Capítulo 1439: Chapter 708: Heroine Li Wields Her Sword Against the Heavens (Part 2)
Outside, it was pouring rain, yet not a single drop touched her as she stood, her plain white dress showing nothing peculiar, but her aura felt completely different from the young disciples led by Bai Zhanji.
Chi Wenyan hurriedly descended the steps, quietly speculating about the woman’s background, and bowed, “An Immortal gracing my humble abode, Chi Wenyan failed to welco you properly, my apologies, my apologies.”
The woman in white looked around the banquet and seed to understand sothing, nodding, “It seems that fellow cultivators have already accepted the commission from Yundu Villa. It seems I am ddling unnecessarily.”
Seeing that the woman in white was about to take her leave, Chi Wenyan quickly stepped forward to invite her to stay:
“Esteed Immortal, your words are too severe. The threat of the Evil Spirit in my humble abode hasn’t been resolved. If there is one more to help, we will feel all the more at ease, won’t we?
Moreover, with the rain pouring down tonight, why not stay at our humble abode for the night? Rest assured, should the Evil Spirit of Yundu Villa be completely eradicated,
I would be willing to pay you another reward, so you won’t return empty-handed.”
After a mont of contemplation, the woman in white simply nodded slightly, saying, “If that’s the case, I will trouble you.”
Chi Wenyan’s face lit up with joy as he promptly arranged for a servant to prepare a room for the woman to rest.
Having settled everything, Chi Wenyan checked the food box to ensure that the at stew inside was still warm, then relaxed and headed to his wife’s room with the food box in hand.
Raindrops pattered against the leaves, rustling softly, and in the darkness, it seed as if soone was sobbing quietly in the rain.
Suddenly, a mournful flute sound erged from an unknown direction, the rumble of thunder descended from the vast sky, the stormy winds blew the rain, and a faint scent of decay lingered in the air.
Chi Wenyan walked through the hallway of the elegant building with a lantern, but the fla inside suddenly went out.
He shivered, his nose twitching slightly, as if sensing sothing, and suddenly turned back, only to see a long shadow disappearing swiftly around the corner of the attic.
His expression darkened slightly, and he quickened his pace to his wife’s room, pushing the door open and entering, finally breathing a sigh of relief upon seeing his wife lying safe and sound on the bed.
Turning to close the door and secure the latch, he finally relaxed, walked to the bedside, opened the food box, took out the steaming at stew, and sat down beside the bed.
His wife Wuniang suddenly awoke from her slumber, abruptly opening her eyes.
“Boom!!!”
A loud thunderclap resounded, and the blinding lightning illuminated the night, making the room as bright as day for a fleeting mont.
In the flash of lightning and thunder, a pair of greenish-blue eyes shone with an eerie, srizing glow.
The young lady’s throat emitted a beast-like growl, her long hair fluttered wildly, and the towel stuffed in her mouth instantly burned to ashes, four sharp tusks gleaming with a cold glint amidst her lips and teeth.
She was no longer in human form.
If at this mont, Li Jiujiu and her fellow cultivators were present, they would be shocked by the scene unfolding before them.
It turned out that the Evil Spirit they intended to eliminate was not the child in the young lady’s womb, but the lady herself.
From the beginning, there was no demon infant seizing life to kill its host; it was the mother herself who was the Demon!
The demon energy Li Jiujiu sensed within the young lady was not from the child in her womb; the demon infant’s energy rging with the host was nothing but an illusion!
“Wuniang, at this ti, you must be hungry, right? Co, I brought you your favorite at stew, my dear wife.
I’m sorry; it’s my fault for being delayed by hosting those cultivators until now. But ah, the at stew is cooked to perfection.”
Despite his wife’s monstrous and terrifying appearance, Chi Wenyan showed no fear. Instead, his gaze carried a hint of morbid fascination and obsession.
He ladled the stew, feeding it to his wife while softly coaxing, “Look at you, if only you had obediently eaten this morning, you wouldn’t have revealed your true form at such a ti, you really worry your husband so much with your lack of self-care.”
Wuniang seed to see sothing extrely disgusting, and she tightly shut her mouth, refusing to eat the contents of the bowl, unconcerned even as her tusks pierced her lips.
She turned her head away, avoiding looking at Chi Wenyan, her limbs struggling violently, her expression extrely agitated and angry.
The spoon in Chi Wenyan’s hand missed its mark, causing the broth to trickle down her chin.
“Oh dear, silly Wuniang, look at you, being so careless, you’ve stained the new clothes your husband bought for you.”
Chi Wenyan smiled warmly, patiently setting down the stew and gently taking out a handkerchief, tenderly wiping the stray broth from his wife’s face.
He gently stroked the top of her head, as if soothing her.
Yet the next mont, his five fingers suddenly clenched tightly, gripping her hair so forcefully that it seed his own finger bones might break.
His face still bore that sa smile, but his eyes now held a hint of ferocious cruelty.
He yanked the young lady’s head back, drawing his face close, his breath brushing against her face, his casual tone sending chills down the spine.
“Don’t struggle. These four ropes binding you may appear ordinary, but they are the Demon-locking Rope borrowed from the Young Master. Bai Zhanji and those fools couldn’t see anything unusual about this bed, so don’t think anyone else can save you either.
How naive, did you think that seeing Li Jiujiu from the Lihe Sect treating you with such kindness and rcy today,
that she might be a rare good person, hoping to find salvation, to find release from her, foolishly thinking she might save this child?”
Chi Wenyan chuckled softly, the scholarly and harmless deanor still lingering around him, his laughter as bright and lively as before.
