Chapter 22: Moving into Hu Mansion, Meeting an Old Acquaintance
When the demon clan’s powerful figures found out that there were still others who wanted to participate in the son-in-law selection assembly, their brows furrowed.
Although this son-in-law selection assembly was said to be selecting from the talented young men of the world, in reality, it was a selection within the demon clan itself.
Now that all the participating races had shown up, where did this guy suddenly come from?
“I’m sorry, please make way.”
“Excuse me, excuse me, I have something urgent.”
Chen Changsheng struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and then straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, bowing and saying, “Human Chen Changsheng pays respects to the Wolf King.”
“Though I haven’t met Princess Wan Yan, I also wish to participate in this son-in-law selection assembly.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in commotion.
At first, everyone thought it was another latecomer from the demon clan’s young masters, but no one expected that a human would show up.
For a human to participate in a demon clan’s son-in-law selection assembly, it was simply a huge joke.
“Human, get out of Night Moon Nation!”
It was unclear who shouted first, but soon after, many demons began to curse at Chen Changsheng.
Facing the curses of the many demons, Chen Changsheng maintained a smile, seemingly unaffected by the emotions.
Seeing this, the Wolf King pressed his hands down lightly, and the scene instantly quieted down.
“You want to marry my daughter. What makes you qualified?”
“Just by having a sincere heart, humans participating in the demon clan’s son-in-law selection assembly requires tremendous courage.”
“Now that I am here, doesn’t that prove my sincerity towards Princess Wan Yan?”
Upon hearing this, the Wolf King’s lips curled upward as he smiled, “A heart as genuine as yours, just for that sincerity, King allows you to participate in the son-in-law selection assembly.”
“King has spoken, any cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage are eligible to participate in this son-in-law selection assembly.”
“Though you are human, you also meet the criteria.”
“Tomorrow will be the test for the son-in-law selection, whether or not you succeed, it will depend on your own abilities.”
With that said, the Wolf King stood up and left.
But halfway through, the Wolf King hesitated and said, “Old Turtle, this human cultivator has come from afar.”
“I assume he does not have a place to stay yet, you should arrange for him to stay at the Hu mansion.”
“Do not let the humans think we demons do not know how to treat guests.”
“As you command.”
After casually arranging Chen Changsheng’s accommodation, the Wolf King completely disappeared from sight.
Although the demons were dissatisfied with a human participating in the son-in-law selection assembly, they could only leave reluctantly upon the Wolf King’s order.
“Hello, Brother Hu. It seems I’ll be troubling you for a few days.”
Hearing the Wolf King’s arrangement, Chen Changsheng immediately greeted Hu Zhan with a smile.
Looking at this human who suddenly appeared, Hu Zhan sized him up and laughed as well.
“Brother Chen, such audacity truly impresses me.”
“It’s a great fortune to live under the same roof as Brother Chen.”
Seeing Hu Zhan and Chen Changsheng chatting away, Lin Hu felt instantly nauseated.
“Your fox clan always likes to do embarrassing things. The attire of this person clearly shows he’s from the Great Qian Dynasty.”
“A defeated foe, how can he have the qualifications to stand before us?”
In response to Lin Hu’s taunt, Chen Changsheng didn’t even raise an eyebrow and remained silent.
However, Hu Zhan sneered, “Lin Hu, if you’re not smart enough, don’t embarrass our clan.”
“The Great Qian Dynasty is indeed a defeated foe of Night Moon Nation.”
“But Night Moon Nation defeated the Great Qian Dynasty, not the human race. If some human powerhouses hear your words,”
“At that time, if it leads to a war between the two races, can you take responsibility?”
Hu Zhan’s words instantly silenced Lin Hu.
Such a large accusation, even if Lin Hu had a hundred more heads, he wouldn’t dare to take it on.
…
Night Moon Nation Palace.
The Wolf King sat quietly on the throne, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrest.
At this moment, Old Turtle walked in from outside.
“Reporting to Wolf King, the human has been sent to Hu Mansion.”
“Hmm~”
The Wolf King responded indifferently, acknowledging the information, then said,
“Wan Yan was taken by a human, now another human appears at the son-in-law selection assembly.”
“What do you think, Old Turtle? Is there a connection between these two humans?”
Upon hearing this, Old Turtle hesitated and said, “This person’s background is unknown, and his appearance is too coincidental. He must be related to the princess’s disappearance.”
“But even if he is connected to the princess’s disappearance, he certainly isn’t the mastermind behind it. A cultivator at the Golden Core stage doesn’t have the ability to shield the heavenly will.”
“This person is likely a pawn sent by the true mastermind. Before we confirm the princess’s whereabouts, we must not act rashly.”
“Reasonable. This task will be left to you, Old Turtle.”
“Investigate the background of this human. I want to see who is behind this.”
“As you command!”
Old Turtle turned and left, and the Wolf King’s expression turned cold.
His daughter was kidnapped, and the mastermind sent a Golden Core human cultivator to humiliate him.
If he ever caught the mastermind, he would surely tear them apart limb from limb.
…
Hu Mansion.
“Senior, do you remember me?”
“It’s Meiniang!”
After moving into Hu Mansion, Chen Changsheng was preparing to rest when unexpectedly, a woman suddenly came to visit.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment.
Then he remembered that this woman was the demon fox-eared girl he had encountered thirty years ago when he first woke up.
“It’s you!”
“Why are you here?”
Upon hearing this, Hu Meiniang looked around and said, “Senior, let’s go inside to talk. This is not a suitable place for conversation.”
