Married to the One Who Is Not Human

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Demon Ghosts Are Heartless



At the beginning of April, Ji Fish set off for the Qing Yu Chen family.

 Accompanying him were the Ji family's disciples, Red Image and Ji Bu Huan, as well as a group of members of the Demon Suppression Division led by Jiang Ruiqiu.

 The crowd was not surprised by this.

 Jiang Ruqiu was the son-in-law of the Ji Family, and had stayed with the Ji Family for the sake of Ji Fish, and since Ji Fish was going to the Qing Yu Chen Family to celebrate his birthday, he definitely had to go along as well.

 The court side, in order to show the importance of the Chen family, specially sent Qin Du to go to the Chen family to celebrate their birthday, and at this moment, Jiang Ruqiu was going to accompany Ji fish, so Qin Du directly brought the congratulatory gifts for the Chen family and traveled with the Ji family.

 The night before departure, Ji Yu went to say goodbye to her grandmother.

 Elder Taijun Ji admonished, "Going out is not as comfortable as being at home, take good care of your body, if there's anything you can discuss with Lord Jiang, you don't have to carry it on your own."

 Hearing this, Ji Yu looks at her with some surprise.

 Although her grandmother was concerned about her health in the past, she always told her that as the young master of the Ji family, she needed to take on the responsibilities of a young master, so that while she took care of her body, she could not forget her own responsibilities.

 Now that she heard this again, she was putting her body first, telling her that she didn't have to carry everything.

 Where did Elder Taijun Ji not know what she was thinking, she sighed and said, "You are the young master of the Ji family, you should be in your position and work on your politics. It's just that ..."

 A few complicated colors appeared in her eyes.

 In the past, she had indeed taught her granddaughter this way, and had not prevented her from doing anything because of her poor health. The young master of the Ji family, even if he was a waste in the eyes of outsiders, could not back down from the responsibilities he needed to take on.

 However, from the moment her granddaughter returned with her "son-in-law", Elder Taijun Ji realized that many things had changed.

 Her granddaughter is now under the protection of a powerful and terrifying demon, and her fortune and misfortune are hard to predict.

 Things have come to this point, she doesn't want her granddaughter to live a life of too much pain, while she is still alive, so that she can take it easy, or at least not regret it too much if she is unfortunate enough to be revolted in the future.

 Ji Yu was stunned, about somewhat understanding her grandmother's scruples.

 Regarding her marriage to Jiang Ruiqiu, in fact, her grandmother had always held a certain pessimistic mindset in her heart.

 Since ancient times, people and demons have different paths, between people and demons, how can it last? It might even be possible that one day, she would die in the hands of her husband who was a demonic evil and go up in smoke.

 People have love, demonic ghosts have no love, never heard of demonic evils falling in love with humans.

 Ji Yu looked squarely at her grandmother and asked, "Grandmother, what's going on with my marriage to Jiang Ruqiu?"

 Last time, with Jiang Ruqiu around, it wasn't easy to ask, but now that it's only the grandchildren, Ji Yu can't help himself a bit.

 Elder Taijun Ji didn't answer, she reached out to her granddaughter and adjusted the somewhat crooked jade hairpin on her bun, a little warmth rarely surfaced on her solemn face.

 At this moment, she was not the head of the Ji family, but a grandmother who loved her granddaughter.

 She said, "Ah Yu, I can't tell you now, knowing too much won't do you any good."

 "Why?" Ji Yu was really puzzled, "Could it be related to the curse of the Ji family?"

 Elder Taijun Ji's gaze slightly condensed, "You know about the curse?"

 Ji Yu nodded her head and told her about the water ghost she encountered on the night of her return trip.

 In fact, even if there was no water ghost, she still suspected it in her heart, ever since she was a child, the intense care that her grandmother and Aunt Gui and the others had given her, as well as certain actions, all spoke for themselves.

 In the past, she didn't think about it because she was afraid that her body couldn't make it through, maybe she would leave at some point, so why cause them grief? Now ... although her body is still weak and frail, at least there is some turnaround.

 Ji Lao Taijun sighed in her heart and said gently, "A fish, you will know in the future."

 Ji Yu raised her eyes and looked at her grandmother for half a second, but in the end, she no longer pursued the question.

 Although she didn't know why she couldn't tell her, but she knew that her grandmother's move was for her own good, she has never been a calm person, and there was no hurry to ask.

 After speaking with her grandmother for a while longer, Ji Yu got up to leave and said towards her, "Grandmother, it's late at night, you rest, no need to see me off."

 Elder Taijun Ji stood in the doorway, smiled at her granddaughter, and was about to say something when she saw the man who came stepping in the moonlight.

 The new moon was like a string, hanging in the night sky, quiet and mysterious.

 The man's red clothes flopped, like an elfin demon that waded into the moon, demonic beauty unbridled.

 Almost let a person dare not look directly.

 Ji fish turned her head, when she saw the visitor, the pair of light eyes overflowed with a warm and soft smile, warmly asked, "Why did you come?"

 Jiang Ruiqiu steps forward to take her hand, and after greeting Elder Taijun Ji, he says, "It's too late in the day, I'm worried about my wife, so I came over to take you back."

 Ji Yu said seriously, "The Ji family is safe, there's no need to worry."

 This was the place she grew up in, every corner was familiar to her, and she didn't feel that there was anywhere in the Ji family that wasn't safe.

 Jiang Ruiqiu was choked and complained in a low voice, "Mother, you're so unemotional."

 At times like this, shouldn't she be touched?

 Those earthly words were indeed all lies, who said that a girl would directly throw herself into the arms of her Lang Jun because she was afraid of walking at night? His maiden was not afraid at all, nor did she have the intention to throw herself into his arms.

 Tomorrow, I'd better ask Qin Du to get more normal books for him.

 Ji Yu was a little uncomfortable, afraid that he would talk nonsense in front of his grandmother, said goodbye to her and hurriedly pulled him away.

 Elder Taijun Ji looked at the young man and woman who were talking in low voices as they walked under the moonlight, and the look on her face gradually loosened in bewilderment.

 No matter how many times she watched it, she couldn't get used to this scene and only felt that it was heavenly.

 When she passed the lake in front of Maundy Thursday, Jiang Ruqiu suddenly stopped.

 "Jiang Ruqiu?" Ji Yu looked at him in puzzlement.

 Jiang Ruqiu pointed at the lake and said, "Maiden, when was this lake dug?"

 Ji fish thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, it seems that the Ji family has had it since they settled in Wushan City." She asked again, "What happened?"

 Jiang Ruiqiu retracted his eyes and continued on with her hand, saying, "There's something at the bottom of the lake."

 Ji Yu was stunned and said frankly, "There is a demon bone buried under the lake."

 This was a secret of the Ji Clan, only the Ji Clan heirlooms knew about it, and it shouldn't have been revealed casually, but Ji fish knew deep down that even if he didn't say anything, Jiang Ruiqiu would definitely know about it.

 As early as the first day he entered the Ji Clan, he should have sensed it.

 The two of them didn't say anything about the demonic bone at the bottom of the lake, they didn't even ask what kind of demonic bone it was, and after returning to the Maundy Thursday courtyard, they went to bed and rested after a little bit of washing.

 As they were leaving tomorrow, Ji Yu quickly fell asleep.

 This night, she dreamed again.

 The darkness of the sky descended, shrouded the four fields, she walked on the banks of the river, near her feet were clusters of blossoming flowers of flame, meandering forward, seemingly embellished in the dark and cold world of fire, beautiful and colorful, but also demonic and unspeakable.

 Ji fish stood by the river, looking at the bridge not far away.

 The bridge is quiet, there is no memory of the figure.

 I do not know why, the heart rises a sense of disappointment, perhaps from childhood to get used to the existence of "He", she never knew that one day "He" will disappear from the dream, never to see.

 **The next day, Ji Yu was in good spirits.

 The next day, Ji Yu was not in good spirits.

 Jiang Ruiqiu reaches out and puts his hand on her forehead, the temperature is normal, there is no fever, he asks suspiciously, "Fish, is somewhere uncomfortable?"

 Ji Yu shook her head, "Nothing, just didn't sleep well last night."

 Didn't sleep well?

 Jiang Ruiqiu slightly wrinkled his eyebrows, thinking that she suffered from the corpse poison, and might have been in severe pain, so Fang didn't sleep well.

 At this time, the maid brought over the decocted medicine.

 Without changing her color, Ji Yu drank it all in one go, and was about to take a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, when someone had already done it for her.

 He cupped her chin, holding a plain handkerchief, carefully wiping away some of the medicine left on her lips, while saying compassionately, "Your wife has suffered."

 Ji fish lips slightly hooked, warm voice: "Which has what bitter or not bitter, not all is that flavor."

 Since she was a child, she was used to drinking it, her taste buds were used to that weird flavor, and she didn't find it that hard to drink.

 Jiang Ruiqiu was surprised, "Doesn't mama think it's bitter?"

 Ji Yu: "... It's okay." Although getting used to it doesn't mean that this medicine isn't bitter.

 Seeing him feeding himself candied fruit again, showing that expression of her suffering, Ji Yu is speechless for a moment, and decisively changes the topic, "It's almost time, let's set off."

 The two of them went to pay their respects to Elder Taijun Ji before boarding the carriage and leaving.

 The disciples of the Ji family and the members of the Demon Suppression Division all rode along, and the group left Wushan City in great numbers.

 Wushan City was a large city in the southwest, with countless vehicles and pedestrians coming in and out every day.

 At this time, there were quite a few merchants from all over the world waiting at the entrance ready to enter the city, and when they saw a group of Demon Masters clustering a carriage out of the city, they were all a bit curious.

 They all asked, "Who is in the carriage? Why do you need so many Demon Remover Masters to escort you?"

 It was the guards guarding the city who answered, only to hear them say, "This is the carriage of the Ji Family, and the one in the carriage should be Young Master Ji, I heard that the birthday of the old master of the Chen Family of Qing Yu is coming up, and the Ji Family sent Young Master Ji to go and celebrate his birthday."

 The crowd was stunned, "Young Master Ji is inside? Why is he escorted by someone from the court's Demon Suppression Division?"

 The Demon Removers affiliated with the Imperial Court's Demon Suppression Division were easily recognizable, one only needed to look at the uniforms and strangling swords they wore.

 "Because this time, those who are going to the Qing Yu Chen family, there is also Lord Jiang, the Commanding Envoy of the Imperial City's Demon Suppression Division... Lord Jiang and Young Master Ji are husband and wife, shouldn't the two of them be traveling together?"

 What's so strange about this?

 There must be not only Young Master Ji, but also Lord Jiang in the carriage, isn't it proper for someone from the Demon Suppression Division to travel together?

 Upon hearing this, those merchants who had traveled from afar finally understood.

 No wonder the Demon Suppression Division had sent out so many people, so it was because the Demon Suppression Division Commander was also there.

 Someone lamented, "I thought the Ji Family was going downhill, but now that such a son-in-law is here, who would dare to underestimate the Ji Family?"

 "Yes, Lord Jiang isn't the sinful slave Shang Yunxiao from back then, he's a court official with real power."

 The weight of the commander of the Imperial City Demon Suppression Division is not light, the world has to give a few thin face, as long as the Ji family survived the difficult times, the Ji family wants to restore the previous Ding Sheng since it is not a matter of time.

 Quite a few people present listened and looked at the speaker with a very gentle gaze.

 They were all from the area of Wushu Mountain, and were favored by the Ji Family, so they naturally hoped that the Ji Family would last for a long time.

 The Ji family is a family of demon eliminators, with the mission of subduing demons and eliminating devils, with a heart for the people, being kind and charitable, establishing a nursery, adopting orphans, and sheltering a side of the people.... In the hearts of the people around the area of Wushui Mountain, the Ji family has a very high prestige, and is beloved by them.

 In the carriage, Ji Yu put the glazed bottle containing the fathead fish on the table, and a flower basket.

 The flowers in the basket were picked by Jiang Ruiqiu early this morning in the mountains, colorful and vibrant, made into a flower basket, placed on the table, adding a lot of wild fun.

 The fathead fish in the glazed bottle salivated at the flowers, but did not dare to steal food, but only from time to time with those bubble eyes to look at a few eyes to quench their appetites.

 Seasonal fish will pick up the basket of flowers and look at it, and then look at the fat fish, and then take a few petals of flowers into the glazed bottle.

 Watching the fat-headed fish wagging its little tail and swallowing happily, a smile appeared in her eyes, her eyebrows arched, and her pale face was rarely a little angry.

 Seeing this, Jiang Ruiqiu said, "If you like it, I'll catch a few more for you to play with some other day." Of course not those mortal fish, opened the spirit of the fish demon can give his mother to relieve boredom.

 The fat-headed fish that was nibbling on the flower petals wagged its tail more happily.

 It can have a few more unlucky ones, it likes it.

 Ji Yu shook her head, "No need, having this fish is enough."

 Although her name has fish in it, she doesn't really like to keep fish, but it's because this fat head fish is the first gift he gave her to relieve her boredom that she will keep it all the time.

 Demon removers subdued demons and eliminated devils, and saw too many tragic incidents of demonic creatures plaguing the people, and rarely would they like to keep any demonic creatures.

 The fat-headed fish, however, was disappointed.

 In fact, it is also very regrettable, if you know that there is such a terrible master on the boat town, that day will not be greedy want to eat her, the result in turn become a prisoner for the entertainment of the demon masters, there is no more unlucky demon than it.

 **

 The Chen Family was located along the southeastern coast, and the Qing Yu City near the sea was the Chen Family's territory.

 Green Feather City was built along the coast, because sometimes a green feathered bird flew from the sea and inhabited the city, the world called it the Green Luan, and its feather was the symbol of the Chen family.

 The Chen Family's position in Green Feather City was equivalent to the Ji Family's position in Wushan City.

 Because of the Chen family's old master's birthday is coming, Qing Yu City has been very lively, one after another from all over the power to bring congratulatory gifts, the city's various stores are also for the Chen family's old master's birthday celebrations, a variety of discounts to engage in the full swing of the activities.

 As the sun set, a group of people slowly came from outside the city.

 It was already late in the day, yet there was still a steady stream of people entering the city, waiting outside the city gates and lining up to enter the city.

 The guards guarding the city were checking the people entering the city, when they caught a glimpse of a group of people appearing in front of them, escorting a carriage slowly.

 When he saw clearly the clothes and swords of the guards accompanying them, the guards were shocked.

 Those were the uniforms of the court's Demon Suppression Division.

 The guards guarding the city hurriedly went to report.

 In just a few moments, a captain of the guards was seen hurriedly welcoming them over with an attitude that could be described as respectful.

 Those waiting in line to enter the city looked around suspiciously, and many of them were similarly surprised to recognize the people from the Pilgrimage Demon Suppression Division.

 When did the members of the court's Demon Suppression Division change their jobs to become guards for people?

 Which person had such a big frame of mind that he could actually make the court's Demon Suppressor Division give him or her an escort.

 It just so happened that another group of people came riding their horses in the distance, dust flying.

 Seeing the green feathers they wore on their bodies, the crowd knew that they were the Chen Family's disciples, and they all stepped aside to avoid them.

 Green Feather City was the territory of the Chen Family, and the Chen Family disciples did not need to queue up to enter the city, they could just enter the city directly.

 The group of Chen Family disciples who were preparing to enter the city suddenly stopped when they passed by the carriage waiting in front of the city gate, the young man in the lead stared at the slanting hooked jade symbol on the carriage, and then his gaze fell onto the personnel of the Demon Suppression Division escorting the carriage, and he suddenly snorted out a laugh.

 "When did the Imperial Court's Demon Suppression Division fall to the point of giving people escorts?"

 Hearing these words filled with sarcasm, the people present instantly fell silent.

 They looked at the young man who had opened his mouth to speak, and after recognizing that it was the Chen Family's ninth son, Chen Qingchou, they were not surprised.

 Chen Qingchu's position in the Chen Family was rather special, he was Old Master Chen's favorite grandson, so he had inevitably developed a prideful nature and acted ostentatiously, never needing to worry about anything.

 Qin Du arrogantly glanced at him and sneered back, "Where did you come from brat, gabbling, didn't your elders teach you what etiquette is?"

 Chen Qing Rut was instantly furious, he now hated it when bystanders lectured him about his lack of etiquette.

 The last time he was taunted by Ji Yu at the Crescent Moon Villa, calling him an animal, he held a grudge to this day.

 "Unbridled! Who are you!" Chen Qingchao said angrily, "Do you know who I am?"

 Qin Du was surprised and said, "You yourself don't even know who you yourself are, how would I know who you are? Okay, brat, get out of the way, we still have to enter the city."

 To say that Chen Qing Rut was arrogant, Qin Du was even more arrogant than him.

 Qing Yu Chen family is indeed a party of power, but Yunjing Qin family is not bad either, not to mention that he is now representing the imperial court's Demon Suppression Division, what is there to fear?

 Even if the Chen family's old master came, it was not reasonable!

 Chen Qing Rut was on fire, since childhood, except for the setback at Ji Fish, it had always been smooth and easy, everyone gave in to him, this was the second person to make him suffer.

 Just not waiting for him to strike out to teach him a lesson, immediately a Chen Clan disciple stopped him.

 "Ninth Prince, this is Qin Du from the Demon Suppression Division."

 Chen Qing Rut froze, suspiciously measuring Qin Du's baby face that looked 17 or 18 years old, intuitively disbelieving, "This little child whose hair hasn't even grown ... long."

 He had heard that Qin Du had already been more than twenty this year, not a teenage boy, it can't be a lie, right?

 Crowd: "..."

 Qin Du snorted and disliked: "Little brat, are you talking about yourself?"

 He still wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, when a low and nice voice rang out from the carriage, "Qin Du."

 When Qin Du heard this, he immediately collected the look on his face and said towards the captain of the guards who welcomed him out, "Alright, when can we enter the city?"

 The captain of the guards glanced at Chen Qingru's shocked and furious face, and after weighing it for a moment, he decisively stepped back to allow them to enter the city.

 Compared to the Ninth Prince, the Commander of the Demon Suppression Division and the Young Lord of the Ji Family carried more weight and could not be offended, at least this time, it was the Ninth Prince who was not in charge, so he thought that the Chen Family should not blame themselves.

 The carriage moved forward again.

 From the beginning to the end, the people in the carriage did not make a sound, and even more so, they did not have the intention to come down and greet the Chen family, extremely high and cold.

 The Ji Family disciples who accompanied the carriage were similarly so, their faces cold, ignoring the group of Chen Family disciples.

 This action in the eyes of the crowd, inevitably feel that the Ji family is too arrogant, but think of the matter just now, really is the ninth son of Chen Qingchu provocation in the first, but can not be blamed for all of them so.

 The surrounding people even more atmosphere do not dare to breathe a bit, worried about being lost face of the ninth son of anger.

 Watching the Ji family's carriage enter the city, Chen Qingchou was so angry that he broke the green feather in his hand.

 "Ninth Duke ..." The captain of the guards guarding the city came over stiffly.

 Chen QingChe turned his head to stare at him, his eyes extremely terrifying, then a horse whip came over, knocking him over on the ground and steering his horse away.

 When that line of people left, the captain of the guards was helped up by the guards.

 "Are you alright?" The person holding him up asked nervously, cringing a little when he saw his skinned and cracked shoulder.

 The captain of the guards grimaced in pain, but his mouth said, "It's fine, it's fine, I hope that the Ninth Prince's smacking me will take the edge off, so that he won't find me in trouble in the future."

 Although he said this, the guard captain did not hold much hope.

 He cursed in his heart, this day is really unlucky, who knew that he would meet the Ninth Prince who entered the city? If he had known, he would have switched shifts with someone else.

 However, he was not surprised that the Ninth Prince would be so grumpy for the day, opening his mouth to offend the people of the Demon Suppression Division.

 I heard that the Ninth Prince and the young master of the Ji family from Wushu Mountain are half-siblings, and the Ninth Prince has expressed his dislike for the young master of the Ji family many times in public, so it's normal for the Ninth Prince to react this way when he meets them today.
