Meng Siyuan wanted to explain, but the rabbit demon had already seen through his true colors and was completely heartbroken.
"I came to this world thinking I had met the right person, and I am willing to give up a thousand years of cultivation to grow old with you. I know I cannot bear children for you, and even though I am unwilling, I can only give you to other women. As long as you are sincere to me, your child will be my child."
She closed her eyes, her voice trembling.
"In the end, it was my poor judgment of people that brought me this retribution."
Both Fuqu and Qianli felt a pang of sadness.
As fellow demons, and under the relentless pursuit of the immortal realm, they understood any survival instincts of their kind.
Although I don't approve of the rabbit demon's indulgence in human love, I do sympathize with her unrequited love.
Meng Siyuan, however, erupted.
"What do you mean by misjudging people? I'm the one who misjudged people—no, I mean misjudged demons! You possessed my wife's body, using all sorts of tricks and schemes to bewitch me, causing me to fall seriously ill. You vixen..."
"Am I deceiving you?"
The rabbit demon sneered, "If you weren't so heartless towards your wife, how could you not see that the person beside you is no longer the same? I am wrong, but how can you be innocent? I possessed a mortal's body and committed a grave offense, and now my physical body is destroyed, which is my retribution. As for you, you are fickle and heartless, and dying in a woman's body, which is also your retribution."
She laughed loudly, "Karma, hahahahaha..."
Meng Siyuan almost vomited blood.
Wen Zhixuan frowned.
If the rabbit demon hadn't taken human lives, it could have continued its cultivation, just like the cat demon Bai Heng in the past.
Become a ghost cultivator.
After all, she still has an inner core.
Although Meng Siyuan brought this upon himself, his fate was ultimately caused by the rabbit demon.
Heaven will not let her off the hook.
The rabbit demon finished laughing, its expression gradually calming down as it looked at Jiang Shumiao.
"If I did evil in this life, will I still be unable to be reborn as a human in my next life?"
Jiang Shumiao thought for a moment, "Not necessarily. You helped Guan Susu, so maybe your merits and demerits can be offset by the judge's pen."
"Yeah?"
The rabbit demon chuckled softly again, "That's wonderful."
No longer needing to cultivate diligently, no longer needing to evade the pursuit of immortal cultivators, one can live a peaceful and stable life as a mortal.
She closed her eyes, and her soul gradually disappeared.
Meng Siyuan finally couldn't hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Great Immortal, save me..."
The room was filled with cultivators, all of whom remained indifferent and none of them made a move.
The Meng family was a prominent clan in the area; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to casually produce ten thousand taels of gold. Now, he has suffered misfortune because of his philandering, and he has only himself to blame.
Judging from his appearance, Wen Zhixuan believed he would live no more than a month.
The demon core left behind by the rabbit demon...
He asked Jiang Shumiao, "What happened to the inner cores of the demons you killed before?"
Jiang Shumiao glanced at him. "What? You want to take a shortcut too?"
Wen Zhixuan chuckled, "I can't withstand the elixir essence condensed from a thousand years of cultivation."
Those in the immortal realm also have spiritual springs to temper their bodies, and demon cores must be refined slowly; otherwise, if their cultivation is insufficient, they will explode and die.
Wen Zhixuan was quite self-aware.
Jiang Shumiao guessed that he wanted to leave the demon core to Wen Yicheng. "This inner core was forcibly taken from Meng Siyuan's body by you, so it's not exactly legitimate and shouldn't be used for cultivation."
Wen Zhixuan had guessed it too, and felt a little regretful.
Jiang Shumiao belatedly realized that she didn't even know what the rabbit demon's name was.
Of the nine demons that possessed the recently deceased, this rabbit demon was the most pitiful.
Not only did she misplace her affections, but she also lost all her cultivation and was directly cast into the cycle of reincarnation. She's just like Bai Heng back then.
Bai Heng could at least be considered to have gotten what he wanted.
Recalling everything, Jiang Shumiao couldn't help but give a serious warning to the demons around her again, "You've all seen the consequences of human-demon relationships, so be careful not to let your minds cloud your judgment and disregard everything."
Fuqu and Qianli had heard this many times and knew that she was doing it for their own good, so they obediently agreed.
"yes."
That is why there are so many cases of human-demon romances now that the demon race is scattered and fleeing. In the past, the six realms did not interfere with each other, and demons had their own territories and rarely set foot in the human world. Now, they have been forced to flee everywhere by the gods, which has disrupted the order of the human world.
Possessing the body of a recently deceased person is relatively easy to deal with, but possessing the body of a living person is much more troublesome.
Some evil demons will eat people's souls to help them increase their cultivation, but if they want to possess a body, they cannot eat that person's soul, because a living soul will have an instinctive attachment to its own physical body after leaving it.
If a demon consumes a living soul and then seizes a physical body, it will experience a rejection reaction with that body.
Therefore, you either seal the living soul or crush it directly.
Bai Min was a follower of the righteous path. Even though he knew Zheng Han was no good, he didn't dare to crush Zheng Han's soul on behalf of Heaven. Instead, he hid it in his own cave.
Other demons weren't so kind.
The five demons that Jiang Shumiao captured, who had possessed living people, had all committed acts of murder, so they naturally didn't care about taking another life.
In the end, she retaliated in kind, beating them to a pulp.
Fortunately, the soul within the demon's body needed time to be refined and had not yet completely dissipated. Jiang Shumiao used the inner cores of those demons to repair the soul that had been possessed, allowing it to return to its physical body.
Asahi sighed, "Sometimes when I think about it, it's not really the Taoist priests' fault for chasing after demons. After all, most demons are indeed wicked."
The earth is full of spiritual energy, so it is impossible to prevent non-human beings from cultivating into spirits.
The scarcity of spiritual energy in the era in which Wen Zhixuan lived was, in a way, a good thing.
Wen Zhixuan's focus, however, was on something else.
"It's not surprising that a demon has entered the human world and developed worldly desires. After all, even gods have emotions and desires. Don't they sometimes have to descend to the mortal world to experience tribulations and fall in love?"
