Chapter 705: Chapter 318: Truth is Everywhere in Life!

"Hey, Rooster Spirit, wait up!"

Seeing the Rooster Spirit sprinting inside, Qi Yuan tried to call it back.

If other members of the Demon Clan were just substitutes for First Love, the Rooster Spirit could be considered half a First Love.

Unfortunately, upon hearing Qi Yuan’s words, the Rooster Spirit sped up even more and didn’t stop, heading straight for the abandoned residence.

Holding onto the icy sleeve of Xiao Jia, Qi Yuan pondered, "Could it be that he guessed I wanted him to help me repay the Star Loan?"

Qi Yuan was preparing to purchase Vault Star, and the Rooster Spirit was just right for repaying the loan.

Xiao Jia nodded her head, exceptionally obedient, seemingly in full agreement with Qi Yuan’s words.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan burst into hearty laughter, holding Xiao Jia’s waist even tighter.

From the sleeve of Xiao Jia’s dress, a "happy" expression tag fell out.

It was unclear whether she was amused by Qi Yuan’s words or because she heard Qi Yuan say she was his bride carried in a grand palanquin.

The abandoned dwelling was especially quiet and deep, but with Xiao Jia there, everything seemed warm and detailed.

"Let’s go, Xiao Jia, shall we meet my First Love?" Qi Yuan said, leading Xiao Jia by her icy sleeve, yet thinking that if Xiao Jia got jealous, she might want to kill all these First Loves.

Should he help?

After all, wives and First Loves were inherently at odds.

With odd thoughts in his mind, Qi Yuan and Xiao Jia walked deeper into the residence.

Along the way, Qi Yuan saw many stooped figures, who with numb expressions were either sweeping the floor or serving tea.

If you looked closely, you would find these people’s throats and ears had been damaged by poison, turning them into deaf and mute servants.

As Qi Yuan and Xiao Jia arrived, one of the deaf and mute servants came over to lead the way.

Qi Yuan and Xiao Jia walked towards the dilapidated hall, and before they got there, Qi Yuan caught a whiff of a pickle-like stench.

From inside the hall, came a cultured and amiable voice.

"Gentlemen, though invited here, I’m unable to offer fresh human delicacies.

Old Man Yang feels indebted and has only these air-dried preserved meats to offer. Please bear with it."

The old goat with triangular horns, whose beard reached his waist, might as well have been called long-haired.

If he met a person from Blue Star, he might recite a poem, such as "When my hair reaches my waist, will you marry me?"

"Old Man Yang, this dried meat should have some candied fruit added, I like sweet, not salty," said a wild wolf spirit wearing a tattered robe, stuffing the dried meat into its mouth.

"I prefer spicy; otherwise, it can’t mask the human meat’s musk," the Rooster Spirit then spoke up, voicing its opinion.

The group of demons chattered among themselves.

Then, Old Man Yang spoke, "I heard that today, a special guest would join our gathering. I wonder if they have arrived?"

"It’s said to be a Wedding Dress Demon, truly rare. I’ve lived for three hundred years and am quite long-lived, yet I’ve never seen a demon born from a wedding dress."

"Now... you’ve seen one."

Just then, Qi Yuan’s cheerful voice rang out.

He entered the hall with Xiao Jia.

"This is my wife Xiao Jia, and I, Qi Yuan, am a good man."

The moment Qi Yuan entered the hall, his eyes swept over the more than a dozen demons present, his gaze filled with undeniable joy.

It was as if, after many years, he had finally gotten his one dearest wish... to see his First Love.

The demons in the hall were unsettled by Qi Yuan’s look.

However, many of the demons’ eyes were on Xiao Jia.

Peculiar demons were always the center of attention.

"A Wedding Dress Demon, I’ve never heard of such nor smelled any demonic aura... Could it be someone from the Demon Subduing Department... has infiltrated our midst?" commented an old demon who had lived for two hundred years, his words filled with suspicion.

The other demons nodded in agreement, especially because this Wedding Dress Demon had brought a human man with her.

"Elder Huai actually dared to let her in, she’s undoubtedly one of us. Would anyone dare... to doubt Elder Huai?" As soon as Old Man Yang spoke these words, no one else harbored any doubt.

Elder Huai’s strength was profound and unfathomable, and his age was excessively long; the grandfather of this two-hundred-year-old elder had once met Elder Huai.

Centuries had passed, and Elder Huai was still rooted here.

Even Grandpa Huang, as well as the Aquatic Clan’s representative, held Elder Huai in the highest respect.

The demons nodded, acknowledging Old Man Yang’s words.

"Immortal... please take a seat," Old Man Yang gestured affectionately.

Qi Yuan, holding Xiao Jia’s hand, prepared to take a seat.

But at that moment, a sharp voice came: "This is a gathering of demons; humans should not be seated."

It was the Rooster Spirit that spoke.

Even though it was afraid of the Wedding Dress Demon,

with so many demons around, it felt a bit more bold.

Qi Yuan’s face changed and then changed again, a look of dejection set in: "I’m finished, you’ve seen through my lie.

Alas, Xiao Jia is not the one I married in a grand palanquin procession.

It was her who married me in one.

I know, a man married into his wife’s family has no status, cannot sit at the table.

I won’t sit at the table, just don’t make me drink foot-washing water."

Qi Yuan had a strong sense of morality and always abided by the rules.

Being denied a seat as a son-in-law was a humiliation he could only swallow.

Next time Ningtuo came over, if he was here to register a marriage, he’d take the opportunity to switch places and get a certificate with Xiao Jia too, to throw off this son-in-law status!

Xiao Jia, led by Qi Yuan and signaled by him, took her seat without saying anything but with happiness.

The reddish-brown table was set with some tea and the preserved human flesh.

Then, the Rooster Spirit spoke, "Old Man Yang, what exactly is the reason for inviting us here?"

The Rooster Spirit’s question also attracted the attention of all the demons present.

This time, the demons of Yunyan County convened separately at several strongholds to hold a demons’ promotion conference.
