Chapter 294
It's no wonder Lin Zaozao described him that way, for the man lying on the carpet was not only exceptionally tall, but he also had a full beard covering his face, and the exposed skin was astonishingly dark.
It wasn't truly black, but rather seemed to be intentionally coated with some kind of tincture, making his skin as dark as charcoal.
When Ji Fantian approached this "giant ape" to check his pulse, his own body appeared particularly petite.
The most captivating feature of this man was his eyes, black as crystals. At a glance, one could only see his dark pupils, with no hint of white.
"Fantian, who is he?"
Lin Zaozao was about to approach, but Gu Shan promptly grabbed her arm, preventing her from getting closer.
"Zaozao, don't go near him. There's a very strange aura around him," Gu Shan said coldly, frowning.
"A strange aura?"
Lin Zaozao looked at the man before her, puzzled.
Apart from his tall stature and unusually dark eyes, there didn't seem to be anything particularly special about him! As Lin Zaozao was scrutinizing the man, wondering to herself, the ape-like man spoke up first.
"Queen Mingzhu, I am a shaman from the Eighteen tribes beyond the border, and a good friend of Lord Han Ye. If you don't believe me, I have a letter from him here. Respected Queen Mingzhu, for Lord Han Ye's sake, please save my life. I cannot die now."
Upon hearing the man's plea, before Lin Zaozao could approach, Gu Shan stepped forward first and took the letter from the man's hand. After inspecting it, he handed it to Lin Zaozao.
"No traps!"
"This is the Demon Lord Gu Shan. He was supposed to die, but Queen Mingzhu forcibly changed his fate and even got him pregnant. This ability to forcibly alter fates is truly eye-opening!"
The shaman's words caused Lin Zaozao, Gu Shan, and Ji Fantian's expressions to stiffen slightly. Lin Zaozao first glanced at the shaman, then opened his letter.
The handwriting and seal on it seemed to be Lord Han Ye's. More importantly, Lord Han Ye and she had made an agreement that if they needed to correspond by letter, he would make a special mark on it.
Finding the mark, Lin Zaozao felt reassured. It seemed that the man before her was indeed Lord Han Ye's friend.
Putting away the letter, Lin Zaozao approached the shaman and took his hand, transferring his ailment to herself.
After transferring the ailment and giving him the cleansing elixir to drink, she also took three drops of beauty elixir for herself.
It seemed that her three drops of beauty elixir per day would not be enough. Otherwise, with her habit of saving people this way, she would inevitably regain her weight of 280 pounds.
Unconsciously, she looked at the random reward the Dog System had given her - either gain eight pounds or pass gas for three days.
Damn that Dog System! Why couldn't it change "gain eight pounds" to "lose eight pounds"?
In just these two days, she had already gained more than fifty pounds. Even her clothes were about to be burst open by her plump body.
After drinking the cleansing elixir and regaining his health, the shaman pushed aside the blanket covering him and stood up directly.Th/e most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n(.)co/m
When he stood up, Lin Zaozao, sitting opposite him, clearly saw that his head was touching the top of the tent.
Add that to his full beard, and he was truly a human version of King Kong!
"Queen Mingzhu, the tent is too small. Shall we go outside to talk?"
"Sure, sure!"
Lin Zaozao stood up and helped Gu Shan and Ji Fantian up from the ground, then led them out of the tent.
The shaman watched their departing figures, and a white light flickered rapidly in his jet-black eyes.
Truly worthy of being the great High Priestess!
Even those plagued by ill fate could easily dispel it just by being with her.
"No, I don't. To be honest, as long as the events of a previous life don't affect my current life, I have no interest in knowing about them. Knowing too much would only be a burden to me, without any benefit."
"Is that so? Then does Queen Mingzhu know that your husbands are deeply connected to your previous life? They went to great lengths to get close to you in this life. Most importantly, they have all regained their memories from their previous lives."
Hearing the shaman's words, Lin Zaozao turned to look at Gu Shan and Ji Fantian. After a brief pause, she tentatively asked:
"Gu Shan, Ji Fantian, in our previous life, surely we weren't sworn enemies who wished to annihilate each other's families!
You're not trying to get revenge by deliberately being with me, are you?"
Faced with Lin Zaozao's doubts, Gu Shan and Ji Fantian were immediately flustered. They both quickly raised their hands, prepared to swear a poison oath.
"Zaozao, our relationship in the previous life was definitely not enemies. If I'm lying to you, may I be struck by lightning from the heavens..."
"Same as Ji Fantian said, we weren't enemies. Truly, I can swear a poison oath. I..."
Quickly pulling down Gu Shan and Ji Fantian's hands, Lin Zaozao said helplessly, "Gu Shan, Ji Fantian, as long as you're not with me for revenge, that's fine. I don't care about the rest."
After comfortingly smiling at Gu Shan and Ji Fantian, Lin Zaozao turned to the sorcerer and said impatiently, "Sorcerer, just say what you want to say! If you keep beating around the bush and trying to sow discord, I won't play along anymore.
You look tall and imposing, why do you speak in such a meek and roundabout way? Is that interesting?"
"Alright, alright, I'll just say it directly.
Queen Mingzhu, I can help you conquer the eighteen tribes beyond the border. As an exchange, would you take me as your consort?"
Hearing the sorcerer's words, Lin Zaozao looked up at his long, bushy beard. The beard was so long, his stature so tall, and his muscles so well-developed...
Although Lin Zaozao wasn't exactly a great beauty, she could describe herself and this sorcerer as 'beauty and the beast'.
She and this sorcerer were a mismatched pair!
Most importantly, she was particular about looks and only liked handsome men. Although she didn't dislike ugly men, she had no intention of taking him into her harem!
"Well? Queen Mingzhu, will you agree to my condition and take me as your consort?"
"No way, you're too tall, too ugly, and too burly. I don't want to."
Lin Zaozao's blunt rejection immediately left the previously confident sorcerer dumbfounded.
"What, I'm ugly?"
The sorcerer pointed to his face, obscured by his beard, in disbelief.
"You don't think you're ugly? Your beard is even longer than my hair. If you closed your eyes and used your beard as hair, you couldn't even tell front from back.
Looking like that, how can you not be considered ugly?"
"Wh... What? My beard is ugly?!"
The sorcerer stroked his beard, his jet-black eyes filled with disbelief.
"Your beard, isn't it ugly?" Lin Zaozao weakly asked in return.
"Not ugly, of course it's not ugly. You, you..."
The sorcerer angrily paced back and forth, pointing his long arm at Lin Zaozao's nose as if to insult her, but was startled by Gu Shan's sword and immediately retracted his arm.
"Queen Mingzhu, it's such a waste that for two lifetimes you still haven't acquired an eye for recognizing beauty!
My long, thick beard looks as magnificent as a halberd. Such a beautiful beard highlights my imposing appearance and dignified bearing.
In the lands beyond the border, countless women have desired to be favored by me because of this fine beard, but I have rejected them all.
Yet here, my good-looking beard has apparently made me ugly in your eyes. Queen Mingzhu, you truly have no eye for beauty!"
