811: Chapter 525_2 811: Chapter 525_2 Cai Xiangxiang’s family members were escorting the elderly at that time, squeezing out among the numerous villagers, while other villagers, knowing they were only spectators, made way for the family to reunite.
“Grandpa, grandma, father, mother.”
Cai Xiangxiang also approached them, then embraced her mother, the two hugging each other while all family members watched.
“Wuu wuu wuu, Xiangxiang, it’s been over ten years without any news from you.
Why didn’t you come back to visit, why didn’t you send a message to the family?”
Listening to her mother’s choked and melancholic words, how could Cai Xiangxiang respond?
To say that she hadn’t been doing well outside, that she couldn’t send messages, and even less, return?
Wouldn’t saying such things make her family worry?
The so-called dilemma of whether to share woes or not!
All she could say was, “Mother, it’s my fault.”
“Daughter-in-law, it’s good that our daughter is back, we should be cheerful and take our daughter home.”
Cai Xiangxiang’s father also had tears in his eyes, tears of joy, and the other family members were moved by this scene, all shedding tears of happiness, secretly wiping them away with their sleeves.
Villagers, watching them, were also moved, some of them crying and wiping their tears with their sleeves or handkerchiefs.
Then they noticed a strong stench coming from their bodies.
“It stinks, aow…!”
Many people showed signs of nausea, as the stink coming from their bodies was unbearable.
The people of Cai Family Village felt it was disgraceful to smell so foul in front of an Immortal, their expressions helplessly uncomfortable.
Jiang Tang felt that their stench was truly unbearable, a stench that even the Vitality Flower could not neutralize.
To spare them the embarrassment, Jiang Tang secretly swung his hand, lightly waving it towards the several hundred people, the Dust Cleansing Spell resolving the stench and cleansing their clothes and bodies completely.
Jiang Tang felt that as the new son-in-law, he should be even more considerate.
His subtly considerate actions went unnoticed by the ordinary people, who only felt the stench disappear and experienced a fresh, comfortable feeling on their bodies.
Only Cai Xiangxiang understood that it was the considerate act of the man she loved, thinking of the acts to be done by a considerate man.
“It smells good!”
After the stench disappeared, their sense of smell changed; previously, there was only a foul odor, now there was only a pleasant scent, making them feel very comfortable.
“Jiang Tang, shall we take our relatives outside?”
At this point, Cai Xiangxiang thought that it wasn’t proper to keep her family members here forever, the issue with the Western Wolf Demon in the village needed to be resolved.
Her relatives had not eaten for several months, which might cause their stomachs to be hungry and thirsty.
“Yes, it’s time to take them home,” said Jiang Tang, who had already silently summoned the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit, capturing the Western Wolf Demon from the village into the Hell Palace.
The Hell Palace Artifact Spirit, feeling the excitement, dutifully captured the Western Wolf Demon into the magical treasure.
In the few hours, the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit watched the Western Wolf Demon King and the space’s Demon Beasts engaging in Magic Combat, thoroughly enjoying itself.
With several hundred Western Wolf Demons captured into the magical treasure, the space would become even livelier; it liked watching the drama.
Watching the Western Wolf Demons and Eastern Demon Beasts in Magic Combat, seeing who would win or lose.
The Western Wolf Demon King, having just been overwhelmed in combat, wondered if adding these several hundred Western Wolf Demons would strengthen their fighting power.
Seeing hundreds of Western Wolf Demons being captured, surrounded by thousands of Demon Beasts, the Western Wolf Demon King felt nearly doomed, overwhelmed by such a diverse array of Demon Beasts.
In the Hell Palace, the sudden appearance of so many Western Wolf Demons made the Demon Beasts on alert yet found it amusing; it seemed they could continue playing.
The unusual activity of the Demon Beasts made the ghosts and other entities in the space cautious, merely watching, not daring to make a move.
They sensed that a change was about to start within the space of the Hell Palace.
With so many creatures able to enter the Hell Palace, it seemed to be the doing of the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit and its master causing mischief.
Why would there be Western Wolf Demons outside the Cultivation World?
They sensed that something was amiss, the master of the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit was asserting his power.
Inside his Magical Treasure, Huang Chen silently watched, harboring resentment yet having no choice.
Unable to seek revenge or leave the Magical Treasure, he could only try his best to hide, hoping to be forgotten and silently grow stronger, to one day emerge again—not just for revenge, but hopefully to escape this cursed place.
To see his family again, putting the matter of revenge aside for the moment, realizing the distance between him and his adversaries had grown too vast.
Another person in the space, that wicked Taoist, was even more hidden than Huang Chen, having no Magical Treasure to conceal his body.
He could only use the Invisibility Technique, hiding underground in the space, barely surviving, knowing full well his sins as the Ghosts haunting the space wanted to settle scores with him.
The Taoist was frightened, now his beard and hair in a tangled mess, clothes grimy from hiding underground for long, devoid of any respectable appearance.
The Taoist and Huang Chen had fallen out, both deeply concealed, watching the Magic Combat between the Western Wolf Demon and the Eastern Demon Beasts.
Both master and disciple were merely spectators, daring not to make the slightest noise.
The Taoist had once thought of hiding inside a city treasure or submarine appearing in the space, where those Human Demons might not be a match for him.
But then he saw the Human Demons inside the Magical Treasure capturing Demon Beasts for food, a situation that he knew would eventually lead to their demise!
Huang Chen didn’t have as many thoughts; he knew that the safest place wasn’t someone else’s Magical Treasure, but the one specially crafted for him by his grandfather.
Thinking of his grandfather reminded him even more of his family, longing for his relatives night and day yet unable to break out or disrupt the confinement.
Unable to confront the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit, he could only shrink back like a turtle.
Living a life of surreptitious survival was better than being extinguished.
Jiang Tang saw that the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit had already taken away the Western Wolf Demon, so he invited Cai Xiangxiang:
“Alright, take your family and go home.”
“Okay!” Cai Xiangxiang agreed, and without leading the relatives through a secret passage back to the village, the spells she had learned over the years now came into use.
Cai Xiangxiang, a Golden Core Mage, could wave her hand and create a large circle of light encompassing several hundred ordinary villagers, guiding them safely back to the village.
Cai Xiangxiang and Jiang Tang also flew like Immortals, their soaring figures handsome, incredibly so.
The protected villagers, within the circle of light, could only see so many of them flying, unaware of what was protecting them, only knowing that they safely returned to their village.
This made them even more impressed by the Immortals, no wonder everyone wanted to become one.
Cai Xiangxiang and Jiang Tang also landed in the village, the houses transformed by the Western Wolf Demon now reverted back to their original state, a run-down village.
Most houses were old mud brick and tile houses, some even thatch-roofed, with a few slightly wealthier families living in blue brick-tiled houses.
Cai Xiangxiang looked at the village, almost the same as it was a decade ago, her family’s house looking much the same except a few extra rooms.
Perhaps her family members had married, added new rooms for the newlyweds, and had children, making the household a bit livelier.
Jiang Tang watched Cai Xiangxiang reunite with her family, returning to their home, while villagers barely went home knowing those Immortals wouldn’t stay long in this place.
Wanting to spend more time with the Immortals, perhaps to receive blessings.
The Immortals might bestow eternal health and prosperity upon their descendants.
Hundreds of villagers didn’t enter Cai Xiangxiang’s home.
They just watched from outside, waiting for the Immortals to bestow blessings upon them.
“Cai Xiangxiang, they must be hungry.
Get them something to eat first.”
Jiang Tang handed Cai Xiangxiang a Storage Bag filled with meat, which included several wild boars.
Enough for hundreds of people to eat for several meals, plus plenty of grains inside.
Jiang Tang intended for them to barbecue and eat just the meat.
Cai Xiangxiang, unhesitatingly, took the Storage Bag, laid out several wild boar meats on platters on the ground, and placed several bags of rice on the floor.
