Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 60: Encountering the Five Ghosts, the Great Demon Yu Luoniang Hiding in Gulan County
[You've always lived in the back hall of the county government office, but today you slept here, and I vaguely felt something was amiss.]

[In the middle of the night, you notice people moving around inside the county government office, as if someone has broken in to hold a meeting on your territory.]

[But just when you're about to take a closer look, you realize there's no one there at all.]

You realize there's a big problem.

[Ever since finishing that case this day, you've felt the aura within you become unusually powerful. Although you don't know exactly what this power is, you've vaguely understood how to use it.]

You immediately take out your calligraphy and write the word "Zhen" on a blank piece of rice paper.

[As you expected, at the moment the last stroke of the character "镇" was written, a powerful force of repression descended upon the paper.]

The paper shone with white light, and the surrounding space shone like a white lightning snake, illuminating five ghostly figures of varying sizes.

[At this moment, you clearly saw the true faces of the five ghostly figures.]

[The leader was eighteen feet tall, and his entire body was jet black.]

[The second place is a green ghost, skinny and ferocious looking.]

[The third one is a white ghost, with a pale face and no blood at all.]

[The fourth and fifth were short, like dwarfs, one red and one purple, floating in the air.]

After your word "suppress" appeared, the five ghosts froze in place, as if they had witnessed something terrifying.

【Only now do you realize the power within you.】

[Even though you don't know how this power came about, as long as it can help you overcome the crisis, there's no need to pursue its origins.]

You come before the Five Ghosts and begin questioning them.

"Who sent you?"

[At this moment, in the eyes of the Five Ghosts, you are clad in white divine armor, and your voice is as resounding as a huge bell.]

[Looking at you, who seemed like a god descending from heaven, the five ghosts trembled like sieves, and could be said to have told you everything they knew.]

"I... I said, the five of us were sent by Yu Luo Niang. Yu Luo Niang said... that you are a disaster in Gulan County, and she sent us here to harm you."

"After the matter is accomplished, Yu Luo Niang will give us a source of ghost energy, so that our cultivation can be improved."

"I'm sorry, sir. We were just momentarily misled. We didn't mean to harm you!"

"Yes, the five of us brothers were living well in Yinshan. It was Yu Luo Niang who used the method of summoning ghosts to forcefully capture us and make us work for her."

“In essence, we don’t want to!”

"..."

After listening to the five ghosts, you realized that Yu Luo Niang was the demon lurking in Gulan County.

[The county magistrate mentioned above was probably killed or driven away by these five ghosts.]

[And this Zheng Boyuan must have some inextricable connection with Yu Luoniang.]

[I just finished my trial today, and now I'm sending this little devil to me this evening. Even a fool can tell who's behind this.]

Unfortunately, Zheng Boyuan didn't know he had such magical powers. Not only did he not die, he also captured those little ghosts.

You immediately return to your desk and write, your brush darting freely as you write the word "kill" three times!

The word "kill" is far more sinister than "suppress." Rays of red light, representing the austere killing energy of heaven and earth, penetrated the word, terrifying the Five Ghosts.

[They sensed that if you had written the word "kill" from the beginning, they would have no chance of survival now!]

【You pick up the paper and look at the Five Ghosts.】

"Now, take me to find Yu Luoniang."

Upon learning that you were going to look for Yu Luo Niang, the Five Ghosts hurriedly led the way. As we exited the county government office, we headed towards Qipan Street in Gulan County.

Qipan Street is where the Huajian Restaurant is located. It is the center of Gulan County. Eight long alleys start from this street and run through the entire county.

When you arrive at Qipan Street, the Huajian Restaurant is still bustling with people seeking pleasure.

Someone has recognized you at this moment. During your daytime trials, you have already completely established your reputation and influence in Gulan County.

When people who knew you saw you visiting the Huajian Restaurant, they immediately gave you an "I understand, we're all men" look.

[And right now, in your eyes, on the top floor of the Huajian Restaurant, is the center of a massive spider web. This web blocks out the sun and covers most of Gulan County, and a large amount of transparent energy is being absorbed by the web.]

At this moment, you think of a saying. "Heaven gives birth, Heaven kills; this is the principle of the Tao. Heaven and earth are thieves of all things; all things are thieves of man; man is a thief of all things."

[Humans steal from everything to nourish their own spirits, while everything else steals from humans.]

To survive, humans cut down trees, capture wild animals, cultivate and cook, stealing the resources of all things in the universe. Therefore, humans are thieves of all things. Through human desires, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and thoughts, all things consume our vital energy and spirit, and in this way, steal our vital energy and spirit back.

It’s like seeing a beautiful flower. Should you focus your mind on the flower or on the flower itself?

【Everyone is focusing their attention on this flower.】

[Seeing the scenery arouses emotions, indulges in lust, and wastes essence, energy and blood.]

[And this spider web, in your eyes, is the web of all things that steals from humanity.]

[This Yu Luo Niang, through some unknown method, absorbs the energy and spirit of the people in the entire county.]

[The energy and spirit that should have been naturally consumed is being deliberately absorbed by this spider web, which is a very harmful thing.]

[People pay a huge price for this. Their vitality and energy are exhausted, and they will go from youth to old age, becoming old and frail, and without any spirit.]

[This kind of demon must be eliminated as soon as possible! ]

You followed the Five Ghosts into this restaurant.

[Seeing your arrival, some officials were a little surprised and didn't know why you came here.]

【But you didn't stop, but walked all the way to the top floor. 】

[When you reach the top floor, you find that there is only one room on the top floor. The door is closed and the surroundings are extremely quiet.]

Just as you were about to push open the door, it swung open on its own, and a woman in white, with fair skin, stepped out from behind the screen.

[The woman has fair skin and a stunningly beautiful face, captivating everyone.]

[Even you have a bit of a lingering look in your eyes right now.]

……

Looking at the woman in the picture, Su Mo was a little surprised.

I guess this is Yu Luo Niang.

This woman's appearance and demeanor seem to be no different from Xiaoqing's, each with their own merits.

Is it possible?

Is this female monster still so beautiful after transforming?
However, when Su Mo thought of the female demons he had seen in the Yin Yang Market before, he immediately overturned his idea.

He felt that this had something to do with the banshee's own aesthetic taste.

Some banshees have not yet shed their nature and their aesthetics are still more animalistic, so they are not good-looking.

Good-looking ones should be those who have more humanity than animality, high comprehension and good luck.

This kind of banshee should be very rare...

After thinking for a while, Su Mo continued to look at the simulated scene.

……

In the picture...

[The woman smiled before she even opened her red lips.]

"Sir, since you are here, why not have a cup of fresh tea?"

[After saying this, the woman made way. A pot of fragrant tea had already been brewed on the tea table in the room.]

[It's obvious that they already knew you were coming.]

[You see the five ghosts trembling with fear, not daring to approach, and immediately understand that this is the Yu Luo Niang they were talking about.]

You follow Yu Luoniang into the house.

[Inside the room, I saw a flickering red candle and an elegant dressing table. The embroidered curtains were lightly drawn, and the brocade couch was fragrant.]

"Yu Luo Niang?"

"That's right, sir. I really underestimated you before."

[Suddenly, Yu Luo Niang seemed to be tripped by something and fell directly into your arms.]

You subconsciously hug the woman in front of you, a rich, unique fragrance wafting into your nostrils...

[Yu Luo Niang gently puts one of your fingers into her mouth, and you feel only warmth and moisture...]

"Your Excellency has worked hard investigating the case, but it's better tonight..."
