Tantai Zhan suddenly turned his head.
He saw the clan leader, accompanied by a large group of clan members, approaching with imposing momentum.
His heart trembled.
A strong sense of crisis arose within him.
He had not expected the clan leader to appear with the clan members.
"Fifth, you are too disappointing!" The clan leader Tantai Jian's eyes were filled with disappointment. "I truly did not expect you to let your daughter leave."
"Clearly, before the selection, as a protector, you also agreed to choose a young woman to send to the Human Race leader."
"Then why are you breaking your promise today and letting your daughter leave?"
Tantai Zhan was anxious. "Clan leader, my daughter has already pledged herself to Chen Nan, and she is no longer qualified to be sent to the Human Race leader!"
Tantai Jian said coldly, "It's not up to you to decide whether she is qualified, but whether the Human Race leader likes her."
An elder also said, "Fifth, the powerful beings of the Human and Demon races will soon arrive at our tribe. If you let Tantai Shuang leave now, how will we explain ourselves to the Human Race leader?"
"Exactly. Regarding Tantai Shuang's matter, let's discuss it after the Human Race leader arrives! After all, we don't know the Human Race leader's preferences. What if he likes this type?"
Tantai Zhan's face turned pale.
"Everyone, may I interject?" Chen Nan's voice rang out.
"Do you have the right to speak here?" a young man in his twenties, handsome and extraordinary, glared with anger.
His name was Tantai Gu, the son of Tantai Jian.
The future leader of the Black Mountain Tribe.
Of course.
He had another identity.
He was also a suitor of Tantai Shuang.
Unfortunately.
For so many years, Tantai Shuang had never paid him any attention.
He was very displeased.
If Tantai Shuang were truly sent to the Human Race leader, then so be it.
Even if he was displeased, he would not dare to compete with the Human Race leader for a woman.
But now.
Tantai Shuang had pledged herself to Chen Nan, and he was furious.
"What do you want to say?" Tantai Jian looked at Chen Nan with a nonchalant expression.
Chen Nan said, "Have you ever seen the Human Race leader?"
Tantai Jian replied, "Never, but he will soon arrive at our Black Mountain Tribe with the Human and Demon race powerhouses. Then we will be able to behold his supreme divine presence." His eyes were filled with longing as he wished to see the Human Race leader sooner.
Chen Nan was puzzled. "Since you haven't seen the Human Race leader, why are you sending a woman to him?"
"Why has he become a lecherous and depraved figure in your minds?"
"Are you sure he will like Miss Tantai if you send her to him?"
"Silence!" Tantai Jian roared. "The Human Race leader is the last hope of the Three Realms, a great hero destined for eternal fame. He bears so many responsibilities and missions, can't he have a few more women to relax?"
Chen Nan almost cried out.
If my women had such understanding, why would I not be able to have a harem and live a life of nightly revelry?
"Young man, you must be from the Taikang Tribe, right?" An elder said with a smile. "Your Taikang Tribe is the easternmost tribe in the Triple Heaven, so the information you receive will certainly be slow. This is understandable."
"However, I can tell you responsibly."
"He is a man with a broad mind like the convergence of a hundred rivers!"
"Yes."
"He is the prophesied one who can save the Three Realms and completely eradicate the alien demons."
"But is that really the case?"
"In my opinion, it is not. He also bears the heavy responsibility of sowing seeds."
"Do you understand what 'sowing seeds' means?"
"Therefore, it is only natural that we send the most outstanding women of our tribe to him, is it not?"
"Why does it sound like he is lecherous and depraved when it comes from your mouth?"
Tantai Jian looked at Tantai Shuang and said gently, "Shuangshuang, I know you don't want to be the Human Race leader's woman, but... this is an opportunity for our tribe!"
"You may not know, but it is not the Human Race leader who commands the Human and Demon realms now, but his woman."
"That woman is called Xuan Qingniao, and her strength is not very great."
"However."
"The Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger, the four hidden tribes, as well as the powerhouses from Niuniu Cave, Tutu Mountain, and Zhuzhu Den, all obey her."
"This is undeniable proof of how much the Human Race leader dotes on her. Otherwise, he would not give her such great authority."
"You are the most outstanding woman in our Black Mountain Tribe."
"If you can gain the Human Race leader's favor, our Black Mountain Tribe will truly rise!"
Seeing Tantai Shuang's expressionless face, Tantai Jian continued, "Even if you don't consider yourself, don't you have to consider your parents?"
He glanced at Chen Nan again. "Chen Nan is your savior, isn't he? Although you two could elope, have you ever thought that this world will eventually be ruled by the Human Race leader?"
"Have you ever considered your situation then?"
"Will there still be a place for the two of you in this world?"
Tantai Shuang's heart trembled violently.
She knew the clan leader was threatening her.
But she could not refute him.
If the Human Race leader truly ruled the Triple Heaven.
Even if she and Chen Nan eloped, their fate would be miserable.
"Daughter, just go along with it. That is the Human Race leader, the savior of the Three Realms, a great hero in the hearts of countless people." At this point, Wu Mei looked at Chen Nan again, her eyes filled with displeasure. "Look at this brat. Besides having a decent appearance, what else does he have?"
"How can he compare to the Human Race leader?"
Tantai Shuang let go of Chen Nan's arm and said indifferently, "You don't need to persuade me. I know what to do!" With that, she resolutely walked towards the tribe.
"Father, Chen Nan saved Shuangshuang. By rights, he is a distinguished guest of our tribe. We should invite him into the tribe and hold a banquet to entertain him!" Tantai Gu's voice suddenly rang out.
Although he had a smile on his face.
Chen Nan could still feel the hostility in his heart towards him.
Tantai Jian thought for a moment and said, "My son's words are indeed wise. Little friend Chen saved Shuangshuang, and he is a benefactor of our tribe."
"Furthermore, we will soon be following the main force to the Taikang Tribe."
"If Little friend Chen doesn't mind, would you stay in our Black Mountain Tribe for a day or two, and then we can travel east together?"
"Alright!" Chen Nan agreed with a single word.
He had come to the Black Mountain Tribe to gather with the main force and discuss the details of the final battle anyway.
He certainly would not leave.
Seeing Chen Nan agree to stay, Tantai Gu was overjoyed and stepped forward, saying, "I feel like I've known Brother Chen for a long time. Let me be responsible for arranging his daily life!"
Tantai Jian nodded slightly. "You must take good care of Little friend Chen."
"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely take good care of Brother Chen." Tantai Gu put his arm around Chen Nan's shoulder and walked towards the tribe, introducing the tribe's situation, how many people, how many experts, and so on.
After they had moved away from the crowd.
Tantai Gu revealed a fierce look. "Chen, do you know that I find you extremely displeasing?"
