That speed is comparable to that of a leopard.

“I’m not interested in you, so stop bothering me. And you, He Erniu, no matter how hard you try to suppress your voice, it’s still awful. What did I do to offend you that you have to come and disgust me? I didn’t want to say anything harsh to you before, after all, you’re young ladies. But please, go and look at yourselves in the mirror, okay? Look at yourselves, and then look at me. Are we a good match? I know you’re only after the five taels of silver my mother gave you as a bride price. Don’t worry, my mother said that all the money in the house has been used to rebuild the house. There’s no money for a bride price. If you marry me, you’ll get nothing. Are you willing to do that?”

Jin Lu made up an excuse at random.

Sure enough, the two sisters' faces fell instantly.

"Do you think you're some reincarnation of Pan An? You're as skinny as a pheasant. If Mother hadn't sent us, do you think we'd want to come? Erniu, let's go home. You want to get married without a dowry? Go get an egg!"

He Danu glared at Jin Lu with disdain.

He grabbed his younger sister and left.

Without stopping for even a moment.

Jin Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

If he had known it was so easy to solve, he would have used this excuse a couple of days ago.

Along the way, we encountered several more girls.

Using the same words, I angered them all and they all left.

Without exception.

Upon hearing that there would be no bride price, everyone's expression changed drastically.

That's so damn realistic.

Jinlu looked at his reflection in the stream with suspicion.

Is he really that ugly?

Actually, that's not the case. Jin Lu was not ugly at all; in fact, he could be a star in modern times. But in ancient times, looks weren't important. As long as a man could afford the bride price, had a good family background, and was physically strong, there were plenty of women lining up to marry him.
