Delivered to my house
"You're not afraid of me now, are you?" Leng Can circled around Xi, dancing around him with his two long legs, "Hehe... it's great to have legs."
"Gah... the side effect of this thing is that it will shorten your lifespan, and when it loses its effect, your demonic transformation will become more obvious." He was skeptical. The only demonic part of him was the short tail behind him. As long as he hid it and maintained a normal state of mind, he would be no different from an ordinary human. Although squeezing his tail was a bit uncomfortable, it was much better than relying on drugs. "And it can only last for six hours at a time."
"So what?" Leng Can looked at his legs, overjoyed. "But I'm a demon. Demons naturally have longer lifespans than humans. If I shorten my lifespan a little, I can still grow old with Cong Mo. Besides, we don't know how to use magic at all now, so our demon identities are just a burden to us."
"Alas... Fortunately, it's just an illusion. Kyoto is dangerous, and Grandma Cat even gave us a map." He put the pills in the small box into his sleeve, "Let's follow the map to find it."
"Be careful," the old man warned them. "No one does good deeds for free. That cat demon helped you for no reason, but his purpose is unknown."
"But if we want to find Xiaomo now, we can only rely on the medicine she gave us. It's rare that Xiaomo didn't turn into something else in the illusion she created, which is already a miracle." Leng Can was happy. "If there really is a conspiracy, what can she do by capturing us two little demons?"
"Alas... just don't act rashly." The old man knew he was excited, "I just hope we can find Congmo soon."
"Yes, Master." Leng Can was very happy when he thought of this. "I will be able to meet Xiao Mo soon."
The two followed the map and found the secret passage that Grandma Cat mentioned. They followed the secret passage and after living like reptiles for who knows how long, they finally found the exit.
"Pfft..." Leng Can pushed the straw mat aside. The dust blinded his eyes and choked him, causing him to cough non-stop. "Cough cough..."
"Who?"
Before I even opened my eyes, I heard a voice that couldn't be more familiar.
I opened my eyes and looked up through the light of the water, and saw Cong Mo riding on horseback against the light, looking heroic.
The crisp sound of armor colliding and the strong wind with the smell of rust passed by the ears, and Cong Mo's black cloak enveloped him like a dark cloud.
"Small…"
Just as he uttered a word, a bright sword was pressed against his neck, the sharp edge piercing into his flesh. The smell of agarwood mixed with blood hit his face. Leng Can was forced to look up, and met those icy eyes. They were more cruel than those in the real world, but more emotional.
"Little what?"
Leng Can was stunned, looking at Cong Mo in this state, joy prevailed over fear.
He finally saw Cong Mo.
"Answer me." Cong Mo suddenly leaned forward, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous signal, "What are you staring at?"
But the person below him, Qi, didn't know anything. He just thought they had reached their destination. He had been suffocating underground for a long time and couldn't help but urge him, "Junior brother, hurry up! I'm suffocating to death."
Cong Mo tilted his head, his gaze shifting from Leng Can's face to his body, only to hear her say mercilessly, "Get up here."
Leng Can supported himself with his arms and climbed up, feeling jealous for no reason. Why... Cong Mo turned his attention to someone else.
As he climbed up panting, countless swords were pointed at him.
Cang: "......"
Are they... at the gates of hell?
Looking up, I saw Leng Can, whose hands were bound with shackles, but whose face was full of happiness, like an idiot. Following his gaze, I saw Cong Mo, whose face was ruthless and fierce. He said in a deep voice, "If you look at me again, I will dig out your eyes."
Cang: "..."
How could the junior brothers fall in love with such a vicious and evil junior sister who wanted to stab them to death?
He really couldn't understand it.
"Where is this?" Yi slammed Leng Can down. "Don't look at this anymore. Junior Sister doesn't even recognize you. She even wants to kill us. If we die in the illusion, our mental strength outside of it will also be severely damaged. What on earth... has made you so obsessed? I'm scared to death."
Leng Can smiled sweetly, "I won't let Xiao Mo kill us. I have a way, don't worry."
"Rest assured?" Xi was somewhat speechless. "You, or Junior Sister? I don't trust either of them."
He sighed helplessly and looked at the soldier beside him for help. "Excuse me, where is this?"
The young soldier said sternly, "Barracks."
He stuck out his tongue and said, "He is really Junior Sister's soldier. His personality is so similar to Junior Sister's."
They took the wrong road and ended up in the military camp.
Why dig a fork in the road underground?
Cong Mo dismounted from his horse and handed the sword to a subordinate beside him. "How many monsters have you captured these days, and why? Have you recorded them all?"
"Yes, they are all placed on the table in your study. These days..."
Leng Can watched them talking, curled his lips, and took a few quick steps, "Xiao Mo, I..."
"How dare you call the demon master by his name?" A soldier stopped him.
"I'm not..."
Cong Mo was attracted by the voice, turned to look at them, shook his head, walked over and patted the soldier on the shoulder, signaling him to relax, then turned to look at Leng Can, "Who are you? And how do you know me?"
"You, don't you remember me?" Leng Can's hands were trapped in shackles. He looked at Cong Mo with his bright eyes that seemed to be shining.
Cong Mo frowned, "I don't need to remember an irrelevant person who suddenly appeared in the military camp."
"Irrelevant? You said I'm irrelevant?" Leng Can was so angry that he jumped up and down, trying to rush forward, but was forcefully held down by the soldier behind him. "I miss you so much."
"Oh? You missed me? Could it be that you have another identity?" Cong Mo raised his hand to signal the soldier to let him go. He walked closer and squinted his eyes to look him up and down. "For example... a spy sent by the demon."
"How can you tell that I'm a demon?" Leng Can was momentarily panicked. "I, I'm so handsome, with fair and tender skin."
"Heh... so boastful?" Cong Mo sneered, "Then who else can you be?"
"I..." Leng Can smiled brilliantly and shouted anxiously, "I am your husband!"
This sound shocked everyone present.
Cong Mo: “…”
Soldiers: “…”
I had expected him to do this, so I raised my chin slightly and said, "Gah..."
The old man ate a bite of the snack resentfully.
For a moment, the air froze, and everyone turned their eyes to the two of them.
Cong Mo quickly retreated, putting some distance between them and him. "Don't talk nonsense. I don't even know you."
"Have you forgotten our childhood engagement?" Leng Can continued, "Back then, when you came to Kyoto to serve as a soldier and a demon master, my mother didn't agree. She said she was afraid you'd forget me and give your heart to someone else. Now it seems she was right. I came to find you, and you pretend you don't know me? You're just trying to put me off, right?"
"I didn't, I didn't know..."
Leng Can didn't care about her. The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he became, his nose and tears streaming down his face. "My mother was right. You women are so cold and ungrateful. You only care about yourselves. You were an orphan back then, and my mother brought you food every day. You even slept in the same bed with me, rolling around together. You said that when you become successful in the future, you would take care of me, treat me well, and never abandon me. You bought me food and jewelry, but now you treat me like this. If I hadn't come looking for you, would you have forgotten about it long ago and pretended nothing happened? You forgot about me, such a big and beautiful person, and left me in the village, waiting for you and longing for you for days. Cong Mo, do you have someone else outside? Don't want to be responsible for me? How could you do this! We used to be so close..."
Cong Mo was a little dazed for a moment. What he said was indeed correct. She was indeed an orphan and grew up eating at other people's homes, but she had no recollection of this. She began to wonder if she had lost her memory. "When did I..."
"You have it, don't try to deny it." When he was moved, Leng Can squatted on the ground and rolled around, "Wuwuwu... abandoning your husband! The great Cong Yao Master actually wants to abandon your husband... Wuwuwu..."
The corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at Leng Can playing tricks and unconsciously moved away, "..."
When did Junior Brother become so good at acting?
"Get up first. What's the point of doing this?" Cong Mo reached out to pull him.
Leng Can shook her hand away and said, "No, no, you've let me down, and you still want me to treat you well?"
What he said was so passionate and moving that it didn't sound fake.
The soldiers looked at him with some pity, "Demon Master, this young master doesn't seem to be lying."
"Yes, yes, young master, please don't sit on the ground for now. It's cold."
“It’s still dirty.”
Everyone was talking at once, drowning Cong Mo in spit.
"This..." She was being held high up, and had to bow to reality. She also had to make a promise to a man she didn't know, "You get up first."
"I can't get up, I can't get up... wuwu..." Leng Can cried until his voice was hoarse, "If I get up, you will abandon me again."
"I...ha...can prove it." With red eyes, she knelt down beside Leng Can, "My brother is indeed engaged to you. His village was massacred, so he had no choice but to come to you for help...ha...you can't abandon my brother."
He decided not to just stand by and watch, so he added a scene for himself.
Leng Can immediately took over the role, "Woo woo... My mother passed away before she even had time to write a letter. Now that she has come to seek refuge with us, she can't leave us homeless."
"You..." Cong Mo looked around at the soldiers and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, whether it's true or not, follow me back to the palace first. When the truth is revealed, we can discuss it later."
"Young masters, please get up first." The soldiers helped them up.
Leng Can covered his face with his sleeves, revealing his wet eyes. He looked at Cong Mo pitifully, "Really?"
Cong Mo paused, turned around, and blushed, "Of course... I take it seriously."
"Thank you, my lady."
"Ahem..." Cong Mo took a few quick steps and pulled the reins. "You guys go take him back to my house later. I'm leaving first."
