The footsteps in the outer hall grew clearer and clearer, and then the door to the inner hall was pushed open without ceremony, and a tall and imposing figure walked in gently.

Liuli stared wide-eyed at the figure, and called out in confusion, "Li Molin?"

Li Molin walked slowly and deliberately. As he passed the window, the moonlight streaming in from outside shone on his face, revealing a sinister smile.

Liuli keenly sensed that the Li Molin in front of her was not the same person she knew. So when Li Molin slowly walked towards her, she subconsciously took two steps back, distancing herself from him.

Sensing Liuli's wariness, Li Molin smiled faintly and stopped about ten feet away from her. Perhaps because it was late at night, his voice was extremely low, sounding unusually eerie, as he slowly said, "It's late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Liuli looked at Li Molin warily, frowning as she asked, "It's late, what are you doing here?"

At that moment, Li Molin was standing away from the light coming in from the window, so his face was hidden in darkness. Liu Li couldn't see his expression, but she could vaguely see a wicked smile on his lips. He said with a wicked smile, "I missed you, so I came to see you."

For some reason, Liuli subconsciously disbelieved what Li Molin said. His mere presence exuded an invisible pressure and immense threat, making her want nothing more than to get away from him as quickly as possible, or for him to leave. After a moment of silence, Liuli said calmly, "Now that you've seen me, I'm tired. Please leave."

"Tired?" Li Molin's smile grew even more sinister. He took a step and walked towards Liuli again, saying in a low voice as he went, "Then why don't I sleep with you?"

"Li Molin!" Liuli exclaimed angrily. She began to back away as Li Molin advanced, and said in a deep voice, "It's late. I don't have time to joke with you. You should leave now!"

Li Molin suddenly stopped, and Liuli stopped as well, maintaining a distance of about ten feet between them.

Li Molin's gaze toward Liuli was cold and indifferent, but because he was hidden in the darkness, Liuli couldn't see the cold light in his eyes. She could only hear his voice, which was very low and had a seductive quality, as he said, "Liuli, I heard that you have something that can bring the Xuanyuan Sword into existence. I wonder what it is?"

Liuli's face changed, her eyes flickered a few times, and she said calmly, "Where did you hear such news? How could I possibly have the key to the birth of the Xuanyuan Sword? Even if I did, I would destroy it, don't worry."

Li Molin smiled wickedly and said softly, "Liuli, are you even wary of me? You don't need to be suspicious of me. Just tell me, what exactly is that thing?"

Liu Li said calmly, "Li Molin, you've treated me so well, how could I be wary of you? If I really had something that could bring the Xuanyuan Sword out of the world, I wouldn't need it, so I would naturally give it to you."

"Hmph." Li Molin snorted and said with a wicked smile, "You fox clan are indeed cunning and not easily fooled."

Liu Li's face darkened, and she said in a cold voice, "You really aren't Li Molin? Who are you?!"

Li Molin sneered, "I am naturally not Li Molin. If I were Li Molin, I would have killed you when you left on our wedding day. How could I allow you to inflict such a humiliation on my demon race?!"
