A human had fallen in love with a demon!
The greatest genius of Wanlin Prefecture, the pride of all its humans, had just declared before them all that he had fallen in love with a demon!
To every human in Wanlin Prefecture, those words rang like a thunderclap, making their scalps go numb.
In the entire city of Wanlin Prefecture, only a few martial artists from the Four Great Departments felt no surprise when they heard the news.
The tangled history between Huang Jiang and Cen Qingqing had long been circulating among the Four Great Departments.
However, not many people actually knew what had happened back then.
Only a few old hands from the Demon Extermination Department, like Elder Jin, knew the matter well.
Lu Yang often brought wine to Elder Jin, and had heard him speak of it a few times.
Cen Qingqing and Chun Tao, Qiu Ju, and the others had similar backgrounds. They could all be called orphans picked up by martial artists from the Demon Extermination Department.
The only difference was that she had been brought back along with her mother.
Cen Qingqing's mother had been an ordinary woman living in a mountain village.
A Demonic Calamity had wiped out their entire village.
Cen Qingqing's mother and many other women from the village had been kidnapped by a Snake Demon and taken to its lair, where they were used as tools to sate its lust.
Later, martial artists from the Demon Extermination Department investigated the Demonic Calamity and tracked the demon to its lair. They stormed it and rescued Cen Qingqing's mother and several women who were barely clinging to life.
It had been an entirely ordinary affair.
Later, Cen Qingqing's mother and the Demon Extermination Department martial artist who had rescued her fell in love
