Chapter 295
"Oh my! I still can't tell the truth. I refuse to believe any woman would like you because of your long beard.
If you can find a girl who says your beard looks good, I'll admit I was talking nonsense and apologize."
"No need to apologize. You just need to marry me."
"Marry you? No way. I simply don't feel attracted to you. A forced match isn't sweet, especially when I don't even want to deal with a big-bearded guy like you."
"Not attracted? What does that mean?"
"It means I don't like you."
"Ming Zhu, you're truly blind. Let me prove to you right now how much girls love my beard."
With that, the Wizard approached a woman in her mid-twenties nearby. In just a few steps, he reached her, lightly patting her shoulder and saying something to her, pointing towards Lin Zaozao.
Then Lin Zaozao watched as the Wizard returned with the woman, named Sali'er, to face her again.
"Sali'er, tell this clueless girl whether my beard looks good or not."
The Wizard finished speaking, feeling quite handsome as he casually stroked his beard, raised his chin, and looked disdainfully at Lin Zaozao.
Under Lin Zaozao's hopeful gaze, Sali'er shyly lowered her head, nervously fidgeting with her clothes before speaking.
"Wizard is the most handsome man in my heart. Wizard, by asking me this, are you trying to become my eighteenth husband?
If you're willing, we can get married to the Wolf God right now. Don't worry, once we're married, I'll treat you well."
Listening to Sali'er's words, Lin Zaozao glanced up at the smug Wizard, curious about his response to Sali'er.
"Sali'er, I could never be with you. Aside from status, your ugly appearance doesn't match my handsome looks.
The person I'll marry can only be this—shorty!"
As the Wizard pointed, Sali'er, who was initially bashful, looked at Lin Zaozao with wide eyes.
She smiled gently at Lin Zaozao before turning her head and taking a couple of steps towards the Wizard.
In the next moment, Sali'er raised her leg and kicked towards the Wizard's groin. When her leg was blocked by the Wizard's hand, she directly reached out and grabbed it.
At that moment, amidst the Wizard's pained expression, Lin Zaozao distinctly heard the sound of eggs cracking.
In response to this scene, Lin Zaozao burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Hahaha... Sali'er, you're amazing! You're my idol, my goal to strive for, the most beautiful goddess in my heart!"
"Zaozao, thanks for the praise. Remember, there's no need to be polite with such despicable and lascivious men like him.
Also, thanks for relieving me of that burden earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the strength to teach the Wizard a lesson now!"
After thanking Lin Zaozao, Sali'er, who was originally gentle and charming, quickly reverted to her warrior-like demeanor.
She glared fiercely at the Wizard, who was looking rather pale, but applied a bit more force with her hand.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zaozao worried whether Sali'er might actually crush those two eggs in her anger.
"Wizard, dare to play with me. If you hadn't just said you were interested in me, I wouldn't have bothered praising you.
How dare you even disdain me for being ugly. If it weren't for the fact that you're a wizard and can earn more than others as a witch doctor, I could have considered you.
With that scruffy beard, even the black bear spirits in the mountains look more handsome than you. If you dare to play with me again, I'll crush you right away."
"Sali'er, I, I was wrong. Let, let go. Ouch! It hurts!"
"Oh! You know you were wrong now! Let me tell you, don't underestimate us women, especially me.
I milk cows every day, my hands are stronger than yours. If you dare to play with me again, I'll..."
"Oh... I was wrong, I was wrong. Sali'er, let go, let go. It really hurts... I'm in so much pain..."
Listening to the wizard's wailing, Lin Zaozao almost laughed until snot came out.
Wow! These women from the frontier are really to her taste. With this fearless temperament, they are truly likable.
So with Lin Zaozao cheering and applauding, Sali'er finally let go. After giving a disdainful glance at the wizard, she turned and walked towards Lin Zaozao.
"Zaozao, did you forget about me just now?"
"Ah! I..."
"It seems you did forget. That's understandable, considering you helped so many people just now, forgetting about me is normal.
Zaozao, I'm Sali'er, and I'm older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Sali'er."
"Sister Sali'er!"
Lin Zaozao said sweetly.
"Sigh!"
Sali'er patted Lin Zaozao's head affectionately, then pointed at the wizard, who was covering his groin and wailing non-stop.
"Zaozao, don't fall for this black bear spirit with indistinct features. If you like a burly man, when you have time, sister will introduce you to my younger brother.
My younger brother is even burlier than him, but much better looking. Sister guarantees you'll like him when you meet."
"Sister Sali'er, I already have nine suitors. If I have more, I won't be able to handle it."
"Just nine. Zaozao, you're so cute, it's really a waste not to have more suitors.
Only by having more suitors can your life be better. Life is really tough out here on the frontier.
If women don't have more suitors, sometimes they can't even have enough to eat. Just like Baoler from the Tuya tribe.
It's because she can't eat enough that her body is so weak."
"Sister Sali'er, thank you for your kind intentions, I understand."
"Then you guys carry on! I'll leave first."
Affectionately rubbing Lin Zaozao's head, Sali'er kicked the wizard hard before leaving with a toss of her hair, proudly.
"Wizard, how are you? Do you want me to find a urologist for you? If it's really shattered, we can find some glue to stick it back together!"
"You..."
The wizard looked at Lin Zaozao, gritting his teeth.
"The scholars from the Central Plains were right. A woman's heart is truly the most poisonous! Ouch! Oh my god! It hurts so much.
Damn Sali'er, how could she pinch me there! It's over, it's over, I'm done for!"
Listening to the wizard's wailing, Lin Zaozao's eyes were almost blinded by laughter.
Now, all she could say to the wizard was just two words.
That is, serves you right!
After Lin Zaozao finally laughed enough, the wizard finally went from lying down to sitting up. He grimaced as he held his lower abdomen and glanced at the sun above.
"I was right after all. Today, once my calamity is over, there's still a small tribulation waiting for me.
But I never expected this small tribulation to be this. Ouch... it hurts!"
"Hahaha..."
"Stop laughing..."
The wizard roared.
"Hahaha... oh my goodness! This is too hilarious. Hahaha..."
Watching the wizard, who resembled a black bear, clutching his lower abdomen in pain and gasping for air, Lin Zaozao laughed until her sides hurt.
Oh my goodness! She had just thought that the wizard was some kind of dark and brooding character! But as it turned out, he was just a quirky and funny guy.
"Ming Zhu..."
"Call me Zaozao! Hahaha... Wizard, I heard the sound of eggs breaking just now, hahaha... it's killing me!"
"Zaozao! Stop laughing, I have serious matters to discuss with you!"
"You wait a moment, let me catch my breath. Oh my goodness! My stomach hurts so much from laughing! Fan Tian, could you massage it for me? My stomach is cramping so badly, hahaha..."
Leaning against the lonely mountain, Lin Zaozao wiped away tears, clutching her stomach and moaning.
"Serves you right for laughing at others' misfortune!"
"It's okay, seeing you in pain from your cracked eggs, my stomachache doesn't seem that bad."
With Lin Zaozao slowly recovering under Fan Tian's massage, she sat up from the lonely mountain and stared at the wizard's pitch-black eyes, earnestly asking,
"Wizard, we've had our laughs and the atmosphere has relaxed, can we talk about serious matters now?
I don't believe Han Ye would ask me to save you for no reason. After all, saving you will come at a certain cost."
"Cost?"
The wizard looked at Lin Zaozao with his deep, pitch-black eyes, unable to discern his thoughts.
"Zaozao, do you really not remember your past life?"
"I don't remember. Or rather, if you guys hadn't kept mentioning it, I wouldn't even believe in the concept of past lives!"
Seeing Lin Zaozao's candid expression, the wizard visibly calmed down.
He remained silent, his eyes fixed on her as if trying to discern another person within her.
After a long while, the wizard stared at Lin Zaozao and said in a deep voice,
"Zaozao, there's someone else residing within your body, and that person is someone we all know."
"Wizard, what are you saying?"
Lin Zaozao looked at the wizard's moving lips but couldn't comprehend what he was trying to say.
Seeing Lin Zaozao's puzzled expression, the wizard placed his hand on his neck, sighing inwardly.
Perhaps Xi Luo, that little scoundrel, didn't want him to reveal it just yet!
Well, he was just a junior priest, and his priestly abilities were no match for the true high priest standing before him.
However, Xi Luo's ability to curse is something that would make everyone tremble. Just now, he automatically silenced the sound of his own voice, and no one knows if he has cursed himself in any way.
