Chapter 151: Wong Tai Sin: Double Kill (31)
It was daybreak, but not yet completely bright.
There was a heavy snowfall, which blurred our vision and ruined our planned trip down the mountain.
The great elder sent a little fellow to invite him, and Hu Dali scooped up a handful of snow and rubbed his face clean.
In the middle of the night, Daxian licked his face and came close to Lanlan. He felt warm on his body. Lanlan unconsciously abandoned his bald brother and turned to the arms of the yellow-skinned man.
I don’t know if it will be shy and run away and hide when it wakes up and sees who I’m holding.
It was still the same meeting hall as yesterday. The mess of cups and plates from last night had disappeared, but the huge jade ornament for comforting the soul was still there.
Hu Dali tried his best to hold it in his hand and not let his greedy expression show.
If there was space, he wouldn't have to worry about having no place to put the treasures he wanted to collect in the future, nor would he have to worry about being seen by bad guys and having bad intentions against him.
The Great Elder did not give him too much time to imagine beautiful things and went straight to the point.
[Mr. Hu, what do you think about this marriage? ]
[Ah?! Me? Of course I fully support her! I quite like Hu Yali.]
The second elder curled his lips. This is not what Yali said when she came back for the three-court trial a few days ago. Being burned black by the lightning talisman can be considered a sign of favor from the elders?
What about the liar?
The Great Elder had also heard Hu Yali talk about these things, and he was amazed at the inconsistency of human beings.
[So, what about the children? No matter how many you have, at least one child must come back to the tribe to receive the fox tribe's education and inheritance.]
Hu Dali hadn't thought about this. He pondered for a while.
[Great Elder, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. I have read Yali's medical report and found that she only has one baby.]
[No, more than one. Although the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to get pregnant, but our fox clan has no record of giving birth to a single baby. We always give birth to multiple babies, including Hu Yali this time.]
When the Great Elder mentioned the upcoming baby, the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc that he couldn't suppress.
It's been almost a hundred years, and finally there will be a new baby to make a fuss. Even if it's a hybrid of human and demon, it's still a great happy event.
Haven't you seen that Hu Yali has become the treasure of the family recently? !
All the resources of the tribe are tilted towards her, and she can get whatever she wants.
She said she wanted to marry Hu Guizhi, and even though everyone was reluctant and unhappy, no one dared to object.
Hu Dali was surprised, and sighed in his heart that it was worth it for Guizhi to lose six years of his life. If he could exchange it for several chubby great-grandchildren, he would be willing to do so!
Wow, I almost forgot about this!
[Oh right, Great Elder, my grandson, um, and... that... lifespan...]
There were a room full of elders, both men and women, and Hu Dali suddenly got stuck and couldn't continue.
The Great Elder was very understanding and could guess what the man was asking with these vague words.
[You want to ask if Hu Guizhi will die young after marrying Yali, right?! ]
Hu Dali held his forehead with his hand. This old fox was really straightforward in his words.
We are discussing marriage, and you said such a taboo word as short-lived, aren't you really trying to provoke a fight?
The Great Elder didn't care that he didn't get a clear answer from him and continued talking.
[Ahem, I have arranged for someone to teach Hu Yali the secret art of sex. After we become husband and wife, there will be no more unilateral plundering and absorption of Yang Qi. You can rest assured.]
[The last time, ahem, no one expected that Yali would like to live in the human world. She never mentioned finding a partner in the past few decades. Everyone neglected it...]
The Great Elder was stared at by Hu Dali with an incredible look. As he spoke, he began to feel uncomfortable all over. He coughed several times and reminded the elders below to change the subject.
But everyone seemed to be deaf. Some were drinking tea, some were playing with their hands, and they pretended not to hear.
Tsk, you are all old foxes who are thousands of years old. At your age, why are you still pretending to be innocent?
The Great Elder unilaterally ended the topic and next he invited Hu Yali herself to come over to discuss the issue of the bride price and dowry.
This is not a transaction, but purely the support from both parents for a new small family.
Since you are marrying a human, then you should follow human marriage rules.
Hu Dali has no shortage of money.
As for the betrothal gift, Hu Dali asked for the soul-resting jade, but was rejected by all the elders.
It was Hu Yali who stepped forward and casually pushed the large ornament on the tea table to the ground, breaking it into two pieces.
Half of it was quickly held in the arms of the second elder, and the other half was wrapped around by Hu Yali's tail.
[Great Elder, I want this! You won't be reluctant to give it to me, right?!]
The Great Elder looked at the soul-soothing jade, then at Hu Yali's belly, and after much hesitation, he reluctantly nodded.
Soul-soothing jade is not easy to mine, and the total amount is limited. The existing stock is not enough even for the children of the clan.
Taking away this large piece of food really made them feel painful and heartbroken.
The Great Elder only asked that one child be left to grow up in the tribe, and the others could be arranged by them. Then, he walked out, holding his chest.
Hu Yali stuck out her tongue, waved her hand, put the soul-soothing jade into the space, then jumped onto the tea table and lay down obediently.
The fourth elder was well versed in medicine and had told her long ago that the baby would be born in a month and a half at most, so time was very tight.
By the way, Hu Dali doesn’t know about this yet.
After knowing this, he would probably be even more anxious to get down the mountain. He hasn't bought a new house yet, and he hasn't brought his unfortunate son back home yet.
Well, it all happened at the same time.
Maybe God also sensed it, and after snowing for half a day, it suddenly stopped.
The fox tribe was also very scarce in food during the bitterly cold winter. The two humans began to feel stomach discomfort less than two days after they had been in the mountains.
Especially Hu Guizhi, who usually doesn't exercise much. He ate the soup made of wild delicacies brought by his brother-in-law at noon, and he had diarrhea so much that he fainted.
He didn't expect that the scene of being rushed to the hospital for gastric lavage after eating wild mushrooms in Yunnan many years ago would be repeated in the deep mountains of Northeast China, 10,800 miles away from Yunnan.
Fortunately, the Fourth Elder took action at the critical moment and controlled Hu Guizhi's vomiting and diarrhea.
Otherwise, the bald brother would be killed by his sister for the sake of justice and all the hair on his body would be plucked out...
[Second Elder, you were the one who picked up the guest, so you should send him off. Be careful. From now on, we are relatives by marriage, so don’t act so arrogantly…]
The fourth elder stuffed a black pill into Hu Guizhi's mouth, which was to strengthen her body and replenish her vital energy.
If this kid doesn't change his lifestyle and exercise more, he might die before his children grow up.
She has watched Hu Yali grow up, so she should help him.
The Second Elder reluctantly accepted the order and went to prepare. He still had some complaints about the half piece of Soul-Calming Jade, but all his resentment was directed at that kid Hu Guizhi, picking on the weak...
[Alas, I shouldn’t have let you go and hang out with those petty officials who are so arrogant. If you were such a low-ranking official, people would think you were the leader of some country if you went out...]
