C964 Meet the Saintess(2)
Hearing this, saintess's delicate body suddenly paused and her eyes revealed a trace of joy as she said," You really... Are you willing to give the Phoenix Jade to my brother? "
"Yes, perhaps you all think very highly of the Phoenix Jade. But I don't care." Fann Binn spoke bluntly, "The brilliance of the outside world is not something that the people of Five Dragons Clan, who have been living in the deep mountains for a long time, can understand. Compared to the colorful world outside, the Five Dragons Clan has no interest in me at all. "
"Humph, are you belittling the Five Dragons Clan?" saintess revealed an unfriendly expression and said proudly, "There are mountains and rivers in the Five Dragons Clan, powerful warriors and beautiful women. They are the leaders of all the races in the mountain. Can't you be moved by this? If the Five Dragons Clan could rule the entire mountain, the outside world would be the best. However, there are dangers everywhere. Most of the people are insidious and cunning. Why isn't it better than the outside world?"
"That is only a one-sided word from your ancestors. I know that your ancestors must have fled into the mountains for some reason. They lied because they were afraid that you would want to leave! " Fann Binn sneered and said, "The world is more than ten million miles long. The outside world is now a high-tech era. The difference between the world you live in and the one you live in is like heaven and earth. "
"High... technology?" saintess clearly had never heard of such a term and could not help but be somewhat confused.
"Even if I tell you, you won't understand... Anyway, as long as you let me and my friend Yang Li leave this place, I will hand over the Phoenix Jade. The reason why I came to see you this time is also because I want your permission. The Great Elder said that only you can open the path to the outside world. Is that so?" Fann Binn said seriously, "Please, saintess. It will be convenient for you."
Saintess's eyes flashed with curiosity and contemplation. She carefully sized up Fann Binn's clothing, which looked strange and somewhat tattered, and could not help but smile and say," You... want to see my appearance? "
Fann Binn did not understand why saintess would suddenly ask such a question and could not help but feel that it was funny. " I heard the Great Elder say that saintess is a first-class beauty in the world, but I think I shouldn't look at her anymore. If I fall in love with you, wouldn't that mean I don't want to leave this place? "
A complicated look flashed across saintess's beautiful eyes, as if she was surprised and angry at the same time. However, she quickly revealed a trace of a smile and said, "You are very interesting. This is the first time I have met a man who is unwilling to see a beautiful woman. But the more you are like this, the more I want you to see my appearance! "
Before Fann Binn could say anything, saintess took the initiative to remove the veil hanging by her earlobe! Very quickly, a beautiful face entered Fann Binn's eyes.
It had to be said that saintess was very beautiful, a kind of supreme beauty. Her beauty was as pure as ice and jade, just like a young girl in a snowy mountain. Her skin was snow-white with hints of rosiness, and her perfect oval face was carved with even more perfect facial features. Yes, perfect. This was the evaluation Fann Binn gave to this extremely beautiful saintess in front of him.
Perhaps in terms of beauty, none of the women Fann Binn loved could be compared to her. Even Lee Shan was a little lacking. But there was a woman who could be compared with him. This woman was Yang Yuyan. She was also wearing a veil, and saintess's beauty had its own merits, but they were almost the same. Both of them were so beautiful that it made people gasp in amazement! Of course, Fann Binn believed that saintess was wearing the veils because she didn't want her beautiful face to mesmerize all her clansmen. She had the capital.
Very soon, although Fann Binn admired her, he didn't fall into a crazy infatuation, which made saintess suddenly feel a slight sense of defeat. Perhaps it was rare for a man who had seen her face to be so calm and natural.
Actually, it was not because Fann Binn was pretending, but because he had seen the similarly beautiful face of Yang Yuyan when she unveiled her veil. So naturally, her resistance was much better, but even so, this naturally formed angelic face still shocked him. However, this sort of shock only appeared in his heart, but on the outside, he appeared much calmer.
"Mr. Fann, I found that I'm really starting to become more and more curious about you." Seeing that her appearance did not move Fann Binn, the corner of saintess's mouth suddenly revealed an extremely alluring smile. "It seems that you are a calm man. I just don't know if all the men in the outside world are as wise as you."
"Then I have to thank saintess for her praise." Fann Binn seemed to have understood saintess's intention to show off her face. He smiled and said. “ Your father told me that you are very interested in the outside world. Is that so? "
When saintess heard this, her expression seemed to be somewhat complicated as she said, "Did my father say that to you? What else did he say to you? "
"He also said..." Fann Binn thought for a while and smiled. "He also said that saintess's fate was miserable. He also said that he hoped that you would become my woman and that I would take you far away from home. Don't suffer the pain of being alone until you die of old age."
"You really dare to say..." saintess did not get angry. Instead, she smiled and stared at Fann Binn seriously. "Do you think that I will listen to my father and go with you to become your woman?"
"Whether you go or not is the freedom and right that you choose to go outside. Of course, I have no reason to interfere. But whether you become my woman or not, it has something to do with me. " Fann Binn shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "No matter what decision you make, I will respect your choice. However, I think that a high and mighty saintess will probably not give up the pride and dignity in front of her. Give up a life of wealth, wealth, wealth, and luxury and go to the unknown and dangerous world outside."
Saintess was silent. She seemed to be thinking about the boldest thing in her life. It was also the most risky thing. Very quickly, her arrogant expression gradually became cold. In its place was a deep worry and fear that was tightly knitted between her brows. "My name is Lee Shiqi. In the future, you don't have to call me saintess."
Fann Binn was stunned. His eyes widened as he felt very surprised. It can't be... Is the outside world really that attractive to her? Could it be that saintess and Lee Shiqi were really willing to go to the outside world and become his woman? Damn it, even Fang Ming took the initiative to say it. If this wasn't forcing him to abdicate, what was it?
Initially, it wasn't a big deal to bring such a beautiful woman out of the mountain, but the key was that Fann Binn had more than one wife. If Wu Qi, Faang Yixuan, and the rest saw saintess's appearance, what would they do if it aroused their jealousy? Alright, let's take a step back and not talk about the beloved wives outside. Just from Yang Li's side, he did not know how to explain!
Fann Binn had always thought that although the Great Elder had made this request, saintess would not take a fancy to him. Furthermore, the Great Elder's intention did not represent saintess's own intentions. But obviously, he had the wrong idea. This saintess actually had the intention of following him out of this place!
"That... I will still call you saintess." Fann Binn did not dare to call her by her name directly. Didn't that indirectly mean that there was an ambiguous relationship between him and saintess?
"What is it? You don't even have the courage to call me by my name? You... Can you tell me what the outside world is like?" saintess Lee Shiqi asked curiously," Actually, the original owner of this Phoenix Jade was the previous patriarch. I know, when I was still very young. He quietly left the Five Dragons Clan alone, wanting to go out and see the outside world. But he never came back. Until now, it's still unknown whether he's alive or dead. "
When Fann Binn heard this, he finally understood what was going on. It seemed like... The more knowledgeable the leaders of Five Dragons Clan were, the more they desired the outside world. That was why the patriarch went missing, and saintess wanted to slip away as well. Actually, this was not hard to understand. Birds who were always trapped in cages would of course want to fly freely in the sky. Even if it was full of danger outside. saintess and the previous patriarch probably thought this way. What God Race? They were actually just ordinary mortals!
"The outside world... How should I put it? There are dangers and opportunities. That is a world you don't understand at all" Fann Binn smiled bitterly, "Do you want to go to the outside world?"
Saintess's gaze that seemed to be able to speak had already told Fann Binn that her desire was undoubtedly filled with curiosity and interest. "I have lived in the Five Dragons Clan for twenty years. I really want to go to the outside world to take a look. What my father said is right. saintess appears to be very beautiful on the surface, but once she is over thirty, she will become the most pitiful and miserable woman. I don't want to be that kind of woman, so I have to leave this place! And you are the only way for me to leave this place!"
Fann Binn sighed lightly and shook his head with a bitter smile." Sigh, it seems that your father knows you very well. He also knows what you are thinking... But, is it because you want to go outside that you must become my woman? "
"Of course, this is the clan's rule!" saintess and Lee Shiqi's beautiful face revealed a trace of shyness as she firmly said. " Only by becoming your woman can I let you take me away from here. The clan will choose a new saintess to replace me."
"Is there no other way?" Fann Binn slapped his forehead and said painfully, "saintess, I am not afraid to tell you that I have many beloved wives outside. I am afraid that you cannot become my woman."
Saintess and Lee Shiqi felt a little strange and asked, "Why not? It's very normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. I didn't say that they must be big."
"Uh..." Fann Binn was really about to be speechless. He really did not know how to explain to saintess what a monogamy was. Damn it, he even forgot where saintess lived. It was the Five Dragons Clan that existed during the feudal period!
"What? Do you think it is difficult for me to be your woman? Is it because my looks are not good or my figure is not good enough?" Seeing Fann Binn's unwilling expression, Lee Shiqi finally revealed a trace of anger on her pretty face. Indeed, as a heaven's favoured daughter, when had she ever been looked down upon like this? To her, being able to bow down and become Fann Binn's woman was already considered as letting him off easy. Why did it seem like he wasn't willing to accept it?
Fann Binn saw that she was about to flip out and hurriedly explained, "saintess, you really misunderstood. I didn't mean it that way... You are so beautiful. I don't even have time to like you. But, we just met after all, and we became husband and wife so rashly. No feelings will affect you and me. How about this... How about we have a fake wedding? You pretend to be my woman first, and when we get out, we will cut off all relations. What do you think about becoming ordinary friends?"
"You mean... we're just pretending?" Lee Shiqi was stunned. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said. " Since I have already become your woman... How can there be a reason to cut ties? Could it be that you want to go out and go back on your word and not admit that it has something to do with me? "
