The evil energy, accompanied by a strong wind, slammed towards where Yan Huailiu was.

He looked calm, and with a backhanded sword he dispersed it, then chased in the direction where the evil spirit retreated.

But just as he reached the river, a soaking wet figure blocked his way.

"Are you a monk? Don't chase her. You can't beat her."

Yan Huailiu looked into the distance and found that the already scarce demonic energy had already hidden in some corner.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the person in front of him cautiously: "Who are you?"

The clouds quietly dispersed, and under the moonlight, the figure of a woman gradually appeared.

The fishy smell gradually spread. Yan Huailiu frowned slightly. He could clearly feel the strong demonic aura from this woman. Her whole body was glowing slightly red in the moonlight.

Yan Huailiu raised Wen Yue and pointed it at her: "Are you responsible for the disappearances in this town?"

The sword's intent was too obvious, and the little demon was too frightened to move: "I didn't kill anyone, I just, I just wanted to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?" Yan Huailiu looked tense and did not relax at all because of her show of weakness.

"I'm looking for my husband. I don't know where he's hiding, so I can only slowly search along the river. My...my child is about to be born, and I have to find him."

The little demon stroked her slightly bulging belly, and her scaly face gradually softened.

"My Immortal Lord, I really didn't hurt anyone. I just wanted to see if they were my husbands. After checking, I sent them back."

The little demon's expression was very sincere.

Yan Huailiu recalled the rumor that the men were stripped naked and thrown by the river, and asked with some headache: "Did you strip them naked and throw them by the river? Why did you do that?"

The little demon said innocently, "There is a birthmark on my husband's left buttock that looks like a flower. I can only see it if I strip them naked."

Yan Huailiu's veins jumped: "Can't you read faces?"

"But I can't remember what you mortals look like. Because I've been at the bottom of the river all year round, my eyesight isn't very good. You all look the same to me. I only remember my husband because of that birthmark."

Yan Huailiu: ...

He has never been so speechless!

"My Lord, I didn't do anything to hurt anyone. My husband said that humans and demons have different paths. If we want our relationship to be recognized by this world, we must be nicer to mortals. I already have his child, so I won't do anything that would be detrimental to the development of our relationship."

The little demon explained with blinking eyes.

Yan Huailiu said with a stern face: "What's your husband's name?"

The little demon blurted out: "It's called Peach Blossom Birthmark."

As the night wind blew, one could clearly see half of Yan Huailiu's face twitching.

He hated communicating with people, and he hated communicating with these weird-thinking monsters even more.

So annoying, what grown man is called Peach Blossom Birthmark?

No one recognizes people by the birthmark on their buttocks.

It's outrageous!

The little demon looked at him with an extremely blazing gaze: "My Immortal Lord, can you help me find my husband? I've searched several towns in a row, but there's no sign of him. My child is about to be born, and I want my husband to see our child."

Yan Huailiu's gaze fell on her abdomen, and then he looked away unnaturally.

Why do these little demons wear clothes that save fabric?

"Let's talk about this later. Once I'm sure what you said is true, I'll consider whether to help you or not."

Yan Huailiu didn't say anything too decisive. In the distance, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that demonic energy could be seen surging.

He was in no mood to talk to the little demon, so he asked directly, "Are you in the same group as that monster?"

The little demon's eyes widened and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I don't know her, but I know she's very bad! She kidnaps many girls and takes away a trace of their souls."

"Soul?" Yan Huailiu muttered to himself. No wonder those girls became stupid and dull.

"I saved them. The evil demon wanted to throw the girls into the river to slander me, but I saved them and took them to the safest place, which is where there's a clay sculpture of an old man. My arms were burned by the spiritual energy there."

Xiao Yao explained anxiously, stretching out her bare arms for Yan Huailiu to see, which were covered with red and swollen marks.

This made Yan Huailiu believe her words a little more: "Do you know what that monster is?"

"I know, it's Night Swallow who has been practicing for a hundred years! She can only move at night, and I heard she can also suck blood."

The little demon covered her neck with her hands, her face horrified. "She bites right here. It's scary. She moves very fast. You can't catch up with her."

"Night Swallow? Night Swallow..." Yan Huailiu searched for relevant information in his mind, and after a moment, an idea flashed: "Bat."

This world of cultivation is indeed... full of wonders.

"The place with the clay statue of the old man is usually very safe. Today, for some reason, the spiritual energy dissipated for a long time, and it became unsafe. This gave Ye Yan the opportunity to capture the person with you."

The little demon muttered, "She was going to eat him, but you showed up too quickly, so Ye Yan ran around with him and ended up throwing him into the river, where he hit me on the head, so I sent him back."

Yan Huailiu was silent for a long time, his brain working rapidly.

It shouldn't be... because I set up the barrier myself, right?

"It seems she's going to the house in the southwest of town today to kidnap their daughter. Immortal Lord, do you want to go there now, or wait here until she finishes extracting her soul and then throws her over?"

The little demon asked innocently.

Yan Huailiu narrowed his eyes and became alert instantly: "How do you know her schedule?"
