Chapter 285: The Dense Forest Frontier

To cheers, a drunken Alex picked Guy up and carried him to the new room, which had been improvised in the tavern.

The group also had the good sense to set up a room for Bai Liu and the others, which looked modest, but still had that look.

Spades was about to bend down and carry Bai Liu into the new room, imitating Alex's movements, when Bai Liu calmly stopped him.

Bai Liu glanced up at Tang Erda, who had been motionless for a long time, like a wooden statue, in the midst of the human race.

Tang Erda's face was blank as he stared slowly for a moment at Spades and the veil on his head, then at Bai Liu with a natural look on his face, before slowly glancing down at the bottle he was holding, turning it over to check the strength to make sure he wasn't hallucinating from too much to drink.

Tang Erda muttered in a trance, "Is there a monster here? I've been alienated resulting in a drop in mental value ......"

Bai Liu silenced the Spades behind him as he tried to pick him up again, "No."

Spades looks up: "?"

"Alex is all hugged Guy." He wondered from the bottom of his heart, "Can't I carry you in?"

Bai Liu said, "- we don't use it."

Spades questioned, "Why?"

Bai Liu thought about it for a couple of seconds before he started to blurt out something without changing his face: "- Alex hugged Guy, the one without a wedding dress hugged the one with a wedding dress, not you hugged me."

Spades let out an indistinct oooh and then naturally opened his arms and looked straight at Bai Liu as if he was ready for him to be carried into the new room.

Bai Liu scanned Spades, who was a head taller than him, from top to bottom and looked away as if nothing had happened: "- but you look too heavy for me to carry you, so forget it."

Spades was quiet for a moment, and then he slowly lowered his hands behind his back, and, with an ooh, stayed in front of Bai Liu, still looking at him steadily.

Bai Liu raised his eyes and eyebrows, giving a questioning expression of what more do you want.

"I'm not very heavy either." Spades argued matter-of-factly, "81.4kg, only one hundred and sixty-three pounds, you should try it."

When he finished, he opened his arms again, his face falling light, his eyes staring straight at Bai Liu, giving a sense of urgency [of you picking me up quickly and going into the new room].

Bai Liu: "......"

Bai Liu calmly retorted, "- I can't really hold it."

"But we're married, you're supposed to carry me in." Spades eyes glanced at the doorway of the room that Alex was carrying Guy into and then dropped his gaze flatly to Bai Liu's face, " Alex could carry a hundred and seventy-four pounds of Guy in there when he was drunk."

Spades looked down at Bai Liu and calmly stated the truth: "I'm eleven pounds lighter than Guy."

Bai Liu: "......"

He somehow sensed a note of condemnation in Spades' words.

Bai Liu knows that he can't hold Spades when he's drunk, but he's learned the hard way that Spades is so stubborn and serious when he's drunk - the man won't give in until he gets a reasonable answer.

"It's true that I can't carry you." Bai Liu looked at Spades with a smile, "but there is some kind of tool in my system panel that has the ability to transport you, and I could use that tool to carry you in, would that be acceptable to you?"

Spades nodded after a moment's thought.

He was okay with Bai Liu using props to carry him in, such as a floating mat to reduce his weight.

One minute later.

Tang Erda's face stops completely, and he takes one rigid step at a time, like a submarine delivery robot that has lost consciousness, his arms stretched out stiffly in front of him, his eyes staring vacantly forward, not looking down at the "cargo" being transported in his arms.

The "cargo" is expressionless, straight, hands pressed to the seams of his trousers like a frozen corpse, lying straight and flat on Tang Erda's straightened arms.

Because Tang Erda doesn't hold or hug Spades at all, Spades will roll if he doesn't straighten up.

But even when the Spades are straightened, the slightest bump in Tang Erda's travels causes the expressionless Spades on his arms to roll from side to side.

But it's a good thing it didn't roll down.

Bai Liu walks calmly alongside, guiding the 'food delivery robot' towards the door of the new house.

Next to them was a group of dumbfounded soldiers who watched in disbelief as Tang Erda carried Bai Liu towards the door of the new house.

It was not until the door of the new room had closed and all three of these strange men had disappeared into the doorway that the brigands withdrew themselves in a trance.

One GI gulped and exclaimed, "God, what is this?"

"I know!" One of the GIs raised his hand excitedly and grabbed the answer, "It's an old Eastern wedding custom!"

A group of large soldiers looked over in instant curiosity.

The soldier rubbed his hands together and laughed drunkenly twice, "I've heard that in the ancient East the emperors would have some of their own some of their subordinate males help transport their wives to bed."

"It seems to be like this, having the subordinates tie their wives board up with something, and then having the subordinates carefully transport them into the room." Feeling as if he was talking about something extremely hunting, this soldier approached these leaning soldiers and mysteriously lowered his voice, "To ensure the chastity of the wives being transported over, these subordinates are usually castrated!"

The GIs let out a long, shocked, and extremely gossipy, "Oh-!!!"

One GI seemed extremely incredulous at such a cruel custom and shook his head in amazement, "So that tall recruit-?!"

The customary soldier nodded soberly, "Mostly."

There was a long sigh of relief like a sigh of relief.

The big soldier turned his words around and added, "But you don't have to feel too sorry for him, generally speaking, such castration is voluntary for them."

"By choice?!" Everyone's pupils quaked, "He's so tall, so handsome, he'd be willing to do that to himself!"

"An old East Wind civilization custom." The big soldier shook his head to show off his learning, "It is said that this is to show his loyalty and better serve his king!"

"That little man must have royal blood!" The big soldier hammered it home.

Everyone gave another long oh.

Bai Liu, unaware of his royal blood, sits on the edge of the bed and glances at Spades, lying flat on her back, and Tang Erda, standing as if frozen in place by the bed.

"I... I'll go first." Tang Erda uttered these words with difficulty, not daring to look at Spades on the bed or Bai Liu beside it, and almost fled through the back door of the room.

He doesn't know that he has been "castrated" on the outside.

Spades, lying on the bed, is staring at Bai Liu with a quiet, haunted gaze.

Bai Liu turned his back to Spades, his voice tinged with a faint smile, "I showed you, Tang Erda is indeed in my system panel, sort of my tool, I'm not lying to you."

Spades rolled over and buried his face in the pillow with a muffled oh.

But soon Spades' mood seemed to calm down and he looked sideways at Bai Liu, sitting on the edge of the bed, unbuttoning his cuffs and removing his jacket, his eyes becoming inquisitive again, "Are we going to do anything else tonight?"

"There's no need to do anything." Bai Liu said

Bai Liu took off his coat and untucked his shirt.

He didn't avoid the sight of Spades, but he changed his clothes and then lifted the covers and lay down, smiling softly at Spades and saying good night.

Bai Liu reached over and turned off the lamp, everything went dark and soon his breathing evened out.

Spades, lying next to him, is confused - his instincts tell him that the marriage process is not yet complete.

But again, he didn't know what to do next, as if two people lying in bed couldn't do anything else but sleep ......

Spades rolled over a few times and eventually squared up to Bai Liu and whispered goodnight and closed his eyes.

Bai Liu, who is pretending to be asleep, silently curls the corners of his mouth.

When Bai Liu was young, he tried to avoid Xie Ta's questions or did something he didn't want Xie Ta to know about, but when Xie Ta found out, he pretended to sleep.

Whatever the situation, Xie Ta will not disturb his sleep.

It seems that this good habit has survived to this day.

But the corners of Bai Liu's mouth were halfway to being fixed - there was an eerie sound and two intertwined gasps coming from the other new room, just a wall away from them.

Bai Liu: "......"

Is this tavern room so poorly soundproofed?

Spades opened his eyes, and instead of waking Bai Liu, who was still pretending to be asleep, he made very little movement and got down on one knee at the head of the bed, turned his head sideways and stared and pressed his ear to the wall - he had to know what the next step in the marriage process was.

Bai Liu: "......"

Bai Liu also opened his eyes, his eyelids slightly slit, and gazed silently into the darkness at the side of Spades' face.

Spades' expression is aloof, his eavesdropping austere.

Guy and Alex's voices are so entwined that a normal person might not be able to hear what these two are mumbling while kissing, but since both Bai Liu and Spades are now well paneled and have high acuity in their five senses, they are able to hear.

Alex sounded anxious: "Where's that! Where did you put it!"

Guy's laughing voice came over, " Alex, hey, slow down - I left it at the end of the bed."

"What's that one?" Spades asked quickly.

Bai Liu paused, "Condoms."

Spades stops moving for a second or two, then he turns to open the bedside table and Bai Liu has to get up to stop him.

Bai Liu tapped on the lamp and asked calmly, looking up, "What are you doing out of bed?"

Spades looked over at him, "I'm looking for the condom on the bed."

Bai Liu paused briefly, "What did you want?"

The voice on the other side of the wall turned violently hoarse: " Guy, let me put it on you."

"To wear." Spades instantly understood the use of the item and he stared straight at Bai Liu's lips, "Are you going to wear it for me too-"

Bai Liu calmly retorted, "No way."

Spades looks at Bai Liu: "Why not?"

Bai Liu takes a deep breath and exhales slowly.

He realised that Spades could not be so easily fooled again.

Spades stared at Bai Liu with a misplaced look, kneeling and attaching himself to the wall, his voice low: "Why not?"
