The Retired Hero is an Extra - Chapter 77 - : Dungeon Aftermath

Lu Xun was beheading demons and exterminating evil, not knowing what a worthy opponent was. On that day, Lu Xun found himself defenseless as he was beaten by a powerful female demon, unable to fight back, and was forced into marriage with a young demoness.“A real man should not dwell under the influence of demons for too long!”With impassioned words, Lu Xun successfully married into the demon clan.

Even among the famous sects there were rumours of his forbidden encounters with every sect leader…
