183: Chapter 183 A New Mandate Appears as the Planners to Plot Against the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons!

The night grew deeper.

The bonfire in the main hall dimmed, and those bare-chested Ancient Race men stopped wrestling and returned to their seats.

Senior He Tianba grabbed the last wine jar on the table.

He tilted his head back, drank it all in one gulp, and casually tossed the empty jar onto the ground.

Senior He Tianba let out a wine burp and turned his head to look at Jiang Han, who was sitting in the first seat on the left.

Senior He Tianba leaned forward a bit, winking and nudging with his eyes.

He raised his hand and pointed at the Ancient Race women standing on both sides of the hall.

"Holy Son Jiang."

Senior He Tianba grinned.

"How about I arrange a few women for you?"

"To warm your bed?"

Senior He Tianba's laughter was ear-splitting, and he spoke without any reservation.

Hearing this, several Ancient Race women raised their heads one after another.

They looked at Jiang Han with eager eyes, and some even intentionally puffed out their chests.

Before Jiang Han could speak,

Luo Qingli, who was sitting by his side, stood up directly.

Luo Qingli took a step forward, blocking the space between Jiang Han and Senior He Tianba.

Luo Qingli stood with her hands on her hips, her beautiful eyes wide open.

She glared at Senior He Tianba, "Senior He!"

"I'm still right here!"

Luo Qingli pointed at herself.

"Jiang Han has me, and that's enough; he doesn't need anyone else!"

The Ancient Race women lost interest after hearing Luo Qingli's words.

Senior He Tianba was stunned on the spot.

Looking at Luo Qingli's protective behavior over her 'food,' he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Jiang Han, sitting in his chair, let out a laugh.

He reached out and grabbed Luo Qingli's wrist.

Jiang Han pulled her back to his side.

"Senior He, that's how it is."

Jiang Han looked at Senior He Tianba.

"I appreciate Senior's kind intentions, but I truly don't need it."

Senior He Tianba looked at Jiang Han, then at the puffed-up Luo Qingli.

"Hahahaha!"

Senior He Tianba threw his head back and laughed, "Very well, very well! It seems I was being meddlesome!"

He then stood up from the main seat.

He strode down and came to a table in the center of the hall.

He Lielie was currently slumped over the table, his snoring thundering through the room.

Over a dozen empty wine jars lay scattered around him.

Senior He Tianba raised his large hand and slapped He Lielie heavily on the forehead.

Slap!

He Lielie jumped up like a spring.

He Lielie clutched his head and looked at Senior He Tianba in a daze.

"Dad!"

"Why did you hit me again?!"

He Lielie shouted.

Senior He Tianba kicked He Lielie's shin.

"You useless thing!"

"The feast is over, and you're still sleeping!"

"Hurry up and take Holy Son Jiang and Saintess Luo to their quarters!"

He Lielie rubbed his head and turned to look at Jiang Han and the others.

Only then did he realize what was happening.

He Lielie shook his head and walked quickly to Jiang Han.

He cupped his hands.

"Holy Son Jiang, Saintess Luo, please follow me."

Jiang Han stood up and pulled Luo Qingli toward the exit of the hall.

The Grand Elder of Taichu and Qiushui followed behind.

The group walked out of the hall.

"Holy Son Jiang, this way please."

He Lielie led the way in front.

He led them along until they reached a relatively quiet courtyard before stopping.

There were three stone houses in the courtyard, with the main house in the middle being quite large.

He Lielie pointed to that main house.

"Holy Son Jiang, Saintess Luo, this largest one is for you to rest in."

He then pointed to the side rooms on both sides.

"Senior and this young lady can choose between these two as you wish."

The Grand Elder bowed to Jiang Han.

"Rest early, Holy Son. I will be right next door; call me if you need anything."

After saying that, the Grand Elder walked toward the side room on the left.

Qiushui curtsied to Jiang Han and Luo Qingli.

"Holy Son, Saintess, Qiushui takes her leave."

Qiushui turned and entered the side room on the right, closing the door.

He Lielie bowed to Jiang Han.

"Holy Son Jiang, I shall also take my leave."

He Lielie turned and ran out of the courtyard.

Jiang Han pushed open the door of the main house and led Luo Qingli inside.

The furnishings inside were extremely simple.

A few stone chairs and a stone table.

At the very back was a very wide stone bed covered with several layers of animal skins.

Luo Qingli walked to the edge of the stone bed.

She turned around and sat down next to Jiang Han.

Luo Qingli placed her hands on her knees and looked up at Jiang Han.

"Jiang Han."

Luo Qingli spoke.

Jiang Han turned his head.

Luo Qingli moved closer to Jiang Han, her arm touching his.

"Are you interested in that Yao Race Sacred Artifact?"

Luo Qingli asked this question.

Jiang Han raised his hand and pinched Luo Qingli's cheek.

"You certainly observe closely."

Jiang Han withdrew his hand.

"I am indeed somewhat interested."

Luo Qingli tilted her head.

"Because that thing can command all the Yao?"

Jiang Han nodded.

"If what Senior He said just now is true."

"Obtaining that sacred object is equivalent to taking control of Ten Thousand Demon Valley."

"Whoever gets it can command the entire Yao Race."

Jiang Han walked off the bed and went to the table to take a sip of water.

"Ten Thousand Demon Valley is an extremely massive power."

"If I can hold Ten Thousand Demon Valley in my hand and make it my own,"

"it will be much more convenient for my future actions."

Jiang Han set down the water cup.

"If there really is such an opportunity, naturally, I won't let it pass."

Luo Qingli propped her hands on the edge of the bed, her legs dangling and swinging.

She nodded.

"That makes sense."

"But is this Yao Race Sacred Artifact really that easy to find?"

Luo Qingli looked at Jiang Han.

"This Southern Region is incredibly vast, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains are endless."

"The Yao Race sent so many people and searched for so long without finding it."

"Where would we even look?"

Jiang Han walked back to the bed and sat down beside Luo Qingli.

He reached out his arm and pulled Luo Qingli into his embrace.

"Don't overthink it."

Jiang Han rested his chin on the top of her head.

"Let's rest first."

"Whether we find it or not depends on fate."

Hearing the word 'rest,'

Luo Qingli's swinging legs immediately stopped.

Her body tensed up for a moment, and her ears quickly turned bright red.

The effects of the spiritual wine suddenly began to kick in at this moment.

Luo Qingli buried her face in Jiang Han's chest.

"Mm..."

She softly agreed.

Jiang Han used his strength to gently lay Luo Qingli down.

Just as he was about to let go,

Luo Qingli suddenly reached out both hands and grabbed Jiang Han's wrists.

Jiang Han's movements paused, and he looked down at her.

Luo Qingli's cheeks were like fire, and her eyes were watery.

She bit her lower lip, her voice soft and sweet.

"Jiang Han..."

Luo Qingli's grip on his wrists tightened.

"Tonight..."

"You..."

Luo Qingli's voice was intermittent.

"Can you be a bit gentler..."

She shrank back into the animal skins a little.

"I can't quite handle it..."

Luo Qingli turned her face to one side, not daring to look directly at Jiang Han at all.

Jiang Han looked at Luo Qingli in this state.

Under the influence of alcohol, she was a bit more charming and delicate than usual.

For some reason, Jiang Han felt that Luo Qingli in this state was quite moving.

A thought immediately arose in Jiang Han's heart to bully her ruthlessly.

Jiang Han flipped his hands to pin Luo Qingli's wrists.

He forcefully pressed her hands onto the animal skins on either side of her head.

Jiang Han leaned down.

Just as he was about to lower his head and press down,

[Ding!]

The System notification sound suddenly rang in Jiang Han's mind.

Jiang Han's movements instantly froze, and his gaze shifted toward the void.

[New Child of Destiny detected!]
