Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 77: The Li Family’s In-law

At this moment, Wu Mengqiu had secretly gathered the heads of the three major families and was having a confidential discussion.

"After the Silver Iron Forest is breached, I have an agreement with Master Shancai from the Emerald Pines Temple. The corpse of the Silver Iron Forest Demon King shall belong to Master Shancai."

Everyone seemed to have no objections to this statement and nodded in agreement.

Then, Wu Mengqiu continued, "The seven major families have come together, but once the Demon King is dead, how do you all view the matter of distributing the benefits?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Wu Mengqiu said, "Let me be frank, the reason I called everyone here today is to discuss this matter. The seven major families have already agreed to jointly develop the Silver Iron Forest and to distribute the benefits equally. However, there's another interpretation of what 'equally' means. Am I right, everyone?"

As soon as he said this, the other three families were overjoyed.

"Senior Mengqiu is absolutely correct. Even if we work together, we still need to differentiate based on the amount of effort each party contributes."

"Exactly! Our four families have sent the most experts, so why should we split the spoils equally with them? In my opinion, once the Demon King is dead, we should seize the most valuable things!"

"Especially the Li family. The experts they sent are all at the early Foundation Establishment stage, and some have just recently broken through. I think they're just here to make up the numbers. I can't afford such friends!"

"..."

Li Wei lost interest in the so-called confidential discussion after watching for a while.

The only reason he paid such close attention was to assess the strength of these factions' experts.

Soon, Li Wei's gaze fixed upon a monk.

This monk, seated beneath a giant tree, had a plump face and large ears. His shaved head was the only clue to his monastic life; otherwise, he looked like a kitchen worker who'd eaten a bit too much, his plumpness almost comical.

This person wore a Buddha bead necklace with beads as big as plums around his neck, and a beige monk robe with a grid pattern made of gold thread. He also carried a golden staff. From any angle, it was clear that the Emerald Pines Temple must be raking in a lot of incense money.

[Master Shancai]

[Abbot of Emerald Pines Temple, a renowned expert in Sky Jade City.]

Li Wei frowned.

The Pig Demon King in the Silver Iron Forest had a thousand years of cultivation, but if he were to face this abbot, his chances of winning would be slim.

After all, no matter how much wealth Master Shancai possessed or how adorned he was with gold and silver, he still cultivated Buddhist Dharma, which was most effective in suppressing demonic and evil Qi.

...…

Soon, The seven families gathered together to discuss the matter of besieging and killing the Pig Demon King.

This discussion lasted for half a day. The seven families had already sent experts to thoroughly investigate the entirety of the Silver Iron Forest, both inside and out.

Li Yaowen, sitting in her wheelchair, suddenly spoke up.

"Esteemed seniors, this junior believes that with our current strength, why bother with any elaborate plans? We might as well charge directly into the heart of the Silver Iron Forest and take the Demon King's head!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Everyone turned their heads to look at Li Yaowen. Seeing that it was a young girl in the wheelchair, the beloved fourth daughter of the Li family, and also rumored to be the one in charge of the Li family's internal and external affairs, they held back their dissatisfaction and refrained from scolding her.

Li Dalong, upon seeing this, immediately let out a cold snort, "Yaozu, take this nonsense-spouting thing outside!"

As Li Yaozu pushed Li Yaowen out of the discussion tent, Li Dalong then turned to the crowd with a wry smile, "I apologize deeply. My daughter is inexperienced in the ways of the world. Managing the family affairs has made her a bit arrogant. Her jest should not be taken seriously."

Seeing Li Dalong's sincerity, the others didn't say much.

This made Wu Mengqiu, from the Lantier Wu family, frown. He had planned to suggest a direct assault during the discussion. But now that Li Yaowen had voiced her idea, and Li Dalong had dismissed it as something only an arrogant person would say, he found it difficult to bring it up again, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

At this time, an elder from the Gu family smiled and said, "We are fully aware of all the circumstances within the Silver Iron Forest."

"The Demon King resides in the center, with his subordinate demonic beasts guarding all directions. Therefore, we should attack from all sides, engaging the demonic beasts that protect the Demon King."

"Master Shancai's Buddhist Dharma is boundless, and he should be confident in defeating the Demon King."

"At that time, whether the Master assists us or we assist the Master, we all will achieve great success!"

With that said, The elder from the Gu family looked towards Master Shancai, who was meditating in the distance, "What are your thoughts, Master?"

"Good."

Master Shancai smiled serenely, not seeming to consider the Demon King a threat.

This strategy was thus decided.

In an instant, the seven families took action, each moving towards their designated positions. A single signal arrow would mark the moment to encircle and attack the Demon King from all sides!

Two more days passed.

The seven families parted ways, riding their horses towards their respective directions.

The Li family did the same, but they went deeper. After reaching their designated location, they didn't wait in place but instead headed deeper into the Silver Iron Forest!

It was the first time everyone had seen the Pig Demon King, and they were momentarily stunned.

After all, no matter how much they heard of the Demon King, the Pig Demon King's appearance was still a bit intimidating...

In the end, it was Li Dalong who broke the silence with a hearty laugh, stepping forward to greet him, "Hahaha, this is our in-law! Truly... truly impressive! I am Li Dalong, Yaotie's father!"

"Father... Father-in-law???"

Li Yaotie, usually cheerful and carefree, appeared quite reserved and a bit bewildered at this moment.

The Pig Demon King stood up, his massive body causing dust to fly everywhere. He spoke in a gentle and soft voice, "I never thought there would be a day when I'd be related to the human race by marriage. I've heard a lot about you all. The Li family's help in facing the Silver Iron Forest crisis this time, this kindness will never be forgotten by the Silver Iron Forest."

"You're welcome, you're welcome! Since you're family to the Li family, how could we let outsiders bully you?"

Li Dalong grinned widely.

Seeing the Pig Demon King and the Li family chatting harmoniously, Li Wei pursed his lips.

To be honest, when he first discovered that the Li family's in-laws were a pig, and a Demon King at that, his level of bewilderment was no less than Li Yaotie's current dumbfounded state.

Looking at Li Yaozu standing beside him, the young man was scratching his head, blinking his eyes, and looking around, seemingly questioning his entire existence.

His younger brother's father-in-law... is a pig?

While everyone was talking, In the image.

"Whoosh!"

A signal arrow shot straight into the sky!

Everyone raised their heads, looking at the arrow soaring into the sky.

The wind rustled through the Silver Iron Forest, a storm was coming!

"In-law, we should also get to work." Li Dalong's eyes suddenly sharpened.

The Pig Demon King nodded slightly."I wish the Li family good luck in battle!"
