Chapter 1650: Chapter 1271: The Golden Flower Is Not My Wish! A Brief Reunion!
Since when did the village chief become so modest?
But who can endure such modesty?
He Lingyue, who always prided herself on her unique talents, couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart from Jiang Dali’s casual remark. She felt dejected like she’d suffered a heart attack and could not utter another word as she accompanied her elder sister, watching Jiang Dali, surrounded by the crowd, chatting and laughing, then entering a room to sit and catch up.
This brief catch-up after his return continued for a good half-day. Ultimately, Jiang Dali politely declined He Lingxu’s overtly affectionate invitation to dinner. After handling some official matters, he then accompanied Wanwan and others on a mountain tour for drinks. His choice, whatever it implied, was surely clear to the clever He Lingxu.
...
"The He family sisters, one prettier than the other. The elder one is elegant and virtuous, with deep affection for you, the village chief. The younger, though mischievous, is also clever and can be slowly guided. The main thing is even the head of the He family has promised to pair one of them with you. Tsk tsk, how could you be so ruthless to refuse this?"
Could it be that you want to bide your time and go for both at once? That would indeed align with your style and appetite."
Inside the Observation Tower on the mountain, Wanwan teasingly and flirtatiously approached Jiang Dali, naturally sitting beside him and extended a slender hand under a thin silk garment, plucked a grape from a fruit platter, and offered it to Jiang Dali’s lips with a smile.
Jiang Dali snorted coldly and aggressively bit into the grape, nearly biting off Wanwan’s finger as she tried to dodge, angrily saying, "Wanwan, you really don’t understand the style of your village chief? How dare you use this to jab at me?"
If it weren’t for you stirring up trouble in Black Wind Village these two days, why would the He family eldest daughter act so impatiently?"
Wanwan pretended to be frightened by Jiang Dali’s rebuke, hurriedly stood up, and bowed slightly, saying, "Village chief! If you think I made a mistake, I won’t argue. I’ll let you punish me however you see fit."
Speaking, Wanwan leaned slightly forward, presenting her enchanting figure before Jiang Dali. Her slender, charming face also hung with a bit of grievance and self-pity, gently swaying her delicate body.
"Village chief? How do you wish to punish me?"
Such a scene was enough to make any man in the world feel excited, even a strong-willed man like Jiang Dali felt his abdomen heated. He cursed in his heart, "She’s quite the demoness," and with his fan-like palm, he swung it sharply without restraint.
"Smack!"
Nearby, Wang Yuyan and Murong Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh.
Wanwan cried out in pain, muttered a curse under her breath, and covered her rear as she backed away. Her eyebrows furrowed in pain, unsure whether to sit or stand, her face showing more grievance, her eyes filled with a watery layer, with a hint of urging impulse.
"Village chief! Your strength is too much for Wanwan to bear. Next time, don’t slap randomly! Nearby... nearby are a few youngsters watching."
Wang Yuyan gracefully walked near Jiang Dali, softly speaking to plead for Wanwan, she then glanced at the few Mountain Village Players guarding afar.
This look happened just as their eyes met those players who were secretly watching, making her charming face flush red in an instant.
Jiang Dali thundered in a deep voice, "Which brat dares to peer, scoop out your own eyeballs and eat them! Back off, all of you!"
Several players promptly withdrew their gaze and their drooling, retreating like bees, but their hearts still beat fiercely, their minds replaying the astonishingly bouncy curves created by Jiang Dali’s slap. They thought, "The third lady is so fierce, if ever a video can be captured of our fierce, domineering village chief clashing hard with the third lady, this player career would be at its peak; everyone would admire, life without regrets."
Inside the Observation Tower, after the players retreated, Jiang Dali discussed the He family’s master’s cooperation intent and his guesses with the three ladies, then shook his head, reassuring the three women.
"I haven’t met that Jin Wudi from the He family yet, but him marrying his daughter to me for alliance is considered by anyone as good fortune for me, Jiang Dali, as it’s the He family’s investment in me.
If Black Wind Village receives the He family’s support, in the future, we’d definitely make a mark in the Holy Dynasty, as money moves mountains.
But such cooperation doesn’t necessarily require such close marriage ties. Not to mention that He Lingyue doesn’t match my taste; even if she did, what their family master aims to leverage my power for is still unclear."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan couldn’t help but knit her delicate brows in thought, even her smooth, lovely forehead showing a few light ripples under contemplation, saying, "Village chief, now that you mention it, indeed, one can’t be too trusting. But didn’t you say they gave you an Emperor’s Secret Key? Aren’t they hoping you would accompany to explore the Holy Emperor’s Treasure Vault in the future? Perhaps this is why the He family master is betting on you."
"Xiao Wang, your vision is still shallow, seems when I go to the Holy Dynasty, I should take you to broaden your horizons."
Jiang Dali chuckled, not minding Wang Yuyan’s delight after hearing this, continued, "Know that the He family gave me numerous gifts this time, all are precious treasures in the Holy Dynasty. Especially the Emperor’s Secret Key, rare, only fifty keys exist, each represents a spot to access the vault.
I believe even pulling out one can attract some Returning to Truth level-9 experts willing to serve, why invest such a treasure in me, only at Returning to Truth level-6 then?
So I believe the He family has other motives, their usual tactics are lavish spending to overwhelm one’s thinking ability and then get them to serve out of excitement.
But though this village chief may be physically robust, the muscles in my brain are smart, not easily carried away."
Murong Qingqing, who had been listening quietly, chuckled, covering her mouth, looking at Jiang Dali with a soft voice, "Knowing you for so long, this is the first time I’ve seen you so amusing, but you’re right, although you appear strong, you’re really quite intelligent, many in the Martial World are fooled by your looks, played by your hand."
"Humph!"
Wanwan, having relieved her pain, stretched a seductive lazy stretch, saying, "Indeed, indeed. Many are fooled by his looks in the Martial World, including us three silly girls, although, playing with us... that...
Seeing Jiang Dali raising that detestable large palm again, Wanwan giggled and darted to the table like a breeze, grabbing a piece of plum cake to her plump lips, took a gentle bite with her white little teeth, muttering.
"Ooh! No more talking! My mouth’s stuffed!"
