"Sorry, we thought it was that damn demon again" the slim, tall man who opened the door for them apologized again, ordering one of his servants to go bring tea and some sweets "It is an honor to have immortals come to my humble inn."

Both Xiao Zhan and the other four did not comment, Jiang Cheng had the veins on his forehead about to burst with anger and his face twisted in disgust.

It was no wonder.

They had entered a company inn! (TN: 7u7)

That's not the most outrageous thing, but the fact that it was for cut-sleeves. Xiao Zhan was fine, a little curious but quiet, the Wen brothers didn't comment, Lan WangJi seemed a little uncomfortable, and well, Jiang Cheng was about to flip the table at any moment. (TN: LWJ is taking notes, I no proof but no doubts)

All the men watching them from afar were painted and in women's clothes, even pretending to be one. Just now one of the servants who had shouted behind the door, in an intend to chase away the fierce demon.

As if it were cut-sleeve thought Jiang Cheng when he heard the owner's explanation.

Lu Mian opened his golden fan and hid half his face behind it, Jiang Cheng almost threw up because of his behavior and sitting posture.

Will you stop behaving like that!

"And tell me..." Xiao Zhan took the floor before Jiang Cheng committed some nonsense "Who or what is the demon of a thousand? Why is he terrorizing the people of Chu City."

"Aiyah, I don't know how to start honey" Xiao Zhan's skin crawled with goose bumps when he heard that affectionate tone, whoever wants to turn the table now, it was him "I don't know how it happened, only that one day the young ladies of the city began to disappear every night and no one knows where he takes them" Lu Mian paused as he made a gesture that he wanted them to come closer "It is said that it was invoked by a young bride who wanted to get married but her fiancé died and in order not to be embarrassed, she asked the demon to take the groom's place".

Xiao Zhan looked puzzled at Lu Mian, this seems to be the screwed up than he thought. If it's like he's telling it, it will be crazy to rescue all the young ladies who were kidnapped.

"That demon is a pervert!" exclaimed Lu Mian in a high-pitched voice full of disgust "Look at him having a thousand wives and now coveting my girls. "

Xiao Zhan opened his eyes wide and noticed Jiang Cheng trembling with anger beside him, the poor fellow will not be able to take it anymore.

Demon of a thousand wives? Is he bisexual for going for men too?

Who the fuck created this demon?!

Xiao Zhan's eyebrows furrowed, thinking that not only would it be crazy to have to save only women, but now young men as well. According to what Lu Mian explained to them, this damned demon goes out every two or three nights in search of a new wife, all the girl families ran away and those who had more than one, gave one to the demon as a bride.

Nobody knows what he looks like, he doesn't show up until after midnight and even if there were people around waiting to kill him, nobody managed to see his shadow. The brides disappear in the blink of an eye, with no time for them to react.

"I am sure that with the immortals here, the demon will be defeated," Lu Mian said enthusiastically as he glowered at Xiao Zhan, Jiang Cheng, Wen Ning and Lan WangJi, completely ignoring Wen Qing, the only woman in the group.

To avoid a catastrophe, Xiao Zhan went ahead of Jiang Cheng, who was already about to draw his sword, and asked for rooms for everyone.

Lu Mian took the opportunity to offer to have some of his "girls" accompany them, which was all denied, he could only sigh and give them the rooms.

Well, at least he can enjoy the view.

Everyone entered their individual rooms to finally rest after the long trip.

Xiao Zhan sitting comfortably on the bed, with the doors and windows locked, made the mysterious book appear. When he had seen the "mission" he had not read much of the information in there, he had just been cursing for half a day.

Now with more peace of mind, he read the small report and realized that almost everything Lu Mian said was true. This demon called "Demon of a Thousand Wives" is invoked mainly by widows who seek to ensure that all future brides can never get married and are kidnapped by this demon and turned into his wives.

There wasn't much information about it in the book, it was like when you're missing the internet and the page wasn't quite loaded. That same feeling was what he felt when he saw the incomplete information on the page of the book.

And how could he get this "internet" to work? He has yet to understand the book.

Turning the book back into a ring on his finger, Xiao Zhan leaned back on the bed looking at the ceiling thoughtfully.

If what Lu Mian says is true and the demon hasn't appeared for two nights now, tomorrow should be when the damn thing comes out again, but there's a problem: they needed a bride.

Xiao Zhan was too lazy to keep thinking about all that, and after a few minutes he fell asleep because he was so tired.
