Chapter 1869 - 1462: Relying on Trickery to Secure the Engagement!

With the elegance of Qiwowen Du, it’s not even in the same art style!

No wonder my wife can so confidently destroy people tirelessly while fooling them!

Gu Changsheng naturally noticed Yuan Bao’s hesitant expression, and her warning look was like a knife, throwing it right at him.

Damn it, Gu Changsheng guarantees that if Yuan Bao dares to undermine her, she would definitely take him down!

Speaking of the people around Gu Changsheng, there are countless beauties, but this Diao Chan is simply a heartache for Gu Changsheng!

Diao Chan’s abilities are undoubtedly unquestionable. Before Gu Changsheng snatched people, she was already the personal guard of our evildoer, and followed me, her ability elevated even further, there’s truly no exaggeration in this!

However, the key issue is that our Diao Chan’s appearance is not quite appealing!

Being by my side, amidst a crowd of handsome as clouds and beauties aplenty, our Diao Chan is the odd one out, utterly unique!

Gu Changsheng has always worried that our Diao Chan won’t get married off, constantly pondering, if all else fails, she’ll snatch a husband back for her.

But today, hasn’t someone just delivered themselves to our doorstep?

Snatching marriage isn’t really great, cheating for marriage is actually better!

Pah!

Gu Changsheng spat at herself, what cheating for marriage? She was just telling the truth!

Even as Gu Changsheng enthusiastically praised Diao Chan with a basket full of good words, her intentions were too obvious, even Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue on the spiral staircase couldn’t help but look back, glancing at her in surprise and uncertainty...

"What exactly is she doing?" Shi Wujue raised an eyebrow, slightly frowning.

"Promoting Diao Chan." Zhou Mu responded simply and straightforwardly.

Shi Wujue had naturally seen Diao Chan before, but with Diao Chan’s flamboyant looks, Shi Wujue felt that using the phrase "looks just passable" would really be misleading!

"She really dares..." Shi Wujue shook his head.

"She’s always been bold, there’s nothing she wouldn’t dare!" Zhou Mu’s lips curved up slightly, silently smiling.

At this moment, Gu Changsheng took a deep breath, ended her sales pitch on Diao Chan, and concluded, "That’s the general situation, Diao Chan is the number one talent around me. If I hadn’t seen your sincerity, I wouldn’t even have mentioned her to you."

"Is she really that amazing!" Qiwowen Du had stars in his eyes.

"Really!" Gu Changsheng nodded confidently, truly no words to describe our Diao Chan’s abilities.

"I’ll marry, I’ll marry, I’ll marry, once I have a wife who can bear weight and carry loads, I can be a hands-off shopkeeper." Qiwowen Du immediately pounded his chest, speaking joyfully.

"But..." Gu Changsheng looked at Qiwowen Du this way, with a troubled expression on her face, pretending to hesitate, "But my Diao Chan doesn’t look too good..."

"What good is it to look nice? I’ve got the looks, it’s enough! If she’s not pretty, I can make up for it! That’s called complementing each other! Complementing!" Qiwowen Du replied immediately, his face full of pride and expectation.

Rumor has it that the women around Southern Emperor Changsheng are all beautiful. If she says someone doesn’t look good, that just means she’s not the top among the beauties, how bad could it be?

Southern Emperor Changsheng is famous for loving beauties. If someone is ugly, they wouldn’t stay by her side, let alone be a personal attendant.

After seeing the beauty of Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, Qiwowen Du was convinced, so in his heart, Diao Chan’s looks must just be not as beautiful as them, but still of top quality.

"You really don’t mind?" Gu Changsheng raised her eyebrows, a leisurely expression on her face, asking.

"I don’t mind, I don’t mind. Where else can you find a wife who is both scholarly and martial? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Qiwowen Du waved his hand, very boldly.

"Words alone are not enough..." Gu Changsheng uttered three words faintly.

"Let the token be the proof. I, Qiwowen Du, have decided on your Diao Chan!" Qiwowen Du said, as he took off a jade pendant from around his neck.

It was a piece of Male and Female Matched Jades. Qiwowen Du fiddled with it in various ways and took out the small jade nestled inside the matched jade, extending it toward Gu Changsheng.

"Young Master, that is the token of the Nomadic Department Matriarch!" One of Qiwowen Du’s guards was shocked, wanting to stop his Young Master’s hasty action, but under Gu Changsheng’s dangerous gaze, his feet couldn’t move an inch.

Gu Changsheng squinted slightly, the hidden glint in her eyes like an old fox, looking at the jade extended before her with difficulty. She actually wanted to say, this small jade was too small and didn’t quite match her free-spirited Diao Chan. If she could get the larger piece of jade, that would be the best.

However, Gu Changsheng hesitated a few times and ultimately didn’t voice this suggestion. He just looked at Qiwowen Du, frowned, and said, "But my Diao Chan really doesn’t look that impressive..."

"I’ve already said I don’t mind. If I want a beauty, I can just look at myself!" Qiwowen Du thought Gu Changsheng was rejecting the offer and pushed the jade pendant forward again.

"Alright, I’ve already made it clear. Today, if you arrange for my Diao Chan, and in the future, you dare to break the engagement because of looks, Qiwowen Du, my people are not to be trifled with. This marriage is something I’m safeguarding; once it’s set, there’s no room for regret!" Gu Changsheng looked at Qiwowen Du and said seriously, "Or, do you want to reconsider?"

"What’s there to reconsider? A gentleman’s promise is worth a thousand gold, and there’s no reason to go back on it halfway. A Great General by the Southern Emperor’s side is quite a rare treasure! Missing this opportunity and there won’t be another!" Qiwowen Du was very keen, and pushed the jade pendant forward again.

Upon hearing Qiwowen Du’s words, Gu Changsheng laughed like a cat that had just stolen cream.

This trip to the Star Innate Tower came at a good time. Although she hadn’t yet met that bastard Ta You, it settled a matter weighing on her heart!

The lifetime happiness of her Diao Chan was finally taken care of, and she no longer needed to worry about having to help Diao Chan fight for a husband!

Haha!

She eagerly accepted the jade pendant, placed it into her pocket, patted it contentedly, thought for a moment, and then rummaged through her belongings, finally removing a piece of Blood Jade from her waist, which she handed to Qiwowen Du. "Since I’ve arranged the marriage between you and Diao Chan, I naturally can’t offer nothing. This is one of the Supreme Treasures of the Southern Border, the Basalt Jade. Consider it both a betrothal token and part of Diao Chan’s dowry. Keep it safe."

The moment Qiwowen Du held the Basalt Jade, he felt its fiery magnificence and instantly recognized that Gu Changsheng wasn’t lying. This Basalt Jade was truly one of the treasures of the Southern Border!

A treasure from the Southern Border, something many yearn for but can’t obtain!

Qiwowen Du was immediately overjoyed!

Securing a capable wife, especially one favored by Southern Emperor Changsheng, Qiwowen Du could already foresee a bright and glorious future for the Nomadic Tribe, and as its future master, with a competent wife by his side, he could indulge in a life of luxury and relaxation!

It seems perfect just thinking about it!

Gu Changsheng looked at Qiwowen Du’s smug expression and shook her head with sympathy.

However, she thought that although her Diao Chan and Qiwowen Du were quite different in terms of demeanor, just as Qiwowen Du himself said, they complement each other well!

"Dear, why did you give away the Basalt Jade? That’s a treasure." Yuan Bao said, leaning in a bit closer to his wife, whispering.

"If you don’t shed some blood, how can you finalize the engagement and leave Qiwowen Du without any room for regret?" Gu Changsheng whispered to Yuan Bao. "Think of our Diao Chan. She’s so bold; we can’t just watch her remain single, can we? You can’t catch wolves without risking the lambs. It’s just a piece of Basalt Jade; in exchange for a Nomadic Tribe and settling Diao Chan’s lifelong matter, it’s a deal where we only profit!"

"Dear... you’re wise!" Yuan Bao suddenly didn’t know how to describe his wife, so he just gave Gu Changsheng a thumbs up, looking in awe.

If Diao Chan became the Matriarch of the Nomadic Tribe, what would that be like?

Yuan Bao couldn’t imagine!

Yuan Bao thought his wife was truly too wicked, having tricked Qiwowen Du into securing the engagement and exchanging tokens!

Now that the Basalt Jade has been given, even if Qiwowen Du later doesn’t fancy Diao Chan and wants to return it, it’ll be tough!

The things his wife sends out aren’t so easy to take back!

What a pity for Qiwowen Du. Who knows if our Diao Chan, the Great General, will be a blessing you can actually handle...

"Come take a look at the dowry of your future Matriarch. Isn’t it a treasure? Diao Chan, Diao Chan, such a beautiful name!" Qiwowen Du showed off the Basalt Jade to his two guards.

Gu Changsheng watched his naive and simple demeanor, touched her nose, and sidled up to her evildoer.

Curling up the spiral staircase, Zhou Mu squatted on the steps, prying at an embedded Luminous Pearl, with Shi Wujue behind him, half-supporting a sack.

"Hey, evildoer, I’ve promised Diao Chan to someone, at the cost of a piece of Basalt Jade." In the narrow stairway, Gu Changsheng leaned forward, whispering to her evildoer.

Shi Wujue, upon hearing this, immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.

"My love has done splendidly." Zhou Mu turned back, giving his little woman a gentle smile, full of doting affection, then extended his hand with a smile, "Hand over the betrothal token."

"Why should I give it to you?" Gu Changsheng instantly covered her sleeve, took a step back, and looked at her evildoer with vigilance. "I exchanged it with the Basalt Jade; you can’t steal my credit. I’m still waiting to go back and see Diao Chan grateful and moved!"

Zhou Mu watched as Gu Changsheng stepped back, stood up from the steps, slightly shifted his body, and leaped over Shi Wujue...
