Just as the two sides began to discuss the engagement process, Mama Hu found Hu Mang, pulled him aside, and looked him up and down with unfamiliar eyes.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

"You've been seduced by beauty?" Mama Hu asked after a moment's thought.

"Didn't you ask me to come here for a blind date?" Hu Mang retorted.

"Didn't you want to go back on your word?"

"Well, that's why I've changed my mind now. Why rush into breaking off an engagement? You can run away before the wedding night, and you can run away after the wedding night."

"..."

Mama Hu cried out in anguish, "Son, you can't be such a scumbag! Although I don't get along well with your Fifth Aunt Liu, what you've done has made me unable to hold my head up in front of her for the rest of my life."

"That's not important. I'm asking you, do you remember where you picked me up back then?"

"What do you want to do?" Mama Hu's expression changed as she asked.

"Go back and take a look."

Mama Hu's expression finally turned serious.

"This is all due to the Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians?!"

Mama Hu's eyes widened.

Hu Mang nodded seriously.

As a legitimate mountain demon, Mama Hu naturally couldn't possibly have any prejudice against Devil Cultivation Method. On the contrary, she was quite proud that her son had been able to comprehend such a profound State of Mind in the demonic path. However, her thoughts soon veered in a strange direction.

"You can comprehend the Buddhist State of Mind and also understand the demonic State of Mind, but the fox demon bloodline I gave you, haven't you grasped anything?"

"..."

Hu Mang never expected that his son's exceptional talent would cause his Mama Hu to begin to doubt their family's bloodline.

After all, whether it's Buddha or demon, they don't seem to have anything to do with the bloodline of the Demon Race.

"Hey, Mom, wait until I grow a little more. Maybe I'll be able to comprehend something like the 'Heavenly Fox Realm.' Generally speaking, the best things are usually saved for last, right?"

Mama Hu nodded firmly.

Ultimately, the demonic path aside, her understanding of Buddhist State of Mind came from listening to those bald monks chanting scriptures back in the Liang Dynasty. Although she always fell asleep, she might have gleaned some insights in her dreams—a true transmission of wisdom!

Then, Liu Wuniang and her son Liu Manqing from the Liu Household, along with the two from the Hu Household, arrived in front of the enormous Soul-Binding Willow after dismissing all outsiders.

Even though it wasn't the first time he'd seen it, Hu Mang was still momentarily shocked by its size—what a huge ghost tree!

In ancient times, this would have been considered a cultivation level of a thousand years.

"Third Sister, back then, our Five Great Households were taken under the command of the Ghost Lord to suppress the remnants of five dynasties. But do you know why it was specifically our five families? There are powerful demons and monsters that have been resurrected from other dynasties, some even more powerful than us, but why did the Ghost Lord choose our five families in particular?"

Mama Hu asked in surprise, "Wasn't it because the five of us were the first to be resurrected?"

"Yes, but do you know why the five of us were the first to be resurrected?"

Mama Hu blinked. "I really don't know. Is there any particular explanation for this?"

"Third Sister, you're being modest again. We're all family, why keep it a secret? The only reason our five families were the first to be resurrected is that we five demons, across the generations of Yu, Chen, Liang, Shen, and Yu, all came into contact with the Dragon Vein in different ways. That's why we were the first to be resurrected."

Mama Hu was taken aback. "Is that so?"

"Hehe, Third Sister, your little python has enrolled in Dragon-Suppressing Stake, and participated in the Immortal Ladder Project. Don't tell me you have no interest in the Dragon Vein."

The Hu Household and son exchanged a glance. After a moment's hesitation, Mama Hu said, "I didn't expect you to find out after all, Fifth Sister."

This "Soul-Binding Willow" was brought back by his mother from the Yu Dynasty. According to his mother, it was already a first-class Law Treasure, but she had never seen his mother use it even once.

Mama Hu's expression changed as she looked down at the ground. The soil beneath her feet was undulating slightly, the surface uneven, with raised lines like a black dragon's spine winding and extending beneath the ground, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The ridges, shaped like dragon spines, rose and fell gently with the breath of the trees, as if some enormous creature was sleeping beneath this land and was now turning over.

"Ghost Vein..." Mama Hu said softly, a complex meaning in her voice, "They actually raised it this big?"

"Third Sister, this isn't just any Ghost Vein, it's Ghost Dragon Vein. Your son definitely knows that, right, Little Python?"

Liu Wuniang smiled at Hu Mang. Hu Mang only had time to cover his left eye, but the eye of the Tribulation Eye on his right eye instinctively opened, and he couldn't hide it even if he tried.

In the eyes of the other two, the Hu Mang's pupils were no longer round, but vertical, like a thin crack; fine lightning patterns flowed along the edges of the crack, constantly rotating and changing.

Deep within his eyes, a faint golden light flowed, like metal melted by a raging fire.

"??"

Now it was Mama Hu's turn to look at Hu Mang in shock.

You little brat, you're hiding something from me?!
