Chapter 649 - Forbidden Area of the Jiuli Tribe (1/2)
“Get married? Do they still need to take you back by this way? Do you have a fiancé? Then why did you have to do this to me?”
Qin Haodong felt that he was getting more and more confused. He asked a series of questions.
“Don’t worry. It’s a long story. Let me tell you slowly.”
Li Jiumei lay in Qin Haodong’s arms, found a comfortable position, and began to talk slowly.
“I grew up in Xiangxi. We are descendants of the Jiuli Tribe, and we worship the Great God Chi You.
“Chi You is an ancient god, but for some reason, our people only inherited some simple exercises. What’s more, they include the well-known witchcraft and poison.”
“There is a divine mountain behind our village, where Chi You’s statue is worshipped. Behind the statue is the forbidden area of the Jiuli Tribe. It is said that it used to be the place where Chi You lived. As long as you can open the gate of the forbidden area, you can get the purest inheritance of the Jiuli Tribe.”
It could only be regarded as a story and a legend by others. But Qin Haodong was different. He held the Xuan Yuan Sword in his hand and had inherited he Xuan Yuan Skill of the Yellow Emperor’s Cultivation Method.
Li Jiumei continued to say, “According to the ancestral behest of the Jiuli Tribe, the only way to open the gate of the forbidden area is to get Chi You’s approval through the blood of the Saintess.
“According to the ancestral behest, my village will choose a Saintess every 20 years. On the day when the Saintess reaches 20 years old, she will be taken to open the gate of the forbidden area. Unfortunately, after so many years, there is no Saintess that can get the approval of Chi You.”
Qin Haodong exclaimed, “How can they use the blood of the Saintess to open the forbidden area? Won’t they kill her directly?”
“Of course not. Our people are kind. How could they be so fierce to their clansmen?” Li Jiumei said, “There is a stone statue of a monster in front of the forbidden area. The way to open it is to take three drops of the Saintess’ blood and drip them in the monster’s mouth.
“However, there is a special requirement, which is that the Saintess must not be a virgin before 20 years old. According to the ancestral records, only by removing the Yin Qi from the blood can she get the approval of Master Chi You to the greatest extent.”
Qin Haodong said, “Are you the Saintess?”
Li Jiumei nodded and said, “I was selected as the Saintess not long after I was born. From that moment on, I couldn’t decide my own destiny.
“Fortunately, my grandfather was the chief of our village, and he was very open-minded. He didn’t limit me to a small place. He let me go to college and come out.
“However, he had one condition, which was that I must find a man at the age of 20 and then go to open the forbidden area of the holy mountain.
“Although there have always been a lot of boys pursuing me, I didn’t take a fancy to any of them until the day I saw you.”
She raised her head, stared into Qin Haodong’s eyes, and said, “When I saw you, I felt that you were the man I should choose. But you are so annoying. I wanted to date with you, but you cancelled on me.
“The day to open the forbidden area is getting closer. Originally, I wanted to find you again, but you suddenly disappeared again. I couldn’t see you for more than ten days.
“My grandfather couldn’t find me, so he arranged a marriage for me and asked me to go back to get married. But I didn’t like that person at all. How could I give myself to him casually?
“Two days later, it will be the day to open the forbidden area. Grandpa can’t wait any longer, so he asked my three brothers to take me back.”
Qin Haodong said with a bitter face, “But isn’t it a little hasty for you to choose me like this? I have several girlfriends.”
“There’s no problem,” said Li Jiumei. “My fate has already been decided. It’s better to give myself to someone I like than to someone I don’t.
“I knew that you wouldn’t agree so readily, so I used a little trick. I wanted to watch a movie to create an atmosphere, but it was disturbed by my three rude brothers.
“As for your girlfriends, I don’t care. It doesn’t matter if they like you or I like you, as long as you like me.”
After getting to the bottom of the matter, Qin Haodong said, “What if I didn’t come back in time?”
“What else can I do? I can’t make a slip of the tongue in front of grandpa. Otherwise, our family will become the sinner of the whole village.
“If you didn’t come back by tomorrow night, I would have only two choices. I could go back and get married to that guy, or find a person from school and sleep with him.”
Li Jiumei said with a smile, “Fortunately, you have a conscience and came back in time.”
Qin Haodong was speechless for a while. It had nothing to do with conscience. He didn’t know these things before, but since they had already happened, it could only be accepted.
If Zhi Fubao and the others knew that the second campus belle had also become his woman, he didn’t know if these guys would come to fight with him.
He asked, “When are you going back?”
“It’s not me, it’s us.” Li Jiumei smiled cunningly. “According to the rules of our tribe, you are now the son-in-law of our village. You must come with me.”
Unexpectedly, there was such a rule. Qin Haodong said, “Well… since you have already dealt with it, there is no need for me to go, right?”
“How can you do that? You must go, or my clansmen won’t believe me. If they force me to marry that guy again, I will make you a cuckold!”
“Uh…”
