His voice was deep and mysterious, immediately drawing all my attention.
"A long, long time ago..." Father continued, "Our ancestors, together with the first city lord and the Blood Eater, suppressed a great demon, said to be the mountain monster Kui Xu. At that time, it conspired with other demons to commit many evils and harmed many people..."
Feng Zangce remembered that his eyes widened as he opened them, his heart filled with fear, yet he still hoped for a chance.
I must see for myself what this monster looks like.
"Really? Father, that monster is so evil! Can you take me to see it?" he asked impatiently.
However, Father shook his head, his tone filled with a sigh and a longing for the outside world.
"Ce'er, our Feng family has always taken it upon ourselves to guard against powerful demons. When you grow up, you will understand how terrifying demons are. They can kill us all with a wave of their hand. Don't even think about going to see any demons in the future, understand?"
Will they escape?
"No, only when the blood of three different people are destined to meet can the cage be opened!"
"That…"
I was about to ask something else when my mother came over and interrupted me.
"The child is still young, why tell him these things? When he inherits the position of family head, the elders will naturally tell him everything. What if he secretly goes to see it someday?"
After her mother finished speaking, her father immediately looked at her and comforted her.
"My lady! Don't worry! No one but the clan chief can enter the bottom of the city. Besides, our Ce'er is so well-behaved, he certainly won't be naughty and run off by himself!"
He remembered that after his father finished speaking, he turned to look at him and asked a question.
"Isn't that right, Ce'er!"
"Yes, Ce'er is the best!"
"Oh, yes! Our Ce'er is the best..."
Qin Luo and Wu Hua noticed that he was sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling, and they knew he was lost in memories.
Qin Luo reached out and snapped her fingers near his ear.
"Hey! Wake up, after thinking for so long, have you come up with anything useful?"
Feng Zangce regained his composure, looked into Qin Luo's eyes, and spoke with fear in his voice.
"Kui Xu, the one imprisoned under the city is Kui Xu, who was suppressed by the first city lord and the Blood Eater, along with my ancestors. I don't know anything else!"
"Kui Xu? What's that?"
Wu Hua raised her little hand at the opportune moment
"I know that Kui Xu is a mountain monster with many brothers. According to records, they are somewhat mischievous and often come to the human world to tease humans!"
"Naughty?"
Feng Zangce could hardly believe what he was hearing, and suddenly raised his voice to shout at Wu Hua.
“My father said that Kui Xu and his accomplices committed many evils and killed many innocent people. You call that being naughty? If murder and arson are only considered being naughty, then what kind of order is there in the world?”
Wu Hua was startled by its sudden roar and froze completely.
Qin Luo quickly picked it up, then glared at Feng Zangce.
"Why are you yelling? I already said it's recorded in the book. If you're so capable, go yell at the author! Why are you yelling at my kid?"
Kui Duo glared at him coldly, as if he were a heinous criminal.
Feng Zangce realized he had just lost his composure and looked at Wu Hua with a face full of apology.
"My dear child, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I was just too emotional. Can you forgive me?"
Wu Hua got angry too; she was just trying to explain science.
I was yelled at for no reason, and I felt so wronged.
Burying her little head in Qin Luo's neck, she wouldn't lift it up no matter how much Feng Zangce tried to please her.
Upon waking, Ci Yue heard the commotion and ran over.
Qin Luo was seen comforting Wu Hua while holding her, and the two people who were originally lying on the ground had become three.
She didn't disturb Qin Luo from comforting the baby, but instead went to Kui Duo's side to ask.
"What's wrong?"
Kui Duo immediately pointed at Feng Zang Ce
"He yelled at the baby!"
Upon hearing that someone was bullying Wu Hua, Ci Yue rolled up her sleeves and walked up to Feng Zang Ce.
After seeing his face clearly, he rolled up his sleeves again.
But I still mustered up the courage to ask.
"Don't think that just because you're the young master of the letter-seekers, I'm afraid of you! Why are you being so mean to our little one? Our little one is so cute, how could you say such a thing?"
Feng Zangce explained again that he didn't mean it, but only misspoke in a moment of panic.
His attitude was so sincere that Ci Yue felt she had wronged him.
Just as she was about to persuade Wu Hua to forgive Feng Zangce, Wang Yue, who had finished cooking, walked in.
Seeing Wu Hua's buried face and Qin Luo comforting her.
He rushed over to inquire what had happened and learned that he had been bullied by Feng Zangce.
He strode up to him, staring at him with an imposing gaze.
"What do you mean? They've always considered you a friend, went to great lengths to save you, and didn't ask for anything in return. And this is how you treat Zai Zai? How can you live with yourself?"
At this moment, Feng Zangce was on the verge of tears and could only explain the situation once again.
The two guards also testified for their master, confirming that Wang Yue knew he hadn't done it on purpose.
Not knowing what to say, she just smiled shyly at him.
Turning around, he walked to Qin Luo's side and hugged Wu Hua into his arms.
"Sweetie, I made lots of delicious food! I even made some meat patties especially for you, they smell so good! Let's not be angry anymore, let's go eat, okay?"
Upon hearing about food, Wu Hua's slight grievance vanished instantly.
"Okay, let's eat! Wang Yue's cooking is the best!"
Seeing that it smiled, Wang Yue picked it up and headed towards the kitchen.
Qin Luo, Ci Yue, and Kui Duo, along with the Mountain Spider, followed closely behind.
The three wounded men were left behind, looking at each other in bewilderment.
