The moment Ta Huan's words left his mouth, the surrounding people instantly cheered. Lu An couldn't help but be startled when he saw this scene. After pondering for a while, he clasped his fists and said, "Sir, you've misunderstood. I'm only in charge of bringing Lady Ye Ling back. I still have to report back, so I'm afraid I can't stay here for long."
Reporting back was just an excuse; Lu An didn't want to stay here any longer.
Even though Lu An wouldn't reject these people, it didn't mean that he could accept them. After all, he was someone who grew up in the Eight Ancient Continents and was taught the rules and etiquette of the Eight Ancient Continents. Everything here made him very uncomfortable. Now, he no longer wanted to form a good relationship with the Temi people, nor did he want any rewards. He only wanted to leave.
"You're leaving?" Ye Ling frowned and asked.
The surrounding people quietened down and looked at Lu An. He nodded and said, "Yes.
Lady, please let my two friends out. The three of us will return together. "
"There are two more people?" Ta Huan was startled as he looked at his sister.
"Yes, I locked them up on the island," Ye Ling said. Then, she looked at Lu An, "The two of them are injured and need treatment. They also need to rest."
"After I bring them back to the Alliance, I will find a heavenly master to treat them," Lu An said directly. "There's no need for Lady to worry about that."
Seeing that Lu An was so determined to leave, Ye Ling's brows furrowed even more. Ta Huan looked at his sister and thought for a while. Then, he said loudly to Lu An, "You're a guest. If we don't make you stay for a few days, how can we show the hospitality of the Temi people? If word of this gets out, wouldn't we be laughed at?"
"That's right!" Someone at the side agreed, "No matter what, you have to stay for two or three days. Don't worry, we will bring your two friends over. We guarantee their safety!"
"..."
Lu An frowned when he heard the persuasion from the surrounding people. If he continued to refuse, he might anger these people. However, he really didn't want to stay here for another quarter of an hour.
Just when Lu An was about to open his mouth to refuse, Ye Ling suddenly opened her mouth. She looked at Lu An and spoke lightly, "Stay here for two nights. If you still want to leave after two nights, I will prepare a gift for you. If you try to run away in two days, then you're looking down on us Temi people. "
"…"
Lu An looked at Ye Ling seriously. Compared to before, this was a blatant threat.
With his strength, it was impossible for him to escape from the Temi people. Not to mention others, just Ye Ling's brother's strength was far superior to his.
Taking a light breath, Lu An nodded slightly and said, "It's a deal. I'll only stay for two nights."
Hearing Lu An's words, Ta Huan and Ye Ling both laughed. The surrounding people immediately clapped and cheered. Ta Huan said to Ye Ling, "I'll get someone to prepare lunch. Bring him around and see the environment."
"Okay." Ye Ling nodded. However, she thought for a moment and asked, "Where's mother?"
"Mother went to the chief's place." Ta Huan said, "She should be back tonight."
Ye Ling nodded and didn't say anything. She turned to Lu An and said, "Come with me."
Lu An frowned slightly but still followed her.
The two of them walked towards the forest. There were many small houses in the forest and many people outside. Half of them were playing with each other while the other half were flirting. The sounds of moaning were endless. Lu An even wanted to use the power he learned from the scroll to block his hearing.
"What do you think of this place?" Ye Ling asked Lu An as they walked. "What do you think?"
Lu An looked at Ye Ling. His brows didn't loosen as he said, "The customs are different. I can't get used to this place."
"That's why you want to escape?" Ye Ling smiled and said, "But you've already said it. You must stay here for two nights. Why don't I tell you about the customs of the Temi people so that you won't say the wrong thing in front of others?"
Lu An looked at Ye Ling. He didn't think that this woman would take care of his safety.
"First, I have to tell you that the Temi people can't do things casually." Ye Ling said softly, "This kind of thing needs the consent of the person. If you force someone to do it, it's a big crime here."
"If the consequences are serious, you can be executed directly." Ye Ling paused and looked at Lu An.
Lu An was slightly startled. He didn't expect that such an open-minded place would be so strict about this kind of thing.
"Second, we only have mothers here. We don't have fathers." Ye Ling continued, "Don't ask others who your father is. Do you understand?"
Lu An was startled. He didn't understand why, but he didn't want to ask. He just nodded. However, Ye Ling looked at Lu An's puzzled expression and explained, "Because we only know who our mothers are. We can't confirm who our fathers are."
Lu An was stunned. Only then did he understand the reason. Indeed, according to the style of the Temi people, it was normal not to know who their fathers were.
"Third, we don't allow incest here." Ye Ling said, "According to what you said, it's impossible to be a direct relative, but it doesn't matter if it's a collateral relative."
Lu An nodded. If this was the case, it would reduce the disgust in his heart.
"As long as you remember these three points, you won't make a mistake." Ye Ling said, "You're an outsider. It's not like there haven't been outsiders here before. Here, outsiders are very popular, because everyone wants to try the abilities of outsiders. If I wasn't by your side, I'm afraid that many women would have already invited you. "
"… …"
Lu An frowned. He didn't feel the slightest joy about this kind of thing. Only more and more disgust and resistance.
Ye Ling looked at Lu An's appearance and felt his emotions. Ye Ling suddenly stopped and approached Lu An. At the same time, she took off her clothes. Her clothes were very smooth, and her skin was even smoother. In an instant, it all slipped off.
"What, you don't think my body is beautiful?" Ye Ling said softly.
However, the answer she got was silence. She looked at Lu An who took a step back. His head was turned to the side and his eyes were closed. Her face became even colder.
"Miss, please conduct yourself with dignity." Lu An said in a deep voice.
Ye Ling frowned. She raised her hand, and the clothes on the ground rose up and she put them back on.
"You seem to be a gentleman." Ye Ling looked at Lu An and said indifferently, "Have you ever thought that rules and etiquette are not set by the heavens, but by people? Someone deliberately uses these rules to restrict humans, making them slaves under the rules, so that we can't experience true happiness and freedom? "
Lu An opened his eyes and looked at Ye Ling. "This one doesn't think so."
"Is that so?" Ye Ling sneered and said, "I'm willing to listen to your opinion."
"The reason why humans are different from ordinary animals and livestock is that humans have higher intelligence." Lu An's gaze was solemn as he said seriously, "I heard that the ancestors of humans were also a kind of animal. The fact that we can reach this level, have words, and have strength, is a sign of true progress."
"Just like how low-level animals eat feces, tigers and lions eat meat, people with greater intelligence and strength should have corresponding rules." Lu An looked at Ye Ling and said, "Even lions know how to protect their mates and children. They don't eat grass and don't mess around with other species. As a more powerful species, why are we still like this?"
With that, Lu An's gaze became even more solemn. He said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but sometimes the so-called freedom is not progress, but the regression of a species."
Upon hearing Lu An's words, Ye Ling's expression became even colder. If Lu An had only rejected the actions of the Temi people before, then his words just now revealed his true thoughts.
In his heart, he looked down on the Temi people.
Even if he said that he would not slaughter the Temi people because of their style, and she believed this, he still looked down on the Temi people in his heart.
It would be strange if he did not get angry when faced with people who looked down on him.
However, to Lu An's surprise, he thought that Ye Ling would be angry and attack him after saying what he had just said, but to his surprise, Ye Ling did not do anything.
After thinking about it, Lu An took a light breath and relaxed his brows. He said, "Just now, it was just my personal opinion. I also respect the habits and customs of the Temi people, but I also hope that you can respect my habits and not force me to do things that I don't like."
Upon hearing Lu An's words, Ye Ling still did not speak. The two of them stood in the forest and looked at each other for a long time, attracting the attention of many people in the forest.
Finally, after a long time, Ye Ling finally moved. She looked at Lu An and said, "What you said is very good and seems to make sense. I'm becoming more and more interested in you. I'll take you to see someone. If you can remain calm, I promise that no one will disturb you for the next two days. "
