80: Chapter 80 That little thief, I can't accept it.
White Elephant King was slightly surprised. "I didn't expect you, kid, to have secrets. Do you know what the benefits are of becoming the son-in-law of a King-Sealing Divine Venerable?"
Kang Dalei was disdainful. No one could make him throw his life away; not a King-Sealing Divine Venerable, not anyone.
"I don't care what benefits you have. That girl of yours, this young master won't marry her, I just won't marry her."
"You would be able to walk sideways throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty."
White Elephant King's lighthearted words made Kang Dalei immediately stop what he was doing.
After thinking for only three seconds, he said again:
"Even if I don't marry your girl, I can still walk sideways."
White Elephant King suddenly laughed.
"Then are you sure you can walk away from my hands!"
"You..." Kang Dalei was speechless.
To be honest, he really had no confidence in fighting a King-Sealing Divine Venerable.
He could try against a Wujian Realm, but a King-Sealing Divine Venerable really made him shudder!
However, a real man born between heaven and earth, how could he be willing to live under someone else's shadow for long?
"I'll marry her."
"That's more like it." White Elephant King happily patted Kang Dalei's shoulder and let out a long sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he had no confidence in taking down the kid before him, it was just that it would likely take some effort.
Kang Dalei rolled his eyes and said grumpily:
"Then can you put down the divine weapon in your hand?"
White Elephant King smiled and nodded, retracting the thirty-meter broadsword he had been pointing twelve inches away from Kang Dalei's lower body.
"Rest assured, once you marry Xuaner, this King will not treat you poorly. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, any official position below the first rank is yours to choose."
Dispelling his aura, White Elephant King waved his hand, and the four of them appeared inside Qingya Residence.
"This is where this King cultivates. You and your maids can walk around as you please. This King will go first to treat my great-granddaughter's injuries."
Only now did White Elephant King remember that his precious great-granddaughter was still lying in the intensive care bed, with only one breath left.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to complain about Kang Dalei.
This choked Kang Dalei, who had to cough repeatedly to ease the awkwardness.
They were enemies just a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, she became his fiancée. This relationship transition was truly a bit fast.
At this moment, Qingyi and Chengyi beside him looked puzzled and said:
"Young Master, that old thing didn't do anything to you just now, did he?"
Kang Dalei shook his head. "No."
The two women breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, another compliment was offered.
"Master is truly amazing. You wiped out the Qian Family and fought six Divine Venerables alone, yet you are still unscathed."
"That's right, that's right. If you ask me, Master is the number one person below the rank of Marquis."
Listening to the two women's flattery, Kang Dalei immediately felt puffed up with pride.
"That is, that is. Not to mention that I can fight ten, fighting nine and a half is definitely no problem."
Grabbing the two women's small hands, Kang Dalei suddenly looked at them with a lecherous gaze and said:
"Seeing that you two are performing so well, come tonight, Master will reward you with a game of cards, four rounds for each."
"Master, you are so vigorous!"
The two women's eyes flashed with admiration.
Four rounds per person, wouldn't that be eight rounds for the two of them?
"Master is worthy of being the number one person in body refining; your body is truly good."
Qingyi gave a thumbs up, no longer looking like someone who would keep others at a distance, but rather a femme fatale throwing herself into his arms.
Kang Dalei was in high spirits, hugging the two women and looking for an empty courtyard to show off his authority.
On the other side, at the General's Mansion.
Bai Xuaner was lying on the bed, dying, and still muttering in her mouth.
"Bastard, you dare to hit me, I will definitely skin you and pull out your tendons."
On the side, the other defending general, the woman who had redeemed Bai Xuaner, couldn't help but sigh gloomily.
"Miss, you must hold on!"
As she spoke, tears fell. Just as her tears fell, a figure flashed past. At the moment the figure leaped over, everything around seemed to freeze.
Only when the figure landed steadily on the bed where Bai Xuaner was lying did the surroundings return to normal.
"Your Highness."
After time returned to normal, Bai Xuaner's maid, Yuer, immediately exclaimed, and then excitedly knelt on both knees, saying:
"This servant greets Your Highness."
White Elephant King waved his hand. "Get up."
Turning his head, he asked again: "How is the young lady?"
Yuer replied: "The young lady has been cursing that person, and even said she wants to tear him into ten thousand pieces."
White Elephant King stroked his beard and laughed, his face full of helplessness.
"Silly girl, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid it would take another few years to break through to the Great Sun Realm."
White Elephant King took a bottle of medicine from his space, immediately opened the cap, and poured a clump of liquid inside onto Bai Xuaner.
As the liquid flowed in, Bai Xuaner soon began to cough.
"Miss, you are awake."
After Bai Xuaner woke up, the maid Yuer was overjoyed, but at this time Bai Xuaner's body was still very weak. She looked at White Elephant King sitting beside her, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she said with a choked voice:
"Great-grandfather, that thief..."
Before she could finish, White Elephant King reached out to stop her next move.
"Xuaner, from this day forward, you are that man's fiancée. In the future, you must never call him a little thief again."
Bai Xuaner looked at White Elephant King in disbelief, her bright eyes widened.
"Great-grandfather, what did you say? You want me to marry that thief?"
Bai Xuaner felt as if the sky had collapsed, and then a wave of anger burned in her chest.
"He almost beat me to death, and he still wants to marry me? Little thief, your calculations are really loud."
White Elephant King naturally saw Bai Xuaner's actions clearly, but he didn't say anything.
In the Bai clan, this great-granddaughter had the constitution most compatible with his, and she was the best candidate to cultivate his Control Power.
Control Power was not like other martial arts; it was a late bloomer.
It was somewhat similar to body refining, but not quite like it. Its defense came entirely from one's own true energy.
The higher the cultivation, the stronger the defense.
Seeing that her great-grandfather didn't speak, a hint of joy appeared on Bai Xuaner's face.
Great-grandfather not speaking proved that he wouldn't stop her from taking revenge on that person.
"Hmph, little thief, you dare to have designs on me, I will definitely make you wish you were dead."
Bai Xuaner secretly vowed, and accidentally tugged at her wound, which made her breathe heavily in pain, and she cursed Kang Dalei again in her heart.
White Elephant King was naturally aware of Bai Xuaner's actions, but given Bai Xuaner's current strength, she couldn't pose a threat to Kang Dalei at all, so he didn't say anything.
That person had used heavy hands before because the two had no relationship. Now that Bai Xuaner was his fiancée, White Elephant King believed that Kang Dalei would definitely show mercy to Bai Xuaner.
It was just that when White Elephant King thought this, he was already wrong.
Using a fiancée to restrain Kang Dalei—if he was obedient, it would be fine, but if he was disobedient, he would still get a beating.
"By the way, Xuaner, do you still remember the promise you made to the outside world during your coming-of-age ceremony?"
Speaking of this, Bai Xuaner's face immediately turned red.
"Great-grandfather, why are you suddenly mentioning this? Besides, looking at the entire Xibai Pass area, who can achieve killing a thousand demons in one day?"
White Elephant King did not speak, just looking at Bai Xuaner with a smile. Bai Xuaner was puzzled at first, until she thought of the fiancée matter mentioned just now, and she instantly became agitated.
"Great-grandfather, you... how could you push me out?"
Bai Xuaner was angry and glared at the old thing several times with dissatisfaction.
White Elephant King instead said happily:
"Didn't you say it yourself? Whoever can break your record at Xibai Pass, you will be that person's wife, and you will never go back on your word."
"But, but, that little thief, I, I cannot accept it."
Thinking of the scene when Kang Dalei sold her at the brothel, Bai Xuaner felt uncomfortable.
It wasn't that she was unhappy about Kang Dalei hitting her—of course, she held a grudge for that anyway—but rather that when Kang Dalei faced those girls at Yixiang Courtyard, he had no qualms at all. It was clear he was a person who frequented red-light districts all year round.
How could such a lecherous scoundrel be worthy of her, Bai Xuaner?
