Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

Chapter 389: Less Sharpness, More Steady (Thanks to 'Username 28615511' for the tip)

Su Mu quickly prepared lunch.

Dongfang Guyue stepped into the living room and smelled the fragrance of the food on the table. He was slightly surprised that his son-in-law seemed to be a good cook.

Su Mu smiled and arranged for Dongfang Gu Yue to sit in the main seat, and then brought some good wine.

After everyone was seated, Dongfang Guyue said with a smile, "Eat."

When Dongfang Gu Yue started eating, everyone else also started eating.

Dongfang Guyue was quite curious about the food cooked by his son-in-law. In his opinion, for the sake of his daughter's face, even if the food cooked by Su Mu was not delicious, he would eat a few bites against his will so as not to embarrass him too much.

But it seems that the food cooked by Su Mu is not very bad.

Dongfang Gu Yue picked up the chopsticks and took two sips. His eyes lit up. Although it was not so delicious that it would make people forget everything, it still made Dongfang Gu Yue's eyes light up.

The chicken is mellow and delicious, the aroma almost fills your mouth, and the taste of the unknown seasoning makes you feel like your taste buds are exploding at that moment.

“Pretty good.”

Dongfang Guyue commented.

"As long as my father-in-law likes it."

Su Mu smiled and poured a glass of wine for Dongfang Gu Yue.

Dongfang Gu Yue picked up the wine and drank it, while also picking up some food and starting to eat.

…………

This was the first time that Su Mu and his father-in-law, the old man, sat together for dinner in harmony. Ever since the previous incident, the old man had always been quite dissatisfied with him. But after he married Dongfang Huaizhu, and Dongfang Huaizhu deliberately spoke well of him, the father-in-law's attitude gradually softened.

On weekdays, Su Mu didn't drink much, but he drank a lot during this meal.

No matter how many conflicts there are between men, a glass of wine can always solve many of them. Besides, he and Dongfang Guyue don’t have too many irreconcilable conflicts. Moreover, now that he has married Dongfang Huaizhu, they are considered a family. After drinking this wine, their relationship gradually becomes less rigid than before.

"I recently heard that the Wang Quan family's kid is heading to the border. Are you not going with them?"

While eating, Dongfang Gu Yue seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

A few days ago, his daughter married Su Mu, and the boy from the Wang Quan family stayed at Shenhuoshan Villa for a while. In Dongfang Guyue's opinion, it was very likely that he wanted to invite his son-in-law or daughter.

After all, he knew that the kid from Wang Quan's family had founded the 'Mask', which housed many geniuses from aristocratic families. Su Mu had a strong talent for swordsmanship, so it was natural for him to be invited by the kid from Wang Quan's family.

"Young Master Wang Quan did invite me, but I declined."

Su Mu spoke.

"Oh!"

Dongfang Guyue was surprised. "From what I know, those invited by that kid from the Wang Quan family are all extraordinary. They are almost all genius disciples from the Dao Alliance families. Few would refuse. Besides, revealing the truth about the world and exploring its true secrets is exactly what you young people love most..."

Su Mu smiled and said, "Young Master Wang Quan wants to go to the 'outside the circle'. I feel it is too dangerous and I don't like it. Besides, compared to visiting the 'outside the circle', I still prefer to stay at home and spend more time with Huai Zhu."

As he spoke, his eyes turned gently towards Dongfang Huaizhu.

Dongfang Huaizhu blushed slightly and lowered her head.

Dongfang Gu Yue looked at this scene and picked up the wine glass and took a sip with a smile. Now, seeing his daughter happy, and this son-in-law was not as arrogant as the boy from Wang Quan's family, it made him quite happy in his heart. He felt that this son-in-law was quite stable.

If there is any flaw, it is probably the lack of some youthful vigor.

But in fact, being less sharp is not a flaw.

He couldn't help but think of himself when he was young. He was also full of vigor and arrogance. At that time, he was obsessed with establishing the Shenhuoshan Villa to let those old guys from the Eastern Spirit Clan take a good look. Even if he left the East, he, Dongfang Gu Yue, could still achieve great achievements, and even not lose to the East.

At that time, he was always moving around, not afraid of any danger. Although he eventually managed the Shenhuoshan Villa successfully and became the leader of the Taoist Alliance, entering the top of the world, he also neglected to take care of Huaizhu's mother, causing his wife to pass away prematurely. Whenever he thought of this, he always felt a little regretful. If he had been less sharp, more steady, and cared more about his wife, perhaps... there would be a different result.

Shaking his head, Dongfang Guyue suppressed his inner thoughts. As he got older, he could not help but recall the past. He picked up the wine glass and raised it to his son-in-law:

"Pretty good."

Su Mu also hurriedly picked up the wine glass, filled it up for himself, and drank a glass with his father-in-law.

"What do you think of the kid from the Wang Quan family? I'm thinking of going outside the circle one day."

Hearing his father-in-law ask these questions, Su Mu also thought seriously and said: "As for Young Master Wang Quan, my opinion is that it is still early. As for visiting the 'outside circle' and seeing the truth of the world, we will always go there in the future."

"Oh!"

Dongfang Gu Yue was also curious. When he saw his son-in-law rejected the boy from Wang Quan's family, he thought that his son-in-law had no interest in the so-called "outside the circle", but now it seems that it is not the case.

"From Senior Tianmen, I also learned some news about the 'Outside Circle'. I know that some people from the Dao Alliance have gone there, but up to now, no one has returned. This shows how dangerous it is. If I were to go there, I would always be fully prepared and ensure that I could retreat safely. I would never be as careless as Young Master Wang Quan."

Dongfang Gu Yue nodded, thinking that this was a sign of maturity and prudentness from his son-in-law. The boy from the Wang Quan family was still too young and too arrogant, meaning he had never really encountered setbacks.

After briefly chatting about the kid from Wang Quan's family, Dongfang Guyue suddenly spoke:

"The leech demon girl who treated me last time was quite good at medicine. I wonder where she is? She cured my illness, and I want to thank her."

"Miss Xiao Tan returned home shortly after seeing her father-in-law. She should be in Tushan now, or in her ancestral home."

Su Mu also spoke.

"It's a pity."

Dongfang Gu Yue sighed slightly. At the beginning, he was very wary of monsters. If it weren't for his daughter's persuasion, he wouldn't even let a monster treat him.

Even when that little leech demon treated him, he didn't treat it very well. Now he thinks that it was only doing it for the sake of his son-in-law, otherwise it probably wouldn't have treated him.

To be honest, it’s a bit hard to justify.

"I never thought that Miss Tan's medical skills were so good."

Dongfang Gu Yue sighed. When he first fell ill, he had received treatment from many medical masters, but no one could understand his condition. He never expected that a monster could see through his condition and even cured him.

Even now, I still feel a little sad.
