"Ouch... my tongue..."
On the jade couch, the beautiful woman in red lay on her side, a long, forked snake tongue protruding from her mouth, still swollen like a lump.
"Okay, okay, stop calling me, I'll put the medicine on for you..."
Lingmu picked up the swollen snake tongue and carefully applied ointment to it.
Hongyu was deeply moved.
"Lingmu, you're so kind. I treated you so badly back then, and you still repay evil with kindness..."
"Mainly because I haven't had your sharp tongue these past two days, it's been much quieter..."
"..."
Hongyu sniffed: "Lingmu, I was wrong before, I will definitely be good to you from now on... Ahhhh! It's so spicy! It's killing me!"
Ling blinked, feigning surprise, and said, "Huh? When did my ointment get replaced with chili oil?"
"You stinking bastard! I'll fight you to the death... Ouch—my tongue!"
"Hehe! I finally got a few days of peace and quiet, how could I let you recover so easily?"
The two were fighting until Mu Shuangshuang walked in a moment later, frowning slightly, and said, "Alright, you two stop fooling around!"
The two then stood apart.
"Our informant reports that the Moon Palace has begun sending people here, presumably because Hongyu's identity has been leaked..."
"So fast?"
Hongyu's expression changed drastically, and she asked in surprise and doubt, "Even if the identity of the demon race is exposed, shouldn't the nearest Huayin Palace be notified first? How could you bypass Huayin Palace and go straight to Guanghan Palace?"
Mu Shuangshuang said coldly, "I have already investigated. The little guy who saw your true form was named Shen Wenruo, a member of the Shen family in Linyuan City. The Shen family has a third young master named Shen Yunhao... who married a female disciple of Guanghan Palace. This is common knowledge in Linyuan City. Hongyu, you couldn't possibly not know this!"
"this……"
Hongyu's expression fell: "What a coincidence? The Shen family just happened to see it? No, I heard that the third young master of the Shen family disappeared eight months ago, and the relationship between the Shen family and the Guanghan Palace is basically over."
"Hmph!" Mu Shuangshuang glanced at her: "What a coincidence! I heard that the third young master of the Shen family came back these past two days... just the day after you ate a mouthful of fish scale powder, he went home with Shen Wenruo."
Hongyu slapped herself across the face: "I'll boil it!"
Lingmu, standing to the side, was also dumbfounded: "Could it be...?"
Mu Shuangshuang covered her mouth and smiled, exuding charm: "That's right, the man who made your mouths and butts suffer must be this third young master of the Shen family. And his other identity is the husband of a core disciple of the Guanghan Palace. Tsk tsk tsk, you two really kicked a hornet's nest!"
"What a terrible thing!"
Hearing this, Hongyu and Lingmu, who had just been fighting, couldn't help but hug each other and burst into tears.
"How did I end up provoking such a jinx!"
"Not only that..." Mu Shuangshuang continued, "If I'm not mistaken, he's also related to that wisteria demon deep in Lingyou Valley. The little boy who quelled the Lingyou Valley disaster back then was most likely this person!"
"What?"
"The calamity within Lingyou Valley cannot be quelled by the people inside the valley alone. The child who stopped the great demon must be someone from outside the valley. And coincidentally, at this time, the third young master of the Shen family, who was originally in Linyuan City, suddenly appeared in the Ten Thousand Beasts Dynasty and stuck out Lingmu's butt... The time, place, and people are too perfect. If he didn't have a purpose, it's unlikely!"
Lingmu: "..."
"Miss means... this child already knew about the accident that was going to happen in Lingyou Valley, and went ahead to stop that Great Purple Vine Demon?" Hongyu asked, frowning.
"Whether it's true or not is no longer important!" Mu Shuangshuang waved her hand: "The key issue now is that with the Guanghan Palace involved, your identity... is definitely not going to be safe!"
Hearing this, Hongyu also looked ashamed: "It was my fault that led to this result. Please punish me, Miss!"
"Three catties of sulfur..."
"Miss, just kill me!"
Hongyu looked very sad, covered in both yellow powder and sulfur.
Are you even letting the snake live?
"Okay, okay, just kidding..."
Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward, came to Hongyu, and lifted the beautiful woman's chin with a finger: "But such a mistake cannot go unpunished! So... let's make amends!"
"Make amends for past mistakes?"
A strange smile appeared on Mu Shuangshuang's lips: "Right now... I'm very interested in this Shen Yunhao!"
"!!!" Hongyu's eyes widened: "So, Miss, you... actually like this kind of tender young hunks!"
"???" Mu Shuangshuang's eyebrows shot up: "What nonsense! Do you know what this child means? The Great Demon of Wisteria, Lingyou Valley, and Guanghan Palace—all three of these forces are connected to him! If we can recruit him to my ranks... then the gains from this trip will be comparable to obtaining the Heart of the Vast Ocean!"
"So, I don't care what methods you two use. If you can persuade him directly, that would be best. If not, bring him to me alive so I can give him the injection..."
Lingmu suddenly paused, startled: "You two?"
"Otherwise what..." Mu Shuangshuang looked at her with a half-smile: "Didn't you suffer at his hands too? Don't you want to get revenge for this?"
"..."
...
Meanwhile, in Lin Yuan City, Shen Yunhao had just bought a large quantity of dried fish from the market and was planning to feed his cat when he was stopped by a wandering Taoist priest in the middle of the road.
"Young master, I see your face is dark and your features are distorted; surely your family has suffered a misfortune..."
"A darkening of the forehead? Distorted facial features?"
