"Uncle, I'm sorry, Xiangxiang may not be able to shoulder her responsibility and protect the Iron Dimension anymore. I'm the one who should feel guilty." Xia Xiang approached the Alliance Leader, squatted down, and nestled on his lap like she did when she was a child, her voice choked with sobs.
"Xiangxiang, please don't think like that," the leader gently placed her hand on her head.
“Our Xiangxiang is the bravest and most responsible, but Uncle hopes that this will not become a burden for Xiangxiang. The Iron Dimension belongs to everyone and needs everyone's protection. If we have to protect it all by ourselves, we would be heartbroken.”
The leader sighed and said with a smile, "At that time, your brother Jiuwu will also keep arguing with me. If I die, he might even be brought back to life by my anger."
Then, with some concern, she said, "Xiangxiang, you must have learned about the arranged marriage from the Swift Walker, right?"
Xia Xiang nodded. She didn't understand why her master and the alliance leader had to bring this up with her. It shouldn't have much to do with her, right?
“This is all Uncle’s fault. He made the decision to arrange the marriage, and it was for the stability of the Iron Dimension. Now the Demon Realm is eyeing us covetously, and the Iron Dimension cannot afford internal strife at this time. I also wanted to spare him from having to work so hard.” The Alliance Leader’s tone was full of worry.
Xia Xiang was filled with doubt. What right did she have to blame them? They were really strange.
However, whenever she thought of Jiu Wu, she felt like she had eaten a lemon seed, which was both bitter and astringent.
She both wanted to see him and didn't want to see him; in that sense, she was actually quite strange herself.
"This arranged marriage doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, so why should I blame my uncle?"
Xia Xiang looked up and wiped her wet eyes, then piled all the precious medicinal herbs she had gathered from the Thousand-Foot Frost Cliff and the snacks she had obtained from the Swift Walker onto the Alliance Leader's desk.
"I believe you are doing this for Jiuwu's good, and he will understand your good intentions."
The leader frowned: I'm even more worried now, what should I do?
Jiu Wu is his son, and he knows him best. If it weren't for Xiang Xiang, he might have resisted, but he carries the responsibility of the Iron Dimension and the Jiu Da Chang Lao family, so he might have accepted it later.
They probably don't want a marriage alliance now because they're waiting for Xia Xiang, but Xia Xiang is still a child, and her current reaction shows she doesn't have any plans.
If that's the case, then Jiuwu will have a tough time.
"Uncle, I picked these precious medicinal herbs myself. I kept only the ones that are beneficial to your health, hoping they will help you." Xia Xiang placed the herbs on the empty table next to her.
The towering cliffs are so high that they contain many mysterious and exceptionally precious medicinal herbs.
It used to take the lab staff a lot of effort to collect them, but it became much easier after she went there. Of course, she didn't collect herbs for them for free; she kept a lot for herself as well.
The people in the lab weren't stingy with her either; they would give her a copy of almost every new thing they researched, and she learned a lot from it. Otherwise, how could she have cured Yuan Xiaoxiao?
"Hahaha!" The leader of the alliance laughed heartily, praising the young girl profusely. Then, as she said goodbye, he suggested that the East City Guard take care of her in the Gold Dimension.
"I don't need them to take care of me. I'm already very capable. Don't you believe me, Uncle?"
"Then take this," the leader said, placing a gold medal in her hand.
“I know that Xiangxiang has her own ideas. If there is anything that is inconvenient to do, you can discuss it with Dongchengwei. Without disrupting the order of time and space, Dongchengwei will take your orders as priority.”
"No way!" Xia Xiang immediately refused. "This is the supreme gold medal, I can't accept it..."
The leader's health is deteriorating. If something unexpected happens, at least there's still a plaque. If it's given to her, wouldn't Jiuwu's situation become even more difficult?
"You can't refuse, it's an order," the leader said seriously, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
"Yes," Xia Xiang knelt on one knee to receive it.
"Alright, go ahead," the alliance leader said with tears in his eyes, waving her away with a smile.
Xia Xiang was a little reluctant, but to avoid being discovered, she teleported away.
As soon as Xia Xiang left, Jiu Wu ran in from outside.
"Dad, where's Little Fatty?! Is she back? Where is she?" Jiu Wu paced anxiously in the study, even searching under the chairs, but there was no trace of Xia Xiang.
"Jiuwu, what have you thought about regarding the marriage alliance?" The old alliance leader interrupted him calmly as he saw him rummaging through things. "Huyan Qing will be back soon, and I hope you will go to pick her up then."
"I disagree. Don't say it again." Jiu Wu stopped what she was doing and firmly refused. "What era are we living in? Can't we just stop with this nonsense?"
"Don't think about things that aren't relevant," the leader said seriously. "The difference between you and Xiangxiang now is more than just age."
"Don't be willful anymore. When you sit in this position, you'll realize you have no right to be willful at all."
“I’m not being willful,” Jiu Wu insisted. “I believe I can shoulder my responsibilities and take on the future of the Iron Dimension.”
“I never complained about how hard or tiring it was before, but as for this arranged marriage, I’m not willing, and the other party may not be willing either.”
"Xiangxiang is still a child. She only sees you as her older brother. She probably doesn't think the same way you do," the old leader advised.
"Dad, just focus on your work. There are some things you don't understand." After saying that, Jiu Wu turned and left.
They know absolutely nothing, and they don't even know what they're trying to stop.
Old Alliance Leader: ...
