Chapter 810: Offering oneself in marriage.
Chapter 810: Offering oneself in marriage.
"You, you, how did you know?" Bai Suzhen covered her mouth, somewhat at a loss.
"To be honest, someone told me this." Xu Xian didn't say who it was, but looked at Bai Suzhen.
There was no lecherous look in his eyes, but a serious expression on his face.
Xu Xian continued, "If you truly wish to repay my kindness, could you please find me a golden elixir to help me become a terrestrial immortal?" Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were both taken aback, not expecting Xu Xian to make such a request.
Bai Suzhen's beautiful eyes flickered, and after a moment of thought, she said, "Young Master Xu, this golden elixir is not something that can be obtained easily; one must go through many hardships and dangers to find it."
She could actually find it.
My master is the Old Mother of Lishan, what difficulty is there in getting a golden elixir?
It's not like an elixir of immortality.
She said this in order to make Xu Xian back down.
Because her idea of repaying a debt of gratitude was to offer herself to him!
...........................
"So there isn't one?" Xu Xian asked.
"Yes." Bai Suzhen nodded slightly.
Xiaoqing scoffed: 'You think golden pills are as common as cabbages? You think you can just come and go as you please? A terrestrial immortal, huh? You've got quite the nerve!'
"Xiaoqing, don't talk nonsense," Bai Suzhen said, grabbing Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing grumbled and looked at Xu Xian, clearly dissatisfied.
"Then how will Miss Bai repay this kindness?" Xu Xian asked cautiously.
Bai Suzhen blushed slightly and said shyly, "This humble woman is willing to offer herself to you, to accompany you for life, to do your laundry and cook for you, to bear your children. What do you think, sir?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xian was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.
Damn it, he didn't want to be arrested and taken to Suzhou, then imprisoned and tortured while shouting "wife" all the while.
Later, he was scared to death by his wife's white snake head and was mocked by the Black and White Impermanence.
"Hey, what do you mean? My sister is so beautiful, what's with you backing away? And what's with that expression and those tears?" Xiaoqing said, dissatisfied.
Xu Xian shook his head vigorously, waving his hand and saying, "Miss Bai, I appreciate your kindness, but my ambition is to become a terrestrial immortal. As for matters of the heart, let's forget about them."
Xiaoqing stomped her feet in anger and pointed at Xu Xian, cursing, "You ungrateful wretch! My sister is so beautiful, so many people would kill for her, and you actually refused her!"
She was really angry!
Xu Xian explained with a wry smile, "It's not that I'm ungrateful, but I have my own pursuits. I hope Miss Bai will find another way to repay your kindness."
"You, Xu Xian! My sister is as beautiful as a celestial being, who in the mortal world can compare? She even personally declared that she would repay you with her body, accompany you for life, do your laundry, cook for you, and bear your children. What an honor this is for you! How dare you refuse?"
"What's the point of being a terrestrial immortal? Marry my sister, and I'll make sure you become a ghost cultivator after you die!" Xiao Qing cursed.
Bai Suzhen felt a little disappointed, but she still pulled Xiaoqing back and told her not to talk nonsense.
.............................
"Xiaoqing, don't speak." She looked at Xu Xian and said, "Is it really impossible for you to repay me with your body? Or with money?"
Xu Xian gritted his teeth and said firmly, "What I seek is not gold or silver treasures. I want a golden elixir to make me a terrestrial immortal. I know this is not easy, but my mind is made up. If you can help me achieve this, it will be the best way to repay your kindness."
Seeing his persistence, Bai Suzhen felt a pang of sadness for him. She nodded and said, "In that case, I agree. But I don't know how long this journey to find the Golden Elixir will take. Young Master Xu, will you be patient?"
Xu Xian was overjoyed and quickly bowed again to express his gratitude: "With Miss Bai's words, I am at ease. No matter how long it takes, I will wait."
I thought to myself, it doesn't matter whether you have me or not, just don't come looking for me, just mess with me.
I'd rather marry an ordinary woman than marry you!
"I wonder why Young Master Xu is so determined to become a terrestrial immortal?" Bai Suzhen asked curiously.
Xu Xian had a sudden inspiration and said, "Now the Jurchens have invaded our Great Song territory, and the people are suffering terribly. If I become a terrestrial immortal, I can gallop across the battlefield, drive out the Jurchen barbarians, and protect the peace of our Great Song people."
However, he sighed inwardly, knowing that the Song Dynasty was also very corrupt.
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen's eyes flashed with admiration: "Young Master Xu has the world in his heart; he is truly a hero. I will find the golden elixir for you as soon as possible."
Xiaoqing muttered from the side, "He calls himself a hero? He just wants to be a savior so people will worship him. Then you'll have countless beauties. You've got a good plan."
Bai Suzhen gently patted Xiaoqing's head: "Xiaoqing, don't be rude."
