#242 - Dad! They want to marry my grandma for a dead ghost!
Bang!
Splash!
Two figures, one large and one small, fell from the sky.
They landed on the sea, a thousand feet away from Mount Wangyun.
"Phew! Good heavens!"
"We've finally landed!"
A flowery snake popped its head out of the water and spat out a mouthful.
Then, Xu Chengxian swallowed the sea beast that he had accidentally crushed and held in his mouth.
He had been flying for so long that he was already starving.
Why are you joining in on the fun?
The black goat's hooves were almost reaching his face.
"This deity doesn't not eat bloody food; this deity just can't eat it!" Da Hei roared, "I'm not asking for bloody food, hurry, give me some blood energy!"
"Why should I?"
"We're almost home, and this deity is feeling a little uneasy; I need some blood energy to soothe myself."
"..."
Bah! Shameless!
You old geezer, you're feeling uneasy?
However, Xu Chengxian was in a good mood and still gave a small ball of blood energy to Da Hei to satisfy its craving.
He also gave a portion to Xu Xiaobai.
He told her, "Remember to call out to people when you get home, understand?"
Xu Chengxian felt extremely pleased when he said this.
Finally, it was his turn to say this to others!
"Daddy, who should I call?" Xu Xiaobai didn't understand.
"Call Grandma," Xu Chengxian said, "Your grandma's name is Xiaocui, Bai Xiaocui. We also have a Turtle Grandpa, Da Sheng, Xiao Sheng, and a bunch of little demons in our family."
"Oh right, and General Yu. When you see him, call him..." He paused, "Just call him Grandpa."
Xu Chengxian immediately felt happy and proud of his cleverness when he said 'Grandpa'.
Because this way...
"If anyone calls you 'Grandpa' in the future, you can call for help!"
General Yu was about to be promoted to Demon Commander.
The key point is that he also had a close female friend who hadn't become his lover yet, who was the daughter of a Demon Marquis.
These are real relatives.
Not the kind that are formed through chaos.
"Haha!" Xu Chengxian laughed and turned to eat some more sea beast.
Eating his fill would take too much time.
In this marginal area of the Chaos Sea, he could only find 'small' sea beasts.
It wasn't easy to fill his stomach.
Just eating until he wasn't hungry would do.
Now, he was also eager to return home.
So, not long after, Xu Chengxian felt that it was about time and led Da Hei and Xu Xiaobai into the river.
During this time, the warning of the demon realm formation boundary was not triggered.
It was unknown whether it was because it sensed their demon aura, or because the token given by Demon Commander Fuli when passing through Ascending Dragon Ridge had worked.
Then, they went upstream all the way, heading towards Mount Wangyun.
"Our family used to live in this area. I can't really tell where it was anymore," he said as he controlled the water to move forward, also talking about the experience of the old Bai family moving.
The original cave by the river could no longer be found.
He didn't know if it had been submerged due to the widening of the riverbank over the years, or if it had been washed away by heavy rain.
Even the stone where they used to worship the moon was gone.
"Oh dear, what a pity."
"I can't take you to see it."
Xu Chengxian couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.
But it was fleeting.
After all, he hadn't lived here for long.
His emotions weren't so rich that he would shed tears over it.
The place was gone, but the old Bai family of snakes was still there.
It was just a temporary separation.
He immediately joked, "It doesn't matter. If I become a great power one day, maybe someone will build a memorial hall for me here."
After saying that, he felt it was unlucky.
Memorial halls are only built after someone has passed away.
He immediately spat three times loudly.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Xu Xiaobai followed suit, "Pah! Pah! Pah! Bad things don't count, good things do!"
"Haha! Smart!" Xu Chengxian immediately said with a smile.
Then, the speed of controlling the water to move forward couldn't help but increase a lot.
He missed home.
It had also been a long time since he had seen his mother, Bai Xiaocui. He wondered if she had transformed into a human yet.
"And Da Sheng, Xiao Sheng, and Turtle Grandpa."
"Turtle Grandpa, is that the Purple-Gold Turtle?" Da Hei asked curiously, "You actually have a Purple-Gold Turtle?"
"Of course! Why would I lie to you?" Xu Chengxian couldn't understand why his credibility was so poor in Da Hei's eyes.
How did it come to this?
It shouldn't be like this!
"The Purple-Gold Turtle is also a descendant of ancient demons, and it has a very complete bloodline inheritance from ancient demons," Da Hei hummed, "It was a slippery character even in ancient times, and even demon kings couldn't recruit it."
Who would have thought that a little demon like the flowery snake would actually have one following him.
This guy really has some luck on his side.
"Hey! I like hearing that!" Xu Chengxian chuckled.
It was worth being happy about having something more powerful than a demon king.
"How did you meet that Purple-Gold Turtle?" Da Hei asked.
"You probably won't believe me if I tell you. At the time, Turtle Grandpa was very easy to talk to. I said, 'Turtle Grandpa, our family is moving and needs a truck, can you help us out?' And it agreed."
"...Are you kidding me?"
"Although you're just a ghost now, everything I said is true."
"Hmph!"
"Turtle Grandpa even secretly controlled the speed, thinking I didn't know. It was so cute."
"Hmph!"
Da Hei thought to itself, no matter what you say, this deity won't believe it!
...
"Hmm?"
"Daddy! There's the sound of a suona!"
Xu Chengxian was controlling the water and swimming himself, using both methods to move forward in the water extremely quickly.
Not long after, he approached Mount Wangyun.
At this time, a faint sound of music came from the wind.
Xu Xiaobai, who was standing on his back looking left and right, shouted first.
The closer they got, the clearer it became.
Xu Chengxian couldn't help but raise his head and chest, looking towards the source of the drum sounds with curiosity.
It seemed to be coming from the Wangyun Mountains?
Whose family was having a happy event?
No, no.
He had heard the suona, yu sheng, and gongs and drums at rural red and white events.
The tunes were different.
This sounded like a funeral, right?
"Huh? This drum music is very strange."
Da Hei also poked its head out, wondering, "Why does it play a sad tune first, then start blowing and beating a happy tune?"
Was it welcoming a bride or holding a funeral?
It flew into the air and looked into the distance, saying, "Could it be that a funeral procession and a wedding procession have met?"
It only saw one procession.
It couldn't help but say, "Is this family both sending someone off and bringing someone back?"
But strangely, the group of people in the procession weren't wearing red and green wedding clothes, there wasn't a matchmaker leading the way, and there wasn't a groom riding a horse.
Moreover, the flags they were carrying were one red and one white.
There was a bridal sedan, but it looked more like a coffin.
"What kind of arrangement is this?" The old ghost, Gluttonous Soul, couldn't understand either.
"A mixture of joy and sorrow, a ghost marriage?" Xu Chengxian had seen ghost movies and immediately thought of one of the important components of Chinese horror.
"Do demons also do this?" He immediately became angry.
Why learn from his mother, learning such dog-like bad habits from humans!
With a flick of his tail, he rapidly approached.
He was going to see who was doing such a wicked thing in Mount Wangyun!
"Damn it, you're lacking in virtue! If you fall into your Grandpa Xu's eyes, your life and death are uncertain!"
Then, in the next moment.
He heard the sentence: "By order of our master, we have come to Mount Wangyun to marry Bai Xiaocui for our master's newly deceased Seventeenth Master Shao!"
"...Daddy!!!"
Before Xu Chengxian could speak, Xu Xiaobai exploded, "They want to marry my grandma to a dead ghost!"
