Chapter 627: with translation of chapter title

Hearing the refined gentleman's words, Hong Zun, Qing Shi, and the others were all stunned—do they want to castrate?

For a moment, they all looked at Mo Yun with strange gazes.

Meanwhile, Mo Yun still didn't know what had happened, holding a grass knot in his hand, he asked with a puzzled expression.

"No, why are you all staring at me like that?"

Finally, Qi Xiong and the others spoke in unison.

"Congratulations, junior brother, on finding a good match."

"What nonsense, what are you talking about?"

Seeing everyone's expressions, Mo Yun also sensed something was off—could there be a problem with this grass knot?

Finally, after his questioning, he learned the local custom, and then, looking at the grass knot in his hand, he fell into deep thought.

He really didn't intend to do anything—it was just that old lady kept leaning toward him, babbling oh oh oh in something he couldn't understand, he drank two cups, and then she gave him the grass knot.

Just as Mo Yun wore a look of utter despair, several Inner Disciples of Wen Yuan Peak came over excitedly, each holding grass knots, and not just one each.

"Shīzūn, these people are really enthusiastic—they've all given us gifts."

Huh???

Hearing Shen Xian's voice, Mo Yun turned his head and was instantly dumbfounded.

How the hell are there so many grass knots? Especially Shen Xian, who's holding at least over ten.

「You.......... you all................ 」

"Hehe, Shīzūn, these are all gifts from the villagers; we can't refuse."

Not yet realizing the seriousness of the problem, Hong Zun and the others, seeing this scene, also curiously asked the refined gentleman.

"How so about this?"

"Well...... if you receive multiple grass knots, you just take turns going, anyway you definitely have to go through them all."

The refined gentleman's mouth twitched as he spoke, but after glancing at Shen Xian and the other Wen Yuan Peak disciples' builds, it wasn't hard to understand.

In the eyes of these natives, a man should be tall and strong, and the Wen Yuan Peak disciples are obviously the strongest, thus naturally the most favored.

And someone like Ye Zhangqing, fair and clean, is instead unpopular—this is a difference in aesthetic.

"Truly, the student surpasses the teacher."

Looking at Shen Xian and the others, each with both hands full of grass knots, Qi Xiong let out a sigh with a weird smile.

"You...... you bunch of rebellious disciples, idiots."

As for Mo Yun, he was half-dead with anger—"You dare accept these without knowing anything? And you took so many?"

Shen Xian and the others were completely bewildered, but after Mo Yun's explanation, they suddenly understood.

"Ah, then I'll return it?"

"Once a grass knot is given, it cannot be taken back."

The refined gentleman said leisurely from the side.

"There's such a saying? Isn't that just forcing oneself on someone?"

"No choice, it's always been this way on the island—when a woman takes a liking to a man, the man has no right to refuse."

"Holy shit.........."

Even returning it is impossible?

For a moment, Mo Yun and his disciples all felt depressed—how the hell did they get entangled in this?

As for Qi Xiong and the others, they were just stirring up trouble from the side.

"Junior brother, if I may say, if it really can't be done, just submit to the old village head—he's old, but the older he is, the more he'll dote on people, take a look at Bai Hua junior sister............."

Hong Zun had a gloating expression, but the next second Mo Yun's roar rang out.

"What the hell, how could that be the same?"

Take a look at that old village head—opening his mouth, he probably couldn't even show a few teeth; how could he compare to Bai Hua junior sister?

In the end, will she pity me, or will I be the one supporting her in her old age and seeing her off?

I, Mo Yun, will never bow down; I swear to the death not to submit.

He secretly swore in his heart, he at least has Shèngjìng cultivation—he doesn't believe these women would dare use force.

While Mo Yun was brooding over the grass knots, on the other side, Capture Dragon, accompanied by Wan Xiang, happened to find Shan Hu.

"Hey kid, are you willing to become my disciple of the Longxiang Peak?"

Capture Dragon had long taken a liking to Shan Hu, and after personally examining him just now, he discovered that Shan Hu possesses an Indestructible Battle Physique.

This is the top-tier special physique in the Haotu Shijie world, and it can be said to be the most suitable for body cultivation.

Capture Dragon instantly felt a desire to cherish talent.

But faced with Capture Dragon's invitation, Shan Hu didn't even think and directly refused.

"No, I want to stay with my elder brother."

Huh???

Hearing that, Capture Dragon speechlessly glanced at Ye Zhangqing beside him—is this kid a tiger?

No matter how much persuasion, Shan Hu simply wouldn't budge.

This kid is just like that—once he decides on something, he's single-minded; having sworn to his elder brother, in his view he should stay with his elder brother.

Not even Ye Zhangqing's persuasion works, unless Ye Zhangqing himself goes to Longxiang Peak.

But that's obviously impossible—even if Ye Zhangqing were willing, Qi Xiong and the others would certainly not agree.

Besides, I'm already a chief elder—what would I do going to Longxiang Peak?

Seeing Shan Hu so obstinate, Capture Dragon finally had to give up, but since we're all from the Dao Yi Sect, we can meet in the canteen—I'll teach him when I have time.

As for Shan Hu, Capture Dragon thinks highly of him—possessing an Indestructible Battle Physique, his future achievements will certainly not be lower than his own.

You little brat, I just had you bow to Capture Dragon Peak Master as your teacher—why didn't you agree?

After Capture Dragon left, Ye Zhangqing was somewhat speechless, but Shan Hu replied without hesitation.

I want to follow big brother; wherever big brother goes, I go.

You..............

Seeing this kid so obstinate, Ye Zhangqing also laughed in anger, and didn't say anything more.

The two lay on the tree trunk, gazing at the stars in the sky, when suddenly Shan Hu spoke up.

Big brother, is the outside world really that wonderful?

How could you ask that?

Grandfather has been telling me many things about the outside world since I was young; grandfather said, the place we live is like a tiny star in the heavens, and beyond this tiny star there are even more stars, a vaster heaven and earth.

There are many, many strong people there, some my age, some already famous across the heavens; big brother, you say, are those people really that strong?

Big brother, you say, if I were to fight them, could I win?

When talking about the outside world, Shan Hu's eyes were full of excitement, but all he thought about was fighting and killing.

This kid is always thinking about sparring and fighting; whether he wins or loses, in his view, fight first, talk later.

It was the same when we first met—he didn't care about anything, just went straight to fighting.

Seeing Shan Hu's eyes shining, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but laugh.

You really want to go see the outside world?

Yes, I've wanted to since I was little, but grandfather won't let me leave, saying the time hasn't come; yet the people on the island aren't my match, and there's no one to spar with me.

He said this with an excited face, but halfway through, Shan Hu's gaze dimmed again and his voice grew low.

I really want to go outside, but I know that if I leave, only grandfather will be left alone; I can't rest easy about him, I'm afraid he'll miss me, and I won't be by his side.
