Chapter 277 You have to marry even if you don’t want to! (Ch 277)

“My father also said that the Beastman King is the most selfish being. His talent is actually very poor. He relies entirely on the Ten Thousand Demon Rock to barely maintain his life and ninth-level strength.”

There was a barely perceptible hint of resentment in Ah Zhan’s tone.

“He doesn’t care about the lives of other people in the realm at all. No matter how talented a person is, he can’t avoid the fate of being drained.” Ah Zhan finally sighed heavily, his tone heavy.

Sure enough, these two sentences from Ah Zhan completely verified Mo Yingchen’s previous guess.

……

Several people were chatting casually.

Suddenly, a voice called out from outside the house, “A Zhan, are you home?”

“Yes, please come in.” A Zhan replied.

The person who walked into the room was a man in his thirties, thin in build but dressed in cloth.

It stands out in this tribe wrapped in animal skins.

The people here usually cover themselves with rough animal skins to keep warm.

The small amount of cloth obtained from the beastmen will be carefully made into underwear and worn close to the body.

Being able to wear cloth clothes outside is enough to show the identity and status of the person.

The visitor glanced at the three people in the room, his eyes finally fell on A Zhan, and his tone carried a hint of routine.

“Is A-Lian here? The clan leader wants you to come over.”

Ah Zhan’s originally relaxed expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Silence spread in the room and the atmosphere froze.

After a while, Ah Zhan finally responded in a low voice, “Yeah.”

He turned to the inner room and shouted into the air.

“Alian, let’s go and meet the clan leader again.”

There was a barely perceptible hint of helplessness in his tone.

After a while, A Lian came out from the inner room with slightly red eyes.

When he heard that he had to meet the patriarch again, the resistance and sadness in his eyes almost overflowed.

But after hearing what her brother said, she still walked out obediently.

Mo Yingchen had been silently observing their reactions, from the appearance of the middle-aged man to the sudden change in Ah Zhan and Ah Lian’s expressions.

Thinking back to the scene of A-Lian secretly crying on the day he woke up, he had a vague guess in his heart.

“I’ll go with you.” Mo Yingchen suddenly spoke.

“After living in the tribe for so long, it’s time to pay a visit to the tribe leader.”

Ah Zhan was shocked when he heard this and quickly waved his hands.

“No need, Ah Chen, you haven’t fully recovered yet, just rest at home. Ah Lian and I will go, and we will be back soon.”

He persuaded eagerly, with obvious rejection in his eyes, as if he didn’t want Mo Yingchen to get involved.

Mo Yingchen did not back down, but just looked at A Zhan quietly, his eyes calm and firm.

Ah Zhan dodged Mo Yingchen’s gaze and was eventually defeated.

He took a deep breath and said helplessly, “Okay, since you want to go, let’s go together. But after you go, remember not to talk nonsense.”

It sounded like a warning, but also like a request.

The corners of Mo Yingchen’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a soothing smile.

“Don’t worry, I understand.”

……

The three followed the middle-aged man to the patriarch’s “office”.

It is called an office, but in fact it is just a slightly spacious wooden house in the tribe.

Compared to the simple thatched houses around it, the materials used in this wooden house are slightly more exquisite.

There is also a symbolic wooden sign hanging at the door, which serves as a sign to distinguish it from ordinary houses.

The middle-aged man walked to the door of the wooden house and bowed to a fat man in the middle of the house.

“Master Patriarch, the people have been brought here.”

The fat man was half lying on the chair.

After hearing the report, he waved his hand casually.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man bowed and stepped aside.

The fat man glanced at Mo Yingchen with a hint of doubt in his eyes and looked him up and down.

“Who is this?”

Mo Yingchen took a step forward and clasped his fists slightly, with an attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

“Chief Aqiu, my name is Mo Yingchen, and I am the person that Azhan rescued from the wilderness.”

“Thanks to the unstinting care of A-Zhan and A-Lian, I can recover here in peace.”

“I heard that the tribe leader summoned them today, so I came to meet him to thank the tribe for taking them in.”

Mo Yingchen spoke clearly, in a calm tone, and with a heart full of sincerity.

After hearing this, Aqiu just said “Oh” perfunctorily.

Obviously he had no interest in Mo Yingchen’s background or gratitude.

His eyes quickly passed Mo Yingchen and fell directly on A Lian.

The dignity that he had barely maintained just now disappeared in an instant, and his face was filled with a flattering smile.

The bloated body also stood up, and his fat hands rubbed nervously.

“Alian, how are your preparations going?”

“In just over a month, it will be the auspicious day for you and Lord Langu to get married.”

After she finished speaking, A-Lian could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.

Crystal clear tears welled up in her eyes, slid down her pale cheeks, and spread out as spots on her rough animal skin collar.

“Chief, A-Lian doesn’t want to get married.”

A-Lian’s voice was tearful, full of helplessness and despair.

When Aqiu heard this, his expression suddenly changed, the smile on his face froze, and was replaced by anger.

The pitch of his voice suddenly rose, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

“Don’t want to get married? Why don’t you want to get married?”

“Do you know what Lord Langu’s status is?”

“That’s the lord of the beastman city!”

“The powerful strength of the fourth level peak!”

“If you marry him, how noble will your status be?”

“Not only that, our entire Aqiu tribe will benefit greatly from this!”

Seeing his sister crying so sadly, A Zhan could no longer suppress his worry.

He stepped forward, his tone slightly pleading.

“Chief, A-Lian grew up in the tribe and has never been far away from home.”

“Besides, this Lord Langgu also received favors from my father in the past.”

“I wonder if I can ask the clan leader to speak to Lord Langgu and let A-Lian go.”

“I have heard that women who marry Lord Langu will be tortured to insanity. I really can’t bear to let A Lian…”

A Zhan’s voice became lower and lower, and finally almost silent, and his words were full of pity for his sister.

“Bullshit!” Aqiu roared, interrupting Azhan’s words.

The saliva almost sprayed onto A Zhan’s face.

“Your father, where is your father? Huh?”

Aqiu’s fat body trembled with excitement. He pointed at Azhan’s nose and spoke in a sharp and shrill voice.

“He was once a hero of the tribe, yes! But what about him now? Where is he? Dead! He’s been dead for so many years! The grass on his grave is so tall!”

Aqiu seemed to have found a sore spot and became more and more excited.

“Do you think those beastmen will show any mercy to us? Show us kindness? What a joke!”

“This time, it was Lord Langgu who specifically asked for A-Lian! He specifically asked for her! Do you understand? This is an honor for our A-Qiu tribe!”

The obese body paced back and forth in the small wooden house.

The floorboards creaked under the weight.

“If A-Lian doesn’t marry and angers Lord Langu, do you know the consequences?”

“Our entire tribe! The entire Aqiu tribe! Lord Langu will bear a grudge against us! By then, let alone a good life, it will be a problem whether we can continue to survive on this land!”

Aqiu stopped and almost poked Alian’s face with his fat fingers, looking ferocious.

“You must marry! There is no room for negotiation! Go back and prepare immediately! Do you hear me? If you don’t marry, I will tie you up with my own hands and send you to Lord Langgu’s bed!”

After saying that, Aqiu seemed to have exhausted all his patience and roared at the door.

“Someone, come here! Keep an eye on A-Lian! From today on, you are not allowed to leave the house! Not even a single step!”
