Chapter 696 – You Have No Choice! (1/2)

“You have no choice!” She just spoke these words and left, leaving Yang Ye behind with an astounded expression on his face.

A short while pa.s.sed before Yang Ye shook his head. Even though her actions were quite strange, she didn’t have any ill intent towards him. After all, she’d saved him. However, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry because he was being forced to get married to her. He’d never imagined that something like this would happen to him.

As for the Nether Ghostflame and ancient sheath. He wasn’t completely against giving the Nether Ghostflame to her, but he was determined to take the ancient sheath back from her. Of course, recuperating was more important to him right now.

At this moment, there was quite a bit of violet profound energy within him, and he slowly urged them to flow through his meridians. The recuperative powers of the violet profound energy allowed his injuries to gradually recover.

Based on this speed, it will take me 3 days at most to recover 50% of my strength! Only his strength was capable of making him feel safe while at an unknown place. So, the important matter at hand was to recover his strength and find a chance to leave the Fire Spirit Race’s territory. Even though he was saved by them, it was still part of the Hallowed Grounds. So, the situation would turn very bad if they found out about his true ident.i.ty!

The woman had frequently visited while he recuperated, and she gave him all sorts of healing treasures. Moreover, he gained a huge amount of information about the Fire Spirit Race from his conversations with her.

Her name was Xiaoman, and she was the granddaughter of an elder of the Fire Spirit Race. Their race had very few males, and it could be considered to be at a ratio of 3:7. So, the Fire Spirit Race had no choice but to make its women marry other races in order to protect their race from extinction.

Of course, it didn’t mean that the Fire Spirit Race intended for their women to be married off; they wanted men of the other races to marry into their race instead. The status of these men was quite low. Because, to a certain extent, they were only reproductive tools for the Fire Spirit Race….

Moreover, one a man from the outside joined the Fire Spirit Race, that man couldn’t leave the Fire Spirit Race’s territory without his wife’s permission. As for those who intend to flee, such incidents had occurred in the past. But it wasn’t long before at least 5 Half-Saints would pursue such a person!

The warning in Xiaoman’s tone was very obvious when she told Yang Ye about this!

In the room, Yang Ye recuperated as he asked Xiaoman, “Why did you choose me?”

Xiaoman withdrew a translucent spirit fruit and walked over to Yang Ye, and then she placed it before his mouth. Yang Ye had no choice but to eat it because she would force it down his throat if he refused!

Xiaoman nodded with satisfaction when she saw him eating obediently, and she said, “Once women of the Fire Spirit Race turn 18, it’s time for them to get married. But I….” When she spoke up to this point, she glanced at him and said, “I heard that you humans like gentle women, right?”

Yang Ye smiled with embarra.s.sment and said, “That’s not necessarily the case. In any case, there’s no need for you to change yourself for someone else. Just be who you want to be!”

Slap!

Xiaoman suddenly patted him on the shoulder while a slight smile appeared on her face, “Even though your strength is quite weak, I think you’re really not bad. Just stay here and marry me. Don’t worry, even if you’re weak, no one will dare to bully you while I’m here.”

Yang Ye was speechless.

Xiaoman continued, “As for why I chose you. I don’t know. In any case, I encountered you and felt that you weren’t unpleasant to the eye. So I chose you.”

Yang Ye hesitated for a moment and said, “Miss Xiaoman, forcefully uniting 2 people will never bring happiness to anyone. Only if you love someone and be together with that person would you find true happiness. Understand?” She’d saved his life, and he intended to repay that debt. But he’d never thought of giving himself to her….

“Love?” Xiaoman frowned and said, “What’s that? Can I eat it?”

Yang Ye was at a loss for words!

She patted him on the shoulder and said, “In our race, women just have to take a liking to a man and drag him back here. Now, I think you’re not bad. So, let’s make do for now. Otherwise, that old geezer will definitely force me to find someone. As for everything else, just forget about it. In any case, it’s pointless. After all, it’s your fault for being so weak. I can smack you to the ground with a single strike!”

Yang Ye didn’t know how to respond to her.

Xiao Man paid no attention to his reaction. She pinched his body, and then a wisp of surprise flashed through her eyes as she said, “It’s surprising that such a weak body actually possesses such a formidable recuperative power. I’d thought that it would take another 15 days before you would be able to move freely. But it seems like you should be able to accomplish that in a day from now. Alright, we’ll be able to get married even earlier!”

Yang Ye watched helplessly as she carried her iron hammers and walked out of the room.

He continued recuperating, but it wasn’t long before he suddenly opened his eyes again. A woman walked into the room at the exact same moment.
