"Wait a minute!" Wang Yao was dumbfounded when he heard this. Being a father is no easy task. He had become Hui Shuo's father and still couldn't get rid of him. He had become a deadly burden. Now Lu Bu wanted to treat him as a father too. What was going on? Did he have a fleshy head from birth?
"Father, please grant my request! I will marry Diao Chan! I beg you to grant my wish!" Lu Bu ignored everything and kept kowtowing to Wang Yao.
Hearing others call him "father" one after another, Wang Yao couldn't help but have a strange feeling, as if Lü Bu had really become his son. Faced with his son's pleas, no father could truly harden his heart.
"Sigh, get up. It's not a big deal. I'll take care of it for you later. But..." Wang Yao stood there blankly for a while, listening to Lu Bu call him "father," and finally sighed, agreeing to his adopted son's request. But then he had another thought and added "but."
Calling someone "father" can be deceiving, but it's not an illusion. Wang Yao didn't lose his ability to think after hearing "father" a couple of times. He knew Lü Bu's character very well. He believed that Lü Bu was capable of calling someone "father" to their face and then betraying them.
Agreeing to arrange a marriage between Lü Bu and Diao Chan is no big deal. As the saying goes, whether the marriage will work out depends on whether Lü Bu can get past the Unyielding God. Even if the Unyielding God lets Lü Bu go, whether Diao Chan will like Lü Bu is another matter entirely.
Wang Yao had no intention of arranging a marriage for Diao Chan without consulting her.
Furthermore, Wang Yao didn't know if Lü Bu was acting crazy. Although the name "Diao Chan" was indeed quite special, and Wang Yao initially misheard "Diao" as "Diao," even if Lü Bu had a particular fondness for the surname "Diao," there was no reason for him to get so worked up just from hearing the name.
So when Lü Bu finally meets Diao Chan in person, will he be greatly disappointed? It's quite possible that he'll discover Diao Chan isn't his type at all, and instead begs him not to get involved in the marriage.
Therefore, agreeing to help Lü Bu and Diao Chan get together was not a big psychological burden for Wang Yao. After all, it was just a verbal promise, and it was not the same as actually helping Lü Bu get together with Diao Chan.
However, despite this, he only managed to whet Lu Bu's appetite. It was still uncertain whether he could completely subdue the boy. So, after softening his heart, Wang Yao frowned and blurted out "However."
When Lü Bu heard that Wang Yao had agreed to help him get married to Diao Chan, he was overjoyed. But when he heard the word "however," he paused and looked up at Wang Yao blankly.
"However, based on my understanding of Miss Diaochan, she has a strong sense of justice and hates those who are fickle and two-timing. You know, it's understandable for a girl to want some security in a relationship, but if you go there..."
"I'm afraid that Miss Diao Chan will have many bad associations with you, and the result... you know..." Wang Yao winked at Lü Bu repeatedly. On this city wall, in front of Lü Bu's war god, he really couldn't speak too clearly.
"What's so difficult about that? Father, please rest assured. If Miss Diaochan doesn't like it, I simply won't go there. When the demons attack, I'll just protect you as you escape to the Immortal Realm, and that'll be a good opportunity to meet Miss Diaochan."
Lü Bu, however, understood the meaning behind Wang Yao's words perfectly and readily replied.
As expected, Lü Bu was a man who could change his mind as easily as turning the pages of a book. When he heard that Diao Chan didn't like something, he didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately changed his mind about surrendering to the demons, and became determined to go to the immortal realm.
To put it nicely, this kid is a decisive and resolute man. To put it bluntly, he's a complete opportunist, always going his own way and completely unreliable. Anyone with a son like that would probably face a lot of pressure in raising him.
But it's really not easy for Wang Yao to refuse this son. Look how affectionately Lü Bu calls him "father"; he can't deny it even if he wants to.
"Get up. Whether we run away or not when the demons come, we should at least test the waters and fight them first."
Wang Yao irritably called Lü Bu to his feet, then casually put his hands behind his back and went to chat with Hui Shuo. Although he had recognized Lü Bu as his son, for some reason, he always felt a chill on the back of his neck when he was with this son, and it would be more comfortable to stay with Hui Shuo.
"Your son will follow your father's arrangements," Lü Bu said, bowing behind Wang Yao.
Wang Yao waved his hand in response, then unconsciously scratched his head, thinking, "Damn, why does this thing I'm using to make a living seem a bit unreliable?"
For the next two or three days, Bird Return Ridge was filled with a tense atmosphere. But soon the first wave of demon reinforcements arrived. Wang Yao originally planned to leave them behind to strengthen Bird Return Ridge's defenses, but when he saw the commander leading the army, he immediately changed his mind.
The commander of the first support army of the demon realm is surnamed Xie, but he is not Xie Zhong of the Zhanghuang clan. Instead, he is a member of the Hengxing clan, a large race in the floating ice sea of the demon realm. To put it bluntly, this General Xie is a big crab, and the people under his command are all aquatic creatures such as fish and turtles.
The demon realm sent a naval force first, didn't they? Wasn't the battle at Thousand Sails Port over? Why did Tongxuan think the divine realm needed to increase its naval power? Wang Yao was puzzled, but he couldn't keep this reinforcement, since there wasn't even a large lake within a thousand miles of Bird Return Ridge.
Leaving these guys here would be a waste; they could die of thirst, let alone fight.
