Chapter 159: Beast World Child Marriage
Seeing that the White Dragon Clan leader obviously had something to say to Ophelia, the females around all made excuses to leave.
Although Rebecca was not that shrewd, she could see that her cousin whom she had not seen for a long time seemed to have something to say.
She didn't mince words and asked directly, "Cousin, what's the matter?"
Bai Long didn't expect Rebecca to be so direct. After a slight pause, he decided to get straight to the point.
He looked at Ophelia and Taylor beside him and said slowly, "I heard that Ophelia can grow rice and raise wild boars. I wonder if our White Dragon Clan has a chance to learn this technology?"
"Don't worry, we won't learn for nothing. We will pay you."
Rebecca understood. Although she was her daughter's mother, she would not make decisions without her daughter's permission.
"Ophelia, you make your own decision on this matter."
Bai Long didn't expect Li Rebecca to say that, and the expression on his face changed.
But he soon regained his composure and looked at Ophelia sincerely.
"Ophelia, we are also related by marriage, don't worry. Your uncle will never let you suffer any loss."
Ophelia smiled disapprovingly. Most of the clan leaders who came to attend the full moon ceremony today came with a purpose.
They come either for rice cultivation technology or for pig farming.
So he was not surprised by the thoughts of the White Dragon Clan leader.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but growing rice requires a lot of open space. With more open space, there will naturally be less forest for hunting. This isn't a good option for you."
"Now that the pigs have just reached adulthood and haven't started breeding yet, we don't know how many piglets they will give birth to, and we're not sure if the piglets can be raised as well as these pigs."
"So I have no plans to distribute the piglets yet. If you really want to engage in breeding, I can give you some breeding rabbits and chickens."
"They are relatively easy to raise and can usually be eaten after two or three months."
Ophelia's refusal was well-reasoned and logical, so it didn't make people angry.
But Bai Ma's impatience made him frown. "How much meat can rabbits and chickens give? Instead of raising them, it's easier to just hunt a few more prey in the forest."
Said
Seeing that Bai Ma disliked raising rabbits and chickens, Ophelia and Taylor fell silent.
Even Rebecca put away the smile on her lips, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Bai Long glared at his son with dismay and scolded him harshly. "If you can't speak, then shut up!"
"Ophelia is thinking about us. She's worried that we'll waste time and effort and still end up with nothing."
"You don't know how to be grateful, and you feel wronged?"
Although Bai Ma was a little angry that his father scolded him in public, he was an obedient child and did not dare to refute him.
Even under the pressure of his father's eyes, he bowed his head and apologized to Ophelia and Rebecca.
"Aunt, cousin, I was too impatient and couldn't speak. I'm sorry."
Barenbu, who was only waist-high, saw this and quickly apologized for his father.
He took Rebecca's hand and whispered coquettishly, "Aunt, father doesn't mean to blame you. He's just a bit too blunt and doesn't know how to talk."
"Can you and aunt please stop being angry with father, or grandpa will beat him when he gets home."
Barenbu acted weak and pitiful.
The displeasure that Ophelia and Rebecca felt initially gradually faded away.
"Okay, okay, everything will be fine once the misunderstanding is cleared up." Rebecca spoke to ease the atmosphere.
Ophelia also said that she didn't care, and the matter was taken over.
After chatting for a while, Bai Long hesitated a few times before speaking again.
"Ophelia, what do you think of my grandson?"
"Barenbu has grown so tall at such a young age. He will definitely be very strong in the future."
"Hahaha, I feel relieved when you say that."
Rebecca was completely confused. "Cousin, what do you mean?"
"Cousin, we are already related by marriage. Why don't we strengthen our relationship and let Ophelia's female cub Wendy and my grandson be together?"
"Barenbu is my proudest grandson. When I am old, the position of the White Dragon Clan's leader will be his."
"I promise that he will treat the little female cub well in the future." Bailong said sincerely. Barenbu lowered his head slightly and blushed.
But he couldn't help but glance at the fair and tender Wendy in Ophelia's arms out of the corner of his eye.
Wendy's pair of black grape eyes rolled around, and she couldn't understand the conversation between the people.
The eldest brother, Cohen, was precocious and had inherited all the inheritance of male pterosaurs since he was born.
So he understood what companionship meant.
His eyebrows were furrowed like two caterpillars, and he looked at Barenbu with a scrutinizing look.
Barenbu felt someone's gaze falling on him, and he looked over based on his intuition.
Then he saw Cohen looking at him seriously.
He put on a kind smile, but the other party ignored it and turned his head away, no longer looking at him.
Barenbu touched his nose awkwardly, then pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the conversation between his grandfather and Ophelia.
When he heard that his grandfather wanted to arrange a marriage between him and a female cub, his first reaction was to resist.
But when he really saw Wendy, the resistance in his heart dissipated a lot.
When he saw Wendy's sweet smile towards him, he surrendered immediately.
The little female cub's smile was like an arrow that shot into his heart and could not be pulled out no matter how hard he tried.
He didn't know what liking or love was, but he thought it would be nice to be able to play with a beautiful female cub like Wendy for the rest of his life.
Ophelia couldn't believe what she heard, and she subconsciously looked at Taylor.
Seeing Taylor nodded at him, he knew he had heard correctly.
She was a little surprised. She really didn't expect that even in the animal world, "child marriage" had already emerged.
"Ophelia, what do you think of my proposal?"
Ophelia thought for a long time before she figured out how to reject him tactfully.
"Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but Wendy is still young. It's unreasonable to ask Barenbo to wait until she grows up."
"And now they don't even know what companionship is or what love is."
"If we randomly arrange partners for them, it would be disrespectful to them and even delay their future happiness."
"Ophelia, you can rest assured about this. I can promise you that when Barum grows up and breaks his oath and refuses to be with Wendy, he will lose his qualification to inherit the position of White Dragon Clan leader."
Seeing Bailong being so serious, Ophelia didn't know what to say. If she said too much, people would think she disliked them.
"Uncle, let's wait until the children grow up before we discuss this matter. It's too early for us to worry about this now."
Seeing that Ophelia did not completely explain the matter, the White Dragon Clan Leader did not press the issue any further.
He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, we'll talk about this when they're a little older."
He lowered his head again and patted Barumbo's head. "Did you hear that, Barumbo? You'll have to work harder if you want to be Wendy's partner."
Barenbu's ears turned red and he nodded vaguely.
