Chapter 22 – Stay at the Hu Residence, and meet an old friend again

When it was discovered that someone else wanted to participate in the Groom Selection Conference, the brows of the powerful figures from the demon clan present furrowed.

Although this Groom Selection Conference was said to be a selection from the young talents of the world, it was actually an internal selection within the demon clan.

Now that all the expected races had participated, where did this guy come from?

"Excuse me, please make way."

"Sorry, sorry, I have something urgent."

Chen Changsheng squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, then straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes and cupped his hands.

"Chen Changsheng of the human race greets the Wolf King."

"Although I have never met Princess Wanyan, I also wish to participate in this Groom Selection Conference."

As soon as he said this, the entire venue was in an uproar.

At first, everyone thought it was some demon clan young master who was late, but who would have thought it was a human.

A human participating in the demon clan's Groom Selection Conference was simply a colossal joke.

"Humans, get out of Nightmoon Kingdom!"

Someone shouted, and immediately, many from the demon clan began to curse at Chen Changsheng.

However, in the face of the demon clan's insults, Chen Changsheng maintained a smile, seemingly unaffected.

Seeing this, the Wolf King pressed his hands down, and the scene instantly quieted.

"You wish to marry my daughter, on what grounds?"

"Simply because I possess a sincere heart. For a human to participate in the demon clan's Groom Selection Conference requires immense courage."

"Now that I am here, isn't it enough to prove my feelings for Princess Wanyan?"

Hearing this, the Wolf King's lips curled slightly, and he smiled, "Such a sincere heart. For the sake of your sincerity, I will allow you to participate in the Groom Selection Conference."

"I have stated before, as long as one is a cultivator above the Foundation Establishment Realm, they are eligible to participate in this Groom Selection Conference."

"Though you are human, you meet the criteria."

"Tomorrow is the test of the Groom Selection Conference. Whether you succeed will depend on your abilities."

With that, the Wolf King stood up and left.

However, halfway through, the Wolf King hesitated and said, "Elder Gui, this human cultivator has come from afar."

"He probably doesn't have a place to stay yet, arrange for him to stay at the Hu Residence."

"Let's not have the humans think that our demon clan doesn't know how to treat guests."

"Understood."

After casually arranging Chen Changsheng's accommodation, the Wolf King disappeared completely.

Although the demon clan was dissatisfied with a human also participating in the Groom Selection Conference, the Wolf King had spoken, and everyone could only leave disappointed.

"Greetings, Brother Hu. I fear I will have to impose on your residence for the next few days."

Hearing the Wolf King's arrangement for him, Chen Changsheng immediately greeted Hu Zhan with a cheerful smile.

Looking at this suddenly appearing human, Hu Zhan sized him up and also smiled.

"Brother Chen, your courage is truly admirable."

"To share a roof with Brother Chen is indeed a great fortune."

Seeing Hu Zhan and Chen Changsheng chatting amiably, Lin Hu instantly felt disgusted.

"You fox clan always like to do such disgraceful things. This person's attire clearly shows he's from the Royal Dynasty."

"A defeated subordinate, how dare he stand before us."

In response to Lin Hu's insult, Chen Changsheng didn't even lift an eyelid, simply maintaining a silent demeanor.

However, Hu Zhan sneered, "Lin Hu, if you're not bright, don't come out and embarrass the demon clan."

"The Royal Dynasty is indeed a defeated subordinate of Nightmoon Kingdom."

"But Nightmoon Kingdom defeated the Royal Dynasty, not the human race. If some powerful humans heard your words."

"If it leads to a war between the two races, can you bear the responsibility?"

Hu Zhan's words instantly rendered Lin Hu speechless.

A war between races was a heavy accusation, and even with a hundred times the courage, Lin Hu might not dare to take it on.

In anger, Lin Hu's aura exploded, ready to compete with Hu Zhan.

However, before they could act, Elder Gui slowly walked to the middle.

"Fighting among the demon clan in broad daylight, do you want outsiders to laugh at us?"

Seeing Elder Gui step in to stop them, Lin Hu snorted coldly and then turned to leave.

After Lin Hu left, Hu Zhan turned to Chen Changsheng and smiled, "Brother Chen, I apologize, I accidentally brought up something that might upset you."

"Although Nightmoon Kingdom is at war with the Royal Dynasty, our fox clan has always been close to the human race. I hope Brother Chen doesn't mind."

"No problem, Brother Hu is straightforward, how could I be petty?"

Saying this, Chen Changsheng walked to a nearby tree and picked up the bald little black dog that had been barking wildly.

"Brother Chen, is this your battle pet?"

"Hahaha!"

"Not really, I found it by the roadside, looking emaciated and abandoned."

"I couldn't bear it, so I brought it along."

"I see, Brother Chen truly has a kind heart!"

Hu Zhan and Chen Changsheng chatted and laughed as they walked towards the Hu Residence, while the little white wolf in Chen Changsheng's arms struggled desperately.

Unfortunately, everyone's attention was on Chen Changsheng.

Who would notice a bald, pitch-black "mutt"?

......

Nightmoon Kingdom's palace.

The Wolf King sat quietly on the throne, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest.

At this moment, Elder Gui walked in from outside.

"Reporting to the Wolf King, the human has been sent to the Hu Residence."

"Hmm~"

The Wolf King responded casually, indicating he understood, then said.

"Yue'er was taken by a human, and now another human appears at the Groom Selection Conference."

"Elder Gui, do you think these two are connected?"

Hearing this, Elder Gui hesitated for a moment and said, "This person's background is unknown, and his appearance is so coincidental, he must be related to the princess's disappearance."

"But even if he is related to the princess's disappearance, he certainly isn't the mastermind. A Golden Elixir stage cultivator doesn't have the ability to conceal heavenly secrets."

"This person is likely a pawn sent by the mastermind. Until we determine the princess's whereabouts, we must not act rashly."

"Well said, I will trouble Elder Gui to investigate this matter."

"Find out the background of this human, I want to see who is behind this."

"Understood!"

Elder Gui turned and left, and the Wolf King's expression turned cold.

His daughter had been taken, and the mastermind even sent a Golden Elixir stage human cultivator to humiliate him.

If he caught the mastermind, he would tear them to pieces.

......

Hu Residence.

"Senior, do you remember me?"

"I'm Meiniang!"

Having moved into the Hu Residence, Chen Changsheng was about to rest when a woman unexpectedly visited.

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment.

Then he remembered, this woman was the fox-eared girl from the demon clan he met thirty years ago when he first awoke.

"So it's you!"

"What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Hu Meiniang looked around and said, "Senior, let's talk inside, this is not the place to speak."
