Chapter 182 The Patriarch Gives Gifts
Manager Hua looked respectful and bowed slightly to Chen Wan'er and the others.
“Dear guests, please take a rest here. I will go and invite the patriarch to come.
You can rest assured, we, the Mandala Flower Clan, have always valued morality and will never force you to stay."
Chen Wan'er and the others looked at each other, since they couldn't escape for the time being.
Then stay and see what other tricks they can come up with.
The steward Hua left in a hurry, and the little princess seized the opportunity.
He immediately stood up from the ground and walked quickly to Chen Wan'er.
Her eyes were full of pleading, and she almost fell to her knees with a plop.
"Sister Chen, please, take me with you!"
The little princess cried and said anxiously:
“I have collected countless rare treasures, and as long as you agree, I will give them all to you.
Moreover, you are new to the demon tribe and are unfamiliar with the place, so you really need a guide, and I am definitely the most suitable candidate.
There is nothing in the entire demon race that I don't know. No matter where you want to go, I can lead the way."
Chen Wan'er looked at the little princess quietly, her eyes sweeping across her face, but she did not respond immediately.
Seeing Chen Wan'er remained silent, the little princess became increasingly anxious and quickly said:
"Sister Chen, I didn't recognize you at first and misunderstood you.
I thought you were just a pretty face with no real purpose."
Chen Wan'er couldn't help but chuckle and jokingly said, "You don't have to belittle yourself like that."
When the little princess heard Chen Wan'er finally speak, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
He said hurriedly, "Sister Chen is absolutely right. I am the vase that looks good but is useless.
And you, my sister, are a queen of extraordinary strength, unparalleled charm, and everyone loves you."
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me and take me with you to explore the world!
With my title as the little princess of the Mandragora Flower Clan, you will be able to act much more smoothly in the future and save yourself a lot of trouble.
If you don't trust me, I'm willing to swear an oath to heaven.
To prove my heart, I will never do anything to hurt you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little princess did not hesitate and immediately began to swear the oath to heaven.
"As long as Sister Chen agrees to take me with her, I promise to follow her lead in everything from now on.
I will never say a word and will never sell out or betray them.
If you break this oath, my entire Mandragora clan will suffer divine punishment.
It will be reduced to ashes and there will be no chance of recovery."
The little princess spoke very quickly and fluently.
There was no pause or hesitation, as if he was afraid that any delay would arouse Chen Wan'er's suspicion.
At this moment, the clan leader hurried over and just heard the last few words of the little princess's oath.
His eyes suddenly widened with anger, his face flushed red, and he shouted angrily: "This is simply nonsense!"
Chen Wan'er also felt that she was a little crazy, so she swore.
Why didn't she talk about herself? She just let the whole family take the blame for her.
Hearing her father's roar, the little princess cleverly dodged and hid behind Chen Wan'er.
She knew in her heart that as long as she hid behind Chen Wan'er, her father's anger would not be able to affect her.
The clan leader suppressed his anger, looked at Chen Wan'er, and said with a bow:
"My dear friend, I already know what happened just now.
Little girls are naughty by nature and have offended many people. It is because I have not disciplined them strictly on a daily basis. I hope you will forgive me and take my apologies."
Chen Wan'er wore a polite smile on her face, waved her hand and said:
"Okay, okay, it's okay."
If she hadn't shown off those two skills just now, would her father still pay so much attention to her?
The clan leader looked at Chen Wan'er gently and asked:
"Young friend, you've entered the demon tribe's territory this time, presumably to gain experience, right?"
Chen Wan'er nodded slightly, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, and waited quietly for the patriarch to continue.
"To be honest, the situation among the demon race is not peaceful right now."
The patriarch frowned slightly and said solemnly:
"The various demon clans often fight each other over scarce resources and territory, and disputes are endless.
Since you are all friends of Young Master Tang Xuan, if you don't mind, you may stay in my Mandragora Flower Clan for a while.
Here, you can find proper shelter and have no worries about food and clothing."
Having said that, the patriarch paused for a moment and looked at Chen Wan'er sincerely.
"Of course, if you are determined to leave, I will not force you."
Chen Wan'er thought to herself that it seemed that the clan leader was a reasonable person, and things would be much easier this way.
She cleared her throat and said sincerely:
“We are deeply grateful for the patriarch’s kindness and appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.
But as practitioners of Taoism, we are committed to honing ourselves.
How can we always hide under the wings of others and seek shelter?
We still plan to leave today and use our own strength to venture into the outside world, gaining knowledge and experience."
After hearing what Chen Wan'er said, the clan leader couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes.
He nodded slightly and clapped his hands gently. Then he saw several demon servants carrying several exquisite boxes and walking forward steadily.
"It's a good thing that young people are energetic and ambitious. The younger generation is truly to be feared!"
The patriarch's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of admiration.
"These boxes contain a small gift from my Mandragora Flower Clan. It's not much of a token of respect, but I hope you can accept it."
Chen Wan'er looked at these boxes and couldn't help feeling a little doubtful.
There's something strange about sending something for no reason.
As the saying goes, "If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." Is there some mystery hidden in this?
She quickly waved her hands and politely declined, "The clan leader is so kind to us, it really makes us feel embarrassed.
As guests, it would be impolite for us to visit without bringing any gifts.
How could I accept the clan leader's gift? It's totally unreasonable."
"Don't worry too much, my friend."
The patriarch waved his hand and said calmly:
"I also have something to ask of you, so I resorted to this desperate measure, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden."
When the little princess heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately popped his head out from behind Chen Wan'er and asked excitedly:
"Dad, do you agree to let me go out?"
"Shut up!"
The clan leader glared at the little princess and said unhappily:
"Now it's not a question of whether I agree or not, but whether you are willing to take you with you.
You have no ambition to make progress all day long. Look at you, you are about the same age as my friend, but he has already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, while you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
You still have the nerve to keep clamoring about going out and making a living, without even considering your own limitations."
No, it’s not popular to praise and criticize like this nowadays!
Isn't this going to bring hatred to her?
Hehe, but Chen Wan'er likes it!
Then he looked at the boxes filled with treasures and thought that since there were so many precious treasures, it would not be a bad idea to take the little princess along.
After all, they had just arrived in the demon tribe and were in need of a guide.
It would be great if they could have someone who was sincere and would not deceive them to lead the way.
As for the fact that the little princess has low cultivation level, it is not a big deal. Anyway, we don’t expect her to go into battle and kill the enemy.
