Not only was Hu Mang sizing up the other person, but Liu Manqing was also sizing him up.

She wasn't very familiar with Hu Mang either, since he had moved to the south when he was a child.

However, after looking him up and down, I realized he was a very handsome guy. Well, then we can start chatting.

The Hu Mang never expected that its evolved appearance would cause a small problem in the first step of annuling the engagement.

If he were in the same fighting spirit he had when he first returned from overseas, the results would definitely be outstanding.

"You are Hu Mang? The young master of the Hu Household?"

"Whose young master goes abroad to do chores?" Hu Mang muttered to himself.

Liu Manqing blinked, smiled, and exuded the elegance of a well-bred lady—a level 150 well-bred lady, a seasoned one indeed.

It would take a year and a half to reach this level.

To be honest, Liu Manqing is quite good-looking. After all, a demon taking human form is like being born with a free opportunity for plastic surgery. Male demons are generally fine with it, but female demons, especially modern female demons, will definitely take advantage of this painless and harmless opportunity to have extensive plastic surgery.

As for Liu Manqing's appearance, well—she has the typical face of a well-bred lady.

She had an oval face with soft lines and fair skin, with a thin, almost transparent layer of rosy blush, like a faint pink hue showing through the finest mutton fat jade.

Liu Manqing smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

"Did you know that my mother brought me here to break off the engagement?" Hu Mang asked honestly.

"Break off the engagement?" Liu Manqing was stunned. After a long while, she hesitated and said, "Should I be angry?"

That shouldn't be the case; you don't even know me.

Hu Mang sighed again.

"According to my mother and your mother, it seems they want me to marry into their family, and then I won't have the surname Hu anymore, but Liu. As a condition of the deal, your mother will help me with treatment and repair my foundation, but in the process, a small problem has arisen."

"What's the problem?" Liu Manqing blinked and asked.

"The south not only has good educational resources, but also abundant medical resources. I got an appointment at a top-tier hospital and had my injury to my Dantian healed. Since it's healed, I don't need to change my surname anymore, so I've come to break off the engagement."

Liu Manqing opened her mouth, "Then, congratulations!"

"The current situation is that there is still a small problem," Hu Mang repeated Huang Jiayou's words.

"Now that brat from the Huang Household wants to shirk responsibility and use his family's Underworld Bureau authority as an engagement gift for your mother, it seems we have no choice but to get engaged."

"No, you can't walk by yourself, you have to take me with you!"

"..."

Now it was Hu Mang's turn to be stunned.

"No, why?"

"Given my mother's personality, if she doesn't arrange an engagement with you, she might force me to marry one of those trashy second-generation rich kids from the Bai Household. I know those people; they appear respectable on the surface, but they're utterly depraved in private. I can't marry one of them!"

"From a species perspective, if those members of the Bai Household were to play games unsuitable for children with women, that would be truly perverted," Hu Mang remarked.

The entire Bai Household, young and old, are all hedgehog spirits; playing with other monsters is just standard practice for them.

"Besides, it's one thing for me to run away with my mother, but if I run away with you, technically speaking, shouldn't that be called eloping?"

Liu Manqing was stunned.

"It seems so."

"Engagement, annulment, elopement—don't you think this is a triangle inequality?" Hu Mang continued to complain.

Moreover, although both Buddhism and Daoism are skilled in subduing demons, they seem to have different specializations: Buddhism is better at subduing demons, while Daoism is better at subduing monsters.

With a single strike of his Great Mudra, Hu Mang revealed his true form.

"Holy crap, Buddhism, no, Daoism! Not Brother Hu, Brother Hu, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

The Huang Jiayou immediately cowered.

"Your joke has put your brother in a real bind! Why didn't you say you didn't want the power in the Underworld Bureau? You're only saying it now!"

"If I had told you earlier, Brother Hu, you would have run away long ago. From the first moment I saw you, I could smell the pure yang energy on you, purer than any ancient scholar, over 90% pure genuine stuff, a special supply for female ghosts. In this situation, do you think I would believe you when you say you're injured?"

"Since you're not injured, then it doesn't matter to you and Third Aunt Hu whether you're still with the company or not. Anyway, your family withdrew a long time ago. If I had told you earlier, your Hu Household would have run away long ago."

The Huang Jiayou's beady eyes darted around as it desperately sought a way to escape.

As a childhood friend, Huang Jiayou knew that among all the second-generation demons, this one had the strongest demonic nature and would kill without blinking an eye.

If the other party were to strangle me on the spot, they'd be faster than Fourth Aunt Bai!

"I was only thinking of Liu Manqing's best interests. If you hadn't come back, wouldn't the eldest daughter of the Liu Household family have ended up marrying those scumbags from the Bai Household? Wow, what a hero, buddy!"
