Chapter 386: The Demon's Gratitude (IX)

Su Li had put too much faith in the original owner's memories.

From those memories, within the entire Capital, aside from the Carp Spirit stirring up trouble, he hadn't seen a second demon in existence.

Thus, Su Li had overlooked this crucial point.

Their absence didn't necessarily mean a lack of existence.

Now, due to Su Li's intervention, many things had changed; at the very least, the Carp Spirit's mother, who had never appeared in the original memories, had shown up. Therefore, the emergence of other unexpected changes was both natural and possible.

Without dwelling on these thoughts, Su Li strode into the house and saw Shi Jiaojiao, her expression frantic, tightly clutching the already ruined yellow talisman in her palm.

Upon closer inspection, a corner of the yellow talisman was scorched black, useless now.

But Shi Jiaojiao clung to the talisman paper as if clutching a lifeline, as though this would provide her with an unprecedented sense of security.
