What can you do to me if I don't comply?
As for the consequences--
damn it--
That damned previous Miao king, he's tricked him again.
Ah Chen roared inwardly.
He was puzzled. Why was this Miao king making an exception? If all the major Miao regions did this, wouldn't it be...?
Although Ah Chen was unhappy, he was only unhappy with the previous Miao kings.
The elders of the clan today are not wrong; they are simply following the rules set a thousand years ago.
It's just a bit old-fashioned!
However, they are stubborn in this matter. When it comes to the development of Miao territory, these old Miao people are not rigid in their thinking.
Moreover, they only showed the ancient books to Achen and didn't say anything else.
Perhaps they also know that times have changed!
Or perhaps, they believe that Ah Chen will make the best decision.
But for Ah Chen, as a young man, he has always insisted on one-on-one combat.
But the identity of the Miao King--
It's something glamorous and something you can follow.
Ah Chen was suffering inside.
But if we're talking about inner suffering, the one who suffered the most was probably Mi A-Ling.
The marriage between the spirit maiden and the Miao king is a tradition that has lasted for thousands of years.
In other words, it was destined from the moment the Miao King appeared in the world.
Suddenly, Ah Chen couldn't help but think of Mi A Ling's reaction when he mentioned her Miao marriage to her.
She wanted to keep it from me for now.
Ah Chen also remembered why, on the day he arrived at the Tianti Miao Village, just as those women were about to reveal that secret, Mi A Ling would appear in time.
turn out to be--
Also, why did she react that way when I asked her to drink with the man who had a Miao marriage with Mi A-Ling?
So you're asking for trouble? That's ridiculous!
However, just as Ah Chen was engrossed in thinking about these things—
The nine elders simply drank their wine; they didn't utter a single word.
Because they didn't know what Ah Chen was really thinking.
It was at this moment that Amo, Ayun, Aling, and the top old witches arrived.
"Well? Does Miao'er know?"
An old woman asked the three elders who were nearby in a low voice.
The three elders nodded.
When A-Ling saw A-Chen, she wanted to avoid him, since it concerned her. But as soon as she turned around, A-Mo grabbed her arm.
Amo whispered a few words in her ear, and upon hearing them, she stared at Amo in surprise.
After a moment, Ah Chen, who had been silent, raised his face, his expression calm, as if nothing had happened.
But when he saw that Amo and Aling had come over, he stared blankly for a long time.
A few seconds later--
He looked at everyone, and when the elder saw that he had finally raised his eyes, he hurriedly asked, "Achen, what do you think about this?"
"Yes, Miao'er, what are you thinking?" The old woman also came over.
Ah Chen's gaze swept across everyone in the room. This was ostensibly asking him what he thought, but in reality, everyone hoped that he would abide by the rules specifically set for him.
He thought for a moment and asked, "This is a bit sudden! Can I refuse?"
"cannot!"
The nine clan elders and several top old witches all said the same thing in unison.
Ah Chen smiled and said, "That's settled then! But this really happened so suddenly, you guys have to give me some time."
"Okay, okay, Ah Chen, as long as you don't object!"
be opposed to?
Ah Chen could object, but Mi A Ling—
If you truly disagree, the ancient texts make it very clear.
Those who are abandoned have only one fate.
Ah Chen didn't want the Spirit Maiden to sacrifice herself, because it was unfair to her.
However, this was also Ah Chen's idea, after all, he had lived two lives and was one of the most Sinicized.
But as a core member of the Miao people, and the soon-to-be Miao king in this life, he can understand many things.
It was for these reasons that he finally understood why Amo did not object to this matter.
It turns out that there are so many connections between the Holy Maiden and the Spirit Maiden.
If that's the case, why bother killing brain cells to struggle?
"Elders, Grandma, please don't force me, give me some time!"
"Moreover--"
"I need to talk to Ah Ling about this!"
Want to chat with Ah Ling?
Ah Ling is a spirit woman, and she is very insistent on her Miao marriage.
Moreover, they are the most stubborn when it comes to these unique rules that have been passed down for thousands of years.
"Alright! Then you two can have a more in-depth discussion."
"Yes, yes, we need to let the Spirit Maiden get to know you, Miao'er, better."
…
The elders smiled!
The old ladies, on the other hand, all chimed in with their own opinions.
After a while, once they had all finished speaking, Ah Chen turned to ask the elder.
"Elder, you said you'd come to see me when you had a little more free time. Is this what you're referring to?"
"There's another one--"
The elder clansman glanced at the old witches, and after they left—
The second elder carried out an exquisite and antique wooden box from the side.
Ah Chen wasn't surprised at all when he saw the wooden box.
Because he knew what was inside.
A few days ago, he went to Qiongmiao, and the elders there also took similar actions.
Exactly the same!
Sure enough, when the wooden box was opened, inside there was only an ancient book and a small piece of cowhide.
This half of the cowhide is just a bit larger than the one from Hainan Island.
The first time Ah Chen came into contact with it was last year when he came out of Tongmu Ridge, and the elders of the clan showed it to him.
This cowhide is connected to a secret realm. Only by finding all the cowhides and piecing them together into a map can one find the true treasure of the Miao region from a thousand years ago by following the route on the map.
