Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1044 - 1042: Pretty Girl Makes an Appointment with Jin Miaolin
After this battle, all spectators from the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan realized that the future of the Blue Golden Tree Clan should not be underestimated. Even if Tang San fails to win the battle for the throne this time, with the addition of the Ferocious Dragon Overlord, he still has the strength to challenge the Emperors. Not to mention the presence of the Tree Ancestor behind him. Unconsciously, the Blue Golden Tree Clan seems to have become a mighty race.
Tang San looked around and found that there were hardly any seats left in the restaurant, but his eyes soon lit up, catching sight of the very figure he had been hoping to see.
It was a table further inside, one that could accommodate eight diners, but now only three were dining there. The remaining seats were empty. Weren’t those the mother and daughters from the Pretty Girl household?
They also seemed to have arrived a bit late, which was why they hadn’t secured a private room. How could the White Tiger Grand Hotel fail to make such arrangements? And why weren’t they dining in one of the large upstairs rooms? Why was that?
Curious in his heart, Tang San then saw Pretty Girl seemed to have noticed his arrival and even waved at him.
Now under the identity of Jin Miaolin, Tang San was momentarily stunned, raising his hand to point at his nose?
Pretty Girl nodded at him.
Overwhelmed with joy, Tang San could not hide his excitement and quickly walked over to the table where Pretty Girl and her family were sitting.
"May I sit here?" Tang San tentatively asked.
Pretty Girl nodded at him and said, "Please take a seat, Chief Jin."
It was only then that Tang San sat down opposite her. Although Pretty Girl was still wearing a veil, she had lifted it halfway up for the meal, hanging it from her ears and revealing her delicate, rosy lips.
Tang San subconsciously glanced at them, which Pretty Girl seemed to instantly feel, and the temperature at the table dropped a few degrees. "Chief Jin, please behave," Pretty Girl said sternly.
"Oh, oh, sorry. It was subconscious," Tang San quickly averted his gaze and chuckled inwardly, having already kissed her before.
"Is City Lord Mei looking for me?" Tang San asked.
Pretty Girl gently nodded and said, "I heard that after today’s competition, the Ancestral Court agreed to Chief Jin’s proposition for nobility neutrality? I wonder what Chief Jin’s thoughts on this matter are? Although we are separated by an entire Continent, our Jiali City is still one of the main cities. So, I would like to inquire about Chief Jin’s views on neutrality first."
Tang San immediately smiled, "If City Lord Mei is willing, I could even consider marrying into Jiali City."
Pretty Girl was taken aback but, the next moment, her eyebrows were furrowed in displeasure, "Chief Jin, please be serious. I am discussing with you as the Jiali City Lord."
Tang San could feel she was suppressing her anger. If it weren’t for the importance of the life force of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, she probably wouldn’t even be willing to talk to him. Her waiting here for his arrival was surely a sign that she had received information from the White Tiger Great Demon King. What was this White Tiger Majesty planning? Was he trying to mediate the relationship between him and Pretty Girl?
"I am also telling the truth. The first time I saw City Lord Mei, I was already smitten. Please don’t get angry, City Lord Mei. I know I’m not worthy of you. While I admit I have overreaching desires, you can’t stop me from liking you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have risked coming here to participate in the battle for the throne. Everything I said comes from the bottom of my heart." Tang San spoke with an open and candid expression. Of course, what he said was true, true to Tang San’s identity as well.
Pretty Girl’s face was cold as she said, "But what I want to discuss with you is not that."
Tang San said, "I understand that City Lord Mei hopes that after my clan maintains neutrality in the future, we can better assist the Peacock Demon Clan and even the life force cultivation of Jiali City. There’s no problem with that, I can agree to it right now. I may not be able to go personally, as I expect to be kept within the Ancestral Court. But at the very least, I will dispatch a Great Demon King to Jiali City, how does that sound?"
Pretty Girl was taken aback; she really hadn’t expected "Jin Miaolin" to agree so readily. After all, she had never treated him kindly before and had clearly shown her distaste for him. But the fact that he agreed to her request so readily and even offered more than she had hoped for, clearly showed that he indeed had a liking for her.
After all, excluding Jin Miaolin himself, only the top three Elders in the Blue Golden Tree Clan are at the level of Great Demon Kings, while the rest are Demon Kings. With so many main cities and many closely related to him, it was already incredibly surprising for him to offer one Great Demon King to Jiali City, as she had only hoped to secure the help of a powerful Demon King. Of course, it would be best if it were Jin Miaolin’s younger sister, Jin Miaosen. Although Jin Miaosen is not very powerful, she is a direct bloodline descendant of the Tree Ancestor.
Therefore, hearing Jin Miaolin’s ready agreement, Pretty Girl’s expression greatly improved, and she nodded lightly, saying, "Then I must thank Chief Jin. Chief Jin hasn’t had dinner yet, right? What would you like to eat? It’s my treat."
Tang San gave a wry smile and said, "I have no particular requests; it’s already an honor for me to dine with City Lord Mei. In fact, I can tell you that in the entire Blue Golden Tree Clan, I am the only one who truly possesses the life force of the level of the Tree Ancestor. If City Lord Mei truly wishes for Jiali City to thrive, you could really consider me. Only if you marry me, could I legitimately go to Jiali City. Don’t be angry! I’m just stating a fact."
Pretty Girl replied indifferently, "Chief Jin, we can’t afford such a thing, let’s proceed as you previously suggested by inviting a Great Demon King or your younger sister. My clan will form an alliance with the Blue Golden Tree Clan in mutual support."
"Mm-hmm," Tang San nodded. Inwardly, however, he pondered whether Little Beauty was planning to bring a Blue Golden Tree Clan Elder to Crescent Island. After all, helping humans was her fundamental intent. Little did she know that this had already been his preparedness for humanity; otherwise, why propose the neutrality of the Blue Golden Tree Clan? It was precisely to legitimize the Blue Golden Tree Clan’s presence in Jiali City, in the heart of human settlements.
His participation in the competition under the identity of Jin Miaolin was also aimed at this. Ultimately, if Jin Miaolin married Pretty Girl, then the cooperation between the Blue Golden Tree Clan and Jiali City’s Peacock Demon Clan would naturally follow. Therefore, he definitely couldn’t afford the slightest exposure now.
Seeing Tang San’s humble demeanor, Pretty Girl’s icy expression melted a bit and she gave a slight nod to Tang San, saying, "Chief Jin, I apologize for my previous rudeness to you. I hope that our two clans can have better cooperation in the future."
"Of course, of course," what else could Tang San say at this point. However, this matter also served to ease the tension between "Jin Miaolin" and Pretty Girl, allowing him to have more legitimacy to be near her.
Pretty Girl took the initiative to order a few more dishes, for the first time sharing a meal with "Jin Miaolin."
On the side, the Peacock princess asked Tang San, "I heard that Chief Jin had traveled abroad for many years; have you ever visited our Jiali City?"
Tang San smiled and said, "Of course, I have visited. Initially, I swore to travel to every corner of the Continent, to find a future direction for our Blue Golden Tree Clan. I have been to Jiali City and even seen the true face of City Lord Mei, which left me utterly smitten at first sight."
Pretty Girl frowned and said, "Why are you starting this again? Can we not talk about this?"
If it weren’t for the sake of humans and Jiali City, she really wanted to get up and leave; Jin Miaolin turned out to be a hopeless romantic.
Tang San helplessly said, "Speaking from the heart, speaking from the heart. City Lord Mei, please don’t be angry, I’ll stop talking about it."
"Then, Chief Jin, what is your impression of Jiali City?" the Peacock princess continued to inquire.
Tang San replied, "It is much more prosperous than I had imagined. The nobles manage Jiali City well, which is far superior to our Jianmu City. Beyond the resources produced by our own clansmen, nothing else is noteworthy."
