Oh, hahahaha, not being chosen by him is truly her ancestors burning incense every day.
"Is that Southern Barbarian Princess you mentioned really pretty?"
Chen Jingyi didn't ignore Yang Qiuyi's words. He really mentioned the words "Southern Barbarian" just now. Is it the same Southern Barbarian she's looking for? If nothing else, it should be, right?
"Of course, she's beautiful. In my heart, she's the most beautiful woman. In the entire South Island, you can't find anyone more beautiful than her. Only a woman as beautiful as her is qualified to marry me."
???
Fine, regarding how she's not qualified to marry him, Chen Jingyi is very satisfied. She's been dreaming of not being noticed by Yang Qiuyi, so what is this, a dream come true?
"Can I meet your beautiful princess? Hearing your praises makes me even more curious about her."
Precisely because the Island Master of the South Island lives in seclusion and doesn't meet strangers from other islands, Tang Rao and they encounter some difficulty in finding people. Otherwise, Tang Rao wouldn't have asked Chen Jingyi to use such unconventional methods to lure people out.
"No way."
What's up with Yang Qiuyi again? She just wants to meet the Southern Barbarian once. Is it really that difficult?
"Why? Is it because she's too beautiful that even as a woman looking at her, you would get jealous?"
Chen Jingyi hasn't even seen what the Southern Barbarian looks like in this life. Is she really as beautiful as Yang Qiuyi says?
Sigh, she's very conflicted now. After listening to Yang Qiuyi's words, it's hard for Chen Jingyi to discern if Yang Qiuyi's level of appreciation is within the normal range. It might just happen to be opposite to that of ordinary people, and then the Southern Barbarian is in for a bad time.
"Of course not, there are some things I can't tell you right now, but you'll know in the future."
Yang Qiuyi suddenly became tongue-tied, as if there was some unspeakable secret.
"Didn't you say we shouldn't hide things from each other? So now you're not being honest with me?"
Yang Qiuyi used those words to shut Chen Jingyi up before, and now she's managed to do the same to him. Yang Qiuyi feels a bit irritable but doesn't know where this agitation is coming from.
"Alright, seeing as we're all family, I'll tell you, but you must not let anyone else know, otherwise there'll be suffering for you in the future!"
Yang Qiuyi glanced at Chen Jingyi, still pondering the extent of her trustworthiness.
"Okay."
Chen Jingyi is just a little rabbit, she poses no threat to Yang Qiuyi at all. Yang Qiuyi could subdue her with just one finger.
"Although the Island Master has already consented to my relationship with the Little Princess, the Little Princess still somewhat resists me. I think in time, the Little Princess will surely understand me, see through me, and realize that I'm the one who can share her life journey."
Pfft!
So everything Yang Qiuyi passionately described to her just now is really just his wishful thinking. In fact, the Southern Barbarian has always been repelling him and never intended to be with him. Hahahaha, Chen Jingyi can see it now. This guy is just a natural-born actor, acting as though he's something significant, but in reality, it's all just for show, imagining himself as an incredible character. Yet in truth, people don't give him a second glance.
"Are you laughing at me?"
Chen Jingyi already deliberately held back her laughter, but in the end, she couldn't suppress it. The corners of her mouth turned up, caught by Yang Qiuyi.
"No, why would I laugh at you?"
This time, how is he so self-aware?
"Don't think I didn't see you laugh just now. I saw your smiling face completely. You just look down on me, thinking I'm deluding myself!"
Bro, you actually know you're deluding yourself, so why do you have to ask me?
Chen Jingyi smiled apologetically and said, "I wasn't laughing at you, I just felt like my chances got a lot better, that's why I felt a little bit happy."
Forgive her for not finding a better excuse.
"Don't delude yourself, the Little Princess and I are a pair. I will never give the title of first wife to you."
???
At this moment, Chen Jingyi's brain can't fit in any more question marks.
Her worldview has been completely overturned. She no longer feels the existence of true goodness and beauty in the world.
She tried to tolerate all of Yang Qiuyi's well-intentioned lies, but in the end, Yang Qiuyi himself got too lost in the act, demeaning Chen Jingyi to a worthless extent. Why? On what grounds?
"What are you two arguing about?"
Just as Chen Jingyi was about to give Yang Qiuyi a good scolding, a rosy-cheeked, graceful woman appeared behind Yang Qiuyi.
The woman's simple question immediately intimidated Yang Qiuyi.
No, it wasn't the question that intimidated him; her very presence intimidated him.
Some people are born with that aura. As soon as she appears, she becomes the center of attention. Chen Jingyi didn't achieve this, but the Southern Barbarian did.
"Southern Barbarian Princess, why are you here?"
Yang Qiuyi rushed to the Southern Barbarian's side like a lackey. Just now, he acted like he was the most important person in the world, but in front of the Southern Barbarian, he made a 180-degree turn. In front of the Southern Barbarian, he was just an obedient dog, and the Southern Barbarian was the dog's master.
Even when facing Chen Jingyi's shocked and confused expression, Yang Qiuyi didn't care. He only worried about whether his Southern Barbarian Princess would doubt his loyalty to love. If that were the case, he would have no hope in this life.
"This is my home, why can't I come over?"
What the Southern Barbarian said made sense. It's her home, she can go anywhere she wants, when did a servant start to worry about that?
"But you, I just heard you say I was going to marry you?"
The temperature around the Southern Barbarian immediately dropped. She used her inner strength, freezing the air within two meters of Yang Qiuyi, encasing him like an ice lolly, leaving only his head able to move a little, able to speak a little, but unable to do anything else.
"I'm sorry, I misspoke, Princess. Please don't take it seriously, I beg you to forgive me, Princess."
If Yang Qiuyi could move, he would be kneeling on the ground pleading with the Southern Barbarian for mercy.
"Tell me, what did he say just now?"
The Southern Barbarian looked at Chen Jingyi, and though it was their first meeting, she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity with her.
Not even with her father did she feel this way.
"He said only someone with your status is worthy of him. He also said the position of first wife is reserved for you and told me not to covet it."
Chen Jingyi didn't say a single lie. She even watched Yang Qiuyi's face, repeating his earlier words.
Yang Qiuyi was completely speechless with anger, his teeth itching.
"Only I am worthy of you? And what status do you think you have?"
