A Colossal Deception, a Demon Race Traitor

Hu Meiniang nervously pulled Chen Changsheng into the room.

When old acquaintances met again, Hu Meiniang was filled with emotion. Countless words rose in her heart, yet they lodged stubbornly in her throat.

After hesitating for a long while, Hu Meiniang could only repeat herself.

"Senior, you should not have come to the Night Moon Kingdom. The Night Moon Kingdom is a place where trouble breeds."

Chen Changsheng smiled faintly at this. "It seems this Little Fox knows quite a lot!"

"But that has nothing to do with me. My goal is simple: I only wish to marry Princess Wanyan."

"I will not concern myself with anything else."

Seeing Chen Changsheng's calm demeanor, Hu Meiniang grew even more anxious.

"Senior, you have never met Princess Wanyan. I know you certainly did not come for her."

"But no matter what you came for, please leave the Night Moon Kingdom at once."

"The Son-in-law Recruitment Assembly is a deception. There is no benefit for you in staying here."

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Upon hearing this, the tethered Little White Wolf suddenly began barking furiously.

She seemed to be berating this traitor of the Demon Race.

Unfortunately, Hu Meiniang was from the Fox Clan, not the Dog Clan, so she could not understand dog language.

"A deception?"

"Now that is interesting. Both the Fox Clan and Tiger Clan, the two pillars of the Night Moon Kingdom, are taking part. How could this be a deception?"

"Besides, even if it is a deception, how would a mere member of the Demon Race like you know about it?"

Faced with Chen Changsheng's questions, Hu Meiniang was rendered speechless.

In the end, Hu Meiniang clenched her silver teeth and said, "Senior, if you had not bestowed that opportunity upon me back then—"

"Meiniang would likely never have reached Foundation Establishment. But I cannot tell you about the deception behind the Son-in-law Recruitment Assembly."

"I can only tell you that the location of the Son-in-law Recruitment Assembly will certainly be set within the Forbidden Ground of the Night Moon Kingdom."

"If one does not possess the crucial item, entering that place means certain death."

"The Fox Clan and Tiger Clan have already obtained that crucial item, so their lives will not be in danger."

"If Senior insists on going, then you must search within the Forbidden Ground for humans like yourself."

"Five years ago, when the two kingdoms went to war, two humans learned certain secrets. Later, they were pursued into the Forbidden Ground by a Spirit Transformation powerhouse of the Night Moon Kingdom."

"If they are still alive, they may be Senior's only path to survival."

After saying this, Hu Meiniang hurriedly left the room, her expression panicked.

Once Hu Meiniang had left, Chen Changsheng picked up the bald little mongrel that had been barking on the floor and loosened some of her restraints.

"Traitor! She is simply a traitor to the Demon Race."

"This lady will definitely tear her into ten thousand pieces."

As he listened to the Little White Wolf's curses, Chen Changsheng slowly stroked her fur. "Little White, can you tell me the secrets of the Night Moon Kingdom now?"

"If I am not mistaken, those two who were driven into the Forbidden Ground—"

"Should be the Longevity Fairy and Master Yixiu, correct?"

At those words, the Little White Wolf shot Chen Changsheng a disdainful look and said,

"Don't even think about it. Even if you kill me, I will not tell you."

"I'm telling you, you had better not release me. Otherwise, I will tear that bitch Hu Meiniang to pieces."

"The Fox Clan was softhearted and spared her back then. Who would have thought she would turn around and help outsiders? She deserves to die!"

Seeing the Little White Wolf's furious expression, Chen Changsheng said blandly,

"Looks like your Night Moon Kingdom went through a major purge."

"When I met Hu Meiniang, she was merely a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator. She could not even transform completely."

"Back then, her tone was full of innocence. She did not resemble a cultivator who had clawed her way through the lowest ranks at all."

"At the time, I wondered why the daughter of a wealthy Demon Race household would venture out alone to gain experience."

"Now it seems she did not leave on her own. You drove her out!"

The Little White Wolf looked coldly at Chen Changsheng. "Who said Hu Meiniang was the daughter of some wealthy household? She is merely an ordinary member of the Demon Race."

"Hehehe!"

"What you said sounds rather like trying to cover up the truth."

"But that is understandable, since you have never seen how low-level cultivators live."

"The cultivation world is a place where people devour people, and it is even more so for low-level cultivators."

"Sometimes, friends as close as brothers will fight until their heads are bloodied over a single spirit stone."

"If Hu Meiniang had not been the daughter of a wealthy household, with the personality she had back then, she would likely have died long ago without even bones left behind."

"Now that she has returned to the Fox Clan, she is probably seeking vengeance for that blood-sea enmity from years ago!"

"Hah!"

Hearing this, the Little White Wolf sneered. "With a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator like her, she wants revenge?"

"Let alone her—even if you were added in, the two of you could not stir up any waves in the Night Moon Kingdom."

"I have told you many times already. I have no interest in the secrets of the Night Moon Kingdom, and whether you intend to destroy the Great Qian Kingdom is none of my concern."

"I only want to bring my master's and senior brothers' bodies home. Why can't you believe that?"

"If you only wanted to bring back the bodies of old acquaintances, would you need to go to such lengths?"

"Now I even suspect that your chance encounter with me was something you arranged long ago."

"You harbor wicked intentions and seek to overthrow my Night Moon Kingdom."

Seeing the Little White Wolf's thoughts grow more and more absurd, Chen Changsheng shook his head helplessly, then tied her to the bedside.

"Think whatever you like. I am going to sleep."

"Bold of you! You actually dare make me sleep on the floor. Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

In response to the Little White Wolf's threat, Chen Changsheng waved his right hand, and her mouth was immediately sealed shut.

This way, no matter how much anger filled the Little White Wolf's heart, she could no longer disturb Chen Changsheng's sweet dreams.

At dawn, the first rays of sunlight shone upon the earth.

After causing a ruckus for most of the night, the Little White Wolf was now curled up at the foot of the bed, sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, a large hand seized the back of her neck and lifted her up.

"Stop sleeping. We are setting off."

Opening her bleary wolf eyes, the Little White Wolf gave Chen Changsheng a look, then closed them again.

Chen Changsheng merely smiled and paid it no mind. He tucked the Little White Wolf into his arms and walked out of the room.

"Brother Chen, did you rest well yesterday?"

Hu Zhan stood outside the door waiting for Chen Changsheng, his face full of smiles.

Chen Changsheng smiled. "I slept very soundly last night. Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Hu."

At that moment, Hu Zhan noticed the bald little mongrel in Chen Changsheng's arms and asked curiously, "Brother Chen, do you intend to bring her along for the trial?"

"That is right. Little White and I depend on each other for survival. No matter where we go, we are inseparable."

Hearing the name Little White, Hu Zhan froze for a moment before laughing.

"Brother Chen is truly humorous. You named her Little White? Interesting, interesting."

"I cannot help it. Little White always fantasizes about having a coat of pure white fur, so I had no choice but to give her that name."

"By the way, it will not affect anything if I bring Little White to the trial, will it?"

"It will not. No methods are restricted in this trial, and that naturally includes battle pets."

"Brother Chen, please follow me."
