Chapter 453 - 275: Emergence of the Exotic Beast
Two days later
The secret base was basically cleared out.
Wang Hao hadn’t seen Chen Lingxue these past two days.
She hadn’t even come back to stay.
Wang Hao was originally thinking about developing a relationship with her.
Sensitive Wang Hao instinctively sensed that something was amiss.
Logically, no matter how busy Chen Lingxue was, she should take some time to talk to him during this time.
Even if not for relationship building, she still needed those supplies, right?
And the crystal coins and Crystal Stones, they’re more needed here than at the settlement camp.
Additionally, Chen Guofu and other Chen Family members seemed less enthusiastic about him.
His strength was evident, and Chen Guofu was a successful businessman.
What about the unique characteristics of Hua Country? Or had he been abroad for too long and gotten dull?
"Brother Hao, I want to transport my share back to the settlement camp. Do you want to come and take a look with me? We can also exchange some supplies or something."
Xu Xiang visited again, smiling as he invited Wang Hao to his settlement camp.
Wang Hao hesitated a bit.
In the end, he nodded.
It’s better to go and see for yourself when purchasing supplies and stuff.
Seeing his hesitant look,
Wang Hao frowned and asked, "Is there something you want to say? Why hesitate?"
"Did you know, Emperor Wushuang wants to marry into the Chen Family, he’s planning to wed Lingxue?"
Xu Xiang asked quietly.
"What?"
Wang Hao was dumbfounded.
Emperor Wushuang wanted to marry Chen Lingxue.
How is this...?
Huh?
It seems quite possible!
"Since ancient times, the dragon and phoenix bring prosperity. Dragon and Phoenix have always been regarded as a naturally paired couple, Emperor as the dragon, Empress as the phoenix.
Emperor Wushuang possesses the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon superpower, he would naturally want to find a woman with Phoenix ability."
Xu Xiang said rather helplessly.
He also possesses a dragon-type superpower.
Though his Cyan Dragon ability is top-notch among dragon-type abilities, it’s still not comparable to the Supreme King, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
Nor is his status!
"No wonder!"
At this point, Wang Hao understood completely.
No wonder the Chen Family had cooled towards him, no wonder Chen Lingxue seemed to be avoiding him.
They’re climbing to higher branches now.
But Chen Lingxue didn’t seem like that kind of person!
"What’s Lingxue’s stance? Did she agree?"
Wang Hao frowned and asked.
"Of course, she didn’t agree, but her father, Chen Guofu, has that idea, and Lingxue is now restricted by him."
Xu Xiang sighed deeply, then added:
"Of course, his actions are merely to avoid suspicion a bit, he hasn’t immediately agreed to Emperor Wushuang, he seems to be wanting me to compete with others.
"Is he playing the rare goods tactic? Truly a businessman!"
Wang Hao sneered.
Feeling very uncomfortable.
Regarding Chen Lingxue’s looks, he wasn’t really concerned anymore.
After the apocalypse, he had seen and slept with many beautiful women.
To him, getting a pretty woman was incredibly easy.
Even here in the shelter, he could find plenty at any time.
Even if he didn’t pay, people would scramble to be in bed with him.
Anyone who had been with him could walk around here like a queen.
His interest in Chen Lingxue was to bring her back to the gathering place, as the mistress.
First, it was because of the youthful stirrings those sweet college days once held.
Second, Yueyue mentioned needing someone formidable to stabilize the scene.
Now there were so many issues mixed in.
It had somewhat shattered that pure love he held in his heart.
"Hey~~, actually, it’s not that serious."
Xu Xiang chuckled, analyzing:
"Emperor Wushuang is powerful, but he’s in the Imperial City, it’s very difficult for him to come here.
Not to mention bringing a large number of his subordinates.
If Chen Guofu married into their family, he’d have to abandon the shelter and move his whole family to the Imperial City, the risks along the way are massive, he might not leave this legacy willingly.
Our chances are very high."
Speaking of this, he slyly glanced at Wang Hao, observing his facial expression.
Actually, without Wang Hao, he could forcibly wed Chen Lingxue.
What’s Emperor Wushuang?
He’s in the north; not to mention it’s snowing heavily now, even in normal times, he couldn’t just come over.
By the time he arrives, Chen Lingxue might already be pregnant.
However, Wang Hao was here, making things a bit troublesome.
If he made a direct move, Wang Hao would definitely intervene.
"This matter is complicated. Let them consider it carefully."
Wang Hao shook his head, feeling the machinations among high society were truly a headache.
Come to think of it, ordinary people’s lives seemed better.
As long as both parties have feelings, get a house, and they’re married.
At most, they’d worry about dowry.
Unlike these wealthy people, who have to consider business, media, future development, and so on.
In the afternoon, the convoy left Xiyun Town, heading towards Xu Xiang’s settlement camp.
Wang Hao left the Charming Man and Ghost Mist Man at the shelter.
Firstly, it was for defense.
The shelter lost significant combat power after attacking the secret base, and those who survived, including Chen Lingxue, were injured.
With a large amount of supplies there, they needed combat strength to maintain order.
Secondly, it was to monitor the Chen Family.
A significant portion of the supplies there belonged to him.
Although the Chen Family dared not act rashly, it was necessary to intimidate them, extinguishing any of their thoughts completely.
