Wang Yao saw Jinxiu lying on the high platform, curled up. She still maintained her original state without facial features, and it was impossible to tell her condition from the outside. However, since Madam Lian said she was fine, there should be no major problem.
The red light flashed and then vanished. In a short while, the red platform returned to its original state, no longer transparent to the outside, and the brocade disappeared into the platform.
Although this visit didn't significantly help Wang Yao understand Jinxiu's physical condition, Lady Lian clearly used this method to reveal some secrets of the Mother Nest to Wang Yao, allowing him to sense her goodwill.
"As for your companion, my newly recognized immortal brother, he is currently in my harem, waiting to marry me." After speaking of Jinxiu, Lady Lian smiled slightly and continued.
"The... harem? No, Lady Lian, can't you find a husband from another race? This one is a serving immortal in the Heavenly Court, I'm afraid if something goes wrong..." Wang Yao was shocked to hear this.
"What? Does the Heavenly Court discriminate against our Holy Domain race? Can't I, this lady, find an immortal to be my husband?" Lady Lian's tone hardened slightly.
“That’s not how it is. Li Kui is on official business. If you…you eat him after that, the Heavenly Court will definitely hold you accountable. If you find a wandering immortal or something outside the system, then it doesn’t matter,” Wang Yao hurriedly explained.
"Well, my tribe has plenty of food. Not eating him won't affect my pregnancy. Since the Old Man of the Moon is worried about your companion's safety, I'll give you face and spare him later."
Lady Lian hesitated for a moment, then agreed not to eat Li Kui. However, judging from her tone, she was still unwilling to let him go easily.
“Well… Li Kui isn’t very charming. He’s disliked by the fairies in Heaven. I think it would be best for Madam to find a powerful Saint Realm expert as her husband, someone like that Marshal Lang. Li Kui…” Wang Yao was still not entirely at ease and wanted to persuade Madam Lian to give up on Li Kui completely.
That "eating one's husband" is a custom here. And what custom can you just refuse to eat someone? Lady Lian may have nice words, but what if she accidentally eats Li Kui? What can he do then? Even if he kills Lady Lian, it will be too late! Besides, he doesn't have that ability.
“If Jinxiu hadn’t been injured, I might not have needed to find another man. After all, I’m past my prime, and even if I were to give birth, the quality of the child would be greatly reduced. It would be better to wait for Jinxiu to build a new mother nest, so that my Yi clan’s strength can recover faster.”
“But now, Jinxiu is injured and needs time to recuperate. Our Yi clan has also suffered repeated wars and its strength has been severely damaged. I have no choice but to give birth to another child to buy time for Jinxiu.”
"Of course, I also hope to find a suitable Saint Realm expert, but in such a hurry, how can it be so easy? Even if it is Marshal Lang, it is only thanks to your methods, Old Man of the Moon. If my Yi Clan were to capture him, how could he possibly submit so easily?"
"As for your companion, there is of course a more suitable candidate than him, which is... you, the Matchmaker. How about... I release him and invite you into the harem? Don't worry, Matchmaker, I would never eat you."
Lady Lian patiently explained to Wang Yao in detail, and at the end, she even smiled, her words full of seductive charm.
"Um... well... how can my physique compare to Li Kui's? Just look at those two big axes of his, I'm far inferior to him. When it comes to being a husband and bearing children, Li Kui is more suitable than me."
Upon hearing Lady Lian's words, Wang Yao was dumbfounded and stammered an excuse. "Better to sacrifice a friend than myself," he thought. "Lady Lian is determined to find an immortal to enter the harem. Since I can't persuade her, it's better for Li Kui to go in than for me to go myself."
"My fertility was already failing ten years ago. Now, when looking for a husband, I don't care about his physical condition. Instead, I care more about spiritual compatibility. In my opinion, finding someone who is compatible with me and whom I can entrust my heart to is more to my liking than finding a breeding machine."
"Lord of the Moon, after this battle, I am truly weary and long to find a reliable partner to rest. If you marry me, the Yi tribe will be yours in the future, and I am willing to make you the king of the Yi tribe."
"You can have whomever you fancy, along with all the children of my clan. We will serve you in bed or go through fire and water for you, as long as you become my husband. We will do whatever you wish."
When Lady Lian began to speak, there was a hint of teasing in her tone, but by the end, even Wang Yao could tell that she seemed to be expressing genuine feelings.
The past wars, the potential dangers of the future, and the precarious situation of the Yi tribe had left Lady Lian exhausted. She said she wanted to find a reliable ally, which was truly from the bottom of her heart, and Wang Yao was moved by her words.
But Wang Yao immediately realized that he couldn't be soft-hearted about this kind of thing. He couldn't just let whoever he liked be whoever he wanted. He wasn't a stud! He was just a small matchmaker, not big enough to lift up Lady Lian's big head.
“Well… Madam is too kind. I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to with Commander Lang. I will go find him now. Madam, please continue with your business. I… I will not disturb you any longer…” Wang Yao’s expression changed as he spoke, and he turned and walked out of the hall.
Lady Lian did not stop him, but just watched Wang Yao's back as he left with a smile. However, the smile on her face gradually disappeared completely.
