Chapter 1081: 490: Engaged to Dina! Hellish Training!_3

Du Yan, Suo Mo’s adopted son, is his most outstanding disciple.

"Hmph!" Dina sneered, "Second Brother spends all day flattering Constantine, thinking he can marry his daughter and achieve instant glory. Maybe he’ll turn out to be another treacherous Goru."

"He won’t." Suo Mo said, "Although your Second Brother has a penchant for opportunism, he is still full of feelings toward me, you, and the Foreign Tribe Army."

"I think it should be entrusted to Lanling," Dina said. "After all, he is your nephew."

"Yes, he is my blood nephew. From the first moment I saw Lanling, I liked him very much." Suo Mo said, "But he has a certain madness about him, like a blazing flame. Following him might lead to unparalleled heights, or it might turn everything to ash. A complete and utter ruin."

Dina said, "I’ve always said, I would rather die a bold and glorious death."

Suo Mo nodded and said, "I understand. When I return, I will marry you to him immediately."

Dina’s face instantly flushed as she said, "Godfather, he doesn’t care for me."

Suo Mo said, "That’s not up to him. If I tell him to marry you, he will marry you. How many wives he takes afterward is your business. But your age is getting up there; your lifelong commitment must be finalized. And only if you marry Lanling will I have a valid excuse to refuse the young Chieftain. This matter cannot be delayed."

Dina’s heart raced as she answered tremblingly, "I will obey Godfather’s arrangements."

Suo Mo let out another sigh!

Truthfully, looking at it from another angle, Dina and his adopted son Du Yan were the ones who seemed most suited for each other.

Suo Mo had once said he would marry Dina to Du Yan. At that time, Dina furrowed her brows and her eyes revealed a complex expression, but she still agreed to marry Du Yan.

In Dina’s eyes, her godfather Suo Mo was her heaven and her earth. She obeyed every arrangement he made for her without question.

However, though Du Yan had feelings for Dina, he sought to marry the Chieftain’s daughter to quickly ascend to power. Thus, this marriage proposal ultimately fizzled out.

Suo Mo opened his eyes, took off the longevity lock he had been carrying, and handed it to Dina.

This longevity lock had been placed on him by his biological parents and bore his name, making it almost his only personal possession.

"Godfather, why?" Dina asked.

Suo Mo replied lightly, "This is my sole token. Let it remain with you. No matter if it is due to war or other reasons, should anything happen to me, it will be your responsibility to announce that I have entrusted the Foreign Tribe Army to Lanling."

Upon hearing these words, Dina immediately threw herself into Suo Mo’s arms and cried loudly, "No, Godfather, you will live a long life!"

"Haha..." Suo Mo rarely smiled and said, "Lanling is a wild one. The things he speaks of are beyond my abilities and imagination, and I do not agree with much of it. But... I respect him deeply. During my lifetime, I refuse to let anything change. But after I die, I wish to see change!"

"No, you will live a long, long life. You will!" Dina said.

"I believe that too," Suo Mo said. "You hope to see Lanling take command of our Foreign Tribe Army, don’t you? Then you must work hard for this. Do your best to help him grow strong. In the Barbaric Wilderness, strength is the ultimate measure of authority. Without immense power, he won’t be able to maintain his position. And his talent is extraordinarily astonishing, far beyond our comprehension."

"I will push him, relentlessly," Dina gritted her teeth and said. "Even if he hates me, I will strictly demand that he trains."

"Good. You may go now; there are still a few hours until nightfall," Suo Mo said.

"Yes," Dina replied.

...

After finishing their rough lunch, Dina approached Lanling and threw a set of clothes at him, saying, "Put on these clothes."

It was a coarse leather outfit, full of holes.

Without saying a word, Lanling put on the clothing.

Next, Dina packed heavy lead weights into Lanling’s garments. Instantly, Lanling’s load surpassed three hundred pounds.

"Starting today, I will put you through hellish training," Dina said. "You’re not allowed to complain or cry. If you fail, I will punish you and whip you. Even if you come to hate me, there’s nothing I can do."

Her face was stern, entirely different from before.

"Alright," Lanling said.

Then Dina handed Lanling a three-hundred-pound deadwood sword, and immediately his total weight burden exceeded six hundred pounds.

Although Lanling’s arm strength surpassed five hundred pounds, carrying over six hundred pounds on his entire body still felt immensely heavy.

"Today’s mission is to carry six hundred pounds, run twenty thousand meters, and swing the sword three thousand times," Dina said. "Only after completing this can you go to sleep. Furthermore, you are forbidden from using the Bloodline Power—you may only rely on your physical strength."

"Alright," Lanling said.

Then Dina took out a whip, saying, "Remember, if you collapse on the ground and refuse to move, I will truly whip you. Even if you hate me, I have no choice."

"Alright," Lanling said.

"Good, then let’s set off now," Dina said.

And so, Lanling carried over six hundred pounds on his body as he trudged along the rugged road, beginning the hellish training Dina had devised.

Dina held a whip and followed closely behind him, exiting the tribal gates.

Today, the gatekeepers were not the Foreign Tribe Army but the Samurai of the Chimera Tribe.

"Bah!" One of the tribal Samurai spat, the saliva landing squarely on Lanling’s back.

"Worthless foreign dog, going out to breed with wild mutts outside, are you?" After spitting, the tribal Samurai burst into hearty laughter.
