Chapter 281.2: Getting Married (1/2)

“You, you probably have a way, right?” Tang Doudou had racked her brains left and right but still couldn’t figure out a way to get into the Saint Palace. That place was so far away from the Sacred Tree and also wasn’t someplace that she could casually enter. There were definitely a lot of experts from the Seven Great Saint Tribes there. If she went alone, she’d probably be ‘kacha’-ed by someone before she even manages to make a splash, much less reach Baili Yu.

After thinking it over for awhile, Tang Doudou’s gaze landed on Lan Jia. There was a grand wedding waiting for him to attend, yet he ran all the way here to tell her these things. Who would be dumb enough to believe that he didn’t have a motive?

As expected, Lan Jia smiled and opened his eyes. “Lady Doudou, you’ve really asked the right person.”

Tang Doudou responded with a smile.“Saint Envoy Lan Jia, let’s not beat around the bush. Just say it, what exactly do I have to do so that you’ll take me to the Saint Palace?”

“Lady Doudou sure is very straightforward. Now I feel bad about requesting this…” said Lan Jia.

Tang Doudou silently roasted him in her heart. If he knew how to feel bad, then there wouldn’t exist any more thick-skinned people in this world. She put on an unperturbed expression and said, “Saint Envoy Lan Jian, there’s no harm, so feel free to say it. I won’t mock you for being shameless.”

Lan Jia’s expression stiffened. There were a lot of people that called him shameless, but no one has ever dared to say that to his face before. He had also never seen such a subtle way of bad-mouthing someone either.

However, he was still an old fox after all. In the blink of an eye, he was all smiles again. “I will be straightforward with you then.”

“En.” Tang Doudou suddenly felt that the ‘en’ word Mu Ye always used was actually really useful.

Lan Jia continued, “The Saint Palace only admits those ranked as Saint Envoys or higher. If an outsider or a Saint Apprentice wants to get in, then there’s only one method.”

“What method?”

“Of course it’s Brother Baili’s method. This method’s indeed superb, you can enter the Saint Palace and also bring a beauty home; it kills two birds with one stone perfectly,” answered Lan Jia as he smiled like an old fox. It really made people want to beat him up.

Tang Doudou understood his words, but where was she supposed to find a Saint Emperor’s token?

Lan Jia saw the realization in her eyes and praised, “Looks like Lady has already guessed the idea, you’re indeed exceptionally intelligent.”

However, if he found out that Tang Doudou had actually completely misinterpreted the main point, he’d probably get so angry he’d beat this dumb girl to death.

“This method is good, but it’s just too difficult.” Tang Doudou frowned and propped up her chin, vexed.

What was so hard about acting as his bride?

Lan Jia thought that she was hesitating due to lingering emotions and so he said, “Although this one has some feelings towards Lady, this one also understands the principle that ‘one shouldn’t covet one’s friend’s wife.’ Therefore, Lady Doudou can rest assured. My only intention is to help Lady find Brother Baili. I won’t ask Lady to become my wife for real.”

After that, he added, “This one never insists on things that can’t be forced.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Doudou glanced at him, and then took a second glance with an odd expression on her face.

Lan Jia couldn’t take it anymore and touched his cheek which was currently covered by the black robe. “Is there something on my face?”

“En.”

“What is it? How come this one doesn’t feel anything?” Lan Jia’s fingertips then slid through the black robe as if he was about to expose his face.

Tang Doudou chuckled. A trace of craftiness flashed through her eyes as she said, “It’s a thick layer of intangible skin, so of course you can’t feel it.”

Upon hearing that, Lan Jia stopped rubbing and he narrowed his eyes slightly. “Lady Doudou…”
