Chapter 239 Cracked Claw Leopard
He put down his chopsticks and began to speak in a deep voice:
"The purpose of this trip is to apologize. My Emperor Jiang clan has been in arrears on the tributes to the concubines for several years, and we were impolite from the start. We are already inferior to others, and you are still putting on airs here. Do you want to become a laughing stock?"
He poured himself a cup of wine, stood up, his brocade robe trailing on the ground, bowed slightly, and almost touched the wine cup with hers, but then lowered it an inch.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness; this maid is ignorant of etiquette."
Two sentences.
This left everyone around speechless.
Hey Hey hey.
Did they hear it right?
The Emperor Jiang clan did not come to collect a debt.
The concubine is the real creditor!
how……
How can it be!
Moreover, clans had a clear hierarchy, and the Dijiang clan was not only an ancient clan, but also a large clan of the seventh rank.
As for the clan patriarch, Dijiang, he had even reached the eighth level, making him far beyond the reach of others.
How could such a great figure from the heavens offer a toast and apologize to a mere Snow Weasel clan?
They rubbed their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
Mu Yunyun lifted his wrist up slightly.
She can't possibly be taller than her older brother.
Ying Hua stopped her from doing so and tilted his head back to drink first as a sign of respect.
As the liquor entered my throat, my Adam's apple bobbed.
This dignified and upright clan patriarch possessed an air of nobility and elegance in every gesture.
Helpless, Mu Yunyun could only finish the drink.
The woman's face turned ashen with anger.
The adults were actually protecting this female like this.
How does she deserve it?
How dare she!
Just as she was about to reprimand her for her arrogance, Ying Hua did not let her off the hook.
He glanced at Yao Niang.
"Lord Qiyue's reprimand just now was not without reason. How could a lowly maid like you be allowed to interrupt when the master is speaking at the table?"
"Clan leader, I..."
"I won't punish you. From now on, you will acknowledge this lady as your master and you won't need to serve me anymore."
"Clan leader! You want me to acknowledge a lowly outsider as my master!" Yao Niang shrieked, "My mother's clan is the Yao clan of the North Sea!"
Lowly foreign race.
These four words made Ying Hua's expression even colder.
"So what? You're just a lowly maid sent by your maternal clan to curry favor with my Dijiang clan. Is it beneath you to have you acknowledge a concubine as your master?"
Little maidservant!
Yao Niang wanted to laugh.
She condescended to serve him, but in his eyes, she was nothing more than a maid!
Or is he just putting on an act, putting on a show for the other party?
Yes.
That must be it!
The adult must be angry.
His Dijiang clan was tricked by the Snow Weasel clan. That fool Yao Ji actually lost the offerings, which were the face of the clan.
To save face, the adults came in person, but they didn't expect the other party to be so ignorant of etiquette and to be so impolite in every way.
Your Excellency is using this as a pretext to embarrass the master of the house.
With that in mind, Yao Niang gritted her teeth and endured it.
Since he wanted to embarrass the other party, she wouldn't mind helping him out.
And let him know how good she is.
Once we're officially bound by a contract, I won't spoil him like this anymore.
She walked over, gritted her teeth, and knelt down in front of Mu Yunyun.
“It is my fault. I was loyal to my master and did not serve two masters. The clan chief bestowed me upon the concubine, and I dared not disobey. I can only atone with my death.”
"I beg you, Lady Consort, to grant me death."
She lay prostrate on the ground, in the posture of a slave.
She refused to believe he wouldn't soften his heart.
Given her standing in his heart, the master must feel even more disgusted with this ignorant concubine right now!
Mu Yunyun blinked.
What's the fuss about?
Beside her, Qi Yue sneered, "Who are you trying to impress with this pretentious act? If you're going to atone with your death, then die somewhere far away and don't dirty my place."
Yao Niang was almost driven mad by his words.
She took a deep breath, repeated it, and sobbed softly.
"Please, Lady Consort, grant me death! Please, Lady Consort, grant me death!"
Done.
Her head kept hitting the ground.
The onlookers were too afraid to watch.
If this gets out, wouldn't it make people think that Jiang Shuiqi forced someone's maid to death? Doesn't he have any shame?
Mu Yunyun thought so too.
This person is still Ying Hua's man; we have to give him face.
Unexpectedly, Ying Hua suddenly spoke.
"Since she was given to you, you can do whatever you want with her. She disrespected you, so it would be too easy for her to atone with her death."
Mu Yunyun frowned.
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Ying Hua had become much more aggressive.
When they first met, he was clearly someone who would pity someone of her status.
Even the Nightbirds treated him differently, saying he was approachable and never cared about social status.
"Go downstairs first. Your family didn't mean to scold you, so don't take it to heart."
The woman stopped kowtowing.
"Yes, I know." She knew that he wouldn't bear to punish her.
"Someone, take this lady away and treat her injuries."
Bai Sang'er came over with a forced smile.
"Lady, please."
It's no wonder Bai Sang'er felt terrible that someone like this had taken her place for no reason.
We'll get rid of her tomorrow.
……
The farce ruined Mu Yunyun's mood for drinking.
Ying Hua was also afraid of upsetting her again.
He gave the order: "Go and bring the offerings over so that the concubine can take a look."
When the topic of offerings came up, Mu Yunyun finally perked up.
She sat up straight, and the disciples of the main family all looked over.
The slaves carried in the wooden boxes and opened them one by one.
The Dongzhuhai coins are not rare items; the rarest items are the fur and bones of various high-patterned beasts.
There were even scales and feathers that looked like farts.
The offerings were displayed in a dazzling array, almost blinding everyone.
"Why so many?"
Logically speaking, the offerings from only six clans over two years shouldn't amount to this much.
Ying Hua smiled and said, "This isn't anything rare. The Bear Clan hunted a young Cracked Claw Leopard this year. See if you like it."
hiss-
Cracked Claw Leopard!
Everyone gasped.
The Five-Striped Clawed Leopard unleashes a torrent of lightning with a single claw strike, capable of scorching a person to a crisp.
Such a large beast would be difficult to capture, let alone catch alive; it would even be difficult to hunt.
Mu Yunyun never expected it to be a live Cracked Claw Leopard.
Even in their youth, their power was something that the orcs could contend with.
Mu Yunyun once hunted a Thundercloud Leopard, beat it half to death, and barely managed to kill it.
"Bring him up."
Ying Hua gave the order.
Soon, several warriors with bear-like figures carried in the cage.
The cage was completely covered by a large animal hide, which was pieced together, with a small portion still sticking out.
The exposed parts reveal vines that are wrapped around the animal, vines that can render mountain beasts unconscious.
The key is to control the dosage; too much or too little is not acceptable.
"Chief, the Cracked Claw Leopard is in the cage."
Ying Hua nodded: "Lift it up so the lady can see."
The rough-looking man with yellow teeth stepped forward with the imposing aura of a tiger. With a flick of his thick arm, he revealed a leopard with claws about the size of a fox.
The five-patterned beast totem on the forehead is clearly visible.
It was fast asleep, its paws resting obediently on its chest, its tail sprawled on the ground.
so cute!
Mu Yunyun is extremely fond of it.
Since none of them had ever seen a juvenile Clawed Leopard, they all huddled together and whispered among themselves.
The commotion was so loud that the little leopard lazily opened its eyes. It seemed surprised by the large number of people and was startled. Its previously sound sleepy posture immediately became agitated.
