Chapter 3: Marry a disfigured and crippled wolf demon? (3)
Once Rou Yuerao finished talking, a middle-aged lion demon immediately voiced his agreement, “Yeah, if worst comes to worst, once that wolf demon dies, we’ll come get you.”
After hearing these words, even the chief, who had said he only wanted Ruan Qiuqiu to carefully consider and would respect her decision, couldn’t help looking at her expectantly.
They acted as if she would be wronging the Wind Lion Tribe if she refused to marry.
Ruan Qiuqiu looked at Rou Yuerao. Her words had left her a bit speechless. She didn’t even want to ask Rou Yuerao why she wouldn’t marry that wolf demon herself if she felt that way. It was because she was sure that Rou Yuerao had already prepared a bunch of words to block that idea.
After all, Rou Yuerao was the lovely female lead gifted with a gold finger. She had a halo that cursed anyone that went against her wishes. As for herself, she was Ruan Qiuqiu, a cannon fodder. If she took one wrong step, she would die miserably.
Actually, Ruan Qiuqiu knew that if the Fire Wolf Tribe didn’t have the requirement that the human had to willingly marry their former chief, this group of lion demons wouldn’t even bother asking her opinion right now. They would have just knocked her unconscious and tossed her to the wolf demons.
If she refused to marry, the lion tribe would become the place where her bones were buried.
In addition, according to the novel’s description, this world was inherently dangerous. It was a world of humans, demons, and fiends. Although the fiends were fewer in number, each and everyone of them were formidable and bloodthirsty.
In addition, there were all sorts of creatures from ancient times. It would be impractical to leave the tribe and live by herself. Forests in winter were very dangerous. There would be beasts and fiends everywhere with stomachs rumbling with hunger.
Ruan Qiuqiu sighed.
It would already be difficult enough to survive in this dangerous world. She didn’t want to offend the female lead on top of that. It would be totally pointless to fight and scheme against Rou Yuerao over some guy.
She was someone that had no desire to challenge herself. She would be happy living a peaceful life growing some vegetables and having meat to eat.
However, Rou Yuerao was right about one point. Ruan Qiuqiu felt a bit bad thinking that the formerly fierce wolf demon…
Still, it was true that the formerly infamously fearsome and impressive Mr. Big Bad Wolf had become a cripple and had even lost his ability to hunt. He only had a few days left to live. At the very least, she wouldn’t be in danger if she stayed by his side…
However, she didn’t know why the Fire Wolf Tribe wanted a bride for Mr. Big Bad Wolf. And, why did it have to be a willing bride?
After thinking that to that point, Ruan Qiuqiu had a headache again. That feeling of knowing there was probably a pit in front of her and still having to jump forward was too awful.
But right now, she didn’t have any other choices.
Seeing that Ruan Qiuqiu hadn’t said a word, the chief couldn’t help asking, “Ruan Qiuqiu, have you thought things through?”
Ruan Qiuqiu took a deep breath. Looking at the chief’s muddy, but still quite shrewd beady brown eyes, she clenched her hands and said, “Okay, I agree.”
“Oh?” The chief froze in surprise for a moment. He had thought Ruan Qiuqiu’s long silence meant she wouldn’t agree. He was a bit stunned. “Really? Qiuqiu, you’re willing to get married?”
Ruan Qiuqiu felt quite bitter in her heart. If she wasn’t willing, was there another path she could take? “I’m willing for the sake of the tribe. However, chief, I have a few conditions.”
The lion demon chief narrowed his eyes when he heard her words. “What conditions?”
The chief’s expression looked very benevolent, but Ruan Qiuqiu inexplicably felt an inkling of danger from him. She resisted the urge to tremble. Slightly lowering her eyelashes, she said, “I want to take my belongings with me.”
“That’s not a problem.” The chief nodded.
Ruan Qiuqiu clenched her jaw and added, “In addition, I want 10 catties of salt, 15 pieces of animal skin, and 50 catties of dried meat.
