That old clan chief is really a scoundrel; it's as if he's afraid I'll change my mind if he tells me in advance.

However, since the other party is the head of a clan, he can't very well resort to torture to interrogate him if he doesn't want to talk about it.

While they were still in a daze, the old clan chief had already called the clansmen to gather around.

The old patriarch threw a magical artifact to the ground, and after seeing the artifact clearly, Zu An was completely bewildered.

Because that ritual implement was a red, stick-shaped object that looked like a carrot no matter how you looked at it.

In the blink of an eye, the carrot swelled up many times over, and then became... a giant carrot.

A group of people helped the two onto the enormous carrot. They sensed the array fluctuations on it, clearly indicating that it was a flying magic artifact.

Zuan then remembered Yumen Beiqing standing to the side and beckoned to her, "Ling'er, come here quickly."

Mikado Baiharu's face was grim, and he stared at him coldly.

Zuan thought that any woman would probably be unhappy to hear that her lover was going to marry another woman.

Now that they are both in a special other world, they dare not have any conflicts at this time, lest they get separated and cannot be found, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

So he went over and grabbed the other person's hand, secretly surprised that her hand was so cold. He quickly transmitted his voice and said, "Sister Ling'er, this is just a temporary stabilization of the situation. Don't mind it."

Mikado Baiharu said coldly, "Do you really have to be Yi?"

Zuan was stunned. He thought she was angry because he wanted to marry Chang'e, but he didn't expect that the reason she was angry was because he wanted to be Yi.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that the other party probably couldn't directly blame the Mermaid Queen, so they could only bring up his desire to become Yi.

After all, wasn't Yi's goal to marry Chang'e?

"Brother Yi died because he helped me. I need to investigate who killed him, so I have to agree to this for now," Zu'an explained, while also wondering why his sister Ling'er's usually gentle temperament seemed so different.

Hearing his answer, Mikado Baiqing's expression grew even colder. However, since he was pulling her along, she didn't break free and joined him on the carrot.

The giant carrot had plenty of space on it; even dozens of people could stand on it comfortably.

Without any apparent manipulation by the old patriarch, the carrot soared into the air, like a rocket flying horizontally.

The people on top couldn't even feel any wind; it was perfectly stable.

Zuan couldn't help but marvel at how exquisite the weapon-forging skills of the Chang clan, which looked like a primitive tribe.

At this moment, the old clan chief walked over and looked at Mikado Hyoharu, asking, "Nephew, who is this young lady?"

Many young people around also glared at Zu'an with hostility.

“She’s my sister,” Zuan paused, then added, “and also my confidante.”

The young people around them were secretly sneering, thinking, "What sister? Holding hands so tightly, they're clearly lovers."

Unexpectedly, he directly admitted to his intimate relationship with the other party, which further enraged them, and they immediately began to condemn him.

"This is outrageous! He has other women and yet he dares to provoke our Holy Maiden."

"Eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot!"

...

Seeing the anger level in the background soaring, Zu An was also in a bind. It was easy to imagine how high the reputation of Chang'e, the saintess, was in the Chang clan.

The old patriarch hurriedly raised his hand to stop the crowd from attacking: "Nephew, you are engaged to our Holy Maiden, I'm afraid you cannot be with other women..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zu An interrupted him, saying, "Your sister is deeply in love with me, and I reciprocate her feelings. I would never do something like abandoning someone after starting a relationship!"

Hearing his words, the young people of the Chang family became even more furious, and they began to denounce him excitedly. The anger value received by the back-end system exceeded 100,000 in the blink of an eye.

Mikado Miharu looked at the man standing in front of her, her expression calm. If it were before, she might have been touched by his actions, but now…

The Mermaid Queen hurriedly stepped forward to stop the crowd: "Please don't make things difficult for him. He and Sister Ling'er knew each other first..."

She glanced apologetically at Mikado Hyoharu. Although she liked Brother Zu very much, she was, in a sense, the third party.

She had thought she would never be with Brother Zu in this life, but now that she could marry him in this world—even if it was just a fake marriage—she was already very satisfied. She didn't want to hurt anyone, and she didn't want Brother Zu to misunderstand her.

Seeing the beautiful saintess protecting this man so much, the young men of the Chang clan were all driven mad with jealousy, contributing another wave of anger.

The old clan chief hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over: "Haha, my dear nephew, you are indeed a man of deep affection and integrity. Only with such a reliable man can we feel at ease marrying Chang'e to you."

The other tribesmen were dumbfounded: "But he already has another woman, how can he marry our Holy Maiden?"

"It's common for a man to have three wives and four concubines," the old clan chief said dismissively. "Look at me, I have several wives."

The other clansmen looked dejected, but some still clamored, "Even so, our Holy Maiden must be the principal wife, and the other women can only be concubines."

After saying that, he gave Mikado Baiharu a provocative look.

Mikado Baiqing sneered repeatedly, his murderous intent seemingly palpable.

The old clan chief stepped in again to smooth things over: "Wives don't distinguish between senior and junior wives; naturally, they should be treated equally."

Seeing that the man still wanted to argue, the old clan chief also got impatient: "Why should an outsider like you meddle in other people's affairs? Stop gossiping here and start thinking about the upcoming wedding arrangements."

The others were stunned. Could this really be happening?
