There has always been a protective barrier at the entrance of Lin Xi's feng shui shop.

This barrier doesn't target ordinary people; it only targets ghosts and monsters that can become invisible.

After all, Lin Xi could see at a glance what living people were doing and what kind of people they were.

She can see most ghosts and monsters, but there are some that are particularly good at hiding.

To prevent such ghosts from sneaking in and causing trouble when she wasn't paying attention, Lin Xi set up a protective barrier when she opened her business.

so.

The woman who is now blocked outside the door by an invisible barrier is not human.

It is at least not entirely human.

Realizing this, Lin Xi quickly looked at the woman's face at the door.

Upon closer inspection, one can't help but be somewhat surprised.

Because the woman outside the door is, strictly speaking, a person.

But she was not an ordinary person with a mortal body; she was a person who had been refined into human form by a demon cultivator.

In this era of scarce spiritual energy, to transform from a demon into a human requires not only millions of times more effort than it did a thousand years ago, but also some rare and precious opportunities.

Furthermore, she had previously learned from the special department that monsters who cultivate into humans now seem to have to register and be approved by the special department.

Once the special department has approved the demon's investigation, they will need to determine whether it has harmed anyone or done anything wrong during its years of cultivating the chain, as well as its current state of mind and its purpose after transforming into a human.

It's similar to a political background check, but it requires more information to be gathered and confirmed than a political background check.

Only after the demon passes the test can it be allowed to transform into a human.

Of course, if some demons have been living in the deep mountains and forests and are not familiar with the current rules, they will be temporarily kept under the supervision of special departments after they transform into human form and come to the human world. Only after the demon's background is verified and its identity information is registered will it be allowed to roam freely.

Therefore, if some demons illegally cultivate themselves into human form and then come to human society, they will continue to evade the investigation by special departments.

The special department could only regard it as a bad demon, capture it, and destroy its cultivation, returning it to its original form.

After all, if such a demon, which is not under the control of relevant departments and has taken on human form, were to enter human society, it would pose a huge potential threat to the entire society.

These demons that have taken human form are impossible for ordinary people to discern from their true identities based on their appearance alone.

Besides having a human form, they also possess many special abilities that ordinary people do not have.

These abilities would allow one to easily crush any ordinary person.

They don't even need to get serious; they can easily kill an ordinary person.

Therefore, special departments strictly control demons who cultivate human form through chains.

Basically every month, they send people to places with abundant vitality and spiritual energy, or places with many spirits and intelligent animals, to promote the "Rules for Monster Transformation".

This is to ensure that the monsters in the mountains and forests who have already taken human form, or are about to take human form, know which rules of human society they need to follow after taking human form.

However, according to Minister Xu of the special department, from the time he can remember until now, decades have passed, and he has never encountered a demon that has successfully transformed into human form.

As for the previous minister, several monsters successfully transformed into human form and registered their information with the special department.

To this day, those monsters who successfully transformed still maintain close ties with their special department.

After all, although monsters can transform into humans, they are still very different from humans.

Besides their superhuman abilities, another point is that they live longer than humans, and even their appearance and physical characteristics remain unchanged. No matter how many years have passed, as long as their cultivation level is still high enough to maintain their human form, they will not age.

In this situation, they certainly cannot stay in one place for long.

After all, over time, the neighbors and villagers around them will surely notice something is wrong, given that their appearance has never changed over the years and they show no signs of aging.

In order to maintain the physical and mental health of humans, to avoid causing disturbances, and also to protect the monsters, they must move their homes every certain period of time.

Each time they move from their original address, they must register again with a special department so that the department can contact and locate them at any time.

Lin Xi recalled these events with pure surprise.

Judging from the current situation, the woman outside the door dares to appear so openly on the street, so she must not be afraid of the special authorities or of being pursued by them.

In this situation, there are only two possibilities.

Either her abilities surpass those of everyone in the special department, or she is capable of taking on ten, a hundred, or even a thousand people single-handedly, and can withstand the siege of all members of the special department.

In this situation, she naturally doesn't need to care about those people in the special department, nor does she need to abide by the rules set by the special department.

Another possibility is that she is a law-abiding and good monster who has already registered her information with the special department, which is why she dares to openly move around in human society.

Judging from the woman's expression and demeanor, it was clearly the latter.

If that's the case, then Lin Xi became even more curious as to why a monster would come to the feng shui shop to find her.

At this moment, the female demon at the door also noticed the problem with the barrier and immediately said to Lin Xi inside the house, "Master, please let me in for a moment. I have something I would like to ask you for help with. Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble."

His tone was very respectful.

With a thought, Lin Xi temporarily opened the barrier, and the banshee sensed it and immediately walked in.

Upon seeing her enter, Lin Xi didn't immediately ask why the succubus had come to see her, but instead asked another question.

How did you find me?

The succubus immediately explained, "I heard it from someone else. I heard that you, Master, have extraordinary abilities and can help people solve many problems!"

Lin Xi keenly caught those two words in her words.

Help people.

Judging from this, she came for someone else, not for herself.

After explaining how she found her way here, the succubus couldn't wait to reveal her purpose.

"Master, I have come here to ask you for help with my husband."

Help her husband?

Lin Xi was surprised once again.

She asked, puzzled.

"Is your husband even a human being?"

Normally, people who are ladyboys cannot communicate with each other.
