Heiraten - Kapitel 8
Shen Yuntan inwardly exclaimed, "Great!" He had been poisoned by the "Hundred-Day Crisp," which was extremely dangerous, but now that he had hired such a bodyguard, the danger had been greatly reduced.
His face still showed hesitation: "That would be troublesome." He suddenly smiled mischievously, his childlike heart stirring, and couldn't help but tease him, "We can discuss the marriage agreement later. Although I, Shen Yuntan, am not a hero, I am a responsible man. Don't worry, I will never let you down!"
Tang Shijiu's face turned green again, just as expected.
Shen Yun, in a playful gesture, bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, my lady."
As expected, Tang Shijiu completely broke down, and his roar almost caused the cave to collapse.
"Stop calling me 'wife'!!!! You bastard!"
Chapter Five: Choosing a Spouse
And so they descended the mountain. Tang Shijiu took a deep breath, almost shouting, "The martial world! Here I come!"
Seeing the undisguised joy on her face, looking around like a child, Shen Yuntan felt happy too. That hundred-day-old herbal jelly was truly potent; after a good night's rest, her limbs could move, but her internal energy was still sluggish.
Luckily, this woman was easy to fool!
I never imagined this woman could be so easily fooled!
Shen Yun had been in the underworld for over ten years, and this was the first time he had met such an easily fooled woman who believed everything he said.
He told her he came from a scholarly family and that the Sang Clan had ruined his family, and she believed him. She didn't even consider that the Sang Clan, a martial arts sect, would go looking for trouble with a scholarly family.
He told her he had relatives backing him up at Jinhu Villa, and she believed him. Didn't she realize that Sangmen's headquarters are in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang area? What relatives would dare to take him in so readily?
She told him about her situation, how her junior brother had married her junior sister, and how she would leave the Free and Unfettered Sect if she couldn't find a suitable husband within a year. He chuckled inwardly, not only because she seemed foolish, but also because he thought her master was being reckless.
They grabbed a praying mantis without thinking and assigned it a surname.
He let his disciples make random bets without any clear understanding of the situation.
But given how confused she is, it's not surprising that she has such a reckless master.
A gentle breeze rustled through the forest. The path on Xiaoyao Mountain was rugged and strange, but luckily, Nineteen knew the way. He turned left and right and found a shortcut, and by noon he had descended the mountain.
"Hey!" Tang Shijiu hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "That... spittoon."
"This humble student is Shen Yuntan."
"A spittoon..."
"This humble student is Shen Yuntan."
"Shen Tan Yu..."
Fine, Shen Yun stopped correcting her and let her keep calling it "spittoon, spittoon."
"Shen Tanyu, shall we set some rules?" Tang Shijiu blinked her big eyes, a hint of playfulness in them.
"Please speak, my lady."
"The first rule is that you are not allowed to call me 'wife' anymore!"
"Mother... Her Majesty's word is law." Tang Shijiu rolled her eyes at his quick change of mind. This kid is so stupid, he doesn't understand anything, and he's so stubborn. He's such a hassle.
"So, for the second point, you know I must find a suitable husband within a year. Don't your relatives have many disciples at Jinhu Villa? If you find a suitable one, you must introduce him to me!"
Feeling a sudden tightness in his chest for no apparent reason, Shen Yun blurted out, "Am I not good enough? Why do I need others?"
Tang Shijiu said seriously, "You're not bad. But you don't know martial arts. My husband, Tang Shijiu's husband, must be very good at martial arts. Otherwise, he won't be able to control those monkeys on the mountain."
She said this with a straight face, completely forgetting that last night she had wrapped her arms around Shen Yuntan's neck and said that as long as someone was handsome, it didn't matter whether they were good at martial arts or not.
Shen Yuntan's gaze sharpened: "As long as the martial arts are good, that's enough?"
Tang Shijiu tilted her head and counted on her fingers: "It would be best if he were handsome, um... at least not worse than you, Junior Sister Liu loves to bully handsome men. It would be best if he were rich, um... at least... at least..." She thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what being rich meant. "Oh well, anyway, he just has to be rich. Otherwise, with so many monkeys on the mountain, it would be embarrassing if we couldn't afford a wedding banquet."
Shen Yun looked at her with interest: "And then?"
“Hmm, Master likes people who are good at studying. So they must be well-read and knowledgeable.” She shook her head. “Tian Hou’er likes easy-going people, so he must have a good temper. At least better than me. Liu Xi’er likes men in white clothes, so it would be best if he liked to wear white clothes…” She lowered her head and counted them one by one. When she reached the end, she refused to say anything more.
What does Xu Ziqing like?
He might only like Gu Yan.
Shen Yun asked in a low voice, "And what about you? What kind of person do you like?"
Tang Shijiu looked up, somewhat confused. What kind of person did she like? She... she had never thought about what kind of person she liked. She used to like Xu Ziqing; she liked someone like Xu Ziqing.
But Xu Ziqing didn't like her.
She didn't know what kind of person she liked besides Xu Ziqing.
However, after only a moment of distraction, Tang Shijiu immediately smiled and said, "I really like men who have all of these qualities!"
Shen Yuntan nodded seriously: "Yes, I know who you will marry."
Tang Shijiu asked, "Do you really know someone like that?"
Shen Yun tapped her nose: "Don't even mention a year. With this kind of requirement, you won't get married even in a hundred years."
Just now, when the topic of money came up, Nineteen suddenly realized, "I don't think I brought much silver with me when I left!" Shen Yuntan pushed aside some weeds, looking as if he had expected it, but he was quite surprised and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Tang Shijiu smiled sheepishly: "Spittoon, do you have any silver on you?"
"No," he answered readily. He was always one to spend money like water; when he was short of money, he could easily find work to pay for it. Besides, if he couldn't find any work, borrowing some from a wealthy family wasn't difficult.
