The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Xue An's forehead, dripping down the curve of his forehead and into his eye.

He blinked and cried out in a dry voice, "My Lord Demon Lord, I don't understand what you're saying."

"Suiyi also has half of my Xue family's blood in her."

"Ziyan married into Ximing City and finally gained a foothold. I'm happy for the Xue family head, so how could I possibly have the intention to harm her and her daughter?"

"If we're talking about personal relationships, I would never risk my own family's lives to frame the Demon Lord."

Yun Yici said, seemingly unintentionally, "That's strange indeed."

"The Demon Lord asked if you knew about it, not if you did it."

"You're already so eager to plead your innocence? Are you feeling guilty?"

Xue An acted one way towards Shen Huaichuan, and another way towards Yun Yici.

However, with Shen Huaichuan present, he had to restrain himself and give Yun Yici face: "Fairy, you're making things difficult for me."

"Didn't the Demon Lord imply that it was my doing just now?"

"Yan'er, do you miss me like this too?"

Xue An adopted a benevolent expression as if pleading with Xue Ziyan to speak on his behalf.

Xue Ziyan, who had stood up to check on the situation, turned back and hugged her daughter tightly.

Yun Yici saw her lips tremble slightly before she slowly uttered a few words: "I naturally trust my uncle and the Xue family."

After Xue Ziyan finished speaking, she forced a smile at Yun Yici: "Perhaps this is a misunderstanding."

"It's rare for us to get together like this, so let's make a big deal out of it and forget about these unpleasant things."

Is this a matter of life and death for my daughter, and you're just going to let it go so easily?

Yun Yici continued to probe meaningfully: "Sister Xue, please entrust Suiyi to my care as soon as possible. You said you were going to see your mother. How is your mother?"

Before Xue Ziyan could answer, Xue An immediately said, "Yan'er's mother is now my fourth brother's second wife, how could it be bad?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I will give you a satisfactory answer after the banquet."

Shen Huaichuan said calmly, "No need."

"Since you have the audacity to scheme against those demons, you should be prepared to pay the price."

As soon as Shen Huaichuan finished speaking, Yun Yici saw that the direction from which they had come was now filled with demonic energy, and many winged people had transformed into their original forms and were rushing towards this place.

The first member of the Feather Clan to break free of the Xue family guards and rush onto the platform transformed into the female demon who had exchanged a few words with Yun Yici that afternoon.

She rushed in and was relieved to see that Xue Ziyan and Sui Yi were safe and sound.

The female demon stepped forward to protect Xue Ziyan and the other woman, then quickly reported what had happened in the courtyard: "As soon as the Demon Lord and the others left, the demons rioted."

"Since the lady and the young master have both left the villa, we also do not wish to cause trouble with the demons."

"But those demons seemed to have lost their minds and launched an attack on us on their own initiative."

Despite the female demon's forced composure, Xue Ziyan still caught a glimpse of her suppressed fear.

She reached out and grasped the female demon's hand, asking with concern, "Is everyone seriously injured?"

The female demon shook her head, saying guiltily, "Madam, I..."

We are sorry.

"We weren't seriously injured."

"But we were too busy taking care of ourselves at the time, and we don't know why your father was there..."

Xue Ziyan trembled and took a deep breath: "You mean my father?"

No matter how much flesh Xue Han has, if he falls into the hands of three hundred berserk demon generals, he will only face death.

Xue An's refined and serene face instantly twisted, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, very well indeed."

Shen Huaichuan lightly tapped the rim of the wine glass in front of him: "Clan Chief Xue, the leader of the bandits has been killed, and I am very satisfied with your Xue family's response."

"I should go back and clean up this mess."

"I urge Clan Chief Xue to keep his clansmen in check and prevent such incidents from happening again."

"Furthermore, I am also very curious. If even the Xue clan chief, as her uncle, cannot be so ruthless, how come Xue Han, as Madam Xue's biological father, can be so cruel as to kill his granddaughter?"

The bewildered female demon was stunned on the spot.

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Shen Huaichuan and Yun Yici returned directly to their residence.

The Xue family's guards suffered countless casualties, with blood splattered all over the ground.

However, they were like emotionless puppets, charging wave after wave towards the fierce and ruthless demons.

The scene was chaotic. Shen Huaichuan released his aura, pressing everyone down under his feet.

"Okay."

As he spoke, the Crimson Demon Lord, who had been charging at the forefront with bloodshot eyes, immediately regained his senses.

After taking in everything around him and the blood-stained magic weapon in his hand...

He jolted awake, then howled, "Injustice! Demon Lord!"

"I was just about to have the Xue family host a welcome dinner for us."

"But then I discovered a very strange fragrance in the courtyard, and I don't know what happened after that."

The Crimson Flower Demon Lord was also terrified when he recalled all of this.

The moment he smelled that scent, he became possessed, his desires amplified, and he felt that everyone in front of him deserved to die!

Fortunately, the demon race still retained its nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and their first reaction was to attack the even weaker human race.

Otherwise, they would have killed each other.

The Crimson Flower Demon Lord subconsciously sniffed the air.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, which completely masked the strange fragrance.

Shen Huaichuan said, "I understand, go back now."

Of the cultivators sent by the Xue family to suppress the demon race, many have died or been wounded, with only a few still alive.

"You have all heard the explanation from my subordinates."

"Let's report this to Chief Xue."

"I am new to the human realm and do not wish to make enemies with the Xue family. I do not wish to delve into what happened tonight."

"I will pay a visit when the Demon King of Ximing City arrives."

The Crimson Flower Demon Lord, unaware of what had happened, was now completely convinced of Shen Huaichuan's protectiveness.

I wish I could swear to the heavens on the spot that I would follow him to the death.

Xue Ziyan, who arrived late, overheard everything.

She sighed inwardly, realizing that this Demon Lord was indeed no ordinary person.

With a mix of tension and relaxation, he not only exposed the Xue family's scheme but also transformed a guilty party into a righteous victim.

The Xue family was manipulated by him, suffering great losses but unable to break off relations.

The Xue family would never have taken the initiative to break off relations before Shen Huaichuan did so.

There will be no sleep tonight.

Not long after Yun Yici and Shen Huaichuan returned to their residence, they heard a loud noise coming from next door.

Yun Yici said helplessly, "It seems we scared them away."

The commotion clearly indicates they're in a hurry to move.

Shen Huaichuan smiled and said, "She will come."

Zhu Jian curiously poked his head out: "How did you know that the Xue family wanted to use the demons to harm that little girl?"

Shen Huaichuan said, "Previously, I wrapped a wisp of demonic energy around a certain demon, and then went to the vicinity to find traces of the Xue family."

Yun Yici exclaimed, "So that's how it is. I really thought you were good at divination."

"However, I'm a little worried about the strange fragrance that Demon Lord Chihua mentioned."
