Chapter 161 - 146: Settlement

Under the leadership of Little Fox, a group of Butterfly Demons began walking towards the clearing not far from the house.

Many young Butterfly Demons curiously observed the scenes inside the house, wondering what kind of important figures lived in such a beautiful home.

You Lan also looked on with curiosity when suddenly a very handsome person peeked out from inside.

It was a very good-looking man, whose features were somewhat feminine, but he was the most handsome person You Lan had ever seen in her short life.

On his head was a pair of fluffy ears that You Lan recognized as fox ears.

"So he is a Fox Spirit," thought You Lan to herself.

It’s no wonder he was so handsome. You Lan rubbed her own ruddy little cheeks.

Hu Er took an interested glance at You Lan and took a particular liking to this little girl.

"What are you looking at?" Old Wolf’s figure leisurely appeared behind him, asking with a smile.

Having left the battlefield, he seemed to have washed away the fierceness from his body, and his whole demeanor had become much more gentle.

"An interesting little girl," Hu Er said, narrowing his peach blossom eyes and smiling.

Upon hearing this, Old Wolf became curious and poked his head out to see the migrating group of Butterfly Demons.

"Where did these Butterfly Demons come from? There are so many!" exclaimed Old Wolf in astonishment.

You should know that because of their race, Butterfly Demons were rare in the Three Realms; it was not easy to see even one on regular days, but today he had seen so many.

"I’m not sure, probably that important person brought them in from Luzhou in the North," Hu Er speculated.

While the two were talking, they saw You Lan, the little girl, turn her head again, wanting to look at the handsome big brother. When she saw Old Wolf’s fierce face, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but there was no trace of fear.

Seeing this, Old Wolf couldn’t help but bare his teeth in a friendly smile, which unfortunately looked a bit fierce and terrifying due to his appearance.

You Lan returned the smile with a friendly one of her own, showing no fear of Old Wolf’s appearance.

"Haha, she really is an interesting little girl," Old Wolf laughed happily.

A Female Demon beside You Lan affectionately stroked her head.

She was quite fond of this brave and strong little girl, always reminded of her own deceased daughter, and thus took great care of her.

"What’s so funny?"

You Lan pursed her lips and smiled, and after a while, she pointed towards the large mansion not far away and said, "There’s a very handsome brother there, and a very fierce-looking but gentle uncle."

The Female Demon looked up but saw the courtyard gate empty; there were none of the demons You Lan had mentioned.

"You must respect the important people inside; they are all powerful Demon Kings," the Female Demon cautioned.

You Lan nodded with a smile and said, "I know, godmother!"

The Female Demon was momentarily stunned by this address, and she asked You Lan somewhat nervously, "What did you just call me?"

"Godmother!" You Lan’s little face was filled with a joyful smile.

This smile seemed like a ray of sunshine piercing through the Female Demon’s closed heart, making her suddenly feel the urge to cry.

She rushed forward and embraced You Lan in her arms, joyfully replying, "Hey, godmother is right here."

At that moment, You Lan’s figure seemed to merge with her own daughter, making her feel less alone.

You Lan pulled her naive and ignorant sister over and said with a smile, "From now on, we’re family."

The Female Demon gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, nodding incessantly and saying, "Yes, you’re right, from now on, we are family."

She embraced the two children in her arms, tears flowing incessantly, murmuring to herself, "I have a home again!"

A group of people slowly walked across the flower-filled meadow, Little Fox pointing to a spot near the water source and saying, "This is your new home from now on!"

The leader of the group fell in love with the place at first sight, the lush green grass releasing endless vitality.

Various colors of flowers competed with each other, blooming fiercely.

Next to them, a stream wound its way past, and the sound of the flowing water was pleasing to the heart.

The old man put down the things in his hand and embraced the land, claiming this spot as the place where their race would settle and establish their roots.

"Children, this is our home from now on," the old man called out joyfully.

The butterfly wings on her back trembled gently, with colorful powder starting to dance from them, emitting colorful lights under the sunlight, looking very beautiful.

Hearing her words, all the Butterfly Demons let out jubilant cheers, and many were so happy that they wept. After so many years, they had finally found a place to settle, where their children wouldn’t have to live in fear every day.

Little Fox, observing the joy of the crowd, also showed a brilliant smile. Having gone through hardship himself, he could empathize with the feelings of these Butterfly Demons, which were the sweetness after adversity and the most brilliant hope in despair.

As everyone began to calm down, Little Fox continued his work, explaining the important things about this world to the newcomers.

He gently pointed to the south and said, "In that direction lies Flame Mountain, home to many Spirits of Flame, who are also followers of the big boss, don’t be afraid."

"To the north is a barren land, which is the prison here, inhabited by a fearsome Beast of Calamity; don’t go there if you have no reason."

"To the west is a Buddha Land, where a Paper Buddha resides, also part of the boss’s power."

"To the east lies a vast ocean, inhabited by a fearsome Demon King; it’s best you don’t go there."

As Little Fox explained, the people gained a new understanding of this world.

In this vast land, everything seemed so novel, and these beings he mentioned by name alone sounded intimidating. The strength of the person who could subdue these beings must be incredibly powerful.

"Can I become a guard under the big boss?" You Lan asked Little Fox with courage.

The moment Lin Fang saved her and her sister, You Lan had decided to follow him loyally.

"Sure, you can, but you are too weak now," Little Fox said, hands on his hips.

"I can’t even beat you," he thought to himself.

"I know, I will strive to become stronger. One day, I will become a guard for the boss and protect him," You Lan declared resolutely, a light of determination sparkling in her eyes.

"Good, that’s the spirit!" Little Fox gave You Lan a thumbs-up.

Just then, several voices resonated from not far away, and everyone turned their heads to see two Little Monsters accompanying a burly Tiger Demon as they slowly approached.
