Zhu Xueling smiled, but that smile only showed sadness in Mrs. Wei's eyes.

Mrs. Wei turned to look at Qiu Shui, who was also stunned. Confusion filled her eyes as she murmured, "Demon-testing water? How could it be a demon-testing water? Shouldn't it be poison? It should be poison, right?" Qiu Shui suddenly looked up and met Mrs. Wei's gaze, her eyes filled with helplessness and earnest hope. She hoped Mrs. Wei would tell her that Zhu Xueling had lied to Zhixun, that what Zhu Xueling said wasn't true. Even if Mrs. Wei was Zhu Xueling...

She's not a demon. She's her father's biological child, and her father is a human. How could she be a demon?

Mrs. Wei was in a very low mood at this time. She looked at the face that looked exactly like her own, and suddenly felt empathy, and her heart ached.

"Let's go!" Mrs. Wei said weakly, and walked out of the front hall.

Qiu Shui turned around and looked at Zhu Xueling and Zhixun with suspicion, then followed Mrs. Wei away with reluctance on his face.

After leaving the front hall, it was still a sea of ​​white. The two people continued walking forward without any communication.

The further they walked, the thinner the white fog became, and soon, the vision in front of the two of them became clear again.

What caught my eye was a sea of ​​red. Zhu Xueling was sitting by the wedding bed with a red veil on her head, waiting for Zhixun to come back.

A moment later, a tipsy Zhixun walked in. He hesitantly walked to the bedside and carefully lifted the red veil from Zhu Xueling's head. With a silly look on his face, he asked, "Is this all right?"

Zhu Xueling smiled sadly, holding out her hand with her palm facing upward. In her palm lay a piece of emerald green jade. She said calmly, "Give this to Qiu Shui. Have her carry it with her at all times. Her demonic aura will not manifest, and she can live like a normal person!"

Zhixun took the jade pendant with unconcealed surprise and turned to leave. After taking two steps, he seemed to sense something was wrong and carefully put the jade pendant away. He walked back to Zhu Xueling, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Well... today is..."

"Go ahead and give the jade pendant to Qiu Shui quickly. Some of the Zhu family's followers already suspect Qiu Shui. If they find out that Qiu Shui is a demon, Qiu Shui will be in danger!" Zhu Xueling said sympathetically.

Zhixun was stunned and showed hesitation on his face, but he stood in front of Zhu Xueling and did not leave.

"Don't doubt it, I'm serious!" Zhu Xueling said sincerely, "Qiu Shui is my best friend. I hope she's okay more than anyone else!"

Zhixun thought for a moment and said, "I'll stay tonight. After all, tonight is our wedding night, and I believe Qiu Shui is not in a hurry. Besides...if I leave like this, it will cause trouble for you, my father, and Qiu Shui! After all, this is the Zhu family's territory."

Zhu Xueling thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right. You must never let Daddy know that you are marrying me for the sake of the Emerald Jade Ice Soul..." At the end, Zhu Xueling's voice became a little sad.

Zhixun walked to the bed, sat down next to Zhu Xueling, and then... nothing happened!

The two fell silent again, and the atmosphere became awkward. Qiu Shui and Mrs. Wei, the invisible man standing aside, also felt awkward.

Qiu Shui and Mrs. Wei exchanged a glance and were about to leave when Zhu Xueling slowly spoke, "Do you want to know how I knew Qiu Shui was a demon?"

Zhixun turned and looked at Zhu Xueling in confusion.
