For ten days in a row, Mo Xuan felt that he had changed shape.
Her body can no longer bear it, and she must take pills to strengthen her body.
However, just as she was about to go to the Shengyu Chamber of Commerce to buy elixirs, she encountered an unexpected scene on the street.
Five Qilin Guards wearing black iron armor were surrounding a woman in purple who was sitting on the ground.
The woman's left arm had already shown spider-like features, and her eight compound eyes were filled with fear. Her lavender dress was torn, revealing black lines spreading across her skin.
"Boss, this spider is really good!"
A Qilin Guard with a face full of flesh licked his lips, and the iron chain in his hand rattled.
"Selling it to Jinxiu Pavilion will at least give us enough money to enjoy ourselves for a few days at Yanyu Tower!"
The Qilin Guard's general flag, who was in the lead, sneered and drew out the demon-suppressing talisman from his waist. The cinnabar on the talisman paper was as red as blood.
"You bold monster, why don't you surrender immediately!"
Mo Xuan recognized the woman in purple at a glance. It was Su Zi from the clan.
Su Zi looked around in despair, and suddenly opened her mouth and spewed out a cloud of purple poisonous mist.
The nearest Qilin Guard was caught off guard and immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream after being enveloped by the poisonous fog.
"court death!"
The general was furious and threw out a large golden net with a wave of his hand.
The net was decorated with copper bells that could suppress demons. When it was unfolded, it jingled and enveloped both the poisonous fog and Su Zi.
"ah--"
Green smoke immediately emerged from Su Zi's skin where the golden net touched her. She curled up in pain, barely maintaining her human form, and the outline of a spider faintly appeared on her back.
Mo Xuan's breathing became rapid, she knew she shouldn't show up.
Once her identity is exposed, her revenge plan will fail.
But when she saw Su Zi trembling all over due to the burning of the golden net, she simply couldn't stand by and watch.
“Let’s fight!”
Mo Xuan gritted her teeth, quickly straightened her dress, and then stood in front of Su Zi.
"My Lords, what are you doing?"
The Qilin Guards saw that the graceful figure outlined in the ink-black long skirt was none other than the most famous courtesan Liu Ruyan in the capital.
"Miss Ruyan?"
A young Qilin Guard was surprised, and the knife in his hand unconsciously dropped a little.
Mo Xuan walked forward slowly. She deliberately kept a distance from Su Zi, but quietly released a strand of spider silk from her sleeve and wrapped it around Su Zi's wrist to help her resist the burning of the golden net.
"This is my personal maid Xiao Zi."
Mo Xuan bowed slightly, revealing a perfectly confused expression.
"I wonder what mistake she made to make you officials so angry?"
The general narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Young lady, you said this is your maid? But she is clearly a spider spirit! She just hurt my people!"
Mo Xuan's heart tightened, but he didn't show it on his face.
She stroked her temples and sighed helplessly.
"Your Excellency, you may not know that Xiao Zi has suffered from a strange disease since childhood. Black lines appear on her skin, and she sometimes even spews foul air.
She turned to Su Zi and pretended to blame him.
"I told you to stop running around, but you wouldn't listen!"
Su Zi understood and whispered while suppressing the pain.
"Forgive me, young lady."
“Ridiculous!”
Qi shouted loudly and pulled the golden net violently.
Su Zi let out a cry of pain; her back was burned to pieces.
"This witch has just revealed her true form. We are all watching. How can we allow her to speak nonsense?"
Mo Xuan's fingers hidden in her sleeves trembled slightly. She noticed from the corner of her eye that Su Zi's breath was getting weaker and weaker. She knew that if she delayed any longer, her true form would be revealed.
Just as she was about to take the risk and rescue the person, the sound of wheels suddenly came from the distance.
A black carriage with gold patterns slowly approached, and the bronze bells hanging in front of the carriage tinkled in the wind.
Mo Xuan's pupils shrank. That was the third prince's carriage.
"Your Highness!"
She suddenly raised her voice and bowed towards the carriage.
The Qilin Guards changed color when they heard this and sheathed their swords.
The general's face was gloomy, but he didn't dare to be rude in front of the prince, so he had to kneel on one knee.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Third Prince!"
The curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted, revealing a bony hand.
Then, a face as handsome as a banished immortal appeared in everyone's sight.
Li Lingge's gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Mo Xuan's face.
"Miss Ruyan?"
Mo Xuan's heart beat faster, knowing that this was his only chance.
She took two steps forward, and her skirt blossomed like a black lotus.
"Your Highness, my maidservant was naughty and sneaked out to play. She didn't want to offend the masters of the Qilin Guard."
Li Lingge's gaze shifted to Su Zi who was trapped in the golden net, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The general flag hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, please understand! This woman is a black-bellied brocade spider, and she just injured one of my subordinates!"
"Oh?" Li Lingge smiled, "Miss Mo Xuan's maid is a demon?"
The air froze instantly, and Mo Xuan felt cold sweat oozing from her back, but she knew that she must not retreat at this moment.
She bit her lower lip lightly, looking aggrieved.
"Your Highness, Xiao Zi has been with me since she was young, how could she be a demon?"
She suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded with a weak look on her face.
"I beg Your Highness to make the decision for me!"
This kneeling stunned everyone. A hint of surprise flashed in Li Lingge's eyes, and then he chuckled.
"Why do you have to do this grand ceremony, young lady?"
He turned to the general flag, and his tone suddenly turned cold.
"Does the Demon Suppression Division have any solid evidence in its investigation?"
Cold sweat broke out on the general's forehead: "This...she just realized her true form."
"Um?"
Li Lingge snorted coldly, and then said without any doubt.
"I think this girl has a pure aura, not something evil."
