Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 486: He Also Has His Lonely Moments 6

Facing Xia Yinian’s rage, Gu Beicheng simply smiled calmly.

"The people here are very conservative. If a couple doesn’t sleep together, they will be thrown into the Min Liu River and drowned."

"Are you trying to scare me?" How could such conservative notions still exist nowadays?

"You don’t believe it?" Gu Beicheng stood up, pointing to a distant spot outside, "That’s the other side of Oasis. We didn’t go there today because there are too many lost souls."

"You’re... joking, right?" But why, in this moment, does he seem so serious?

Xia Yinian couldn’t help but stand up as well and followed the direction he was pointing toward.

Today, when they rode camels, the Camel Driver took them to that place and began looking for another path.

At that time, the Camel Driver was mumbling something that Xia Yinian couldn’t understand at all.

But it seemed like he was praying towards that direction.

Now, hearing Gu Beicheng’s words, Xia Yinian suddenly felt a chill.

"I’m not trying to scare you. The clan’s customs here are strict. You and I woke up in the same bed today, which means we are husband and wife."

He hugged her from behind, feeling her slight resistance, he tightened his arms around her.

"If we’re not considered as a couple and sleep on the same bed, tourists will be immediately expelled. If it’s people from the local tribe, they will be punished."

"Really drowned?"

"It depends on the severity." As for what severity entails, outsiders should not speculate as it’s the locals’ matter.

"Come, eat, and don’t think about those confusing matters. It’s not that barbaric in this age."

"But, there are still barbaric times, right?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Xia Yinian didn’t know why, but looking towards the direction of Min Liu River, she always felt terrified.

Why would such cruel practices still exist nowadays...

"If I had known, I wouldn’t have mentioned this. Come eat, don’t think about it."

Gu Beicheng led her back to the table, pressing her to sit down: "Nothing will happen, just, don’t go around saying that I am not your husband."

"You’re doing this on purpose!" Even though she knew he was doing it intentionally, the legend of Min Liu River still unnerved her.

"It’s already like this now." Gu Beicheng’s smile wasn’t serious at all.

"Later, I’ll ask Ah Qiman to bring some local clothes for you. Dress up tonight, you might even look prettier than the bride."

"Why should I want to look prettier than her on her wedding day?"

A bride should be the most beautiful, she thought, casually being pretty was enough.

However, she was still a bit excited about the local clothes.

Let’s not dwell on the legend of Min Liu River.

But, having to sleep with this beast tonight... any way you put it, it’s a loss!

Who knows if this beast might do something at night.

"You said you won’t force me!" Xia Yinian felt it necessary to reiterate this point.

"It’s mutual consent, matters of deep affection are not considered forcing."

"I would never consent!" She definitely wouldn’t! The thought itself was horrifying, devoid of the so-called enjoyment from the legends.
