He slightly raised his eyelids, forcing himself to maintain his nearly collapsed and scattered mental strength, and actually smiled.
Lou Ji's dark eyelashes obscured the crazed and sinister look in his eyes. After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on his crimson lips. His dark, tousled hair was wet and stuck to the side of his face, and his complexion was as pale as paper.
He said, "Jiang Jiang, you're really naughty."
We've spoiled her too much; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the chance to escape.
Lou Ji's morbid and obsessive light appeared even more sinister. He hugged the pillow and took a deep breath until the sweet scent permeated his heart and soul, then revealed a satisfied smile.
He murmured hoarsely, "I will bring you back with my own hands."
What punishment should we give you after we catch you?
My ginger...

Yuan Jiang and the ginseng demon set off south. With their demonic power, they only needed to travel for another day to get home.
Unfortunately, the timing was unfortunate. Suddenly, a strange rumbling sound came from the sky, and the wind became violent, sweeping up the fiery red maple leaves in the forest and hurling them into the air, where they lashed the ground.
Yuan Jiang squinted and looked up. The dark clouds seemed to be about to fall, creating a terrifyingly oppressive atmosphere. Then, large raindrops began to pelt her face.
She paused for a moment, raised her hand to touch her face with her fingers, and whispered, "It's raining."
"I'm exhausted after traveling for several days. Why don't we find a place to take shelter from the rain and rest for a bit?" The ginseng demon looked unwell. Even a demon would be physically and mentally exhausted after traveling for four consecutive days.
"Okay." Yuan Jiang was also a little tired. She didn't know why, but she felt dizzy and sleepy. If it weren't for the magic power to keep her awake, she probably would have fallen asleep long ago.
Yuan Jiang carried the ginseng demon into a dilapidated thatched hut. A cold wind blew in, spider webs swayed in the wind, and weeds grew rampant in the corners of the walls, along with some wild grass.
The ginseng demon skillfully built a nest for Yuan Jiang using clean, wild grass, and asked considerately, "Little fox demon, are you cold?"
"Should we start a fire?"
Yuan Jiang shrank her neck and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes."
So, the ginseng demon used its magic to build a bonfire. Turning its head to look at Yuan Jiang, whose face was unusually pale, it couldn't help but frown. Could it be a side effect of the Scarlet Silk? Why has the little fox demon's complexion been so bad these past few days?
Yuan Jiang sat on the weeds, feeling drowsy.
Outside, a torrential downpour had begun, a biting wind was howling, eerie howling sounds echoed all around, thunder roared incessantly, and lightning flashed across the night sky like thousands of silver snakes flicking their tongues.
Suddenly, faint voices came from outside.
The sounds of rain and thunder were mixed in and could not be clearly heard.
Yuan Jiang suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze wary, keenly sensing the demon hunter's aura. She turned her head to look at the ginseng demon who was already fast asleep, then disdainfully grabbed the ginseng demon and put it into her sleeve, a wary and fierce light flashing in her beautiful fox eyes.
If the demon hunter has murderous intent, then don't blame her for striking first!
"Young Master, the rain is fierce! Quickly, go inside and take shelter!" A gentle, clear voice suddenly rang out from outside the door. The speaker seemed startled, their voice trembling, "Young...Young Master, there's a fire inside! There...there are people..."
"Hmm." The man responded softly, his voice low and calm. He glanced inside with his cold gaze, then put away his oil-paper umbrella and stepped into the house.
When a wary and cautious gaze fell upon that familiar and stunning young face, Li Yanxi was stunned: "Miss Yuan Jiang, what are you doing here?"
