Superpower Small Farmer

The Green Hill Fox had not yet transformed into human form, but unlike other wild beasts, it stood upright on its hind legs, resembling a human.

Under Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze, the Green Hill Fox lowered its head shyly like a maiden, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Young Hero Wang, actually, the reason Bai Ze and I helped you was due to Qingqiu's suggestion," Qingshui said meaningfully, also being honest.

Wang Xiaoqiang was surprised and immediately cupped his hands towards Qingqiu, saying, "Miss Qingqiu, with noble character and generous spirit, thank you for saving us. Please accept my bow."

"No need for courtesy." Green Hill Fox felt greatly surprised upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang refer to her as 'Miss,' and felt a wave of sweetness. Until now, no one had addressed her this way, after all, she was still a wild beast, not a human.

At this moment, Bai Ze flipped his hand, took out a Brocade Box, opened it and presented it to Wang Xiaoqiang. His gaze turned to Xia Sanwa, who was in True Person of Taiyi's arms, and said, "Your relative must be distressed and his soul and spirit disturbed. This is a Revival Pill; quickly give it to him, and I assure you, he will recover in three days..."

Seeing six grey pills in the Brocade Box, Wang Xiaoqiang took them, took out one, and administered it to Xia Sanwa. Bai Ze arranged accommodation for the three, and True Person of Taiyi immediately took Xia Sanwa to a room to rest.

Wang Xiaoqiang noticed that although Bai Ze Royal Mansion was just a Cave Abode, its space was particularly large, with winding corridors and numerous rooms throughout, like a maze. It was well-equipped with food, clothing, and all necessities. Moreover, the rooms were clean, tidy, and filled with a faint, pleasant fragrance, soothing to the soul.

The rooms Bai Ze arranged for them were spacious and luxurious, seemingly prepared to VIP standards.

After arranging the rooms, Bai Ze hosted a banquet to entertain Wang Xiaoqiang and True Person of Taiyi.

After the food and wine were served, Wang Xiaoqiang and True Person of Taiyi sat, with Bai Ze and Qingshui joining them. Wang Xiaoqiang noticed Green Hill Fox was not present and asked Bai Ze Couple, "Where's Qingqiu? Why isn't she here?"

Surprised by Wang Xiaoqiang's inquiry about Qingqiu, Bai Ze Couple looked at each other. Bai Ze replied, "Uh, Qingqiu isn't coming, so as not to disturb your appetite..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "How can you say that? Miss Qingqiu saved me so graciously, I wish to return the favor by raising a toast to her at this table..."

Bai Ze Couple, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's earnest demeanor and sensing it was not mere courtesy, felt extremely gratified. They thought Wang Xiaoqiang was grateful and did not disdain Qingqiu for being a wild beast, proving Qingqiu's affectionate gesture worthwhile, and thus they summoned Qingqiu.

Qingqiu had not gone far, staying in a room near the dining area, and upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words, felt deeply gratified.

She emerged gracefully and approached the table. Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang solemnly stood up and held his glass to toast her.

Naturally, Green Hill Fox did not use hands to eat, as she had none, only four hooves, but her four hooves contained mana.

With a wave of her front hoof, immediately a wine glass on the table flew up and landed before her, with not a single drop spilled in the process.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang put aside his own glass, waved his hand, and with immortal power, controlled the other glass to traverse the sky, crossing over the table to lightly clink against Green Hill Fox's glass, saying, "Cheers."

As he spoke, he beckoned, the wine glass flew back to his mouth, and he gulped it down. Green Hill Fox, using her mana, brought her glass to her mouth and downed it in one go too.

After drinking, before Wang Xiaoqiang could sit down, Bai Ze stood up and said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Young Hero Wang, we in the Beast Race have a custom where maidens never drink with people. The first cup of wine for a maiden is meant to share with her future husband. This first cup is the wine of commitment, called 'a cup of affection'..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang was so shocked he couldn't sit down, while True Person of Taiyi was dumbfounded, wearing a wry smile. He thought that this first cup of affection directly defined Wang Xiaoqiang, who had peculiar tastes but surely wouldn't engage in human-beast relations, right?

"Father, this is outdated folklore! Bringing it up now is bound to scare the guests. That kind of joke isn't funny."

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang and True Person of Taiyi's uneasy expressions, Qingqiu realized they were frightened and immediately comforted them. Indeed, the Beast Race has a saying about the maiden's "one cup of affection." However, this rule is so ancient it's rarely followed anymore, and Qingqiu never imagined her father would use it to tease Wang Xiaoqiang, leaving her feeling very embarrassed.

At this moment, Qingshui laughed, "This custom may be a bit old, but it does exist, and Qingqiu, you should know that we are not ordinary Beast Race. Your father is the King of Barren Mountain, known far and wide. Since this happened, it has to be by the rule..."

This isn't a forced marriage, is it?

True Person of Taiyi pursed his lips, about to protest when Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at him, making him swallow his words.

Qingshui said, "Of course, we won't force Young Master Wang, since Young Master Wang was unaware of our Beast Race customs. If Young Master Wang disagrees with this match, then everyone present must keep it secret, as if the whole incident never happened, ensuring there's no claim of breaking Beast Race customs outside... right?"

Wang Xiaoqiang sat down and smiled, "This matter is indeed sudden, leaving me a bit unable to react. Let me consider it and give a reply, how about that?..."

Feeling angry, Qingqiu glared at her parents and said, "They are old-fashioned and rigid. Young Master Wang, don't be upset, and don't listen to them. Consider this incident not happening..."

"Yes, Young Master Wang," I've already said we won't force you. If you disagree, we'll pretend we didn't mention it. But since the custom is still there, everyone must keep it confidential..." With that, Qingshui's gaze turned to her daughter, eyes filled with affectionate love, saying, "Actually, we are only half a step away from Qingqiu reaching the Fifth Tier. If she focuses on her efforts and with our assistance, I'm confident she will reach Fifth Tier within a few months, shedding her beast form and transforming into human appearance. Then, she will be no different from Human Clan... haha..."

"Young Master Wang, Qingshui and I have only one daughter whom we cherish deeply. Though cultivation is arduous and bitter, each level takes ages, but we would spare no effort to help Qingqiu. I can guarantee she won't take three months to transform."

"Qingqiu is a good girl; I'm sure after transformation, she will be a stunning beauty." Wang Xiaoqiang took a sip of wine and said,

Beneath the table, True Person of Taiyi kicked him, as if reminding him of something.

Wang Xiaoqiang ignored and drank more.
