Chapter 1042 - 141: I’m Sticking With You No Matter What
"Hmph, I don’t care, I’m sticking with you no matter what. Who told you to beat me? You’ve met the conditions, and I’ve chosen you. You said it yourself just now, I’m your woman now. Everyone heard it. You can’t back out." Jian Wanli said defiantly.
At this moment, Li Bingshuang was a bit anxious too. She came over with Mo Jing, but when she approached Jian Wanli, her attitude became respectful, and she said, "Uh, Miss Wan Li, this is my friend, and the reason he acted like that just now was because we urged him to. You know we’re helping you, can’t you not make things difficult for him?"
"Oh, I don’t care. He said he wants to marry me, and I’ve decided, in this lifetime it’ll be him or no one else." Jian Wanli declared resolutely.
"..." The three were speechless. Sometimes, doing a good deed doesn’t lead to good outcomes, like helping an elderly who fell. Li Bingshuang now regrets it deeply.
"Brother, what should we do? She insists on marrying you. Why not accept it first? Anyway, you have more than one woman. One more or less won’t matter. Then tell her she’s the tenth or so, see if she’ll back off." Mo Jing said to Chen Tianlong.
"..." Chen Tianlong was speechless for a moment, but then thought that Mo Jing’s idea might actually work. So he said to Jian Wanli not far away, "Miss Wan Li, you better think this through. I have many girlfriends, maybe about ten or so. If you really want to be my wife, you might be number ten or something like that. But it could be a long wait before it’s your turn."
"Fine, the tenth or even the tenth. What’s the big deal? Besides, you’re not an emperor. You don’t need to point me out. If I want to find you, I will. At worst, we can sleep together as a group." Jian Wanli’s unique insight left Chen Tianlong stammering, not knowing how to argue back, and he could only look to Li Bingshuang for help.
"No way, to be Chen Tianlong’s wife, you must get my consent." Li Bingshuang blew up at this time, seeing another woman contend for Chen Tianlong right in front of her. How could she let that slide?
"Eh? Who are you, anyway? Can you just disagree like that?" Jian Wanli chuckled. This girl seemed pure and pretty but didn’t appear very polite.
"I..."
"Miss Wan Li, she is my brother’s wife, so you think she has the right to decide or not?" Mo Jing directly interrupted Li Bingshuang, afraid she wouldn’t manage to speak and blow the cover.
"Is what she’s saying true?" Jian Wanli asked Li Bingshuang, who was stunned.
Li Bingshuang’s face turned beet red upon being questioned, especially with Chen Tianlong watching next to her. Mo Jing gave her a hinting look, inviting her to acknowledge it.
Thus, Li Bingshuang took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I am Chen Tianlong’s first wife, Li Bingshuang. At home, there’s a second and third wife... lots of them. You can be Chen Tianlong’s wife, but first, you need my approval. However, I find you lacking right now, so it’s pending."
"Huh?" Jian Wanli was surprised now. She thought Mo Jing was just talking nonsense, but now, answering right in front of Chen Tianlong, and Chen Tianlong didn’t change his expression, making it seem quite real.
"Yes, she’s my first wife. So, to marry you is not my decision, it has to pass her review before it’s finalized. It’s known that when one has many wives, emotional interaction is needed. What if they don’t get along and end up fighting when married?" Chen Tianlong quickly chimed in and started to bluff.
Li Bingshuang’s face was now as red as a cooked lobster. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Tianlong anymore. Initially, they imagined these things in their minds, but now it’s being discussed out in the open, it’s truly mortifying.
Luckily, the crowd had already dispersed. Only a few scattered people remained, and they didn’t pay much attention to this. Otherwise, if this was on the stage with so many spectators earlier, Li Bingshuang would definitely be looking for a hole to hide in.
"Hmph, I don’t care. I know you guys are ganging up to bully me. Even if I’m the tenth wife, I’m willing, as long as it’s with Chen Tianlong."
Jian Wanli finally found someone she’s truly interested in, now asking her to give up is unthinkable. Besides, the idea of ten might be false, maybe they’re just girlfriends, and she could upgrade later on.
She firmly believes that a woman with talent and looks won’t lose to other wives.
"Phew," Chen Tianlong simply didn’t know what to do. After saying all of that, what else could he do?
Li Bingshuang and Mo Jing could only shrug. After all, a beauty and wealthy lady willing to be with Chen Tianlong, what could they do?
"Alright, since I’ve chosen a son-in-law, I should have my father meet him. He would surely be pleased." Jian Wanli was quite fond of the handsome and dignified Chen Tianlong.
"Oh, this doesn’t seem good." Chen Tianlong already agreed to the situation, sort of awkwardly hard to refuse.
"Why not? Come with me to my father’s manor. There’s more than just this, many good things you haven’t seen yet. If Chen Tianlong becomes my husband, then Hidden Sword Manor will be your home, and my father would let you see anything you wanted." Jian Wanli started to set terms to tempt Chen Tianlong.
Sure enough, Chen Tianlong’s eyes brightened at this talk; he naturally had a strong curiosity. Hearing from Jian Wanli that Hidden Sword Manor had good things, he became interested right away. Anyway, being her husband seems unavoidable, might as well go and take a look.
He didn’t believe Jian Wanli would follow him to class later. As long as she doesn’t interfere with his life, everything is fine. Chen Tianlong spends more time at school than outside, and once Jian Wanli doesn’t see him for a while, naturally she would fade away.
"Fine, I’ll go with you then." Chen Tianlong didn’t want to dwell on this problem any longer, so he waved his hand, indicating Jian Wanli to lead them.
It was already around seven in the evening. Jian Wanli had arranged a person to go back and instruct her father to prepare a meal, so they could dine together with Chen Tianlong and the others later.
Before long, the four of them arrived at a large house. In the center of the hall sat a man in a gray robe, appearing to be in his forties, looking energetic, with a slightly sharp demeanor. Chen Tianlong could immediately tell that this man was a cultivator, and quite powerful too.
Generally, people who cultivate regularly have this look, indicating good health and a harmonious spirit, naturally exuding this aura.
The person sitting in the center of the hall was none other than Jian Wuming, the Manor Master of Hidden Sword Manor. He possessed a Celestial Dao three-star power, a pillar of Hidden Sword Manor, and had unique Swordsmanship. In his collection were numerous precious swords, as the Sword Family is renowned for collecting famous swords. Within the Hidden Sword Pavilion are primarily ancient swords, and recently one has been vibrating as if sensing its master will soon arrive.
