Chapter 108

I wonder what will happen this time...

Lu Xuanzhi looked up at Ling Wu's back, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Then, without saying a word, he turned around with his sword, leaving behind only a trace of his coldness.

Sensing the disappearance of Lu Xuanzhi's aura, Ling Wu's expression remained unchanged; she simply looked up at the night sky filled with twinkling stars.

The reason, under the moonlight that is almost daytime, will one day be revealed to her.

"Thank you so much, Miss Gu, for saving my life. I have no way to repay you..."

Luo Suyi frowned slightly, her eyes filled with pain, yet she still gave Ling Wu a delicate bow as she approached gracefully.

Yueying suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at Lingwu and interrupted her:

"Xiaobai and I were the ones who were with you the whole time, okay? What have you done to repay Miss Gu? And why did you pretend to faint?"

Yueying gritted her teeth, "You just said it yourself, that you carried the eight-foot-tall Lu Xuanzhi up the mountain step by step all by yourself back then!"

Yueying, afraid that Lingwu wouldn't see through her act, added at the end, "Why are you pretending to be so delicate and frail now? What are you up to?"

Lingwu looked towards Yueying following the sound. Upon seeing this, Yueying's righteous demeanor vanished instantly, and she mumbled an explanation in a low voice:

"She...she's trying to seduce you."

He had read many storybooks, and he happened to have seen this type before.

This kind of woman usually presents herself as weak and vulnerable to win over Lady Meng Po's attention. Then, she will make various "accidents" that make Lady Meng Po think she is malicious and jealous, thus making her dislike her.

Although every storybook mentions that Lady Meng Po will eventually discover the true nature of this kind of woman, he is still afraid of that "what if".

What if this woman succeeds in interfering in the relationship?

She is not worthy of Lady Meng Po!

Upon hearing this, Luo Suyi burst into tears. "I didn't, I just... it's just that Xuanzhi treated me like this today... Miss Gu is also a woman, so that's why..."

She only said half of everything, leaving endless room for imagination, which made Yueying grit her teeth in anger.

Ling Wu ignored the subtle power struggle between the two, only glancing at Luo Suyi before raising her hand slightly, sending a beam of light into Luo Suyi's brow.

Seeing that she was about to faint after being hit by Ling Wu's forgetfulness spell, Yueying's sullen anger instantly dissipated. She quickly placed Xiaobai under Luo Suyi to prevent Ling Wu from touching her.

Then, with great insight, he instructed Xiaobai:

"Xiaobai, carry her home!"

With a "woof," Xiaobai sniffed the scent on Luo Suyi's body and carried her away.

Having done this for a long time, it naturally becomes very skilled at it.

Whenever the immortal sent him to bite those fairies, some fairies would faint on the spot, and then the immortal would leave behind the words: "Carry her back, and when she comes back, take a bath before coming to my side."

However, after the immortal leaves, the fairies will usually let out a soft moan, then get up and cast a spell to depart.

But a few of them were carried back to the celestial palace, pale-faced in the end.

Then, a few days later, no more fairies came to the Temple of the Matchmaker.

Despite being the Hall of the Matchmaker, it has become the most taboo place for all the fairies.

This is the first time this camel has ever carried a mortal.

It needs to slow down.

The moon shadow that remained in place was filled with shyness.

"The Immortal Venerable is protecting this humble immortal..." His face grew redder and redder, and his voice grew softer and softer.

Lingwu didn't hear clearly, but instead stroked the burning Heavenly Emperor's Decree in her hand and murmured, "Why do mortals have demonic energy on them?"

Yueying blinked, suppressing the joy in her heart, and casually said without realizing it:

“In the past, some demons would enter the bodies of mortals and absorb the yang energy of men and women, but…”

Moon Shadow pondered, "However, since Lu Xuanzhi slew the old demon lord who wreaked havoc on the six realms a hundred years ago, the demon realm, which is closest to the human world, took the initiative to sign a contract."

"After that, those demons were no longer allowed to set foot in the human world, let alone harm mortals."

Ling Wu nodded, then said softly, "A demon in human skin."

Moon Shadow's eyes brightened instantly. "Immortal Venerable, are you saying that the pretentious woman just now was a demon?"

"Whether he is human or demon, the truth will be revealed in time. Apart from this matter, I would like to ask the immortal a question..."

Lingwu looked up and saw Yueying's delighted expression, knowing that he would speak frankly and without reservation.

So he didn't pause any longer and continued, "Do you know what the original form of the Second Princess of the Demon Realm was?"

Gu Lingwu's memories were filled with celestial rules and regulations, and she seemed to forget them as soon as she heard them.

It seems that they were born only to control the laws, and everything else was like a leaky jar, once it went in, it would overflow.

Demons are similar to monsters, but they follow a different path from immortals and ghosts. They have no distinction of ethics, so the race of a princess in the demon realm will be different depending on her mother.

Because of the word "Immortal," Yueying's already rosy cheeks turned even redder, and the mark on her forehead deepened.

With her dark hair and red dress under the moonlight, she possessed a captivating and alluring beauty.

Ling Wu looked at him. "Have you studied seduction techniques?"

Seduction techniques are considered shameful in the immortal realm, and besides, Yueying had never learned them. He quickly shook his head in denial!

After this incident, the ambiguous atmosphere from before had completely vanished, and Yueying, unusually downcast, replied:

"I didn't know that before either, until the Marriage Tree went mad and tangled the threads of the Second Princess of the Demon Realm with the Demon Lord and a whole bunch of other humans, demons, immortals, and monsters. That's when I found out that the Second Princess of the Demon Realm was actually a bear..."

"She always claimed to be a butterfly, no wonder the demons in the demon realm always said that their second princess could split a mountain in two with a single slap..."

Ling Wu didn't hear the second half of the sentence, "After the Marriage Tree started acting strangely, are there any demons in the demon realm whose marriage threads are tied to Lu Xuanzhi?"

Yueying pondered for a moment, then gently shook her head. "I didn't think about these things at the time. The marriages were in chaos then, and I didn't have time to investigate them one by one. Immortal Venerable, it's all my fault..."

Ling Wu raised her hand to silence him.

Yueying then tightly closed her mouth.

Lingwu's shadow stretched long under the moonlight as she walked step by step toward a small alley.

At the end of the alley, a muscular man with three-white eyes looked fierce.

In his shadow, a delicate-looking, fair-skinned little boy was curled up.

"If you weren't good-looking, I would have chopped you into a human pig and sent you out to beg long ago. Don't think you can play tricks on me just because I've been nice to you!"

"If I find out again that you've secretly asked those idiots to report you to the authorities, I'll skin you alive!"

"Get the hell back here!"

After scolding him, the little boy stood up, his legs limp and weak on the ground.

Seeing that the little boy was moving too slowly, the burly man raised his foot towards him...

Upon seeing this, Yueying recalled a scene from a storybook: the Immortal Venerable must have a fondness for kindness!

only--

"Woof woof—"

A majestic black dog came stepping on the moonlight, charging straight towards the strong man!

The imposing presence it carried was more terrifying than a pack of wolves seen by a strong, muscular man.

His face was filled with fear, and he didn't know where the strength came from, but he suddenly leaped up and pushed off with both feet, climbing up the alley wall and disappearing from there!

The little boy then retreated back to the corner, wrapping his arms around his knees.

From the beginning until now, it hasn't uttered a single sob.

Yueying glanced at the big black dog below, eagerly waiting to be patted on the head, and silently gritted her teeth!

"Good! Dog!" he praised through gritted teeth.

Little White, however, rolled around on the ground contentedly, and upon seeing this, Ling Wu also slightly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

The little boy quietly raised his eyes, his gaze gradually becoming filled with reverence as he pondered these thoughts.

Perhaps he saw a fairy in the ninth heaven...

The bright, white moon was directly above Lingwu at that moment.

Bathed in moonlight, she resembled the fairy Chang'e he had heard a storyteller mention outside the teahouse.

Ling Wu took a step towards him, the hair ribbons at her temples fluttering slightly behind her.

In the little boy's eyes, it seemed as if she could fly towards the moon palace at any moment.

Lingwu's words carried a hint of inquiry.

The little boy's soul was clean and pure, but it wasn't sweet.

"What's your name?" Ling Wu didn't bend down, but looked down at him.

Looking down into the eyes of the child curled up in a ball, he was filled with utter devotion, and no other emotions ever arose from them.

Fairies are supposed to be aloof and untouched by the mortal world, aren't they?

My name is Zhu Yuan.
