Chapter 1356: Precious Bride Price

"That's not what I mean!"

A Xing stamped his foot.

He was a bit anxious.

"What does that mean?"

Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

A Xing hesitated for a moment, then, with a flushed face, said, "The bride price is for my father; even if he gives something back to us, it won't be the whole amount! I'm afraid you'll be too extravagant…"

"Ha ha!"

Ye Liuyun heard that and couldn't help but laugh.

"I was thinking of you, and you still laugh at me!"

A Xing's face turned even redder from his laughter.

"You're afraid we won't have enough to live on later, right?"

Ye Liuyun directly shot back!

"You… I won't look after you any longer!"

A Xing heard that, embarrassed, covered his face and ran away.

Ye Liuyun watched A Xing's retreating back and couldn't help but chuckle.

Ye Tiandao saw this and suddenly thought that the lady indeed had foresight.

"The master still really likes this girl!"

After A Xing left, Ye Liuyun went back to continue his cultivation.

These days his cultivation time has been reduced; advancing to the later stage of Earth Sovereign requires even more time, so he must seize every moment.

He hadn't even given the bride price matter any thought.

It wasn't until the next day A Xing came calling that he finally stepped out of his room.

"The people from the Sen Tian Tribe and the Hunting Wolf Tribe have all arrived; only you are missing!"

A Xing had come specifically to summon him.

"Let's go!"

Ye Liuyun, steady and composed, led A Xing, hurrying to the Clan Chief's residence.

Outside the Clan Chief's dwelling, a crowd of tribe members had already gathered to watch the spectacle.

Sen Tian Tribe's Clan Chief's son, Sen Biao, acted extremely arrogant, babbling endlessly to the chief about how prosperous the Sen Tian Tribe was.

Meanwhile, the Hunting Wolf Tribe's Xiong Feng seemed a rather sinister man, sitting quietly there, expressionless, watching Sen Biao's bragging performance.

They were here to compare bride prices; no matter how skillfully Sen Biao boasted, he couldn't outdo them and would have to leave empty‑handed.

But the Hunting Wolf Tribe came prepared this time, ready to trample the Sen Tian Tribe when the moment came.

Thus, the more Sen Biao bragged, the louder the slap on his face would be later.

When Ye Liuyun arrived, the tribe members cleared a path for him and A Xing.

Since their return, the two hadn't switched back to beast skins, so they both appeared much more refined.

Their appearance alone outshone Sen Biao and Xiong Feng.

"Hmph, pandering to the crowd!"

Sen Biao sneered and curled his lip.

Xiong Feng stared at Ye Liuyun with venomous eyes, as if his gaze alone could kill him.

"Alright, everyone is present; now please bring out your bride prices for comparison! We'll have a fair contest—according to A Xing's request, whoever offers the larger bride price, A Xing will marry that side."

The Clan Chief shifted the whole matter onto A Xing, not wanting to offend the other tribes.

Hearing that, Sen Biao's spirit revived, and he began to show off again.

"If you ask me, none of you need to make a move! Our Sen Tian Tribe has poured blood money into marrying A Xing this time!"

As Sen Biao spoke, he deliberately took out the items one by one, savoring the envious gazes of the crowd.

"Beast skins, one thousand sheets!"

The first batch of beast skins piled up in a huge heap, drawing gasps from the onlookers.

Sen Biao glanced at Xiong Feng and Ye Liuyun, feeling very proud.

Beast meat, one thousand jin; brewed wine, one thousand vats…

"Finally, there are also a thousand slaves and five hundred horses! They'll be brought over for the marriage."

After his boastful announcement, Sen Biao arrogantly swept his gaze over the entire crowd.

The whole assembly was shocked by these bride prices.

When they were merely a small tribe, these items alone could match the wealth of the entire clan.

Although they have now become a large tribe, the time is still short, so these supplies are still considerable for them.

Sen Biao glanced at Ye Liuyun's indifference, while Xiong Feng also showed a hint of contemptuous smile.

"What?

Your Hunting Wolf Tribe can also produce this much?"

Sen Biao assumed Ye Liuyun's lack of expression meant he couldn't produce anything.

So he provoked, targeting Xiong Feng's disdain.

Xiong Feng finally retorted, "Wan Hong Tribe is now a great tribe as well, and A Xing is the Clan Chief's cherished jewel. With these ordinary things, you still think you can marry A Xing?"

Hearing that, Sen Biao was displeased as well, retorting, "Ordinary things?"

"These items, which one can you do without?"

"You speak as if you're so noble!"

I may not be very virtuous, but the things I brought are absolutely rare!

Xiong Feng smiled and produced a long spear.

This Earth Tier long spear should be worth far more than your ordinary stuff, right?

Xiong Feng looked at Sen Biao and burst out laughing.

The Hunting Wolf Tribe really went all out! They even brought out these clan‑treasuring artifacts?

Sen Biao saw this and was also startled.

The Sen Tian Tribe tried to win by sheer numbers, actually also thinking that marrying a woman isn't worth a great expense.

Unexpectedly, the Hunting Wolf Tribe took an even longer‑term view.

They set their sights on the strength of the Wan Hong Tribe.

After all, they sent so many experts to block the road, and all were wiped out by the Wan Hong Tribe!

So they spared no expense in bringing out treasures, just to ally with the Wan Hong Tribe.

Sen Biao still insisted: "Even if it's precious, it's not worth as much as my stuff!"

"Don't rush, it's not like we've run out!"

Xiong Feng smiled and took out another pill.

"This is a Sea Transformation pill."

It can help a Martial Cultivator at the True Essence Realm increase the chance of breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm!

"Wow!"

The surrounding tribespeople immediately exclaimed in surprise.

To the tribe, this could cultivate a Sea Transformation Realm expert.

Everyone gazed at that pill with burning eyes, envy overflowing.

Sen Biao was also speechless.

He never expected the Hunting Wolf Tribe to invest so heavily.

But just with these two items, their total value still can't compare to his.

Before he could speak, Xiong Feng produced two more books.

Besides, to show our sincerity, we are willing to share our tribe's only two Mysterious Tier cultivation manuals with the Wan Hong Tribe!

This made Sen Biao's face turn very grim.

The things Xiong Feng brought out even moved him.

In a tribe where cultivation resources are lagging, weapons, pills, and manuals with grades are worth far more than other things.

Rarity makes value!

However, Xiong Feng keenly noticed that no exclamations came from the crowd this time!

He glanced at the crowd, somewhat puzzled.

He had no idea that the Wan Hong Tribe had just obtained a hundred Earth Tier cultivation manuals.

Everyone quickly thought: if Ye Liuyun counts those manuals as his betrothal gift, he's sure to win.

So many people looked at him with sympathy or mockery.
