Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 811 Marriage

Xu Han: "..."

The sleepiness he had just begun to cultivate vanished instantly, and he tried to suppress his breathing while straining to listen to the sounds around him.

"Cuck!"

A toad jumped out of the water, and with a series of dripping sounds, Xu Han heard the toad happily say:

"Mom? You mean I have a wife? Quack!"

It was a softer croaking of a toad: "Oh my god! This is wonderful! I thought I'd never be able to find a wife!"

Xu Han: "..."

Xu Han silently sniffed, not daring to make any noise, but his mind was full of all sorts of random complaints.

...Do these toads have something wrong with their eyes? Leaving aside the species issue for now, do these toads take wives regardless of gender?

No, can males give birth to baby toads? No, females probably can't either, since they're not the same species and there's reproductive isolation...

Xu Han's mind was a jumble of thoughts when he suddenly felt the rushing water getting closer and closer—it was the mother and baby toads breaking through the water and approaching him.

Xu Han: "..."

Xu Hanzhen had no other choice but to continue pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed.

pat!

The lotus flower beneath Xu Han trembled, and two toads leaped out of the water, slowly approaching Xu Han, who was curled up and fast asleep. The larger toad laughed and said:

"Son, come see the wife your mother has chosen for you! Look at her face and her figure! She's definitely your type! Rumble rumble!!"

The little toad jumped around Xu Han excitedly, "Oh my god! He's so beautiful! Rib! So beautiful! I've never seen anyone more beautiful than him!"

"You silly son!"

The big toad stopped the excited little toad and glared at him, saying:

"Why are you jumping around! What if you wake her up and she runs away? I won't be able to find you another beautiful wife!"

"Let me tell you, that woman's house burned down, so you won't be able to find any pretty little people anymore."

The little toad selectively ignored the big toad's croaking and happily hopped around several more times before finally stopping under the big toad's angry rebuke.

"Let me take another look..."

The little toad approached the "sleeping" Xu Han, its bright yellow, protruding pupils fixed on Xu Han's face—Xu Han, who was pretending to be asleep, could even feel its bumpy hand resting on his arm.

Xu Han: "..."

Xu Han felt like she was about to cry.

Who would have thought that participating in a guild tournament dungeon would require such a huge sacrifice? He's a grown man being called "wife," and to make matters worse, he's being called the wife of an ugly, disgusting toad...

Xu Han felt dirty.

Especially when he felt the little toad secretly touching his face.

In that instant, Xu Han's hair stood on end, and cold sweat began to pour from his forehead.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god... This is touching, touching my face, next, next step, I can't... I can't just kiss him on the lips—

pat.

A damp, foul-smelling tongue suddenly licked Xu Han's cheek.

Xu Han lay stiffly on the spot, motionless.

The little toad's laughter was sharp and piercing: "Croak—croak—croak—wife...my—my croak—wife—"

Xu Han wanted to cry but had no tears: "..."

Die, you disgusting toad!

"Alright, alright," the big toad said irritably, spitting out a snort as he stopped his son's tongue from licking his "daughter-in-law" again. "Hurry up and find a place for your wife to stay. We have to have a wedding, don't we? There are so many wives we brought back this time, your cousins ​​all have to get married with you..."

"Ha gua!"

Are there really that many toads?

The little toad seemed somewhat reluctant, "There's too much... I don't want to separate it—"

"okay!"

The giant toad suddenly interrupted his son's mutterings, glanced at his motionless "daughter-in-law," and sighed.

"Hurry up and prepare some things for the wedding. We're a well-off family, how can we get married without preparing anything at all?"

"Mmm!"

The little toad agreed wholeheartedly and immediately jumped into the swamp with its mother to prepare for the wedding.

"..."

Once the surrounding noise completely disappeared, Xu Han shakily opened his eyes, staring blankly at the daylight sky obscured by lotus leaves and flowers, with an expression that suggested he didn't want to live.

That's...disgusting...

How many toads are there?! Why do toads have to get married?! Why do fairy tales have to come true?! This is turning into a horror story?! Why do humans marry toads?!

Xu Han now understood why Thumbelina had run away... He wanted to run away too, and not only did he want to run away, he also wanted to rip out the tongue of that toad that had just licked his face!

No wonder the original story says Thumbelina is kind; she really is too kind. She didn't kill the toad and its mother before she left.

Xu Han took out a towel from his system backpack, suppressed his nausea and wiped the remaining sticky liquid off his face, then couldn't help but gag again.

After all this commotion, Xu Han was indeed a little sleepy and fell asleep in the center of the lotus flowers, looking listless.

In his dream, Xu Han was wielding Yu Shijiu's axe, his face contorted with rage as he chased after two fat, ugly toads.

When he cut off the tongue of one of the toads, the slime mixed with blood splattered all over Xu Han. Terrified and disgusted, he screamed and jumped into the water to wash himself off...

---

Yu Shijiu woke up to a cacophony of frogs talking. He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, before propping himself up against the lotus petals.

"you're awake?"

As soon as Da Yu Shi Jiu woke up, a fat little toad blocked his view. The toad's thick limbs were bent backward, and it stared at Yu Shi Jiu with its eyes wide open.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

"..." Yu Shijiu was uncharacteristically silent for a few seconds, then met the toad's almost bulging pupils for a moment before lowering his eyelids and taking a step back as if in fear, about to speak—

"I don't want to! I don't want to!!"

A girl's sharp, terrified scream came from the lotus flowers nearby; it was Thumbelina.

"I don't want to marry you! I want to go home! I want to find my mother..."

Thumbelina stared in horror at the mother and baby toads in front of her, too terrified to look at them.

"I want to go back...I want to go back—"

"Go back to what home?"

The mother toad sneered, "Your mother, that woman who always stomped on us, has already been burned to death! Burned to death, do you understand?! Going home?! Ha quack! Go home what? You have no home anymore! Ha quack!"

Thumbelina's expression changed drastically, and she retorted incredulously, "Impossible! How could my mother have burned to death! My house is so big! How could it have burned down in an instant—"
