142: Even if I die, I will never marry you

“If you have the guts, kill me!” the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley shouted.

“Behave! When you meet the Old Gang Leader later, I’ll plead on your behalf. As long as you’re willing to be my wife obediently, hehe…”

Xiong Mao rubbed his hands, as if he was truly drooling over the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley.

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley looked at him with disgust: “Pah! I’d rather die than marry a scoundrel like you!”

Xiong Mao didn’t get angry; instead, he smiled: “I like a little firecracker like you.”

The people on Bao Hui’s side immediately ran to report after seeing this scene.

When Bao Hui heard the news, he suddenly stood up from his seat, slammed the table, and said, “What?! That idiot Xiong Mao really captured her and brought her back?!”

“Yes, many people saw it. They should have already gone to see the Old Gang Leader,” said the gang member who came to report.

These past few days, at Bao Hui’s instruction, they had been searching for the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley. However, apart from the Inner Circle of the forest and the Wall, they had searched everywhere but couldn’t find a trace of her.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Mao had now brought the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley back to the Axe Gang.

“I’m going to see it now.” Bao Hui couldn’t wait. He felt that things were starting to slip out of his control.

Inside the Axe Gang’s main hall, the Old Gang Leader leaned on his walking stick and walked to the main seat at the top to sit down. He took a sip of the prepared tea, and then looked at Xiong Mao and the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley who were standing opposite him.

“Old Gang Leader, I have captured this person and brought her back. Please deal with her!”

Xiong Mao was quite well-behaved this time, perhaps because the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley was right beside him.

The Old Gang Leader raised his head and looked at the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley. The disgust on her face was completely undisguised: “Since you’ve captured me, I accept my fate. Kill me or torture me as you please, but it’s best to give me a quick death with one strike, otherwise, even as a ghost, I won’t spare you bastards!”

Clearly, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley knew that if she didn’t die, she would certainly suffer inhumane treatment.

“Cough cough, Xiong Mao, you did well this time.” The Old Gang Leader coughed twice, expressing his satisfaction with Xiong Mao’s successful capture of the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley.

Xiong Mao, on the other hand, reverted to his usual simple-minded demeanor: “Actually, it was nothing, I just got lucky…”

“Pah, how disgusting!” The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley’s attitude remained hostile.

The Old Gang Leader seemed to completely ignore what the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley said. Many girls captured by the Axe Gang behaved like her, and he had never felt sympathy for any of them.

The Axe Gang had stood strong for many years by being ruthless.

“Xiong Mao.” The Old Gang Leader suddenly called Xiong Mao’s name.

“Here.” Xiong Mao quickly responded, “Old Gang Leader, what is it?”

“I remember you seemed to have feelings for this girl, didn’t you?”

Although the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley had six-level strength, she was just a woman and wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble, especially within the Axe Gang.

That’s why the Old Gang Leader had previously said he would marry her to Xiong Mao.

Xiong Mao blushed a little: “This…”

He paused, then tentatively said, “Old Gang Leader, I am indeed somewhat interested in her. Old Gang Leader, do you think you could make this happen for us?”

“Who’s ‘us’ with you?! Xiong Mao, I’m telling you, I’d rather die than marry you!” The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley’s voice sounded torn, showing extreme resistance to Xiong Mao’s suggestion.

Just then, Bao Hui entered: “Old Gang Leader.”

“Hmm, second brother, you’re here. Perfect, third brother did a really good job this time, capturing the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley. We’re about to decide how to deal with her. What do you think would be best?”

When the Old Gang Leader saw Bao Hui, he asked for his opinion.

Bao Hui’s recent suggestions had been quite good, so the Old Gang Leader wanted to hear what Bao Hui had to say about this matter as well.

Bao Hui sat down in a nearby seat, then observed Xiong Mao and the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley.

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley gritted her teeth, her gaze filled with immense resentment when it met Bao Hui’s, carrying a hint of hatred.

Bao Hui knew that the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley still hated him, but also had feelings for him.

However, he couldn’t let the Old Gang Leader see that he and the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley had a past entanglement.

“Old Gang Leader, why ask him? Didn’t you promise that if I brought her back, you’d marry her to me as my wife? You can’t go back on your word!”

Xiong Mao, afraid that his rightful wife would be snatched away, quickly pleaded his case.

Seeing Xiong Mao so anxious, Bao Hui suddenly felt a perverse sense of satisfaction.

This fellow Xiong Mao probably still didn’t know that the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley had feelings for him, the second-in-command, right?

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley was the woman Xiong Mao liked, but her heart belonged to Bao Hui.

“Bao Hui, what do you think?” The Old Gang Leader didn’t rush to answer Xiong Mao, but instead turned to ask Bao Hui.

Bao Hui was about to speak, but the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley spoke first: “Was I not clear enough? If you want me dead, then just kill me! Don’t bring such a person to humiliate me!”

She was bound by the Martial Binding Rope and couldn’t use her elemental energy, leaving her at their mercy.

But she was unyielding, preferring death over marrying Xiong Mao.

This, in turn, made Bao Hui’s perverse thoughts feel even more satisfied. Since the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley didn’t like Xiong Mao anyway, it would be better to marry her to Xiong Mao. This way, she wouldn’t reveal his secret, and it would also cause chaos for Xiong Mao.

It would also make it easier for him to continue his plan.

So Bao Hui stood up and said, “Old Gang Leader, since third brother likes this young lady, why don’t we grant his wish? Third brother has never had a woman by his side, and he’s finally taken a liking to someone. It wouldn’t be right for us to ruin his marriage.”

“Hmm, that’s well said.” The Old Gang Leader seemed to agree deeply, “Then, third brother, I will personally arrange for this young lady to be married to you as your wife. You must treat her well from now on.”

“Yes, thank you, Old Gang Leader, for making it happen!” Xiong Mao was overjoyed.

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, however, looked at Bao Hui in disbelief, as if she had never expected him to actively promote this marriage.

Bao Hui turned his head, deliberately avoiding her gaze.

In her extreme disappointment, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley even forgot to express her disgust for Xiong Mao.

“Alright, since it’s a joyous occasion, let’s do it as soon as possible. How about you two get married tonight?” The Old Gang Leader’s face was full of wrinkles when he smiled.

It had been many years since the Axe Gang had such a grand celebration.

“Yes, of course, yes!” Xiong Mao was ecstatic, as if he had found some precious treasure.

Bao Hui felt a little uncomfortable, more or less, because the person the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley liked was him, so he had a feeling that this woman belonged to him.

But this was also good. Although he didn't get her person, Xiong Mao would never get her heart.

After the matter was settled, Xiong Mao pulled the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley and left the main hall.

She was still bound by the Martial Binding Rope, her expression despondent, as if she had lost all hope of living.

She maintained this state until they returned to Xiong Mao’s room.
