Chapter 185 Trading
Gu Yuchuan stared at the old man, whose life was slowly slipping away, but whose eyes remained sharp: "I am Wang Haizhong, the steward of the Wang family in the capital. This is my eldest daughter, Wang Ruolan, who is also the head of the Wang family in this generation."
Saying that whole sentence was quite a burden for him, causing him to cough a few times and even spit out a little blood. Wang Ruolan hurriedly took out a pill, but he refused it. His injuries were beyond the reach of ordinary pills.
“I wouldn’t have spoken if I wasn’t absolutely certain. Just now, when you heard our identities, your eyes clearly lit up. Obviously, our identities are of great help to you. Why don’t you let me guess?”
At this moment, he saw hope for his young lady's life, and for a moment, he felt a surge of energy, and his speech became much smoother.
"Judging from your appearance, you must be heading to the capital. Such a beautiful woman going to the capital at this time must be for the Crown Prince. Everyone knows that His Majesty now allows the Crown Prince to have sexual relations with women. Many people are eyeing the Crown Prince's position. Not to mention the Crown Prince's wife, who will become the future Empress, even the Crown Prince's palace servants without proper titles are fighting tooth and nail for her. Without a family background as a title, it would be difficult to enter the Crown Prince's palace."
He was right, because although he saw the ambiguous relationship between the Crown Prince and Hu Mingyu in the simulation, Hu Mingyu obviously did not become his concubine. What she lacked was this status. Now, if she could become a woman of the royal family, although the status was not very high, it would obviously be enough to enter the Crown Prince's palace.
Gu Yuchuan clapped his hands immediately: "Good, as expected of a family steward, you are very smart to see things. Then I won't say anything else. Give Hu Mingxin an identity, and I guarantee that as long as Wang Ruolan doesn't do anything stupid, I will support her for life."
A hint of indifference appeared in Wang Haizhong's eyes: "Alright, but I still don't know your identity, fellow Daoist. If you are a lone Foundation Establishment stage expert, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect my young lady."
Gu Yuchuan laughed out loud: "Listen carefully, even if that Marquis of Champion has great abilities, he can't possibly pose any danger to me. I am the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of the demon race, the Azure Scale Demon General Gu Yuchuan."
Wang Haizhong shielded his young lady behind him. Although the human and demon races had cooperated, the prejudices in people's hearts could not be dispelled in a short time. The demon race still looked down on the human race, and the human race still looked down on the demon race.
However, at this moment, Wang Ruolan stepped forward: "Uncle, let me make the decision on this matter. I promise you. Could you give me some space to talk to my uncle for a few minutes?"
Gu Yuchuan nodded and took Hu Mingyu to the other side. Since he had agreed, he would not eavesdrop, and even used his magic to block his hearing.
Looking at the old man protecting her, Wang Ruolan's tears flowed continuously: "Uncle, let it be. He's not wrong. He's a demon. So what if the Marquis of Champion has power over the court? Can he still manage the internal affairs of the demon race? This senior is the number one prodigy of the Foundation Establishment stage in the demon race. With such a status, the demon race will definitely not give up. He might even become a Golden Core stage expert in no time. I believe in the dignity and magnanimity of the strong. You know, I'm not talented and I don't have any special skills. It's already difficult enough for me to live a peaceful life."
Wang Haizhong's eyes were filled with reluctance, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. He could only nod and send out a burst of magic power to signal Gu Yuchuan to come over.
“Fellow Daoist, we agree to this matter. From today onwards, this young lady will be the second young lady of my Wang family. Eldest young lady, please take out your family head seal and grant this young lady an official status.”
Hu Mingxin stepped forward and looked at Wang Ruolan. Wang Ruolan took out her seal, and a golden light flashed. Hu Mingxin felt that her identity had changed, but her cultivation level was too low, so she could not feel the difference.
If there were a powerful being, they would see two streams of fortune influencing her, one like a dragon and the other like smoke and clouds. These were clearly the two forces behind her: the Dragon Palace and the Wang family.
Seeing that the ceremony was complete, Gu Yuchuan spoke again: "I will inform people now, and someone will come to take you back tomorrow. I will instruct them to take good care of you, so you don't need to worry about that. Since I promised you, I will let you live a dignified life."
Wang Ruolan gracefully bowed and said, "Thank you, senior. And this younger sister, now that we are family, you need to have a Wang family name, otherwise there might be trouble after we enter the capital."
Hu Mingxin knew this too, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "How about we call her Wang Ruoxin?"
The matter was thus resolved, but then, Wang Haizhong suddenly died. Wang Ruolan held him, sobbing uncontrollably. In truth, with his injuries, he should have died long ago, but he couldn't bear to leave his young mistress. He knew that without proper care for her, even without pursuers, she wouldn't survive. It was this unwavering resolve that kept him from dying immediately.
Now that his obsession was gone, his body and soul had nothing to support them, and he died instantly.
No one comforted her. This is something everyone has to go through in life; everyone has to face life and death. It's something you have to figure out for yourself. The comfort from others is useless.
As the night passed, Wang Haizhong was finally buried next to the Hu family's grave. In the future, whether it was the Hu sisters or Wang Ruolan coming to pay their respects, they would always offer incense at the nearby grave. With this shared purpose, the relationship between the two women seemed even closer. Several hours later, Pei Yu arrived.
Gu Yuchuan repeatedly instructed them to take good care of Wang Ruolan before letting them leave. The two of them also needed to enter the city, but because of the Wang family's affairs, they had been delayed for some time. The two of them used the Heavenly Demon Transformation Secret Technique to conceal their demonic aura before entering the city.
Now that a new City God has been appointed, the Divine Realm has reappeared. Without concealment, it would be discovered. However, upon entering, they also found that there were some demons in the city. Indeed, demons already existed within human territory, but with the peace between humans and demons, their awkward position has eased, allowing them to live in the city. This is a very good thing.
However, it was obvious that Hu Mingxin's eyes had turned ugly. If their family hadn't been destroyed, in this prosperous era, perhaps their Hu family could really produce a Foundation Establishment stage expert. She shook her head. Thinking about these things now was meaningless. What she needed to do now was to find out who her enemy was!
