Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 789 I Want You to Be My Husband

The latest chapter is now available! Book lovers, hurry back!

Lu Yao quickly raised his hand above his head:

"I swear to the mountain god of Dahuan Mountain, your pants were up when I came over! If I'm lying, may the mountain god kill me with a falling rock!"

Lu Yao felt incredibly aggrieved after being wrongly accused by Mei Ping last time.

Despite her somewhat promiscuous nature, Lu Yaohua is very concerned about her reputation.

You can call him a hooligan or a pervert, but you can't call him sleazy. Peeping at girls in the bathroom is too degrading!

I would absolutely not do it myself.

Imana quickly pulled his arm:

"Oh, why are you making such a vow! You saw it, so what? I don't blame you!"

The little girl blushed.

It seems I can't clear my name of this crime.

At least Director Mei had a lynx as a witness back then, but now...

Lu Yao looked back at the horse, but it didn't say a word.

He quickly told Imana, "Little Mei is angry with me. She said I'm a womanizer. Don't mention this in front of her, or she'll think I'm not only a womanizer, but also disgusting."

Imana grinned, looking quite innocent.

"Okay, it's fine as long as it's just between you and me!"

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless. Let her think whatever she wants.

He quickly asked, "So, are you taking me back to the village right away? I need to explain things to Xiao Meizi."

Imana stared intently at Lu Yao:

"Tuwazi, do you really like Xiaomeizi... like the kind of person who wouldn't be afraid to die for her?"

Lu Yao nodded: "Yes. She's my wife now, and I have to protect her. It's not her fault she's angry with me; it's my fault for not being able to control myself. I have to coax her back."

Imana bit her lip: "Little Mei is so lucky. I wish I had a man like you to cherish me!"

Lu Yao smiled.

Reaching out, I pulled at her little braid:

"Girl, if you're in danger, I'd risk my life to protect you."

Imana's eyes remained lifeless.

"I don't want friends, I want men, the kind that are 'Etikan' (a euphemism for a man)."

Lu Yao asked, "What is 'Etikan'?"

"It means husband in Chinese."

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless again.

He was an experienced man; how could he not see that Imana was falling in love for the first time and secretly harboring feelings for him?

I could tell last time in the cave.

However, Lu Yao's feelings for Imana are purely those of an older brother.

Knowing she's innocent, I can't just mess with her.

Batu wanted to give her to him as his wife, but he didn't dare to accept her.

Although the Oroqen people are generally monogamous, the restrictions are not strict.

In order to continue the lineage, there were also cases where a man had several wives.

During this period, the law did not have much binding force on people living in remote mountain villages.

However, their approval doesn't mean Xiao Meizi approves!

This is no joke.

He made an indecent mistake and asked Xiao Meizi to forgive him, so he should go home and live a good life.

One Jing Youxiang and one Yuan Shumei are not enough. If another one, Imana, is provoked, Ding Mei will probably have to kill herself.

Looking at the beautiful, camellia-like foreign girl, Lu Yao could only smile faintly:

"Imana, you'll find someone you love sooner or later."

Imana, being a sensible child, immediately smiled and said:

"Yes, you're married to Xiao Meizi now, you should treat her well for the rest of your life. Let's go, let's go after her. But you can't say I was waiting for you. When we get to the village camp, I'll go back first."

"You pretended you went up there yourself!"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, let's go then."

"Yes, let's ride a horse!"

Imana led her team here to hunt, just to see Lu Yao.

Now that I've not only met him, but I can also ride on the same horse with him, I'm instantly filled with happiness.

He pulled the horse over, adjusted the saddle and stirrups, and leaped onto the horse with practiced ease.

Then he reached out his hand: "Come here, little country bumpkin, let me guide you."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Let me take you. Give me the stirrups."

"Can you ride a horse?"

"Look at me, see if I ride as well as you!"

Knowing that Ding Mei was in no danger, Lu Yao immediately felt relieved.

He shouldered his luggage, mounted his horse, and held Imana's petite body in his arms.

With a pull on the reins, the large white horse neighed and reared up.

Imana was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the horse's neck:

"Hey, you country bumpkin, don't play around like that! Snow White has a fiery temper!"

"Its name is Snow White?"

"right."

"Alright, Snow White, start running!"

Lu Yao slapped Bai Xue on the backside, and following the direction Imana indicated, the horse galloped away.

Night had fallen by then.

After crossing the plain, we climbed a hill and entered a forest.

Imana praised Lu Yao's horsemanship highly.

I knew Lu Yao was good at marksmanship and wrestling, but I never expected that he was also ten times better at horseback riding than me.

He is comparable to the strongest man in the tribe.

We rode horses for more than two hours.

We traveled faster on flat ground and slower on bumpy terrain; in these two hours, we covered dozens of miles.

We had already left the Great Ring Mountain; further north lay a vast wilderness.

Looking back, the towering Crouching Tiger Ridge was no longer visible in the moonlight.

Lu Yao was getting a little anxious:

"Imana, how far is your village? I think I've arrived at the address your father gave me last time."

Lu Yao knew that was the Sino-Soviet border.

"That far? Then why did you come all the way to Da Huan Mountain to hunt?"

Imana paused for a moment, then turned her head to the side:

"Guess why I came? I didn't even tell my dad."

"I don't know, why?"

"I miss you!"

The first sentence of the poem struck a chord with the heart.

A deep affection that is absolutely genuine.

If a city girl had said this, Lu Yao might have just laughed it off.

But the girl from this nomadic hunting tribe in the mountains spoke in a simple and unpretentious way.

It's all genuine emotion.

Lu Yao felt a little touched.

He was a romantic and carefree man to begin with, how could he resist such tenderness?

If it weren't for my obsession with Ding Mei, I would have dismounted and attacked her right then and there.

But not now.

No matter how tender the young girl was, Lu Yao could only offer an apologetic smile.

We don't even know why they went into the mountains; if they keep acting recklessly, they'll be too animalistic.

"I miss you too, Imana. How about you become my sworn sister, and we become sworn siblings?"

What does "sworn brotherhood" mean?

"It means we swear to God that we will share both joy and sorrow in this life."

"..."

Imana remained silent.

She wasn't thinking about being siblings with Lu Yao; she wanted to be husband and wife.

Just like that time I saw Morigen hugging and kissing a girl from the village by the lake, and...

But I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Lu Yao was also tired from running.

The white horse was reined in.

Jump down to catch Imana:

"Come on, let's get down and rest for a bit. Let's become sworn siblings!"

Lu Yao also wanted to use this relationship to restrain himself.

That way, neither of them will have any wild thoughts and won't do anything to betray Xiao Meizi.

Imana jumped down very reluctantly.

Lu Yao had already piled up three mounds of loose soil on the ground.

I found a few hard grass stems:

"We'll use the soil from our graves as an incense burner, stick grass as incense, and swear an oath of brotherhood before heaven, becoming sworn siblings..."

Lu Yao was in high spirits, but the lively Imana didn't respond.

Looking back, under the starlight, he saw Imana staring at him intently, with a few tears in her eyes.
