Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 117 See you in the next story...

Standing before the majestic mountain, Shen Anzhi walked with his sword drawn, his expression cold and alert.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a tea stall not far away.

There were three people in the tea stall: a man with a kind face, a woman with a gentle and graceful demeanor, and a child beside them who was innocent and adorable.

"Boss, a pot of tea, please."

After exchanging glances with the woman, the man nervously stepped forward to pour tea: "Guest, sir..."

"By the way, do you have any wine? Fill it up for me." Shen Anzhi took the demon-slaying gourd that was flickering from his waist.

Seeing this, the woman beside him quickly stepped forward to steady the man, saying, "Sir, yes, yes, right away."

After saying that, he turned around to get some wine, and didn't forget to pick up the child who was playing nearby.

"Please sit down too." Shen Anzhi slowly picked up his teacup.

The man remained apprehensive, looked around, and then sat down opposite Shen Anzhi.

"Dao, fellow Daoist, ah, do you, do you need anything else?" The man's voice trembled slightly.

Shen Anzhi stared intently at the man, her eyes devoid of anger, yet the man felt as if he wanted to disappear into a hole.

"Sigh... do you think the Sichuan and Chongqing region is far away?"

Faced with Shen Anzhi's sudden topic, the man looked at the woman beside him. Seeing this, the woman quickly took the wine and pushed the man away, complaining, "You're useless. Go and get some dishes for the guests."

"Oh, oh, oh." The man seemed to understand, nodded repeatedly, and left.

Shen Anzhi's gaze fell on the woman, as if waiting for an answer.

The woman looked at the demon-slaying gourd on the table with great fear, her hands constantly fidgeting with her clothes buttons: "Guest, sir, Mount Shu, we've heard of it, it's very, very far away, we've never been there, we've only heard people say that there are many immortal cultivators there."

Seeing that Shen Anzhi did not speak but only drank tea, he continued, "The land of Bashu has been full of mystery since ancient times, and we have heard many strange and wonderful stories about this place."

"I've heard that there are many demons in the Sichuan and Chongqing region, because it's a good place for cultivation," Shen Anzhi said calmly.

The woman was at a loss for words, and she stood up somewhat fearfully.

Just then, the man returned, carrying a plate with a few wild fruits on it.

"You, you, you, are you out of your mind? What are you doing with those wild fruits instead of meat?" The woman finally couldn't hold back anymore. She felt that her man had no sense at all, so she scolded him.

The man looked at Shen An innocently and then said to the woman with a wronged expression, "We, we only have this. This is a spiritual fruit that I picked on the mountain. This, this, this..." Shen An waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, wild fruit is very good, very good."

After saying that, Shen Anzhi opened a wild fruit, and the kernel was indeed sweet and delicious.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but she still glanced at the man with worried eyes from time to time.

“Woman, heroine, we eat this every day, you…” The man finally spoke, but his voice was still trembling.

"Very good, very good." After saying that, Shen Anzhi poured all the wine the woman had brought into the Demon-Pairing Gourd. At this moment, the Demon-Pairing Gourd flickered even more intensely, like an alarm or a spirit snake inside the pottery gourd.

"Do you know why this gourd is flashing? It's telling me there's a demon!" Shen Anzhi suddenly asked.

The woman slowly got up and leaned against the man. The child beside her also ran over quickly, his expression showing a hint of unease, but also a sense of confusion about the future.

Shen Anzhi broke the silence first, her voice steady and powerful: "Although you are transformed from demons, you disguise yourselves as humans, so you must yearn for human life. So, what is your vision of the future?"

The man lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We...we have wandered in this world for a long time. Seeing that humans have kinship and warmth, and have goals to pursue, we are filled with envy. We also long for a stable life, no longer to be driven away."

The woman was trembling all over as she continued, "We know that our identity as monsters makes us feared, but we never intended to harm anyone. We only hope to find a place to stay so that our children can grow up safely."

The child clung tightly to the woman, his eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future.

Anzhi listened to their words and was deeply moved. She said slowly, "The future is not predetermined. If you are truly inclined to do good, you may be able to find your own path. But you must remember that once you do evil, you will surely be punished by Heaven."

The family that the monster had transformed into nodded repeatedly, and hope ignited in their eyes.

"Alright, I'm leaving. I don't have any money on me, so consider this drink on my behalf."

After speaking, Shen Anzhi held her long sword, her posture as upright as a pine tree, her gaze fixed firmly on the distant Shu Mountain.

A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and she squinted her eyes slightly, feeling the caress of the wind.

The longsword gleamed coldly in the setting sun, as if telling of its past glory and honor.

Anzhi took firm steps and walked forward step by step.

Her figure appeared exceptionally lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun, yet it was full of power.

Every step was taken with determination and courage, marching towards the land of Bashu.

As the sun gradually set, a magnificent sunset glow appeared in the sky.

Accompanied by the sunset, Shen Anzhi continued her journey, her figure like that of a solitary warrior...
