Chapter 534 - 534 You"re My ManBut those beautiful jade eyes of hers were staring straight at Mu Jin with a look of shock, as if he had been shocked by Mu Jin"s appearance.
He just stood there blankly without saying anything, and he didn"t even blink.
Seeing that the jade did not have any movements, nor any signs of resistance, Mu Jin slowly let go of the hand that was covering his mouth.
Mu Jin searched around the house privately, pulling down the cloth that was used to make curtains, then gave it to Meiyu: "Put this on!"
Seeing the curtain that Mu Jin handed to her, Mei Yu chuckled and said, "People of our Peony Island are all dressed like this!" There was no trace of fear in his words.
"Put it on!" Mu Jin spoke again, but the jade did not accept it. Mu Jin could only take off the cloth and directly covered the jade, then turned to look at the jade and spoke: "My friend is poisoned, do you know how to cure it?"
The beautiful jade looked towards Mu Jin"s direction, only to see Xuan Li lying on the ground with a green complexion, the skin outside the clothes also had a black and green color, as though the sap from a tree was dripping onto his skin.
"Oh G.o.d …" Mei Yu cried out in alarm.
Mu Jin frowned, could it be that this poison was very difficult to cure?
"Two men came at once? "Oh G.o.d, am I dreaming?" Meiyu had not noticed the poison in Xuan Li"s body from the start, but had only noticed the ident.i.ties of Xuan Li and Mu Jin.
Then, he turned around and looked at Mu Jin as if he was looking at a prey: "Are you really a man? Then it will be mine from now on! " After saying that, the beautiful jade was about to pinch Mu Jin"s face.
Mu Jin"s figure flashed and dodged the hand of the beautiful jade, his voice was extremely cold: "Miss, please have some self-respect!"
"Self-respect?" Meiyu seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Do you know where we are?"
"I know, this is the Peony Island!" Mu Jin"s expression was extremely calm.
"Then you must have escaped from the Queen? If you don"t want to be captured by the Queen again, then be my man. Otherwise, if you get captured by the Queen"s people, it will be very miserable! " The beautiful jade eyes peeked at Mu Jin stealthily. He was clearly only sixteen years old, but his personality and words were so spicy and mature. From her mouth, such shameful words, she did not feel embarra.s.sed at all.
Raising the corner of her lips, a formless deterrence struck at the beautiful jade: "Miss, please speak with respect. I do not know who the Queen you are talking about is, I came to this Peony Island myself!"
Are all the women in the Peony Island so unrestrained? Did her father, or even her husband, not properly discipline her?
Or did they just happen to walk into a village?
The beautiful jade became even more surprised, and immediately took off the cloth covering her body, Mu Jin immediately used his hand to stop her, and then turned his head back.
"Since you came to Peony Island yourself, then don"t even think of leaving, I advise you to obediently be my man, if not, if you were to be discovered by the rest of the people in the Peony Island, the consequences would be dire. Don"t tell me that you want to be revered by the people in the shrine for gathering essence everyday? That way, you won"t be able to live for more than a few months! " Although the beautiful jade still had lingering fear from the aura coming off from Mu Jin"s body, she was still fearless in her heart.
This was the Peony Island, the h.e.l.l of men. All the tens of thousands of people in Peony Island were women, men were precious treasures to them.
As the children born from their pregnancies were usually females, very few of them were able to give birth to males. The consequence of giving birth to males was that males, after becoming adults, were sacrificed in temples to receive female trampling, allowing the population of Peony Island to reproduce.
In these dozens of years, none of the women in the Peony Island were able to give birth to a boy, and all the men who were previously picked up died one after another.
The bonfire party was just prepared for the men who were caught in Peony Island. After that, she only needed to give some silver taels to take out the animal bone and it would be the time for her to gather the essence.
But now, the heavens had sent her two men.
"What does it mean?" Mu Jin obviously did not understand the words that came out of the beautiful jade"s mouth.
"It means to continue the next generation!" After saying that, Meiyu opened the window. After confirming that there was no one around, she firmly locked both the window and the door.
Mu Jin"s brows suddenly furrowed. This was the first time he had heard such an incredulous answer. "Don"t you have a man here?"
"No, there are almost no men in Peony Island. Even if there were men, the Queen would have caught them from the outside. However, they died within a few months, so the Queen has to go out every so often to capture a few back!" Mei Yu explained, then looked at Xuan Li who was lying on the ground.
"What is it? Are you trying to resist? As long as I shout, the people of the village will hear it, if you are discovered by them, you will definitely be captured by the Queen and taken to the temple to worship, and at that time, you will have to receive different women to gather essence everyday, this Peony Island has population of tens of thousands! " At the bottom of Meiyu"s heart, there was no fear, but instead waves of joy.
This was the first time she had seen such a good-looking man. No, since she was young, she had never seen what he looked like. All she knew was that they had a Adam"s apple!
Mu Jin"s brows knitted even more tightly. "A hundred years ago, Northern Desert State and the Southern Mountain State attacked the Peony Island together.
Mu Jin could not believe it, the amount of people that the soldiers had added up to was around 30,000 or 50,000, why is it that after so many years, only a group of women remained on this island?
Could it be that they were all killed?
"They? They died a long time ago, and my grandmother told me that at that time, they were much better off than they are now. Originally, three or four women shared a man, but in our generation, we could only go to the temple to continue our descendants! " As the beautiful jade spoke, she actually felt an endless yearning for that era.
Grandma said that the process of succession was the most wonderful thing in life, making countless women go crazy. After they tasted this, they had always been infatuated with it. However, after a short while, the soldiers that had delivered them to the island successively died within ten years.
Mu Jin listened to these frightening words. Three to four women sharing a man?
As for the men being revered in the temple, Mu Jin already knew why those men died so early.
The most terrifying thing was that in the Peony Island, all of the babies were actually girls, and there were only a few men. This was the result of the gender imbalance, so the Peony Island became a living h.e.l.l for men.
