Before Lunar New Year's Eve, the group arrived in Shenzhou.
After settling into the inn, the innkeeper prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for us.
Wen Zhixuan witnessed Jiang Shumiao's astonishing appetite along the way and initially couldn't help but ask her a question.
"You're not the reincarnation of Taotie, are you?"
With braised pork in her mouth and chicken feet in her hand, Jiang Shumiao mumbled, "Have you ever seen such an adorable glutton?"
Wen Zhixuan: "..."
Okay, the little girl is indeed pretty and cute.
From then on, whenever he stayed at a new place, he would instruct the postmaster to prepare extra food, enough for twenty adults.
When Jiang Shumiao left, she deliberately took a large section of demon bone with her.
Apart from Fuqu and Qianli, the others also got to enjoy the delicious food.
Wen Zhixuan also understood Qianli's identity and even told Jiang Shumiao, "The two of them will be discovered soon once they step into the Immortal Realm."
"fine."
Jiang Shumiao didn't care. "Even immortals take demonic beasts as mounts. These two are my maids now, and no one dares to look down on them."
The main reason for keeping them by my side was that I was worried that if they were out of my protection, they might run into Taoist priests or something, which would be troublesome.
Wen Zhixuan could see her protectiveness towards the two little demons, so he naturally had nothing to say.
Jiang Shumiao's identity was special, and local officials were originally supposed to come and pay their respects, but since she wasn't on an inspection tour on behalf of the emperor, they didn't let the postmaster announce it. However, she still stayed in Shenzhou for a few more days during the New Year.
I heard there are lion dances in this area.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Shumiao took Shen Xubai and Wen Yicheng out to watch the festivities.
Wen Zhixuan was worried that the children would run around, so he went along too.
The sound of gongs and drums was continuous, and the crowd below the stage was so large that it was impossible to squeeze in.
So the three adults each picked up the three little ones, and Wen Zhixuan let his son sit on his shoulders so he could see further.
Two lions, one black and one white, came out on stage. They jumped, spun, and stood up, and then began their performance of jumping through hoops of fire.
Jiang Shumiao initially watched with great interest, but her expression gradually changed.
Wen Zhixuan also frowned.
What did you notice?
[Demon.]
Jiang Shumiao scanned the target with her divine sense and locked onto it.
[The armored lion that appeared later had one of its members possessed by a demon.]
Wen Zhixuan's expression turned serious.
[Have you figured out what kind of demon it is?]
[A cat demon...wait, it's a ghost cultivator.]
Jiang Shumiao was slightly surprised.
Wen Zhixuan was taken aback for a moment before he understood.
[A spirit that cultivated itself after death?]
"Hmm, let's take a look first. There are too many people here; we can't scare the locals."
After all, it's the Lunar New Year.
Wen Zhixuan then thought of another question: "Ghosts possess yin energy; if they possess a mortal's body, it will shorten their lifespan..."
That person is dead.
The dead are possessed, a phenomenon commonly known as "reincarnation."
Wen Zhixuan: "..."
Okay, let's take another look.
After the lion dancers left the stage, Jiang Shumiao patted Fuqu, who was holding her, and said, "Sister Fuqu, put me down."
Wen Zhixuan originally wanted to go and see, but with two children with him, he was really worried.
Anyway, Jiang Shumiao is better at catching demons.
He then stopped caring.
The two little ones watched Jiang Shumiao leave, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Daddy, isn't Auntie going to play with us anymore?"
Wen Zhixuan patted his son's head. "She has something to do, she'll be back soon."
The two little ones obediently responded with an "oh".
Jiang Shumiao followed the man to a jewelry shop and a clothing store. When she came out, she was carrying a package and her face was full of joy. Finally, they arrived at a dilapidated house that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
Fuqu whispered, "Princess, it seems there was a fire here."
Jiang Shumiao naturally noticed it as well.
The young man possessed by the cat demon looked to be only in his early twenties, with delicate features. He pushed open the flimsy door and called out softly, "Wanwan."
A soft female voice came from inside.
"Qiao Lang".
Two shadows were cast on the window paper, nestled together intimately, seemingly a couple in love.
Jiang Shumiao told two maids to wait outside while she secretly followed them inside.
The young man whispered a few words to his sweetheart, then opened the package he was carrying. "Wanwan, look, this is the phoenix coronet and wedding gown I prepared for you. We can get married now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shumiao finally couldn't help but speak up.
"A human-demon union, are you trying to kill her?"
The young man's expression suddenly changed, his gaze sharpening. "Who?"
He turned around and saw Jiang Shumiao appear, his gaze filled with astonishment.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The woman was so frightened that she burrowed into his arms, trembling, as if she was terrified of being seen by strangers.
The young man gently patted her shoulder to comfort her while keeping a wary eye on Jiang Shumiao.
He couldn't see the child's potential.
Jiang Shumiao knocked out the woman in his arms from a distance and said calmly, "Come out yourself."
The young man's pupils contracted.
"Wanwan."
"She's fine."
Jiang Shumiao said, "I think you probably don't want her to know your true colors."
The young man carefully placed the woman on the bed, his gaze towards Jiang Shumiao filled with hostility.
Who exactly are you?
The fact that the other party could follow him all the way without him noticing clearly indicates that their cultivation level is above his own.
Jiang Shumiao didn't answer, but said, "You're lying to her. She likes the owner of this body."
The young man's expression changed again, and he instinctively reached out to make a move. But in an instant, he discovered that his spiritual power was sealed, and he was completely unable to move.
"you…"
