As for the old demon king, after using his Demon Power, he fell seriously ill and was clearly nearing the end of his life.

With his death, the power of the Demon Realm completely fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager, which naturally pleased Zi Rong.

The carriages behind her were filled with Purple Fox Race, essentially royalty in the Demon Realm. The unicorn demon horses pulling the carriages were ornately decorated, and the wedding carriages themselves were a unique style of the Demon Race, with fox patterns painted on their purple bodies, symbolizing the Purple Fox Clan's current dominance over the Demon Realm.

The Fox King, Ye Xun, was dressed in a bright red tuxedo and wore a purple-gold crown, looking extremely noble.

Xiao Tingyu, standing beside him, wore a wedding dress. Although she was adorned with many jewels, she didn't look as splendid as the Fox King. This was the Demon Race's little scheme; the protagonist of the wedding was the Fox King, and even the bride couldn't steal his thunder, especially since the demon queen was Human Race.

Ye Xun Patrol wore a smug smile. After what happened at the royal palace that day, he received a reply from the Xiao Household head. Even though the Xiao Household head was powerful, he had no choice but to bow his head under the threat of his daughter's life and promised to deliver the dowry as requested.

Three days ago, the Xiao Household's procession carrying the dowry set off and is now parked at the city gate. When the wedding procession passes through the city gate, the Xiao Household's procession will join them.

At that time, the entire demon city will be able to see how much dowry people have sent to marry the Fox King, how the royal treasury will be overflowing, and the coveted divine artifact...

With this thought in mind, how could Ye Xun possibly suppress the smirk that was now playing on his lips?

As for the Xiao Household family head's desire to personally visit his daughter, the Ye Xun refused, citing the inconvenience of interactions between the two clans, stating only that they would respect the rules of the Human Realm.

After marriage

He brought the Demon Queen back to her parents' home, but the Xiao Household family did not agree to the patriarch coming to the Demon Realm person, which suited Ye Xun's wishes perfectly.

Once the grand wedding takes place, whether or not he takes Xiao Tingyu back is entirely up to him.

Ye Xun's little scheme was going well, and he was naturally in a good mood. He would wave to the Demon Race gathered on the street from time to time, and each gesture would draw cheers, because on the day of the wedding, the Fox King would reveal all nine of his fox tails. The nine fluffy purple fox tails surrounded him, making the already noble Fox King look even more magnificent.

In the eyes of the Demon Race, these nine fox tails are a symbol of strength and the reason why the Demon Race follow the Fox King.

Qiaoqiao: [Isn't the Fox King hot, wrapped in such a thick cotton-padded coat?]

Wen Zhi couldn't help but laugh. The carriage seats were so narrow that the Fox King and his nine tails, which seemed to have nowhere to go, clustered together, making him look like he was covered with a large quilt. It was only because of the strong Demon Race filter that she thought the Fox King was so handsome.

In Wen Zhi's opinion, let alone her master, Ye Xun was not even worthy of carrying her fourth junior brother's shoes in terms of appearance, and his character was even worse; he was simply a Demon Realm version of Ning Xuan.

The patrol carriage traveled through most of the demon city, and finally stopped at the city gate, surrounded by thousands of Demon Race.

Wen Zhi secretly perked up: They're here.

In a little while, the city gates will open, welcoming in the dowry procession transported by the Xiao Household.

The Fox King was cunning. The Xiao Household's caravan had undergone numerous inspections before entering the Demon Realm. Moreover, they were using spirit horses to pull their carriages, which caused them to suffer from acclimatization issues upon arrival in the Demon Realm. Their speed was also slower than the demon unicorns of the Demon Realm, and they could only barely trail behind the caravan for a while. This only highlighted the power and prestige of the Demon Race.

The Fox King, who thought himself incredibly clever, could never have imagined that the Xiao Household head, who had become the richest man in the cultivation world, was not so easily fooled.

The six guards from the Xiao Household who came to transport the dowry were all Xiao Household elders in disguise. Their purpose in venturing into the Demon Realm was to investigate the young lady's situation. If the young lady was forced to marry the demon king, they would snatch her away on the spot and take Xiao Tingyu out of the Demon Realm.

Their plan was to take advantage of the chaos while the elders were making their move, and then rescue their second senior sister.

According to Qiaoqiao's inner voice, in her dream, the Xiao Household did send elders to snatch people away, but the second senior sister, who had been completely brainwashed, refused to go with the Xiao Household, causing the elders to be besieged by the Demon Race race and completely perish in the Demon Realm.

After that, the Xiao Household head sent many more people to the Demon Realm. Because the second senior sister did not cooperate, Xiao Household all died tragically in the Demon Realm. The Xiao family lost many elites and gradually declined. The Xiao Household family head was burdened with the accusations of the Lineage and was too worried. He soon passed away.

The Xiao Household was torn apart by the Demon Realm, and their entire fortune was divided up.

[The Fox King wouldn't even allow her to attend the Xiao Household head's funeral, and he expected Second Senior Sister to forgive him with a smile? Does he deserve that?!]

Just thinking about that scene made Wen Zhi's liver ache with anger.

He's not worthy of a damn thing!

With a heavy bang, the gates of the demon city swung open.

The Xiao Household family's caravan, pulled by spirit horses, was already waiting outside. A full twenty carriages were loaded with spirit Spirit Stone and Law Artifact, piled high, their dazzling luster almost blinding.

A billion Spirit Stone and thousands of Law Artifact were laid out so openly before them, demonstrating the Xiao Household family's immense wealth, comparable to that of a nation.

In comparison, the lavishly decorated wedding cars paled in comparison, and even the unicorn horse appeared shorter than the towering spirit horse.

The Ye Xun's expression was rather unpleasant. The Spirit Stone could have been sent over in a storage ring, but the Xiao Household's high-profile delivery, overshadowing the patrol caravan, was clearly intentional!

Feeling humiliated by the lack of pomp and circumstance, he berated Xiao Tingyu, who was standing nearby, "On our wedding day, is your father deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?!"

Xiao Tingyu remained silent, sitting there blankly, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

Finding himself bored Ye Xun, he turned his attention to the Xiao Household's convoy.

The six guards escorting the precious item dismounted, walked to the wedding carriage, and bowed to Xiao Tingyu, saying, "Greetings, Miss."

Xiao Tingyu did not react.

The guards exchanged glances, their expressions revealing slight suspicion.

The Ye Xun coughed. "Madam, the servants greet you; you should respond."

Xiao Tingyu finally spoke, "Mm."

The Ye Xun then said, "You've all come from afar, thank you for your hard work."
