Zhou Yunsheng walked beside Ali and replied, "Yes, if Miss Yu really likes them, I'll have someone send some over to you."

"Great! I want this kind of green bamboo too, the kind that grows so well."

Hong Gu withdrew her hand and her gaze fell on Zhou Yunsheng, but she kept an eye on Ali out of the corner of her eye. She noticed that Ali had secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she couldn't help but wonder: Why can't anyone touch that green bamboo?

Hong Gu also sent people to investigate Ah Li, but what they found was that Ah Li's background was a mystery, and her demeanor was somewhat weak, like the delicate fragility that the female demons of the past deliberately created. This made people suspect that she might not be human, but a demon, and that she chose to appear by Zhou Yunsheng's side to harm him.

However, she needs to find evidence first.

Hong Gu put aside her grudges and teased with a smile, "Yun Sheng, I'm here to offer my congratulations in advance. Didn't you have a headdress made for the bride? The person said it's ready and wants you to go and take a look."

The bride's headdress?

Ah Li looked at Zhou Yunsheng. Was he preparing to get married?

Zhou Yunsheng originally wanted to keep it a secret from Ali, as he wanted to give her a surprise, and there were still many things he wasn't ready for.

Seeing that Ah Li seemed unaware, Hong Gu feigned surprise and said, "Oh dear, look at me, the owner of the jewelry and headwear shop specifically told me to speak softly when I talk to you."

Zhou Yunsheng put his arm around Ali and looked at Hong Gu, saying, "It's alright, thank you for your help this time, Miss Yu. I'll go over and check on things later."

"Okay, then I'll be going now."

With a smile on her lips, Hong Gu left.

She can't rush things now. She needs to wait until Zhou Yunsheng leaves and there aren't many people at the clinic before bringing people to test whether Ah Li is a demon or a human.

At this moment, Ah Li looked at Zhou Yunsheng and asked, "Are you getting married?"

"I want to get married with you."

Zhou Yunsheng held Ali's hand. He wanted her to become his wife, so that their future relationship would be legitimate.

"But my identity..."

Ah Li was somewhat reluctant, but Zhou Yunsheng held Ah Li's hand, leaned close to Ah Li's ear, and whispered: "No matter what your identity is, I want to marry you, even if it's just in name only, I'm willing."

"Brother Zhou."

Ah Li was somewhat moved. She reached out and slowly hugged Zhou Yunsheng, leaning into his arms, but her eyes were filled with sorrow.

At this moment, the people in the clinic saw the two embracing each other and they all left with great tact.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yunsheng coughed lightly, slowly lowered his head, and said to Ali, "Then wait for me to come back. I'll go get some things; you'll definitely like them."

"Um."

Ah Li nodded emphatically, and then she tiptoed slightly to place a kiss on Zhou Yunsheng's lips, like a dragonfly skimming the water, touching and then leaving.

"Ah Li".

Zhou Yunsheng hugged Ali tightly. Ali lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at him, and said, "Brother Zhou, you go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back."

"good."

Zhou Yunsheng released Ah Li and left the clinic, looking back every few steps.

Seeing that there weren't many people around, Ah Li looked at Qing Zhu, thinking that it should be soon.

At some point, the people in the clinic left in twos and threes, until finally only Ah Li was left.

Ahri seemed oblivious, still packing the medicine packets.

Suddenly, Hong Gu, leading several Taoist priests, appeared silently in front of Ah Li.

This sudden turn of events caught Ah Li off guard. A look of terror flashed across her face, and she dropped the medicine bag she was holding onto the ground.

Immediately, Ah Li's eyes flickered, and she forced herself to remain calm as she looked at Hong Gu, her voice trembling slightly, "You're here to see Brother Zhou, right? Brother Zhou... he's not here. He just left a little while ago. You can come back later if you have something to do."

Hong Gu silently observed Ah Li, then stepped back. Suddenly, the Taoist priest behind her took out several talismans and threw them directly at Ah Li.

Ah Li instinctively dodged, and the talisman thrown at her spontaneously combusted. Ah Li looked at the Taoist priests with lingering fear.

One of the Taoist priests said, "It really is a demon."

"Grab her!"

"Act on behalf of Heaven!"

Several Taoist priests quickly formed a battle formation, took out their magical implements, and got into position.

Ah Li fled the clinic in a panic, only to be trapped by a demon-catching net that suddenly fell from the sky.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Ahri fell to the ground, crackling and popping all over her body; this demon-catching net was indeed a powerful magical artifact.

Hong Gu followed behind and came out. She watched as Ah Li was caught in the demon-catching net. She stood aside and pointed at Ah Li with a look of satisfaction, "Look, she really is a demon!"

Several Taoist priests, holding their magical implements, surrounded Ah Li and began chanting incantations, trying to make Ah Li reveal her true form.

Ahri gave herself pain relief, acted out a living hell, and allowed this body to occasionally reveal its true form.

Hong Gu discovers that Ah Li's occasional true form is bamboo.

The next second, she thought of the small green bamboo in the clinic, which looked different from the other green bamboo, so she turned around and went into the clinic.

Not long after, Hong Gu took out the small pot of green bamboo and said to the Taoist priests, "Esteemed Taoist priests, please look at this."

"This is the true form of this demon. Destroy her and the demon will die."

"don't want!"

Ah Li cried out in a mournful voice.

Hong Gu slammed the small green bamboo to the ground, and a Taoist priest threw a fire talisman at it, causing the small green bamboo to burst into flames instantly.

Ahri screamed in utter misery, as if she were enduring immense pain.

Just then, Zhou Yunsheng ran back. He heard Ah Li's scream and finally understood why he had felt inexplicably panicked earlier.
