Lan Ling was surprised by this sudden question, but he wasn't.
He wasn't surprised because Lan Ling had already expected this outcome. After all, his military merits would eventually appear in front of Constantine as a clear number. After the shock, Constantine would definitely weigh the benefits behind this.
Lan Ling was surprised because he knew that Constantine hated him. Would he be willing to suppress his disgust and choose to buy him over?
Then it was time for Lan Ling to answer.
"Of course I'm willing. I've always dreamed of marrying Miss Ninian," Lan Ling answered without hesitation.
He wasn't a fool. He wouldn't lose a beauty after so many days.
It would also increase his power. More importantly, it would give him enough buffer time.
After all, his martial arts skills weren't high enough.
However, based on his understanding of Constantine, this matter wouldn't be so simple.
Constantine's eyes lit up when he saw Lan Ling agree so easily. He patted his back affectionately and said, "Good, good. It's like giving wings to a tiger if I can recruit you as my son-in-law. Sit, sit!"
He had already prepared an exquisite banquet.
Lan Ling sat down without hesitation and started gorging himself.
Ever since his rebirth, he had been eating terrible food. It had been a long time since he had tasted exquisite food.
Constantine looked at him with a very warm expression, and poured out the wine with much regret and enthusiasm. But after pouring out two glasses, he called out, "Fetch Nini."
Soon, Ninian walked in.
Her expression was calm, but her gaze was slightly complicated. The task of pouring wine was left to her.
Constantine said, "Lan Ling, say it again in front of Ninian."
Lan Ling grabbed her waist without hesitation and squeezed it lightly. "I'm willing to marry Miss Ninian."
This action made Constantine's eyes twitch, but he maintained his smile.
On the other hand, Ninian's body tensed up. She couldn't tell what she was feeling, but she cursed the bastard in her heart.
Lan Ling, you're not holding back at all. You're taking advantage of me right away. If it weren't for Constantine, your hand wouldn't be on my waist. It would be a little higher or a little lower.
"I'm so happy. Today is my happiest day." Constantine said, "Little Ling, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?"
"Of course," Lan Ling said.
He sighed with emotion. One's personality determined one's fate.
This chief, Constantine, had superior intelligence, scheming, and methods, but he lacked patience.
He was a person who had no patience in doing anything. Whether it was buying people's hearts or treating someone coldly, he didn't seem to have much patience. He often showed his emotions on his face. Most importantly, he did not have patience. If he wanted to bribe someone, he could not wait to speed up the process. There was no natural process at all.
If it were an ambitious person from a human nation, he would definitely get his daughter to seduce Lan Ling after the marriage was settled.
Then, he would hold a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days to deepen his relationship with Lan Ling.
When their relationship was good enough, he would call him Little Ling or something like that.
Constantine was different. When he expressed his goodwill, he hoped that you would accept it immediately. Then, he would immediately move on to the next stage. He had no patience at all.
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't understand these principles. It was just his personality.
For example, in order to get the young people to work hard in this battle, he actually shouted that whoever contributed the most would get to marry his daughter Ninian. Then, at the last moment, he would definitely cheat and not marry his daughter off. This fully demonstrated his trait of being eager for quick success and instant benefits.
"How about this, Little Ling …" Constantine raised his wine glass and said, "In this land, outsiders are looked down upon and ostracized. As my son-in-law, I can't let you be looked down upon. So, I'm willing to pay a huge price for you to change your race. "
"Change my race?" Lan Ling was stunned.
"Yes, change my race!" Constantine said, "You know, the hundreds of tribes within a radius of a few thousand kilometers are actually one race. They are the descendants of the ancient Rakshasa race. All outsiders will be ostracized. And the barbarian king has a very powerful shaman priest with him. He can help a person change his race and turn you into a Rakshasa. "
Lan Ling said, "My body will change? My bloodline will change? "
"No, your bloodline won't change." Constantine said, "It's just the appearance of your body. You will grow a Rakshasa tail and your face will still be your current face. Only your pupils will become bigger and your nose will become longer. But once you change your race, you won't be discriminated against. Of course, the price for changing my race will be huge. It will use up a large portion of my tribe's savings. But for you, I'm willing to do it. "
Lan Ling immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Chieftain."
Constantine continued, "Also, after you become my son-in-law, you will naturally be in charge of the tribe's elite troops. You can't lead that tattered foreign army anymore. You have to draw a clear line with the foreign army because you are a noble Rakshasa. As for the foreign army, leave it to Du Yan! "
Instantly, Lan Ling's heart skipped a beat.
Although Constantine wasn't patient enough, his scheming was top-notch.
No matter what he did, he would always maximize the benefits.
In his opinion, even if he couldn't marry Ninian, Du Yan would still be an obedient and loyal dog. He wouldn't be like Suo Mo, who would be in charge of the foreign army. That would be in Constantine's best interest.
Constantine was the only person Lan Ling could rely on to draw a clear line with the foreign army.
Constantine continued, "Of course, you have to publicly announce that you are leaving the foreign army and draw a clear line with Suo Mo. This is because we will be conquering the land within a 500-mile radius in the future. I don't want my son-in-law to be gossiped about, saying that he isn't a Rakshasa, that he is a lowly foreigner, that he is close to the human race, and so on. "
At this moment, Lan Ling could see Constantine's plan even with his eyes closed.
He wanted him to sever ties with Suo Mo and the foreign army, and he had to publicly announce it.
This way, Lan Ling's path of retreat would be cut off. All the foreign army would despise Lan Ling and despise him for being ungrateful.
This way, Lan Ling could only work for Constantine wholeheartedly.
Constantine had said that he wanted Lan Ling to be in charge of the tribe's elite troops.
Obviously, such troops existed. It was possible that Lan Ling would be in charge of more than 2,000 or 3,000 people.
However, there was no doubt that he was just a commander without an army. No one would really listen to his orders. Constantine's trusted aides would hold all the power in this army.
As for Lan Ling, his only role was to be Constantine's grim reaper on the battlefield. In every battle, he would kill more than 1,000 enemies.
This was in Constantine's interest.
Of course …
If he really did this, Lan Ling was confident that he would be able to completely control the 2,000 to 3,000 troops in a short period of time.
He was also confident that he could use Ninia's ambition to wantonly swallow the Chimera Tribe's power and expand his army.
If Suo Mo wasn't Lan Ling's uncle, Lan Ling might have really agreed.
But now …
Suo Mo was his only relative in the Savage World. For Lan Ling, he was willing to make a huge sacrifice.
There was also Dina. She was supposed to be on the battlefield, but she was taking care of the little girl at home.
Most importantly, the foreign army was Lan Ling's most important asset.
That's right, the combat power of the 1,000 foreign soldiers couldn't compare to the Chimera Tribe's elites. However, their spirit and loyalty were as precious as gold.
In the Chimera Tribe, even if Lan Ling really controlled three to five thousand elite soldiers, it was filled with mutual deception, self-interest, and betrayal.
This wasn't like the Raging Wave Kingdom, where Lan Ling had the support of the mutant king and Princess Jung Yeon.
This time, Lan Ling wanted to conquer the world and build his own empire. Therefore, the loyalty and purity of the troops were the most important.
To be honest, the 1,000 brothers of the foreign army were more important to Lan Ling than the 10,000 soldiers of the Chimera Tribe.
This was because they were the seeds of his future empire!
Suo Mo had cultivated this troop for more than 10 years. The essence, energy, and spirit of the troops couldn't be bought by money!
…
"How about it?" Constantine asked. "Draw a clear line between you and the foreign army and Suo Mo. Then, I will pay a huge price for you to change your race and become a Russian. You will marry my daughter, Ninia. This way, you will no longer be a lowly foreigner in the Chimera Tribe. You will be ranked fourth in the entire tribe. "
Lan Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There really wasn't a free lunch in the sky!
Next, the most dangerous moment had arrived.
His life and death were hanging by a thread. If he made any mistakes, he would be beheaded.
This wasn't a joke. It was real! If he made a mistake, he wouldn't just be offending Constantine. He would definitely die, and he would die immediately.
The moment to test his acting skills had arrived.
Then, he said in a trembling voice, "Chief, I've always wanted to stand out. That's why I'm working so hard in this battle. I'm also extremely infatuated with Miss Ninia … "
After saying that, he looked at Ninia with an infatuated and fiery gaze. He tried his best to release his mental power to tease Ninia's brain and stimulate her dopamine and hormones.
After taking a deep breath, Lan Ling said in a trembling voice, "Miss Ninia, you might think that I'm always going against you, flirting with you, and even humiliating you in public. This is different from Du Yan and the rest. They always look up to you like a goddess. They worship you carefully and don't dare to blaspheme you. But I bite you and pinch your butt … "
When he said that, Constantine's face twitched violently. He almost turned hostile.
"But I'm actually the same as them!" Lan Ling said with a fiery gaze, "I was head over heels for you the first time I saw you. I'm infatuated with you. I even dream about you at night. I have to get up to wash my pants every time I wake up."
At that moment, Constantine started to gnash his teeth. Ninia also glared at him fiercely. However, she felt a hot flush in her body.
Lan Ling continued, "There's only one reason why I'm so rude to you. It's to attract your attention. Others admire you crazily, chase after you, and worship you carefully. You're definitely sick of them. So, I'm going to use another method. I'm going to advance by retreating. I'm going to loosen the reins only to grasp them better. This way, I'll seem special. But my ultimate goal is still the same. I want you. I'm infatuated with you just like them. "
Then, Lan Ling took a deep breath and stared at Ninia with his mesmerizing eyes. "You can tell whether a person's feelings are real or fake with just one look. A woman's intuition is even more accurate. She can tell if a man really loves her with just one breath. I believe that you can already feel my feelings now. "
As he said that, he increased his Spiritual Power method again.
Not only did he stimulate Ninia's dopamine and hormones, but he even used some Spiritual Resonance Spell.
Unfortunately, he only knew a little about the Spiritual Resonance Spell. After all, it was a top secret of the Dragon Temple. Even Princess Jung Yeon didn't know much about it.
Under Lan Ling's method, Ninia clearly felt a strong wave of affection coming toward her.
It was as if it was real. It was like a warm spring breeze, but also like a blurred tipsy feeling.
But in any case, she clearly felt the strong affection. It was not inferior to Du Yan and the others. It was even purer.
What made her even more shocked was that her soul was responding.
Both her soul and body were longing for it.
She actually felt excited and sweet. Her body actually felt like it was filled with hope, and her whole body felt hot.
Obviously, she and Lan Ling were attracted and longed for each other on both sides.
Lan Ling said, "Why did I fight so hard in this battle, even risking my life and overdrawing my Spiritual Power? Why did Du Yan and the others see me as a thorn in their side and even try to assassinate me? It's because of the chief's words. Whoever has the most military merits can marry Miss Ninia. Everything I've done, I've done it for Miss Nini. Ninia, we're different from humans. Our emotions are completely based on smell. When we first see each other, we'll be attracted by the smell of each other's energy. Then, our hearts will beat wildly and our bodies will feel hot. "
With the support of Spiritual Power, Lan Ling's acting completely crushed the Oscar -winning actor. It made Ninia's soul tremble.
Lan Ling continued, "Ninia, I dream of marrying you. I can leave the foreign army, but I really can't sever my relationship with my uncle. He's my only relative in this world. He's the person who treats me the best in this world. If I sever my relationship with him for glory and wealth, how am I different from a beast? "
Then, Lan Ling looked at Constantine and said, "Chief, if I agree to your request today and sever my relationship with my uncle to marry Ninia, I might betray you for greater benefits in the future."
With that, Lan Ling's eyes were filled with tears. "I dream of marrying Ninia, but I can't betray my uncle!"
Lan Ling's performance came to an end, and it was just right.
Whether he could live or not would depend on his acting.
Constantine sighed and waved his hand, "You may leave first!"
Lan Ling retreated, leaving only Constantine and Ninia in the tent.
…
"Ninia, do you think he's telling the truth?" Constantine asked.
"I don't know," Ninia replied.
Constantine said, "Tell me the truth."
Ninia hesitated for a while before saying, "He's right about one thing. A woman's intuition is very accurate. I can tell at a glance if a man is telling the truth or lying. And when he said he liked me and was infatuated with me, I felt my scalp go numb and all my pores open up. That feeling was very intense. "
Constantine said, "His feelings for you should be true. It's just that he's more cunning and knows how to play hard to get."
Ninia said, "Besides, if he didn't want to marry me, he wouldn't have to risk his life on the battlefield. That would only put him in danger. He's a smart man, so he should know this. But in order to conquer you and make you marry me, he put his life on the line and overdrafted his Spiritual Power. He even attracted the pursuit of the daughter of the Wildhorse tribe's chief. "
Constantine nodded. "Yes, a person shouldn't be judged by what he says, but by what he does."
Constantine then looked at his daughter deeply. "Ninia, you're also attracted to him, right?"
Ninia fell silent.
Constantine said, "You hate this, but you're indeed attracted to him."
Ninia said, "What do you plan to do? Kill him? Or keep him? "
From Constantine's perspective, there were only two answers.
He could use Lan Ling to make him his son-in-law.
If he couldn't use him, he could only kill a monstrous genius like Lan Ling immediately.
Constantine said, "If Lan Ling wants to marry you, he has to be loyal to me unreservedly. That's why he has to break off all relations with the foreign troops and Suo Mo. Only then will he have no way out. Since he wants to marry you, he has to take advantage of the foreign troops. That's impossible. "
Ninia said, "But he has already refused to break off relations with Suo Mo. With his personality, it's very difficult to change. It's almost impossible to convince someone like him. "
Constantine asked, "Ninia, if you had to make the decision, what would you do? Keep him, give him a chance? Or kill him immediately? "
Ninia's eyes trembled. She took a deep breath and said, "Kill him!"
