Li Muge hesitated, unsure how to explain to Mo Yan.
To be honest, no, Mo Yan will definitely get to the bottom of this.
"I found this," Li Muge casually made up a reason.
"Impossible! This is clearly my thing, how could it be something you found?" Mo Yan refused to believe it.
Li Muge smiled and said, "How would I know? If you found it, you found it. It must be because you're careless that you dropped it. If you don't believe me, you..."
"I can't do anything about it. You can take the gold tassel back. I don't want it anyway." Li Muge rolled her eyes.
She really didn't need this magical artifact, and the thought that Mo Yan had given her this hairpin because he liked her made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
The fact that her deceased husband's son fell in love with her is against all moral principles.
--
The wolf demon and the dream demon were hiding in the black market of Sifang Town, and the wolf demon couldn't swallow this insult.
“Brother Dream Demon, if we don’t get rid of that cultivator named Mo Yan, we’ll probably always be a threat.”
"According to my plan, it's better to strike first."
The Dream Demon thought about it and agreed with the Wolf Demon's point of view, which was why he chose to save the Wolf Demon.
They also felt that the wolf demon was highly skilled, and forming an alliance with him would provide them with more assistance.
“Sure, but we probably can’t kill Mo Yan by fighting alone. I have a good idea, but it will be hard on Brother Wolf Demon.”
"As long as I can kill that troublesome cultivator Mo Yan, I'll risk everything, even mountains of knives and seas of fire."
The wolf demon bared its sharp teeth.
"Alright, with Brother Wolf Demon's words, our plan will definitely succeed."
The nightmare burst into loud laughter.
Five hours had not yet passed.
All the children in Sifang Town have gone missing. The residents who lost their children are filled with despair as they search everywhere for them.
He simply knelt at the entrance of the county government office.
"Your Honor, we beg you, please save our child."
"My children, where are you going?"
The county magistrate was also extremely anxious. His twelfth concubine had given him a son, who was also a child born to him in his old age, and he doted on him terribly.
As a result, he vanished without a trace right under the noses of his servants within just a few hours.
The county magistrate immediately realized that there might be a demon causing the trouble, so he spent a lot of money to invite Taoist priests from a nearby Taoist temple.
But even after the Taoist priest set up the formation and brandished the peach wood sword, he still couldn't find out where the missing children had gone.
This includes Choi Myung-joo's younger brother.
Of Cui's three sons, she loved her youngest son the most. Now that her child was missing, she felt so heartbroken that she wished she could hang herself.
But she was an oddball; instead of hanging herself at her own doorstep, she went to the Zhang family's house to hang herself, threatening Cui Mingzhu that if she couldn't find her younger brother, she, as his mother, would hang herself in front of her.
This will give Cui Mingzhu a reputation for being unfilial.
Cui Mingzhu was truly heartbroken. If it weren't for her mother insisting on bringing Cui Ruyu in as a concubine...
Perhaps, perhaps, my own child wouldn't have died.
"Mother, what are you doing? There's more than one missing child. What's the use of you looking for me?"
Cui Mingzhu found it both pathetic and laughable.
Cui's mother simply sat on the threshold of the Zhang family's house, threatening to kill herself: "Cui Mingzhu, you damned thing, why didn't you die sooner?"
“Look how badly you’ve brought misfortune to our Cui family. The fortune teller said it when you were born, that you have a tough fate.”
"You're a cursed family, a cursed husband family. I think the children in this town will go missing because of you."
Upon hearing this, the way the townspeople looked at Cui Mingzhu immediately changed.
Li Muge listened from the side, feeling disgusted. It was truly strange to find mothers like this in the world, so eager to smear their own daughters.
She gathered her spiritual power and, without anyone noticing, slapped Cui's mother twice across the face.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cui's mother was terrified, covering her face.
"Who, who hit me?"
Li Muge cast a spell, transforming into a ghostly figure that suddenly appeared in front of Cui's mother, causing her to faint from fright.
Everyone thought that Cui's mother was talking nonsense, and the farce finally came to an end.
But Cui Mingzhu couldn't be happy. She knew that the peace was only temporary, and what would happen if something happened to the missing children in the town?
Those who were present at the scene will surely blame her for all their grief when they recall what happened today.
Li Muge did not offer any words of comfort to Cui Mingzhu.
Now that she is a man, it is really inconvenient for her.
Soon, Li Muge received a note instructing her to go to Yaozishan in the town alone, and to kill a child if she was even a moment late.
Little Peony looked worried: "Mu Ge, I'm a little worried about you going alone. How about I turn into a peony bracelet and go with you?"
"No need." Li Muge's eyes revealed a faint smile: "Don't worry, I will be fine."
"You, take good care of Tu Dan and wait here for me to return."
Li Muge touched the small flower on the peony wreath, a relaxed smile on her lips.
She was just about to go to the appointment alone.
Mo Yan called her back halfway.
Without saying a word, he handed Li Muge a demon-catching bag. Li Muge still didn't understand what Mo Yan was planning to do.
Mo Yan cleared his throat. "If you hide me in the demon-catching bag, no one else will notice, and you'll have one more helper."
"Sure, but will Mo Yan's demon-catching bag cause any harm to your body?"
Li Muge naturally wanted to figure this out.
Mo Yan was moved; the witch in front of him didn't seem to be a bad person at all.
"Don't worry, I am a Buddhist, and the demon-catching bag won't harm me. When we get to the agreed location with the wolf demon, just release me when they're not looking."
"Okay." As planned, Li Muge arrived at Yaozishan, where a dozen children were locked in iron cages and suspended in mid-air.
The wolf demon bared its sharp teeth, its face was covered in wolf fur, and its ears were still those of a lazy wolf; it had not yet fully evolved into human form.
"Mo Yan, you're here. Today I'm going to show you what happens when you meddle in other people's business."
The wolf demon proudly flaunted the rope binding the iron cage in his hand: "Don't even think about fighting back. If you do, I can't guarantee these children will still be alive."
"Wolf demon, release these children, or I will surely skin you alive."
Li Muge concentrated his magic power and forced it into Mo Yan's Demon-Slaying Sword, directly severing the rope binding the wolf demon to the top of the iron cage.
On the other side, Mo Yan was released from the demon-catching bag and ordered to use magic to rescue the children.
The wolf demon was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting that he and the dream demon had captured so many children just to restrain Mo Yan, but Mo Yan didn't care at all and was not threatened by them at all.
However, when he saw the woman in red at the bottom of the cliff had already grabbed the iron cage and rescued the children, he immediately realized that he had been tricked.
