Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

"Don't get excited, dear relatives. Those people from the ghost realm are coming with great force and strength, and they have the help of a giant python..." Xiang Ge knew that he was in the wrong and was unable to continue.

"Yes, in-laws. Let's have a cup of hot tea first and discuss this properly." Tong Yuqing quickly ordered someone to set the table and serve the tea. After not seeing him for decades, his old resentment was still as strong as ever, undiminished.

"Dad, it was the great elder Bai Heng from the ghost realm who injured Shu Hong. At that time, the old ghost wanted to kill Yun Chi and Chu Yin, but Shu Hong was hit by his palm in order to save the two children." Xiang Wanrong burst into tears when she said this. Gou Munan hurriedly ran over to help his mother up and calm her down.

"Humph! It's because you're useless!" At this point, Wu Daozi became angry. He glanced at Gou Xiao and said with a wave of his sleeve, "It's useless to marry so many men. Only three of them can fight."

The crying stopped for a moment, and then became louder!

The Zhenbei Wang and his wife's expressions suddenly turned grim, their hearts filled with anger but unable to vent. What their in-laws said... was not without reason. Of their eight sons-in-law, only the eldest, third, and fifth were capable fighters. The second and eighth sons-in-law served in the imperial court. The others were each less capable, though each more beautiful. Thinking of this, they looked at their daughter with a look of disappointment.

Tong Yuqing sipped her tea unhappily, then thought for a moment before finally saying, "My dear, Wanrong has left descendants for every one of her husbands, and even gave birth to twins, Zhifan and Shaoyu. There aren't many people like her in the world."

"So? Only my grandson doesn't have the surname Wu?" Wu Daozi's ire intensified upon hearing this. He'd warned Shu Hong years earlier not to venture into the murky waters of the Zhenbei Palace, but he'd refused to believe it, as if possessed. Now, not only was his son sacrificed, but he was also trying to sacrifice this old man as well. Bai Heng of the Ghost Realm was incredibly powerful. Surviving his clutches was a blessing in disguise.

"Dad, don't worry. Let Yunchi and Chuyin's child have his surname back!" Xiang Wanrong quickly expressed her determination.

Daoist Wu glanced at everyone in the Zhenbei Palace, his chest burning with anger. He pointed at them and said angrily, "What if we can't find that girl?"

"The fact that she hasn't been found means there's a high possibility that she's still alive." At this time, Gou Xiao, who had been silent, spoke.

"What do you mean?" The old leader of the Lie League had extraordinary experience in surviving in the wild, and Wu Daozi wanted to hear more about it.

Gou Xiao had been to the Mushroom Forest before, not many times but he knew a little about it.

"You said that Fufeng Sword Immortal Ji Zhiya originally told Hatsune to run all the way west? The most powerful beasts in the west are ferocious beasts, and the probability of encountering them is low. And the whereabouts of the Ghost Domain Sect Master are unknown now. Hatsune may have encountered him and was captured."

"How can he still be alive?" Xiang Wanrong was horrified and sat up straight suddenly.

"Keep an eye on Huanlin. If the elders come out and Meng Huali isn't there, it means Chu Yin is still alive. And didn't you say that the fifth daughter-in-law is incredibly beautiful?"

"So? You mean Meng Huali won't kill Chu Yin because she's pretty? Did you know he brought all ten elders of the Ghost Realm, including the Sky-Suppressing Python, to kill her?" Xiang Wanrong stared at her long-lost husband in disbelief. He looked like he had a lot more white hair than the last time they saw him.

Gou Xiao was silent, Wu Daozi and Xiang Ge were also silent, only Gou Munan, the straightforward man, had a calm expression and eyes.

"Let's discuss this after Yanli and the others return," the King of Zhenbei said weakly. He felt like he had aged several years these past few days. Family members were injured or missing, and two-thirds of the mansion had collapsed. Fortunately, the treasury was built in the back mountains, otherwise he would have had to die to avenge his ancestors.
