woman wearing a bright red wedding robe, who was He Ziwei, the eldest daughter of the He family.
Although he had seen many beauties, Qin Haodong still felt a little surprised when he saw He Ziwei.
Not only does this woman have a pretty face that is so exquisite that no flaws can be found, she also has a figure that is convex and backward, and the devil can't be more devilish.
Especially those two long, slender and straight legs, they are simply more perfect than the ones in the p picture.
After seeing her, I understood why Zhuo Wengong had to challenge himself despite the danger of being a slave for life. The temptation of this woman was really too great.
"Miss, are you here?"
He Zhong immediately greeted him.
He Ziwei nodded, and then asked: "What's going on? Why did you ask me to come?"
"It's like this. This Young Master Qin has been favored by the Marriage Rat and has become the new uncle of our He Mansion." He Zhong pointed at Qin Haodong and said, "But Young Master Zhuo felt unconvinced, so he issued a challenge. That's why I asked the big brother
Miss, come and preside over it."
He Ziwei looked in the direction of He Zhong's finger and saw a handsome and majestic young man standing there, and she couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart.
