Huihui was stunned when she heard Mo Li's words. Cold sweat broke out on her face, and her smile became very stiff.

"Um, let's go watch the battle against the Demon King's army!"

"No, I'm not interested in that. Youyou's parents have already been met, and now it's time for me to meet yours. Let's go!"

"Wait, wait a minute, don't pull me!"

Mo Liqiang grabbed Huihui by the collar and headed towards home, and no matter how much Huihui resisted, she couldn't break free.

Youyou said she was going to punish the friend who sent that letter, Alu, and bid farewell to Moli for the time being.

Tohka, Mine, and Kurohime were very interested in the tourist spot the clan leader had mentioned, so they made plans to go see it together.

Mo Li led Huihui and Darkness to a small wooden house, which was Huihui's home.

How should I put it? It's a bit rude to say it like that, but this is a house that looks even poorer than the average family's.

"Mmm, what a warm and nostalgic house!"

"Hey, don't you think this is just a dilapidated little wooden house?"

Mo Li shook his head. In his previous life, he had lived in a house like this when he was a child.

Looking at the sadness in Mo Li's eyes, Hui Hui felt a deep empathy and hugged him even tighter.

Chapter 334 Huihui: I don't want to be with him!

Standing in front of her house, Huihui took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the entrance hall.

Not long after, the sound of running footsteps came from inside the house, and then someone opened the closed door.

What appeared behind the door was a little girl who looked a lot like Huihui and was about the same age as a lower elementary school student.

"Mimi, your big sister is back. Have you been a good girl at home?"

Huihui bent down and spoke in a very gentle tone.

This must be the little sister Huihui was talking about, Mimi. Are the Crimson Demons all so casual about naming their children?

Upon seeing who it was, Mimi froze, her eyes widening in disbelief. She took a deep breath and shouted:

"Dad—! My sister brought a man home with her—!"

This shout left Huihui frozen in place, unable to calm down for a long time.

Inside the living room, Mo Li observed the surroundings. The house was practically bare, which explained why Hui Hui didn't want to come back.

Just then, the middle-aged man sitting opposite Mo Li cleared his throat. He was Huihui's father, Mr. Piao Sanlang.

At first glance, he seemed like just an ordinary middle-aged man with black hair, but his eyes were quite sharp, and he had been silently exuding a sense of pressure since the beginning. Was it the awareness of being a father?

Sitting next to Piao Sanlang was a beautiful woman whose face resembled Huihui's. She had long, lustrous black hair and a few fine lines around her mouth and eyes.

"Ahem, my daughter has been well taken care of by you, Mr. Kazuma Sato!"

"That's right, my daughter wrote a lot about Mr. Kazuma in her letter, but after meeting you in person, I found that you don't quite match the description in the letter!"

It seems that Huihui's parents mistook Mo Li for Sato Kazuma, since Huihui had been adventuring with Sato Kazuma before, and it's normal for her to mention him in her letters.

Seeing their misunderstanding, Mo Li quickly explained:

"No, I'm not Kazuma Sato, my name is Mo Li, it belongs to Megumin..."

"Friends! That's right, we're just friends!"

Huihui spoke first, afraid that Mo Li would say something strange.

Piao Sanlang stared at Huihui for a long time with deep emotion, then sighed and looked at Mo Li with sharp eyes, wanting to get the answer he wanted from him.

"So, Mr. Mo Li, I would like to ask you, do you really have no improper thoughts about my daughter?"

"Hey, no, we're just companions."

Mo Li waved his hands repeatedly. Even if that was what he thought, it was better not to say it in front of the parents. He still had that much emotional intelligence.

Huihui's eyes flashed with disappointment after hearing what Mo Li said, but she quickly hid it.

But Piao Sanlang seemed to dislike Mo Li's statement very much, his face full of anger, and he reached out and grabbed the table.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

"Honey! Stop this! Stop flipping the table! It'll break! We're broke!"

Huihui's mother desperately held down the table, which saved the last table in the house.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Mo Li's face. What was going on? Was there something wrong with his answer just now?

The thought processes of the Crimson Demon Clan are really different from those of normal people.

No wonder Youyou said that the Crimson Demon Clan was a weapon used to fight against the Demon King. Even Mo Li was having trouble keeping up with this momentum.

After a long while, Piao Sanlang regained his composure, picked up the teacup on the table, and sighed.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper, but it's all because you pretended to be stupid and insisted that you two were friends."

"Father! It's getting late, is there any food left at home?"

Huihui blushed and, to avoid an awkward situation, forced the conversation to shift to food.

Speaking of food, Mimi suddenly remembered the situation at home and tugged at Huihui's sleeve.

"Sister, it seems we're out of rice to serve our guests!"

"Hey, really? Didn't I send a lot of money home last time? How come we don't even have anything to eat?"

Huihui's eyes widened. She had completed many raiding missions before, and a portion of the bounty money would be sent back home.

Piao Sanlang scratched his face, looking embarrassed, and said:

"You mean that? Most of it was used to pay off debts..."

"And what about the rest? I've sent back quite a few!"

"You know Mimi is almost of school age. As a member of the Crimson Demon Clan, we can't let her not even learn a high-level spell, otherwise what kind of great mage would she be!"

Huihui was speechless and looked at Moli with a very apologetic look.

Mo Li shook his head, expressing his understanding of her family's situation. It just so happened that he had bought a lot of sweet steamed buns in Alcanredia last time, and since he had nowhere to store them, he had put them in the Divine Might Space.

Mo Li reached into the Divine Might Space and took out two boxes of sweet steamed buns, placing them on the table.

"It's okay, we can have this for dinner!"

The couple, who had been treating each other with utmost respect just moments before, simultaneously reached out and placed their hands on the box upon seeing the sweet steamed buns.

"Mom, I want to keep here the Dong 3717 Xi 2911 Jiu that Mr. Kunmo Li gave me."

"Oh dear, you were just using such a distant term of address, and suddenly you're calling me Mr. Mo Li? Please, that's too much. This is for dinner tonight, I won't let you use it as a snack with your drinks."

Although their tone was unusually gentle, Mo Li could hear the underlying tension within it.

Huihui covered her face, too ashamed to look at Mo Li.

"Is it food? Hey, is it solid food? Not the thin, bland porridge we usually eat at home with lots of water added, but something that will actually fill you up?"

Mimi looked at the food on the table, her eyes shining, and shouted happily.

How did this family manage to survive? Is this a talent of the Crimson Demon Clan?

Mo Li silently took out a few more boxes of sweet steamed buns and spread them out on the table.

After the wife opened the box, a fragrant aroma wafted out, and the family of three instantly snatched all the steamed buns out of the box.

Mimi held a sweet steamed bun in each hand and, like a squirrel, popped them into her mouth one after another.

"Here, have some, it's delicious!"

Looking at the sweet steamed bun in her hand, Mimi swallowed hard, then handed the untouched bun to Mo Li, staring intently at him.

Mo Li smiled, but instead of taking the steamed bun, she patted Mimi's head.

"Thank you, big brother. I'm already full. Mimi can have the sweet steamed bun herself!"

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Mimi said, "Oh, I see!" and then plopped down next to Mo Li, continuing to quietly and attentively eat her sweet steamed bun.

Just then, Piao Sanlang said to Mo Li with a serious expression:

"...No matter how much food you bring, I will not give you any rice."

"No, I didn't mean that!"

Mo Li was already thinking about how to leave this place. Maybe she should stay at Youyou's house tonight.

After they finished eating, the lady came over with a cup of tea, looking at Mo Li with a gentle smile.

This smile gave Mo Li a bad feeling. Just as he was about to take his leave, his wife suddenly asked:

"Mr. Mo Li seems to be a good person, so I don't object. However, if he wants to take my daughter away, he'll at least have to come up with a decent dowry!"

"Wait, wait a minute, Mother, who wants to be with him? Don't you know who he is..."

Huihui stopped talking halfway through her sentence; she couldn't let her family know that Mo Li was the Demon King.

The wife assumed Huihui was just shy and didn't take it too seriously.

"Oh? Interesting. How much dowry would it take to take your daughter away?"

"Wait, Mo Li, why are you joining in the fun too!"

Huihui stood up in a panic. How did they suddenly start talking about her life's most important matter? She was the one involved, right here.

"Although I have never met Mr. Kazuma, my intuition tells me that Mr. Mo Li is the most suitable for my daughter!"

"Yes, yes, you know our family's situation. We only need 100,000 Eris, because no matter how much we scrape together, we're still far from enough for Mimi's tuition..."

Piao Sanlang explained that in order to ensure Huihui's happiness (and Qianqian's), and also so that Mimi could go to school smoothly, he had no choice but to ask for a dowry of 100,000 Eris.

Because the Red Devil Village is located in a remote area, they have not yet received news of the Eris Order's abolition, and the currency they use is still the Eris.

Mo Li expressed her understanding, saying that even if they didn't mention it, she would do her best to help them.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Mo Li pulled out a check from his pocket; it was the bounty Luna had given him when he last attacked the mobile fortress.

Because the amount was relatively large, and because I went to the world of Akame after that and haven't moved since.

Since the entire Southern Empire belongs to him anyway, money is just a number to him.

"Here are three hundred million Eris. Take them and use them first. If you need more, just ask Huihui to ask me for more!"

"Three hundred million—!"

5. Piao Sanlang tremblingly took the check from Mo Li's hand, rubbed his eyes, and stared at the number on it in disbelief. It really was three hundred million RMB.

Huihui frowned, snatched the check from Piaosanlang's hand, and threw it into Moli's hand.

"Father, didn't you teach me not to accept things from others casually?"

"Huihui, how can Mr. Mo Li be an outsider? I won't allow you to talk about your future husband like that!"

Chapter 335 Huihui and Moli's Indescribable Night

After scolding Huihui, Piao Sanlang then took Mo Li's hand and said with a smile:

"By the way, Mr. Mo Li, why don't you stay at my humble abode tonight? You are my daughter's companion and friend, so it would be only natural for you to stay. Since you are an adventurer, you probably don't have your own house!"

"No, no need. I have a castle on the eastern continent..."

"castle--!"

Huihui's parents' eyes shone as they crowded around, staring intently at Mo Li.

Mo Li suddenly felt like he might have said something wrong again; he really couldn't keep up with the Red Demon Clan's thought process.

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Piao Sanlang earnestly invited Mo Li to stay.

"Mr. Mo Li, I have many questions I'd like to ask you. Please stay here tonight!"

"No, I have many companions with me, so I won't trouble you..."

"No trouble at all, Mr. Mo Li, please stay here so that we can show you the hospitality of a host!"

Under Piao Sanlang's enthusiastic invitation, Mo Li had no choice but to nod in agreement.

He then used the mark to tell Yu-Yu and Tohka that they should stay at Yu-Yu's house for the time being and meet up again the next day.

Evening came quickly, and Darkness returned from grocery shopping.
