The Wild Man King was very happy; it had been a long time since the accompanying wild people had seen him so joyous.

A group of people walked out of the thatched hut, heading slowly toward the valley square.

Ah Bao whispered to Yang Xiao:

"Master Yang, you are really lucky. Don't forget about me in the future!"

"How do I feel like I've fallen into a trap?"

"Haha....."

When the Wild Man King appeared, over a thousand people had gathered in the valley. The crowd cheered and all knelt down in worship.

"Great Chief!"

"Great Chief!"

...

In recent years, the Wild Man King usually stayed inside that thatched hut in the forest and rarely attended public events; it was not easy for everyone to see him.

When everyone saw Yang Xiao by the Wild Man King's side, they were all inexplicably astonished, as this valley did not allow outsiders, and Yang Xiao's appearance and dress were clearly different from those of the wild people.

The Wild Man King waved his hand at the kneeling wild people around him,

"Stand up, everyone stand up. Today is Ah Rui's wedding, everyone be happy, and later enjoy the dance. Hmm, which beautiful lady would like to dance with me?"

Immediately, a dozen or so middle-aged women stood up from the crowd and shouted loudly:

"Me,"

"Me,"

"Great Chief, I am willing to dance with you,"

"Do you need a massage before you sleep tonight?"

.....

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Yang Xiao: "..."

The old man is still young at heart. This style doesn't seem like that of a generation's Wild Man King, but rather like a romantic lover.

Ah Bao laughed from the side:

"Our Wild Man King has always been very congenial to everyone."

"You mean casual, right?"

"You little rascal, don't badmouth me, or be careful my granddaughter takes revenge for me tonight."

Yang Xiao: "..."

Damn, the style of these wild people is indeed different. They seem to regard the affairs between men and women very lightly.

But on second thought, wild people usually wear little clothing together, often bathe together, and expose their chests and backs to each other. Men and women don't have much mystique about each other's bodies.

In other words, if everyone on Earth stopped wearing clothes, over time, due to aesthetic fatigue, the mystique of the opposite sex's body would naturally disappear.

Sex is not a mystery among wild people.

Amidst the crowd's escort, the Wild Man King arrived at the wedding platform in the center of the square, and over a thousand people in the square kneeled before the Wild Man King.

Only Yang Xiao stood alone in the crowd.

Yang Xiao felt a bit awkward, not knowing whether to kneel or not.

The Wild Man King glanced at Yang Xiao but said nothing, thinking to himself,

"You little rascal, after you marry my granddaughter, I'll see whether you kneel or not. Hehe!"

People stood up, some looking at Yang Xiao in astonishment, wondering why this guy was so awesome, daring not to kneel in front of the Wild Man King.

The Wild Man King coughed lightly and said loudly:

"Brothers and sisters, I've gathered you all here today for a joyous announcement; you must all already know, and that is, my granddaughter Ah Rui is getting married today. Ah Rui?"

"Grandpa!"

Ah Rui, accompanied by two female friends, slowly walked to the Wild Man King's side.

Everyone, seeing Ah Rui dressed up especially beautifully and sexy today, was struck with admiration.

"Miss Ah Rui is getting more and more beautiful."

"But my boy doesn't have such luck."

"Who exactly is the groom? Is it Ah Lang?"

"Why did I see Ah Lang howling painfully in the back valley just now?"

"This situation seems quite complicated."

"What's the rush, the Great Chief is about to announce the groom."

...

Someone in the crowd shouted:

"Great Chief, who's the groom? Hurry up and announce it; otherwise, I'm starting to believe that I might be the candidate."

The Great Chief laughed heartily,

"Pfft, you might want to take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror first, what part of you is worthy of Ah Rui?"

Yang Xiao quietly asked Ah Bao beside him:

"Is it typical for your Wildman King to always behave like this?"

Ah Bao whispered back:

"The Great Chief is usually affable, but when he gets angry, everyone is afraid. You'll gradually come to understand."

"I'm not one of your wildpeople, he can't boss me around, right?"

"That'll change once you're married."

Yang Xiao: "..."

The Wildman King on the stage let out a hearty laugh and said:

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know you all want to know who today's groom is. I'll tell you very soon. Alright, I hereby announce that today's groom is—"

The Wildman King paused on purpose at this point.

The entire square fell dead silent; everyone eagerly watched the Wildman King and Ah Rui beside him.

Ah Rui suddenly felt her heart racing, she could even hear the "thump-thump" of her own heartbeat.

Yang Xiao noticed that this Wildman King was really just a joker, deliberately holding off on announcing the answer while everyone was eagerly waiting, scanning the crowd with his eyes, and then dropping a bombshell,

"Hmm, where's Ah Wolf? How come I don't see Ah Wolf?"

"Ah, so Ah Wolf is the groom!"

"I guessed it was Ah Wolf."

"It really is Ah Wolf."

Ah Rui: "@#￥%"

Yang Xiao: "@#￥%"

Qing Mu: "@#￥%"

Ah Bao: "@#￥%"

The few who knew the truth almost had their eyeballs popping out.

This Wildman King really was a major joker, even at such a critical moment, he still played with people.

Yang Xiao silently mourned for his "rival" Ah Wolf in his heart. Although he had also guessed from the sudden realization in everyone's exclamation, it was probably correct. Ah Wolf must be one of the many wildmen smitten with Ah Rui.

Ah Wolf was not in the crowd; to be accurate, he was now sitting by a bonfire, immersing himself in the wildmen's homebrewed fruit wine, already slightly inebriated.

In his heart, the Wildman King held a place of utmost respect and reverence.

But today, he was disappointed in the Wildman King, disappointed in Ah Rui, and disappointed in himself.

Everyone had run to the nearby square to kneel and worship the Wildman King, celebrating Ah Rui's wedding, while he alone, once again, took huge bites of meat, and quaffed his drink, using intoxication to numb his dissatisfaction and discontent.

When the Wildman King had asked "Where is Ah Wolf?" he was already somewhat drunk, only vaguely hearing people calling, "Ah Wolf, Ah Wolf."

Ah Wolf turned his head and saw his daily buddy, Little Mushroom.

"Little Mushroom, why aren't you congratulating Ah Rui's wedding, and instead coming to find me?"

"Ah Wolf, why are you drowning yourself in so much wine? You're the groom, man, the Great Chief is looking everywhere for you."

"Go away, don't [expletive] joke with me, I know it's not me."

"Hey, who said it's not you? The Great Chief stood on the stage to announce the groom's name, everyone's looking for you, why are you hiding here drinking?

Didn't Qing Mu say? Keep the mystery until the last moment of the wedding, now hurry over there!"

"Buzz!"

Ah Wolf's drunken haze cleared instantly.

In truth, that little bit of alcohol couldn't really get Ah Wolf drunk. It was just that he felt sort of intoxicated because of his own sorrow combined with the alcohol content of the fruit wine.

"Really, really?"

"Why would I lie to you? This is the Great Chief's test for you, hurry up, as you know, so many people like Ah Rui, and Ah Rui treats you the best."

His buddy Little Mushroom explained.

Upon hearing this, it all made sense to Ah Wolf.

"Slap!"

Ah Wolf gave himself a slap, the drunken stupor totally vanishing.

Damn, I'm stupid. The things Ah Rui said today, she was just trying to anger me, to test me, how could I be so stupid? In the entire Wildman tribe, who else but me is worthy of Ah Rui?

Thinking this way, Ah Wolf spryly leapt up from the ground and dashed towards the nearby square, shouting:

"I'm here, Great Chief, I'm here, Ah Rui, I'm coming."
