Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship
Chapter 224 Little Demon 14
Cheng's mother could no longer accept the fact that Cheng Shuo was dead. After she cheered up a little, she hurried to the government to report the case, determined to find out the murderer who killed him.
Coincidentally, the official on duty today was named Fan, and he was a direct descendant of the branch of the aristocratic family in Beijing who had sent gifts to the Cheng family. Naturally, the branch had reported and asked for credit before sending the gifts, so Official Fan had an impression of Cheng Shuo, and therefore paid attention to his movements.
Haha, I can only say that he is a useless and unlucky waste. He passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer but couldn't accept such huge wealth. It's really sad.
Cheng Shuo’s death was not worth mentioning. Lord Fan sent someone to investigate the scene and came to the conclusion that it was a sudden death, and the case was hastily closed.
Cheng's mother cried and pleaded in vain. She was ruthlessly driven out and returned home in disgrace. Cheng Shuo's body had been lying in her house for several days, and she couldn't even afford a decent coffin. She had no money but this house, but the house was a gift from the emperor and could not be bought or sold. What should she do?
Suddenly she heard someone on the street talking about the princess's death. She had an idea and spread the rumor on the street that "Cheng Shuo committed suicide for love with the princess", trying to arouse the sympathy of everyone and the royal family and ask them to take care of her, an elderly widower.
She had a good idea, and she did attract the royal family, but at the same time, they brought her fatal disaster.
Cheng's mother's ending was her own fault. An Yan was slightly surprised to hear the news. She knew that Cheng's mother would have a hard time without her support, so she didn't target her specifically. But she didn't expect that she would think of such a way to seek her own death.
The housekeeper came to report that the lamb was only obedient when being treated, but was acting crazy at other times, smashing things crazily, and was so angry that no one could stop him. He was determined to run away. Now he has been subdued and locked up in the woodshed. What should be done with him?
An Yan told the housekeeper not to pay any attention to it, just lock him up first and take him away after he behaved himself.
Rong Ci completed the procedures that a prince should go through, and after he had arranged the affairs of the palace, he and An Yan left the city hand in hand. They traveled light, driving only one carriage themselves, and the servant who served them only brought a lamb.
The lamb had been hungry for several days and was carried onto a carriage while feeling dizzy from hunger. When she woke up and saw that they had already left the city, she jumped out of the carriage and tried to escape. An Yan did not stop her and instead restored her to her original form. As for whether she could survive in the deep mountains and forests, it depended on herself.
The carriage headed westward and took about half a month to reach the vicinity of Yi County. The entrance to Yao Village was in the deep mountains not far from the county. Because the clan leader was very xenophobic, Rong Ci, a human, could not be brought in until he was persuaded.
Rong Ci didn't mind at all. Anyway, he could stay in the upgraded system space, where there was abundant spiritual energy, food and clothing were all available, and he could be with her all the time. It was perfect for him.
An Yan came to the deep mountains and found a hidden cave entrance. She easily passed the level by following the key in the original owner's memory and saw a unique paradise.
Before she could sigh, a cane was about to fall on her head. An Yan dodged it immediately, and the cane missed. The other party said angrily: "Huh, you've grown up, and you still remember to come back?"
An Yan smiled awkwardly, "Grandpa Chief, Yao Village is my home, how could I not know to come back?" She supported the old and strong chief and went to the place where there were many monsters, thinking that he would definitely not scold her in public.
She greeted her relatives and friends in the village with a smile and received enthusiastic responses.
In the end, the clan leader did not play by the rules. He glared and talked for a long time, but An Yan kept listening in one ear and out the other. Finally, the clan leader got tired of talking and asked, "Let me ask you, do you still dare to sneak out?"
An Yan grinned and didn't respond directly. Instead, she pulled him back to the tree house and poured him a glass of water. "Grandpa Clan Leader, calm down and drink some water to quench your thirst."
The clan leader drank it all in one gulp, smacking his lips in aftertaste. "This water is quite sweet." Then he looked her over and said, "Tell me, were you bullied outside? Are you hurt?"
"Don't worry, I will bully anyone who bullies me back, and I will never suffer any loss. However, I once encountered a very evil demon. He captured many demons for their blood and flesh, and even wanted to kill me to take my heart. I beat him to death."
An Yan frowned, "But I later tracked his breath, and he was clearly still alive. He was faking his death to trick me. Grandpa, clan leader, do you know who he is and what kind of skills he practices? Will he continue to harm fellow demons?"
The clan leader's expression turned grim. "Is that a sheep demon?"
"Yes! It's an antelope."
The clan leader closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them, his eyes were filled with hatred. "That's Ling Yang, the traitor of the demon clan."
He quietly recounted a long-ago story: a hundred years ago, the demon tribe's homeland wasn't where it is today, but another beautiful place. The demon people lived peacefully and happily, and Ling Yang was one of them.
Ling Yang is gifted and strong-willed. He practices magic faster and better than other monsters. His parents died while protecting the clan land, so it is natural that he receives special attention and respect from the clan leader.
But since Ling Yang left the clan several times and met several human beings, he was instigated by cunning people, who believed that the clan leader killed his parents for the position of clan leader and that he was out of guilt. Otherwise, why would he be so kind to him wholeheartedly?
The demon race and the human race have always been at odds with each other, and the clan leader doesn't know why Ling Yang is willing to trust outsiders.
He came back more gloomily each time and insisted on entering the forbidden area. The forbidden area was where evil magic was forbidden, so the clan leader naturally wouldn't agree, and the two of them parted on bad terms.
The chief calculated that the tribe would be in great trouble, and heartbroken, he ordered people to move the cubs and most of the important resources first.
He planned to personally destroy the evil magic in the forbidden area, but before he could do anything, the clan's territory was attacked by Ling Yang and the human race, and a large number of weak monsters were killed.
The clan leader took the small number of surviving demons to find an isolated place to recuperate, and made a rule that they could not leave Yao Village and could not bring humans in, using his own strength to protect the last hope of the demons.
The evil magic that had not been destroyed in time fell into Ling Yang's hands, and as expected, he practiced it.
"Do you know what that evil magic does?"
The clan leader's expression of deep sorrow paused, "I'm warning you, no more curiosity! Serious cultivation is better than anything else."
An Yan was speechless. "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to see how to crack it."
The clan leader stared at her for a long moment, confirming her sincerity before sighing, "I once secretly took a look. It's possible to create a few more bodies for yourself to cultivate, which is equivalent to having a few more lives."
