Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

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, with complex expressions.

”So youʼre saying, sister-in-law, 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 Yaozuʼs voice was heavy, ”No wonder you were unfamiliar with many things. Now we understand.”

Li Yaotie embraced his wife with heartache, ”Itʼs okay, dear. You didnʼt 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, youʼd still be my wonderful wife.”

”Say that again?”

Bai Rourou immediately glared.

However, Li Yaotieʼs 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 Village that she settled down there.

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

”Hahaha, I was even born a slave.” Li Dalong laughed heartily.

”Daughter-in-law, Iʼve spent more time with demonic beasts than with your father-in-law.” Xu Cuihua also laughed.

”What kind of talk is that?”

Li Dalong was unhappy at this point.

Instantly, the Li family burst into laughter, 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 outcome was not different from what he had expected.

After everyoneʼs laughter subsided, Li Dalong furrowed his brow, ”In that case, the Demon King in the Silver Iron Forest is practically our in-law. Since thatʼs 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 explained 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 towns lacked 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 ancestorʼs 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 to launch the attack next year.”

Li Yaowenʼs expression was grave, ”Including our family. Sister-in-law, I hope you understand that under the circumstances, I had to agree. Otherwise, our shops would have no place 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 familyʼs power has grown considerably in recent years, even if Ancestor agrees to help, we still canʼt compete with the six major families. Daughter-in-law, you should focus on preparing for childbirth. Weʼll find a way to handle this matter.”

”Thank you.”

Bai Rourouʼs 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 the combined forces of six families.

Secondly, even if the Li family helped the Demon King, if word got out, the Li family would have no place 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.

Itʼs 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 human language and rule over a territory.

Immediately, Li Wei commanded 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? Thatʼs why the Demon King didnʼt attack the Li family before. That fellow had already planned for Bai Rourou to enter human society, and the Green Valley Village 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.
