Chapter 579: A Future Wife
To be fair.
Fair and reasonable.
Ying Mu’s disappearance in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and her miraculous survival, became known to the public. The Four Seas Group remained tight-lipped, but the news couldn’t be contained within the organization, especially when the parties involved were itching for a fight.
Within the Four Seas Group, there are actually no written rules or regulations. There are rules protected by the Dragon Clan, but you’ve already broken one of the consensus agreements. Now, you expect me to talk about martial ethics. It’s a little hard to justify, don’t you think?
You can have double standards, but I also have the right to beat the double standard dragon on top of its head.
Her hatred, hostility, and even to a certain extent, revenge, are all reasonable.
As for how much this "certain extent" is, it actually depends on personal ability.
How far you can go depends on yourself.
It’s okay to seek revenge for enemies and grievances, but it can’t be repeated without limits, otherwise, it will be an endless cycle of revenge and hatred piling up.
Therefore, for Ying Mu, there is only one chance for revenge, once it’s used up, it’s gone.
Her noble cause of revenge only has this one opportunity, if used wisely, she can even kill the dragon without going to jail or facing consequences.
Therefore, finding a sufficiently powerful ally is important.
Bai Wei is powerful enough and is also directly involved, being subjected to revenge as well.
Before, if Ying Mu had any hesitation, she shouldn’t have involved him in the internal conflicts of the dragon clan, but now she no longer has this concern.
Everyone is in the situation, Bai Wei has plenty of reasons to fight back, just like a rabbit fighting a monkey, it’s in the name of self-defense.
Ao Hanli and Bai Wei have a cooperative relationship, she must not and probably wouldn’t be willing, let alone able to bear this part of the pressure for Bai Wei.
But what about Ying Mu? It’s not a bit forced, it’s just easy breezy.
So, her proposal is perfectly logical and reasonable.
Only a bit untimely.
Naturally, as soon as these words were spoken, Ying Mu regretted them herself.
Dragon bodies are very powerful, but after several days without sleep, she also clearly felt a pause and stiffness in her thinking. To think that these words just slipped out of her mouth without any thought. Even though she may be straightforward on regular days, she has never been this absent-minded before.
She really wanted to press the ‘recall’ button, but unfortunately couldn’t. At the same time, she was secretly observing Bai Wei’s expression, wondering how he would judge the situation.
Really?
Fake?
It’s genuine, but also insincere.
Ah, so messy.
If she could, Ying Mu would love to throw herself onto the bed, bury her head in the blanket, and roll and twist like a caterpillar.
While waiting, she heard Bai Wei respond.
"…it’s not impossible."
She immediately snapped out of her daydream and sat up straight, "Are you serious about that statement?"
"For me, it doesn’t really make a difference," Bai Wei tapped his fingers on the table. "After all, it’s a fake marriage for everyone."
"Yes, yes… It’s all fake, all of it." Ying Mu’s mood gradually calmed down, but… even if it’s a fake marriage, it’s still ahead of Chao Lu and Little Green Pepper. I’m sorry, my sisters, it seems like I accidentally took the lead too much.
She discovered that she was unexpectedly excited and secretly happy in her heart, with little guilt. Immediately, she reflected on herself.
Darn… I have dragon horns on my head, not bull horns!
"The problem is, the news has already spread." Bai Wei spread his hands. "How do we solve this? Regret immediately, return the goods, change people? Not to mention that my reputation will drop here, and you’ll also face a lot of pressure."
Ying Mu suppressed her excited mood and began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.
A fake marriage isn’t a big deal. Even though the Dragon Clan is passionate, times are changing, and such things can happen.
Explain the ins and outs clearly to the elders of the Dragon Palace. Generally, the elderly will put on a "you young people are really good at playing" attitude and let it go.
The subsequent impact will fade away.
"As long as the impact doesn’t further expand, we can suppress it." Ying Mu thought for a moment. "Relying solely on my influence might not be enough. I might need to go back and inform my father, asking him to help discuss with the elders within the Dragon Palace."
"Lord Chaohu, Bai Wei asked uncertainly, ‘Will he agree?’"
"He has no reason to disagree," Ying Mu bluntly replied, "You saved my life, it’s just a fake marriage; if I die, then it’s a demon marriage."
"And Ao Hanli," Bai Wei rubbed his forehead, "We have to see what she thinks."
"We can negotiate and find a solution," Ying Mu said generously, "I don’t mind taking a step back for her."
"That’s fine too," Bai Wei said optimistically, "This way, I can also have less trouble, so I won’t be asked repeatedly what’s going on."
"Well, what if she still doesn’t agree?" Ying Mu glanced at Bai Wei, not optimistic, but rather serious.
"I find it hard to imagine she would have a reason to persist," Bai Wei waved his hand, "Don’t think too much, Ao Hanli and I are just acquaintances."
"I’m just considering some possibilities, what if she’s too concerned about saving face?" Ying Mu hinted, "It’s better to be cautious."
Bai Wei continued to speculate, "If it really comes to this, then we can only procrastinate… deal with the Black Dragon’s matter, and she will naturally divorce."
Ying Mu relaxed her eyebrows and exclaimed, "Indeed!"
Ao Hanli had no reason to confront the Black Dragon of the North Sea, right?
We have enough reasons and confidence to deal with the Black Dragon.
The rumors have been flying around for a while now. Our marriage is a joint experience of overcoming difficulties and being together, as expected by everyone.
Ying Mu’s mouth started to curve upwards as she thought about this. "Oops, I accidentally took the lead by too much. Feeling a bit excited, hehe~"
Bai Wei gently dampened her optimistic attitude. "Don’t get too happy too soon. The biggest problem is how to deal with the Black Dragon."
"Abscesses eventually burst open. The Black Dragon from the Hongze Clan is already a cancerous tumor. It was never upright to begin with," Ying Mu sneered mockingly.
"Don’t talk about subjective opinions, talk about solutions."
"I don’t know." Ying Mu wore a clever expression, resembling Akua, the wise one.
Bai Wei choked.
"There really isn’t a good solution at this stage."
Ying Mu enthusiastically suggested, "Either we go directly to Hongze Lake and kill all the black dragons inside, kill them until there’s blood flowing like in Xue Luoyang’s story, where they fought for seven days and nights on the walls of Luoyang City and earned the title of the greatest second-grade heroic spirit in history."
Xue Luoyang, the strongest second-grade heroic spirit in the world, with his powerful reputation that is full of legends.
However… In the Hongze lineage alone, there are as many as three dragon kings.
Dragon kings, like Martial Saints, reach a level beyond fifty, which is a unified title, but their strength cannot be generalized.
If two more legendary peak dragon kings were to appear, it would be extremely challenging for Bai Wei to kill them. He would have to use his Golden Power, but it’s hard to guarantee victory.
Killing Ba Xia was a combination of luck, strength, and the overall situation. It cannot be replicated.
"Once we start preparing to fight against all the black dragons in the Hongze lineage, I suddenly feel like the chances of winning are quite slim," Bai Wei pondered.
In his opinion, the best way for this opponent to secure a win is to start with an overwhelming firepower.
Keeping them alive would be trouble, especially since both sides hold a deep grudge. It seems these individuals are not good people either, as they dare to harm their own kind. Considering the safety of the Old Bai family, it’s better to eliminate them.
It’s certain that they should be eliminated, but the question is how to do it. While a strong suppression is possible, the best approach is to control the influence as much as possible.
A finger suddenly poked Bai Wei’s forehead, smoothing away his frown. Ying Mu spoke softly, "Don’t think about it for now. Rest assured, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom has overcome great difficulties and dangers. Can these small setbacks bring us down?"
The dragon maiden, who has always been strong-willed, now appeared unexpectedly gentle and tender, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Bai Wei suddenly remembered the evaluation the Eastern Sea True Dragon gave Ying Mu: she would be a wise wife and good mother.
He straightened his waist and leaned back, feeling uncomfortable. "Don’t take advantage of me. This is a real body, not a puppet."
"What’s the problem? Didn’t the blind date go well?" Ying Mu said indifferently, "If we’re acting, we have to go all the way."
"It’s just the two of us, what’s the point of going all the way or halfway … who’s going to see it?"
"We will have to adapt in the future," Ying Mu said seriously. "If Ao Hanli can’t do it, I can try. She will back down when she sees the challenge."
Bai Wei pressed his finger against Ying Mu’s forehead, asking her soul-searching questions.
"Can you live up to Chao Lu’s expectations?"
…
After hearing the news, Ao Hanli came to the Yangtze River office and entered the interrogation room, where she heard the continuous sound of screams.
She hesitated in her footsteps and asked, "How long has it been?"
"Your Highness, it has been over ten hours."
"What have they confessed?"
"Nothing."
"Is it that tough?"
"No, it’s because Her Highness Hanlei didn’t ask anything at all."
