"No one laughs at me? Haha, what does it matter to me whether others laugh at me or not? I either have nothing, or if I have to have something, I must have the best! Look at how good it is now, look at my face, it is so beautiful that it captivates everyone, and I have countless suitors. Whatever I want, someone will give it to me. It is so much better than the face you replaced for me!" Mrs. Li touched her face greedily, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

Suddenly, the smile on Mrs. Li's face faded. She once again glared at the rat demon with hatred, gritting her teeth and saying, "This is all your fault! This is all your fault. If you hadn't been pestering me, if you hadn't used those disgusting rats to harass my life, none of this would have happened today. It's all because of you. You've ruined everything for me. I hate you, I hate you!"

"Hate me? Hahaha!" The rat demon laughed bitterly, then looked at Mrs. Li with deep sorrow and roared, "But that's your child! It's the child you carried for ten months and gave birth to. How could you be so cruel and heartless to kill your own child? Are you still human? Are you still human?"

"I'm no longer a human being!" Mrs. Li smiled coldly and ignored the rat demon.

She turned to look at the executioner and said, "Yes, you are right. I used a demon baby, a demon baby I gave birth to myself, but so what? I am a human, not a demon from your Ten Thousand Demon City. You have no right to punish me. Besides, to be precise, I didn't kill a demon baby, but a monster that was neither human nor demon. You..."

"Pa—" Before Mrs. Li could finish her words, the rat demon slapped her hard on the face, his eyes filled with regret and disappointment as he asked, "How did you become like this? When did you end up here?"

Mrs. Li didn't seem to mind the slap. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth calmly, still looking straight at the judge, and continued, "Sir, is there a city rule in Wan Yao City that applies to my situation and supports your coming all the way here to punish me?"

A hint of guilt flashed across the officer's eyes, but then his gaze turned cold and resolute. He said in a cold voice, "You are a human, and Ten Thousand Demon City does not have the right to punish you. However, you used the secret technique of our demon world, so I have the right to take it back!" After saying this, without giving Mrs. Li any chance to react, he stretched out his hand and grabbed at the empty space in front of her...

"Ah——" With a shrill scream, Mrs. Li covered her face, squatted down, and wailed in pain.

The rat demon quickly flashed to Mrs. Li's side. He turned his head to look at the executioner, and without thinking, he picked up Mrs. Li and disappeared from the sight of Lan Ziye and others in an instant.

Lan Ziye was completely bewildered. Was this rat demon trying to save Mrs. Li? Was this the legendary human-demon love story, a love-hate relationship?

Feeling touched, Lan Ziye looked down at Xiaobai.

Xiaobai: ...Why are you looking at me? I'm not planning on falling in love with a transvestite. I just simply like the young master! (*｀へ′*)

The executioner was also stunned. He didn't expect that the rat demon would actually protect that vicious woman, and he didn't expect that the rat demon could escape under Chu Xixuan's nose.

However, out of courtesy, the criminal officer still stepped forward and greeted Chu Xixuan: "Master Chu, this is my duty, and I can only do this much!"

Chu Xixuan shrugged and said bluntly, "It's better not to do it. How can I put up a wanted notice for this murderer after you've stripped that woman's face like that?"
