Chapter 684 - 5: Ascension
"No! Oh no!!!"
Tang Language noticed Chen Lusi’s gaze, and after the initial mental shock, she suddenly reacted, with a hint of shyness on her face, glaring at Tu: "Grandma, what are you saying!? You told me not to sell you out, but you sold me out!? What’s with this marriage thing! Why is staying at the Celestial Strategy Mansion conditional on marriage?"
Tu waved her hand: "Anyone whose first reaction is to agree, stand aside."
Tang Language said anxiously: "That was subconscious!"
Tu calmly continued: "Those who don’t dare to admit it and can only use anger to cover up their shyness, stand aside too."
"I did not!!!"
Tang Language became more anxious, her beautiful eyes widened, and her small, fair face blushed as she darted towards her grandma.
Tu gently waved her hand.
Tang Language was directly blocked by an air wall and could only stand still, waving her arms haphazardly in front of her.
"Those who use physical actions to cover their shyness also stand aside. Embarrassing the fox clan’s name. Even though you were born in an era where foxes have been demonized, why are you so unpresentable? If you said you had a proud persona, that would be excusable, but you’re not even proud... just silly."
"Ahhhh—"
Tang Language’s ears were already beet red.
"..."
Chen Lusi looked at Tang Language, who was waving her arms in place... finally snapped out of her daze, then let out a gentle sigh, looked at Tu in front of her, and asked, "Why?"
Tu turned her gaze away from Tang Language and looked back at Chen Lusi: "You should know Tang Language has been in hibernation for a long time, right?"
Chen Lusi slowly nodded.
"Actually, according to her parents’ intentions, they wanted to wait until she was fully mature to awaken her."
Tu held back Tang Language while speaking leisurely: "But unfortunately, Tang Language’s bloodline was purer than expected, and she awoke earlier than anticipated. This caused a lot of issues, the biggest being that her bloodline, although so pure, is still very average in power because it’s still far from the mature stage.
And she hasn’t seen the big storms outside yet, hasn’t seen the terror of human heroes, fundamentally doesn’t understand the dangers of human hearts, like a child living in a honey jar, I’m very worried about her.
But I can’t always be with her. One day, she will have to replace me and take on the duty of protecting the clan, and finding her a husband who can protect her is probably the only solution.
And you’re handsome, strong, good-natured, Tang Language trusts you, and will likely listen to you in major matters. I think it’s a good choice."
"... Just because of this?"
Chen Lusi frowned slightly: "I am Tang Language’s friend."
The implication was.
A friend can also protect Tang Language.
Why become a husband?
"Xia Yue is also Tang Language’s friend."
Tu shook her head slightly and said calmly: "But in the end, he still died for the belief in his heart. Whether there’s family ties makes a big difference for you men. I’m not denying what Xia Yue did; in fact, I admire it greatly.
But I think if Xia Yue had parents, had a wife, he probably wouldn’t have unhesitatingly chosen to stand in front of the Kunlun Gods, he would have thought about it.
And besides..."
Speaking up to this point.
She paused, her pale red demonic eyes glancing at Tang Language: "Even though we say we’re not purely animals, we’re not truly humans either, some animal instincts remain, like estrus."
Chen Lusi: "..."
"Tang Language has always been worried about overusing her Authority Ability causing estrus, but that’s a small problem because it can be prevented; if she activates the Authority Ability herself, she’s mentally prepared, but the more serious periodic estrus is different, it’s almost untime-bound and cannot be prevented at all."
Tu seemed to be speaking of something trivial, casually saying: "And I very much doubt Tang Language’s self-control. Rather than waiting for the day she picks some random man, it’s better if I find one for her now, at least I can be at ease.
Moreover, even if she can suppress it, as her elder, I don’t want her to go through the pain of the previous generation again."
"...?"
To be honest.
This matter.
Chen Lusi was hearing about it for the first time.
On the other side.
Tang Language’s ears were crimson red, she had stopped waving her arms at some point, and tilted her head slightly.
Tu asked again: "So, will you agree?"
"Sorry."
Chen Lusi came back to her senses, shaking her head.
"Why? Because of Tang Language’s outgoing personality? Or because you have a girlfriend?"
Tu tilted her head slightly, saying: "If it’s the former, just bear with it a little for my sake. Her face and figure are still excellent in general meaning. If it’s the latter... Tang Language can be a mistress, she probably wouldn’t mind either, after all, she’s silly, accompany her to play for a while every day, and she forgets everything."
Chen Lusi: "..."
"... Is it because the value isn’t enough? How about during your search for answers, I help you once?"
Tu noticed Chen Lusi not speaking, lifting her plump leg, resting it on her other leg again: "If you’re going to venture into Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, I can help you once, even though in a fight I’m not your match.
But I’ve lived long enough, and my abilities to escape and avoid dangers are stronger than yours, much stronger, I guess I can be quite helpful in the First Emperor’s Mausoleum.
Besides, apart from finding the answer you want in Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, there are many good things, after all, I heard from my mother that Ying Zheng was quite a remarkable personage..."
"No, Tang Language is my friend."
Chen Lusi shook her head, interrupting her directly, saying: "This is like placing her on the table as an exchangeable object, it’s too weird."
