Chapter 19 – Husband

"Young master!"

General Xiong San rushed in from outside the tent, his voice full of anger. "These assassins only took the bounty, and we couldn't get any information from them. The priests are also powerless!"

Wu Wang leaned on the animal skin chair, looking a little tired, with a faint glimmer in his eyes.

"Kill them, but keep it quiet. Remember to let the priests eliminate their souls."

General Xiong San widened his eyes. "Just kill them like that? Isn't that letting them off too easily?"

"Handle it quietly," Wu Wang waved his hand. "Report to my father tomorrow and don't disturb him and my mother's reunion."

"Yes!"

General Xiong San bowed and was about to leave.

"Wait, General San."

Wu Wang suddenly stopped Xiong San, his eyes flashing uncertainly.

Xiong San waited below, a little surprised to see the usually decisive and efficient young master hesitate like this.

"Young master, what's wrong?"

"Someone has already set their sights on me. We can't easily let the mastermind behind this go, otherwise how can our Bear Hug Clan stand firm in North Wilderness?"

Wu Wang took a deep breath and his hesitation disappeared. He said calmly, "To develop together, we must do so on the premise that we don't suffer losses. In North Wilderness, it's all about whose fist is bigger, not who does more good deeds. General San, kill these people immediately, but don't feed their bodies to the wolves. After dawn, spread the news and say... my mother used her unique Star-Praying Technique, under the guidance of the all-powerful Star God, following the law of cause and effect, to cast a spell on the bodies of these assassins for seven days. This will help us find the root of all the events."

Xiong San couldn't help but wonder, "What is the law of cause and effect?"

"Just spread the word as I said. Do you remember all of this?"

"I remember. Lady Cang Xue takes action, Lord Star God guides, the ability of the head of the Sun Festival, follow the law of cause and effect, find the root of all events!"

Xiong San looked at Lin Suqing and then stood up straight again. "Don't worry, young master. We're not that stupid!"

Seeing Wu Wang nod, the burly man ran out of the tent, shouting a few times and causing some commotion.

Lin Suqing thought for a moment and looked up at Wu Wang. She saw his figure sinking into the animal skin chair.

The starlight was weak, shining on his thin face, but there were some dark areas that couldn't be illuminated.

"Young master, is everything okay?" Lin Suqing asked softly.

"It's nothing."

Wu Wang responded and closed his eyes. He made a gesture of prayer and sacrifice with his hands and murmured, "...""May those who are about to pass away because of my decision find peace under the guidance of the Star God."

In his heart, Wu Wang silently added:

"May the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the Jade Emperor, the Amitabha Buddha, and the Great Relative Einstein bless them."

Although the Great Wasteland was not under their jurisdiction.

Lin Suqing didn't quite understand Wu Wang's prayer. Those who kill will always be killed, and there was no need to have any mercy towards these assassins who came to assassinate her.

Could it be that the young master was actually very gentle in his heart... and she didn't deserve to enjoy this gentleness?

Self-closing is often just a thought away.

But the development of the situation completely exceeded Lin Suqing's imagination. If it had to be summarized in four words, it would be...

Bloodshed and carnage.

The bodies of these assassins were hung outside the palace, and a large number of priests prayed around them. General Xiong San's rumors quickly spread throughout the Star-Praying Religion.

On the sixth night of the hanging, the wolf cubs in the animal pens around the palace were restless.

In the middle of the night, a large number of shadows fell from the sky, aiming directly at the more than ten corpses, but they were surrounded by the elite troops of the Bear Hug Clan who had been waiting for them.

The starlight blocked the way, and arrows crisscrossed.

A battle lasted for nearly half an hour. Dozens of attackers were captured alive, and the rest were annihilated. Their route was also questioned, repeatedly verified and found to be correct.

The Bear Hug Clan was close to the Long Hair Clan.

The Long Hair Clan was mainly composed of human and fur people, good at driving herds, and believed in the Star God and the Beast God.

Although the overall strength of this clan did not rank in the top ten of the North Wilderness, they were not weak, and they had a lot of friction with the Bear Hug Clan due to border disputes, which resulted in accumulated grievances.

Their plan was seamless. They released a bounty through a certain force in the West Wilderness. The Rain Master's Daughter Country Witch who was caught was also a "professional team" who had been doing assassination for years, and basically no one could trace the employer.

But who would have thought that there was still some karmic mystery in the Star-Praying Technique!

In fact, at the beginning, the leader and the high priest of the Long Hair Clan did not believe this news.

But when rumors spread within the clan and strange phenomena frequently appeared in the sky, they could not sit still.

What was even more deadly was that their assassins did not die, and they couldn't withstand the interrogation skills of a certain young master. The dozens of testimonies with different levels of detail all pointed to the leader and high priest of the Long Hair Clan.

Half a month later.

The Bear Hug Clan declared war without notice and attacked the Long Hair Clan from three directions.

One and a half months later.

This clan war ended with the Long Hair Tribe being defeated and quickly coming to an end.At the suggestion of Lady Cang Xue, the Bear Hug Clan divided part of the original territory of the Chang Mao Clan and distributed it evenly among several nearby powerful clans.

-- This was naturally arranged by Wu Wang.

Shoot the bird that sticks out, and bless the strongest.

Since Xing Tian had the ambition to compete with the Heavenly Emperor, it was good for the Bear Hug Clan to follow him and drink some soup, and steadily mix in the North Wilderness.

After the war, Lady Cang Xue convened and presided over the seven-day Sun Festival, expelling the Chang Mao Clan from the North Wilderness, and allowing the former members of the Chang Mao Clan to become refugees and be absorbed by the various clans protected by the Star God.

A medium-sized clan disappeared within two months.

It is worth mentioning that not many Bear Hug Clan members were killed or injured in the war.

The major clans who were watching thought it would be a stalemate for at least half a year, but in reality, the Bear Hug Clan pushed forward overwhelmingly, and the Chang Mao Clan was completely helpless.

The chariot crossbows, the Star-Praying Technique that affected the local weather, and the new type of rapid-fire giant crossbow among the giant wolf riders became the focus of attention of various clans.

Unfortunately, the new giant crossbow was kept tightly under wraps by the Bear Hug Clan, claiming that it did not exist, that it was a toy, and that it was just the tribe members bragging and spreading rumors.

When the Chang Mao Clan war was completely over, the designers of these giant crossbows and tactics wrote a big character in their small riverside hut:

[Competition].

Lin Suqing, who was grinding ink beside them, frowned and asked softly, "Such a big clan, just like that?"

"Otherwise?"

Wu Wang put down his brush and sat back in his chair, smiling. "A clan that has never had a Sun Festival will always be a peripheral force in the North Wilderness, and can be swallowed up by other forces at any time."

Lin Suqing hesitated and asked her concerns, "If it wasn't the Chang Mao Clan that came that night, but another powerful clan... wouldn't we suffer great losses, like hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred of our own?"

Wu Wang explained a little more, "Before making this decision, I hesitated for a long time, but there was no way. This is the responsibility I must bear.

If I were an ordinary member of the Bear Hug Clan, I would only be able to retaliate based on my own strength if I were attacked.

But as the heir and leader of this clan, being assassinated is not just my personal matter."

Seeing that Lin Suqing seemed to understand but not quite, Wu Wang added, "If the heir of a clan is assassinated without consequences, then that clan will inevitably be seen as weak by other powerful clans, and disasters will come one after another.""The Long Hair Clan may have support from other major clans, otherwise they wouldn't be so obsessed with getting back at us.

Showing off our muscles appropriately is the only way to intimidate the forces that can truly threaten us.

This is the way of survival in the North Wilderness."

With a pause in his speech, Wu Wang laughed and said, "Why am I telling you all this? Go back to your room and practice."

"Oh," Lin Suqing replied softly and walked towards the door.

Before she left, she turned her head and asked, "Young Master, what about the sealed puppet?"

"It was cremated."

Wu Wang replied without looking up, "It's quite pitiful to have its self-awareness erased when it was just born."

Fire...

Lin Suqing pursed her lips, lowered her head, and retreated. She thought Wu Wang would spare the puppet's life.

After resting for a while, Wu Wang calmed down his emotions that were slightly stirred up.

He stood up, picked up his pen, and wrote the word "Xian" after the word "Zheng" with all his might.

Last time when his parents returned to the clan for a reunion, Wu Wang had already told them that he wanted to go to the Human Realm to explore and see the world.

His father strongly opposed it, while his mother expressed some concerns. However, as long as his mother agreed, persuading his father wouldn't be difficult.

After the battle with the Long Hair Clan, the Bear Hug Clan should be able to stabilize for a long time. The blessing of the Star God was unlikely to happen again in a short period of time, and there was still the Great Wave Clan blocking the way.

The timing to seek an immortal's help to cure the strange illness was mature enough.

It was time to prepare to go to the Human Realm, go to the North Wilderness market to buy some "back-to-school" supplies, and show the ordinary financial power of the ordinary clans in the North Wilderness.

Three months later, Wu Wang's carriage rushed out of the palace, with a pack of giant wolves, towards a seaside market.

"Hubby, hubby?"

Who?

Wu Wang "opened" his eyes, and what he saw was a blurry aurora. He was sitting under a tree.

Looking down, he saw a pair of white and tender little hands, wearing a fur short-sleeved shirt and shorts, just like his dress when he was seven or eight years old.

A dream?

"Husband, do you like me?"

Suddenly, a clear voice came into his ears. Wu Wang looked up abruptly, and a little girl's figure was standing in front of him, slowly bending down.

Wu Wang couldn't see her face clearly, nor her figure, but he could see her sweet smile.

"That's settled then. We are now husband and wife."

Husband and wife?

How did they become husband and wife?Wu Wang's eyes widened as he immediately realized something. He tried to lift his hand to grab the little girl in front of him, but felt too weak to do so.

He felt a slight tingling sensation on his shoulder, as the little girl had bitten him with her two sharp teeth.

In the next instant, the little girl disappeared and a blurry figure appeared instead. This figure was tall, slender, and had almost perfect curves. The first thing that caught Wu Wang's attention was her long hair, which reached her waist, but he couldn't see her face or clothes clearly.

"Who are you?" Wu Wang asked in his mind, but couldn't speak. He felt a strong desire to see her face and know her origins.

"Who are you?" he asked again, and suddenly saw her bright eyes, filled with tenderness and affection.

The blurry figure suddenly disappeared, and broken images flashed before Wu Wang's eyes, along with distant and near calls:

"I won't make you wait too long..."

"Husband..."

"Wait for me... wait for me..."

Wait!

Wu Wang suddenly opened his eyes on the speeding carriage, his body tense and sweating profusely. His eyes couldn't focus for a moment.

"You feeling hot, young master?" Lin Suqing's voice came from beside him, and Wu Wang felt like he had grabbed a rope and pulled himself out of a swamp.

He took a deep breath and immediately asked Lin Suqing to take out her ink and paper, and quickly drew three pictures.

The first was the scene from his dream: a dense tree with starlight reflecting on a small lake, and colorful auroras floating everywhere.

The second was the silhouette of the little girl.

The third was a pair of eyes, eyes that were impossible to describe in detail. They were almond-shaped, but even more gentle than almond eyes.

After finishing these three drawings, Wu Wang felt completely drained and sat there in a daze, unable to come back to reality.

Did he forget something?

Did he have memory loss when he was seven or eight years old?

Wu Wang tried to recall and investigate repeatedly, but came to the certain conclusion that his memory was intact and there were no gaps.

So what was this dream about?

He couldn't have just dreamt for no reason!

In terms of the Star-Praying Technique, Wu Wang was considered a "strong practitioner" in North Wilderness, and he couldn't just have a random dream.

"What's wrong, young master?" Lin Suqing asked worriedly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"How did I fall asleep?""Just fell asleep like that," Lin Suqing felt a bit at a loss, "You started meditating as soon as you got on the carriage, and then started snoring."

Wu Wang carefully recalled the situation before he fell asleep, which appeared in his mind.

Lin Suqing worriedly said, "Is it because you push yourself too hard in your daily cultivation? You have to be careful. Cultivation is most afraid of being too greedy for progress and unstable mentality, which can easily induce demonic thoughts."

Demonic thoughts?

Is it because he has been eager to know how the strange illness came about, and his Dao heart has cracks?

Wu Wang rubbed his forehead and looked at the painting in front of him, his mind unable to calm down for a long time.

This may be a demonic thought, or...

It is the root of his strange illness!

With the clues and information he currently has, he cannot draw any effective conclusions.

A flame surged in his palm, and Wu Wang directly burned the three paintings in front of him into ashes, instructed Lin Suqing a few words, and told her to act as if she had never seen anything.

Holding the necklace stored close to his body, Wu Wang wanted to contact his mother, but then loosened the necklace.

First, he had to confirm whether it was the work of demonic thoughts before seeking help from his mother. He couldn't rely on her for everything.

"Young Master," the guard reported, "We are not far from the market. According to the agreement of the various clans, the large group cannot approach the market."

Wu Wang asked, "Suqing, how is the contact over there?"

"They are ready," Lin Suqing replied.

"Okay," Wu Wang took out a beast bone mask from his embrace and put it on, continuing to ponder this sudden dream.

Wu Wang was certain that he had never seen the owner of those almond-shaped eyes before.

After careful comparison, Wu Wang ruled out the Star God.

The Star God's eyes were more narrow and long, probably phoenix eyes.

Seriously, Wu Wang had really thought many times before that he had been chosen by a rich woman of the Star God clan and had been given some kind of "blessing" by the Star God, so he couldn't contact other women. He even prepared himself mentally that if the Star God came to take him away and he couldn't beat her, he would sacrifice himself to defend his right to choose a spouse!

But now, things seemed to have become... a bit weird.

He raised his hand and touched the spot on his shoulder where he had been "bitten", but there was no wound and no related memories.

If, and he was just saying if, his strange illness was really caused by the woman who appeared in his dream just now, leaving a mark or curse on him, or some other strange thing.

And the current strongest Sun Festival in North Wilderness and his grandmother, who had lived for more than six hundred years, were powerless against this curse, then the identity of this woman...

Is not inferior to the Star God?"This is impossible, there is no reason for it, it's too absurd.

In his previous life, the last scene he remembered was flying a spaceship into a wormhole near Blue Star, then a loud bang, the spaceship exploded, he died, and he vaguely felt his soul drifting through endless darkness, being pulled away by some vortex.

In this life, he fully regained his memories from his previous life at the age of three, and his memories before the age of three were also fully preserved.

Wu Wang could be sure that he had never seen that girl in his previous or current life!

Is this the devil in his heart?

But if he doesn't count the Star-Praying Technique, he's still in the Gathering Qi realm...

Ah, headache.

In the distance, the sound of waves hitting the shore could be heard, and the edge of his vision was filled with pure blue, seeing the sparkling sea on the horizon.

Four Frost Wolves ran amok and directly rushed into the bustling market, attracting countless gazes.

After a moment, Wu Wang temporarily suppressed these chaotic thoughts in his heart. He entered the largest circular tent in the market with more than ten guards.

The setting inside the tent reminded Wu Wang of the venue where he watched circus performances in his previous life.

Hundreds of seats surrounding the central stage were completely empty, and the entrances were sealed by fierce guards.

As soon as they entered, more than ten cool-dressed and hot-bodied women from various tribes came forward and greeted them, calling out coquettishly:

"My lord, this way please."

Wu Wang nodded slightly, and the guards threw out two bags of gold and silver vulgar objects.

They were just some colored stones.

After a while, Wu Wang sat in the front row center position, with various delicacies in front of him and a crystal glass shaking beside him.

Lin Suqing stood quietly beside him and said to the stage:

"You may begin."

Dang--

A burly man with horns all over his head and a strong smell of blood hit the golden gong and shouted:

"The 632nd North Wilderness Treasure Auction officially begins!"

Hmm, no need to think too much, just enjoy loneliness."
