1022 Demon Slayer

wrong"Do you have any questions" I asked."This thing is called the Purple Sky Ruyi" Luo Hu's voice carried a hint of doubt."...I'm not sure either. The person who gave me this said it was called Purpl...Mu Wanchen slightly raised his head, his hair spread out from his shoulders and slid down to my cheek.

I reached out and gently stroked his hair, tilting my head to gaze at his features.

I've gotten used to the dragon scales around his eyes. He has his hair tousled, covering his temples, making him look like anyone else.

But just as I reach out to brush the hair from his cheek, those uncanny dragon scale markings remind me that this man is a descendant of the Divine Shaman. The unknown he carries is far greater than I could have ever imagined.

"If your subjects believe that the Warlord is too enamored with pleasure and spends his days lost in luxury, then your authority will be greatly diminished." I smiled and tugged at his hair.

"It's getting cold," he suddenly said out of the blue.

"Huh"

“I also want to take you back, but the weather is getting colder each day. The Witch King's Palace is built on a mountain and spans a river. I'm afraid you wouldn't be comfortable living there; it doesn't have air conditioning.” Mu Wanchen glanced at the air conditioner remote I had placed beside my pillow.

Outside, the cold wind was biting. When we got home, we had a hot shower and then turned on the warm air to lower the bed curtains, hiding in our little world.

A cozy scene filled with warmth and a fleeting spring night, as if time itself stands still.

"Is it very cold in winter there" I asked.

"I don't feel much. The changing seasons, from summer to winter, no matter how the weather changes, I've long been accustomed to it." He gently leaned down and sniffed my neck with his nose.

A faint tingling sensation ran through me, and I couldn't help but curl up closer to him.

But it would definitely be cold for you, at least you can't just jump out of the hot water wrapped in a towel like that.

“Then your people will have enough supplies for the winter, won't they Or should I buy them something to send over Otherwise, people will say that I, as a princess, not only took away the Shaman King but also haven't made any contributions…” I said with a bit of guilt.

"It's enough that the little princess has this heart…" He chuckled softly in my ear.

Being so close, whispering sweet nothings to each other... It's making my head spin. I have zero experience with romance!

In his arms, I can forget all my worries and sorrows.

I am currently in a state of being very optimistic about the future, but completely without plans.

Mu Wanchen has no demands of me and is very accommodating.

No matter what I say or do, he almost always says "good," without asking the reason or hesitating.

With such a "foolish" "husband," I feel like a fish carefully raised in a fish tank—just opening my mouth makes me beautiful and bubbly.

Elder Ou's identity and background were quickly investigated by Master Yun Fan. He and his direct relatives did not appear to have any major suspicions.

"Come, let's make a deduction: Assuming Teacher Ou really just happened upon Xi Linzhou, and just happened to meet her when she escaped from Sister Zhao - what does that tell us about her" Yun Fan, the master uncle, raised his leg and sat steadily in the armchair.

"She's conscious!" I suddenly realized.

"Good," Yun Fan said, giving me a look of approval. "Even if it's just a brief return of consciousness, it shows that Xi Lingzhou still has a little bit of human brain!"

"And then And then" I pressed.

Master Yun Fan only needed to hear me describe the events in detail before he could roughly deduce the cause and effect.

And when he spoke, it was like listening to a story. He was a great listener and summarizer, always able to pinpoint the crux of the matter.

"Now let's imagine that Teacher Ou and Xi Linzhou couldn't see eye to eye, for whatever reason. Out of the kindness of an ordinary person and the curiosity of a researcher, he sent Xi Linzhou to a special care hospital. I estimate that he planned to visit later and see what was going on with Xi Linzhou..."

“But when he found Xi Lingzhou, Xi Lingzhou was in a weakened state and conscious. Perhaps… Xi Lingzhou quietly left some important things with Teacher Ou to avoid Zhao Jie. Of course, Teacher Ou should have been oblivious to this whole process.”

As a scholar, he lacked understanding of the treacherous nature of the world.

"After that, didn't Xiao Luo see Xi Linzhou come to school And he went to the parking building. This means that once Xi Linzhou recovered his consciousness, he would know to go find Teacher Ou...’s car!"

My mouth formed an 'O' shape. Master Yunfan is a veteran of the world, his deductions were very convincing.

Then we assume that the things Xi Lingzhou quietly left behind at Teacher Ou's place, and the Gu worm on her body, are related – perhaps a method to cure the Gu, or something else… This might have attracted the 'original owner' of the Gu worm, wanting to take this thing back. I guess it was this original owner who released the harmful Gu, his target should have been Teacher Ou, but by accident, he put it on Teacher Ou's mother instead.

I nodded and said, "Master Yunfan, what you said makes sense. I feel like Mr. Ou is an outsider. He speaks in an academic way."

"...Ugh, dealing with people like this is a headache. They're stubborn and impossible to talk to," Master Yunfan scoffed.

“So, should we go find Mr. Ou now and search his car” I asked.

"Yeah, it's all thanks to your cuteness."

"...Me"

"You're his student, use that identity to act cute. Teachers generally like students with personality or special talents. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sought you out to discuss witchcraft and family lineage. Get close to him, explain your relationship with us, and get him to inspect our car." Master Yunfan subtly guided me.

That's no problem, my skin is thick enough.

But when I approached Teacher Ou, I always felt a chill run down my spine as if being glared at.

"...What are you doing" Teacher Ou was just finishing class when I cornered her at the teacher's desk.

“I brought you medicine, yet you didn’t even bring your mom over to my place for a checkup. Don't you have a heart” I shook the bag of medication in front of him.

"I have already sent her to the hospital."

I curled my lip and said, "If you don't believe in the skills of my family's medicine, you should let your mother suffer a bit more... But my family is kind and compassionate, and you are my mentor. So I still brought over some medicine. Whether or not you take it is entirely up to you."

I shoved the medicine bag into his chest. His expression shifted, and his voice softened a bit: "Thank you, that's kind of you."

"... For the consultation fee, you don't need to pay. But the medicine cost is a must." I said with a smile.

"Alright, what do you want As a young lady from such a wealthy family, money is clearly no object to you. Just tell me what you desire." Mr. Ou pushed his glasses up his nose.

"I've never seen a luxury car before, could I take a ride in yours Hehe..."

Mr. Ou clearly didn't believe my explanation. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with my car —"l!”“This is still top-notch in terms of its texture and color, very valuable. Not only is it expensive, but people from the past considered this a religious relic. Great monks and renowned masters wou...
