Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

You should understand what she means, right?

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuechu lowered his head and nodded slightly.

Does Rongrong mean she's willing to be a sacrifice in this political marriage...?

"Brother...you must treat Rongrong well from now on."

"Do you need to remind me of that? My feelings for her are deeper than yours, so of course I'll treat her well. It's just that I never expected there to be such an extraordinary woman in the world."

She was willing to sacrifice herself to such an extent for her sister, even her emotions...

Dongfang Haoyang pondered for a moment, then looked at the full moon outside the window and continued.

"Emotionally, I do admire her, and I'm attracted by her intelligence, her loveliness, and her gentleness. Logically, it's because your sister Rongrong took us homeless people in; how could I, her brother, betray her..."

"What should we do, Sister Keya...?"

"To be honest..."

Dongfang Haoyang was having a bit of a headache about this matter, but telling the truth was better than lying, especially since he didn't know how to lie.

Moreover, given Rongrong's intelligence, it's impossible that she didn't notice these things, and Dongfang Haoyang had no intention of hiding them.

"Oh dear, what a chaotic scene."

Dongfang Yuechu lay on his brother's bed, holding his head, staring at the wooden ceiling, and murmured to himself.

Ya Ya's feelings for her brother were evident from the punishment she received last time; her brother was Ya Ya's savior.

He also injected the most precious divine blood into Ya Ya's body. It is normal for Ya Ya to develop feelings for her brother. In the morning, Ya Ya even openly contradicted her most admired sister for her brother's sake.

Afterwards, she brought over so many precious medicinal herbs, saying it was out of guilt, but looking at her blushing, shy expression, it was as red as a ripe peach.

Based on his understanding of that silly fox and her straightforward personality, Dongfang Yuechu absolutely refused to believe that Sister Ya Ya had no feelings for his brother.

"But that's not bad either, now we'll have two sisters-in-law!"

"Sigh...it's not that simple..."

Dongfang Haoyang sighed. Rongrong was someone he had to marry, but as for Miss Yaya, it was up to her own feelings.

Lacking experience in this area, it's best for him to remain passive.

"If Miss Ya Ya is unwilling, we can only make up for it in other ways. If she is willing, we have to respect Miss Rong Rong's wishes. Only in this way can we make it reasonable and legitimate."

"Oh, would Sister Rongrong be willing?"

The moment Dongfang Yuechu mentioned it, Haoyang felt even more guilty towards Rongrong.

"She said she was willing, but I don't know if she meant it. It's just so hard to say those words..."

Dongfang Haoyang still vividly remembered the look Tu Shan Rongrong gave him when he told Rongrong about his recent affairs with Tu Shan Ya Ya. She looked at him like he was a pervert.

Although he said he was willing, his eyes were filled with undisguised sorrow.

"Young master, you mustn't be a womanizer anymore. If you betray Rongrong, Rongrong will be very sad. In that case, Rongrong will take Yaya and run away from home, leaving you so you can't find us."

Dongfang Haoyang listened to Rongrong's words with a sense of guilt and mixed feelings.

He himself did not want to get involved in so many romantic entanglements, but his foolish younger brother fell in love with that fox demon and forced him to go to Tushan, which led to him, the older brother, being entangled in the affair, eventually developing into this unavoidable situation...

Haoyang would not deny what he had done to Ya Ya, so if Tu Shan Ya Ya asked him to take responsibility, he could only accept it and be responsible to the end.

After letting out a long sigh, Dongfang Haoyang rubbed Dongfang Yuechu's head.

"Little brother, if you ever manage to marry your fairy sister when you grow up, you can't be as fickle as your brother is. This time, your brother has set a bad example for you..."

"But you must remember to treat your partner well in the future."

"Of course, I'll treat them well too..."

No one is perfect, and Dongfang Yuechu originally wanted to advise his brother, but upon hearing that he had married Honghong, he immediately covered his blushing face with happiness, his heart bubbling with joy.

"Oh dear, brother, what are you saying? I'm still young. Isn't it a bit too early for you to be saying this?"

In the present human race, powerful clans hold absolute power, dynasties have declined, and the people suffer greatly under the rule of these clans. In addition, demons and bandits are rampant, and evil cultivators and rogue cultivators are vying for resources everywhere.

This is a dark age where the average life expectancy is no more than 35 years...

The age for adult human to serve in labor has been lowered from 15 to 12, which means that Dongfang Haoyang is now considered an adult.

Looking at Dongfang Yuechu covering her rosy cheeks, her smile was a mix of happiness and a hint of lewdness.

Dongfang Haoyang sighed softly, his gaze drifting to the flawless full moon in the sky.

"If Heaven had feelings, it too would grow old; the vicissitudes of life are the true path of humanity..."

Haoyang was born in a chaotic era where powerful families monopolized talent, land, and resources. As his family traveled around, hiding from pursuers and living in anonymity, they witnessed the hardships of ordinary people early on.

In many years of famine, powerful families not only failed to provide relief to the people in their own territories, but also engaged in land annexation, swallowing up the land of farmers and making their lives unbearably miserable.

The powerful families not only bought back the land from the disaster victims at bargain prices, but also rented it back to collect exorbitant rents.

Taoist priests, who were originally meant to guard against demonic calamities and natural disasters, became tools for oppressing the people and causing uprisings in the hands of powerful families, and the lives of ordinary people were as cheap as grass.

The Taoist priests didn't act like Taoist priests, and the common people didn't act like common people.

During those years of natural disasters, ordinary people could only survive by eating clay, tree bark, or even exchanging children.

In many places, even the tree bark had been gnawed off. People either couldn't bear the hunger and became bandits, or they starved to death and turned into piles of bones...

The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no cock crowing for thousands of miles.

That tragic scene was deeply imprinted in the eyes of young Haoyang at the time, and also deeply engraved in his heart.

Those tragic scenes constantly and deeply stimulated the budding imperial ambition and the desire to save the world within him.

It also made him realize that only the righteous path can save the world, while using evil and crooked paths to seek personal gain will only harm all living beings and bring about one's own destruction.

From that time on, he had the idea of ​​saving the world, but he had to obey his parents' wishes as a filial son, so he endured it for many years and never used force unless absolutely necessary.

But this cannibalistic world eventually took away his and his brother's parents, freeing them from the shackles of the beast, and at the same time, it made Haoyang completely disillusioned with this dog-like world.

Driven by anger, he decided to seek justice for his parents while also descending the mountain to save the world and fulfill his ideals.

His mother, Dongfang Qinlan, was the daughter of the old head of the Dongfang family and his maternal grandfather, Dongfang Guyue.

As Qin Lan's son, Dongfang Haoyang is naturally the most legitimate heir of the Dongfang family. However, due to the traitor Jin Renfeng, the Dongfang family declined, and his parents were forced to wander.

To achieve great things, one must first kill Jin Renfeng!

He is exposing his crimes of betraying his master and ancestors! He wants to give an explanation to those who died unjustly!

If Jin Renfeng is not eliminated, not only will his parents die with regrets, but Dongfang Haoyang's own Dao heart will also be affected. The righteous path he has comprehended will absolutely not allow that bastard Jin Renfeng to live peacefully.

This kind of beast who betrays his master and ancestors, is ungrateful and worse than a pig or a dog, it is an injustice that he is still alive!

"Let's do this first after I come out of seclusion..."

"What did you say, bro?"

"It's nothing. Just stay in Tushan and protect Tushan and the world your brother built."

"Hey? What are you talking about, bro? I don't understand."

Dongfang Haoyang smiled, gently patted Yuechu's head, and said softly.

"You'll understand in time, but I also want to give you a piece of advice that you must remember."

"The people are the most important, the state is next, and the ruler is the least important."

Dongfang Yuechu nodded blankly, feeling that his older brother seemed to have become a different person, his eyes becoming extremely deep.

His words were so profound that he couldn't quite understand them. They were completely different from the gentle older brother he usually knew, except when he was reprimanding him. This older brother was dignified and solemn.

Or perhaps it's as if he never truly understood his brother, or perhaps it's as if he's only now beginning to truly understand his brother.

"Okay, let's go to sleep."

Dongfang Haoyang took a deep breath of the fresh air of Tushan. Their room was filled with a faint floral fragrance. Dongfang Yuechu nodded, and the two washed up and prepared to go to sleep.

As night deepened, Dongfang Haoyang, lying in bed, slowly opened his eyes. Hearing his younger brother's even snoring, he got up to check on him and covered him with the blanket that had been kicked off the floor.

He secretly sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the system panel.
