Chapter 545: Do You Want a Wife? (2)

“Young Master, you’ve come a long way. Are you tired?”

From the black shadow, an old woman slowly walked out.

She lowered her head and leaned on her walking stick. Her face could not be seen clearly. She held a green paper lantern in her hand.

When Jiang Li looked around again, the road that he could barely see at some point in time was covered in darkness. It was even to the extent that he was unable to see his hands clearly.

In such darkness, although the lantern was strange in color, it made people feel at ease for no reason.

“Young Master, don’t blame me. It’s easy to attract bad things by lighting fire on this mountain. I can only catch some fireflies and barely follow the path.”

“The ground is uneven. You have to be careful.”

When the old woman approached, through the thin layer of lantern paper, it could indeed be seen that there were more than ten soybean-sized fireflies lying inside.

The green light was emitted by these small insects.

Such a reasonable explanation naturally made people feel more at ease.

…

“Up ahead is my humble abode. There’s only me and my granddaughters at home. If Young Master doesn’t mind, please come and drink a few bowls of tea and stay for a few days.”

The old granny did not wait for Jiang Li to reply before turning around and staggering towards the darkness.

The other party had just taken a few steps when the surroundings completely darkened. The path behind him and the moon above him completely disappeared.

There was only a bit of green fluorescent light left in front of her that swayed with the old woman’s footsteps.

The instinctive fear of darkness made people want to follow.

Jiang Li did not hesitate to follow behind the old lady.

The old woman swayed as she walked, but every time he wanted to surpa.s.s her, no matter how he accelerated, he did not succeed.

He lowered his head to look at the other party’s footsteps. The old woman’s back was clearly facing him, but the toes under the rough black dress were facing Jiang Li.

“Decent trick.”

After seeing so many people with four hands, it was not so hard to accept that her feet had turned 180 degrees.

Jiang Li was just about to mobilize the power of the earth vein to spar with the other party, but he had only taken less than a hundred steps when a unique small building with red gauze curtains hanging everywhere appeared in front of him.

The originally decadent voice that made one’s blood boil also changed to the silver bell laughter of young girls.

From time to time, behind the floating tent, a few graceful young figures flashed past, faintly discernible and making people’s imagination run wild.

When she noticed that Jiang Li was staring at her granddaughters, the old granny was not angry. Instead, she sighed.

“Sigh, it’s all my old man’s fault for leaving early. The old bull at home also died of illness. Ever since then, he’s never been able to leave this mountain again.”

“I’m an old woman. It’s one thing for me to guard the mountain. It’s a pity that these innocent daughters of the family have yet to find a husband.”

“If I die alone like this… I’ve really sinned…”

“I’m really sorry. I spoke too much. I’m old and my words are trivial. Young Master, don’t blame me.”

“Young Master, go rest in the house first. I’ll get those granddaughters to serve you tea.”

The old woman led Jiang Li into the small building, and then she ran into the room without turning back, leaving Jiang Li sitting alone in the guest room.

Since they wanted to treat him to tea, Jiang Li was a reasonable person. How could he come up and shout about killing?

He sat casually in the small building. Red candles flickered and the surrounding red veil swayed with the wind.

However, other than that, it seemed that only this small building was left in the entire world. In the outside world, even if one took another step, they would not see it at all.

Even he could not discover any clues. He could only use appraisal on the darkness.

Not long after waiting in the small building, a few young girls in skimpy clothes walked in shyly.

There were a total of four girls.

The eldest granddaughter wore a red veil, looking beautiful and intelligent.

Her second granddaughter wore a blue veil, looking slender and graceful.

The third granddaughter wore a green veil, looking elegant and charming.

The youngest granddaughter wore a purple veil, looking pet.i.te and exquisite.

“Young Master, the four of us made a cup of tea each.”

“If Young Master can guess who brewed the tea…”

“That sister of ours will be Young Master’s in the future.”

“If Young Master guesses everything correctly, then the four of us sisters can also… also serve the same husband.”

They each held a cup of tea and brought it to Jiang Li with antic.i.p.ation.

The fragrance of the tea was moving, and the fragrance of the wine made one’s bones go soft.

The four girls were covered in a few pieces of light gauze that were almost completely transparent. Under the candlelight, their delicate skin was clearly visible.

Jiang Li smiled silently. He took the four cups of tea and directly drank them all.

The fragrance of the tea was mixed with the fragrance of the four girls. With Jiang Li’s sharp senses, it was not difficult for him to recognize them one by one.

The four girls immediately blushed. With a cry, they ran back to their room.

It was only because Qin Shuman was not around at this moment. Otherwise, she would have jumped out and scolded them.

However, to Jiang Li’s surprise, this tea was actually not poisonous!?

This made Jiang Li, who was prepared to attack at any moment, feel as if he had punched cotton.

His expression was extremely awkward.

Why did this group of people not act according to common sense?

While Jiang Li was thinking, the old woman walked in again.

Earlier, the light was dim, so he did not see clearly. Now, under the red candle, he saw the front of the old woman.

She moved her heels forward and pointed her thumb down. One of her eyes was on her chin, and her forehead had two mouths. One of her noses was facing the sky as she spoke, looking strange no matter how one looked at it.

However, this person did not feel that there was anything wrong at all. She held a wedding invitation and welcomed Jiang Li with a happy expression.

“Thank you, Young Master, for not despising my granddaughter for being crude. This is their wedding invitation. As long as the Young Master signs it, the four of them will be yours.”

“If you’re lucky, you can give birth to a son and a daughter for Young Master. If you’re not, even serving by Young Master’s side as a servant is much better than dying of old age in the deep mountains.”

“I’m not someone who doesn’t know the rules. There’s also a dowry for them here. As long as the Young Master signs it, it’ll be yours.”

The old woman with a strange expression handed the wedding invitation to Jiang Li. Then, she led him to the backyard to look at the dowry.

Jiang Li took the invitation and looked left and right, but he did not see any problems.

Not only was this wedding invitation not a trap to cheat people of their lifespan, but as the old woman had said, as long as he signed his name, the four girls would be his.

This was because there were clearly four soul origins sealed in this wedding invitation. To put it nicely, this was a wedding invitation. To put it bluntly, it was the strictest slave contract.

Jiang Li was really puzzled. No matter how powerful the Merit Blessing was, it could not be to this extent. However, what was the other party trying to do?

When he went up the Back Yin Mountain, he was 200% vigilant.

Who would have thought that he would be the first to encounter it?

He temporarily put away the wedding invitation. He did not believe that they really had no other intentions.

He followed the old woman to the back. As soon as he opened the small door in the backyard, a refres.h.i.+ng Yin qi a.s.saulted his face.

In front of him was a translucent crystal that was more than two people tall and in the shape of a skull.

Just from the Earth Yin spiritual qi that seeped out earlier, Jiang Li could determine that the value of this crystal was absolutely not inferior to top-grade spirit stones of the same weight.

Such a large piece could not be exchanged for even if he sold ten Earth-rank artifacts.

Moreover, this thing looked very familiar.

He must have seen something similar before.

Eh!

Jiang Li used Appraisal.

Then, he suddenly came to a realization and sized up the old woman beside him. He had already roughly guessed the other party’s background.

No wonder this person was so polite to him.

It turned out that marrying her granddaughters was only an excuse. Her true goal was to use Jiang Li to bring this crystal out of the Back Yin Mountain!

“Senior, you’re the Back Yin Mountain’s Earth Spirit, right?”
