Chapter 74: Bai Rourou childhood


    The Li family gathered in the ancestral hall.


    Everyone looked at Bai Rourou, who was showing a rare vulnerable side, withplex expressions.


    "So you''re saying, sister-inw, that you were an orphan since childhood, abandoned in the Silver Iron Forest, and raised by the Demon King there until you were 18, only then leaving the forest to live among humans?"


    Li Yaozu''s voice was heavy, "No wonder you were unfamiliar with many things. Now we understand."


    Li Yaotie embraced his wife with heartache, "It''s okay, dear. You didn''t have to keep these things from us all this time. None of us would mind your origins. Even if you were born from a stone, you''d still be my wonderful wife."


    "Say that again?"


    Bai Rourou immediately red.


    However, Li Yaotie''s words did calm Bai Rourou down. She was well aware that many people harbored hostility towards demonic beasts. It was only after seeing the peaceful coexistence between demonic beasts and humans in Green Valley Vige that she settled down there.


    But she was also afraid that her background would make the Li family unable to ept her. This was the reason why, even though she had long developed feelings for the impulsive and rough Li Yaotie, she hesitated to ept his advances.


    "Hahaha, I was even born a ve." Li Dalongughed heartily.


    "Daughter-inw, I''ve spent more time with demonic beasts than with your father-inw." Xu Cuihua alsoughed.


    "What kind of talk is that?"


    Li Dalong was unhappy at this point.


    Instantly, the Li family burst intoughter, and Bai Rourou also turned her tears into smiles.


    Seeing this heartwarming scene in the game, Li Wei also felt joy in his heart.


    Bai Rourou came to the ancestral hall to talk about these things. Li Wei also knew that the descendants he had nurtured were not rigid or narrow-minded people, so he gathered everyone together.


    The oue was not different from what he had expected.


    After everyone''sughter subsided, Li Dalong furrowed his brow, "In that case, the Demon King in the Silver Iron Forest is practically our inw. Since that''s the case, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and do nothing. Yaowen, tell us, why is the Wu family of Lantier Town attacking the Demon King?"


    Li Yaowen nodded slightly and exined the situation in the Silver Iron Forest one by one.


    It turned out that there were three towns near the Silver Iron Forest, and the families in these towns also knew about the existence of the Demon King in the Silver Iron Forest.


    However, due to years of severe drought, the families in these townscked resources, so they increased their exploitation of the Silver Iron Forest. Gradually, they became more and more excessive, hunting extensively in the Silver Iron Forest and starting to damage its environment, finally angering the Demon King within.


    Last year, the Demon King even killed hundreds of Wu family members who were mining.


    The Wu family of Lantier Town, taking advantage of their ancestor''s 200th birthday celebration, invited seven major families to join forces in attacking the Silver Iron Forest, and the Li family is among them.


    "The seven major families have agreed tounch the attack next year."


    Li Yaowen''s expression was grave, "Including our family. Sister-inw, I hope you understand that under the circumstances, I had to agree. Otherwise, our shops would have no ce in their towns."


    "I understand." Bai Rourou was also a reasonable person.


    "Then the most important thing now is how to resolve this matter."


    Li Dalong shook his head, "Although our family''s power has grown considerably in recent years, even if Ancestor agrees to help, we still can''tpete with the six major families. Daughter-inw, you should focus on preparing for childbirth. We''ll find a way to handle this matter."


    "Thank you."


    Bai Rourou''s eyes reddened again. After marrying into the Li family for these years, only now did she truly feel how good her family was to her.


    ......


    "This matter is troublesome."


    Looking at the conversation of the Li family members in the game, Li Wei rubbed his brows.


    Firstly, the Li family had no chance of winning against thebined forces of six families.


    Secondly, even if the Li family helped the Demon King, if word got out, the Li family would have no ce to survive. It was likely that those high and mighty major sects would also view the Li family as traitors who helped the demon race harm the human race.


    It''s important to understand that a Demon King is no longer just a simple demonic beast!


    Spirit beasts already possess high intelligence, and Demon Kings can even speak humannguage and rule over a territory.


    Immediately, Li Weimanded the Violet Tempest Python to head toward the Silver Iron Forest.


    When he looked at the map again, the Silver Iron Forest had turned green!


    "Does this mean the Demon King in the Silver Iron Forest also knew that Bai Rourou married into the Li family? That''s why the Demon King didn''t attack the Li family before. That fellow had already nned for Bai Rourou to enter human society, and the Green Valley Vige built by the Li family was undoubtedly the best choice for Bai Rourou to settle down, allowing the Demon King to watch over her."


    Li Wei raised an eyebrow.
