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

"Yes, I know~"

Dongfang Haoyang gently rubbed Ya Ya's head, and the two of them sat down on the grassy lawn, making two small cradles. They looked at the starry night sky and snuggled together.

"You bad boy, if I had known I was going to give you that, I would have made you say those things..." Ya Ya said softly, gently nudging Hao Yang's chest with her little head, like a little calf being led into the tiger's mouth. Then, Ya Ya's extremely beautiful little face was gently cupped, and Hao Yang pecked her tempting pink lips.

"Hmph, you lecherous cockroach, all you do is take advantage of me..."

Tu Shan Ya Ya replied with a slightly flushed face.

"You took advantage of me, so you have to avenge me!"

"Oh, you mean the beginning of the month? I was just joking, there's no need for that, right?"

"Are you going to help me or not?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya hugged Hao Yang tightly. With her height advantage of 1.9 meters, Ya Ya pressed Hao Yang's face into her arms.

Feeling that warm and soft touch, Dongfang Haoyang's face flushed slightly, but he was not the kind of person who would betray his own brother for the sake of beauty.

"Ya'er, stop making a fuss." Dongfang Haoyang pulled his face away from Ya Ya's embrace, helplessly placing his hand on Ya Ya's head, who looked unwilling, and giving her a gentle head pat.

"Hmph, I knew you'd think that way. But I'm going to get my revenge, so don't you dare interfere!"

Haoyang knew that Ya Ya was just saying that, but she wouldn't actually do anything to Yuechu. At most, she would hang Yuechu up and beat her, and kick her a few times, which wouldn't do much harm to the thick-skinned Yuechu.

It was even lighter than when I played at the beginning of the month.

"Okay, I promise you."

The human and the demon looked at each other and smiled. They admired the crescent moon under the night sky for a while, then held hands and decided to go back to Honghong and Rongrong.

But when they returned to the Bitter Love Tree, they only saw Rongrong smiling and waiting under the tree.

"Huh?! Rongrong, where are Sister Dead Cockroach and Kong Qing?!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya looked at Rong Rong with a puzzled expression.

"It's too late, my sisters have gone home."

"Ugh, I haven't even gotten my revenge yet! That damn cockroach!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya stomped her feet angrily and sat down under the Bitter Love Tree with her arms crossed.

Tu Shan Rongrong smiled faintly and exchanged a glance with her helpless husband beside her before speaking.

"When Sister Honghong left just now, she specifically left a message for you, my husband."

"What?!" Dongfang Haoyang gently took Rongrong's hand, looking puzzled.

"What did you say?"

Tu Shan Rongrong pursed her lips. "Hmm, it seems to be about your tribulation, my husband."

Dongfang Haoyang narrowed his eyes slightly, placing his hand on his chin and gently stroking it. He was somewhat puzzled as to why it was about his tribulation...

Aside from Rong'er and Ya'er, almost no one in the Dao Alliance or the Demon Alliance knew that he was about to undergo tribulation. So how did Hong Hong find out that he was in seclusion to undergo tribulation...?

"Sister Honghong said that at the beginning of the month, she's been having the same dream, in which her younger brother, Yuechu, meets a fortune teller..."

Dongfang Haoyang was slightly taken aback, and his eyes became sharp and serious. He no longer looked like he was joking, but rather had a serious expression.

He gently stroked her chin with his hand, then looked at Rongrong, who seemed unsure how to begin, and said somewhat seriously.

"Hmm... Rongrong, please continue..."

As Tu Shan Rongrong spoke, she clenched her little hands slightly and looked at Haoyang, her eyes filled with seriousness and determination.

She knew that the fortune teller had never been wrong in his calculations. Although he had been dead for many years, this was not the first time he had appeared in Yuechu's dream, and it was by no means a coincidence.

"Sister Honghong told me that at the beginning of the month, in my younger brother's dream, the fortune teller kept repeating the words 'crossing tribulation,' which kept him up at night..."

"Transcending tribulation..." Dongfang Haoyang was slightly astonished. He had to admire the diviner. He was clearly a mortal with no cultivation, yet he was able to foresee this heavenly secret that even he could not see.

"Is that so? It seems my preparations weren't enough..."

"Hmm...I understand...Rongrong, thank you."

After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Haoyang seemed to have found some loophole. His gaze towards Rongrong gradually softened. He smiled faintly and gently ruffled Rongrong's emerald green hair.

If this word is being emphasized repeatedly, then there is only one world that can threaten me...

"You've really been a great help, Rongrong."

"Huh? Husband, have you thought of something? Could it be that there's really something behind your tribulation...?"

Dongfang Haoyang gently touched Rongrong's lips with his finger and smiled faintly.

"It's a secret that can't be revealed, but I'll have to thank him properly afterward."

Haoyang also remembered that the fortune teller had predicted his marriage last time, and he hadn't burned paper money for him yet. But there was no rush. He could burn paper money for him in person to express his gratitude after he had crushed the conspiracy against him.

Oh, and those two bets...

"Oh? Husband, you..."

Having instantly understood everything, Dongfang Haoyang smiled faintly at Rongrong, looked up at the brilliant stars in the night sky, his lips slightly drooping in a very calm manner. For some reason, when he looked up at the starry sky again, the light in his eyes was gone.

All living beings on earth should not be controlled by anyone, much less be sacrificed to anything...

"Rongrong, let's go back. We'll be busy for a while..."

"My husband..."

Looking at the smile on Haoyang's face, Tu Shan Rongrong felt a little nervous. She was still too weak. With her talent, reaching the Transformation Realm was the limit. If she continued to cultivate, it would be very slow, and she would reach the limit of her talent.

"Rongrong, there's no need to look like that. I know you've always done your best to help me, and I feel really lucky and happy about that."

"Thank you, Rongrong~"

"This time, it really helped a lot!"

With a smile and deep affection in his eyes, Dongfang Haoyang gently kissed Tu Shan Rongrong's lovely face.

Tu Shan Rongrong's heart was beating a little fast, her face flushed slightly, and she gripped Haoyang's hand even tighter.

She looked at the humble boy with the ahoge (cowlick). To be honest, his appearance was a miracle in itself. Rongrong had witnessed all the hardships he had overcome to achieve that almost impossible goal, his growth, his amazing abilities and vision, and the peaceful and prosperous world between humans and demons that he had created.

"I don't feel like I've helped you much, Haoyang..."

"But you idiot, you've been saving us all along, saving Rongrong and her sisters, and this world..."

The girl's slender figure, bathed in silvery light under the night sky, was so beautiful. A cool breeze carried the pink petals of the bitter love tree, ruffling the girl's emerald green hair, but it could not extinguish the girl's already burning heart, nor the gentle gaze she gave the boy, which contained a variety of emotions.

"With you by my side, Rongrong is truly, truly happy... So, my husband, you can rely on Rongrong a little more now~"

Looking at Rongrong, who was showing off her stunning CG with her hands behind her back, Dongfang Haoyang was slightly stunned. Rongrong's cuteness had long surpassed a 3S rating in his heart, and it seemed that it would be increased by a few more.

"Then please continue to guide me, my lady."

"Okay, you silly husband."
