Chapter 1524: The shy Bai Xinlan fled in disarray

Bai Xinlan was stunned for a long time; she didn't know in her heart how many times she had greeted Qinglong Daoren—this man was overly greedy, and actually still wanted her to marry him together?

One Bai Meng wasn't enough; such a greedy person, she had never encountered before—truly an eye-opener.

To have Bai Meng come for the marriage alliance, she had made a great decision before agreeing; the result, this person… wanted everything—how unreasonable.

Angry as she was, she couldn't show it, nor could she provoke Qinglong Daoren's anger; she could only swallow it down, forcing a smile: "Qinglong Dao friend, what do you mean by that?"

Pretending to be clueless, she obviously wanted to brush it off, but Qinglong Daoren didn't want to let her get away with it; Bai Xinlan's lineage was even higher, and this woman was quite excellent, also the kind the main body liked—compared to Bai Meng, controlling Bai Xinlan would be more effective.

Of course, if they could be together, he naturally would have no problem, and the main body's side would have even less issue; by then, it would be a done deal, and the main body couldn't possibly regret it.

The Luotian White Snake Clan is very important; if we can win them over, we can control the Mangshan Mountain Range; in the future, their children could become the demon kings of Mangshan, and the main body's ability in that regard is still trustworthy—Qinglong Daoren firmly believes the main body can conquer both Bai Xinlan and Bai Meng.

A conquered woman will obey the main body's words, naturally not opposing; then it will simply be the main body's decision—this is simpler and easier to control than other methods.

Qinglong Daoren smiled and said: "Bai Xinlan Dao friend, haven't you heard all that? Compared to Holy Maiden Bai Meng, I think you're more suitable; our marriage alliance would make our ties closer, and in the future the Luotian White Snake Clan will reach its peak because of our decision."

"Our vision isn't limited to the Mangshan Mountain Range; we must look outward—to Cangzhou and Lingzhou, which have vast territories and countless resources; these we need to conquer, and relying on just the two of us cannot achieve that."

"If we join forces, the Mangshan Mountain Range will soon be ours; in the future, Cangzhou will also be ours."

"For the future of the Luotian White Snake Clan, as the clan chief, you should lead by example."

Bai Xinlan gave him a sideways glance; this man truly was greedy, and also truly silver-tongued.

Trying to coax her into agreeing, even Bai Meng couldn't satisfy him, and he still wanted to add her—he was really overreaching.

"Let me think about this." Bai Xinlan neither refused nor agreed.

This attitude shows many things—it shows the woman's heart is moved, yet she dares not be certain, feeling hesitant.

Qinglong Daoren continued to persuade: "Bai Xinlan Dao friend, you know my character well; my talent, strength, and all aspects are very suitable for you. Most importantly, I have no clan, thus no burdens, and will naturally strive for our future."

"If we have children, our thoughts will be on them; then we will work together to raise the next generation, letting our descendants step out of Cangzhou."

"If our children have no lack of talent, their future achievements will not be limited to Cangzhou and Lingzhou."

It's just painting a big pie—he can do that too, and he's quite good at it.

The children have all been planned, but their matters aren't settled yet; Qinglong Daoren's thoughts leap too fast—he's thought of everything, waiting for Bai Xinlan to nod.

Bai Xinlan was somewhat slow-witted; for a moment she didn't know what to say.

She stared blankly at the man before her, laughing and crying at once.

"Qinglong Dao friend, this matter, let me think it over a bit more, don't rush." Bai Xinlan waved her hand, not wanting to keep listening to his coaxing, fearing her head would spin and she'd directly agree to his words—by then, wanting to retract would be too late.

This is no small matter; it concerns her future happiness and cannot be taken lightly.

"Naturally, for such an important matter, Bai Xinlan Dao friend naturally needs to think carefully; I hope you can give me an answer soon, after all this sort of thing is better decided early than late—the earlier the decision, the better—so we can work together heart and hand to create our future."

"Bai Xinlan Dao friend, please be sure to understand my heart."

Qinglong Daoren walking forward, his eyes fixed on Bai Xinlan, that gaze, those eyes, were full of tenderness.

A scorching breath came over her; Bai Xinlan, for the first time so close to a man face to face, looked at his aggressive gaze, felt a bit dazed, and forgot to step back.

Qinglong Daoren lowered his head and spoke deeply: "Bai Xinlan Dao friend, do you still not understand my feelings?"

Saying that, he was about to reach out and take her hand.

Bai Xinlan belatedly realized, immediately stepped back a few paces to distance herself from Qinglong Daoren, not wanting to stay with him; she feared she couldn't hold back, her constantly beating heart reminding her over and over to stay calm and not act impulsively.

"Hoo—hoo."

Taking a deep breath, Bai Xinlan solemnly said: "Qinglong Dao friend, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Having said that, she turned and ran straight away, running very fast.

That flustered back view made Qinglong Daoren chuckle secretly; he waved his hand, letting the woman leave the formation of Longshe Shan; after she departed, Heishanyang and Xinran Zhanglao appeared simultaneously beside Qinglong Daoren, Xinran Zhanglao's eyes full of warning, the sword blade somehow already in his palm, ready to draw at any moment.

Feeling a chill behind him, Qinglong Daoren hastily turned and explained: "Elder Xinran, I'm doing this also for the main body alone, not intentionally helping him find women; Bai Xinlan is no ordinary woman—she is the clan chief of the Luotian White Snake Clan—and capturing her would greatly improve our situation."

"Moreover, afterward we can securely take the Mangshan Mountain Range, instead of now, hiding and being unable to do anything."

"Furthermore, you know the main body's strength well; Bai Xinlan will definitely be conquered by the main body, and then Bai Xinlan and her disciple will both become women of the main body—they won't even need to call you 'elder sister'; your status, they cannot shake."

"What I'm doing also benefits you; it's not that there are no benefits at all."

Xinran Zhanglao snorted coldly and asked: "What benefits do I have?"

Qinglong Daoren explained: "There are many benefits—at least, in the future you can acquire more resources, and you'll also gain two younger sisters."

Afterwards, Tianlian Zhenren, who had followed, hearing this, laughed and cried at once—this Qinglong Daoren truly knows how to coax and how to use sweet talk.

"Clang."

The sword blade was drawn; Xinran Zhanglao narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Qinglong Daoren.

Qinglong Daoren choked up, then hurriedly said: "All right, Elder Xinran, don't be angry—I'm doing this for our good as well; Bai Xinlan knows too much, and if we don't take her down, we'll be entangled by her in the future."

"After capturing her, our situation will improve greatly, and in the future we can also control the Mangshan Mountain Range."

"What I'm doing is also for the main body, for all of us."

Tianlian Zhenren quickly took Xinran Zhanglao's hand and urged: "Elder Xinran, it's better not to act impulsively; he's right—Bai Xinlan has entered Longshe Shan many times; it's best to capture her and make her one of us, so we won't be exposed, and later we won't have to worry about leaks."
