Xue Ji turned her head and saw Wu Yanhe untying his purse. She grabbed his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

The man curled his lips and said, "Place a bet."

Xue Ji glanced at the table and asked, "Who do you want to suppress?"

Wu Yanhe did not answer. He threw the purse, which happened to land on the three big characters "Wu Yanhe". He turned around and smiled at her, "Of course I'm going to put pressure on myself."

Xue Ji suddenly felt that this man was really black-hearted. He was raising the stakes and trying to win all the other party's money.

As dusk fell, the setting sun in the sky cast a red glow on the cold and hard afterglow. Frost hung on her eyelashes, but Xue Ji didn't feel cold. She sat down on the equally dry grass, and a small spot of her red cloak became wet.

It's getting late.

Not far away, she could still hear the lively laughter near the big tent, but she was the only one nearby. Xue Ji lay on the grass with her ears exposed to the air, slightly red from the cold.

The grass was soft yet hard, with frost and ice forming on it, breaking easily with a single step.

Xue Ji closed her eyes, and when she heard the footsteps getting closer, she lazily opened one eye. From her angle, she could just see the halo of dusk coating the man's body, and the dim fur edges softened his usually solemn expression a little.

He had a straight back, long limbs, and a face that was more handsome than any other man she had seen on the grassland.

Wu Yanhe put his hands behind his back, bent down slightly and looked at her. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly brought the glass jar in front of her.

The orange-yellow light shines out, flickering and wandering in the glass jar, like the most beautiful gift between heaven and earth.

"Is this... a firefly?" She took the glass jar with a half-doubt and looked up in surprise, "Where did you get this from?"

Wu Yanhe sat down beside her and said, "There are trees and snow-covered mountains behind the tents. When night falls, there are groups of fireflies."

Xue Ji turned her head away, not daring to look at his expression. She just focused on the glass jar in her hand. The orange-yellow light was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, like her equally fluctuating heart.

In the silence of the snow, she felt as if her ears were going numb.

"Thank you..."

After seeing enough, Xue Ji opened the glass lid, and in an instant, orange and yellow fireflies rushed out and flew into the gradually darkening sky. "Wow--" Her eyes sparkled, and she reached out to catch them, but the fireflies seemed to be playing with her, circling around her, circling around, making the girl laugh heartily, and then she left with her little lantern.

"Wu Yanhe, I know I didn't bet on you wrongly."

-

In the following days, the whole grassland knew about Wu Yanhe. He was not only the new Khan of Luanzhou tribe, but also the leader chosen by Tianlang this year!

Xue Ji was first in both horseback riding, archery and hunting. Standing on the stands, she saw Wu Yanhe being escorted over and said, "I was right about him."

The Great Khan stood up, surrounded by nobles from the grassland. Wu Yanhe approached, bowed and saluted first, his face still showing an unperturbed look.

"You are worthy of being a warrior on the grassland, the guardian chosen by the Heavenly Wolf God." The Great Khan stretched out his hand, and someone beside him came over with a mahogany plate full of rare treasures. Wu Yanhe glanced at it and said, "Thank you, Khan."

Dong Zi stood not far away, his strong muscles seemed to be deflated, but now he had to admit that Wu Yanhe's skills were indeed better and he was more qualified to be the leader than him.

"Everyone, the person chosen by the Sirius God has appeared, and now, I also want to announce something."

The Great Khan spoke with full energy.

"Marry my only princess Huiran to Luanzhou Khan Wuyanhe! The Heavenly Wolf God will be my witness!"

These words exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. Even Xueji didn't know the reason beforehand. She subconsciously looked at her grandfather to see if he was joking.

Wu Yanhe raised his head and said, "The Heavenly Wolf God is my witness. Princess Huiran Xueji will be the only Great Yu in Luanzhou."

Some were cheering, some were talking. Dong Zi stood among the crowd, his eyelashes drooping, thinking to himself that it was indeed so.

He had long seen that the Great Khan wanted to use the name of this year's Sirius God to find a suitable candidate for Xue Ji. If he was still the leader this year, would Xue Ji become his queen?

After everyone had finished talking, Xue Ji hurried to support the Great Khan's arm. When she got closer, she realized that the Great Khan, who was always so majestic in the eyes of his people, was now an old man with a face full of frost and wrinkles. "Grandfather..."

"Come in, and I will explain it to you in detail."

Wu Yanhe stood there, looked at them from a distance, and tactfully did not go forward to disturb them. It seemed that the Great Khan still had not told her the original story. As early as when he came to Huiran just now.

The Great Khan once said that if he could win the title of Sirius God this year and treat Xue Ji well for the rest of his life, the Great Khan would agree to marry Xue Ji to him.

Now he has done everything he should do.

Inside the tent, the Great Khan waved to the people, "Xueji, come here, did you hear clearly just now?"

"Xueji wants to stay by her grandfather's side forever..."

"Grandfather will grow old, and there will be a day when he will return to the Heavenly Wolf God. By then, Huiran will no longer be your home. Grandfather doesn't know when that day will come, but as Grandfather grows old, he feels uneasy every day. Xue Ji... Wu Yanhe is a good person..."

There was no movement in the big tent. Wu Yanhe was standing guard not far away. When people passing by saw him, they would always come forward and say "Congratulations."

He pursed his lips in return.

Dong Zi walked over and said, "You win."

Hearing this, Wu Yanhe thought he was talking about the gambling game, but when he saw his expression, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Donzi, don't you want to say congratulations?"

How could he say that.

After Xue Ji came out, he saw two people of similar stature standing together. He concealed the expression on his face and walked up to them.

Dong Zi said, "Xue Ji, if you don't want to get married, Brother Dong Zi will stand up for you."

This is the first time I’ve seen someone steal someone’s girlfriend in person.

Xue Ji shook her head, "Marriage is not just my business, it concerns the whole Hui Ran..." The refusal was obvious. After she finished speaking, she took Wu Yanhe's arm and left. After walking a distance, she turned around and walked towards the gambling place.

Wu Yanhe was dragged by her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course it's a gambling game. If we go too late, I'm afraid we won't even see the shadow of the money..."

Wasn't she a little sad just now? Why did she suddenly think of the money house again? Wu Yanhe smiled lightly, a little money-grubber.
