Berserk God of War

Chapter 1730: Chapter 1730: Official Proposal, Name Your Bride Price

At this moment, Su Yuexi announced her relationship with Sikong Jing on the spot, and then continued to speak...

”And, what did you just guarantee, Grand Uncle? That you wouldn’t commit the same mistake against us? Was that a lie?”

”I’m from Willow Leaf Saint Manor, do you think you can handle me however you like?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Wushen’s chest exploded again; these were the promises he just made.

But now, if he strongly rebuts, he’d be slapping his own face. He felt played by the couple before him.

However, even though Ye Wushen was somewhat backing down in his heart, he wouldn’t just concede like this.

He said coldly to Sikong Jing, ”No matter what, Ye Yuexi’s marriage must be decided by me. You have no excuse or reason to do anything to our Willow Leaf Saint Manor. The war bodies of our Willow Leaf Saint Manor never marry outside their rank...”

By sticking to this principle, Ye Wushen wouldn’t lose face.

Su Yuexi declaring herself as the woman of the Soul Dominator’s Heir was useless because such major matters as marriage must require the consent of these elders.

Privately deciding for life partners was not recognized on the Central Plains.

To this, Sikong Jing didn’t immediately reveal that he and Su Yuexi were already married. He observed that Ye Wukui wasn’t present, and even if he were there, he might not necessarily recognize him...

So, Sikong Jing suddenly smiled and said, ”Then, I now formally propose marriage to Willow Leaf Saint Manor.”

With Sikong Jing’s words, everyone was stunned, directly dumbfounded.

Ye Wuyu opened her mouth, then exclaimed, ”Do you think we’re stupid? We already told you, our Willow Leaf Saint Manor women don’t marry outsiders, and now you’re proposing? Once you’re engaged, aren’t you basically claiming she’s your woman?”

Others nodded heavily, this was simply absurd, do you think the whole Willow Leaf Saint Manor are fools?

Now we still have the excuse to say Su Yuexi isn’t your woman; you have no right to rescue or retaliate. But if you propose, won’t we be at a total loss?

Facing the barrage of exclamations, Sikong Jing remained calm and said, ”The betrothal gift, you can set it as you wish...”

He insisted on the proposal, ignoring the destruction of Shitian Court or other matters, and regardless of the brilliant young war body of Willow Leaf Saint Manor marrying outside, responding only with this sentence.

And as these words fell, Ye Wushen’s heart stirred wildly.

He suddenly understood that the Soul Dominator’s Heir was prepared to pay some price, but in the form of a betrothal gift.

As long as they agreed to marry off Su Yuexi to him, Willow Leaf Saint Manor could demand excessively.

But Ye Wuyu couldn’t comprehend this, continuing, ”Betrothal gift? Can’t you understand human speech, Ye Yuexi doesn’t marry outside.”

Her words immediately caused the eyes of many in the audience to flicker with hostility, truly thinking Willow Leaf Saint Manor was easy to bully?

This Soul Dominator’s Heir surely isn’t foolish but arrogant.

Even so, Sikong Jing continued to ignore Ye Wuyu and the others, remaining fixed on Ye Wushen...

”Lord Ye, you should think carefully.”

”You could kill me and then face a devastating strike from Overlord Commerce, or you could capture me alive and bargain with my Overlord Commerce... But how much benefit would you gain from rescuing my woman?”

Though a private pledge isn’t acknowledged, Overlord Commerce could still pressure Willow Leaf Saint Manor at the negotiation table, knowing that Su Yuexi has acknowledged herself as Sikong Jing’s woman, and it’s impossible not to gain benefits.

”Of course, you could now send troops and slaughter my Batian Branch as an outlet for anger, but is it worth it?”

Sikong Jing’s voice resounded clearly throughout Willow Leaf Saint Manor, then it was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone’s head.

According to what the Soul Dominator’s Heir said, Willow Leaf Saint Manor wouldn’t gain a bit of advantage.

This is still because...

The Soul Dominator’s Heir is a peerless Sacred Body, also because they are substantially weaker than Overlord Commerce, plus the issue of Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array. If they can’t acquire it soon, it would have significant impact.

Ye Wushen thought and thought, his chest heaving continuously.

Finally, he hoarsely said, ”Still impossible, how could I let my Shitian Court be razed, yet still have Willow Leaf Saint Manor’s daughter marry you?”

His voice exerted all its strength, in fact, he was tempted, but face wouldn’t allow it.

They’d be ridiculed by the whole world...

Of course, Sikong Jing could see Ye Wushen’s struggle, and smiled again, ”Razing it was because Liu Shitian made mistakes first. You’re defending your niece, who dares to laugh at that?”

”Isn’t Yue Xi your family’s junior, and defending her by confronting Liu Shitian completely reasonable?”

As these words fell, the entire Ye Family was shocked, realizing the logic.

They had not realized that Ye Yuexi was actually one of their juniors, always treating them as outsiders.

It was still Sikong Jing first forcing Ye Wushen to publicly admit fault, allowing Ye Wushen a reason to compromise without being laughed at...

Of course, this was good for the Ye Family, but extremely harmful to the Liu Family.

Thus, led by Liu Shizeng, the faces of the Liu family turned sharply, each one glaring at Sikong Jing...

The Ye family could use this excuse to regain face, but what about the Liu family?

This was sacrificing the Liu family’s face and interests.

With Liu Shizeng’s gaze, Ye Wushen also understood, struggling internally.

Agreeing with the Soul Dominator’s Heir would offend Liu Shizeng and be detrimental to the unity of Willow Leaf Saint Manor. But if not agreeing, perhaps nothing could be done against the Soul Dominator’s Heir, at least surely not more beneficial than the betrothal gift.

It became really difficult.

Finally, Liu Shizeng coldly said, ”You can set the betrothal gift... Fine, can you offer the Qianyuan Soldier Fragment as the betrothal gift?”

Liu Shizeng knew Ye Wushen was tempted, but he was considering the Liu family rather than the whole Willow Leaf Saint Manor and thus didn’t want to compromise. So he came up with a strategy to trouble Sikong Jing with the betrothal gift.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wushen’s spirit jolted, staring directly at Sikong Jing. After all, Overlord Commerce did possess two pieces of Qianyuan Soldier Fragment.

But the Soul Dominator’s Heir couldn’t possibly offer this as a betrothal gift, and as long as he couldn’t, to marry Su Yuexi he must pay another price, at least a price making the whole Willow Leaf Saint Manor able to maintain face.

For instance, having Overlord Commerce publicly apologize, then execute several key figures, or such.

But at this moment, Ye Wuzhi stepped forward and said, ”Isn’t this being intentionally difficult? How is it different from refusal?”

Yet Sikong Jing quietly gazed at Liu Shizeng...

In fact, this demand was within his expectation, so he merely opened his mouth calmly, ”I can offer part of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map developed and derived by our Overlord Commerce as a betrothal gift.”

As these words fell, once again the venue fell into silence.

Ye Wushen suddenly raised his head again, this betrothal gift was something he found hard to resist; it was truly awesome stuff.

His heart was moved, Ye Wushen was completely tempted to the extreme.

At the same time, Liu Shizeng was also at a loss for words, ultimately shouting, ”Who knows how much you’ve researched?”

Shrugging, Sikong Jing replied, ”Surely much more than you have.”

What he had to do now was offer something Ye Wushen couldn’t refuse. Sikong Jing planned first to ensure the safety and status of Su Yuexi and her family in Willow Leaf Saint Manor before dealing with other matters.
