Chapter 14 Twilight Town 7

The next day, Qingshan hosted a banquet for them, with a large round table filled with delicious dishes.

There were fifteen plates of meat alone, not to mention the other dishes.

Despite the lavish preparations made by Qingshan, none of the five people at the table showed any interest in the food.

Shen Yingsi was a person with low appetite, and besides, his mother was a person who was extravagant, so these things were normal to him.

The injuries on Wen Mingzhu and the other two hadn't healed yet, so they had difficulty eating meat, let alone drinking porridge. Therefore, easily digestible rice porridge was placed in front of them.

Wen Li was a big eater, but in this situation, she simply couldn't eat. She was pinching her thigh hard to keep herself from laughing out loud.

At the table, everyone except Wen Li wore veils, including Shen Yingsi.

Surrounded by a group of masked men, Wen Li felt like she had fallen into the clutches of some assassin organization. The thought of those three men at the table who had been opposing her yesterday now made their faces look like three swollen pig heads.

That was bad enough, but who knew that when the host, Qingshan, sat down, he was also wearing a veil!

Wen Li felt even more uncomfortable now.

"Why is Senior Qingshan also wearing this veiled hat?" Shen Yingsi asked the question Wen Li wanted to ask.

Qingshan coughed and said, "I caught a cold last night and I'm afraid of infecting everyone. What's wrong, Fourth Master?"

"We're afraid of being recognized when we're out and about. Besides, if there are assassins, they won't recognize us if we act like this."

Wen Li had just managed to suppress her laughter, picking out most of the bones from the fish on the table with a large mouthful. Now, as she was carefully savoring it, she heard Shen Yingsi's words and instantly recalled that scene, unable to help but laugh out loud. Little did she know that she would get a fishbone stuck in her throat.

"Woo! Woo~"

Wen Li spoke up, slapping the table, and the eyes of the people at the table instantly turned to her.

Wen Li got a fishbone stuck in her throat, and the people at the table each had their own thoughts.

Shen Yingsi sat down next to her, gently patted her back, and said softly, "Open your mouth, let me see."

Wen Li obediently raised her head.

"Is Miss Wenli alright?" Qingshan asked with concern.

"Sister, are you alright? Let me see." With that, Wen Mingzhu walked past Shen Yingsi to Wen Li's side to check on her.

Wen Li had two small thorns stuck in her throat, not deep.

Wen Mingzhu suggested, "Sister, why don't you take a sip of water and swallow it, or I can help you pick it out."

Swallowing it would hurt so much!

"Pull it out!" Wen Li recalled the rough and barbaric way her mother used to remove fish bones for her, and it hurt!

"Bend over and cough it out. The fishbone is small and not deep, don't worry."

Shen Yingsi's large hand comforted Wen Li's back. Wen Li turned around and coughed forcefully, and sure enough, she coughed up the thorn.

Wen Li turned around, and there was a glass of water in front of her. She took it and said, "Thank you."

After drinking the water, Wen Li felt much better, and Wen Mingzhu, realizing she was being frivolous, silently returned to her seat.

"The wolf demon is causing trouble again this time, and it's probably the wolf king Huo Zhao who went into hiding ten years ago. He may not have left Mushan Town all these years, and he is likely hiding in or near Mushan Town."

Aoyama looked worried as he spoke.

Zhao Sicheng said, "Senior Qingshan, please rest assured. It is the duty of demon hunters to catch demons. Since we have encountered the chaos caused by wolf demons, we will definitely not sit idly by."

"Brother Sicheng is right, we will definitely help you."

Qingshan was deeply moved. He stood up, raised his wine cup, and said, "If it were just me alone, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect the safety of Mushan Town. Here, I would like to toast everyone to thank you all for your help!"

Why are his hands so red? Wen Li stared at Qingshan's hands, somewhat puzzled. But before long, Qingshan finished his drink in one gulp, sat down, and put his hands down.

"I'll drink first, everyone else can drink as you please. Miss Wen, you and the others with injuries on your faces don't need to drink."

The others were unable to drink alcohol due to the injuries on their faces, so only Wen Li and Shen Yingsi managed to take a sip.

"Last night, you were injured while you were out. Did you see the person's face clearly? Was it a human or a demon who injured you?" Wen Li asked.

Wen Mingzhu shook her head regretfully: "That person knocked us unconscious from behind, and we don't know anything after that."

It's hard to tell whether they're human or demon; this is a real problem.

"But Senior Qingshan really doesn't know about the bride marrying the mountain god?" Shen Yingsi asked, instantly attracting Wen Li's attention again.

Aoyama's expression was obscured by his veil, but his voice was filled with doubt and confusion: "I've lived here for almost ten years and have never heard of anything so absurd. Where are the gods in this world? Fourth Master, you must be joking."

Wen Li countered, "Could it be that Shen Yingsi and I both misread it?"

"I really don't know. Perhaps it's the work of that wolf demon. Wolf demons are cunning. It seems that Huo Zhao has been secretly deceiving many people in places I can't see all these years. It's all my fault! If I had discovered this, perhaps so many people wouldn't have died."

Aoyama's voice sounded very remorseful, and even a little tearful.

Wen Mingzhu quickly comforted him, "Senior Qingshan, this is not your fault. Huo Zhao is inherently fierce and cunning, and now he has secretly gone into hiding. It is already remarkable that you were able to protect so many people."

“The cannibalistic wolf king Huo Zhao may have secretly eaten many young girls over the years,” Zhao Sicheng said worriedly.

All cultivators know that the Wolf King Huo Zhao was once considered an unapproachable figure by cultivation sects. A thousand-year-old demon, he was bloodthirsty and cruel, even cannibalistic. He once said, "A demon eating humans is like eating chickens; it's just eating meat, what's wrong with that?"

Many people grew up listening to stories of Huo Zhao eating people.

If a child in the family is disobedient, the elders often use the story of Huo Zhao eating people to scare the child.

Just imagining that scene sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

Wen Li glanced at the chicken leg in her hand and silently put it down. She inexplicably felt that she was eating human flesh instead of chicken.

"We don't know what the wolf demon is up to, and we're afraid he might still try to hurt people. We must find him as soon as possible," Zhao Sicheng said.

Shen Yingsi's voice came from under the veil: "Demons must be killed, but we need to wait until your facial injuries heal first. We'll search the area for the next few days to see if we can find any clues. So for now, everyone, please enjoy your meal."

“Your Highness is right, let’s have our meal first,” Qingshan agreed.

With their own thoughts and feelings, everyone began to eat. Due to the injuries on their faces, Wen Mingzhu and the others didn't eat well. In contrast, Wen Li ate with great relish. Most of the dishes on the table were things she didn't usually get to eat.

But the fish on the table made her afraid to touch it, for fear of getting a fish bone stuck in her throat.

Wen Mingzhu looked down on Wen Li's vulgar eating habits and was even a little arrogant. After all, she grew up in the countryside and could never compare to her.

But the next second, anger rose in Wen Mingzhu's heart, and she couldn't even believe her eyes.

Wen Li stared in shock at the fish in her bowl. She glanced at the seemingly normal person and worried, "Would there be fish bones in here, or even poison?"

Si Xiaxia glanced at the male lead's "darkening" level and had the same thought in her mind.

"Why don't you eat?"

"Thank you." Wen Li thanked her and carefully put the fish meat into her mouth. The fish bones were removed very cleanly, and the taste was quite good.
