Chapter 229 Private Property
"The lady said that since it was a small token of my master's kindness, she couldn't refuse it..."
"anything else!"
The female Nightbirds looked at each other in bewilderment.
I'm not sure if I should say it.
"She's mute, what else could she say?"
"Chieftain, what kind of attitude is this?!"
The female Nightbirds were angry.
They are not slaves.
“If the clan leader wants to hear it, then we will speak frankly.”
"The lady said that since my master has sent such a token of his appreciation, she should not be stingy. Once the tribute from Yuanzhou is delivered, she will give it to my young clan leader as his private property."
"What did you say!"
"Offered by Yuanzhou!"
How did Yuanzhou come to be a worshipper?
She risked her life for it!
Yao Ji did not want to form a pact with the North Sea, so she signed a contract and offered all the tributes from the six tribes under her jurisdiction.
If it weren't for this contract, she would never have dared to trespass on the Dijiang clan's property, and she almost lost her life.
not to mention.
What is private property?
That was something the clan used to make their offspring proud.
It represents the importance placed on one's mother's clan, something that others cannot touch.
It is a great honor for a partner to earn a share of the offspring's property and return to the father's clan.
Others would be envious of her.
Now, this dignity has been given away so easily!
Or give it to his cubs!
Why?
Isn't this a slap in the face?
Emperor Xi wanted to smash the Eastern Pearl to pieces.
He doesn't care!
Mu Bai quickly stopped him.
"Don't overthink it. She's just feeling sorry for him because he's been wronged. Haven't there been plenty of gossip about him these past few years?"
Before the formal ceremony, a contract is formed.
It also gave birth to cubs.
There are all sorts of rumors circulating outside.
Mu Bai empathizes and understands.
Emperor Xi could certainly understand.
But doesn't he feel wronged?
For the past two years, he had been living like a zombie. Now that he's back, everything has changed.
If we're talking about pampering, wasn't he spoiled before?
She has two babies by her side.
He never even took Mu Bai, who was of the same clan and lineage, seriously.
Needless to say, Yoru no Sora.
Even when facing that brat Ying Ze, he has a certain degree of confidence.
What does it matter now?
Ying Ze scoffed, "I never thought you'd end up like this. It's hilarious."
"If you utter another word, I'll tear your mouth apart."
"Tch, trying to scare someone to death?" The boy's delicate, sculpted face had matured, resembling a proud little peacock: "You've forgotten how much trouble Mu Bai and the others suffered at your hands before. You only deserve it."
"you!"
"Alright, alright, you should say less." Mu Bai had a headache.
Ying Ze snorted.
Give him some face.
"Never mind, I'll protect you all after I form a bond with you."
"You?" Di Xi sized him up: "A little brat who hasn't even grown all his feathers yet?"
"you!"
"Alright, alright, you should say less."
Compared to the chaotic situation of the unloved quartet.
It's much quieter here in Qiyue.
“I’ll send you a letter; have someone deliver it to Yuanzhou.”
Mu Yunyun took out the dagger from her bosom, preparing to take the bamboo slips.
A dagger with dragon scales as its blade.
It emitted a faint, cold light.
Qi Yue picked up the dagger.
"Is this the dragon's reverse scale?"
The Ying clan of Beihai is an ancient dragon.
The reverse scale has always been a symbol of love.
Is it that guy from Beihai?
Qi Yue put down the dagger, having lost interest.
"Why would you need me to do anything? Wouldn't it be better to have the young clan leader of Beihai go to Yuanzhou in person?"
"Him?" Mu Yunyun thought of Ying Ze: "Forget it, what use is he?"
“I, Jiang Shuiqi, am but a lowly person, and I fear I cannot withstand the wrath of the Emperor Jiang.”
"What do you mean?" Mu Yunyun asked, puzzled. "With the contract as proof, Yao Ji couldn't possibly deny it." She wouldn't dare!
Mu Yunyun handed him the dagger.
"Come on, I'll talk, you write."
"Write what?"
"Just write that the young chief of the Beihai clan is in my hands. According to the contract, the tribute to the territory agreed upon with Yao Ji must be paid on time. Write it like that to infuriate that old hag."
Qi Yue did not move.
"I've heard that Ying Hua has already succeeded Di Jiang as the clan leader."
"Yinghua?"
"You have little contact with him, so it's normal that you don't know him. Ying Hua is an extremely patient person. After you caused a great disturbance in the Dijiang Clan, he took advantage of the situation to succeed as the clan leader. His methods can be described as swift and decisive."
"really?"
Qi Yue nodded.
"The old patriarch has been imprisoned by Ying Hua and has not shown his face since. All the other patriarchs have also been killed. He has endured for many years, and now he is the only one who calls the shots in Yuanzhou. Even Beihai has to give him some face."
The news of Yuanzhou spread almost throughout the entire land.
Qi Yue had only been awake for a few days when she heard rumors about him more than once.
Mu Yunyun clicked her tongue twice.
"He's quite capable."
She didn't have much of an impression of Ying Hua, only that he seemed to have a chronic illness, and she treated him in order to get the dragon scale.
Apart from that, the two had no other relationship.
She had almost forgotten about this person.
"Then just write whatever you think is right, as long as the meaning is conveyed." She didn't care anymore.
Qi Yue picked up the dagger, wrote a few concise sentences on the bamboo slip, and handed it to her to see.
Mu Yunyun took it.
In the Beast World continent, writing was developed after clans were established.
The totems on the mountain gradually evolved into characters resembling those in bronze inscriptions.
Mu Yunyun is not used to writing inscriptions in the Jin Dynasty style; her writing is completely illegible and she doesn't want to embarrass herself by doing so.
Qi Yue's calligraphy, on the other hand, is just like her—upright, elegant, and quite handsome.
"Write it like this and have someone send it over as soon as possible."
Mu Yunyun stood up, her back aching terribly.
Qi Yue pretended not to see her action.
You deserve to be in so much pain.
To save him the trouble.
……
The cicadas chirped loudly.
After the summer season arrived, various races sent over a lot of fruit.
The maid washed the mountain fruits and brought them up to the table.
Along with the gifts came greetings from various clans.
Needless to say, the contents of these bamboo slips are all about instructing adults to form contracts as early as possible.
Yao Ji's fate was sealed.
Under the rule of the adults, Yuanzhou grew stronger day by day, and naturally, those clans wanted to curry favor with it.
In recent years, at grand banquets, whenever an official attends, every female attendee will come up to strike up a conversation.
It's just that adults aren't interested, or even find it repulsive.
The maid sighed and said softly, "My lord, you've had a long day. Please try some of these fresh mountain fruits."
The matter of bamboo slips was not mentioned.
Of course, most of the time adults won't watch it either.
Yinghua rose from the ranks of ordinary affairs.
The androgynous face was breathtaking; even though it wasn't the first time she'd seen it, the maid couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.
She couldn't bear to look anymore, so she picked up the mountain fruit and personally handed one over.
Yinghua did not answer.
He simply asked, "I heard that Lady Jiang Shuiqi has just recovered from a serious illness?"
That's true.
The maid nodded: "Qishan invited Shennong, so naturally the medicine was effective. It's just a coincidence that the lord just happened to send a letter to inquire about the clan chief."
"greeting?"
The Emperor Jiang clan and the Jiang Shuiqi clan were separated by thousands of miles.
He inquired about her only to hear about her cubs and secretly help take care of them.
What did he ask him?
Yinghua found the bamboo slips, spread them out, and a line of words caught his eye, making him frown.
"Chieftain, what has happened?"
Yinghua put the bamboo slips down.
"Go, have someone bring Yao Ji over."
He and Jiang Shui arbitrarily signed a contract and even sent out offerings.
He simply had no idea what she was thinking.
