The day after Jun Qi returned, he took Xu Qiaoqiao to Grandpa Tu's place.
They claimed it was to invite the other party to witness it.
When Xu Qiaoqiao found out, Jun Qi had already pulled her in front of him, and Jun Qi immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the Tu clan elder, saying, "Grandpa Tu, I have transformed into human form."
Xu Qiaoqiao saw that the other person's eyes were full of praise and deep satisfaction, but these emotions were quickly dissipated. In the end, the Tu clan elder just snorted and said, "Not bad. Being able to transform into human form at this time is just right for adulthood."
At this moment, Jin Shanshan happened to be right next to him, but unusually, he didn't say anything. It was probably because of the elder of the Tu tribe that he didn't dare to shout in front of him and lose face.
"But you didn't come here just to tell me this news, did you? Tell me, is there anything else?" Tu Da looked at Jun Qi calmly, waiting for him to continue.
"hey-hey."
Jun Qi smiled sheepishly, scratched his head sheepishly, then stood up, took Xu Qiaoqiao's hand, and said earnestly to the Tu elder, "Grandpa Tu, I want to be with Qiaoqiao, and I want you to be my witness."
marry?
Jin Shanshan was stunned. She knew that Ahei and Qiaoqiao were together, but she was still shocked when the two of them came to ask the Tu clan elder to be a witness.
Sure enough, even Ahei was wanted.
Xu Qiaoqiao watched from the sidelines and finally understood what it meant. Did it really have to be so fast?
Her heart was pounding. Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi holding her wrist, feeling incredibly nervous and unsure of what to do. In her previous life, Jun Qi had handled all of this himself; she had simply put on her wedding dress and gone through the wedding ceremony.
Facing Tu Da's gaze, Xu Qiaoqiao smiled awkwardly. She grasped Jun Qi's hand in return, which seemed to give her courage. She took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa Tu, I really want to be with Ahei. Please be our witness."
He spoke haltingly, but his determination was evident in his words.
In the tiger clan, if a male and female want to be together, there are no complicated rituals like those in humans. They don't need to choose an auspicious day or anything like that. They just need to invite an elder of the clan to be their witness, kneel down to heaven and earth, and swear an oath to each other. Any day will do.
Of course, the Tiger Clan has more than just Earth Elder; there are four others: Fire Elder, Water Elder, Wood Elder, and Metal Elder, whose names are all derived from the Five Elements.
"Have you decided?" The Tu elder lifted his eyelids and asked the question.
Jun Qi nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, Grandpa, please be my witness." It was as if a virtual tail had appeared behind Jun Qi and was wagging back and forth.
Xu Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Me too, I only have Ahei in this life."
Seeing the two dolls' determined expressions, Tu Da blinked, lowered his head and licked his paws, as if he was thinking about something. During this time, neither of them made a sound.
After a while, he said, "Tomorrow, come again tomorrow."
"Oh!"
Jun Qi immediately realized what was happening and jumped up happily, picking up Xu Qiaoqiao and spinning her around several times. Xu Qiaoqiao wasn't as agile as Jun Qi, and it wasn't until Jun Qi put her down that she realized he had agreed.
Xu Qiaoqiao took Jun Qi's hand and knelt down with him, smiling as she said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
After saying that, Jun Qi carried Xu Qiaoqiao away.
"You...you just agreed?"
Jin Shanshan watched Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao leave, finally emerging from her shock. She flew onto the Earth Clan Elder's paw, tilted her head back, and asked.
The old Tu man lazily sat up, mumbling incoherently, "Why not agree? It's not easy for this child to find a good home."
A good home?
Ah Hei?
That sounds a bit odd.
Jin Shanshan frowned, pondering the old man's words. She felt they were true, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why; something about them just felt off.
"You're all elders now," Tu Da exclaimed, but what he said next made Jin Shanshan even more convinced that there was something wrong with her ears.
“Ahei was originally chosen as one of the next generation of clan elders. After I personally trained him, I am sure he can take on the role.”
Gilgamesh: ...
I really can't tell.
"Alright, go and prepare those things, I'm going to sleep."
Jin Shanshan obediently took flight, gave Tu Da a respectful bow in mid-air, and then flew away.
Xu Qiaoqiao's hand was held by Jun Qi, and she walked slowly with him, feeling a little lost. Jun Qi, on the other hand, was very natural. He hummed a song he had heard from somewhere, and skipped with every step he took, not walking properly, looking particularly lively.
He's in a good mood now; this is a major matter that's been resolved.
"Qiaoqiao, we're getting married tomorrow. According to human language, tomorrow should be the wedding day, right? I'm a little nervous. Are you nervous too?" Jun Qi suddenly stopped, walked to Xu Qiaoqiao's ear and whispered. He hugged Xu Qiaoqiao in his arms, wrapped his arms around her waist, and rested his forehead on her shoulder.
Feeling the warmth emanating from Jun Qi, Xu Qiaoqiao's heart seemed to calm down a bit. She hugged Jun Qi back, and upon hearing his words, she suddenly smiled.
"You seemed so natural just now, I couldn't tell you were nervous."
Jun Qi's muffled voice came through as he played with Xu Qiaoqiao's hair hanging down her back, his palms slightly sweaty.
"No, I'm very nervous, but I can't show it, otherwise Jin Shanshan will definitely laugh at me for something so serious." Jun Qi noticed as soon as he arrived that Jin Shanshan was looking at Xu Qiaoqiao.
A glittering joke?
Xu Qiaoqiao never expected it to be for this reason, so she couldn't help but laugh. She patted Jun Qi's head without saying anything.
They just hugged each other quietly.
"Speaking of which, Qiaoqiao, when exactly did you fall in love with me? Was it just because I'm a big tiger?"
"you guess?"
"My original form was so majestic and powerful, Qiao Qiao, you'll definitely like it!"
"you guess."
...
...
The next day, Jun Qi indeed brought Xu Qiaoqiao to Tu Da's place, but this time he didn't go into her room. This was the first time Xu Qiaoqiao had seen him in human form.
Judging from his appearance, he was already over seventy years old. His gray hair seemed to have its own ideas, and it was very messy. His eyes were gentle, and when he saw Jun Qi bringing Xu Qiaoqiao over, he smiled with relief.
"Grandpa Tu"
Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao called out together, and Jin Shanshan landed on the other's shoulder. She was also very happy to see Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao coming over, even though she and Jun Qi usually didn't get along.
Tu Da calmly said, "You're here. Let's get started."
