"I hugged her, comforted her, and told her that nothing would happen and that I would help her deal with the matter. After saying a lot of things, I finally calmed her down and took her away from there!" said the fish demon.

"I settled her in a sanatorium, intending to make other plans for Youyou after this matter was over. Unfortunately... I underestimated Youyou's desperation. When she stabbed Lin Hao, she already didn't want to live..." Having said that, the fish demon closed his eyes in pain and said with regret, "It's also my fault. Youyou said she wanted to eat scallion pancakes, and I was happy that she finally understood and wanted to eat. I went out to buy it for her without any suspicion. If I hadn't gone out at that time, maybe, maybe Youyou wouldn't have died!"

"Youyou committed suicide and left me a suicide note filled with her despair about life and the humiliation she suffered from Lin Hao. What's even more hateful is that her vicious mother remained indifferent even after discovering Lin Hao's misconduct against Youyou and even when Youyou knelt in front of her and begged her to take her away. She only knew how to beat and scold Youyou, and even helped Lin Hao abuse Youyou. I think no matter who reads a suicide note like that, they would be so angry that they would want to kill people!" The fish demon gritted his teeth and said, "So... I want to avenge Youyou."

"Lin Hao was scared to death by me. He was scared to death by me pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night. Don't you think it's funny? Such a bad person, yet so timid!" The fish demon laughed contemptuously.

"However, this is not the end. Youyou's mother is not a human, and I can't let her be happy, so...what happened later is as you know!" The fish demon shrugged.

"Why don't you just kill Youyou's mother?" Lan Ziye asked indifferently.

The fish demon was silent for a long while, then she said sadly, "Youyou said at the end of her suicide note, let me... let me help her take care of her mother!"

Lan Ziye also fell silent.

"Since Youyou doesn't want that woman to die and asked me to take good care of her, I will naturally take care of her. But... I won't let her have an easy time. I will take care of her until she regrets it!" The fish demon said with gritting his teeth.

"Then what is your purpose in coming to me? Just to ask me not to interfere in the matter between you and that lady and let you go?" Lan Ziye asked with a raised eyebrow.

"When you saw me in the afternoon and didn't directly expose that I was a fish demon, I knew that you would not help that evil woman. The head of the Lan family has always been open and honest in his actions and has a clear distinction between love and hate. How could he possibly help that evil woman?" The fish demon said firmly.

Lan Ziye raised a smile: "Interesting, then what are you doing here?"

"I want to follow Master Lan and find a place to stay!" The fish demon's face became serious and he said solemnly.

"I won't contract you!" Lan Ziye refused directly.

"I know!" the fish demon said sincerely. "A mere fish demon like me is naturally unqualified to become Patriarch Lan's Shikigami! I simply hope that after this matter is resolved, Patriarch Lan will allow me to accompany you. I swear to absolutely obey Patriarch Lan's orders and become his capable subordinate!"

Lan Ziye didn't expect that the fish demon would have such a request, and she fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Lan Ziye didn't nod, the fish demon felt anxious and said hurriedly, "I know the master really likes that purple essence stone, so I've brought it to you!" As she spoke, she placed the brocade box she had seen that afternoon on the coffee table and continued, "This is a small gift from me, master. Please accept it!"
