"Xiaoqian was the daughter of an official's family. While accompanying her father to his new post, she was murdered by a villain and died outside Guo Bei County.
"Her father had no choice but to bury her remains beneath an old tree for the time being, hoping to return and collect her ashes when he had time.
"But who could have guessed that her father would also be murdered by villains soon afterward?
"He never could have imagined that the old tree where he had buried her on a whim was actually a Thousand-Year Tree Demon. It called itself Tree Demon Grandma, and its magical powers were immense.

As Xiaoqian spoke, two streams of tears ran down her cheeks, and her eyes brimmed with hope.
Honestly, Nie Xiaoqian was already so delicate and lovely that she tugged at the heartstrings. Add that tearful expression, and her appeal shot straight through the roof!
Only someone as worldly as Hao Shuai, with countless beauties in his harem, could keep his head and resist agreeing on the spot.
It wasn't that Hao Shuai wanted to refuse her. After all, the Thousand-Year Tree Demon was one of his targets, too.

No~~
He meant he had to lay out his conditions~~
What good was promising to be his ox or
