Chapter 34 Dowry!
Chapter 34: Dowry!
"Aunt Qing, there is no need for this."
Nie Kong tentatively said, "So many years have passed. Even if the Nie family is killed, what can I do? What's more, even if Mr. Nie Shen was not dead, he was tortured by blood poison for decades. As long as we get back half of the 'Colorful Spirit Leaf' he took back?"
Mu Qingyi sneered, "How can this happen? Then, when Mr. Nie Shen dared to take action to grab the 'Colorful Spirit Leaf' back then, he had to think of the consequences of doing so. Since he was born in the Nie family of the Dacheng Empire, if he did not allow the Nie family to pay a heavy price and spread it out, wouldn't my Yinxu be laughable?"
"Aunt Qing, if you really plan to kill all the Nie family in the future, I'm afraid I can't escape from death."
Seeing that Mu Qingyi's expression did not relax at all, Nie Kong could only smile bitterly. Although the patriarch was worried about him because of Nie Fengxing's problem, the Nie family was generally very kind to him. No matter what, Nie Kong did not want to see the Nie family facing such a miserable ending.
"What do you mean?" Mu Qingyi frowned in confusion.
"My name is Mu Kong in Yinxu, but outside Yinxu, it is Nie Kong. My brother who has passed away for a few years is Nie Qiong." Nie Kong sighed.
"Can you always live in that Nie family?" Mu Qingyi's eyebrows jumped slightly.
"good."
Nie Kong nodded and said with a sigh, "Twenty years ago, we had just left Yinxu, and Mu Shang died of poison. At that time, Nie Qingyang from the Nie family in Jiyang happened to pass by, and Mu Shang entrusted us to him before he died. Then, Nie Qingyang became our father and raised us. At that time, his father was only in his twenties, and we had been sick since childhood because of our bloodlines, and the medicine was always left. If it weren't for him, we two burdens would have died for a long time, but he had never married until he passed away a few years ago!"
When he heard Nie Kong say the last, Mu Qingyi couldn't help but feel moved. After a long time of silence, he sighed slightly: "This Nie Qingyang is rare. I didn't expect that the Nie family in the Dacheng Empire had an old bastard like Nie Shengong, but there were also men with outstanding character and rare in the world like Nie Qingyang."
Seeing this, Nie Kong was very happy: "Aunt Qing, then you..."
"I know what you mean."
Mu Qingyi said quietly, "Even for Nie Qingyang, Aunt Qing couldn't bear to make things difficult for the Nie family anymore. But the Nie family must return half of the 'Colorful Spirit Leaf' that was stolen by Nie Shengong back then." In the end, Mu Qingyi was already determined and her tone did not loosen at all.
Nie Kong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course."
At this time, Mu Qingyi suddenly smiled and said, "Mu Kong, since you grew up in the Nie family, you will get the half of the 'Colorful Spirit Leaf' that Mr. Nie Shenzhe snatched away. Whatever you do, Aunt Qing will not interfere. Moreover, Aunt Qing's half of the 'Colorful Spirit Leaf' will be handed over to you. This is the dowry given to Qingying by my mother."
"What! Marry... dowry?" Nie Kong said in a daze.
"That's right."
Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Above the great gift of the Heart Book, since you have surpassed other men, that is Qingying's husband. Besides, he also gave Aunt Qing a betrothal gift to him in front of the five elders of Yinxu and so many tribesmen. The betrothal gift is very good, Aunt Qing likes it very much. Now Aunt Qing naturally has to prepare a dowry for my daughter. I believe my sister will not object to this marriage, and of course, it is useless for her to object."
"Well?"
Nie Kong was stunned by these words, and fine beads of sweat couldn't help but burst out from his forehead. At that time, the "benefactor" he said was just an excuse. In that case, if he wanted to release Mu Qingyi's "spiritual treasure spirit" close to Mu Zu, what would be more natural than presenting a benefactor? However, now Mu Qingyi took Nie Kong's behavior at that time and said, but he did not refute anything.
Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Why? Little guy, be so silly! There are so many beautiful girls in Yinxu, but it is rare for girls as beautiful as Qingying. Things are settled! The half of the 'Colorful Spirit Leaf' is on Jinzhu. She will give it to you when you go out."
Nie Kong said anxiously: "That, Aunt Qing, we..."
"Mu Kong, do you want to go back on your word?" Mu Qingyi's tone sank and his face also pulled down.
“…”
Nie Kong was suffocated.
Mu Qingyi's words hit him the vital point. As long as he nodded now, the emotional card he had played to dispel Mu Qingyi's murderous intent would be a waste. Maybe she wanted to vent her anger on the Nie family at that time. But if she shook her head, she would have to marry Mu Qingying as Mu Qingying as Mu Qingying.
In this way, where should the flower eyebrows be placed?
Nie Kong suddenly felt a little regretful. It would be great if he had not revealed his identity outside just now. In that case, he would have more room for maneuver. But if he didn't say it, there would be no reason and no position to plead for the Nie family. It would be impossible to really watch something happen to the Nie family. The Nie family's strength is very good in the Dacheng Empire, but facing a strong man like Mu Qingyi, it is difficult to have any ability to resist.
Although Mu Qingyi locked herself in this "Soul-Eating Cave" for twenty years, Nie Kong, the five city lords, and even Mu Xueyi would not see her staying in the "Soul-Eating Cave". I believe Mu Zu had the same meaning. As long as he spoke, Mu Qingyi would have to go out even if he didn't want to go out.
For a moment, Nie Kong advanced and fell into a dilemma.
"no."
Under Mu Qingyi's two sharp gazes, Nie Kong shook his head a little discouraged.
Mu Qingyi's expression relaxed and said earnestly: "It's good not to be there. Mu Kong, Aunt Qing also knows that the main purpose of your participation in the Heart Classic Competition is to drive away the spiritual thoughts in Aunt Qing's body. But since things have happened, if you don't marry Qingying, how can you give her a foothold in Yinxu in the future? Moreover, it is not impossible to become the Yinxu Musect in the future with the mind practiced by Qingying. Marrying her will not be considered as a humiliation."
"I know Qingying is a good girl." Nie Kong did not doubt Mu Qingyi's words and smiled bitterly, "But I already have a fiancée outside."
"Hmm? How many?" Mu Qingyi frowned.
"One." Nie Kong hurriedly said.
"Only one, not too many, not too many." Mu Qingyi waved his hand and said in a silence, "Although there is a level to test the concentration of men in the competition of the Heart Classics and Gifts, my Yinxu has always had more women and fewer men. As long as the man can bear it, not to mention only one or two, it would be fine if he married a few more. Qingying and the fiancée outside have only two wives, so Qingying must be able to accept it."
“…”
Seeing Mu Qingyi's dissatisfaction look, Nie Kong felt speechless. Could it be that the men in the Yinxu are all stallions, and he also wants to make stallions?
"Okay, now you should let go of your worries, so Qingying's child, Aunt Qing, will give it to you."
"oh."
Not long after, Nie Kong walked out dejectedly.
He now understood that Mu Qingyi called himself to this "Soul-Eating Cave", and his main purpose was to make the following words. He had no choice but to do this, but his mother and the five elders all agreed with this matter.
Outside the Soul-Discussion Cave, Mu Jinzhu was still sitting quietly on the ground, while Mu Qingying clenched her two small fists, pouted her chubby mouth, and turned around anxiously in front of the stone gate. She tried to rush in and take a look several times, but was blocked by the force that Mu Jinzhu waved.
"Mu Kong!"
Finally, Nie Kong's figure appeared from the stone gate. Mu Qingying ran to Nie Kong in surprise and said anxiously, "How is it, how is it, did my mother agree?" As he spoke, Mu Qingying stared at Nie Kong's face without blinking, her eyes full of anticipation.
"No."
Nie Kong shook his head helplessly.
Mu Qingying immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost. The expectation in her eyes turned into disappointment, and she murmured: "What should I do? What should I do?"
"Don't forget that there is Mu Zu." Nie Kong couldn't help but say.
"I know, but my mother doesn't allow me to beg Mu Zu, saying that if I go, I will never recognize my daughter again." Mu Qingying said with red eyes.
"Your mother doesn't allow you to go, but she doesn't allow me to go. I'm going to awaken my blood soon." Nie Kong smiled.
"Mu Kong, are you willing to plead for my mother like Mu Zu?" Mu Qingying said excitedly, with a little gloss in her eyes again.
"Of course, she is your mother, and I, Aunt Qing."
“…”
Looking at the two of them with a smile, at this point Mu Jin interrupted, "Mu Kong, Qingyi has already told you about the 'Colorful Spirit Leaf'?"
"Sayed." Nie Kong had a headache. Mu Qingying slightly lowered her worries because of Nie Kong's words just now. When she heard this, there was a slight curiosity in her eyes.
"Just say it."
Mu Jinzhu nodded slightly, and a hint of emerald green light floated out of her arms, and came to Nie Kong's chest like lightning.
Nie Kong subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, then spread his palms open, and a touch of green immediately entered his eyes. It was half a thin leaf, crystal clear and shiny as jade, breaking along the thick and long vein in the middle of the leaf. If the other half was filled, it would be the size of a baby's palm.
The veins on this half of the leaf are clearly visible and lifelike. As soon as you start, a fresh breath penetrates into the body and instantly spreads to the limbs and bones, making people feel relaxed and happy, like a spring breeze. But apart from this, it is hard to sense other strange things from it.
Mu Jinzhu stared at Nie Kong and said slowly: "This is the half of the 'Colorful Spirit Leaf' that Qingyi brought back then. If the other half could be put together, you might be able to find something. Mu Kong, you have to put it away. This is the dowry given to Qingying by Qingyi."
"My dowry?"
Mu Qingying was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashed and looked at the half leaf in Nie Kong's palm, then Nie Kong, and Mu Jinzhu. A faint glow suddenly rose from her cheeks, and then became redder and redder. In a blink of an eye, it became like a ripe apple, delicate and charming.
Seeing this, Nie Hunter was as big as a fight, but he couldn't say a word...
