Chapter 1576: Chapter 1398: Stormy Night in Jianghu

"It is precisely for this reason that Yun Xiao dares not aspire too high."

"Ha," the Moon Heart Tribe Chief began to look at the Clan Chief of the Red Glow, "Red Glow, back then, you promised in front of our Witch King that you wanted to form an alliance through marriage with our Moon Heart Tribe. Surely you weren’t just speaking for the sake of it, were you? If that were the case, how could the Witch King believe that our two tribes have reconciled?"

"Of course, it wasn’t just talk," the Red Glow Clan Chief replied. "Since you have taken a liking to Yun Xiao, I will let him marry the Saintess, it’s just that Yun Xiao has important tasks to attend to right now and probably can’t marry immediately. Please return and wait for news. Once I have nurtured the giant gu successfully, we can let them get married. Wouldn’t it be wonderful for the entire nation to celebrate together then? What do you think?"

"Hmph!" the Moon Heart Tribe Chief laughed and said, "From the tone of your voice, Red Glow, it seems like you’re trying to dismiss us. I also just happened to remember the agreement from all those years ago and came to talk to you about it. If you don’t agree today, then I will take the Saintess back with me. After today, even if you beg me to marry her off, I won’t allow it."

"Then how about this," the Red Glow Clan Chief suggested. "Let’s have the Saintess stay here for now, and after Yun Xiao has completed his task, we can hold the ceremony for them."

"That’s the only option then," said the Moon Heart Tribe Chief. After finishing, he looked at the Saintess, "You will stay here for the time being. Remember, Yun Xiao is your future husband, so you should connect with him and foster a good relationship."

"The Saintess understands!"

Xia Dabao watched the whole affair with wide eyes and an open mouth.

The Saintess was arranged to live in the room next to Xia Dabao’s. After settling in, Yun Xiao’s task still involved watching Xia Dabao, and the entire day passed without him meeting the Saintess.

On the contrary, the Saintess came to find him herself.

That day, she stood outside the door and politely asked Wind Guard and Rain Guard, who stood at the entrance, "May I come in and sit for a while? I’ll leave shortly."

Wind Guard didn’t dare to decide on his own and looked towards Yun Xiao.

Coincidentally, Dabao was also on the balcony, and she too looked at Yun Xiao.

Before Yun Xiao could respond, the Saintess already spoke, "Yun Xiao, since I am, after all, your fiancée, staying in my cold and quiet room all by myself, I fear I might eventually become ill from boredom."

The Saintess was very pretty, with a cute appearance and dimples that showed when she smiled. A girl like her, even put among the ladies of Capital City, was remarkably beautiful. Matched with Yun Xiao, she was more than suitable.

For some reason, Xia Dabao suddenly felt a sourness in her heart.

She found that any man she felt slightly fond of was either opposed by her parents or there were issues of age and distance.

If she had the chance, she would definitely consult a wizard to find out if she was the one destined to never marry.

Yet, she felt fortunate that she and Yun Xiao had nothing between them.

"Yun Xiao, just let her come in," Xia Dabao instead spoke for the Saintess. "She’s only staying for a chat and will leave afterwards."

Yun Xiao looked at the Saintess with his cold eyes, "I don’t know if the Moon Heart Tribe Chief sent you to distract me or if she truly wants to marry you to me. If it’s the former, you better give up on that notion."

The Saintess was almost in tears, "Yun Xiao, what are you saying? Since I am eventually going to marry you, I would also belong to the Red Glow Tribe. How could I possibly distract your attention?"

Yun Xiao remained silent, and finally, the Saintess came in.

Xia Dabao yawned and then said, "I’m so sleepy... um, Saintess, you sit here for a while, I’m going to sleep."

The Saintess gave Xia Dabao a smile and sat down at the front of the balcony, then turned to watch Yun Xiao again.
