"Miss, the hot water has been delivered."

While Lin Bai and Sun Yao were chatting in the house, they heard the voice of the maid outside the door.

Sun Yao smiled and walked over to open the door and asked the maid to place the barrel and hot water in the room.

"What is this for?"

Lin Bai lay on the bed and asked sideways.

Sun Yao came over with a smile and said: "I saw that there were a lot of dirt on your husband's body, and it seemed that he hadn't washed himself for many days, so he ordered someone to bring a hot water bucket for him to wash up."

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "How can I wash myself when I'm like this?"

His limbs were dead, and his Dantian and Shendan had not yet recovered. Lin Bai didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone wash up.

But what Sun Yao said was right. After Lin Bai drifted down the Xianshi River, he was thrown into the Yongye Mountain for half a year. His whole body was already full of stench. If it weren't for people close to him like Sun Yao and Zhou Xi, I'm afraid other people would People are ashamed to get close.

"Then let the little girl wash up for her husband."

Sun Yao held a clean handkerchief, lowered her head shyly, and said shyly.

"Let Zhou Xi come..."

Lin Bai was heartbroken and said hurriedly.

Sun Yao frowned and asked: "Why? Husband, are you afraid that I won't be able to serve others? Husband, please rest assured. Although I am the eldest daughter of the Sun family in Zhanshan City, I have been refining elixirs, refining weapons, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and poetry and singing since I was a child. Fu, besides washing up is not difficult."

Lin Bai whispered: "Sun Yao, what I just said is very clear. Don't you understand? Qingshui City was destroyed, and I, a fugitive, came to Zhanshan City to take refuge. I am no longer the same person as before. The high-spirited Qingshui City genius is not alone in his power or cultivation."

"Whether the engagement between you and me can come true is still a question!"

"So, for the sake of your innocent reputation, let Zhou Xi come."

Sun Yao twisted the handkerchief in her hands and stood there with some pain in her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she raised her head and smiled, but there was a hint of loneliness in her smile: "I don't want to have such a clean reputation. Anyway, I am born to beheaded." In the Sun family of Shancheng, it is not up to me to decide who I want to like or who I want to marry."

"Since my husband still can't let go, I'll call Zhou Xi."

After saying that, Sun Yao bowed, turned around and walked out of the room.

Not long after, Zhou Xi walked into the room, walked quickly to Lin Bai, looked around with a sly look, and asked cautiously: "Senior, are you being treacherous?"

Lin Bai shook his head and said: "This Miss Sun Yao is kind-hearted by nature, not scheming, and did not use the opportunity to make excuses. She seems to completely believe that I am Qingluo from Qingshui City."

Zhou Xi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Both he and Lin Bai were worried that Sun Yao was following his father's orders and taking care of Lin Bai's life to trick Lin Bai.

"I have difficulty moving now. Could you please help me wash up?"

While Zhou Xi was helping Lin Bai wash up, Lin Bai asked again: "Sun Yao is the eldest daughter of the Sun family of Zhanshan City, and she is also the eldest daughter of the city lord of Zhanshan City. Logically speaking, she should have aspirations for the world and reach for the stars. That's right, but why do I find that Sun Yao doesn't seem to have such great ambitions and ambitions?"

Coming out of Mangu Continent, Lin Bai had met many women, such as Bai Xiaoxiao, Jian Ruohan, Lan Yuxin, etc. They all had their own extraordinary and lofty ideals, but as the eldest daughter of the Sun family of Zhanshan City, , but Lin Bai did not see these things in Sun Yao.

You know, in this world of tigers and wolves, if you just want to be a bird trapped in a cage, that is not a good idea.

Zhou Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Senior, you don't know something. In this demon world, survival is difficult, even for ordinary people, let alone such a huge city as Zhanshan City."

"Cultivation in the demon world is extremely cruel. For a large city like Zhanshan City, if there is no invasion from foreign enemies, you need to always be on guard against being devoured by other nearby cities and the Zhulong Sect."

"Therefore, in order to consolidate their status, many big families in the city will choose to marry."

"For example, the engagement between Sun Yao and Qing Luo."

"Senior should have guessed that the lord of Zhanshan City, the Sun family, and even Sun Yao have never met Qing Luo, but they have already made a marriage contract and accepted the betrothal gift, and this time Sun When Yao saw you, she kept calling you husband."

"People like Sun Yao, who are used as marriage tools by their families and cities, are everywhere in the demon world."

"Sun Yao is relatively lucky. At least she is married to Qing Luo as his wife. Unlike other women from other families, those who are unlucky can only be concubines. If their lives are even worse, they can only be cauldrons... …”

Lin Bai whispered: "The Lord of Zhanshan City is so willing to give up? Sun Yao is his eldest daughter after all."

Zhou Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Even if City Master Zhanshan is reluctant, the Sun Elders' Association will ask for it. After all, City Master Zhanshan is not only the city lord, he is also the head of the Sun family, and he must consider the future of the Sun family. "

"Of course, not all women in the family can escape the bad luck of marriage. Some women discover that they have extraordinary talents after awakening their martial arts spirits. Then they can speak for themselves."

"Women with talent and potential will be trained by the family and all resources will be devoted to them. They also have the right to choose their own love and marriage."

"But if there are women without talent and potential, most of them will not escape the fate of marriage!"

"Like Sun Yao, when she awakened her martial spirit, she only had a first-grade heaven-level martial spirit. Among her peers in the Sun family, she was considered very poor. From that moment on, she could no longer decide her fate."

"I learned about the Sun family before. When the direct disciples of the Sun family awaken their martial arts souls, those with outstanding talents will be trained by the family with all their resources. Those with insufficient talents will be taught to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry, and alchemy and weapon refining. Wait for miscellaneous studies."

"Senior, you should understand by now that playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry are just for fun."

"So seniors, don't think that Sun Yao, the eldest daughter of the Sun family, should be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. On the contrary, they may not even be inferior to many ordinary women."

After hearing Zhou Xi's words, Lin Bai leaned against the barrel and sighed.

I thought that after leaving the Mangu Continent, Lin Bai would see a magnificent world of martial arts.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in the Demon Realm, Lin Bai was surprised to find that... this place was more cruel and competitive than the ancient continent.

A strong person is like a dragon in the sky, traveling across the nine heavens and ten earths.

The weak are like grass and grass on the roadside, allowing others to bully and trample on them.

"Even if the senior is like this now, Zhanshan City will not think that the senior is of no use and withdraw the engagement between you and Sun Yao, but Sun Yao will be arranged to marry someone else immediately... Maybe Sun Yao will marry someone in the future. It is better for people who have lost all their limbs to follow this senior person."

When Zhou Xi said this, he also showed deep sadness and lamented the injustice of this world.
