An Ge tugged at her master's sleeve and embellished her story of what had happened to her in the past few days.
Jiang Shang felt heartbroken after hearing this, but his disciple was no ordinary person, and there were many things that even he could not do.
"Having spiritual power alone won't do. From today onwards, you'd better practice your spells properly." Seeing An Ge obediently nod, he suddenly remembered, "How did you end up with the demon race? And why are you from the Heavenly Demon City?"
An Ge swallowed hard, suddenly feeling hesitant to mention Hu Jiu's existence for some reason. She cautiously looked at Jiang Shang and asked, "Master, do you know Hu Jiu, the young master of the demon race?"
Jiang Shang frowned at the mention of Hu Jiu. "We're talking about you. Why bring up that troublemaker?"
"A scoundrel, a devil incarnate?" Now it was An Ge's turn to be surprised. Was Hu Jiu's name really that special?
Thinking of the demon clan's young master's face, Jiang Shang worried that his little disciple had been deceived. Recalling the rumors he had heard, he said, "Although I haven't had much contact with the demon clan's young master, I have heard about the young prodigies."
The young master of the demon race is exceptionally talented, but I've heard he's neither entirely righteous nor entirely wicked, and has entanglements with the demon race. You young ladies mustn't be fooled by his handsome face.
Then, Jiang Shang told An Ge about the rumors he had heard.
Hearing about how she loved to cause trouble everywhere, challenging geniuses from various sects and making their Dao hearts unstable; how arrogant she was, and how she disrespected the elders and sect leaders of various sects because of her status as the young master of the demon race, etc., An Ge was dumbfounded.
She knew Hu Jiu wasn't a humble person, but she didn't expect him to be so arrogant.
Looking at his little apprentice's blank face, Jiang Shang earnestly warned him: "The Demon King once wanted to send him to various sects for cultivation, but the sects risked being hated by the demon race and still refused him."
Although Hu Jiu isn't exactly a villain who bullies men and women, the fact that he can be friends with scum of the demon race shows he's no good either.
An Ge asked somewhat guiltily, "What demon scum?"
Jiang Shang shook his head. "Although the human race and the demon race are relatively peaceful, they have always been at odds with the demon race. I've only heard that he's someone being hunted down by the demon royal family, named Lu, Lu something."
"Lu Yan?"
"Yes, Lu Yan! You heard it from the demon race? No, we were just talking about you, how did it suddenly turn to unrelated people?"
An Ge chuckled awkwardly, "It's not exactly unrelated, I just happen to know those two people you mentioned, Master."
Under his master's puzzled and shocked expression, An Ge explained the recruitment process.
After speaking, the two fell silent. After a long while, Jiang Shang finally spoke, "Even with the contract, you can't be too careless." Putting aside everything else, these two are top-tier in strength. He didn't know whether to say his disciple was lucky or unlucky.
An Ge nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to give Hu Jiu a proper status.
Then An Ge saw her master's face turn from red to black, his eyes practically spitting fire, "You, how could you be with that kid! You're going to be the death of your master! I knew it! How could that kid be so willing to stay by your side? He's just trying to steal your sweetheart!"
“Master, calm down. Actually, Hu Jiu is still…” Seeing the glare her master gave her, An Ge immediately changed her words, “At least he’s good-looking, isn’t he? If he’s not good to his disciple, I’ll kick him out immediately. The initiative is on our side.”
Jiang Shang was angry for a while, but it wasn't because his apprentice's partner was Hu Jiu. After hearing An Ge's words, his attitude towards Hu Jiu had changed quite a bit. It was just that the thought of his newly found apprentice being snatched up by someone else made him feel uneasy.
An Ge could tell that her master wasn't really angry, so she fawned over him, serving him tea and water.
Meanwhile, the demon race was also not at peace.
Worried about An Ge, Xiong Dazhuang decided to report the arrival of the young mistress. He went to the demon clan stronghold near the Yiyan Sect and told them about An Ge.
After confirming the matter repeatedly, the Tianyan Sect's demon clan leader quickly reported it. The young master's sudden enlightenment was a major event for the demon clan.
The news was passed up the chain of command and soon reached the ears of the Demon King.
"Bring Xiong Dazhuang here. I need to know the details."
"yes!"
Xiong Dazhuang had been waiting for a long time. He entered the palace with trepidation, his heart filled with both excitement and fear. He never imagined he would have the chance to see the Demon King in his lifetime!
Faced with the Demon King's question, Xiong Dazhuang dared not hide anything and recounted in detail how he met An Ge and recognized her identity.
After Xiong Dazhuang withdrew, the Demon King, abandoning his dignified demeanor, excitedly ran straight to the backyard, shouting, "Madam, Madam, something big has happened!"
"What is it? Could it be that there's news about Jiu'er?" Ever since her foolish son became a divine servant, she had been living in constant fear.
"Madam, don't worry about that silly boy. With his abilities, it's good enough if he doesn't cause us any trouble. Besides, that kid is quite proud of himself now; he's even found a wife."
"What? Jiu'er finally got married because of her face? Tell me what happened." According to the age of demons, Hu Jiu had only recently come of age. But almost all demons would look for a partner as soon as they reached adulthood.
Almost everyone in the demon race knew that Hu Jiu had been averse to women since childhood, and even his personal servants were young men. That's why they were so concerned about their young master having a partner.
People his age usually have several children, but his mentally challenged son is always getting into fights and causing trouble. Because of this, she has suffered a lot of provocation from her so-called sisters-in-law.
Now that Jiu'er has finally come to her senses, how could she not be excited?
After hearing the Demon King's words, the Demon Queen Feng Cai was so excited that she wanted to rush to the Tianyan Sect immediately. "Jiu'er is too amazing! That girl must be a Chosen One. I actually have a Chosen One's daughter-in-law. No, my daughter-in-law is unfamiliar with this place. What if she is mistreated by the people of the Tianyan Sect?"
"Oh, Madam, don't worry. Xiong Dazhuang said that our daughter-in-law is the disciple of True Monarch Lingxiao. That man is very protective of his own, and who in the entire Tianyan Sect would dare not give him face?"
Suddenly remembering something, the Demon King chuckled, "I heard that at the Tianyan Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony a few days ago, a genius suddenly appeared and stirred up strange phenomena in the world with his perfect wood spiritual root. It seems that he was talking about our daughter-in-law."
"Jiu'er has such good taste! No, we still need to find an opportunity to visit the Tianyan Sect. I still need to give my daughter-in-law a gift. By the way, what do you think of my daughter-in-law's temperament?"
Before the Demon King could answer, the Demon Queen said with some concern, "The one who can tolerate Xiao Jiu's temper must be someone without a temper. I'm afraid that Xiao Jiu will always bully her because of his good temper. No, I have to keep an eye on her and not let my daughter-in-law suffer."
"Have some tea, have some tea. Since she's the one Xiao Jiu likes, she probably won't lose her temper with her. Besides, we'll keep an eye on her and make sure our daughter-in-law isn't mistreated."
The Demon Queen glared at the Demon King, "Xiao Jiu's bad temper is all from you. You're too soft-hearted to control him at all."
The Demon King was taken aback. Why had they suddenly turned their attention to him again? He used to be a bit of a troublemaker, but he was well-behaved now!
"Let's think about what to name our grandchildren first, shall we?"
The Empress Dowager became interested. "What you said makes sense. It's not far from naming our grandson and granddaughter. We should start preparing in advance."
So the two of them enthusiastically started naming the unborn little one.
