Chapter 418: With a Wife Like This, What More Could a Husband Want
In the end, the conclusion was reached: the Demon Clan army would set out for Buzhishan in three days.
After the meeting, the leaders of various tribes returned to their own groups to make preparations.
The young vanguard team led by Young Master Sang had to arrive at Buzhishan within three days, clear the way, and gather intelligence.
Since he was already disinterested in this task, Sang Zhe decided to become a hands-off manager and just vaguely assigned some tasks to the young Demons before brushing it off.
What bothered him most now was how to explain to Long Huan about the move.
So, in the evening at home, while having dinner, Sang Zhe suddenly spoke up:
“Mom. Our school… is relocating.”
Long Huan looked up, slightly bewildered.
“Oh dear, that’s troublesome. Is it far?”
“Very far… so far that we need to move our home too.”
“Oh dear, then I need to prepare some things in advance.”
With that, Long Huan put down her chopsticks, turned around, and started packing while murmuring, “I wonder if the new place is cold; I should get Zhe Er some thicker clothes.”
“No need to trouble yourself, Mom. I’ll take care of it—”
“Here, try this one on.”
Long Huan rummaged through the wardrobe and pulled out one of Sang Zhe’s outfits, then excitedly walked up to him.
Sang Zhe suddenly realized that this outfit was bought for him by Zhang Xiaoying.
“Put it on so I can see if it fits.”
Sang Zhe hesitated, and Long Huan looked confused for a moment before suddenly realizing and giggling:
“What’s wrong? Are you too shy to change in front of your mom?”
“Oh come on, what’s the big deal? It’s not like you’ve never seen it.”
As she spoke, Long Huan took matters into her own hands and began to undress Sang Zhe.
“Wait… wait, I’ll do it myself!”
With no choice, Sang Zhe reluctantly took off his shirt in front of Long Huan, revealing his bare torso.
Seeing Sang Zhe’s masculine physique, Long Huan instinctively blushed, then covered her mouth lightly with a smile:
“Zhe Er has grown up well. Even I feel a bit moved.”
“If Mom were a young girl, she would definitely be completely smitten by Zhe Er.”
… Setting aside age for a moment, you really are a young girl. Sang Zhe silently criticized in his mind.
“Ah, but it really is true.”
After helping Sang Zhe dress, Long Huan looked a bit wistful while adjusting his outfit: “Zhe Er’s of age now, it’s time to settle down.”
“You really should start being more mindful about these things.”
Sang Zhe froze up instantly.
But this is the Demon Clan. Even if Long Huan could find women, they would surely all be Demons.
Just thinking about that hairy gorilla of a mother, Mama, made Sang Zhe shudder and shake his head repeatedly.
“No, no, I’m good with just you, Mom.”
“Oh dear, Zhe Er’s got such sweet words.”
Long Huan teased Sang Zhe playfully, then lightly stood on her tiptoes and awkwardly reached up, gently touching Sang Zhe’s face with her small hand.
“Although I’ll miss you, Zhe Er is so much taller than me now.”
“I can only rest easy when I see Zhe Er settle down.”
Sang Zhe’s lips twitched as he bitterly agreed.
… He was gradually getting used to Long Huan’s outrageous behavior.
After all, it was all for the sake of healing; Nian Nian had promised that her illness would be cured.
He just needed to endure until then.
Whenever he thought this, Sang Zhe would force himself to stay calm and continue playing the role of a dutiful mama’s boy.
“Mom, I’ve already contacted the movers. They’ll come to take you to the new home tomorrow.”
“Is that so? Zhe Er, you’re not going with me?”
“Ah… I still have to help at school. There’s a bunch of stuff that needs moving there too.”
“I see.”
Long Huan looked slightly disappointed, her gaze dropping as she sighed, “So, does that mean I won’t see you at all tomorrow?”
“Sigh, is Mom getting older? Why are you getting more sentimental?”
“No. You’re just simply bored out of your mind.”
After trying on a few outfits with Long Huan, Sang Zhe found an excuse to escape her. “Mom, I’m going to take a bath now.”
“This time, you’re not allowed to come in!”
“I know, geez, I’m a grown man and all you do is shy away and complain about your mom.”
Long Huan shot him a slightly resentful look with her damp eyes, but Sang Zhe ignored it and quickly bolted into the bathroom, sealing the door.
Once in the tub, he finally had some time to bring out the communication device.
“… Confirmed. In three days, the Demon Clan army will move towards Buzhishan.”
“Three days…” On the other end of the device, Tang Yubbing’s expression also looked worried as she murmured, “The Demon Clan is coming in full force; we must prepare for the worst.”
“Have Gu Jie and the others set off yet?”
“After receiving the message yesterday, Sect Leader Gu had already chosen a group of Sword Flower Palace disciples to head to Buzhishan with her.”
Tang Yubbing mentioned, “And from the Holy Kingdom, the Empress replied that the Tianlang Wei could be expected to array themselves at Buzhishan within two days. Grand Eunuch Qin will be accompanying the team.”
“What about our Demon Cult?”
“The Sect Leader has already set off with Xu Sishou; most of the Heavenly Punishment Department’s staff have been taken away, with Shi Qingyan and Meng Qiyan leading their respective teams.”
“They should be able to prepare at Buzhishan before the Demon Clan’s arrival,” Tang Yubbing sighed softly.
“Four Great Ascendant Realms and over ten Crossing Tribulation Stage cultivators…”
“The entire Human Clan hasn’t mobilized like this in many years.”
Sang Zhe fell into silence.
“But you don’t need to worry too much.”
Tang Yubbing gently comforted, “What is fortune will not be misfortune; what is misfortune cannot be avoided.”
“No matter whether you can stop the Demon Clan or not, we will face it together with you.”
“And you don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself. You’ve done a great job already.”
After a moment of silence, Sang Zhe spoke again: “What about Little Ying? Isn’t she home today?”
“Didn’t you message earlier saying you wanted us to prepare some people to accompany the Demon Clan’s Little Princess in acting?”
Tang Yubbing blinked, “Little Ying has personally gone to Buzhishan.”
Personal visit? Sang Zhe was stunned.
“She just needed a few people to pretend to be a moving team. Why did Little Ying come in person?”
“She’s worried about you,” Tang Yubbing said with a light smile, “You have to juggle between dealing with the Demon Clan and accompanying the Little Princess in acting; it’s too much to handle.”
“Little Ying wanted to help ease some of the pressure by personally stepping in.”
Little Ying really is… Sang Zhe felt a mix of helplessness and warmth inside.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband want?
“So, who did she bring with her? Just some random staff from the Demon Cult?”
“No. She brought Yan Rouwan and Miss Shui Ming with her.”
Sang Zhe: ?
In that moment, Sang Zhe suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
