Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

After seeing the newcomer, Huang Yanyao could start a conversation with Lu Mu again.

"It looks like... their demon bloodline comes from the White Moon Snow Wolf clan?"

Lu Mu played with the cup and looked carefully at the patriarch of the Yueyin tribe. The fierce aura on his body was not concealed. The power of this demon blood was stronger than that of Yushan. His cultivation Qi was at the third level of Yuanji, which was stronger than Yushan's second level of Yuanji.

Wolves are indeed more ferocious than snakes, but snakes are usually not weaker than wolves. Sometimes snakes are the more dangerous ones.

Moreover, the patriarch seemed to be injured.

"Yes, the Moon Silver Tribe is not as old as the Feathered Serpent Tribe. They moved from the Southern Region to the Central Region seven hundred years ago. It is said that the White Moon Snow Wolf Tribe was very dissatisfied with these half-demon, half-human forces, believing that they polluted their pure bloodline, so they killed them all. Only a few people escaped by chance, and later established the Moon Silver Tribe."

Huang Yanyao watched the three people walking all the way in from the banquet hall door. The guests around them stood up one after another to report the good news. The clan leader named Bai Shang also seemed to be very pleased and showed a lot of sincerity when he returned the gifts.

Yushan personally got down from the main seat and walked halfway to greet them.

"Brother Bai Shang, I hope you are satisfied with the hospitality in my house."

His face was filled with a warm smile, but Lu Mu felt that he was not celebrating his daughter's marriage into a good family, but rather negotiating a good business deal.

Bai Shang also returned the gift and asked his son to bow to his future father-in-law. The atmosphere became more and more lively.

"That's great, everyone please take a seat!"

Bai Shang nodded, and under Yushan's arrangement, he took his wife and children to sit on the left side of the main seat, so that the two families were on an equal footing.

Huang Yanyao narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at the family of three, then lowered her eyes, hiding the deep thought in her eyes.

After the in-laws arrived, there were no empty tables in the banquet hall.

"My daughter from Yushan is getting married soon. Thank you all for taking the trouble to come and congratulate me. This glass of wine is my toast to you all."

Yushan stood up, picked up a glass of wine, stood up, and drank it first.

The guests in the banquet hall also returned the greetings and drank the wine in their glasses. The original bustle was completely ignited at this moment.

No matter how lively it is,

Yushan swept his eyes across the crowd and said loudly, "It just so happens that all the distinguished guests are gathered here today. My little daughter often stays at home and rarely shows up, but she is an excellent dancer. Today is the pre-wedding banquet, so let her perform to liven up the atmosphere and show the friendship between our two families."

As soon as he finished speaking, the side door of the banquet hall opened, and a group of maids surrounded a slender girl and walked slowly in.

The girl was wearing a light pink dance dress that trailed on the ground. Her long sandy hair was tied up in a simple bun and a gilded phoenix-wing peony hairpin was inserted diagonally on top of her head. Her facial features were delicate, especially her eyes, which had a seductive beauty as she looked around.

She walked to the empty stage specially reserved in the banquet hall. The maids were already in place, holding musical instruments.

The music starts, and the dance begins.

Chapter 42: Melancholy in Dance

The bustle in the banquet hall was replaced by melodious and lively music.

The maids in charge of the performance injected their true energy into the notes of the melody, and the smooth melody like a landscape painting slipped through their fingertips, making people fascinated.

The girl dances gracefully, and as she flutters and spins she exudes a charm that is unique to snakes.

The guests saw a sand-colored silhouette whirling before their eyes. The tune gradually became more and more melody and the dance became more lively, like floating catkins, graceful like fairies or like butterflies flying through flowers, dynamic and changeable.

It is like a quiet and fragrant nightingale, quietly entering into everyone's eyes and mind, and lingering for a long time.

Everyone's attention was drawn there.

The young master of the Yueyin tribe, who was sitting in the hall, was looking at the girl who was going to marry him in three days. Her charming dance made his eyes widen, and his eyes could not go anywhere else except on her.

What a beauty this is.

That enchanting figure belonged to him...soon.

"Oh, a nice beauty."

"Maybe I could have a taste of you."

Hong Jing held the wine glass, his eyes deep, he stared at the girl, he didn't care whether the dance was good or not, Hong Jing never appreciated these things, but he appreciated beauties, especially such a delicate girl, and along with the appreciation, grew a dark desire to seize her.

He never hides it, nor does he need to.

The mysterious man next to Hong Jing remained silent as usual, like a sculpture.

"……interesting."

Huang Yanyao leaned back in her chair, looking at the jumping figure with a smile on her lips.

The little daughter of Yushan was indeed good-looking, and her dance was as gentle as a sand snake. She gave a thumbs-up to the dance alone, but Huang Yanyao was not only concerned about the dance itself.

She saw the deep resentment hidden in the girl's eyes.

resentment?

why?

Huang Yanyao's gaze turned to the young master of the Yueyin tribe who was staring at the dancer in a trance. His admiration was so obvious, this man... must be terribly in love with her.

But does she love this future husband who looks so handsome?

Huang Yanyao raised her eyes and looked at Lu Mu, only to see that Lu Mu was also looking at her at this moment. Their eyes met, and Huang Yanyao curled her lips and smiled slightly. Her sparkling peach blossom eyes were shining, as if containing infinite brilliance, bright and moving.

Lu Mu also smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"How does she dance?"

Huang Yanyao lowered her voice.

"Like a goldfinch locked in a cage, it reveals itself helplessly and sadly."

Lu Mu's tone was still gentle, but it was not difficult to detect the sarcasm.

The two of them were the only sober spectators in this music and dance. Great minds think alike. Huang Yanyao and Lu Mu actually thought the same thing.

"There's nothing we can do about it. There are conflicts everywhere in the Wuyan Desert. Even though the Quetzalcoatl tribe is wealthy, there are many enemies eyeing them covetously. This marriage... I'm afraid it wasn't the result she wanted from the beginning."

Huang Yanyao was sitting at the far end of the hall. She could see all the guests below. In her eyes, the dancing bride looked like she was surrounded by countless wolves and beasts. No one showed their fangs, but she seemed to have been devoured.

"Feeling bad for her?"

"Seeing a girl like this being pressured by her loveless in-laws, you would feel a little bit of empathy, right?"

Lu Mu put down his wine glass and drank the honey tea.

"resonance?"

"Master Lu, you think I'm the kind of weak woman who is indecisive and sentimental over other people's trivial matters."

Huang Yanyao sneered and crossed her arms, full of majesty.

Of course, she would not feel the slightest bit sad for this girl who was filled with helplessness and reluctance.

She has been the apple of the Quetzalcoatl tribe's eye since she was born, and she has lived a lot of good days. In this case, she should be aware of making sacrifices for the tribe. No one can blame her for not being able to make her own decision on her marriage.

Of course, if this happened to Huang Yanyao, she would resist, because for her, the identity of a princess could be easily abandoned, and she had enough confidence to oppose it.

It's a pity that the girl dancing in front of me doesn't seem to have that kind of determination or courage.

Since you don't have the courage to resist, just accept the reality.

That's it.

"Aren't you watching?"

Huang Yanyao noticed that when she glanced at Lu Mu, he was just sipping the tea in his hand boredly.

Lu Mu shook his head, "Nothing to see."

"You think she's not pretty?"

"quite pretty."

"Then why don't you watch it?"

"Because there's something better looking next to me."

Lu Mu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Huang Yanyao, with a certain light flashing in his eyes.

Huang Yanyao was startled for a moment, then she turned her eyes away and looked away, not knowing what she was thinking.

The song is over and the dance is over.

The girl was so tired that she was sweating. This dance was quite difficult and she was a little exhausted. Perhaps it was because she was born with a weak constitution. But she could not leave the platform and instead turned her gaze to the main seat in the hall.

"it is good!"

Some people couldn't help but applaud and praise.

The guests were not satisfied with the show and kept praising it. Yushan had a smile on his face, full of pride.

Her eyes fell on the young master of the Moonsilver tribe.

The girl has a pair of autumn eyes, as bright as water, so charming and touching that one glance at them will make people fall in love with them.

The two looked at each other, and the almost deep admiration in each other's eyes only made her feel annoyed.

She withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes, unwilling to meet the other person's gaze again.

At Yushan's beckoning, the girl walked down the stage and bowed in front of the main seat, saying in a sweet voice, "My daughter greets my father."

"Good boy, good boy."

The smile on Yushan's face contained no kindness, only the joy of success.

"Congratulations to Chief Yushan for finding a good husband. Your daughter is so graceful and beautiful, she is perfect!"

At this time, there were guests in the audience complimenting him, and everyone echoed him. Yushan was overjoyed and the smile on his face became brighter.

"Haha! Thank you all for coming." Yushan stood up and said, "In three days, the wedding will begin. You all can stay in my Yusha City and drink to your heart's content. Don't leave until you are drunk!"

The guests cheered when they heard this.

Lu Mu and Huang Yanyao raised their glasses together. They didn't smile, nor did they look cold. But in the joyous wedding, their calmness couldn't pour cold water on the atmosphere. Just as Huang Yanyao said, she didn't feel anything.

The girl retreated silently, and when she passed in front of Lu Mu and Huang Yanyao, she paused for a moment, with a hint of hope, or something else, in her eyes, but she left soon and left the banquet hall through the side door with the maids who were playing music.

"She has other things on her mind."

Lu Mu looked at the direction the girl left and suddenly said something.

Huang Yanyao raised her eyebrows, half smiling, "Oh?"

"I'm afraid I'll need help from others."

"Hmph, then let's see who is willing to risk offending the Quetzalcoatl and Moonsilver tribes to rescue such an 'innocent' beauty from the sea of ​​suffering."

The emotion in the girl's eyes did not arouse any sympathy from Huang Yanyao, and she was too lazy to even give her a glance.

As the head of three cities, she doesn't mind other people's business.

You're in a mess yourself, why should you care about other people's business?

Chapter 43: Winning over

As the night deepened, the banquet ended and the guests dispersed. Lu Mu and Huang Yanyao remained seated, still leisurely drinking wine and tea, in no hurry to leave.

Soon the banquet hall was empty. Hong Jing was already feeling bored with the banquet, and now that it was finally over, he bowed slightly to Yushan, who was sitting at the host seat, and left with the mysterious man.

As for where to go...

At this time, there were only three people left in the banquet hall.

Silence descended in this huge space. Huang Yanyao's jade hands wandered along the cups and glasses, glancing sideways at Yushan who was sitting in the main seat. Yushan was also looking at her. Neither of them spoke, only their eyes exchanged glances. The smile on Yushan's face slowly faded, as if there was a shrewd wisdom blended into it.

The old fox has thousands of faces.

He just wears the most suitable look at the most suitable time.

Huang Yanyao leaned lazily on the back of the chair with an elegant posture, exuding a lazy nobility. Lu Mu was the same. He did not move, his aura slowly rising, as eye-catching as a hot sharp blade.

Yu Shan had never seen Huang Yanyao. He rarely left the Wuyan Desert, but he could hear a lot of rumors. Now, the Ninth Princess, who had returned to her ancestral home and was talked about two years ago, was sitting in the same hall with him. Her demeanor was impressive... According to outsiders, this Ninth Princess was unlearned in etiquette, did not follow ancestral rules, had no knowledge of hierarchy, and had no royal authority at all. She did not look like a princess, but a barbaric woman.

Nine times out of ten, rumors are false.

The woman in front of him was by no means a barbaric person. The elegance and grace that emanated from her bones was something that not everyone could fake.

And there is that stunning face that is impossible to ignore.
