"You're my brother, aren't you?" Leng Yue asked, looking at the spirit. She remembered that before junior high school, Leng Kang had always called her by her nickname, Haha. But as she grew older, she stopped wanting Leng Kang to call her by that name.

The spirit nodded repeatedly, "Haha, haha..."

"You're Leng Kang? How did you become like this?" Leng felt heartbroken seeing the spirit Leng Kang shedding tears of blood. But why were there two Leng Kangs?

"Haha," Leng Kang could only call her "Haha" without saying anything else.

Leng Yue thought for a moment, then walked up to Leng Kang and said, "Open your mouth."

Leng Kang obediently cooperated, and Leng Yue looked closely but found nothing. Later, she called out Ling.

After checking the information, Ling replied, "Leng Kang's situation is more like someone has ripped out his soul."

"Extracting a living soul?" Leng Yue recalled her previous lessons. "Is that what happens when a living person's soul is extracted?"

“Yes, the aftereffect of this soul-pulling technique is that the soul will lose its memory,” Zero explained.

"Then who is Leng Kang now?" Leng Yue looked at the spirit form of Leng Kang. The spirit form and the current Leng Kang only shared about 50% resemblance, but the spirit form's features were more gentle and refined. When facing Leng Yue, his eyes were filled with more tenderness.

“He…is…a…monster…” Leng Kang said slowly and deliberately, as if he had great difficulty speaking.

"A monster?" Leng Yue said to Leng Kang, and also to Ling, "Is there any way to confirm it, or to force it out?"

"A demon-suppressing talisman," Zero found from the system encyclopedia, "is all it takes to quickly identify Leng Kang by sticking the talisman on him. Normal people will be unaffected, but if he really is a demon, he will reveal his true form."

"The black dog's blood vessels aren't working?" Leng Yue didn't know how to draw demon-suppressing talismans. She knew that if she wanted to use them now, she'd have to spend points to buy them from the system store. But lately she'd been buying things non-stop and was almost bankrupt. If she could solve the problem with a folk remedy, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

Zero was silent for a moment, then said, "No!"

Leng Kang was also strangely silent for a while before laughing and replying, "Haha, you...are...so...cute...but...it's...useless."

Leng Yue glanced at Leng Kang and couldn't help but say to Ling, "Ling, I think I trust Leng Kang more. He feels like a real brother to me, it's so heartwarming!"

"Yueyue, don't be impulsive. Don't jump to conclusions or easily trust anyone before the real results are in." Ling, like an old man, kept telling Leng Yue to stay calm.

"Alright, alright, let's buy the demon-suppressing talisman and hurry up and check if Leng Kang's is the original." Leng Yue sharpened her knife, her eyes gleaming.

"Actually, you don't need to buy it. The course you bought already includes how to draw the demon-suppressing talisman. Otherwise, do you think such an expensive course is just for show?" Zero was helpless. He really didn't know what Leng Yue was learning every day. It seemed that she didn't even understand her own course.

"Ah! I remember now, it was in the talisman class before. But I didn't think I'd need it right away, so I didn't pay much attention. I was only focused on practicing the ghost-suppressing and exorcising talismans." Leng Yue slapped her thigh. "I'll go learn it again right now!"

Leng Yue ran to the bed and lay down, leaving Leng Kang alone in the bedroom. Ling resignedly looked at Leng Yue; after all, she was its host!

Leng Yue arrived at the classroom and chose the talisman course. Sure enough, she saw a lot of talismans for catching demons: demon-suppressing talismans, demon-driving talismans, demon-capturing talismans, demon-refining talismans... all kinds, everything imaginable.

Leng Yue chose several exercises that she felt would be most useful, and this time her learning was many times faster than before. This was probably because Leng Yue had practiced talismans for a long time before; although they weren't the same type, they were roughly interconnected. With this foundation, Leng Yue's learning went very smoothly.

At dawn, just as the first light appeared outside, Leng Yue woke up. Her spirit body, Leng Kang, had been keeping watch by her bedside, and Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is it?" Ling asked Leng Yue.

Leng Yue was confident, "It's definitely possible. I even feel like I'm becoming more and more of a genius!"

Leng Yue took out the demon-suppressing talisman she had drawn in the classroom. The classroom had everything she needed, so there was no need for her to go out and buy materials. Therefore, Leng Yue increasingly felt that the course was a worthwhile investment.

Because Leng Yue likes to sleep in, she got up so early today, which surprised her parents.

"Why are you up so early today?" At the dinner table, Leng's mother looked at Leng Yue in surprise, and Leng's father also looked at her curiously.

"Oh, I have something to do today, so I have to get up early." Leng Yue said calmly, drinking her porridge and eating her pickled vegetables.

After finishing her meal, Leng Yue grabbed her bag and headed out. "Mom and Dad, I probably won't be back for lunch, so you don't need to wait for me."

After Leng Yue finished speaking, she took a scarf, put on a hat, and wore a mask and went out, leaving her parents looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Mrs. Leng asked, looking at Mr. Leng.

"Is Yueyue dating someone?" Mr. Leng asked Mrs. Leng curiously.

"No way? If she's dating someone, wouldn't she tell us?" Mrs. Leng looked uncertainly at the door. "Could it be that they met online and she's too embarrassed to tell us?"

"I think that's possible. Look how anxious she is. Why is she in such a hurry if she's not in a relationship?" At this moment, Dad Leng transformed into Conan.

“No,” Mother Leng disagreed again. “Yueyue didn’t dress up at all just now. If she’s going to see her sweetheart, wouldn’t she dress up? They say a woman dresses up for the man she loves, and that’s not just a saying.”

“What you said makes sense.” Mr. Leng put down his chopsticks and pondered. “By the way, do you think it’s possible that the boy just likes Yueyue without makeup? Also, don’t you think Yueyue has changed a lot lately?”

"Quite a few changes, really!" Mrs. Leng suddenly remembered something. "Old man, I've been meaning to tell you, do you know who paid for my mink coat? It was Yueyue! She insisted on buying it for me that day, the first time in so many years."

"Yueyue bought you a mink coat?" Dad Leng said, feeling a pang of jealousy. "That girl, doesn't she ever think about the fact that she has a father? In all these years, she hasn't even bought me a scarf. She's so biased! Humph!"

"Alright, when your daughter comes, you can ask her for it yourself." Mrs. Leng said irritably, "Honestly, she gets jealous over such a small thing. She's really becoming more and more like a child as she gets older."

"I don't want it, you want it, you want it, I can't open my mouth!" Dad took a big bite of the bun and turned his head away, ignoring Mom.

Leng's mother didn't mind and started imagining what her future son-in-law would look like.

Unbeknownst to Leng Yue, her unusual behavior had been interpreted by her parents as a date. She was currently standing at the door of Leng Kang's house, being turned away!

Leng Yue had completely forgotten that Leng Kang had never liked her. The moment Leng Kang opened the door and saw it was Leng Yue, he immediately slammed the door shut.

Leng Yue could only stand outside the door, pitifully calling out to Zhao Ya, "Sister-in-law, save me!"

Finally, Zhao Ya opened the door for Leng Yue, saying, "Come in."

Leng Yue looked at Leng Kang with a mournful expression, and sneezed as soon as she entered the room. Zhao Ya was also helpless; those who knew them would say they were siblings, but those who didn't would think they were enemies!
