Douluo Continent: Ice Phoenix Rebuilds Her Skills and Enrolls in Tianshui Academy

Chapter 68 The First Wife and the Second Wife

Wearing a ring on the middle finger signifies engagement.

What's this? It's pre-booking.

Hyotei frowned slightly and asked curiously:

"Is there any particular reason for wearing them on different fingers?"

Xue Di concealed the complex emotions in her eyes.

"Of course there are. Humans are very particular. Wearing it on the index finger means you're single, that is, you're alone; wearing it on the middle finger means you have someone you like, and that person likes you back; wearing it on the ring finger means you're married."

Upon hearing this, Hyotei felt utterly terrified.

"Chu Han, what do you mean?!"

"Are you going to leave me, so you want to put this ring on my index finger?"

Hyotei was like a polar bear cub with its fur standing on end, standing on tiptoe, its twin ponytails swaying gently, its face radiating anger.

Chu Han:? ? ?

"No, wearing it on the middle finger means engagement, and on the ring finger it means marriage. Tell me, which finger would be more appropriate?"

Hyotei snorted:

"Of course, I'll wear it on my ring finger, Chu Han. Don't you want to marry me?"

Chu Han was taken aback, and an incredulous expression appeared in his eyes.

"No, little scorpion, do you even know what marriage means?"

"Of course I know. It means you have to take care of me from now on, love me no matter what I become, and always give in to me. You can play with my feet, and I can't refuse if you want to tease me sometimes..."

Hyotei bit her finger, a conflicted expression on her face.

Do we really have to let ourselves be bullied?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems like I didn't lose out.

Chu Han's face darkened.

"You know nothing! Marriage isn't about raising a patriarch!"

"You don't even know anything, yet you're spouting nonsense."

Hyotei stood with her hands on her hips, angrily rebuking, her twin tails reflecting her own mood and expressing her fury.

"Chu Han, what do you mean?!"

"Are you trying to renege on your debt? You've already gone through with it, and now you don't want to take responsibility!"

Chu Han was greatly alarmed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What did I do?!"

Hyotei suddenly did a split, shoving his foot into Chu Han's face, and a refreshing fragrance wafted into Chu Han's nose.

"Hey, dare you say you didn't play?"

Chu Nan was furious and embarrassed.

"This is completely different. Marriage in the human world is not what you think, little scorpion. Can't you at least learn some basic common sense?"

"You're talking nonsense! How could I not understand!"

Hyotei said angrily:

"To put it bluntly, isn't it just about wanting you to be my spouse?"

"Chu Han, will you accept it or not?"

Chu Han was completely stunned.

She really knows her stuff...

Xue Di felt a little uneasy.

Hyotei was far more proactive than her, always sticking to Chu Han, regardless of whether Chu Han was doing anything important, and instead acting more intimately with him.

However, the Snow Emperor did not expect:

Hyotei and Chu Han's relationship is progressing so fast. How is this any different from a real relationship?

But has Hyotei ever considered her Yuki-neechan...?

Xue Di was in a bad mood, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

Chu Han keenly noticed this.

I feel so sorry for Xuebao.

He rolled his eyes at Hyotei:

"So, according to you, shouldn't I give this ring to Xue Di? Here you go!"

Chu Han tried to take the ring from Hyotei's hand, but Hyotei held it tightly, warily saying:

"What do you want to do!"

Hyotei bit her lip, her expression particularly aggrieved, and her voice trembled with a hint of a sob:

"Chu Han, you're bullying me! You and Sister Xue have been together for a long time, and you two must have done countless bad things in secret, yet you won't even give me a ring."

"Then what am I, exactly...?"

Upon hearing Hyotei's words, Chu Han's mind went blank for a moment.

He looked at the soles of his feet with a somewhat blank expression.

who am I? where am I?

No, when did he ever do so many bad things with Xue Di, and how come he didn't know about this?

Xue Di's cherry lips parted slightly:

"what……"

She was a little confused. She was with Chu Han? When did this happen?

"Little Scorpion, you need to provide evidence for your claims! What makes you say that I and the Snow Woman have been together for a long time...?"

"You've known Sister Xue for so long, and Sister Xue likes you, are you still trying to lie to me?"

Hyotei's resentful gaze resembled that of a woman confined to her boudoir, filled with bitterness.

But Chu Han truly felt he was wronged!

Snow Empress, however, understood Ice Empress's thoughts.

In the little girl's mind, she and Chu Han had known each other for a long time, and there was a tacit understanding between them. Taking care of Hyotei was like parents taking care of a child.

Therefore, it was only natural that Ice Emperor felt that Chu Han and Snow Emperor were definitely a couple.

Otherwise, how could this kind of tacit understanding come about?

Snow Emperor laughed and said:

"Bing'er, you've really misunderstood. Chu Han and I have never defined our relationship."

In fact, neither Chu Han nor Xue Di was in a hurry. They were both enjoying the present moment and the warmth of being together.

However, Hyotei was impatient and always felt that she was inferior to Yuki-nee, so she tried every means to make Chu Han prove that she liked her.

What she was anxious about was:

Since Sister Xue is already with Chu Han, she probably won't miss out on me, right? She wants Chu Han to admit he likes her soon.

The more you care, the more often you act recklessly.

Hyotei stared blankly at Yuki-tei, and said in disbelief:

"No? Sister Xue, you're not lying to me, you and Chu Han are in cahoots!"

Snow Empress gave Ice Empress a disgruntled look.

"Bing'er, I really don't know what's going on in your head. Not only have I not confirmed my relationship with Chu Han, but I also spend less time with Chu Han than you do every day."

"I didn't even know that you and Chu Han had done a lot of bad things while I wasn't looking?"

Hyotei felt extremely guilty:

"No……"

If what Xue Di said was true, then Bing Di suddenly realized that she was a bit despicable, after all, it was clearly Xue Di who knew Chu Han earlier and was the first to express her love.

However, in front of Sister Xue, she clung to Chu Han every day, shamelessly letting Chu Han pamper her and let him play with her little feet.

It's as if she's the villain.

Hyotei's face immediately turned ashamed:

I really don't know how despicable she is in Sister Xue's eyes, or even how she is a robber who steals by trickery and force!

"I'm so sorry, Sister Xue..."

Hyotei offered a stammering apology.

Xue Di smiled gently.

She patted Hyotei's head. "It's alright, Hyotei. Sister Yuki won't take things from you, but could you be a little more considerate of her?"

Hyotei shouted loudly:

"I promise! Sister Xue, I thought you and Chu Han had already gotten married without telling me!"

"Whether I am or not, Sister Xue, you're the first wife, so I'll just be the second wife!"

Hyotei nuzzled against Yuki-tei affectionately, "Sister Yuki, next time let Chu Han play with your feet. Let me tell you, he's so naughty, he even went up to smell them..."
