Chapter 259 A Sudden Forced Marriage

Except for protecting Valley Village, Ding Hao’s purpose that he left Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was to sharpen himself by living in a cruel environment. Only by experiencing the battles between life and death he could fully stimulate his own potential and make breakthroughs, hone his mood and strengthen his strength.

The abilities of a warrior were not just the realm and combat skills.

The experience was also one of them.

Mu Tianyang was known as “Prodigy” of Tranquility Academy. It had been many years since his debut. He had battled hundreds of times. The high-level officials of Tranquility Academy had tried their best to arrange numerous trial tests for Mu Tianyang. Even Void Young Master, the crown prince of Demon God Palace, was one of Mu Tianyang’s targets, so his combat experience is bound to be extremely rich.

All of his experience accumulated in the fierce battles of life and death, so Mu Tianyang was absolutely terrible.

If Ding Hao wanted to challenge Mu Tianyang, his every aspect definitely was not supposed to be weaker than Mu Tianyang’s, no matter his realm, magic skills, combat skills, magical weapons, or combat experience.

Swordsmanship-seeking Sect’s mode of training its disciples was systematic and step-by-step, but it was not appropriate for Ding Hao, who urgently needed to improve his strength. Besides, Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was not going to do its best to train Ding Hao, so he had to train himself.

Ding Hao looked up and saw the rising red sun in the sky. He was going to practice the inscription in the snowfield outside the village as usual.

But at that moment—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a quick knock on the door.

Gao Xue’er, who was decked out beautifully, rushed in with tears in her face. She held Ding Hao, cried and said, “Brother Hao, please save me. Xue’er does not want to marry. I don’t want to be someone else’s concubine. I want to practice martial arts. I want to be a warrior like Brother Hao...” She sobbed.

“Get married?”

“Becoming someone’s concubine?”

Ding Hao was confused and asked, “Who wants you to marry?” “You are less than thirteen years old... What is going on?”

“Oh...” Gao Xue’er’s eyes were all swollen. They were as big as honey peaches. She intermittently and clearly explained the whole process of thing.

In the southwest of Valley Village about 25 kilometers away, there was a human settlement called “Qing River Town”, which had about a thousand people. It was a little larger than Valley Village. Qing River Town was under the control of a Li family, and its strength was much stronger than that of Valley Village.

The mayor of Qing River Town was named Li Ying. He had five sons. The eldest one was Li Yunfei, a warrior of Martial Disciple Realm. He had been married for three years, but he had never had a child. Someone told him that the chief of Valley Village had a daughter, who was naturally beautiful and clever, so he wanted to marry her and get himself a child. Today morning, he sent someone to talk about this thing with Gao Xue’er’s father.

Gao Feng accepted it. No one knew what he was thinking about. He was considering marrying his thirteen-year-old girl to Li Yunfei as his concubine.

Gao Xue’er had a talent and she wanted to become a warrior like Ding Hao. Especially during this time, Ding Hao personally gave guidance, so she progressed quite rapidly. In this case, it was estimated that she had a hope of entering one of the Nine Sects and being a disciple. Naturally, she was not willing to be a concubine of others to ruin her hope of a lifetime.

“Don’t worry. Let’s go and see.” Ding Hao comforted the panicked little girl, went out of the stone building. He was going to talk with Gao Feng.

...

“Chief Gao really knows the time. Now that you’ve promised to marry your daughter to my big brother, then our Qing River Town and your Valley Village will become relatives. Haha, we will take care of you. You have my word.”

In the hall, a young man in his twenties said. He was swollen with arrogance.

This man was wearing leather armor, carrying two large axes. There were hard beards on his face. He looked proud. The man was the second young master of Qing River Town, Li Yunyang.

Gao Feng looked gloomy, but he did not say anything.

“Second young master, we’re very happy to be relatives with Qing River Town, but may I discuss this thing with my people? Xue’re’s nominal age is 13. She is too young to get married,” Elder Gao Lin smiled and asked. He was trying to ease the atmosphere. “To be honest, there are a few beautiful girls in our Valley Village, except for Xue’er. How about...”

Frankly, Gao Feng and Gao Lin were both not willing to marry Gao Xue’er.

If it were the times before Ding Hao came, if Gao Xue’er could be the daughter-in-law of Li Family of Qing River Town, that would be good for her.

After all, in today’s Valley Village, people were weaker from generation to generation. Strong people were few, and thus the strength of the whole village was weak. In winter, everyone had to endure the torments of hunger. They did not have enough food and clothing. What was worse, more recently, they lost Guo Nu, their guardian warrior. The winter was long, and they could not see the future and hope. If Gao Xue’er kept staying in the village, she would either starve to death or get killed by a demon one day.

But now the problem was solved because of Ding Hao.

The appearance of Ding Hao not only gave Valley Village hope to survive but also brought hope to Gao Xue’er.

These days, Ding Hao had told them many times that Gao Xue’er had a good talent for martial arts. After more than a year of cultivation, she was very likely to pass the test of the Nine Sects of Snow Province and become one of the Nine Sects’ disciples.

Ding Hao was a very strong man in their eyes.

These days, Ding Hao’s performances had already earned the tremendous admiration of all the people in Valley Village. In private, everyone believed that Ding Hao’s true identity was definitely an excellent disciple of the Nine Sects. What he said naturally would be regarded as the golden rule by people in Valley Village.

In this way, Gao Lin and Gao Feng would have a second thought.

If someone of Valley Village could become a disciple of the Nine Sects, the village would be blessed by the Sect. By then small groups, such as Blood Dragon Village, would absolutely not dare to provoke them. That was good for Gao Xue’er’s own future and the whole village. That would be better than that of marrying Li Yunfei of Qing River Town.

Not long ago, Qing River Town was just a small tribe that was worse than Valley Village. Why did it become a big force only second to Peaceful City in less than three or four years? That was because of the sons of the mayor of Qing River Town. Li Ying’s fourth son, Li Yunfeng, joined Chopping Sun City and his fifth son, Li Yunqi, joined Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, so Qing River Town had the protection of these Sects.

Gao Xue’er was the hope of Valley Village.

Of course, Gao Lin and his people did not dare to offend Qing River Town, so his words were as euphemistic as possible.

However, before he finished his word, Li Yunyang interrupted with impatience, and sneered, saying, “Old man, my older brother said he wanted nobody except for Gao Xue’er. Haha, to put it bluntly, Gao Xue’er is the daughter of the village chief, so my older brother is willing to take her as a concubine. Besides her, do you think those low-lying women in your rough village deserve to be my brother’s concubine?”
