There are generally four big families in the monster-catching family, headed by the Lou family, and the other three are the Jiang family, the Li family, and the Zhang family.
Yuan Jiang glanced at Jiang Yingyue. In the original plot of this dimension, Lou Ji and Jiang Yingyue were childhood sweethearts and fell in love with each other over time. After more than 30 years of catching monsters together, Lou Ji developed a pathological possessiveness towards Jiang Yingyue.
Jiang Yingyue was concerned about Li Yanxi and avoided the sinister and bloodthirsty Lou Ji. The final outcome was... Lou Ji killed Jiang Yingyue and Li Yanxi, and then committed suicide by swallowing gold.
"What are you looking at?" Lou Ji's cold and gloomy voice sounded.
Yuan Jiang's consciousness was fading. She blinked her thick, curled eyelashes and looked at Lou Ji pitifully. Her small hands tightly grasped the corner of his clothes. She lowered her eyes and sobbed, "My dear, who is that man? He is so fierce."
The delicate, tearful words were as gentle as water, turning into thin threads that penetrated into Lou Ji's skin and flesh, tightly wrapping around his sensitive nerves, making half of his body numb.
Li Yanxi's expression turned cold, and he warned, "Young Master, this woman must be a ginseng demon in disguise!"
"Young Master, Brother Yanxi is right! Everyone knows that monsters have been appearing in Jiangnan City recently. This woman appeared on the street in the middle of the night, so she must be suspicious!" Jiang Yingyue's eyes fell coldly on Yuan Jiang's hand that was holding Lou Ji's sleeve, and she said sternly.
Lou Ji lowered his eyes and stared at the weak and aggrieved girl in front of him, his voice a little hoarse: "Why...are you here?"
"I..." Yuan Jiang's eyes flushed red, her damp eyelashes obscuring the dark complexion beneath them. Her voice, slightly hoarse and trembling, said, "I'm here to look for my relatives. My lover is a demon catcher named Zhou Ci. He hasn't returned in years. I'm an orphan of the first order, and I'm of marriageable age. I can only carry a token of my love and travel across mountains and rivers to Jiangnan."
"But I didn't expect that my purse would be stolen as soon as I entered Jiangnan City." Yuan Jiang made up a story pitifully. She could clearly see that Lou Ji's face had turned a little colder. She curled the corners of her lips calmly and continued to cry, "I have nowhere to go, and I heard a scary noise. I can only hide here!"
"My dear, thank goodness for being here!"
"Otherwise, Jiang Jiang...I'm afraid she would have died at the hands of that ginseng monster!"
Li Yanxi sneered and pressed, "How do you know we're looking for the Ginseng Demon?!"
"Monster! Stop your lies!"
"Young man, how could you slander Jiang Jiang so recklessly? It was you who slandered Jiang Jiang as a demon girl who was the incarnation of a ginseng demon. Now Jiang Jiang knows that you were looking for a ginseng demon!" Yuan Jiang cried and cursed pitifully. Suddenly, her weak body shook and she pounced directly towards Lou Ji.
Before she fell into coma, she opened her big watery eyes and cried, "My dear, you have to do it for Jiang Jiang..."
The next second, Yuan Jiang fainted from fright, his little face pale and bloodless.
Lou Ji's slender and energetic body did not move at all. He lowered his eyes to glance at the girl who had fainted in his arms, and glanced at Li Yanxi with a cold look.
Li Yanxi was speechless, the corner of his mouth twitched: "Don't worry, I just said a few words."
"Who knew this girl could be so delicate and fragile?"
Lou Ji's mind was filled with Yuan Jiang's talk of "looking for relatives" and "sweetheart", and he felt irritated for no reason. Seeing Li Yanxi faint from anger, his anger intensified. He picked up Yuan Jiang and sneered, "Stop talking too much."
Li Yanxi scratched his head in anger and powerlessness, opening his mouth to say something, but Lou Ji glanced at him, and he instantly became as quiet as a chicken. He could only wait until Lou Ji was far away and secretly cursed: "This girl must be no ordinary person!"
