Chapter 1712: then translation of chapter title

Bai Xinlan opened her mouth to speak, but was glared at by White Azure Frost and Holy Maiden Bai Meng, and instantly dared not speak; whatever she wanted to say was forced back into her heart.

The two women's gazes were terrifying; at this point they left no room for her to retreat or backtrack, otherwise offending the Chen Chuyang before them would be trouble, White Azure Frost kept her eyes fixed on Chen Chuyang the whole time, while Qinglong Daoren was not regarded by her, or rather, the threat was not great.

It was not the Tribulation Realm, so it posed no threat to her; Chen Chuyang was different—he gave her a sense of vastness, bottomless depth. She felt that in front of Chen Chuyang she was like an ant, a feeling that was very clear, very direct, not… an illusion.

The man who kept smiling was immensely powerful, many times stronger than the Tian Du Dragon King; offending the man before them would end badly, and the Luotian White Snake Clan could not afford to offend him, nor could they back down.

Sweat dampened her back; it was White Azure Frost's first time seeing someone so terrifying. No wonder Zhang Mang and the Tian Du Dragon King previously dared not act against Longshe Shan, only obediently cooperated and never dared to forcefully act; in the past they wouldn't care who you were, they'd act directly.

"No wonder they all dared not act rashly; so the master of Longshe Shan is truly terrifying," White Azure Frost thought inwardly, understanding why the Tian Du Dragon King had reacted that way before, and why Zhang Mang was so obedient, not striking Longshe Shan.

It wasn't that they gained any benefit, nor that they were kind; it was because of the human before them, whose presence stationed Longshe Shan, that no one dared to move it.

The Tian Du Men's stance shifted dramatically, and they increased investment and cooperation, all because of the human before them; the Tian Du Dragon King's attitude toward Longshe Shan was favorable also because of him. White Azure Frost swallowed a sob, and after understanding the reasons, she too changed her attitude.

It was necessary to have Xinlan marry him, becoming Chen Chuyang's woman; thereafter Xinlan's future would certainly not be lacking. The human before them truly was Xinlan's benefactor; her calculation would not be wrong—this very human.

At this moment, White Azure Frost's calculation grew even more firm; it was not wrong, it was true.

The benefactor was not Qinglong Daoren, but the human before them; the future of the Luotian White Snake Clan would also become better. Thinking this, White Azure Frost was thrilled, and her gaze toward Chen Chuyang changed.

"Daoist friend Chen Chuyang, our Luotian White Snake Clan will henceforth intermarry with you; Xinlan is the clan head of our Luotian White Snake Clan. Her marrying you represents our clan's stance. From now on, we are one family."

"As one family we won't speak of two families. From now on, Daoist friend, whatever instructions you have, just say them; our Luotian White Snake Clan will do anything possible without hesitation."

White Azure Frost quickly spoke up; this was a benefactor and also a strong ally, and she could not let him go.

This matter must be settled; Xinlan must not be allowed to back out.

Bai Xinlan blinked: "……"

Holy Maiden Bai Meng looked at the elder with puzzlement, then at Chen Chuyang, and instantly understood everything; it seemed Chen Chuyang's strength was greater than she had thought, and she had underestimated this person.

"Indeed, Daoist friend Chen Chuyang, we are now one family. Whatever you need, just speak; our Luotian White Snake Clan will not refuse."

The two spoke together, finalizing the matter; Bai Xinlan's backing out would be useless.

Bai Xinlan opened her mouth, looking at the two; they both prevented her from speaking. As the party concerned, she should be asked for her opinion, not that the two of you decided directly.

"Hahaha, you're both modest. From now on we are one family; I won't be modest either." Chen Chuyang understood the two's thoughts, naturally knew why they changed so quickly, and what White Azure Frost had discerned, but this was also fine, saving him much effort.

Their relationship needed to become closer, requiring more cooperation; there was no need for him to say more idle words.

Henceforth, Longshe Shan's safety would not be an issue; the Luotian White Snake Clan would not back down nor act against them.

The three stared at each other, confirming the matter; no one's coming would help.

Thus it was decided; the remaining matters would be easy to discuss.

When the transaction arrived, the Luotian White Snake Clan brought many items, all of which were Bai Xinlan's dowry, representing her status. The dowry was substantial; it was clear the Luotian White Snake Clan was truly earnest, not seeking to take advantage.

Chen Chuyang could not be rude; courtesy demands reciprocity. Since they had brought so much dowry, he could not pretend not to see it.

He produced many pills, handing them over; there were plenty of Seventh‑grade Pills and also some Eighth‑grade Pills. After the elder of White Azure Frost received the pills, they were thrilled and even happier.

Then came a simple meal, celebrating their alliance. After the marriage was completed, both sides benefited. White Azure Frost and Holy Maiden Bai Meng naturally left, while Bai Xinlan would certainly stay behind.

Thus, Bai Xinlan was left alone, looking at the many fine items on the ground—these were the dowry prepared for her by the elder, the elder's treasured collection. White Azure Frost had waited a long time for this day, and finally it arrived.

Qinglong Daoren led Xinran Zhanglao and the others away, not to disturb the two main parties' good affairs. Elder Xinran and True Person Tianlian left the place considerately, returning to their duties and yielding the space to the two.

Bai Xinlan stared at the man before her, then at the dowry scattered on the ground. She watched Chen Chuyang and the elder's actions the whole time, unable to intervene or speak, watching helplessly as she was sold.

Having been sold by her own elder and disciples to Chen Chuyang, those who received the pills left briskly, leaving her alone to face Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang smiled and said, "Daoist friend Bai Xinlan—no, you should be called Madam now."

"Madam, from now on you will be my woman."

He reached out, stroking her cheek; Bai Xinlan tried to dodge, but her body would not obey, uncontrollable.

Being touched on the cheek by a hand, that warm sensation, that feeling of being enveloped, was very different. It was the first time a man had touched her like that; Bai Xinlan panicked, her heart fluttered.

She met Chen Chuyang's eyes and instantly became enamored.

"You…"

"Don't speak recklessly; I'm not your Madam, you… wait." Bai Xinlan panicked, watching the man draw nearer, she panicked.

She had never been this nervous, nor ever looked at a man so closely; that scorching aura, that masculine breath, rushed onto her, instantly enveloping her.

Immediately, she was lifted up, her whole body hoisted, and her hands instinctively clutched Chen Chuyang's neck. She did not even know why she performed this series of actions; it was a reflex.

"Chen Chuyang, wait, we cannot…"

"Madam, you are my Madam; do you wish to back out?" Chen Chuyang lowered his head, smiling broadly.

Seeing that smile, Bai Xinlan hesitated, "Could you let me pause a moment? I haven't…"

"Madam, such a fine moment and scenery should not be wasted. My husband will let you pause in a few days; now is my time as your husband."

"Madam, do not worry; your husband will be very gentle."

Bai Xinlan: "……"

She could not stop it; she could only close her eyes.
