Night fell quickly and the banquet began.
Even though Freyr's resources were scarce and hundreds of people were willing to die for food, they didn't hesitate to hold a banquet. Because food was precious, they should eat to their heart's content when they were happy and celebrating. Delicious food and the happiness of having a full stomach would motivate everyone to work harder and fight harder so that the next banquet could come faster.
Therefore, the food at the banquet was delicious. Even though the meat soup was bland and had a faint fishy smell, it was still much better than the pot of corpse water that Oudir and Li Ke cooked together. However, Li Ke observed Oudir and realized that there wasn't much difference between the two. He ate like a maniac and didn't care about his image at all.
Moreover, looking at the way he ate, one would feel that these things were really delicious.
Li Ke sat near Oudir and Sejuani, warming himself by the fire and quietly eating his food while waiting for everyone to leave.
But when the banquet ended, Oudir left for a while and Sejuani came over to give Li Ke a pot of wine before returning to her tent. Only Li Ke and a night watchman were left behind.
The night watchman was very quiet and Li Ke also had a lot on his mind. Therefore, when the night watchman arrived, the night watchman automatically left and left them alone.
"Oudir told me that you don't understand the meaning of the oath father and the blood alliance. But it doesn't matter. Your performance will earn you a position in the blood alliance no matter where you go. You will be qualified to make me pregnant and give birth to a powerful heir."
The night watchman was Sejuani. She wasn't wearing her armor. Instead, she wore a light cotton dress that revealed part of her snow-white arms and neck. She was holding a pot of steaming wine and two cups in her hands.
"It's good that you understand. I thought you would be angry when I saw Oudir's reaction."
Li Ke was a little surprised. But after seeing Sejuani's calm face, he felt that it was a good thing. After all, it was really awkward for him to say such things.
"A little, but an oath is an oath. Since you made a promise, then you should fulfill your oath. Or do you think that I'm unbearable to look at? Or do you think that I'm not worthy to be your wife?"
Sejuani said calmly, but the meaning behind her words showed that she didn't intend to give up on this matter.
"Because I want to go home. I don't belong here, Sejuani."
Li Ke explained his reason, but Sejuani curled her lips in disdain.
"Ice Bloodline to say that you don't belong to Freldrod? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard, Li Ke. It's useless even if you don't want to admit it. The power of ice in your body fully proves your identity. You're an Ice People, and the strongest male Ice People I've ever seen. The power of ice in your body has just been stimulated by the ice, and you can make it stir up a storm around you. This proves that you have a noble and powerful Ice Bloodline! If you and I combine, I can give birth to an even stronger Ice Bloodline than you and me! The strongest Ice Bloodline in history! "
Sejuani was very excited as she spoke, but Li Ke didn't feel any love or 'like'. Moreover, Sejuani didn't hide her intentions. She wanted to use marriage to bind Li Ke, make Li Ke work for her, help her strengthen her tribe, and make her power and influence stronger. Therefore, Li Ke made his attitude clear to Sejuani.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think the oath I made is effective without knowing the details. Besides, I promised to be the adoptive father of your child! Not anything else! "
However, Sejuani didn't seem to think that Li Ke's disagreement had any effect. She calmly poured a cup of warm wine for herself and Li Ke, then handed one of the cups to Li Ke.
"I'm sorry too, but you agreed to be an oath father and a blood oath."
She smiled gently, but her beautiful face made Li Ke feel a wave of annoyance.
"I know it's hard to accept, but I can swear that unless someone can defeat you or gain your approval, I won't make an oath with anyone else to be my blood oath partner."
The young Zhan Mu downed the wine in the cup in one gulp, then smiled at Li Ke and continued to offer her price.
"How is it? My conditions are not bad, right? You must know that as a Zhan Mu, I will be laughed at if I only have one blood oath partner for a long time. "
The fact that the Matriarch was able to subdue or accept the loyalty of the Blood Alliance members was a testament to her and her tribe's strength to a certain extent. These Blood Alliance members would also be her most loyal warriors and subjects. They would take care of everything in her life and fight alongside her on the battlefield, sacrificing their lives for her. What these blood oath partners could obtain was that the Zhan Mu would give birth to children for them. If it was a daughter, they might even see their daughter become the Zhan Mu of the tribe. Their sons were a bit lacking and were destined to become warriors. However, the outstanding ones could also become land leaders and lead the furnace owners to assist the ice vein warriors in battle.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept this. I can make it up to you in other ways, but I can't marry you. Because I don't understand you at all, and there's no love between us. The relationship between you and me is just mutual need. Now that this relationship has ended, I will leave your tribe soon and head to other places to look for my hometown. "
He only drank a little wine, and when he saw that Sejuani's expression was still calm, he continued to speak. He didn't immediately restrain Sejuani to prevent her from attacking him.
"But during this period, I will work in exchange for food and shelter here, so you don't have to worry about me being a freeloader."
Sejuani's attention didn't seem to be here. She only turned back to Li Ke a long time after Li Ke finished speaking.
"Then it seems that I still have a chance to make you stay. As long as you are willing to stay before you leave, it's fine. Do you think I understand correctly?"
Sejuani raised the wine cup to Li Ke, and her smile gradually became confident.
"I don't think it's possible."
Li Ke also raised his cup and drank the wine with Sejuani.
"Then let's wait and see."
After Sejuani finished drinking, she filled their cups again and then talked about other things. As for whether she could make Li Ke stay?
She had never failed, not now, not in the future.
