Chapter 9 My Wife Doesn't Want to Marry You
Upon hearing this news, Pei Xiaoxing's heart sank heavily.
He suddenly realized that no matter how much Sheng Ran had changed, she was still the same person.
She said she would not hurt him in the future, but she never agreed to draw a clear line with the duck beast.
So, he still prefers the duck? He even ignores the existing marriage contract.
His expression turned cold, and Pei Xiaoxing asked earnestly, "Thank you for telling me, auntie. Are they by the river?"
"Just now we were at the riverside, and now we're at the marriage contract stage. Go quickly!"
…
Sheng Ran confirmed with the system that this duck has the same low energy level as her.
A first-level water-based ability is useless on land.
Judging from the pretty boy's short and weak appearance, he probably is no match for her in terms of strength.
The most important thing is that he is a coward.
Based on this alone, Sheng Ran dared to drag him out by the collar.
"What are you doing? Where are you taking me?" The duck beast's face turned red and he struggled and shouted in a rough voice.
Sheng Ran turned a deaf ear, maintaining the silence of a mute, and roughly pulled him to the center of the tribe.
"Marriage contract? You want to force me to marry you! This is not proper!"
The duck beast sounded horrified.
No matter how poor and backward the Zhangwei tribe is, it is still under the rule of the entire continental country.
There are elders who are responsible for witnessing marriages and registering the newlyweds one by one.
The duck beast wanted to escape, but the next second Sheng Ran tied his hands behind his back and grabbed him.
"Elder, help me! I can't marry such a tyrannical female!"
He cried out in pain and struggled as he spoke.
Sheng Ran forced him to kneel on the ground and stepped on his back, and he finally behaved himself.
The old man with white beard was not surprised. He stared at Sheng Ran suspiciously for a long time, and finally recognized her. "You are the girl from Central City! You want to marry her as a beast husband?"
More and more people gathered around, and even in the Beast World, gossip was a social instinct etched into their DNA.
"This is unbelievable! Forcibly marrying a married man? Is there any law left?"
"Who said Sheng Ran has become a better person! She's obviously more vicious than before, dragging people directly to the marriage contract platform!"
Sheng Ran nodded calmly, ignoring the noises around him.
The elder stroked his beard, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito. "But he already has a wife. According to the laws of this country..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wife he was talking about arrived in a rage.
"This is the end of the chapter, not the central city! You, Sheng Ran, will not be allowed to be so presumptuous!"
Hearing this sound, the crowd unconsciously made way.
Lai Jie's face was filled with anger, her pointed black ears stood straight up beside her ears, her leopard tail stretched like a long whip, her amber pupils staring at Sheng Ran, and there seemed to be fire burning in her eyes.
As expected of the clan leader's daughter, she exudes an aura whenever she appears.
Sheng Ran clearly felt that the duck beast under her feet shuddered.
It's not the joy of having a wife, but the guilt.
Her mind turned swiftly and she immediately understood.
It seems like they are cheating on both ends.
One side cheats you of money, the other side cheats you of feelings.
Sheng Ran was not displeased at being targeted in public. Instead, she gently curled the corners of her lips towards Lai Jie.
She just wants to make a fuss, the bigger the better.
Thanks to Lai Jie's scolding, most of the residents in the tribe were attracted. This was not something that she, a mute, could do alone.
Lai Jie was baffled by her smile. "I'm warning you, Zhou Baiya is my beastly husband, don't even think about taking him away!"
Sheng Ran is notorious at the end of the chapter, and Lai Jie comes here prepared for a fierce battle.
But Sheng Ran nodded in a talkative manner, and let go of the duck beast the next second.
Just agree to it?
Lai Jie frowned, and her eyes were full of scrutiny.
"Come on, you're smart!" Zhou Baiya climbed up from the ground, his face covered in dust and dirt. He changed his expression and said to her, "My dear wife, look at my handsome face. I almost got disfigured..."
Before the duck beast ran into Lai Jie's arms, Sheng Ran grabbed the Hetian black jade pendant hanging around his neck.
Such precious decorations are totally out of place in the Zhangwei tribe.
Lai Jie frowned, "Where did this come from?"
She never knew that Zhou Baiya, who was penniless, had the ability to carry a jade pendant of such quality.
"I..." Zhou Baiya shivered for a long time and couldn't squeeze out a word.
Sheng Ran raised her lips, things were finally back on track.
With so many people present, she wanted to see how Zhou Baiya would deny it!
After getting a pen and paper from the elder, Sheng Ran crossed out the three words "Marriage Contract" at the top and wrote with great force -
Debt note.
Everyone was shocked.
"What kind of unfair clause is that? If she can't be forced to marry me, I have to pay her? Then the male beasts in the tribe will run away when they see her in the future."
"That's not right. That jade looks very valuable. It really seems like a gift that Sheng Ran could give. It's only right to return it."
"This isn't something that can be solved by simply paying it back! Zhou Baiya already has a wife, yet he accepts valuables from other female beasts. This counts as extramarital affair, and he should be punished with caning!"
"Who knows if that black jade is real or fake? Maybe she just picked up a stone and used it to scam me. This is her way of snatching Zhou Baiya away!"
There were many different opinions, and the more they ate the melon, the more interesting it became. The villagers looked at the person involved excitedly.
Zhou Baiya's face turned red and white, and he snatched the paper and pen from Sheng Ran.
She can't be allowed to write anymore.
Sheng Ran was indeed suspected of harassment, but if everyone knew that he received more than just this, the nature of the matter would be completely different!
Didn't she like him very much? Why did they suddenly fall out?
Now that things have come to this, he can only deny it.
"Don't slander me! I never owed you anything. You just fabricated this debt to force me to submit!"
He also knew that Sheng Ran had become mute and could not make any excuses.
But he has a clever mouth and can turn black into white!
"Sheng Ran, don't you just want me to be your beastly husband? Fine, I'll obey! I only ask that you don't do evil things at the end of the chapter in the future, and don't embarrass my wife!"
He looks so righteous that those who don't know him would think he is the savior at the end of the chapter.
Sheng Ran didn't expect him to be so shameless.
[Even if it's forced, it's to force you to pay back the money, not to force you to remarry! ]
When Pei Xiaoxing arrived at the scene, the situation had become one-sided.
Everyone felt sorry for Zhou Baiya's "heroic sacrifice" and criticized Sheng Ran for being rude and unreasonable, and for having the nerve to fool people with just a stone.
He was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the wife did not force the new husband to marry her?
They couldn't hear Sheng Ran talking, but he could.
The dark pupils were once again filled with light, and Pei Xiaoxing only then felt that his blood circulation had returned to normal.
He pushed through the crowd and suddenly held Sheng Ran's hand.
"Don't be so delusional—"
The calm and powerful voice drowned out everything else. Pei Xiaoxing stood firmly beside her, becoming a bridge for her words.
"My wife doesn't want to marry you at all. What I'm doing today isn't about pestering you."
"She's here to collect a debt. Please return it."
Sheng Ran looked at Pei Xiaoxing in surprise and joy, and nodded frantically.
He understands her!
She took back the pen and paper and tried her best to recall all the treasures that the original owner had given to Zhou Baiya during this period of time.
After finally finishing the long list, Sheng Ran stood in front of Zhou Baiya without any hesitation, and the breath that was stuck in her chest was completely relieved.
The whole audience was in an uproar, and their eyes looking at Zhou Baiya changed instantly.
So this duck pretends to be obedient and loyal in front of his wife, but turns around and accepts gifts from other females!
Strike while the iron is hot, Sheng Ran opened her mouth, obviously wanting to say something.
Pei Xiaoxing tightened her grip and helped to express, "It's only natural to pay back a debt."
"If you don't believe me, you can go to his room and search. You'll find all the answers."
Sheng Ran standing by wanted to clap and cheer.
Pei Xiaoxing is so awesome!
Why does he say whatever she thinks?
We are totally in sync!
