414 Thou Have Kept My Wife (2/2)

Along the way, A Ye was always in high spirit and would often laugh, which caused people to think that he had been indulging himself in this game of hunting too much that he could not extricate himself anymore. The rapturous look on A Ye's face on each successful hunt of Shengjing Sect people was by no means fake.

Yet he said it was not fun?

”War is not a joke, so of course it's not fun. Alone entering into the enemy's territory, if they make dumplings out of me, I'd lost my entire life's reputation, and that's even more not fun.” A Ye repeatedly shook his head to show his stance.

This actually aroused Zhou Mumu's interest. ”Don't you always brag that you're handsome and unrivaled, how come you're afraid?”

”No one can be invincible because of handsomeness, but only invincible people are handsome.” A Ye softly said, ”I am such a handsome guy, how could I not understand this truth? Right now, I am alone in Golden City territory, always taking a risk… but if not, how can I be worthy of my seriously injured wife?”

Upon hearing him mentioning Shaman, Zhou Mumu couldn't help but become annoyed. ”I really don't know whether you're really stupid or just acting stupid. Do you think by braving this danger alone you're worthy of her? She is seriously injured, so the things that she needs the most are for you to care and be considerate of her, not on how much credit you get by bringing back enemies' heads! You already have children, yet you don't even understand this basic truth!”

A Ye shrugged his shoulders. ”How could I not? She's a woman. Unfortunately, although I understand the reasoning, after a careful consideration, I really can't do it.”

”You're just making excuses.”

”You women always think that as long men put all their intention and effort, nothing can't be done. Unfortunately, many things that you think are easy are in fact as difficult as ascending the heaven to a man.” A Ye lightly laughed. ”As for me, I actually am not talented at anything. Although I am revered as the king of Harmony River, the truth is, I don't understand how to rule a country even a little bit. Farming, fisheries, cultivation of livestock, construction, forging… I don't know any one of them. If I wasn't born with a good blood lineage, I wouldn't even be as good as a small fry.”

Listening to him say such serious words made Zhou Mumu in an awkward position. She would like to whisper some comforting words… but she didn't know what to say.

”However, precisely because I grew up without knowing anything that I understand this truth: if there's something in this world that I am good at, I must firmly grasp it and cherish it more than anything else. Settle down and get on with one's pursuit since I have no other things to rely on.”

With that, A Ye picked up his spear.

”Fortunately, although in my childhood I was dull and unruly, I eventually found something that I am good at. And now, I will use this thing that I am good at to fulfill my wish.”

Upon hearing what he said, Zhou Mumu suddenly felt that this stubborn and unruly master before her had suddenly become pleasing to the eyes.

However, the next moment, A Ye's words hit her heart really hard.

”As for Shaman, while she is recuperating, there's already someone who will accompany her, take a good care of her, and comfort her.”

Zhou Mumu could not understand this at all. ”Do… you know what you're talking about? Although Zhan Ziye is definitely not an immoral person, but… she is, after all, your wife!”

”That's why I must be particularly considerate of her wants, but what she wants, I could not give… Since childhood, Shaman has been reading poetry and literature, but for god's sake, I know nothing about her favorite literature. However, the wood spirit is clearly well-read.” A Ye said, then his flourishing smile fell. ”My special skill is to leave the matter to its genuine expert. I am not good at governing the country, so I let Shaman do it on behalf of me. Even in battle, I'm not good at commanding people, so I divide the power to the generals. This is the same reasoning that I use when I willingly act as the vanguard…”

”This is not the f*cking same reasoning!” Zhou Mumu grabbed A Ye's collar and lifted him up with one arm. ”How brain-dead really are you! How could you push your wife to other people? Are you sick?”

”Hahaha, from the earliest time I can remember, I don't know how many people have said the same thing to me. I have already known that I am sick, so I would hand it over to people who are not sick.”

”You… are a rotten wood that can't be carved!” Zhou Mumu let loose of A Ye but just couldn't calm her fury, so she immediately lifted him up again using her other arm. ”No. Thinking about it just makes me angry. If I don't know about this, then so be it. However, since I am now aware, I just can't sit and watch, otherwise, I could never let that thought go!”

Zhou Mumu then began to mull over. ”I remember you said earlier that your greatest blessing in life is to marry a good wife, do you really want to put your wife into other people's embrace? Moreover, what do you think Shaman is? She loves you so much, but you…”

A Ye said, ”Shaman never likes me.”

”What?”

”I did say that my greatest blessing in life is to marry a good wife, but I did not say that the greatest blessing of Shaman is to marry me. The reason why she married me was that there is generational marriage pact between Eternal Tree and Harmony River, so she didn't have a choice. Otherwise, how could such a fine woman possibly marry me?”

”You…”

”Although our marriage is beyond our control, after all, I use her lifetime's misfortune for my lifetime's happiness. My childhood elders taught me that I have to clearly distinguish gratitudes and grudges. If I receive kindness, I have to pay it. Therefore, I will do everything that I can do to compensate her. And now, there's only one thing that I can do…”

Zhou Mumu didn't know how to persuade him. She herself was also ignorant of the affairs between man and woman, however, she subconsciously felt that A Ye had made an unusually stupid mistake… and she just didn't know how to voice it out.

Perhaps if Wang Lu was here, he would be able to break through A Ye's ignorance, but she hated herself for not having that skill… However, even so, she was not about to give it up.

”Listen, your idea is fundamentally wrong. Although I couldn't explain it clearly to you through words, but first you have to…”

Just as Zhou Mumu began her persuasion, a green light suddenly lit up from A Ye's palm, and then a green leaf appeared.

Zhou Mumu knew that this was the information transfer spell of Eternal Tree.

However, when A Ye saw that green leaf confidential letter, his countenance turned exceptionally ugly.

Zhou Mumu had never seen A Ye silent for so long.

He always loved to talk and his mouth almost never stopped talking. However, now his lips were tight and his face was livid.

”... Now I am going to do two things.”

With that, he clenched his palm, breaking that green leaf.

”Flaming Valley, I will extinguish your flame.”
