Chapter 449 Can We Talk? (2/2)
Liu Xie: ”I hate Cao Cao and his family. I don't want to see her again.”
Tong: ”I just kidnapped all Cao Cao's family members, and they are in Ye City right now. Cao Ang has also come with a stupid offer that I should marry Cao Xian and Cao Qinghe, so I won't kill his entire family.”
Everybody: ”WHAT!?”
The entire chat was thrown into an uproar as all strategists advised Tong to ransom them for Cao Cao's surrender. Many generals also wanted to dispatch their men to attack Cao Cao's territory immediately as they had the upper hand.
Yet, Tong stopped them.
Tong: ”I'll ask you again, Liu Xie. Do you want Cao Xian back?”
Liu Xie: ”No. You can take her.”
Tong: ”Is this your final answer?”
Liu Xie: ”I don't care. Take her if you want to.”
Tong: ”Be honest. Do you hate me like you hate Cao Cao, now? I stole your throne, and I'm about to steal your former wife.”
Liu Xie: ”Do whatever you want. I manage to survive so far, thanks to you. Take her as the repayment of my past debts. But once the election event comes, I won't hold back. I'll snatch that throne right from your ass, fair and square!”
Tong: ”I see. Then, do your best. I'll root for you.”

Liu Xie currently sounded like a rebelling teenager in puberty. Everyone in the clan chat was perplexed by the complication of this family, thinking if Liu Xie and Tong were still sane, especially Sima Yi.
The strategist was reading the chat with interest.
'An incompetent former emperor and a history-changing pedophile. Well, both are dumb in a way that they look so cute. Oh wait, I can't call them dumb since they are doing well by improving the quality of our citizens. No embezzlement, no triads, lessor bandits, and thieves on the outskirts … Heck, no yellow turban!'
Sima Yi stopped snickering and turned his attention to Zhang Wang, an official who served as one of Tong's minor county governors.
Zhang Wang was the father of someone Sima Yi knew well, Zhang Chunhua, aka Sima Yi's future wife.
The little 5-year-old girl was with Zhang Wang as well. She sipped her tea and stuck out her tongue because the tea was too hot.
”Are you sure about this, junior Sima? My daughter is too young to be your wife,” Zhang Wang was concerned.
”Ah, don't worry about it. Let's just say I hope that our Sima Clan can get the help of your family and your county. The engagement is my sincerity that I'm willing to tie our bond with you. As for the wedding, I'll wait until she reaches adulthood. I'm not a pedophile like a certain emperor, you know?”
”Uh, well. That's unusual, so please forgive me for my odd manner. If you say so, then I hope for our future cooperation.”
”Hahaha. Don't be. I'll be the one who will actually rely on you.”
Under the radar, Sima Yi held on to his past relationship. Unlike the others, he would not allow Zhang Chunhua to join Tong's harem and changed the course of history. After all, he still wanted his talented sons, such as Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, back to him.
.
Back at Ye Palace, Tong made his decision.
He took a deep breath and looked at the hostages in his throne room.
”If that relieves you from that stupid misunderstanding, then both of you can join my royal harem as my consorts. I'll ask my men to send your mother some betrothal gifts later.”
Cao Ang and everyone was delighted that Tong accepted. On the other hand, Cao Xian and Cao Qinghe looked bitter that they became sacrificial lambs for the sake of their family's survival. The two ladies gave up their fate.
Seeing the two girls' expressions, Tong had another headache.
”You two.”
”… Yes, your majesty?”
”From the start, I have no intention of killing Cao Cao or your family. As a matter of fact, I'm trying my best to make him understand that he's no match against me, and he should surrender to me willingly. Then, I can work with him for our country's better future.”
”…”
”To be honest, your sacrifice is not actually a sacrifice.”
Cao Xian was angered, ”Are you looking down on your decision?”
”Wrong,” Tong stepped down from his throne and walked toward them, ”Let's take it this way. I'm taking your entire family hostage because I'm smitten by the two of you. I desire you to the point that I have to kidnap you here and force you to marry me.”
Tong walked to Cao Xian and wrapped his arms around her slim waist, ”You didn't sacrifice anything. It's me that is taking advantage of you two.”
”Y-You!”
Tong covered his mouth over Cao Xian's and stuck his tongue in.
A naïve girl who never kissed anyone was shocked. She struggled to free herself from Tong, but she was powerless.
After 2 minutes of kissing, Cao Xian was exhausted. Her face reddened as she was embarrassed.
Tong parted his lips from her. Then he turned to Cao Qinghe.
The same kiss happened in front of their family.
After Cao Qinghe almost fainted from the embarrassment and the kiss, Tong turned toward the onlookers and smiled, ”Please excuse us.”
Six black wings appeared and wrapped around both Cao Xian and Cao Qinghe. Using Lamia's steps, Tong disappeared from the throne room and arrived at his private chamber in a few seconds.
To get the two new consorts in the mood, Tong cast [Lust] curses upon them. What happened afterward was their first wild night.

A week later, Tong placed a new message scroll in Cao Cao's room at Xuchang palace.
It said,
[Hi, Father-in-law. I slept with your daughters. Can we talk?]
