Liu Manqing

Liu Wuniang looked at the Huang Jiayou with surprise and said:

"You little weasel, you're really willing to part with this. This is something your old man would rather die than let go of. Bai Household has been scheming for so long, the equity is secondary, the real goal is the Underworld Bureau authority you hold."

"Don't you know this is your only lifeline? And you're saying you're just sitting back and watching the tigers fight?"

"Yes, yes, we have them all," Huang Jiayou chuckled, his smile remarkably like that of a weasel spirit stealing chickens.

"To be honest, I never wanted this hot potato in the first place. You older folks have a soft spot for Pine Peak Security, while we younger folks aren't interested in it. But the problem is, that old aunt from the Bai Household is too greedy. If I just hand it over like this, I'm sure I'll end up dead without a trace."

"What I mean is, taking advantage of the engagement between the Hu and Liu families, I'll invite Uncle Hui Household and Aunt Bai Household over, along with all the old folks from Pine Peak. Then, in this public setting, I'll present this to both of you. I'm not after anything else, just hoping to save my life. I think if both of you show up, even if Aunt Bai is willing to lose face, she won't want to hurt the feelings of all the older generation."

"If they can prey on the extinct members of my Huang Household, wouldn't it be even easier to prey on the extinct members of other families?"

Liu Wuniang remained silent, seemingly beginning to consider the idea.

Now it was Mama Hu and Hu Mang's turn to have strange expressions.

They're here to "break off the engagement," shouldn't there be as few people as possible when doing something like this?

By bringing so many people along, aren't you making a fool of the Liu Household? What if the young lady gets angry and things change drastically?

Mama Hu immediately regretted it; she should have known better than to bring this kid along. He's such a troublemaker!

He didn't have much interest in getting involved.

He could fight to the death overseas, and he was a force to be reckoned with in the Demon-Subduing City, but here at Heavenly Gate, he felt it was necessary to keep a low profile.

Especially for someone like me with such a unique background, there's an even greater need to keep a low profile.

After all, if something really happens, he can't just run away with his family, especially a middle-aged female fox and an artificial intelligence.

"Has that big willow tree always been this big?"

Hu Mang looked into the Ghost Willow Grove and saw an enormous Ghost Willow. Suddenly, he asked a question.

That tree was located in the very center of the entire Ghost Willow Grove, towering above all the other willows like a crane among chickens, its trunk so thick that it would probably take five or six people to encircle it.

The bark is dark brown, cracked like a tortoise shell, with dark red resin seeping from the cracks, like dried blood, hanging in strands on the trunk.

The tree canopy blocked out the sun, and its branches stretched in all directions, with the furthest branches almost touching the walls of the Liu Residence.

The branches were covered with dense willow leaves, which were long and narrow and not the usual emerald green, but a dark, murky green with slightly curled edges, like curled tongues.

The strangest thing is those drooping aerial roots.

Hu Mang thought carefully for a moment and found that he really didn't remember anything.

As someone who has been passionate about fighting and killing since childhood, he used to play demon-slaying tricks with the second generation of demons when he was young. Even the demons were playing themselves, and they had a blast.

As for some spirits and monsters who don't enjoy fighting and killing, especially girls, they have absolutely no desire to understand them.

The only thing we know is that this Miss Liu was admitted to an art college in Demon Metropolis, then became unemployed after graduation, and is now living off her parents.

Of course, this is according to the standards of modern female cultivators. If we follow the standards of ancient times, she would be a standard unmarried young lady, which is quite in line with the positioning of a lady from a respectable family.

Hu Mang hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door.

"Come in," a cool female voice rang out.

Hu Mang pushed open the door and entered, seeing a standard ancient young lady's boudoir.

The room wasn't large, but it was exquisitely laid out. Upon entering, there was a screen with a rosewood frame and a silk embroidery of flowers and birds—a branch of crabapple blossoms leaning out and two kingfishers perched on the branch. The stitches were fine and the colors were elegant.

Only after walking around the screen could one see the entire room.

The ground was paved with blue bricks, the surface of which was polished smooth and gleamed with a warm, dark light.

After a brief moment of awkwardness, Liu Manqing gracefully invited Hu Mang to sit down. However, the slight blush on her face, coupled with the flickering lights on the screen, made Hu Mang unable to help but complain.

"Why don't you finish downloading this first? We're not in a rush."

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Liu Manqing smiled awkwardly, a willow branch emerged from her sleeve, and she immediately used the "unplugging the internet cable" technique to go offline.

What a terrible teammate!

If the Old Third were online, he would most likely be furious, furiously pounding the keyboard. According to what Hu Mang had seen before, they had already fought up to the final boss, "Erlang, the True Lord of Manifest Sageness".

Sorry, online buddy, this blind date wasn't something I wanted, so please don't blame me.
