Chapter 810: Changed Times

Jiang Wuwo naturally wanted to profit more now that it was impossible to cancle the marriage.

The Quasi Relics were one kind of gain, Mystical Materials were another but compared to Jiang Qiling, they were not nearly enough.

Jiang Qiling was the future chosen warrior for the human kind. When she soared up, she would bring benefits to the Jiang Family’s development. But that was what the Jiang Family deserved. Lu Family must pay enough for Lu Li to marriage a future chosen warrior into their family.

It would not bear much meaning for Jiang Wuwo to obtain a larger quantity of Mystical Materials because they would run out some day. To gain long-term advantage, Jiang Qiling’s status in the Lu Family must be guaranteed.

Therefore, Jiang Wuwo stated, “We will talk about kids in the future. Now, let us focus on Jiang Qiling. Lu Li, I heard that you were going to marry two people at the same time and both would be your principle wives? Do you think… that is suitable? Qiling is our Family Patriarch and the future chosen warrior. How will people think of the Jiang Family when they know that she is a wife that is no different from your other wife?”

Even though Lu Li had anticipated Jiang Wuwo would pose difficult issues, he did not foresee that Jiang Wuwo would embarrass him with this matter.

Lu Li felt it troublesome. Status-wise, Bai Qiuxue was indeed inferior to Jiang Qiling. Bai Qiuxue was merely a young lady from a small family of the Northern Desert while Jiang Qiling was a Family Patriarch. There was a world of difference.

However, to Lu Li, Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue were equals. They were both his beloved women. Lu Li would never agree to make one of them the principle wife and the other one the concubine.

After a moment, Lu Li stood up. “Uncle Jiang, I am sorry. As a matter of fact, I am not marrying two at the same time but three. I will marry Bai Qiuxue’s twin sister Bai Xiashuang as well. As for the status of them, to me, they are all equals. Uncle Jiang, we shall move on from this matter. If you have other requirements, name them. As long as it is within my capacity, I will meet them all.” He said.

“What~”

Lu Li’s words sent people into a shocked state. He was being so tough, leaving no room for the Jiang Family to say otherwise. Jiang Family was already feeling disgraced that Lu Li was marrying two at the same time. But he was actually going to marry three wives all at once? What was more, the three were all principle wives. Delivering the news in such a tough way was practically a slap on Jiang Wuwo’s face!

“Hmm, requirements, how dare I say I have requirements?”

Jiang Wuwo was quaking with rage. Standing up, he glared at Lu Li and said, “See our visitors out!”

Some patriarchs of the Jiang Family almost lost their minds. If Jiang Wuwo really sent Lu Renhuang out, Jiang Qiling would flip out immediately. In that case, Jiang Qiling would elope with Lu Li, which would mean the loss of both her and the wealth for the Jiang Family.

Lu Renhuang smiled, not worried. On the other handPatriarch Eight could not remain calm. He stood up at once and said, “Master Jiang, don’t be offended. We can talk this out. Lu Li, can’t you be just nicer?”

Finally, Lu Renhuang started to talk. Glaring at Lu Li, he pretended to scold him, “Lu Li, this is how you speak to a senior? Apologize to your Uncle Jiang right now. Alas, Wuwo, think about your age. Don’t let a young person irritate you. Times have changed and we don’t have to worry about our children. We are discussing it, aren’t we? Let’s calm down and talk it out.”

Lu Li stood up at once and bowed. “Uncle Jiang, I am sorry about my attitude. Please forgive me,” said Lu Li.

Lu Li and Lu Renhuang were echoing each other. Hearing this, Jiang Wuwo pulled a long face. Lu Renhuang and Lu Li had said all the polite words but they did not make any concessions. They were apologizing but they were also telling Jiang Wuwo in a wordless way that—this was the bottom line and you had to talk whether you liked it or not…

Patriarchs of the Jiang Family were frustrated and upset. But what could they do? In the old days, Lu Li was nothing more than a puny bug and they could crush him all they wanted. But now, Lu Li could do all he wanted to the Jiang Family.

During the battle at the Samsara City, the Jiang Family had completely offended the Deputy Master and a number of other forces. The Jiang Family would be wiped out if they did not cling onto Lu Li’s force tightly.

The times had changed!

The patriarchs reasoned and persuaded Jiang Wuwo to calm him down. Of course, some patriarchs took the chance and scolded Lu Li. They must make the best of it and enjoy this powerful feeling. Nobody would dare to condemn Lu Li again in the future when he unified the Great Land.

“Then you talk it out. I don’t care!”

Jiang Wuwo still felt too disgraced. He gave Jiang Nijun a glance and signaled him to demand a large sum from the Lu Family. Afterwards, Jiang Wuwo left.

Lu Renhuang told Lu Li, “You go and check on Jiang Qiling. We will handle the discussions here.”

Lu Li was too stubborn for negotiations. By leaving, Jiang Wuwo had given a silent consent to Lu Li’s bottom line and made compromises. Lu Renhuang could continue with talk with the Jiang Family from this point on.

“Okay!”

Lu Li was not a fan of such negotiations. He felt it like a trade fair where sons and daughters were the merchandize. He went out on his own and walked toward Jiang Qiling’s yard with Jiang Hong showing him the way.

As soon as Jiang Wuwo and Lu Li left, the atmosphere and mood of the negotiation changed. On behalf of the Jiang Family, Jiang Nijun started to demand an exorbitant price and named many terms.

Jiang Nijun was able to put forward those demands without much thinking. It was evident that the Jiang Family had had internal discussions many times and was prepared for blackmailing the Lu Family.

Lu Renhuang and Patriarch Eight had seen this coming. Anywhere they could make compromises, they would but on the fronts that they could not concede, they held their lines.

Lu Renhuang was confident because the Lu Family could contend with the Demon-slaying Hall. Jiang Family had to depend on the Lu Family. This was the source of confidence for the Lu Family.

Besides, there was Jiang Qiling’s character to be taken into account. Jiang Family were afraid to go too far. Jiang Family could be tough all they wanted but the marriage was happening either way.

Of course, if the Lu Family also valued their honor and this negotiation went into difficulties, the Jiang Family might not send guests to the wedding, which would disgrace Lu Family.

Lu Renhuang painted many beautiful pictures for the Jiang Family. For instance, when the Lu Family unified the Great Land, the Jiang Family could have any one of the Northern Land of Barbarians, Western Land of Feathers, Southern Land of Voodoos and the Eastern Land of Oceans. Jiang Family could settle there, develop and grow stronger…

All the offers were enticing, and they were very likely to become the reality. But this was only a pie in the sky. What was more, those four lands were wasted and barren. The Great Land was the center of the Heaven Reverse Universe. Jiang Family had been at the Central Plains for years and they did not care for any one of the four lands.

The haggling went on from the morning till the night and finally everything was settled. The final offer was presented to Jiang Wuwo. He was not entirely satisfied but he had to accept it.

Three Quasi Relics turned into six. Lu Li did not mind it since he had many of them. The amount of Mystical Materials doubled. There was an addition of some ancient skills and other promises like the Lu Family would let the Jiang Family have one of the four lands after unification of the Heaven Reverse Universe. It was a fruitful result for the Jiang Family.

Lu Li was in Jiang Qiling’s yard, drinking tea. Patriarch Eight came over to inform Lu Li of the result of the negotiation. After all, Lu Li had to give permission to provide the Quasi Relics and the Mystic Materials.

“Six Quasi Relics? And so many Mystical Materials? So many terms? They have definitely sold me for a good price…”

A coldness climbed over Jiang Qiling’s pretty face. Her eyebrows raised and she was about to flip out. Taking her hand, Lu Li said, “You are the daughter in the Jiang Family. You have not married and now you are already not taking their side. Uncle Jiang and your family are not asking for too much. I will not hesitate one moment even if they asked for times more, let alone those little things. After all… what I am marrying is an invaluable asset of the Jiang Family!”

Jiang Qiling beamed with delight on hearing Lu Li’s words. As soon as Patriarch Eight left, she threw herself into Lu Li’s arms like a clingy kitten. With a wicked grin, she said, “Lu Li, don’t try to fool me with a few pleasant words. So, tell me… what is the deal with Bai Xiashuang? You are going to marry Bai Qiuxue but you have to have her sister as well? Are you going to take Madam Yan at the same time as well? You sure know how to have a good time…”

Jiang Qiling’s smile was sweet but her tone make Lu Li feel chilly on his back. He forced a smile. It was true that polygamy was not for all guys.
