As she spoke, she actually pretended to get up and leave.

It was at this moment that Chi Junlin reached out and grabbed her.

Wenren Xuan seemed to have been waiting for this moment, a barely perceptible smug expression appearing on his face.

But turning around, she asked with an innocent expression, "What's wrong?"

Chi Junlin was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you really Wenren Tianxia's sister?"

"if not?"

"..."

Chi Junlin really wanted to ask her what she was trying to do.

Because back in the Never-Sleeping Tower, Chi Junlin had witnessed firsthand the way Wenren Xuan tortured and killed people...

This clearly demonstrates that the girl never had the slightest intention of repenting.

Regardless of whether she is Ye Qiancao or not, her past as a daughter of the Demonic Sect has never changed.

"Ah, right."

Wenren Xuan suddenly remembered something and looked at Chi Junlin with a smile.

"Speaking of which, you haven't praised me yet!"

Chapter 284 Woman, You're Playing with Fire

Chi Junlin was slightly puzzled when he heard Wenren Xuan's words.

He then asked, "What did I say to you?"

Wenren Xuan smiled and said, "When we were in the Never-Night Tower, I not only didn't cause any trouble, but I also helped you a lot. Shouldn't you praise me?"

Chi Junlin felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.

However, what Wenren Xuan said does make some sense.

At least in this bandit suppression operation, she was indeed a great help.

So at this point, all I could do was nod and say, "You did a really good job this time, very good, great."

Although Chi Junlin only gave a few perfunctory words at this moment, Wenren Xuan was still very happy.

She had her hands behind her back, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

Then he asked, "Will I get a reward too?"

"A reward? You want a reward?"

Chi Junlin chuckled.

"Yes, why can't I have it?"

As Wenren Xuan spoke, she leaned over and whispered with a smile in Chi Junlin's ear, "I know, Xiao Liuli didn't do anything, she just stayed obediently in the Hui residence, and you rewarded her for it."

I saw it... she sneaked into your room..."

Chi Junlin was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Wenren Xuan before saying, "You..."

Wenren Xuan immediately added, "You didn't want Di Shanshan and Yan Sijun... to know that you secretly rewarded Liuli, did you?"

Chi Junlin immediately gave Wenren Xuan a strange look.

No, you're threatening me now?

Chi Junlin was slightly displeased, and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Then what reward do you want?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a fragrant breeze caress her face.

Wenren Xuan had already thrown herself into Chi Junlin's arms, fiercely capturing her lips, pressing her down on the bed, and passionately kissing her.

Chi Junlin panicked slightly and quickly pushed Wenren Xuan away, saying, "What are you doing..."

Wenren Xuan licked her wet lips and stared intently at Chi Junlin, saying, "I want this reward. I also want you to pamper and love me."

"This is the only one that won't do..."

"why?"

Wenren Xuan's face immediately showed dissatisfaction. "Why can Tong Yan do it? Why can Wei Ziqing do it? Why can Hui Zhilan and Hui Zhipeng do it? Why can't I?"

Chi Junlin hesitated slightly.

Wenren Xuan then said, "Is it because of Wenren Tianxia?"

Chi Junlin was stunned.

Wenren Xuan stared intently at Chi Junlin and said softly, "I don't care, I just want you to like me too. Otherwise, I'll tell Wenren Tianxia that you've done it with all of them, except with Wenren Tianxia... um..."

Before Wenren Xuan could finish speaking, Chi Junlin covered her mouth.

Then Chi Junlin looked at her and said, "Wenren Tianxia is different. I don't want to treat her this way..."

Wenren Xuan, I'll say it again. If you really are her sister, you should consider Wenren Tianxia's well-being.

You shouldn't have made her angry, and you shouldn't have...

At this moment, Wenren Xuan raised her hand and moved Chi Junlin's arm away.

He added, "I won't make her angry, and I'll treat her like an older sister. But I want you! Chi Junlin, I've got you!"

Seeing her like this, Chi Junlin couldn't help but feel a strange sensation.

In the past, Chi Junlin was always the proactive and dominant party.

This was the first time someone had ever actively wanted to "possess" her.

At this moment, Chi Junlin felt a nameless fire rise in his heart.

She pinched Wenren Xuan's soft chin and said to her, "You're playing with fire, do you know that?"

Wenren Xuan stared into Chi Junlin's eyes and replied, "Burn me to death!"

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin stopped treating her gently.

He turned over and pinned Wenren Xuan to the bed.

He grabbed her by the neck and kissed her.

This harsh treatment, ironically, made her feel satisfied, and she wept bitterly.

Before long, a soft giggle came from inside the room.

Alluring like a demon, ethereal like a ghost.

-

A little later, Liuli and the other three children returned from outside.

Then they saw Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan resting in the tea room.

Chi Junlin's expression remained unchanged as he sipped his tea.

Wenren Xuan looked at the four of them with a smile, his face extremely rosy, as if he had gained some kind of great satisfaction.

Liuli and the others were unaware of the subtle change in atmosphere between the two. Instead, they had just returned from the execution ground after watching the execution of the former prefectural magistrate, Mao Qingyan, and their faces were extremely grim.

Just as Chi Junlin had previously thought, Liuli and the other three were still too young, and the scene of the skinning punishment was too cruel for them.

After their initial curiosity subsided, what followed was the sight of Mao Qingyan, stripped of his human skin, rolling on the ground. This was undoubtedly too shocking for them.

The image of a hairless, red, fat pig writhing and howling on the ground, dragging its enormous entrails, was truly shocking.

It's the kind of scene that, once seen, will cause nightmares for several nights in a row.

The negative impact on children is immeasurable!

Seeing the four people's ashen faces, Chi Junlin couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong? Weren't you clamoring to skin them this morning? Why are you all silent now? Did you regret it?"

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, all four of them wore bitter expressions.

Di Shanshan said with extreme embarrassment, "Who...who would have thought that Hui Ziheng would save us seats in the first row? You could see his veins and intestines so clearly. I'll never forget this for the rest of my life..."

Yan Sijun, her face full of black lines, muttered under her breath, "Red... yellow... white..."

"Stop talking... I'm seeing images in my head again... Get out, get out!"

With tears in her eyes, Liuli nestled into Chi Junlin's arms, her face pale, and said, "Senior sister, I'm scared... I don't want to sleep alone tonight..."

Even Beidou stood there with a conflicted expression, refusing to eat her snacks.

Just then, Wenren Tianxia came over from the courtyard, yawning and saying sleepily, "Back so early? Why didn't you stay out and play a little longer?"

She looked like she had sobered up and had just gotten out of bed.

Upon hearing Wenren Tianxia's words, the four exchanged glances, their expressions revealing a reluctance to speak.

"What happened to them?"

Wenren Tianxia then looked at Chi Junlin and asked.

Chi Junlin smiled and replied, "Perhaps he saw something unclean and hasn't wanted to eat meat for a long time."

Wenren Tianxia stroked his chin, looking somewhat puzzled.

But then he remembered something and said, "Oh right, Sister Hui just told us to prepare dinner. Beidou, we have your favorite roast suckling pig today."

Upon hearing the words "roast suckling pig," the four girls' faces immediately darkened.

Then she immediately covered her mouth and ran outside.

A short while later, a violent vomiting sound was heard from outside.

Wenren Tianxia looked puzzled and asked Chi Junlin, "What's wrong now?"

Chi Junlin, holding his teacup, chuckled, "Perhaps the words 'suckling pig' have left him with a psychological trauma..."

Chapter 285 The Enchantress

That night.

Although the major problem of the Xiang River has been resolved, there are no other issues to worry about in the short term.

However, Chi Junlin always felt that something was missing.

When she reviewed the bandit suppression campaign in Dongting Xiangshui County, she felt as if something was pushing her forward.

To be honest, the Dongting Lake floods originally seemed to have nothing to do with me.

But one step after another, Huifu and Chi Junlin's group had increasingly serious friction with the Dongting Water Gang.

Even if none of these things had happened, the bandit suppression would still have been carried out.

However, it will not be implemented in such a hasty and urgent manner.

what is it then?

Did I miss something?

It was late at night and all was quiet.

Outside the city gate of Xiangshui County.

On the wide official road near Dongting Lake.

This is the place where Chi Junlin and his party entered the city via this route.

It was here that they had their first conflict with the Water Gang.

Wenren Tianxia made a ruthless move and executed a group of Water Gang members.

Now that the river gangs have been wiped out, the fishermen here can live and work in peace and contentment. They no longer have to worry about river bandits setting up roadblocks and seizing 10% of their goods every time they pass through.

For the people of Xiangshui County today, life can finally be described as stable and peaceful.

There were no natural disasters or man-made calamities, and the corvée labor and taxes were light.

Only days like these offer hope and something to look forward to.

However, not all the people benefited from the suppression of the bandits.

There are also people who were previously harmed by bandits, and their wounds have not yet healed.

At this time, there were even more panicked figures near the official road, wandering around aimlessly in the darkness of night.

It seems to be searching for something that, once lost, can never be regained.
