Chapter 499: Marrying a Widowed Aunt (Added for "Lu Chen Lu Chen who likes diamond wood")
Finally, the door was opened.
Zhu Chuideng immediately walked out of the room.
When he saw the matchmaker, he was stunned.
"Po Wang, you and the village chief... look alike."
The village chief coughed and said, "She's my cousin. She married and moved to Mati Village many years ago. You younger generations rarely see her. Don't worry, I guarantee her character."
Zhu Chuideng had no objection after hearing this. This was the tradition of marriages in the countryside, with trusted elders acting as matchmakers.
He made tea and took out candy and rice wine to entertain the guests. The elders he knew had warned him in advance that if he wanted the matchmaker to sincerely help him find a good marriage, he had to be good at handling things.
The matchmaker did not eat. She walked around Zhu Chuideng's house, opened the barn to check the grain storage, went into the kitchen to check the rice jar, went to the door to check the number of chickens, ducks and geese, and looked around pickily.
Zhu Chuideng had never experienced marriage proposal and was waiting patiently on the side.
When the village chief asked about the betrothal gifts and the savings, Zhu Chuideng answered them one by one, "I have saved all the money."
The matchmaker walked around the house and finally stopped in front of Zhu Chuideng.
She held the blood-red silk flower on her temples, tried her best to act like an elder, and spoke in a dragging voice.
Zhu Chuideng felt that she seemed to be very afraid of him, and her voice trembled slightly when she spoke.
"The house is newly built, and the family has some savings. Compared to your peers in the village, your conditions are quite good, but..."
She deliberately dragged her words out here, leaving unlimited space for people to add to it.
The village chief quickly winked at Zhu Chuideng, "Boy, give me some benefits quickly."
Zhu Chuideng had no experience and didn't know how much to give. The village chief suggested: "Take out your life span and give a little."
The request was absurd, but Zhu Chuideng's consciousness automatically rationalized everything in front of him.
The village chief handed over the matchmaker's incense burner. Zhu Chudeng pressed the ear of the incense burner with his palm, and automatically had a hundred years of his life span taken away from him.
The matchmaker was now happy. She waved her red handkerchief and added the second half of her words: "But you are too old."
The matchmaker raised her orchid finger and said, "Girls still prefer boys of similar age. You are in a difficult situation."
She laid so much groundwork just to show the difficulty of her matchmaking and let Zhu Chuideng invest some money in her incense burner.
Zhu Chuideng didn’t care about it before, but now he doesn’t like people saying he is old.
"Po Wang, I'm only eighteen or nineteen years old."
"Puff——" The village chief was sitting at the table eating greedily, and he spat out a mouthful of hot tea when he heard this.
The matchmaker almost vomited Ye Xiaoman in her stomach and wanted to curse. She hated old men pretending to be young the most.
Do you have any shame? Ghost Lord, do you have some shame!
Zhu Chuideng added, "I asked you to be a matchmaker today, not to be a bride."
The rough man pursed his lips and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I want to take my widowed aunt back."
In Zhu Chuideng's current dream, his uncle died suddenly and inexplicably, and his aunt became a widow and was taken back by her family.
After much thought, he decided to take the risk of worldly pressure and marry his widowed aunt.
Ordinary matchmakers were unwilling to take this job, and they finally waited for Wang Po to come.
After hearing this, the matchmaker looked a little dazed.
Is this reasonable?
It's a demon beast, it doesn't know it! It vaguely feels that there's something wrong with Zhu Chuideng, but it's a demon beast, it was imprisoned not long after it was born, and it spent the rest of its life in prison, it doesn't have much social experience, and it can't say anything too dirty!
When Ye Xiaoman was seducing Zhu Chuideng in Zhu Chuideng's memory illusion, it hid nearby and saw it secretly. It didn't expect Zhu Chuideng to be so easily hooked.
The village chief, another incarnation of the Taotie Beast, came out to remind him, "Ghost...A Deng's request is not very reasonable, but if Wang Po works hard, she can help you fulfill your wish."
The matchmaker came to her senses and said, "That's right. The furnace god will grant any wish, as long as you pay a small price."
She pretended to be very embarrassed, "Your widowed aunt may be reluctant to agree due to the pressure of public opinion. I will lobby her well until she agrees."
Zhu Chuideng said, "She said she was willing to go with me."
The matchmaker retorted, "Then why didn't she want to stay and left with her family? If she didn't stay, it means she didn't like you that much."
Zhu Chuideng was silent.
The village chief nudged Zhuchuideng with his arm and said, "Grandma Wang, just tell me what you want as a reward. As long as our A-deng can afford it."
The matchmaker licked her upper lip greedily with her forked tongue. "I want half of your cultivation."
After she opened her mouth loudly, she and the village chief watched the lantern being blown out nervously.
After being repeatedly frustrated by Ye Xiaoman, the Taotie beast temporarily stopped believing in all the affection in the world.
Not a penny to give, bah.
Zhu Chuideng was deeply involved in it and did not think that the Taotie beast's demands were excessive. He was instilled with the idea that this was a world of equal exchange. In the land of rules, if you want something, you must pay a corresponding price.
Ye Xiaoman is worth half of his cultivation.
Zhu Chuideng didn't hesitate at all, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
The matchmaker sighed and spoke her prepared words: "If you don't want to, we can negotiate the price... Ah? You agree?!"
The huge pie that fell from the sky almost knocked the Taotie beast unconscious.
The village chief handed the incense to Zhu Chuideng with trembling hands.
The matchmaker trembled as she held the incense burner in front of Zhu Chuideng.
Zhu Chuideng was about to light the incense. He was not superstitious, but at this moment his face was full of piety, and he solemnly inserted the incense into the ashes of the incense burner.
The contract is established.
The transaction was completed automatically, and invisible power was continuously drawn out from Zhu Chuideng's body and flew onto the matchmaker.
The vigorous power in Zhu Chuideng faded away, and correspondingly, the power of the matchmaker increased dramatically.
The Taotie beast obtained the power of the Ghost Lord, and the aura of decay around it quickly became stronger, thousands or tens of thousands of times stronger than before it was liquidated by Jiaying, so powerful that it was frightening.
The Taotie beast was ecstatic.
After possessing half of the Ghost Lord's power, it finally broke free from the Ghost Lord's restraints and became free.
Ordinary monsters, after finally breaking free from the contract, will choose to flee without looking back, using the power of the ghost lord they were given to open the ghost gate and escape.
With this power, one can hide in the lakes, seas, mountains, and rivers, making it impossible for anyone to find them. As long as one practices diligently, one will eventually be reborn, transforming from a beast into a demon, and become a powerful figure under the banner of the Demon God.
But the Taotie beast is different. It is a greedy creature. Once it gets one thing, it wants more. After getting some power from the Ghost Lord, when it sees that the Ghost Lord is weak, it dreams of swallowing the Ghost Lord to avenge its enslavement and become the master of the ghost world.
The matchmaker's big red mouth stretched all the way to her ears.
"I'll go there right away and act as a matchmaker for you."
"I promise to grant you your wish and marry your widowed aunt."
"You can start preparing for your wedding from today."
A strange beast shadow on the ground stepped on Zhu Chuideng's figure, and the beast's mouth seemed to want to swallow Zhu Chuideng whole: "After the task is completed, I want other rewards."
Zhu Chuideng smiled faintly, yearning for a better life: "I will reward you with a generous gift."
