The seemingly lazy wife is a master of metaphysics, specializing in dealing with those who dare to d

Jun Yao gently channeled his spiritual power and quickly found the still-warm bodies of Liang Jingu and his two disciples in the linen room of the guesthouse.

She then pulled their souls off the roof beam as if picking flowers, and with hand seals and incantations, sent them back to their original bodies.

"Thank you, Madam!"

After Liang Jingu recovered, he hurriedly thanked her and immediately went to control Su Xinhao.

At this moment, Su Xinhao could only be trapped in place like a stone statue, unable to move.

But Liang Jingu had already been tricked by her once.

He dared not let his guard down any longer!

This female demon's skills are indeed not to be underestimated; he must strike first!

Junyao noticed that there was a fireplace in the lobby of the guesthouse.

With a flick of her finger, flames shot into the sky from the fireplace filled with dry firewood.

The roaring fire brought warmth, and Junyao sat by the fireplace, looking as if he would never leave the fire for the rest of his life.

In her spare time, she would look up and stare at the old ghost that was still clinging to the roof beam, as if it were an ornament.

Old Ghost was stunned.

He could barely speak.

He used to think that Su Xinhao was already quite capable.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly met a woman who was even younger than Su Xinhao.

Moreover, the methods she used were all things he had never seen before!

With a flick of the palm, a faint white light flowed by... It was enough to easily freeze a powerful demon like Su Xinhao in place, making her completely immobile.

Which school of martial arts does this belong to?

Old Gui was even more confused about whether Jun Yao was an enemy or an ally, so he dared not speak rashly.

They feared that if they uttered a single wrong word, they would vanish into thin air in an instant, never to have another chance to speak.

But Liang Jingu couldn't wait to report to Jun Yao.

"Madam, this man is a lecherous old man who only lusts after women!"

"Back then, he thought Su Xin was very pretty, so he said he could provide her with a stable place to live, so that she, a homeless orphan, would have a place to stay."

"If he hadn't been so greedy and wanted to trap them here, he wouldn't have been killed by Su Xinhao."

"Su Xinhao acted in self-defense and accidentally killed him, yet he still keeps harassing her!"

"In summary, although Su Xinhao is very capable, she has never actually harmed anyone..."

"For so many years, she has lived alone in this mountain, hiding her identity and making a living by selling her own snake skins."

"To prevent others from discovering her identity as a demon, she tirelessly studied and refined her disguise skills, never causing trouble for humans..."

"Even the rabbits and chickens that she loves to eat are all obtained through legitimate transactions at the market by herself. She has never taken a single needle or thread from the village."

"These are all things the tree spirits in the village told me. Tree spirits are among the purest spirits in the world; they don't lie..."

Jun Yao nodded gently.

She knew the tree spirit.

I also believe the results of Liang Jingu's investigation.

From the moment she first saw Su Xinhao until now, she had indeed never sensed any murderous intent emanating from her.

Although she was so beautiful that she seemed dangerous, she was far safer and cleaner than any human being who claimed to be righteous and just.

Junyao handed over the silent old ghost on the roof beam to Liang Jingu and the others to deal with.

He then persuaded Su Xinhao to come over, and they sat together by the fireplace to talk.

Urged on by Jun Yao, Su Xinhao was finally able to speak.

Although she still felt tightly bound by an invisible rope, she did not want to struggle.

Because she could also tell that the woman in front of her, with her unforgettable beauty and elegant demeanor, harbored no hostility towards her.

Besides, even if she insisted on picking a fight with someone, she was no match for them.

Su Xin looked at Liang Jingu and his two disciples who were performing a ritual in the courtyard, and asked with a light laugh, "Miss, are you someone sent by the underworld?"

Jun Yao was suddenly moved. "How much do you know about the underworld?"

Su Xinhao shook her head. "I don't know much about it, but in all my years living in human society, I've never seen anyone circulate the sparse spiritual energy of heaven and earth as easily as you... This is an ability only those in the Underworld possess. However, they face many restrictions in human society, unlike you who are so free. You... must hold a fairly high rank?"

Jun Yao gave a cold, indifferent smile.

Official rank?

Ha ha.

It's not that she didn't want to.

But the truth is, she was an abandoned child thrown into the human world by the underworld.

She's been gone for so long, giving up, and not a single colleague has come to punish her.

She was almost losing faith.

"Actually, I'm not as good as that guy surnamed Liang said. I have also taught some humans a lesson with my own abilities." Su Xinhao said seriously, reflecting on herself, "But the bad things I did shouldn't need to be judged by the underworld, right? I try my best to do good deeds and accumulate merit so that I can live a few more years in the mortal world... The underworld is too cold. I was born there and I don't want to go back there."

Although Su Xinhao is a snake, she shares the same attitude as Jun Yao when it comes to longing for and yearning for human warmth.

Jun Yao smiled calmly and answered her question.

"I do have some connection to the underworld, but unfortunately, it's not as powerful as you claim. I have no official rank, nor was I sent by the underworld to judge you."

She paused slightly, her smile becoming meaningful.

"On the contrary, I came to find you specifically because of a debt of affection you left in human society in the past."

Su Xinhao was stunned for a moment, as if she was lost in a distant memory.

After a long pause, she asked in an incredulous tone, "You...you wouldn't be talking about Ye Xiao, would you?"

Jun Yao pursed her lips. "So you still remember him."

"I don't want to hurt him anymore, so why won't he let me go?" Su Xinhao was very frustrated. "When we were together, he was indeed very good to me, but my feelings have an expiration date! After that initial excitement wore off, I just couldn't stand him anymore... No matter how good he was to me, I couldn't fall in love with him again."

Jun Yao wanted to laugh when she heard this.

So it turns out it was all a story about a lovestruck old man relentlessly pursuing a beautiful snake woman?

Su Xin saw the smile in Jun Yao's eyes.

Her beautiful, dark eyes returned to normal, darting around rapidly.

"You know what I mean by 'feeling,' right?"

"Your lifespan must be different from that of ordinary people, so you can understand the pain I feel for not wanting to be controlled by someone else's life, right?"

Su Xinhao was still locked down and unable to move.

However, the physical constraints did not seem to prevent her from speaking freely.

When she saw Jun Yao, it was as if she had seen a long-lost relative; she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

I unconsciously wanted to get close to her.

Su Xinhao curled her lip in a serious tone and said, "Besides, how can I so easily trust humans?"

"A man's mouth can say anything to achieve his desired goal."

"I personally witnessed him spending lavishly on other women at the casino."

"I've also seen him bring beautiful women he'd only met once into his car, and he loved them so intensely..."

"Although I am a demon, I also have a heart and feelings."

"It's not something he can bind me to for life just by saying he loves me."

"I want to decide for myself who my partner is."
