The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 110 - 107: Kidnap Chu Yan to be the Bridal Groom

Chapter 110: Chapter 107: Kidnap Chu Yan to be the Bridal Groom

"Sure, go ahead," Qin Zhao agreed, as she was eager to know what kind of secrets the Gulan Clan really had.

Why was it that she felt danger?

And why would a young boy run into the deep mountains in the middle of the night?

"If you insist on looking for someone here, don’t let him go out," Lan Xi pointed at Chu Yan, her expression grave.

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why not?"

"There is no why; you’d better not go out," Lan Xi clearly didn’t want to elaborate.

"Fine, then what is your request?"

"When you leave, take me and my mother with you," Lan Xi said, and after a moment of silence, she couldn’t help but add, "There really aren’t any outsiders here, and I think it’s best if you leave tomorrow. The Gulan Clan doesn’t welcome outsiders."

"Then why did you bring us here?"

"Because I wanted to come back too, but I was afraid of running into wild beasts on the way, so I came with you.

And since you’ve already come in, there’s nowhere else to stay near our clan’s land; we can’t leave you in the woods all night."

Qin Zhao thought for a while and said to him, "I’ll ask the others tomorrow, and if they haven’t seen Kang Youfu, we’ll leave. By the way, are there any graves nearby here?"

"Yes, we found one a few days ago."

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan glanced at each other; it seemed they had found the right grave.

"Can you take us to see it tomorrow?"

Lan Xi nodded and then left their room.

Chu Yan stepped forward to close the door, his voice filled with puzzlement, "Why shouldn’t I go out?"

"I don’t know. Then just stay at Lan Xi’s house."

After all, searching for the Dragon Horn didn’t require Chu Yan’s help.

Qin Zhao took off her coat and crawled into the quilt.

She placed a dagger under her pillow, and one under Chu Yan’s as well.

Lan Xi seemed harmless, but who knew if they would encounter any other surprises?

After all, even Lan Xi himself had said that their place was a bit strange.

And thinking back on Lan Xi’s words and the peculiar appearance of Lan Xi and his mother, Chu Yan couldn’t help feeling worried, "Are you going to the grave alone tomorrow?"

"No, Xiao Teng will come with me."

"Just the two of you, I’m not too comfortable with that."

"What do you have to be uncomfortable about? I can beat ten of you."

A twitch played at the corner of Chu Yan’s mouth.

As for the little Tengshe, the infant was already fast asleep beside him.

This Snake Demon really was carefree.

The next day, Qin Zhao was awoken by loud voices.

When she checked the clock, it was just after five in the morning.

"Lan Xi, did guests come to your house last night?"

"Yes, a few people from outside."

"Were there any men?"

"No, just a woman with a child."

"What would she be doing in our mountains with her child?"

"She seems to be from the town, probably wants to tell us to move out again."

"A female official from the town? We should inform the Clan Leader to treat them well."

Previously, town officials had visited, mentioning the poor living conditions and suggesting the Gulan Clan move out. The government would provide housing subsidies and assist with employment.

But the Gulan Clan refused to move. They had lived here for generations, had their own beliefs, and tribal rules.

Leaving meant betraying their faith and ceasing to be members of the Gulan Clan.

The inquiring clan member had a really loud voice.

It didn’t take long for the neighbors to learn of the guests at Lan Xi’s house.

And that there was a female official from the town.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock at the door.

Qin Zhao was about to get up, but Chu Yan beat her to it.

He had also been awoken by the loud voices.

It was Lan Xi who knocked. Upon seeing Chu Yan answer the door, his face changed instantly.

Lan Xi pushed Chu Yan forcefully, whispering, "Get back inside, don’t come out!"

He couldn’t budge Chu Yan but Chu Yan retreated into the room after hearing his words.

After entering, Lan Xi quickly closed the door behind him, earnestly warning, "You must not go out; don’t let those people see you. If they do, it would be the end of us!"

Qin Zhao said with a grin, "Could it be because he’s too handsome that your tribespeople would want to keep him as their trophy husband?"

"No, it’s even worse than that."

Lan Xi’s little face was taut, not at all joking.

"Then why are you cross-dressing as a woman?"

Qin Zhao blurted out a question and Lan Xi’s complexion changed dramatically.

His little cheeks turned deathly pale.

"How, how did you know?"

Chu Yan looked at Lan Xi in surprise, having not seen at all that he was a boy.

The people outside had called him, also referring to Lan Xi as the little miss.

"You’re very convincing in disguise, ordinary people can’t tell, but I’m no ordinary person."

Lan Xi nervously said to Qin Zhao, "Then you can’t tell anyone else, just pretend I’m a girl! I’ve been living like this for more than a decade, I can’t blow my cover now.

And, and I even reminded you yesterday, you can’t betray me!"

Qin Zhao said with amusement, "We won’t blab, don’t be so anxious."

He took a breath of relief, then added, "I told someone earlier that you’re a lady official from the town, you should tell others the same. That identity is relatively safe around here."

"What kind of danger would there be otherwise?"

Lan Xi looked at Chu Yan, "If he’s not discovered, there won’t be any danger."

If his disguise was uncovered, they might hesitate to do anything to him because of his supposed status as a lady official from town, right?

Lan Xi could only cling to such a hope, also wishing that these people could take him away from here.

The reason he appeared in the deep mountains wasn’t to catch rabbits.

But because he wanted to leave the Gulan Clan, yet having never been outside, he got lost in the mountains.

By night, he had sadly found himself back at the Gulan Clan.

After sharing all this, Lan Xi went out.

But he left very cautiously, afraid that opening the door too wide might allow others to see Chu Yan.

Qin Zhao scratched his head in confusion and then stared at Chu Yan for a while.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I’m genuinely curious why, why don’t you go out and take a walk?"

Chu Yan was a bit resigned, "Are you hoping I get kidnapped?"

"That won’t do, if you get kidnapped, who will cook for me?"

"...."

Chu Yan suddenly felt like he had married a rice bucket?

Looks, figure, money, couldn’t she see all his advantages? All she knew was to eat!

Qin Zhao hadn’t been so obsessed with food before because she could go without eating.

After Chu Yan started making meals with a variety of flavors for her, she would go to bed each night thinking about what to eat the next day.

She had to admit, eating really was a joy.

If she ever divorced Chu Yan, she would definitely have to hire a five-star chef!

"Stay here today, and I’ll go out for a walk."

Qin Zhao went out with Tengshe, curious to see what was odd about the Gulan Clan!

She had just stepped out of Lan Xi’s house when the nearby neighbors looked at her.

Qin Zhao’s clothes were different from those of the Gulan Clan, clearly showing she was from outside.

Without informing Lan Xi, she had taken Tengshe for a stroll in the vicinity.

At last, she discovered something very strange.

The Gulan Clan had no men?

She roamed for quite a while and saw only women.

Could it be that the men were hunting in the mountains?

Qin Zhao found it strange but returned to Lan Xi’s house first.

Lan Xi was holding a big basket, filled with the Gulan Clan’s special delicacies.

"My mother made you breakfast."

Qin Zhao nodded, and they entered the room together.

Closing the door, the room’s light dimmed, the curtains still drawn.

Qin Zhao directly asked Lan Xi, "Where are the men of the Gulan Clan? I just took a look around and saw only women; how come there isn’t a single man?"

Lan Xi almost spilled the food from his hands.

After steadying the dishes, he said with a wry smile, "There are no men. I’m the last one."

He didn’t really count as a man yet, being only sixteen, just a teenager.

Qin Zhao initially thought the men might be off hunting in the mountains, but as it turned out, there really were no men.

Then she thought, that’s impossible.

Without men, how would their tribe have continued to this point?

Surely they couldn’t just find a man to get pregnant, run back to give birth, and keep living here?

Moreover, among the children born, there had to be boys, right?
