1649: Acacia Beans 1

Acacia Beans 1

Ouyang Mingjing, for the first time, felt useless, and it was his future wife who had made him so.1

Was she not pleased by him?

Ouyang Mingjing was thinking on the way back.

The Elders had been guiding him since he was little. Even to the present day, taking the Phoenix Girl back to the Snow Territory was the most important thing in the past dozens years. The Elder was worried that he was too young to deal with some stuff, so he kept him company to make sure everything went well.

He barely had a hand in Ouyang Mingjing's affairs, so Ouyang Mingjing went to him when he ran into trouble.

"Did anything happen with the Phoenix Girl?" The Elder asked, opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps.

They came to the Saint Divine Land to get the Phoenix Girl back before the time came. Ouyang Mingjing must be here to ask him about this.

Ouyang Mingjing nodded.

"She did not accept our marriage alliance," Ouyang Mingjing said straightforwardly.

The Elder was not surprised. Looking calm, he turned back into the inner chamber and brought out a small wooden box. On the box was a well-carved snow lotus flower, symbolizing the Snow Territory. The box was brought here from the Snow Territory.

What was that? Ouyang Mingjing was confused.

The Elder opened the box and presented what was inside to him.

It was a small, tiny red bean, wrapped in silk, two in total, very precious.

"Acacia beans, for every Head of the Snow Territory who is at the age of getting married. Luckily the Head will need it, those who are not lucky never use it. So you are lucky, because none before you used it."

"What is it?" Ouyang Mingjing asked confusedly.

He came to the Elder and asked about the Phoenix Girl, why did he mention Acacia beans?

"The couple who eat them will fall for each other no matter what happened in the past." The Elder said confidently and passed it to Ouyang Mingjing. "The Phoenix Girl doesn't accept your marriage alliance, but if you eat one and feed her one the next day, she will be willing to follow you back to the Snow Territory."

"…"

"Head, you don't need to be worried or bothered. This is what the Head is always like."

Ouyang Mingjing looked at the Acacia beans.

He had not known about Acacia beans before today.

So the Phoenix Girl would fall for him automatically after he fed her this?

However… he did not think that was right.

Marriage should come from two willing people, through love, not through special methods.

He would not be a man if he used such tricks.

The Elder soon realized what he was thinking. The Head knew what he needed, and he had held the position for years despite the infighting in the Snow Territory, but he was still quite pure-hearted. Otherwise he would not have been so bothered. He wondered if that was a good or bad thing.

The Elder said seriously, "Head…"
