Chapter Seven, Princess Bai under Wanling Peak

"Nonsense!" Qiudi snorted, "If you had a wife, there would be no single men left in the world."

However, within just a few seconds, everyone laughed

However, the elder reached out to stop him, saying, "Geng Hao, if the young friend is unwilling to yield, we need not insist."

Upon seeing me nod in agreement, Xiao Ling immediately wore a worried expression and whispered, "The foul Taoist from Laoshan will surely recognize my identity, and that will cause trouble!"

The old man was somewhat astonished, his gaze turned towards us, and soon he calmed down, saying, "Young friend, may I have a look at the longan?"

I suppose that for them, as long as longan exists, it is sufficient; otherwise, with a large number of people, they could easily resort to forceful seizure. After realizing this, I took it out directly

Qiu Di laughed so hard that her waist bent, pointing at me and Xiao Ling, saying, "You two are cut from the same cloth, spouting nonsense. Will the White Princess under Wanling Peak marry this little rascal? Get to work, don't mind them."

Recalling this matter, I remember that I wanted to ask Xiao Ling a question before. The tigress reached an agreement with the ancestors of the Su family, so how many years did she live? Why does she look no different from someone in their early twenties now? Unfortunately, there are outsiders present, so I cannot inquire.

I cannot take off the ring either; I just want to slow things down. Seeing the person with the knife stop, I hurriedly said, "My wife has many at home; I will have her send some to you. If you cut off my finger, she will be very angry, and that would be quite terrifying."

When I hear about Sujia Village and the ominous veins, my mind is filled only with hatred. Returning to follow the tigress, I do not even know when the opportunity for revenge will come. Yet now, the chance is right before my eyes, and I must not let it slip away.

Geng Hao led us through the mountains for five days, and only then did we arrive at the station he mentioned. The people inside were dressed in modern clothing, yet there were no vehicles or other modern appliances. The houses resembled the blue bricks and green tiles of my sister-in-law's home.

But when the old man was picking up the longan, he suddenly saw the ring on my left hand. His eyes instantly brightened, and he turned his hand to grasp mine, excitedly asking: "Young friend, where did the gemstone on your ring come from?"

Geng Hao wanted to say something else, but the old man scolded him, and they reluctantly withdrew. After that, the old man left, and after having dinner, Geng Hao arranged for me to rest

The old man sighed and said, "To be honest, this gem is very important to us; it can save a life"

She didn't mention it, and I hadn't thought of it either. Xiao Ling is a little fox; what should I do if she gets exposed? For a moment, I was at a loss.

"Master Uncle, are you saying it can save my master?" Geng Hao suddenly stood up, his eyes shining. I quickly protected my left hand and retreated behind the chair, saying, "You all better not even think about it, and besides, this ring cannot be taken off!"

My wedding ring. I bought it! I frowned slightly, quickly withdrew my hand, and stuffed the longan into his hand

Geng Hao's meaning is very clear; the matter of the fierce pulse has not been resolved, and they will not seize the longan, but they also cannot take it back. His proposal happens to align with my intentions. The longan belongs to my sister-in-law, and it must be given to her after use. Moreover, I want to know what agreement she reached with the ancestors of the Su family, and it serves as a breakthrough point.

The old man held onto my hand tightly and said, "Young friend, we are offering a high price; how about selling the ring to me?"

I originally intended to suggest that my sister-in-law take a look, but then I reconsidered; if I brought someone back and she didn't help, wouldn't that be quite embarrassing? So I decided to say nothing at all

What do you think I would deceive you for! I shot her a glare, as if having a wife was something very strange. In the countryside, it is common for girls to have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen

I do not know, the ring was bought by someone else, and I am not clear where it came from I am somewhat confused, feeling that this old man is particularly interested in the ring. But I can only guess it is especially precious, and the other daughters-in-law did not mention anything else

I quietly told Xiao Ling, but she reassured me not to worry, saying that the object recognizes its owner, and that others cannot move it or control it, which finally put my mind at ease

Geng Hao said: "After the ring is removed, your finger will be reattached, ensuring it is as good as new. Get to work!"

After several days of running around, I almost fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed. In a daze, I felt a particular pain in my left ring finger. When I woke up, I realized that I couldn't move my whole body, and I was tied to the bed. Geng Hao and the others were trying to take the ring off my hand.

I am well aware that Xiaoling's grandfather, the Corpse King, Xiaopang's grandfather, and the Mother Tiger are all extraordinary individuals, so it is not surprising to hear this. Since there are no issues, I will respond to Geng Hao later.

I immediately shook my head; the ring was a gift from my sister-in-law, and I absolutely cannot sell it. The old man continued, "Twenty million, that's quite a lot!"

The old man and the one with the knife trembled slightly upon hearing the mention of the White Princess. The scalpel hung just a few centimeters away from my fingers. Seeing a glimmer of hope, Xiao Ling continued, "His wife is the White Princess!"

The man in the black robe did not go far; shortly after, he passed by again. At noon, Geng Hao went out for a while and returned to say that we could leave. When exiting the cave, he gave me two talismans and instructed me to stick them on my dragon eye, so that my aura would not be exposed

I saw that they all stood up, and I immediately became anxious. I took out the longan and said, "This thing is for you, but don't even think about the ring."

Qiu Di sneered, "At such a young age, you speak nonsense. Given your age, it is simply impossible for you to get married, and saving a life is your own merit."

Xiao Ling pulled me aside and whispered, "We don't know who they are, let's go back first!"

The person following behind immediately drew out a sharp scalpel, and I instantly understood what they intended to do. I shouted at the top of my lungs: You have hurt me, my wife will not let you go.

I still shake my head, as I currently have little concept of money. If I had mingled in society for a few years, I might have really sold out.

She was filled with anger, struggling incessantly. However, the person wielding the knife showed no concern and raised their hand to strike down.

The person with the knife hurriedly approached, forcibly bending my fingers, leaving only the ring finger unbent. My face turned pale, and I began to stutter, saying, "Don't cut, I will get it for you."

I shouted loudly and began to curse, but the three of them paid no attention, pulling so hard that I felt my hand might dislocate, yet the ring remained unmoved

The bright blade fell down, and I was so frightened that I let out a strange scream. Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Xiao Ling rushed in angrily, saying, "If you harm him, the entire Laoshan will pay the price."

The elder grunted, signaling to take action

Before I entered the room, I saw him with a face full of sorrow, and I couldn't help but say: "I do not know about your master's situation, but the ring is equally important to me"

After we conversed for a few minutes, the two yellow talismans at the cave entrance suddenly emitted a glow. Geng Hao made a gesture for silence and drew the long sword in his hand, only then did I realize it was a wooden sword. He lay at the cave entrance, his expression focused

Moreover, during my school days, I learned that Laoshan is a sacred place for Taoism; I believe that they cannot be too bad regardless of the circumstances

"Longan has an owner; we are merely borrowing it to suppress the fierce veins. Claiming it as our own is nothing but asking for trouble." Geng Hao's voice also turned cold as he advanced step by step.

After exiting the cave, I continued deeper into the mountains. As I passed by the place where the stone guardian was located, I felt a bit anxious. That is the guardian of my home; what if it were to be lost?

Little Ling whispered, "There are many such unknown ancient villages, so there is no need to be overly surprised."

The White Princess beneath Wanling Peak. Xiao Ling's words seemed to cast a spell, and the entire room fell silent. Everyone present was stunned, and I was somewhat bewildered as well. If my sister-in-law is truly a princess, then my nickname, Little Prince Consort, must be...

Geng Hao led us to the front of a large mansion, which appeared larger than my sister-in-law's house from the outside, but the interior decoration was quite inferior. We had barely sat down when an elderly man in his fifties entered the living room and eagerly asked, "Where are the longans?"

Little brother, regarding the matter of the fierce vein, we few are certainly unable to handle it; we must first return to the mountain gate. However, since you have obtained the dragon eye, you must follow us. If you do not intend to accompany us, you cannot take the dragon eye with you.

You all ... ... I was so scared that I was almost crying, but my body just couldn't move

Grandfather is gone, and my sister-in-law is my only relative. In times of danger, I still think of her. Qiudi rolled her eyes and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Spirit stones are so precious, how could there be many of them"

Geng Hao noticed a change in the situation and thought that I was afraid of the long journey. He explained, "Laoshan has a garrison nearby, and we do not need to go to the mountain gate. After calling my master uncle, we can head to Sujia Village."

I glanced at Xiaoling, who reluctantly took it out. The old man casually glanced at it and returned it, then pulled me aside and asked, "Do you know where the gem on the ring comes from?"

Seeing this, Xiao Ling suddenly stopped struggling, no longer shouting threats, and coldly said: "White Princess!"

The old man furrowed his brows slightly, "Are you referring to that White Princess?"

The old man let out an "Oh" and, after regaining his composure, asked again: "This is the Yang eye, what about the Yin eye?"

Before long, the sound of a rooster crowing came from outside, and I instantly stood up. Xiaoling pressed my hand and said, "It's fine, there is a talisman covering the cave entrance, the soul-guiding rooster cannot detect our presence, and the man in the black robe will not be able to find us."

I thought that Xiao Ling had some abilities and would surely be able to stop them, but as soon as she finished speaking, a few people came up from behind and forcibly restrained her.

Indeed, before long, the sound of the rooster faded away. Geng Hao got up from the ground, and I hurriedly asked him: "When are we going to Sujia Village?"

Geng Hao and the others were also taken aback, and Qiu Di asked suspiciously, "Are you really married?"

Xiao Ling and I were immediately on guard, watching the old man warily. Qiu Di stood up and said, "Shishu, they have already taken the longan, but they will follow to the Su family village's ominous vein."

Hmm! Geng Hao interrupted my words, "You should rest early!"

I glanced at Xiao Ling, and she let out a sigh of relief, whispering, "As long as it's not the leader of Laoshan, they won't be able to tell."

It may be that my cultivation is shallow, and I cannot perceive any aura from the longan, but I still followed his instructions.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the elderly man entered, followed by several strangers. He walked to the bedside and said in a seemingly kind manner, "Do not be afraid, we will give you the money, and you will not be treated unfairly."

I nodded slightly; in fact, there is nothing to be overly surprised about, as the Zhuge Village discovered a few years ago is quite similar to this type of settlement
