The lake spirit was almost disgusted by its lazy, gluttonous, and slippery appearance.
I knew it was greedy before, but I never imagined it would be this greedy.
It wants to collect all its treasures, but now it needs the demon's help.
I can only pretend to admire it; after all, even the Ghost Cart died at the hands of that group of people.
Even if this thing is lucky enough to avenge Ti Yuan, it's not certain whether it will return intact.
"I never expected you to have such feelings for Yuan'er. Given the status of your Dust Demon Clan among the demon race, marrying my daughter would be a good match."
Upon seeing that it had agreed, the dust demon immediately became all smiles and fawning.
"Demon Mother, please accept my bow."
Lake Spirit really wanted to boil herself and splash the liquid in his face, but she ultimately restrained herself.
"It's a bit early to call me that now. Wait until you kill those people and get back the wood chips from Yuan'er before you call me Demon Mother."
Dust Demon also realized he was being a bit too hasty, so he nodded in agreement repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, you're right. I wonder how strong those people are?"
Knowing it was timid as a mouse, the lake spirit naturally wouldn't reveal the true combat strength of Qin Luo and the others.
"They're nothing but a rabble."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao was filled with confidence, feeling that his joyous day was just around the corner.
"In that case, I will go immediately, get things done as soon as possible, and return to marry Sister Tiyuan."
"good…"
Just as Hu Ling uttered the word "good," a faint sound was heard.
It turned out to be a willow tree spirit pondering how to stall the dust demon.
He accidentally touched a withered leaf beside him, and the sound was particularly jarring on the quiet lakeside.
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual energy surged from the lake, heading straight for the willow tree demon.
"You audacious Liu Rusi, daring to pry into my secrets, you're courting death..."
The lake spirit's voice was like thunder, its words carrying divine power.
A demonic force struck her in the back, severely injuring Liu Rusi.
Knowing there was nowhere to escape and just as he was about to explain, a dark figure leaped out of the lake like a ghost.
It was the dust demon who had just conspired with the lake spirit; its crimson eyes were fixed on Liu Rusi.
A disgusting smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"So it's the willow tree spirit. What are you eavesdropping about here? Are you planning to betray the demon realm?"
"No, no, I just happened to be passing by..."
"Just passing by? What a coincidence."
Before the dust demon could finish speaking, his figure had already transformed into a black wind.
Instantly enveloped her completely, and Liu Rusi felt the world spinning around her.
Everything went black, and he was swallowed up by the universe within the Dust Demon's belly.
"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you now. When I return from the mortal realm, I will give your inner core as a betrothal gift to my wife, hahaha..."
Not to mention Liu Rusi, even Hu Ling felt her stomach churn upon hearing these words.
I clearly hit it myself, but it took it away and that's why.
It was also to be used as a dowry for marrying her daughter; this was the first time Hu Ling had ever hoped for this.
Qin Luo and his companions should be able to kill this dust demon, preferably by reducing it to ashes.
To prevent it from returning to the demon realm and causing trouble everywhere.
Meanwhile, Liu Rusi was in the dark and sunless inner space of the Dust Demon.
It did not despair, and mobilized all its spiritual power.
Seeking a chance to escape, surrounded by the stench and chaos of dust demons.
Liu Rusi was surprised to find that she had no demonic energy fluctuations at all.
She tried countless times to concentrate her mind and guide her demonic power, but to no avail.
Gradually, she came to understand: the Dust Demon's combat strength was among the lowest, but its defense was terrifyingly strong.
It even weaves a complex network of spirit suppression within its belly.
Once swallowed by it, no matter how powerful its demonic energy is...
They will all be firmly suppressed, giving you no chance to fight back.
You are trapped in this death cage unless an external force rescues you.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua felt somewhat guilty after hearing about her ordeal.
Although she did it for Qin Jia, it was he who initially lied to her.
To express his apology, Qin Luo examined her body again.
After making sure her demonic form was unharmed, and instructing her to rest well,
Then Wu Hua and I jogged to find Dai Dai, Qi Niang, and Tu Men'an.
Daidai had just received the braised pork knuckle that the maid had bought and was about to deliver it to Wuhua when he arrived.
"Little one, can you smell the delicious aroma? Come and have a taste."
Wu Hua instantly forgot all about Qin Jia and Miss Liu's marriage.
He grabbed the pork knuckle and started gnawing on it, making Tu Men'an feel nauseous watching him.
This drew strange looks from everyone else, and Seventh Sister even asked directly.
"An'an, your husband isn't even born yet. You haven't done anything to betray him, have you?"
Tumen pinched his nose, forcing himself not to smell the pork knuckle.
She only stopped feeling nauseous and replied to her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do anything to wrong him."
"What's wrong with you? You look like you're having morning sickness."
Tumen had no idea why; he simply assumed he was just being silly.
"I don't know. I feel nauseous whenever I smell meat. Maybe it's because I was greasy from the pork knuckle yesterday."
Seventh Sister was truly impressed by her; she ruined her stomach just to get angry with a child.
I don't know why there are such stupid people in this world.
"I think you should avoid meat for the next few days and cleanse your stomach."
"Yes, that's what I think too."
Qin Luo, the only one who knew the truth, didn't dare utter a single word under Wu Hua's sidelong glance.
Only after he looked away did he dare to tell her about Qin Jia and Miss Liu.
Then she asked Tumen to quickly buy two sets of wedding clothes, and also asked Qiniang to find a small courtyard as soon as possible.
As a wedding gift for Qin Jia, I'll also help Miss Liu get another household registration.
