Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

at night.

Chen Nian was sitting at the table absorbing the demon core he had just obtained.

A golden pill floated in front of him, and wisps of energy were entering his body.

Suddenly, a soft, sweet moan came from the bed next to him, breaking Chen Nian's focused state.

Turning his head, he saw Yu'er opening her sleepy eyes and staring at him expectantly.

"What's wrong, Yu'er? Did I wake you up?"

"Brother, why aren't you sleeping...?"

"I have something to do. Yu'er, you should go to sleep. Don't worry about your brother."

"No way! My brother has to sleep with me."

"They're here."

Chen Nian thought to himself, "Why bother with the Hook Eight? I'm not practicing it anymore!"

Lying in bed, Yu'er smiled and hugged Chen Nian's arm, leaning against him like a spoiled kitten.

Chen Nian thought to himself, "Does this fox demon have to be so alluring?"

Moreover, this was different from the seductive flirtation; it was the innocent coquettishness of a young girl. Yu'er's eyes were so clear that there was no impurity, making it impossible for anyone to feel any aversion.

Suddenly, I felt a warm touch on my ear.

Looking down, I saw Yu'er gently licking her ear, a smile on her lips as if she had successfully pulled off a prank.

"Stop being naughty, Yu'er, go to sleep."

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Nian firmly adhered to his principles and would not do anything improper to Yu'er, nor would he take advantage of the fox's vulnerability.

The next day.

The sun was shining brightly in the early morning.

Chen Nian opened the door and breathed in the fresh air, intending to come over and check on Xiao Bai to see how her injuries were, since she had been injured while protecting him.

"Little White, Little Green?"

He called out twice outside the courtyard, but no one opened the door, so Chen Nian went inside by himself.

I knocked on the door twice, but no one answered.

It turned out that Xiaoqing had gone out to buy groceries, and in order not to disturb her sister's healing, she specially set up a magical barrier to isolate her from the outside world.

Unable to hear or see.

As luck would have it, Xiaobai had just finished her cultivation, tied her clothes, and was about to go out for some fresh air.

The moment she waved her hand to dispel the magical barrier, Chen Nian appeared right in front of her!

The two were extremely close together.

"Young Master Chen..."

Caught off guard, Xiaobai instinctively took two steps back, but lost her balance and staggered, about to fall.

Chen Nian quickly stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Xiao Bai's slender waist.

"Are you alright?"

"N-nothing..."

Xiao Bai blushed slightly, but didn't run away from Chen Nian's arms. She just shyly looked away.

"Oh dear~~~~ It seems I've come back at the wrong time!"

Qing'er leaned against the door frame with annoyance, her arms crossed in front of her chest, rolling her eyes in exasperation.

"Qing'er, you're back?"

Xiao Bai quickly steadied himself and kept his distance from Chen Nian.

"She has returned, but she shouldn't have. Despite centuries of cultivation, she remains light and agile, easily falling over. So endearing, I doubt any man in the world could resist her!"

Xiao Bai sensed the sarcasm in her sister's words and felt both annoyed and annoyed.

"Qing'er!"

"Don't blame me for asking, but Chen Nian, what's your relationship with that fox demon that you two are so close? Last night I climbed onto the roof and saw you two sleeping in each other's arms through the cracks in the tiles, you were so intimate!"

Chen Nian countered, "Is my relationship with Yu'er that important to you?"

"It's not important to me, but it's important to my sister..."

"Alright, Qing'er!"

The young man's face turned as red as an apple, and he forbade Qing'er from continuing to talk nonsense, otherwise he would be so ashamed and angry that he would die.

"Alright, alright, I won't say it then."

Xiaoqing continued, "I went to the city just now and found that many people were sick, weak and pale. There were already many people queuing outside the clinic."

"Is something fishy going on?"

"Yes, it's said that the medicine is a cure-all, and its price has skyrocketed. Fifty taels of silver are needed for one dose, and the clinics are making a fortune. So I went to investigate, and guess what?"

"Those people aren't sick at all, they're poisoned! Someone is poisoning the wells in the city and then selling the poison at high prices to make money."

"Such a thing really happened?"

"Don't worry, sister. I haven't stretched my muscles in a long time either. Tonight, I'll go and find the culprit who poisoned me!"

Chen Nian smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Heroine Qing is so kind and righteous, I admire her greatly."

"Don't give me that. You can use all those sweet words on my sister, but they won't work on me."

"Qing'er, you..."

"Okay, okay, here, these are meat buns I bought at the morning market, for you guys."

Chen Nian took the meat bun, his gaze surprised.

"It's been checked, there's no poison, you can eat it without worry."

After saying that, as if to verify, Qing'er took out a meat bun and took a big bite.

"Haha, thank you!"

Chen Nian could sense the change in Xiao Qing's attitude towards him.

Before, I was wary and distrustful, but after last night, her attitude became noticeably more friendly.

.......

That night.

Xiaoqing transformed into a small green snake and sneaked into the pharmacy, where she happened to witness the scene of dividing the spoils.

A shifty-eyed Taoist priest sat in the chair, and everyone in the pharmacy bowed and scraped before him with utmost respect.

"Thanks to the Taoist's miraculous elixirs, we've become truly wealthy!"

"Rest assured, Taoist priest, seventy percent of this silver is yours. You are our second parent, our reincarnated god of wealth!"

Xiaoqing immediately recognized the Taoist's true identity.

Rat Demon!

It was by poisoning the city and then producing the antidote, plundering the people's money.

Very well, today I will punish you heartless wolves.

Outside the pharmacy, countless small snakes began to slowly swarm in from all directions. Some were on the walls, some on the bluestone slabs, and some on the roof.

Silently... slowly crawled into the room.

"Yes, there's a snake!"

"Ah!!! So many snakes, so many snakes!!"

"Help!!!"

The people in the pharmacy were terrified on the spot, and the woman even fainted.

Seeing that things were not going well, the rat demon immediately fled for its life.

"Oh, so you know how to run now?" The dashing woman in green blocked the rat demon's path.

"Snake demon...we have no grudge against each other, why have you come to ruin my plans!"

"Is it enough that your great-aunt doesn't approve?"

"You nosy, meddlesome woman."

"Enough talk, take this!"

Although this rat demon could also transform into human form, it was no match for Xiao Qing. It was beaten and injured, vomiting blood, in just a few moves.

Knowing he was no match for them, he transformed into countless rats and fled in all directions.

Xiaoqing couldn't tell which one was real, so she had to give up.

"I doubt it will dare to cause any more trouble."

.......

"My lord, there's a demon! There's a monster!!"

"Last night, countless snakes came into my house!"

"They were so densely packed, they scared me to death! There must be a demon in Hangzhou!"

The next morning, the owner of the pharmacy cried and pleaded with the local government to file a complaint.

"Hangzhou has indeed been quite turbulent lately, with dark clouds looming over the city at times, and villagers being poisoned at others, in addition to what you've said."

"The higher-ups have already contacted Jinshan Temple. It is said that a great monk named Fahai is on his way to Hangzhou to exorcise the demon."
