Demon King's Repayment - chapter 298

The group of people talked and stopped in front of a farmhouse to cook.

After knocking on the door for a long time, a woman came out to answer the door. Her dress was neat and tidy, but her eyes were swollen and her hair was unruly. It was obvious that she had just cried bitterly.

Hearing what everyone said, she did not refuse, nodded, pointed at the kitchen in the courtyard, and let them use it, but she covered her face and went back to the house.

“You have worked so hard for all kinds of spells and disaster relief along the way. Don’t do anything, sit and rest, I will prepare lunch. Let’s eat and then continue our journey,” Hu Qing wore her apron and rolled up her sleeves. Those who wanted to help were all refused. Carrying Wuyuan’s neck, she drove him aside to prevent him from causing trouble.

Yuan Xiang smiled and took her arm, “Sister, after walking for so long in the wind and rain, I want to eat hot soup. It would be better if you can bake some shortbread. “

Hu Qing poked her nose, “Okay, I see, you can rest too.”

How many wonders could one see in the world? She was so gentle and considerate, understood the rhythm, was good at pipa, and her cooking skills were so good.

Qingyuan quietly glanced at his arrogant apostle, and seriously considered whether he could improve their relationship like Yuan Xiang by holding his arm.

While eating, they suddenly heard the sorrowful woman crying from the room on the other side.

“Did she cry because she got jealous that we are having delicious soup?” Wu Yuan protected his bowl, “I won’t divide mine this time.”

Only the cry of sadness and mourning was unbearable.

Yuan Xiang and others walked out of the kitchen to check. Inside the hut, they saw the farmer’s daughter hanging a twine on the beam. She was unable to succeed. She was rescued by her father and brother, now she was lying in her mother’s arms and crying. 

The owner of the farmhouse, whose surname was Yu, was more than forty years old. He helplessly looked at Yuan Xiang and the others, “Something happened at home and we let the guests see our embarrassment.”

After Yuan Xiang’s questioning, Father Yu informed them that the Yujia Village where their family was located and several surrounding villages belonged to the land of Sanjun Temple in the heart of the lake.

It was said that the Taoist Master Wuwang in the temple was a master of Taoism and enjoyed royal salaries. The land granted by the officials had been repaired there for hundreds of years, and he had great prestige.

From time to time, he showed up to show some tricks of calling for the wind and rain. The people around him were afraid of him and obedient, but they did not dare to violate what he said.

Yu Laonong sighed, “In this flood, the Taoist said that we and the villagers offended the Gods, which caused their wrath. Therefore, we must offer a girl from each village to reward the Gods in order to solve the crisis. In our village, they chose my daughter. Now the girls from other villages have already been sent away, but my family is reluctant to give up, and delayed it for one and a half days. People from the village kept coming and ordered my family to have a small boat to send her tonight. This is a bad idea.”

The daughter lifted her face, her complexion radiant, quite moving. Although she was a farm girl, she was obviously loved by her parents.

The little lady cried, “If it’s just for rewarding Gods, it’s nothing more than throwing me into the lake to die, and going to heaven innocently. But they said that they want to… cure the Yin body, so I have to first be sent into the temple for three days. How could people endure that?”

The so-called Yin body removal referred to a woman’s body that had too much Yin’s Qi. For fear of colliding with the Gods, she must first be sent to the temple for a few days to remove the Qi by a male Taoist.

Everyone with a discerning eye knew what kind of sloppy ideas were playing there. However, thousands of villagers in several villages chose to remain silent because the incident did not fall on their own head. And even those who used the hat of righteousness used force to let the selected families sacrifice their daughters quickly.

“I can’t send my sister. Rather than let my sister suffer such humiliation, we should fight with those people!” The young and energetic brother clenched his fists, “We can flee overnight. We can only run if we can’t fight!”

The girl cried out of breath, “How can I inflict my parents and elder brother? It is my life, so let me go quickly. In this life, I’ve been loved by my father, mother and brother all these years, it is not in vain.”

Seeing her crying so terribly, Qingyuan couldn’t hold back even after living for one hundred and fifty years of cultivation. He cursed, “Where is the scum occupying a small amount of cultivation? I will see him.”

Yuan Xiang stopped him, “Human Taoists that could practice for such a long time, their cultivation level will not be too low. If we fought hastily, then the girls in the temple would lose their lives for nothing.” Yuan Xiang said, “I got an idea. I will pretend to be the girl, go over to explore the situation, bring them out, and then follow them secretly.”

“No!”

“Inappropriate.”

“No.”

“Ah Xiang, that is the old pervert’s lair!”

“It’s okay, I have the Pisces Array to protect me. I’m safer than you,” Yuan Xiang thought it was feasible.

Nan He grabbed her arm and said, “I’ll go, I will change into a woman and go instead.”

Yuan Xiang initially disagreed. Hearing the second half of the sentence, she was taken aback for a moment, turned her eyes, and her smile gradually changed.

When Hu Sanlang was at home, he liked to change from being a man to a woman. Yuan Xiang was very interested to see how Nan He in women’s clothing would look like.

“Then you change first… change and show me.”
