So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Now Xiaobai was filled with doubt. [Host, why doesn't Zhou Yaozu seem angry at all? The way he looked at you just now was even a little...happy. Did I see things wrong? This doesn't make any sense!]

“In the original text, Zhou Yaoguang always outshone Zhou Yaozu in everything since childhood. I think Zhou Yaozu secretly hopes I’ll beat Zhou Yaoguang to death,” Cang Lan said with a confident expression, raising his chin slightly.

After listening, Xiao Bai nodded as if he suddenly understood, feeling that what the host said made perfect sense.

A short while later, Zhou Cuilan nervously brought out the three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and rice porridge that Cang Lan had requested.

At this moment, Zhou Dafu had just finished washing the clothes and was staring intently at the food on the table. He was starving, but he didn't dare to get too close to Cang Lan.

Zhou Yaozu also dared not move, afraid of being beaten like Zhou Yaoguang by Zhou Erniu. The three of them stood there together, not daring to move.

Canglan then slowly began to examine the dishes Zhou Cuilan had prepared. The three meat dishes were scrambled eggs with scallions, stir-fried green beans with meat, and stir-fried greens with cured meat; the vegetable dish was cold green bean salad; and there was also a fragrant millet porridge. It was indeed a very substantial meal.

In the past, the Zhou family's three daughters would never have been able to eat this meat and eggs. They would either eat what the four of them left over or only be able to eat cold green bean salad.

Upon seeing the bowl of cold green beans, Cang Lan immediately frowned, his face filled with disgust, and he cursed, "You son of a bitch, is all you can do besides cold green beans? Can't you cook any other vegetarian dishes?"

Zhou Cuilan was startled by Cang Lan's sudden question, her eyes darting around in panic. She hurriedly replied, "I...I...the green beans..." She stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence. She thought to herself that she couldn't possibly say there were too many green beans.

"Hmph, remember this! From now on, you can only sit at the table after I've finished eating!" Cang Lan snorted coldly, leisurely picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

Zhou Dafu and the others stood aside, their stomachs growling with hunger, but they could only watch longingly, not daring to make a move. They just hoped that Cang Lan would finish eating quickly so that they could have some to eat.

After Canglan had eaten and drunk his fill, he turned around and went into Zhou Yaoguang and Zhou Yaozu's room.

As soon as they saw Canglan leave, they hurriedly ladled out bowls of rice porridge and gathered around the table. But all that was left on the table was a bowl of cold green bean salad; all the other dishes were gone.

Zhou Yaozu hated green beans the most, and a surge of resentment welled up in his heart. He was about to complain, but when he saw Zhou Yaoguang lying on the ground, he swallowed his words. He didn't want to die.

As Zhou Cuilan shoveled porridge into her mouth, she said, "Eat quickly, San Niu will be..." Before she could finish, Zhou Cuilan suddenly remembered that Zhou San Niu hadn't come home yet. "Wait, it's so late, where did Da Niu and San Niu go?"

This question stunned Zhou Dafu. He stood there dumbfounded. Yes, Zhou Daniu was probably taken away by Granny Zhao. But what about Zhou Sanniu? He hadn't seen her since just now. Thinking of how Zhou Sanniu had suddenly become so strong, Zhou Dafu felt a pang of panic. He didn't want Zhou Sanniu to end up like that. Otherwise, his family of four would be beaten to death by the sisters.

Zhou Yaozu shoveled green beans and rice porridge into his mouth while muttering, "Why should I care what she does? Where can she run off to? Humph, I'm lucky to have food at all." He ate with such ravenous abandon, as if the green beans were the most delicious food in the world, completely forgetting how much he originally hated them.

Seeing Zhou Yaozu's state and then looking at Zhou Cuilan, who was also wolfing down her food, Zhou Dafu felt a pang of panic. He hurriedly reached for his bowl, afraid that if he was too slow, there wouldn't be any left to eat. He muttered, "You guys eat slower, your old man hasn't even had a few bites yet!"

After the three finished their rice porridge, they weren't full, but at least they weren't hungry anymore. Zhou Cuilan suddenly remembered her eldest son lying on the ground. She rushed to Zhou Yaoguang's side in a panic, exclaiming, "Oh dear, why hasn't Yaoguang woken up yet? Is he dead?" Zhou Cuilan was full of anxiety as she pried open Zhou Yaoguang's eyelids.

Reminded by Zhou Cuilan, Zhou Dafu panicked and quickly squatted down. He carefully checked Zhou Yaoguang's breath with his finger and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that he was still breathing. He frowned and said, "What are you yelling about! If you call that madwoman Zhou Erniu over again, the three of us might as well die tonight."

"Father, Mother, why has Zhou Erniu suddenly become so strange these days? Could she be possessed?" Zhou Yaozu shrank his neck, his eyes glancing frequently towards Zhou Erniu's room. The pain from being hit with the ruler was still burning hot.

Zhou Dafu wasn't sure either. How could someone possessed have such great strength? He stroked his chin, thinking of the legends in the village, and said, "I'm afraid he's been possessed by some kind of ghost!"

After Zhou Dafu said that, Zhou Cuilan and Zhou Yaozu also felt that this made sense. Zhou Cuilan said nervously, "Then let's leave quickly tonight while she's asleep, and find Taoist Chen from the next village to help us exorcise the ghost tomorrow."

The three reached a consensus, so they quietly returned to the house, planning to sneak out again in the middle of the night.

[Host, are they talking so loudly because they're afraid you won't hear them?] Little White was embarrassed, its little face full of helplessness.

Cang Lan was speechless. He thought they would come up with some good ideas, but the combined intelligence of the three of them couldn't even match half of Zhou Yaoguang's brain.

In the middle of the night, only Xiaobai diligently kept watch over them, waking Canglan at the slightest sound. But by three in the morning, the three people still hadn't woken up, and their snoring continued incessantly.

Xiao Bai was full of doubts, thinking it was a conspiracy, but he waited until the rooster crowed and none of the three woke up. It was Zhou Yaoguang, who had been knocked unconscious by Cang Lan yesterday, who woke up.

Zhou Yaoguang slowly opened his eyes from the ground. When he turned his head, he saw his parents and Zhou Yaozu sleeping like dead pigs on the bed. This scene made him furious. He had been lying on the ground all night, while the three of them were sleeping on the bed.

He touched the large bump on his head, and a surge of hatred for Zhou Erniu instantly welled up inside him. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes silently, and secretly plotted how to deal with her. He knew he couldn't confront her directly now, or he'd be beaten to death.

A short while later, Zhou Yaoguang also "fell asleep"...

the next day,

A rich aroma of roasted chicken wafted into the room, instantly waking the four people from their sleep.

Zhou Yaozu woke up at the smell. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Mom and Dad, I smell roast chicken! It smells amazing!"
