So it turns out I'm the demon!

Bai Xiang stared wide-eyed at her clear almond-shaped eyes.

Former princess of the Mirror Kingdom, nominal empress of the Great Qing Dynasty, a powerful figure holding the position of emperor and empress.

I was confessed to?

And I even got trapped in a broken storage ring?

Is this guy crazy?

She tried to pull her hand away, but the man grabbed her other hand as well.

Jiang Mu said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

When choosing a wife, one should choose one who can manage the household well.

Being pretty is useless, especially since their line of work often involves going out to slay demons, so they need a stable home even more.

Baixiang: "..."

She tried to use sign language, but the man held her hands tightly, and she couldn't forcefully shake them off with her star power.

I'm really afraid I might accidentally kill this guy.

"Don't worry, I'm someone who respects the other person's wishes."

Jiang Mu said earnestly, "If you just say you don't want to, I definitely won't force you."

Cypress: (︶︹︺)

"I'll count to three. If you don't object, we'll get married tomorrow. We'll consummate our marriage tonight."

Jiang Mu gripped her hand tightly and began to count down, "Three...two..."

The woman suddenly opened her cherry-like mouth and bit down on his wrist.

What the hell!

Jiang Mu instinctively withdrew her hand.

By the time he came to his senses, Bai Xiang had already gotten up and walked quickly out of the hall, her skirt fluttering as she disappeared from sight.

Jiang Mu's face darkened as she looked at the teeth marks on her wrist.

"Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

Clearly, this male god was rejected by the plain-looking fairy.

That's incredibly disrespectful.

I'll expose you sooner or later!

……

inside the house.

Bai Xiang leaned against the cold door panel, looking somewhat dazed.

She raised her hand and, in the dim candlelight, stared blankly at the hand that had just been held.

The warmth of the man's palm still seemed to linger there.

It felt like it was branded onto my skin.

Logically speaking, she has always been in a very peaceful state of mind.

Pearl of the Mirror Kingdom, the most beautiful woman in the world, Empress of Daqing... Under these grand and heavy titles, she had heard too many praises and admirations.

But none of them could stir even the slightest ripple in her heart.

Like willow catkins floating in the air, they scatter with a gust of wind and never settle down.

But this time it's strange.

It was as if a tiny hook had gently scratched at the tip of her heart.

Why is this happening?

She sat in front of the dressing table, completely baffled.

But when her gaze fell upon the ordinary face reflected in the bronze mirror, the woman suddenly felt a sense of realization.

Yes.

She once possessed a stunningly beautiful face that could bring ruin to a country, and she found the most gorgeous words in the world to be nothing special.

But now she has an ordinary appearance and is even mute.

In this situation, someone actually confessed their feelings?

Especially since the young master Jiang who confessed his feelings is a very outstanding man.

He has no shortage of girls who like him.

"It seems that even without my looks, I have enough charm to attract others, huh."

The woman felt a little smug.

A smile touched the corners of her lips, and her eyes in the mirror suddenly came to life.

Her eyes sparkled with charm.

The thought of him suddenly proposing to her gave Bai Xiang a headache.

She didn't dislike Jiang Mu.

During the time they spent together, he would take it for granted that he would order her around, hand her a glass of warm water when she was tired, chat with her about interesting things he had heard outside, and help her tend the vegetable garden during breaks from practicing martial arts...

There was no flattery, no obsession.

There is only one kind of familiar, down-to-earth way of getting along.

This interaction brought her a long-lost sense of security, a feeling she had longed for, as she was used to the loneliness and solitude of being at the top.

Even if I feel at ease, I can't stay here to have his baby.

After all, there was a world of difference between them in terms of social status, unspeakable secrets, and a future destined to be bumpy.

How could they possibly be together?

In short,

Bai Xiang sighed, "Having a baby is absolutely out of the question!"

The woman's eyes were resolute.

At most, I'll let him touch my hand.

Anyway, I've already touched it.

As long as she holds firm to her principles, she won't be considered taken advantage of.

Bai Xiang's gaze fell on the storage ring in her hand. She wrinkled her delicate nose and snorted softly.

"You think you can marry me with just a broken storage ring? Dream on!"

Although he was cursing, his eyes were still slightly curved, filled with a bright light.

She gently stroked the ring.

I must say, it actually looks pretty good on.

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Open the door!"

It was Jiang Mu's voice, and she sounded very angry.

Bai Xiang frowned slightly. Was this guy going to confess his feelings again? Was he really that persistent?

To be honest, this frequency can easily become annoying.

Bai Xiang has made up her mind.

This time we must firmly refuse, lest they become even more outrageous.

open the door.

Jiang Mu stretched out her hand: "Give me back the betrothal gifts... no, give me back the ring!"

"?"

The woman was taken aback and slowly clenched her fists.

Shrimp heads!

……

After snatching the engagement ring back from the woman, Shrimp Head returned to his house dejectedly.

He didn't care when his first marriage proposal failed.

It was just a passing fancy anyway.

Hmm, whatever.

Deduct her wages next month!

After a quick wash, Jiang Mu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the spot on her arm where the birthmark had disappeared.

The proposal to Bai Xiang was indeed a spur-of-the-moment decision.

What bothered him was why he had become so much more passionate and lustful.

Before he traveled through time, he was actually quite laid-back.

He has no interest in anything related to lust, which leads people around him to jokingly call him a reincarnation of a holy monk.

But after traveling through time, he seemed to come alive all at once.

His emotions have returned to normal.

Desire also arose.

It felt like everything was becoming whole again.

"Forget it, let's focus on slaying demons and improving our cultivation first. I'm not short of women anyway, I can marry a whole bunch of them later."

Jiang Mu thought to himself, "When my wives give birth, I'll have Bai Xiang deliver each of them."

Exhausted from slaying demons all day, he quickly drifted off to sleep.

In a daze, he had a dream.

In his dream, he was lying in a coffin, but only half of his body was visible.

It felt like being sawed in half.

Then his body kept getting smaller and smaller, until finally it was shaped from half a body into a tiny baby.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of slender, white hands lifted him up.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."

The woman spoke.

Jiang Mu tried to see who the other person was.

The figure was graceful and familiar, yet her face was blurry, shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

Soon, the dream vanished.

The scene changed abruptly.

He stood in a pool of blood, holding a long sword, with countless demon corpses piled up in front of him, like a mountain.

Just then, a cold voice came from behind:

"Brother, are you going to kill me too?"

Jiang Mu suddenly turned around.

puff!

The next moment, a pale hand pierced straight into his chest!

"A family... should always be together."

-

Jiang Mu suddenly sat up in bed.

My pajamas were soaked with cold sweat, and my heart was still pounding wildly in my chest.

He was panting heavily as he looked around.

The room was pitch black.

Only the cool moonlight filtering in from the window spilled onto the ground.

"Phew... What a lousy dream."

Jiang Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed under his breath, "Damn vixen, I'll fuck you to death sooner or later!"

After calming himself down, he lay back down, ready to go back to sleep.

However, just as he lay down, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the roof beam above his head.

A petite figure was sitting on the crossbeam.

The moonlight that shone through illuminated half of her face.

Her skin was snow-white, her lips were crimson, her eyes shone with an eerie light, and a sinister smile played at the corners of her mouth.

"Brother, have you missed me?"

Swish!

Without any hesitation, Jiang Mu suddenly sprang into action.

The long sword was drawn.

The blade flashed like a blood-red ribbon, tearing through the darkness and carrying a fierce, murderous aura as it slashed directly at the petite figure on the beam.

This strike was swift, precise, and ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Kill my sister to prove my path, today is the day!
