345: Give birth to a child?

Before the crowd could decide, Xu Sanyan spoke, “I actually think there’s something even more important that needs to be done right now.”

“What is it?” the old man asked, puzzled.

“The Praying God Technique.”

Xu Sanyan said, word by word, “If there’s no Praying God Technique, the dog god can’t bestow blessings. What good is electing a Clan Chief then?”

The faces of several old men changed drastically, and they all stood up at the same time, exclaiming, “What? The Clan Chief didn’t leave you the Praying God Technique?”

A clamor immediately rose from below.

“It’s over, the Clan Chief must have died too suddenly and didn’t have time to leave the Legacy. It’s over now…”

“Without the Praying God Technique, how can we get the dog god’s blessing? Even if we annihilate the Snake Clan and the Bear Clan, what then?”

“Ah, Xun Baicao has harmed the Dog Clan…”

Xu Sanyan listened to the commotion around her, her peripheral vision constantly on Xun Hua. Seeing that her expression was normal and she showed no reaction, she became even more certain that she must know the Praying God Technique!

At this moment, Xun Hua slowly stood up. “The Clan Chief left the Praying God Technique before she died. Everyone, there’s no need to worry.”

Though her voice was soft, it was like a calming agent, suppressing all the restlessness. Everyone simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. This was good.

They might not care who became the Clan Chief, but the Praying God Technique concerned the continuation of the clan, and there could be no mistakes.

“Since the former Clan Chief left the Praying God Technique to Xun Hua, it must mean she is to inherit the position of Clan Chief. Does anyone still have an issue?”

Xu Sanyan frowned, looking at the old man. Why was this old fellow constantly speaking up for Xun Hua?

Did she give him something?

At this moment, another voice rang out, “I actually think Xun An Cai is more suitable. When the Clan Chief was trapped earlier, it was she who returned to the tribe alone to seek help. In a way, she even saved Xun Hua’s life, which shows her bravery and meticulousness in handling matters.”

“Moreover, it was she who proposed annihilating the Snake Clan. I remember Xun Hua seemed to oppose it at the time, right?” the old man said, looking at Xun Hua with a probing gaze.

Xu Sanyan looked in the direction of the voice. It was the old man who had treated Xun Yang earlier.

Old fellow, just by looking at you, I can tell you’ll live a long life.

Xun Hua remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking, then slowly raised her head to look at Xu Sanyan, with a strange feeling in her eyes.

At this moment, her heart was conflicted. She wanted to obey the Clan Chief’s command to kill Xu Sanyan, but she didn’t know how to start.

If she had the Old Clan Leader’s prestige, she would only need one sentence to make the clansmen kill Xu Sanyan.

But she didn’t, and the clansmen wouldn’t blindly obey her commands. Moreover, Xun An Cai would never sit idly by while she killed Xu Sanyan.

In fact, she herself was very conflicted, unable to understand why the Clan Chief insisted on killing Xu Sanyan.

This person clearly hadn’t done anything to betray the Dog Clan. On the contrary, he had always helped the Dog Clan attack the Snake Clan and the Bear Clan. Even if he had no merits, why kill him?

Xun Hua didn’t understand, and no one explained it to her.

Suddenly, someone shouted, “I support Stone Bro as Clan Chief.”

Xun Stone glanced at him and silently rolled his eyes. “Shut up.”

None of the more than four hundred people paid him any mind. Anyone with eyes could see that the Clan Chief would surely be chosen between Xun An Cai and Xun Hua.

The two of them were the strongest and had the greatest merits. Moreover, Xun An Cai had Xu Sanyan by her side, and Xun Hua controlled the Praying God Technique. Each had their trump cards, so there was no room for anyone else.

“Then let’s vote on it. Each clansman gets one vote. Whoever gets more votes will be the Clan Chief,” someone suggested.

“Alright.”

“Whoever you support, stand behind them.” The old man finished speaking and was the first to go behind Xun An Cai.

The crowd below looked at each other, slowly shifting their feet. The crowd divided into three groups: one part went behind Xun An Cai, one part went behind Xun Hua, and a small part stood behind Xun Stone.

Those who chose Xun Stone could basically be considered as abstaining.

Xu Sanyan silently counted: one, two, three…

After everyone had made their choice, to everyone’s surprise, the two received an equal number of votes!

Each side had one hundred and seventy-one people behind them. Xu Sanyan thought he had miscounted and recounted, but it was still the same number.

He wasn’t considered a Dog Clansman, so he didn’t have the right to vote.

This situation caught everyone by surprise.

Even more unexpectedly, Xun Hua suddenly spoke, “I should have a vote too, right?”

The old man behind Xun Hua was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“I’ll vote for Xun An Cai. Let her be the Clan Chief.”

“Ah?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, especially those who supported Xun Hua. This made them feel like ‘the leader is a spy.’

If you didn’t want to be the Clan Chief, you should have said so earlier. Why go through all this trouble? Wouldn’t it have been better to just let Xun An Cai have it directly?

The old man behind Xun Hua looked disheartened. “You didn’t say that yesterday.”

Xu Sanyan also couldn’t figure out what Xun Hua was planning, but he didn’t believe Xun Hua would give up so easily.

“But, I have one condition!”

As expected.

Xu Sanyan curled his lips.

Xun Hua pointed at Xu Sanyan and said in a clear voice, “I want him to have a child!”

“Xun Hua, you’re spouting nonsense!!”

Before Xu Sanyan could react, Xun An Cai immediately exploded, like a protective lioness, glaring at Xun Hua with furious eyes, her fingers clenched into fists, wishing she could beat her to death on the spot.

How dare she set her sights on her man?

She’s asking for death!

Xu Sanyan was also stunned. Have a child?

Me?

Xun An Cai angrily said, “I knew you had no good intentions, always setting your sights on my man. Today your true colors are finally revealed, aren’t they? Don’t even think about this, I will not agree!”

“With you,” Xun Hua added.

“…”

Xun An Cai’s expression froze. For a moment, she didn’t know what attitude to display. Should she be angry?

Or should she be happy?

Actually… she wanted to have a child too.

Everyone was also bewildered, bowing their heads and pondering in their minds: let Xu Sanyan and Xun An Cai have a child, and then Xun Hua gives up the Clan Chief election?

What kind of logic was this?

Xun Hua was also very helpless. This was her last resort after much consideration, a way out of no other options.

She could vaguely guess the Clan Chief’s intention to kill Xu Sanyan: it was nothing more than a worry that without anyone to restrain him, he would harm the Dog Clan.

But as the situation developed, it was already difficult to kill him. Since that was the case, then leave him with a concern, let him have a child for the Dog Clan.

Xun Hua believed no one would harm their own child, and the child he and Xun An Cai had would also be considered a Dog Clansman.

Xun An Cai secretly looked at Xu Sanyan, her gaze filled with anticipation and a touch of shyness.

Xu Sanyan pondered for a long time, then solemnly shook his head. “I won’t have one.”

A voice as faint as a mosquito came from the side, “Um, I can have one too…”

Xu Sanyan didn’t pay her any mind. Even if he truly wanted a child, it was absolutely impossible to have one in the Secret Realm.

Xun An Cai immediately felt a little disappointed. She quite liked children.

Xun Hua sighed softly. “Then there’s no other way. We can only…”

Before she finished speaking, a voice came from the corner, “I should have a vote too, right…”
