I didn't expect that this conversation would bring Hu Lingshang here. But I know that she has no idea what the so-called wife means, so she accepted it so easily. After all, it is understandable that she is a newcomer to this world and doesn't understand many things.
At this moment, the door outside was not closed yet, and I saw Hu Lingshang coming back with those little foxes. I was thinking about when to go to Xiying City in the canyon to apologize, but I didn't expect that she came back early, saving me this step. At this moment, she came in through the doorway, leading a group of little red foxes, and the red foxes immediately ran to accompany Sanfu. Only she walked through the courtyard and came into the house.
"I also want to be Zhou Lang's wife." Hu Lingshang repeated.
I walked towards her, and saw her orchid jade fingers, her pretty eyes slightly fixed, her head lowered, and she looked shy. Since she was shy, I thought she knew a lot about the relationship between men and women. I didn't dare to have too many extravagant expectations of her, so I said, "Lingshang, I'm very happy that you can come back. I also know that you don't know that much about the relationship between husband and wife, so you can't help but speak without thinking. As for your request just now, I will pretend that I didn't hear it. I'm sorry to tell you that I lost my temper and drove you away. Now I think I shouldn't have said that to you. Now as long as you come back, it's fine. You don't have to learn from them."
She looked at me with a charming look on her face, and said coquettishly, "Silly boy, if I was really angry with you, why would I come back to find you, Zhou Lang? As for the matter of husband and wife, isn't it just about spouses? There are also apes, mermaids, rats, and now hyenas on this island. I still roughly understand what's going on."
At this time, Bai Lu came up and said, "If you didn't come back before, it wasn't because you were angry with Brother Zhou Bo, then what was the reason? It was because you didn't want to cause trouble, and you only returned in disgrace when the world was at peace. Is that what you mean?"
Bai Lu's words made everyone feel awkward. I was more or less aware of this. She didn't help when things got tough, but now that everything has settled down, she came back in a huff. It was hard for others not to think of what Bai Lu said, a feeling of being a freeloader.
"Sister Bailu, it's okay. I'm glad you're back. Sister Lingshang came here for the safety of her fox clan. She was driven out by Zhou Bo, and the island is full of dangers. If she came to help us alone, wouldn't the little red foxes be put in danger? And just now, the hyena people were still hostile and threatening you. If she brought the little red foxes to rescue you, wouldn't they be coerced as well? So I can understand Sister Lingshang." Yunwen said.
At this time, Hu Lingshang moved away from me, without any angry look on her face, but said: "Sister Yunwen is right, but this is only one of the reasons. The other is that although I am not angry with Zhou Lang, I am really angry with you, Bailu. You gossip behind my back, secretly mix up me and Zhou Lang, and use treacherous schemes to treat people close to you, which makes me really depressed, so I need to go out and relax to relieve my anger. Song Bailu, do you understand?"
When Bai Lu heard this, she was speechless. Although what she did was indeed to attract my attention, it was too immoral. However, it was understandable that she did not reflect on herself and took the initiative to get scolded.
"Sister Bailu, you really have to give us an explanation for this matter. We can't just let it go like this." Yunwen said.
Song Bailu's face darkened and he looked at me for a few seconds. I also said, "I also said that I would punish this matter and would not tolerate it."
She was full of grievances, and at this time Hu Lingshang came forward, took my hand, turned around and said to Bai Lu: "I said these not to punish sister Bai Lu, but just to explain. But from now on, there are rules for upper and lower, and Bai Lu should also know the rules. Sister Yunwen is the wife of the principal wife, you are a concubine, and I am also a concubine. Therefore, you will get as much as you deserve in the future. Don't gossip anymore, and don't sow discord, otherwise you will really be punished. In the future, we must follow the rules when supporting our husbands and raising our children. In addition to the words of the husband, we must also listen to the arrangements of the principal wife, so that there can be harmony between the upper and lower."
I coughed. Now that I said that, I really looked like an emperor, and the concubines in the harem started to behave themselves.
Bai Lu sighed. Although she would have to admit that Yunwen was one level higher than her in the future, and this would be a long process, if she refused, she would lose the status that she had fought so hard to win as my wife. There were more wolves than meat on a deserted island, not to mention that there was only one man. Besides, I was a tall and majestic man, and I was a good choice even in the civilized world.
Therefore, she has lost her status and can only be addressed as my teammate from now on. She will definitely not agree with this. Besides, she was the one who used some bad means in the first place. Now that Hu Lingshang has made it clear and established the rules, it is understandable. She should accept it both emotionally and logically.
"Okay, I understand. As long as Zhou Bo agrees to marry me, I can endure all these things." Bai Lu said.
"This is the best arrangement, what do you think, my husband?" Hu Lingshang changed her mind.
I suddenly felt uncomfortable, coughed again, and blushed. I said, "We haven't gotten married yet, so don't change your mind. Wait until the ancestral hall is built, and then we can consider it as having parents to worship heaven and earth, and then do this. Also, Hu Lingshang, you should also think carefully about this matter. This is a very serious matter. Are you really willing?"
Hu Lingshang smiled, her smile was as sweet as a silver bell, and said: "Of course, the fox tribe has no one to rely on, and I need to give them some stability and support, and Zhou Lang is the best choice. Moreover, I have never beaten around the bush. I have said that I have admiration for you, Zhou Lang, and I have already regarded you as my spouse, but Zhou Lang has never been willing to admit it."
"Wow, he has either been single for more than 20 years, or he has married three wives? This is too much. My little heart is not excited enough. Not only me, but my mother's heart might not be able to take it if she knew. She has been thinking about arranging blind dates for me every day." I said.
The girls burst into laughter, and their laughter was like a symphony. All three of them were extremely beautiful, each with her own merits. They were all great beauties, and the sound of their laughter was as pleasant and distinctive as their people. When they laughed together, it was truly as beautiful as a painting, and extremely pleasant to the ears, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.
I scratched my neck, thinking that these three people will all be members of my Zhou family in the future. I couldn't help but feel excited and full of imagination.
After laughing, everyone chatted for a while and then felt tired, so they tidied up the house and Bai Lu went to prepare food. Yunwen was also very happy today and went to help. Only Hu Lingshang stayed with me for a while. I still couldn't believe her. After all, she was so beautiful and was transformed from a thousand-year-old white fox. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a fairy. However, she chose a mortal like me and was willing to be my concubine. I had never dared to think about this before.
However, as the saying goes, everything turns to its opposite, happiness turns to sadness, and everything turns to worry. This is the truth. At this time, Hu Lingshang saw the other two girls leave, and then she said, "Zhou Lang, do you know why I suddenly came back today? It's because you have already eliminated the enemy."
"Because what?" I asked.
"I don't know why, but I felt palpitations when I went out the day before, so I inspected the situation on the island. It would have been fine if I hadn't looked for it, but when I did, I was really scared. Does Zhou Lang still remember the Netherworld Cave?" Ling Shang asked.
"The Netherworld Cave? I don't remember it and have never heard of it." I said.
"It's the big pit we encountered on the way to the Five Poison Mountain." Ling Shang said.
I immediately recalled that there was a big pit, which was the place where the roots of heaven and earth were pushed down, and there were no birds or beasts there, so I nodded.
"There have been some disturbances there recently, and some things have started to crawl out. The sisters were all here just now, and my crawling would have affected everyone's interest, so I didn't say anything. This time I will talk to you, Zhou Lang, about it so that we can make plans." Bai Lu said.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered what Yunwen said when she was communicating with the birds. The birds said that they saw many people coming, some of whom were taller than the trees. I instinctively thought they were mermaids, but later I learned that the hyena people and the mermaids were ambushing me behind the trees, so there was no "coming" at all. Since it was not them, could it be that the birds were talking about the things that came out of the tiankeng?
