“I’ll marry you too.”
Huan Shi: “……”
Huan Shi never expected You Ming An to be so shameless, to do such a thing.
However, Huan Shi was not someone easy to bully.
So she spoke without hesitation: “You Ming An, if I remember correctly, that fireball just now was cast by you, wasn’t it?”
You Ming An: “……”
You Ming An glanced at Song Cha, who only had the cultivation of the early Golden Core stage. She had been very discreet while casting the fireball.
Under such circumstances, it was very likely that Song Cha couldn’t have noticed her movements.
Thinking this, You Ming An looked puzzled: “I didn’t cast any fireball just now.”
Huan Shi: “……you……”
“No need to say more, your words are just excuses to avoid repaying your debt of gratitude.” You Ming An spoke with seeming logic: “Does repaying a debt of gratitude also need to choose its target?”
“What do you mean by choosing a target?” Huan Shi was almost bewildered by You Ming An’s words.
You Ming An replied bluntly: “Of course it depends on wealth. Song Cha is rich, so you didn’t hesitate to repay her, while I…”
You Ming An didn’t finish her sentence, but anyone could understand her implication.
Huan Shi: “……”
Huan Shi felt that she had underestimated You Ming An before; she hadn’t expected You Ming An to be capable of such sophistry.
But… she wasn’t without chances of winning.
Thinking this, Huan Shi remembered Song Cha asking her earlier how to count being saved twice.
At that time, Huan Shi, troubled by the question of fairness, had not answered Song Cha. But now, in this situation, she realized she didn’t need to be troubled anymore.
With You Ming An here, continuing to fret would only be serving You Ming An on a platter.
With this thought, Huan Shi turned to Song Cha: “Song Cha, in our Nine-Tailed Fox clan, the obligation to repay a debt of gratitude only applies to the first person, subsequent debts are considered separately.”
Speaking of this, Huan Shi had a meaningful tone: “After all, I am just one person, and even if I were to marry, I could only marry one. So… Miss who covets my beauty, you might be disappointed.” When she mentioned coveting beauty, Huan Shi gave You Ming An a meaningful glance.
Coveting Beauty, You Ming An: “……”
Huan Shi, this woman, was even more cunning than she had imagined.
You Ming An liked spirit stones and resources.
But she felt she had her dignity.
She had her limits.
But Huan Shi, for the sake of spirit stones and resources, had no bottom line at all.
The competition in the cultivation world was truly frightening.
When you use strength to exchange for resources, some people have already exchanged resources with their top-tier beauty.
You Ming An felt… she couldn’t continue to be so old-fashioned.
If she continued to be old-fashioned, Song Cha might really end up with Huan Shi. By then, her hard-earned guard job would be lost.
At this moment, the only solution was very simple.
You Ming An thought of her own face.
Her face was not inferior to Huan Shi’s.
So, if Huan Shi could rely on her face to get by, to marry Song Cha, why couldn’t she?
Thinking this, You Ming An glanced at Song Cha.
Song Cha looked gentle and weak, but very handsome.
At least seeing Song Cha, thinking of marrying Song Cha, although You Ming An felt it was a bit strange, she didn’t have much resistance.
Spending a lifetime with Song Cha didn’t seem like such a sad thing.
Besides, she has already signed a life contract with Song Cha.
In this situation, for her own safety, she would definitely need to protect Song Cha as well.
So, marrying Song Cha, protecting her, and incidentally managing all of her wealth shouldn’t be too unreasonable, right?
With this thought, You Ming An’s last bit of hesitation completely vanished.
She looked at Song Cha, her tone as cold as ever, but with a new seriousness added, “Song Cha, I will marry you.”
Song Cha: “…”
Huan Shi: “…”
Both Song Cha and Huan Shi had spent time with You Ming An.
But precisely because they had spent time together, they knew all too well that You Ming An didn’t actually like Song Cha.
Under the circumstances of not liking Song Cha, what kind of bizarre twist was it to say she wanted to marry her?
However, no matter the reason, if You Ming An wanted to marry Song Cha, Huan Shi would never agree.
“Song Cha is mine,” Huan Shi said to You Ming An, “there’s a rule of first come, first served.”
You Ming An: “…”
You Ming An scoffed, “First come, first served, right? I knew Song Cha first.”
Huan Shi: “…”
Song Cha: “…”
Seeing such a scene, Song Cha felt a tremendous headache.
In her view, the current situation was almost magical.
The little fox deliberately transforming into a human and offering herself in marriage was already outrageous enough. But unexpectedly, something had provoked You Ming An, making her also declare her intention to marry her.
Perhaps it’s the difference in worlds that creates a barrier between Song Cha’s thoughts and You Ming An’s.
She couldn’t believe that You Ming An, simply because she didn’t dislike her and thought spending a lifetime with her wouldn’t be too bad, decided to marry her just to control her wealth.
This logic… was simply impeccable.
“You two… I won’t marry either of you,” Song Cha said.
You Ming An: “…”
Huan Shi: “…”
Hearing this, the two who were originally arguing were suddenly at a loss for words.
However, this did not prevent them from disliking each other.
Huan Shi felt that it was all You Ming An’s fault for ruining her plan, which led to Song Cha’s refusal to marry her. After all, if it had been just her, her chances of success would have been much greater.
On the other hand, You Ming An felt that it was all Huan Shi’s interference that prevented her from successfully marrying Song Cha.
The two looked at each other with even greater displeasure.
Although they were displeased with each other, they did not argue anymore.
Seeing Song Cha’s troubled expression, they knew that arguing further would only leave a bad impression on him.
However, both Huan Shi and You Ming An agreed that this matter was not over.
In the future, they would have plenty of opportunities to win Song Cha’s favor and make her fall in love with them, thereby marrying her.
With hopes for the future, the two calmed down.
Then, Song Cha decided to continue exploring.
“Sister Huan Shi, did you come to the secret realm alone?” Song Cha asked curiously.
Huan Shi nodded slightly, “I came here alone.”
“Then, sister, do you have any ideas about exploring the secret realm?” Knowing that Huan Shi was a fox spirit, Song Cha was not worried about revealing too much and thus leading to danger: “I have never explored a secret realm before.”
Exploring secret realms?
Huan Shi knows the answer to this question.
With the ability to ignore barriers, Huan Shi can freely traverse any secret realm.
Moreover, possessing a talent for treasure hunting, Huan Shi can sense the location of treasures from afar.
“Yes,” Huan Shi replied with pleasure, “I have explored many secret realms. If you trust me, you can come with me.”
“Of course, I trust Sister Huan Shi,” Song Cha said, her eyes full of trust for Huan Shi.
Seeing Song Cha look at her like that, Huan Shi’s mood instantly improved.
Since Song Cha trusted her so much, she wouldn’t let Song Cha down.
“Sister Huan Shi, which way should we go?” Song Cha asked, standing halfway up the mountain outside the cave, looking around in confusion.
Hearing Song Cha’s question, Huan Shi sensed the surroundings and quickly detected the direction where spiritual energy was abundant.
“Let’s go that way,” Huan Shi said without hesitation.
“Okay,” Song Cha agreed without hesitation.
The three of them quickly started walking in the direction Huan Shi had indicated.
However, the place where the spiritual energy was located was quite far.
It took them a whole day to reach the location.
As soon as they arrived, they were blocked by a barrier.
Looking at the barrier in front of her, Song Cha frowned in distress, “Sister Huan Shi, there’s a barrier here. What should we do?”
Huan Shi lightly touched the barrier.
This barrier was a defensive type, requiring several Nascent Soul stage cultivators at their peak to attack it for a long time to break through. If it were her, she could break the barrier with a single move.
But why would she want to break it?
Huan Shi furrowed his brows, “This barrier is very strong, I… would need five Nascent Soul peak cultivators attacking continuously for three days to break it.”
Song Cha nodded seriously, her eyes filled with curiosity as she watched Huan Shi, eager to see what he would do.
Huan Shi’s frown deepened: “I can’t break this barrier, but due to my unique constitution, I can take one person inside with me.” As she said this, Huan Shi looked towards Song Cha.
