Li Yuan and Xuandu looked at each other, both somewhat bewildered.
"Inter...marriage?"
Baize still wore a friendly smile, displaying the Demon Court's sincerity.
"That's right. The Demon Court has long believed the Human Race to be highly promising and had considered intermarriage. We never expected the Witch Race to beat us to it."
What was wisdom? Even though the Witch Race had initiated intermarriage first,
in the mouth of Baize, the Strategist, black could be called white.
A delighted smile appeared on Guangchengzi's face as he remarked,
"This is a good thing. Both the Wu-Demon races are willing to intermarry with the Human Race."
Duobao and Kong Xuan nodded slightly and put away the Qingping Sword and the Five-Colored Divine Feather.
"So they weren't here to fight."
"What a pity..."
Xuandu looked helplessly at his two junior brothers.
"Fortunately, my Junior Brother Li Yuan isn't the fighting sort."
Li Yuan was still completely confused. What was going on?
Could the butterfly effect really be this terrifying?
"Living in the Primordial World, and this Demon Court's approach toward the Human Race is a little off."
Li Yuan frowned and asked suspiciously,
"You mean the Demon Court truly intends to intermarry with the Human Race, rather than slaughtering them?"
Baize was greatly shocked inwardly. He had not expected the Saint to have already told Li Yuan about the Witch Slaughtering Sword.
Yet his expression remained unchanged. In any case, the Witch Slaughtering Sword plan had ultimately died before it could begin.
As long as no one mentioned it, it was as though the Witch Slaughtering Sword plan had never existed.
Baize maintained his smile and said softly,
"What are you saying, little friend? The Demon Court is absolutely sincere toward the Human Race."
"Moreover, the Human Race was created by Nuwa Saint, and Nuwa Saint is the Empress Wa of our Demon Court."
"No matter what, our Demon Court cannot possibly harbor the slightest ill intent toward the Human Race."
As his words fell, Li Yuan nodded slightly.
"Alright, alright. I'll find a matchmaker to take you on blind dates."
"With your wisdom, Senior, I believe you'll soon understand what blind dates, betrothal gifts, and dowries mean in intermarriage."
Li Yuan's gaze suddenly fell on Guangchengzi, and he said with a smile,
"I'll have to trouble you with this, Junior Brother."
Guangchengzi did not feel much resistance to it.
He led Baize and the other demons away to familiarize them with the matters concerning intermarriage.
By coincidence, they ran into the Great Witch Hou Yi, who had brought members of the Witch Race to attend blind dates.
When the Wu-Demon races met, they were like needle against wheat awn.
Hou Yi swiftly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, a chill in his eyes as he aimed at Baize's head.
He knew he was no match for Baize, but the Witch Race's dictionary did not contain the word retreat.
The many witches behind him also assumed fighting stances.
Baize, meanwhile, lightly waved his feather fan and gestured for the demons behind him to relax. He sneered,
"How crude. We've all brought our juniors here to intermarry with the Human Race."
"Look at you Witch Race. You're ready to fight and kill before you've even exchanged a few words—a pack of uncouth brutes."
"I doubt the humans who intermarry with you will be happy. The Demon Court's younger generation is what everyone truly hopes for."
The Witch Race had never been good with words. After Baize's mockery,
the Great Witch Hou Yi could no longer suppress the fury in his heart and blurted out,
"Bullshit!"
"The humans who marry into our Witch Race are all very happy. Human-Witches have already been born."
"Our Witch Race is only rough when facing demons like you. We're very gentle with our own people."
Baize immediately activated his most venomous passive-aggressive mode.
"Look at that, look at that. He starts cursing the moment he opens his mouth. He simply has no manners."
"Who knows whether you're lying? The Demon Court's juniors would never behave like this."
"We came here sincerely to intermarry. One must treat the Human Race with courtesy. How can you use such crude language in front of the matchmaker?"
Hou Yi was left speechless by the rebuttal, his face flushed red.
If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!
"Y-you... Why does your Demon Court get to intermarry with the Human Race? Our Witch Race clearly came first."
"Don't you know everything has to follow the order of arrival?"
Baize remained calm, a faint smile on his face as he said softly,
"Who says intermarriage with the Human Race is a privilege exclusive to your Witch Race? Look at you, already trying to claim the Human Race for yourselves."
"Our Demon Court does not think that way. We are willing to let the Human Race intermarry with other living beings of the Primordial World. We have the bigger picture in mind."
"Do you see the Human Race as your own dependents?"
"Oh, how overbearing indeed."
Hou Yi was so furious he was nearly in tears, constantly shouting,
"You deserve to die! You deserve to die, Baize! Why don't you just die?!"
"Our Witch Race absolutely does not mean that, but blind dates should still follow the order of arrival!"
Baize snorted coldly, his grand bearing fully displayed with a wave of his hand.
"Hmph, the Demon Court has never believed in any order of arrival."
"Our Demon Court is willing to offer a betrothal gift: one low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
Hou Yi refused to be outdone and replied,
"You make it sound like our Witch Race is poor."
"Three! Three low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures! Don't let your Demon Court think our Witch Race can't afford it!"
The two sides instantly began competing, neither willing to yield.
"A mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure! One mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, how about it?!"
"I'll match it! Two mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures! It's not as though the Witch Race can't afford them!"
"Three mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Don't make your Witch Race bleed too badly."
"One high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure! Do you really think our Witch Race fears your Demon Court?!"
"..."
Guangchengzi merely watched the two sides with a complicated expression.
Just then, Li Yuan happened to pass by, curiosity appearing on his face.
"Oh? Did the Primordial World already have the beginnings of an auction house at this point?"
Duobao pointed at Baize and Hou Yi, who were red-faced and thick-necked in the distance.
"It seems the Wu-Demon races are arguing over blind dates."
The moment he heard that, Li Yuan hurriedly charged over.
I knew something was bound to go wrong.
Li Yuan instantly stepped between Baize and Hou Yi and quickly said,
"Stop, stop, stop! Give me some face!"
His face-saving ability immediately took effect.
Hou Yi respected Li Yuan for coming up with this win-win method of intermarriage.
Baize, meanwhile, was wary of Li Yuan's status as a Saint's direct disciple.
The two sides gave him face and both fell silent.
Li Yuan said helplessly,
"The Human Race, the Demon Court, and the Witch Race all have countless juniors. There are more blind-date candidates than one could count, so there's no need to fight over a single one."
"Besides, if you carry on like this, you'll disrupt the rules of blind dating. I hope both sides will abide by the rules, or neither of you will be allowed to intermarry with the Human Race again."
"Most importantly, the one attending this blind date is a man. Why are you arguing over the amount of the betrothal gift?"
At those words, Baize's mouth fell slightly open, utterly bewildered.
Hou Yi, however, was still unable to quell his anger and shouted,
"That's not impossible!"
In an instant, everyone stared at Hou Yi in shock.
The witches behind him were nearly in tears.
"Brother, I really can't do it."
Hou Yi turned around and roared,
"If I say you can, then you can!"
Baize respectfully clasped his hands in salute.
"You are the real men. I concede. I'll back down!"
