Demon Ghost Domain Trial (I)

"Huh!" Yue Qianchou paused in mid-air, looking towards the direction of the Cultivation Pavilion. He saw hundreds of figures streaking away through the air. It was the first time he had ever seen so many people from Fu Xian Island mobilize at once. He stopped his urge to go and see, and shook his head, thinking to himself, "Anyway, it's none of my business. I'll just ask Old Man Fei later."

Myriad Fragrance Garden was arguably the place Yue Qianchou was most familiar with on Fu Xian Island, besides the Alchemy Pavilion. The disciples outside the main hall didn't even try to stop him when they saw him; they just glanced at him briefly before looking away. Yue Qianchou swaggered in as if he were returning home.

Three female disciples of varying ages stood before Fei Denan, who sat upright in the center of the hall, seemingly giving him instructions. Upon seeing Yue Qianchou, Fei Denan, his face somewhat gloomy, waved to the three and said, "You may leave now!" The three took their leave.

Yue Qianchou recognized the three women and nodded to them as they passed by, but noticed that their expressions seemed rather unpleasant. He walked to the center, gave a casual bow, and said, "Elder Fei."

Then, patting his stomach, he said, "Elder Fei, do you have anything to eat here? I haven't eaten for days." He said it so smoothly.

"Hmph! What do you take my Myriad Fragrance Garden for? There's nothing for you to eat here," Fei Denan said through gritted teeth.

Seeing Yue Qianchou fills him with rage. Every time this guy comes, he's either trying to trick his daughter, or he's trying to steal things. If he can't steal anything, he'll steal food. In short, Myriad Fragrance Garden has become his kitchen. These days, this scoundrel is practically a food-grubber. And the thing is, you can't find him when you're looking for him, but he shows up when he's hungry. Isn't that infuriating?

Yue Qianchou scratched his head and said, "Oh, is that so? I'm starving. I'll go find something to eat first. I'll take my leave now." He turned and left without hesitation. Fei Denan's facial muscles twitched, showing signs of an impending outburst.

"Yue Qianchou!" Furong, who had come upon hearing the voice, emerged from behind the hall and called out, clutching the cheapest Storage Bag given to her by Yue Qianchou, and hurried over.

"Heh! Senior sister! What are you doing here?" Yue Qianchou turned around and asked in surprise. He always had this expression, an expression that Fei Denan hated very much.

Furong nodded and asked timidly, "Are you leaving?"

"Sigh! There's nothing I can do. You have no idea how busy and tired I am in the Alchemy Pavilion. I haven't eaten for days, so I'm going to find somewhere to fill my stomach first. I'll come back to play with you later." Yue Qianchou waved goodbye.

"Wait... wait," Furong said somewhat anxiously.

"Senior sister, can we talk about this after I've eaten?" Yue Qianchou said, sounding a little aggrieved.

"I... I..." Furong didn't know what to say, and turned her head timidly to look at Fei Denan.

The latter saw that Yue Qianchou was lying to his daughter again, his face full of anger, his beard moving without wind. Suddenly, he saw his daughter looking at him with a pitiful look on her face, as if asking for help. Fei Denan's anger vanished, his heart was shattered, and he waved his hand weakly, saying, "Take him to the back to get something to eat!"

In fact, with Fei Denan's cultivation level at the early Tribulation stage, he no longer needed to eat the grains of the mortal world. However, his daughter had not yet reached the Core Formation stage Grain Avoidance and needed to abstain from grains, so he specially asked someone to buy all kinds of delicacies. But his daughter rarely ate them. Whenever he saw her thin body, Fei Denan felt endless self-blame.

In the back hall of the main hall, Furong displayed a table full of things that Fei Denan had asked someone to buy, as if presenting a treasure. Yue Qianchou grabbed them without hesitation and stuffed them into his mouth, constantly saying "Delicious, delicious."

"Wow! I've had that before, it's roast duck from 'Quanshede' in Beijing, China. I haven't had it in ages. Senior Sister, could you please bring it down for me?" Yue Qianchou mumbled, pointing at the roast duck with a chicken leg in his mouth. Furong obediently brought it over.

Seeing Yue Qianchou eating so much, Fei Denan, who was sitting to the side, felt a little sorry for him. All of this was food he had bought for his daughter, but he was making it seem like he wouldn't stop until he finished it all.

Yue Qianchou glanced at him occasionally, thinking to himself, "Old man, you forced me to carry manure for your daughter for over a year, and now I'm here to collect interest. Might as well take advantage of it." He grabbed a jug of wine and gulped it down, swallowing the food in his mouth. Suddenly, he paused and said, "Senior sister, don't just watch me eat! Eat some too!" He tore off a duck leg and handed it to her, saying, "Senior sister, I won't be happy if you don't finish this."

Furong nodded obediently, took the food with her slender hand, and began to nibble on it gently. Only at these times would Fei Denan's gaze soften slightly when he looked at Yue Qianchou. Regardless of whether these words were lies to his daughter, at least they were well-intentioned lies beneficial to her health.

"Elder Fei, when I came here just now, I saw hundreds of people from the Cultivation Pavilion flying out of Fu Xian Island together. Could something have happened outside the island?" Yue Qianchou was good at seizing the right moment to ask questions, knowing that this was when he was least averse to Yue Qianchou.

Furong, biting into a duck leg with her delicate teeth, looked curiously at her father, whom she had never called "father," seemingly waiting for his answer. She was interested in all topics Yue Qianchou brought from outside, because she rarely interacted with others; Yue Qianchou was an exception.

Fei Denan's gaze instinctively swept past his daughter's disfigured face, and he said in a deep voice, "Isn't this all the work of the Qingguang Sect?"

"Qingguang Sect?" Yue Qianchou asked, noticing that Furong had almost finished eating the duck. He casually picked up a pig's trotter and handed it to her, saying, "It's all bones left, don't gnaw anymore, eat this." He was already full and was in the mood to offer food to others.

Furong put down the bone in her hand, took the pig's trotter and slowly gnawed on it. She still listened attentively to the conversation between the two. Suddenly, she found that the food in her hand was a little hard to eat, but she still chewed it carefully. As long as Yue Qianchou asked her to eat something, she would eat it no matter how bad it tasted.

Fei Denan paused and said, "The Qingguang Sect spearheaded a 'Demon Extermination Assembly,' pulling in some minor sects and causing trouble everywhere, relentlessly attacking the demonic path. As a result, they killed the grandson of the Grand Elder of the Blood God Hall. The Blood God Hall is the second-ranked sect in the demonic path, not inferior even to the Myriad Demon Palace. Why would they be afraid of the so-called 'Demon Extermination Assembly' organized by the Qingguang Sect? In a fit of rage, half of the Blood God Hall mobilized, annihilating seven or eight Righteous Path sects in First Company, and even launching a strong attack on the Qingguang Sect. Fortunately, the Qingguang Sect is not an ordinary sect that is all bark and no bite. It has hidden many experts within, and it actually held on, preventing the Blood Demon Palace from succeeding for a time. However, it couldn't hold out for long. Hearing that the opponent was going to send more people, the Qingguang Sect panicked. That's why they came to our Fu Xian Island under the guise of seeking joint assistance."

Yue Qianchou had heard Yan Zixia mention the 'Demon Extermination Assembly,' but he hadn't expected the Qingguang Sect to cause such a big commotion. He was somewhat flustered, especially since Qu Ping'er was still at the Qingguang Sect! He hurriedly asked, "Were those people who left the Cultivation Pavilion going to the Qingguang Sect to lend their support?"
