Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 284 A Bone Woman Who Sold Her Father to Bury Him (37)

"What's wrong? Mi You, Fox."

Song Yue peeked out, gracefully flipped down from the tree, and even brushed off non-existent snowflakes from his body, seemingly unaware of the content of their pleasant conversation.

"You! You even mentioned proposing marriage last time!" Xia Youmi said angrily.

"Propose marriage?"

Fox was puzzled. It had vaguely heard about the couple's good news, but it hadn't expected them to be so serious.

Demon cultivators typically do not make marriage agreements with humans.

They're worlds apart in age; it would take years for them to get to know each other. Mi You and Song Yue, on the other hand, have only known each other for a few months!

"I was the one who proposed marriage, what's wrong with that?" Song Yue looked completely innocent.

"What's the quality of your brother's horse? Does it have a good physique?" Xia Youmi asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"No! I promise, Sansheng has no lover! It's very proud! And very obedient..." Song Yue raised his hands, listing Sansheng's good qualities, seemingly convinced that they were in love and that's why they had gotten together.

"Puch!"

“Mi You, I’ll write a letter and have someone send Xiao Douzi to Shun’an Town! My brother is very good at taking care of horses. With him and Sansheng around, you can rest assured.”

"What help can Sansheng offer?"

"It can make Xiaodouzi happy!"

"Haha! Young Master Song, you don't need to look for someone else. I'll go back and help you out!" Hu You took the job without any hesitation.

"Thank you." Song Yue, now more connected to Mi You, didn't mind that Hu You, the demon, had known Mi You earlier. Everyone has the right to make friends freely.

He was also unaware that he was the one who first interacted with Mi You.

After this matter is finished, Foxy will continue:

"Miyou, we found the banyan tree you mentioned, but we didn't find Snowball."

"Was the letter delivered?"

"Yes, yes! Banyan Tree said it will pass it on. Also, I heard that Snowball's cultivation is going very well, and he has made many friends." Fox Yo is always meticulous when helping others.

Not only did they ask the banyan tree, but they also checked the situation with the surrounding monsters.

Make sure you are not deceived.

Xia Youmi also trusted Lin He and Hu You, and based on her own calculations, she concluded that Du Cheng's trade route was most likely opened on the cliffside route. It didn't pass through Anle City at all; those routes were just a smokescreen.

Shunan Town has a thriving commercial sector, attracting numerous merchants and making it suitable for centralized procurement of goods.

And that unusual path can only be traversed by agile half-demon beasts.

Monkey King scouted the path back then, and while it might not have noticed, the old cat certainly recorded it accurately. If Xia Youmi had only followed the cliff and hadn't rejoined the group, he probably would have reached the Wuxiang Mountain area long ago.

Another possibility is that, based on the few words Lin He and his companions uttered, it can be inferred that the caravan on this trade route didn't simply follow the path from beginning to end. If she were in charge of the arrangements, she would have deployed personnel in the more difficult sections.

Only a few agile people are arranged to transport the goods back and forth, while the goods can be handed over to half-demons who are not very capable of carrying goods up the cliff, so that they can take turns.

in this way,

This greatly shortens the time it takes for goods to arrive.

Inviting them to take a look at Snowball on their way is also a verification.

The location where the coffin was hidden was not revealed; only the characteristics of the banyan tree were mentioned.

The banyan tree had already promised to guard the snowball's cultivation, so since it hadn't received a reply, it helped to pass it on.

That was the answer that Xia Youmi expected.

After they finished catching up, it was almost time to say goodbye. Song Yue also kindly gave them some snacks, telling Hu You that Mi You had taught him how to make them, and thanking Hu You for her help.

Fox You naturally accepted it with a smile; it was also clever and perceptive.

Even in a short time together, one can glean a lot from their interactions.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the atmosphere conveyed it all; it seemed that Song Yue still had a long way to go.

......

The caravan departed.

The place fell silent once more. Along with the heavy snowfall, there were burning hearts, an irrepressible desire, and small animals gradually hibernating.

Xia Youmi didn't feel cold.

She settled Song Yue in a warm little wooden cabin, leaving all the blankets and quilts for him, while she meditated alone in the treehouse.

The two became increasingly in sync, and Song Yue even asked Xia Youmi about her birthday.

He's always secretly tinkering with something.

Since that conversation, Cai Fu has never come to see Xia Youmi again. However, he has run into Cai Wenle and the leader of the Kyushu Alliance a few times, becoming somewhat familiar with them, and the two have been fairly friendly and welcoming to each other.

The Mountain and Sea Alliance also made continuous moves, sending out a male demon beast.

Come over here and try to persuade Xia Youmi to abandon that trivial and insignificant alliance and join the more powerful and wise Mountain and Sea Alliance.

That male demon beast was no simple creature either; it probably had figured out her preferences, possessing both a strong physique and a shy, pretty face.

This infuriated Song Yue to the point of rage.

He started swearing and cursing! He had absolutely no manners!

In the end, however, he received comforting and pitying words from Xia Youmi.

The Mountain and Sea Alliance has grown a brain; next time, they actually sent a feisty one! They seem very confident that they've got Xia Youmi's cuteness factor figured out.

Then Song Yue slapped him back.

Who said that the fierce monster had no fighting skills, only verbal prowess?

After that, the Mountain and Sea Alliance stopped trying to win over Xia Youmi.

However, Song Yue was chosen by a team of demon hunters...

Back then,

Xia Youmi, who had concealed her aura, watched the show from the treehouse without attracting any attention.

Beneath the tree, Song Yue was locked in a fierce battle with the vicious demonic beast sent by the Mountain and Sea Alliance. The young man's gaze was resolute, his demeanor pure, and he showed no mercy to the demonic beast, yet there was not a trace of bloodlust or cruelty in his attacks.

That kind of virtuous and upright Buddha-like demeanor is exactly the image that demon hunters love most, isn't it?

Even the male protagonist's initial success was due to the contrast between his compassionate appearance and ruthless actions.

Add to that a bit of background information, and it attracts countless demon hunters and demons to follow it.

The female protagonist's innate attraction to monsters leads her to become a demon hunter, which is also a kind of extreme contrast.

only,

Because of Du Cheng's improvement of the living environment for half-demons, demon cultivators have also become accustomed to coming here to enter the mountains to cultivate, and no longer cause trouble in the human world.

The business and status of demon hunters have plummeted.

Those half-demons who received education and understood the rules of survival in the human world gradually became more lucid when they went out to do errands or spread information.

They are more likely to reform demons, and occasionally, they even take over the work of demon hunters, leading them back to Anle City to start a new life.

Isn't this stealing people's jobs?

Even more so, a joke is circulating widely in the demon realm.

In order to boost their performance, a demon hunter in a certain area deliberately impersonated a monster and caused trouble among the people, then staged his own attempt to subdue it.

This matter caught Du Cheng off guard, and he immediately launched a thorough investigation, even taking it to the emperor and the man's ancestral master. The situation was so egregious that the man ended up losing his robe and suffering a miserable fate.

Monsters have been using this joke to tease demon hunters for years.

How can the conflict between the two sides not escalate dramatically?

Ultimately, it was for survival, and also for revenge.

Many demon hunters take on the task of taming spirit pets. They will train all kinds of beautiful women or servant monsters for the powerful and wealthy, and master the methods to subdue them.

Du Cheng tried to seek justice again, but was blocked by the emperor's lackeys. They even cited classical texts, saying that such things had happened throughout history.

But anyone with eyes to see knows that emperors are always afraid that a certain power will become too strong and disrupt the balance.

The truth? Justice?

No, it's ash.
