Chapter 73 Political Marriage
"Then you refused?" Steele asked curiously, and then put his hands on Xu Yi's shoulders again.
The white and delicate but powerful fingers like onions, coupled with the skillful technique, combined with Steele's unique invention of the miniature whirlwind magic massage, made Xu Yi feel his whole body relaxed all of a sudden, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction. groaned.
After humming and chirping a few times comfortably, Xu Yi often let out a sigh of relief and replied, "Of course I refused. Don't tell me you want me to marry an elf wife?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." Steele smiled slightly: "Elf girls are so beautiful, and their personalities are more straightforward and easy to get along with than ordinary human girls. For example, Yanis is very good. By the way, why don't you just ask Elder Elsia to marry Yanis, anyway, Yanis often says that she likes being with you very much, I think if you want to marry her, she should not Will object. And if it's her, it's easy for the rest of us to get along with her, isn't that great?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Yi glanced at her angrily. "Don't be kidding, okay, I'm a human being, how can I really marry an elf girl. Besides, I already have your wife, so I won't marry another woman." "I have nothing against you Marry a few." Steele leaned on Xu Yi's shoulder, chuckled in his ear and said, "Anyway, I'm very busy now, and I don't have much time to accompany you. If Liz and Linda can be with you, You don’t have much to communicate with, so it’s not a bad thing to have more wives to accompany you, isn’t it?”
Xu Yi frowned and looked at Steele: "Are you telling the truth? Don't forget, you are my only wife now. I don't believe that you really want me to marry more wives back."
"Of course...it's a lie." Steele grinned. "Of course I hope that you only belong to me. I only pretend to be one of you in my heart. But... this kind of thinking is too selfish. With your current status, if you can only have one woman, it will cause many people to criticize you My jealousy is too serious. Even my grandfather told me that you are the only one left in your family. In order to make this family grow stronger, you should have more women and have more children. .”
"Is this using me as a stud?" Xu Yi frowned, grabbed Steele's hand on his shoulder, and tugged her. Pulling her in front of him, staring into her eyes, he said seriously: "Don't worry about what others say, Steele, I just need you to tell me, do you like to be like this? Tell the truth!" Steele slightly Avoiding Xu Yi's eyes, he paused, and sighed softly: "Of course I don't want anyone to share you with me, but Grandpa is right, and so are the others. I..."
"I've said it before, don't worry about other people's thoughts. As long as you don't want to, it's enough." Xu Yilian said seriously: "Although I am a normal man, I have thought about pouring countless beauties into my arms, but as a A man must be responsible for his wife. You are my wife, so I will always take care of your thoughts first. It doesn’t matter what happens to the rest of the women. In fact, if you don’t insist or condone, even It's Liz and Linda, and I won't touch half of their fingers, do you believe it?"
Steele stared blankly at Xu Yi for a while, then nodded slowly, his eyes were already hazy.
"I believe. Xu Yi, you are such a person. You are different from most men in this world. Evita and Akali are right, they can meet you and become husband and wife with you, It's my luck." …
"You said it the other way around. It's my luck to meet you." Xu Yi smiled and pinched Steele's pretty face. "So don't think about it, I am satisfied with only one wife of you, and I have no interest in marrying a few more. What's more, a marriage like Elder Elsia and Elder Lisanya has obvious transactional and political implications Proposal, I am even less interested, even disgusted."
Hearing Xu Yi's unceremonious comments, Steele froze for a moment and woke up from the emotion.
"You said...Elder Elsia and Elder Lisanya want you to marry an elf girl, is it a proposal with transactional and political implications?" Steele frowned slightly. "They are elves, would they do such a thing?"
"The elves are not really as non-human as you imagine. If that was the case, they would never choose to cooperate with me." Xu Yi laughed. "And this is not my own conjecture, but a clear statement from Elder Elsia and Elder Lisanya."
"They told you that this is a marriage proposal with transactional and political implications?" Steele asked in amazement.
"Of course they won't be so blunt, but the two elders said it bluntly in front of me. The reason why they made this proposal is to deepen the connection between me and their two elf tribes. It is best if I can Give birth to offspring with the elven girls in their tribe, so that the two elven tribes can be more integrated into human society."
"It seems a bit wrong." Steele was a little puzzled. "Didn't the elves always look down on humans? The half-elves born from the combination of elves and humans are even more difficult in the elves than in humans. How could the two elders take the initiative to make this suggestion?"
"This is also a symbol of the changes they have made. The two elders said that if the elves want to fully integrate into human society and continue to survive on this continent, this is a step that must be taken. The other two human tribes None of the elves will accept it, and I am the only human who has been recognized by the elves of these two tribes, so I am the most suitable." Xu Yi explained.
"Is that so?" Steele frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "No wonder you feel that this proposal is full of transactional and political implications, because this is what the two elders do based on the overall consideration of the future development of the elves. The proposal was made without any consideration of emotional factors at all. I think... as long as you agree, maybe they will let you randomly choose elf beauties from the two tribes. How about it, Xu Yi. Are you moved? ?”
"Cut. Have I seen fewer elf beauties in the past two years? Don't say that Yanis often sees them. Even yesterday..."
Xu Yi suddenly stopped.
Even if he had no taboos in front of Steele, he was still ashamed to say that he faced Elder Alusia and Elder Lisanya naked yesterday.
But as the hostess of this manor, how could Steele not know what happened yesterday? Seeing that Xu Yi suddenly got stuck, he immediately understood what he wanted to say, and covered his mouth and started laughing.
"What? Xu Yi? Could it be that you don't like those ordinary elf girls, but the two elders?"
Seeing Steele's eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile, Xu Yi patted her butt angrily. He said in a low voice, "What nonsense! That's enough, this is the end of the discussion on this matter. Anyway, I won't agree, and you should stop thinking about it, you know?"
Steele rubbed his buttocks that hurt a little from Xu Yi's hard slap, and said with a light smile: "I saw the way the two elders looked at you when they left, I'm afraid they won't give up so easily. The elves are famous Since the two elders have already made a decision, and because of such an important reason, they will definitely try their best to achieve their goal.”…
Xu Yi snorted coldly: "I just don't agree. Can they still force me? They can't send a few elf girls to rape me, can they?"
Steele pursed his lips and smiled: "That might be."
Xu Yi glared at her and thought for a while. He got up, put on his clothes, and walked out the door.
"What are you going to do now? Don't you hurry up and take a good rest?" Steele asked in surprise.
"I suddenly remembered something, and I don't have time to rest." Xu Yi raised his hand. "If there is anything, use the magic communicator to contact."
After that, Xu Yi left the manor straight away, got into the magic car, and drove to the newly built administrative center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the territory.
Xu Yi directly found Kennard and asked him to list all the cooperation projects between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Elf Clan.
"Master President, you see, our chamber of commerce is currently mainly cooperating with the Yege tribe, including the Yege plastic processing factory that is independently responsible for the production and operation of the Yege tribe and only sells through the sales channels of our Xinfei chamber of commerce, as well as our The two parties jointly built a tire processing factory with partial technical support from the Ye Song tribe. In addition, many elves from the Ye Song tribe take up some positions in other factories of our chamber of commerce, which can be regarded as a part of the cooperation project."
"What about the Moon Shadow tribe?" Xu Yi asked.
"The cooperation with the Moon Shadow Tribe is relatively less, mainly focusing on the fertilizer processing plant. However, the sales of fertilizers have been rising sharply in the past two years. In terms of the amount of cooperation involved, it is no more than our chamber of commerce and Yege There is poor cooperation between clans."
"Then can you count the specific amount of money involved in our current cooperation with the Yege tribe and the Moonshadow tribe?" Xu Yi asked again.
Kennard frowned slightly: "This is not too specific statistics, but according to last month's financial statement, the total amount of projects involving the Nightsong tribe and the Moonshadow tribe should be close to half a million gold coins. Our Chamber of Commerce The profit from these projects is about 100,000 gold coins."
"Then the nightsong tribe and the moon shadow tribe's profit is almost 100,000 gold coins?"
"According to the agreement signed by both of us, there should be more than us, between 150,000 and 200,000 gold coins."
Hearing this answer, the expression on Xu Yi's face became a little strange.
The total monthly profit of the Nightsong and Moon Shadow tribes from the cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is less than 200,000 gold coins, but it is enough to make Elder Elsia and Elder Lisanya let go of the elves' restraint. Not only offered Xu Yi help in improving his magical power, but even wanted him to marry an elf girl.
Looking at it this way, these elves are actually not as arrogant as in the legend.
If the two elf tribes get more profit from it, is it really possible for these elf tribes to work for him?
