Chapter 37 The witch tastes really good

Lin Fengmian awkwardly scratched his nose and shook his head, saying, "No, Junior Sister Xia, why are you here?"

Xia Yunxi looked around, and he quickly moved aside, opening the door for her. "Come in, let's talk inside."

Looking at Xia Yunxi, who was as delicate and charming as a ghostly lotus, Lin Fengmian couldn't help but feel a little restless. He hugged her from behind with a smile, "Why did you come?"

"Senior Brother, I..."

Before Xia Yunxi could finish her sentence, Lin Fengmian silenced her with a kiss. She responded clumsily, and as they kissed, the spiritual energy she had been cultivating was slowly absorbed by him.

Without realizing it, they ended up on the bed. Regaining her senses, she pushed him away slightly, signaling that she had something to say.

Lin Fengmian was puzzled, and Xia Yunxi lowered her voice, saying, "Senior Brother, I came here to tell you, don't think about leaving the Hehuan Sect just yet."

"Why?" Lin Fengmian's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Is it because of Dong Gaoyi...?"

Xia Yunxi nodded and said, "I just found out from Senior Sister. There's a problem with the fasting pills you've been taking."

"They contain a 'child gu' worm. Using the 'mother gu' worm, they can easily track you. If you're away from the mother gu for three days, the child gu will activate, and you'll die."

A cold chill washed over Lin Fengmian, leaving him frozen in place.

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have trusted anything from these demonesses!

Xia Yunxi lay on the bed, her beautiful eyes sparkling in the night. She softly said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I'll find a way to dispel the gu."

Lin Fengmian sighed and nodded. "I see. Thank you, Junior Sister."

Xia Yunxi hummed in response, then nervously shifted her body, saying, "I should go now, Senior Brother, before the Senior Sisters find out."

At that moment, Lin Fengmian had lost any romantic thoughts. He got up from the bed, watching her leave with a heavy heart.

After she left, he sat in silence at the table, a sense of despair washing over him.

Is there really no escape from the Hehuan Sect?

"What is Junior Brother thinking about?"

A soft, intoxicating fragrance filled the air, and Lin Fengmian heard the gentle, sultry voice of Liu Mei in his ear.

Startled, Lin Fengmian realized that Liu Mei had somehow appeared in front of him, watching him with amused interest.

"When did you get here?"

Liu Mei smiled lightly, "Just now. Why are you so flustered, Junior Brother?"

She leaned closer, sniffing him. Her delicate nose twitched slightly, and she covered her mouth with a laugh.

"Oh, so you were sneaking around with someone. This scent... It's Junior Sister Xia, isn't it? Did you succeed?"

Lin Fengmian quickly changed the subject. "Why are you here? Are you addicted now?"

Liu Mei giggled, "Yes, but before that, I have something fun to show you."

Before Lin Fengmian could react, she pulled him out of the room and flew toward the city outskirts. Startled, he quickly held onto her tightly.

Liu Mei's flying speed was swift, far faster than usual. She leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Junior Brother, open your eyes. It's not as scary as you think."

Lin Fengmian opened his eyes and looked down. Below them, the entire city of Dongluo was illuminated, its thousands of lights shining brilliantly against the night sky, creating a spectacular view.

Hidden in the night sky, the two of them remained unnoticed by the people below, who were too busy to look up.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Lin Fengmian nodded honestly. With the curfew not yet in effect, the bustling streets and bright lights below were indeed a grand sight.

Liu Mei chuckled softly and flew them through the sky. In a dreamy tone, she said, "After seeing this, do you still want to go back to being a mere mortal?"

Lin Fengmian fell silent. He looked up at Liu Mei, whose clothes fluttered in the wind, her beauty ethereal like that of an immortal. He found himself momentarily lost in thought.

Yes, after witnessing the wonders of the immortal world, could he really go back to being a mundane mortal?

Just like today, he realized he had lost interest in the City Lord's wife and was instead drawn to women like Liu Mei.

He was never someone who could stay out of trouble. Otherwise, how could he have been deceived into joining the Hehuan Sect?

Wouldn't it have been better to stay at home, marry multiple wives, and live the life of a pampered playboy?

Perhaps, deep down, he craved excitement.

Liu Mei remained silent as well. They flew through the sky until they reached the outskirts of the city.

This wasn't the direction of the main road. What lay ahead was a vast expanse of dark forest, with a gentle breeze that felt refreshing.

"Are we going after Dong Gaoyi?" Lin Fengmian asked.

"Smart. Since you're my little troublemaker, I thought I'd bring you to see his fate," Liu Mei chuckled softly.

Lin Fengmian felt his heart sink.

Soon, Liu Mei landed in the forest, gesturing for Lin Fengmian to keep quiet.

They slowly approached the sound of Dong Gaoyi's screams and Wang Yanran's laughter.

"Junior Brother Dong, I've been so good to you, yet you tried to leave without a word. I had to search high and low for you," Wang Yanran teased.

Dong Gaoyi was desperately clawing at his face and body. Beneath his skin, it seemed as though countless thin worms were crawling, causing his flesh to ripple grotesquely.

The once-handsome scholar's face was now contorted with bulging veins, his entire body covered in bloody scratches. He continued to beg for mercy.

"Senior Sister, I was wrong. I was wrong. I just wanted to... see my parents. Please, spare me."

Wang Yanran squatted down with a sweet smile. "Oh, I can't do that. We've already agreed to let you go, but we can't take you back."

"Senior Sister, please, spare me. I'll be your servant for life, just let me go!"

Dong Gaoyi had scratched himself so badly that his flesh was mangled beyond recognition, yet he continued clawing at his skin.

Wang Yanran frowned slightly, "I'd love to spare you, but you're so ugly now. I don't like that."

"You bitch! If you have any guts, kill me quickly! You slut who's been with a thousand men! I..."

Hearing Dong Gaoyi's curses and watching the gentle Wang Yanran torturing him with a smile, Lin Fengmian closed his eyes.

Liu Mei leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Junior Brother, you wouldn't be thinking of leaving too, would you?"

Lin Fengmian opened his eyes and saw her smiling face. He suddenly remembered that this wasn't an immortal goddess, but a demoness.

He reached out and pulled her closer, whispering into her ear, "How could I leave? I could never bear to."

He lightly bit her earlobe, grinning wickedly. "After all, the taste of a demoness is truly something special!"

Liu Mei's eyes sparkled with surprise as she looked at him, noticing the excitement hidden beneath his fear. It was as if she was seeing him for the first time.

Suddenly, she burst into laughter. "Junior Brother, it turns out we're the same kind of person. No wonder I like you so much."

The next day, Dong Gaoyi's disappearance didn't cause much of a stir. The official explanation from the City Lord's mansion was that he had left in the night.

Lin Fengmian woke up feeling a little dazed, yawning as he got out of bed.

Last night, Liu Mei had made him watch the entire event, leaving him pale and on the verge of vomiting.

He now had a new understanding of Wang Yanran, realizing that she was nothing short of a demon.

When Liu Mei returned later, she even teasingly asked if he wanted to "get closer" again. But after witnessing the horror of the previous night, Lin Fengmian had righteously declined.

No way. If Wang Yanran was that terrifying, Liu Mei must be even worse.

In the end, fear had triumphed over desire.
