The moment Lanling’s hand grabbed fiercely onto Ninian’s enticing, pert roundness, and his teeth bit down hard on her alluring red lips.
The nearly twenty thousand people in the entire field let out wolf-like screams and cheers!
At this moment, Lanling was their hero.
Whether it was the soldiers of the Chimera Tribe or the Wild Horse Tribe, they all watched this scene with incomparable excitement.
Only Constantine’s heart was bleeding.
This was his daughter. After cultivating her for so many years, he had finally elevated her to the reputation of the flower of the tribe.
For the sake of this so-called title of the tribe’s number one beauty, how much effort had he expended?
Ninian was beautiful enough, but compared to his second wife Sisi, she still fell somewhat short. But after years of cultivation, he had finally promoted her to the number one beauty. Not only the Chimera Tribe, but even the outstanding young men of the surrounding tribes were captivated by her.
Men were all vulgar creatures.
When they possessed a woman, it was not merely for beauty, but also for vanity. What they wanted was the envy of others.
So this required a woman to have looks, figure, reputation, and status.
Here, reputation was especially important!
For example, many female celebrities on Earth, were they truly that beautiful? Not necessarily. In reality, there were many girls more beautiful than celebrities, especially in nightclubs.
But after years of bombardment by media and film, seeing the same face every day, and crowning it with the title of number one beauty, over time many people would indeed feel that this face was truly beautiful.
Not to mention years of bombardment, after some escort girls spent money to hype their reputation online, their value immediately skyrocketed from two thousand to one hundred thousand.
In the barbaric kingdom, relationships between men and women were still relatively chaotic.
So Constantine wanted to forge Ninian into the embodiment of nobility, beauty, and chastity.
Then, use this daughter to attract the loyalty of many outstanding young men.
Would he marry his daughter to Du Yan, Yang Gu, or Qiu Ju? No!
The one he wanted to marry her to was someone of higher status, such as the son of the Southeastern Barbarian King, the overlord of several thousand li of tribes.
And now, his daughter’s bottom had been touched by Lanling in public, and her ** lips had also been kissed in public. In an instant, her value had dropped by at least half.
And the ones even more furious were undoubtedly Du Yan, Yang Gu, and Qiu Ju.
They had pursued Ninian for several years. The greatest extent of intimacy had been holding hands, and it seemed Ninian had done so unintentionally, a handshake full of friendship.
They had never expected that Lanling would grab her bottom with one hand and bite her little mouth with one bite.
They truly wished they could tear Lanling into ten thousand pieces and chop him into minced meat.
And Ninian herself, at this moment, felt an incomparably intense sensation, one she did not know how to describe.
Infatuated and bewildered?
No, it was not that simple.
She was in a very complex emotional state. Stimulation, humiliation, excitement, surging passion, and so on, were all insufficient to describe her feelings at this moment.
In short, it was complex. She had never had such feelings in her entire life.
Lanling was not touching at all, but giving a heavy slap.
Moreover, he was not kissing at all, but biting down hard, directly breaking her lips and drawing blood.
But this pain was not unpleasant at all. On the contrary, it brought her intense stimulation, even causing certain genes deep within her body to stir restlessly.
So at this moment, it felt both endlessly long and fleetingly short.
Long because every sensation was incomparably clear and profound.
Short because before she could savour it carefully, everything had already ended.
“If Miss Ninian is still not satisfied, you are welcome to meet me in the woods tonight. I guarantee I will satisfy you.” Lanling released her and laughed loudly.
Instantly, Ninian sobered up.
She felt it necessary to do something to salvage her reputation. She immediately slapped Lanling across the face.
“Slap!”
After slapping him, Ninian turned and walked away, her face icy cold.
This woman was truly deeply scheming. At the critical moment, she knew how to stop her losses.
Her slap at Lanling was to tell her admirers that she had made this sacrifice for the tribe, and she was still chaste.
This way, it could also provide some psychological comfort to those fanatical pursuers.
This was like a university student who had a department flower girlfriend, cherishing her like a goddess. Then one day, the girlfriend walked around the dormitory without clothes on, completely naked, seen clearly by boys in the opposite dormitory through a telescope, who even took photos and saved them on their computers.
Then in his mind, he would definitely feel that the goddess value of this girlfriend had plummeted, that she was no longer precious.
If she had posed nude for some impressive magazine cover, still seen naked by other men, striking various poses.
Though this boyfriend would still feel uncomfortable in his heart, he could console himself. My girlfriend sacrificed for art. The class and value are both there.
So, this Ninian was an absolute scheming woman!
If this had been before, Lanling would still have been interested in understanding the inner world of such a girl, and discovering her lovable qualities, just as he had with Gui Qinshao.
But now, Lanling had only one thought. Kill her with one stroke to keep things simple, to avoid trouble.
Because such a woman could very likely become a calamity.
……
Today’s grand show had ended. Both tribes withdrew their troops back to camp. Lanling returned to the Foreign Army and received hero-like cheers.
This made Du Yan extremely uncomfortable, as if sitting on pins and needles.
Furrowing his brows, he ultimately chose to leave.
And at this moment, Ninian was in her father Constantine’s tent. The two fell into silence.
Constantine did not blame his daughter. He often scolded his sons, but rarely blamed his daughter.
Because this daughter of his had completely inherited his scheming nature. In many matters, she did not need his guidance at all, and she knew what to do.
For example, today’s matter could not be blamed on Ninian at all. It was all because Lanling was too shameless.
On the contrary, at the final moment, Ninian’s cold expression and the slap she gave Lanling were done very timely, achieving the maximum loss prevention.
“Father, what should we do about Lanling?” Ninian said, “This person’s martial arts are not strong, but his talent is very high. And the demon bloodline in his body seems very special, actually able to intimidate war horses.”
Constantine said, “Yes, because there is a very special energy aura in his bloodline, capable of arousing the ancient memories of certain beasts.”
Ninian said, “This point alone is worth ten thousand gold. Whether it is taming and capturing griffins, or dealing with enemy cavalry, it is of great use. If he can be used by us, his future prospects will surpass Du Yan’s.”
Constantine said, “You want to use him?”
Ninian said, “It is difficult. This person is extremely crazy, unruly, and looks down on everyone.”
Constantine said, “Nini, do you still remember Father’s ambition?”
Ninian said, “I remember. To conquer all the lands south of Wolf River and east of Doom Mountain!”
Constantine came before a crude map.
Wolf River was the largest river in the southern barbaric wilderness, stretching tens of thousands of li, almost running through more than half of the barbaric continent.
Doom Mountain had an average elevation of six to seven thousand metres, with perpetual snow, stretching thousands of li.
So, one great river and one mountain range became two natural barriers, enclosing and protecting this area of two thousand li.
On this land of over one million square kilometres, there dwelled over forty large and small tribes, nearly two million people.
And the Chimera Tribe was merely one of them.
Constantine shook his head and said, “That ambition is somewhat distant. In the barbaric world, martial might is supreme. I am already in my forties, and I seem to have already seen the limit of my martial arts. So my current goal is to conquer a quarter of this region.”
He drew a corner on the map, exactly a quarter of this one and a half million square kilometres, approximately four hundred thousand square kilometres.
“On this land, there are twelve tribes, five hundred thousand people, and two hundred thousand troops.” Constantine said, “The Wild Horse Tribe is merely the first step in our conquest of this land. To use the words of the human kingdoms, the task is heavy and the road is long.”
Ninian said, “Father, do you mean you want to use Lanling?”
Constantine said, “I previously wanted to kill him several times, because he was blocking Du Yan’s path. But if his future is stronger than Du Yan’s, and he can be used by us, then we might as well give him a chance.”
Ninian said, “But, he is truly difficult to tame.”
Constantine said, “You have no confidence in yourself?”
Ninian said, “I just despise him, and am unwilling to deal with him hypocritically.”
Constantine’s eyes narrowed and he said, “You were perfectly willing to play-act with Du Yan and the other three, so why are you so impatient with Lanling?”
Ninian did not speak.
Because these three men were infatuated with her, and she could completely manipulate them in the palm of her hand. So when she acted with them, it was a kind of enjoyment.
But when she tried to seduce Lanling, he always had a knowing smile, his eyes full of mockery.
Moreover, the energy aura constantly emanating from his body instead made her passion surge. This made Ninian feel that she was at a disadvantage, so of course she felt uncomfortable.
Constantine said, “Go and try. Just say I am willing to give him a chance, to let him become the chief of the Foreign Army, and to become my son-in-law.”
Instantly, Ninian could not help but roll her eyes and said, “Father, how many men do you plan to betroth your daughter to?”
“Haha……” Constantine said, “Only one, and that is the son of the Southeastern Tribal Alliance leader, the Little Barbarian King!”
This person was truly despicable. After hyping his daughter up as the flower of the tribe, he had hinted to who knew how many outstanding young men, both openly and secretly, that he would marry his daughter to them, making each of these young men utterly devoted.
Of course, on the true day Ninian was married off, he would have played his hand badly.
But as long as he conquered the Wild Horse Tribe, the Ankara Tribe, and so on, expanding his territory several times over, then everything would not be a problem.
After pondering for quite a while, Constantine said, “Ninian, go find Lanling secretly tonight, have a talk with him, and find a way to conquer him.”
“Yes!” Ninian said.
……
At night, there was another lively bonfire feast, eating meat and drinking wine, truly delightful.
Lanling completely blended in with the Foreign Army brothers, singing and telling those vulgar jokes.
The revelry did not end until eleven o’clock at night.
Returning to his own tent, Lanling lay down to sleep.
Only half a shichen later, his keen spiritual power immediately sensed an extra figure in the tent, along with a woman’s fragrance, very familiar.
The fragrance was familiar, and the curves of the figure were also familiar. It was the chief’s daughter, Ninian.
“Miss Ninian, are you truly addicted? Coming to meet me in the middle of the night?” Lanling laughed, then without any courtesy pounced forward, one hand directly grabbing towards her chest.
Ninian dodged sharply, her gaze coldly fixed on him as she said, “Put away your pretence. I have important matters to discuss with you.”
Lanling sat cross-legged and said, “Sit.”
Ninian sat cross-legged before him.
Lanling sighed and said, “Normally when standing, I did not notice, but now that you are sitting, your bottom is truly astonishing.”
Ninian’s eyes twitched again. What made her uncomfortable was Lanling’s tone, not treating her like a goddess at all, casually flirting with her.
“My father sent me to find you, saying he is willing to give you a chance.” Ninian said, “As long as you are willing to truly pledge loyalty to him, we are willing to let you become the great chief of the Foreign Army, and……”
Lanling said, “And there is also a chance to become his son-in-law, your husband, correct?”
Ninian was startled, then nodded.
“Impossible.” Lanling sneered, “Your father schemed with all his might to promote you to the reputation of the tribe’s number one beauty. He absolutely cannot bear to marry you to a young man within the tribe. He will definitely try every means to marry you to someone whose status far surpasses his. Marry you to me? Similar words, he has definitely said them to more than one person, and not just to Du Yan, Yang Gu, and Qiu Ju. How many men does he plan to betroth you to?”
The moment these words came out, Ninian’s face immediately turned ugly. Lanling’s words were too cutting, even though this was the truth.
Then, she lowered her head, bit her teeth tightly, as if making a difficult choice.
After a long while, she raised her head and said to Lanling, “What is your current cultivation level?”
“Seven-star warrior.” Lanling said.
“Truly?” Ninian truly found it hard to believe. A seven-star warrior defeating a Wild Horse Tribe demon warrior-level berserker was too sensational.
Ninian said, “Then why were you able to intimidate the Wild Horse Tribe’s war horses?”
Lanling said, “Because the demon bloodline in my body is very special.”
Ninian closed her eyes and fell into hesitation once more. She seemed to be making a very significant decision.
After a long while, she opened her mouth and said, “My father wants to marry me to the son of the Southeastern Barbarian King.”
Lanling was startled and said, “Southeastern Barbarian King, who is that?”
Ninian said, “He is the overlord of over one hundred tribes in the entire southeastern region. If you look closely, you will discover that actually, we of the Chimera Tribe, the Wild Horse Tribe, and the Ankara Tribe are all of one race. The difference lies only in our skin and tattoos. Our race is called the Rakshasa Race, descendants of the Rakshasa King who was once under the Demon Sovereign’s command.”
Lanling was greatly astonished. There was actually this history.
Demon Sovereign? Was it a demon? Or was it the world-destroying Demon Emperor who had nearly destroyed the human world last time?
Ninian said, “However, the Little Barbarian King already has over a dozen wives. If I marry over, I would merely be one among over a dozen.”
“You do not want to marry?” Lanling said.
“Yes, I do not want to marry.” Ninian said.
Lanling said, “Then what do you want?”
Ninian said, “What do you think of my brother, Constantine the Second?”
“He is an idiot.” Lanling said.
“Yes.” Ninian said, “He only inherited Father’s martial might and ferocity, but not his scheming and cunning.”
Lanling said, “But in the barbaric world, cunning is not highly valued.”
Ninian said, “But it is very useful. I feel I am more outstanding than my brother.”
Lanling’s gaze narrowed and he said, “You want to become the chief of the Chimera Tribe?”
Ninian nodded and said, “Yes! Not merely the chief of the Chimera Tribe, but also the master of this thousand-li land. Conquering the Wild Horse Tribe is merely the first step.”
Lanling’s gaze narrowed. This woman’s ambition was truly great.
Previously, Lanling had been curious whether her manipulation of the most outstanding young men of several tribes in the palm of her hand was due to a passion for the game of love, or if she had other motives.
Now, the answer had come out.
Ninian continued, “If you can help me become the female chief, help me conquer this thousand-li land, I am willing to marry you, to let you become second only to one person and above ten thousand. In the future, our son will become the master of this land.”
Lanling instantly wanted to laugh.
How similar it was!
Except, with Zhi Yan’s disposition, she had ultimately killed her husband Suo Lun with one sword. How much more so with the woman before him?
From the moment he was killed by his wife Zhi Yan, Lanling had decided not to believe anyone. He chose to grasp his own fate, to grasp the strongest power.
He himself wanted to become the king of tribes, the Barbaric Great Emperor.
Ninian said, “At that time, you would not merely be the chief of a Foreign Army. Your status would far surpass that of a tribal chief. You may be very capable, but this land stretching thousands of li is all inhabited by Rakshasa Race descendants. As a foreigner, you have no foothold at all, unless I give you the opportunity, unless you pledge loyalty to me. What do you think?”
Lanling said, “There is a very famous saying. I do not know if you have heard it?”
“What saying?” Ninian said.
“Talk about it later.” Lanling said, “To put it more crudely, empty words are worth nothing, but offering your body is proof. To express your sincerity, offer your body first.”
