So it turns out I'm the demon!

This was the first time Jiang Mu had met that girl.

Regardless of whether the other party has been replaced by a monster, it is best to treat them as an enemy if you are unsure whether they are friend or foe.

In particular, he had several dreams of being killed.

They were all stressed.

Of course, Jiang Mu didn't expect to actually be able to cut him down with a single blow.

The moment the slash was unleashed, the Shadow Anchor was thrown outside the door in advance, preparing a backup plan.

The gleaming blade illuminated the girl's face.

however,

But it stopped abruptly three inches from the girl's face.

Two slender fingers effortlessly pinched the sharp blade.

"My foolish brother..."

The girl tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with an eerie crimson light, a smile playing on her lips. "You've really given me a pleasant surprise. You're much better than that good-for-nothing who only knew how to play with women."

That sound...

Jiang Mu's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly recalled the mysterious figure standing on the tip of his knife in the rain when he was chasing the snake demon in Black Soil Village.

"So it was you?"

His gaze shifted downwards—

Sure enough, those familiar little feet, as tender and smooth as snow, were dangling in the air.

A silver chain swayed gently at her ankle, and her toes were tinged with a faint pink.

(Sorry, I couldn't post the foot picture.)

Bang!

A little foot kicks.

Jiang Mu decisively abandoned his knife and retreated, landing firmly on his feet. He stared coldly at her: "You really aren't Jiang Yuexin."

"Oh?"

The girl toyed with the blood-stained knife in her hand, a radiant smile on her face: "Then who do you think... I am?"

"Demon!"

"Hehe, you're really cute."

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled softly, but her eyes were indifferent. "You don't even know that your sister... is a demon."

What?

Jiang Mu's heart sank: "You mean, my parents, and I... are all demons?"

"You are not."

The girl flicked her fair wrist gently.

The blood-stained blade slammed into the ground in front of Jiang Mu's feet.

"I was just an abandoned baby picked up by your Jiang family. As for you, whether you were picked up or not, I don't know."

Did you find it?

Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment.

What kind of ridiculous plot twist is this?

"Although I was adopted, my parents treated me like their own child. In my heart, they are no different from my biological parents."

The girl leaped lightly from the roof beam.

Those two small, white feet were always separated from the ground by a thin halo of light, untouched by dust.

Actually, I've always disliked you.

The girl slowly paced around Jiang Mu, her eyes filled with disdain.

"I used to want to eat you several times, but I was afraid of upsetting my parents and getting my mouth dirty."

After my parents were murdered, I thought you were dead too, and I was happy for a few days. I never imagined you would survive.

What surprised me even more was that you seemed to have become more successful?

"What, now that your parents are gone, you finally realize you were a bastard and want to cultivate diligently to avenge them?"

The girl's expression was complicated.

Previously, this "elder brother" was only good at picking up women; otherwise, he was quite stupid, as if he was missing half of his brain.

Now, he has suddenly become a normal person.

I'm not used to it yet.

Jiang Mu stared at her: "From what you're saying, you didn't kill our parents?"

The girl sneered, "Though I am a demon, I am not a beast."

"Is there a difference between demons and beasts? Aren't they both animals?"

"..."

The girl's breath hitched, she glared at him fiercely, and continued:

"When the Fog Demon attacked the city, it stirred the demonic blood within me, causing me to suddenly lose control and fall into a coma. When I awoke, my home had already been destroyed..."

At that time, my demonic nature went berserk, and to prevent being captured by the Demon Slayer Division who arrived later, I had no choice but to escape.

It's clear now that the mist demon was responsible. I've been searching for it all this time; no matter what, I must kill it with my own hands to avenge my parents!

Jiang Mu frowned.

It seems that this younger sister is unaware of the inside story of her brother's collusion with the Mist Demons.

But last time the pig demon clearly said that the Jiang family was not killed by them, could it be that the other subordinates of the mist demon did it?

Jiang Mu asked, "You're wanted by the entire city right now, and you still dare to swagger into the city? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"You think you can catch me with your bunch of good-for-nothing bastards from the Demon Slayer Division?"

The girl scoffed disdainfully.

"In this city of Huzhou, the only person I'm wary of is that garrison commander. However, she's seriously injured and won't be able to sense my presence for the time being."

She stopped and stared intently at Jiang Mu with her beautiful eyes:

"I risked coming to you tonight just to ask you to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"I want you to seduce a woman."

"?"

Jiang Mu was stunned.

"Hmph, don't pretend to be innocent with that look."

The girl sneered, her eyes filled with disdain. "Isn't this exactly the kind of skill you, Young Master Jiang, excel at?"

Jiang Mu looked righteous:

"I've reformed and am now a decent person."

The girl rolled her eyes dramatically: "Can you, Young Master Jiang, really change your womanizing ways?"

Jiang Mu was too lazy to explain, but a hint of curiosity arose in her eyes: "Who do you want me to seduce?"

"Ling Ye."

The girl parted her red lips slightly and uttered two words.

"Your Majesty the Inspector?"

Jiang Mu was taken aback. "Why her?"

The girl said somewhat angrily:

"Your Demon Slayer Division has assigned her the task of hunting me down, and now I've become her prey. This woman is incredibly formidable; I'm afraid she'll get in my way!"

Jiang Mu then realized what was happening.

Yes, Ran Qingshan mentioned that Ling Ye is now in charge of hunting down Jiang Yuexin.

No wonder she risked coming here...

"You mean, once I seduce her, you'll be safe?"

"At least she's become one of us, isn't she?"

The girl said matter-of-factly, "If she's on our side, things will be much easier, and I won't have to be on guard against the Demon Slayers every day."

Jiang Mu chuckled: "You overestimate me. I don't have that ability."

"I don't care!"

The girl said coldly,

"If you still know that your surname is Jiang, and if you still want to avenge your parents, then you should deal with her as soon as possible!"

Whether it's marrying her as a wife or recognizing her as a mother, I have to win her over.

At the very least, try to keep her occupied for the next few days and prevent her from leaving the city to bother me.

She suddenly stepped forward, her body almost pressed against Jiang Mu's.

He raised his head, his eyes slightly red:

"I learned about my background three years ago. I was planning to run away from home then, but I couldn't bear to leave my parents, I couldn't bear to leave this family..."

This time, even if I die, I will tear that beast who ruined our family to pieces!

I don't expect you to help me kill the enemy, but at least don't hold me back.

But if you still run away like before, I won't hesitate to eat you up and send you down to the underworld to apologize to your parents!

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.

As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, her voice turning cold and distant:

"Once I've avenged myself this time, I'll be even with your Jiang family. I still have my own mission to complete."

By the way, don't call me Jiang Yuexin anymore; that name is dead.

My surname is Qiu.

From now on, call me Qiu Yuexin.

The girl's figure flickered, like a wisp of red smoke, and she passed directly through the door panel, disappearing into the night.

Jiang Mu drew her long sword, somewhat curious:

"If we slay a monster of this level, my magic gauge will definitely level up."

He didn't take the task Qiu Yuexin assigned to him seriously.

He had great respect for Lord Ling.

There is absolutely no way I would flirt with her.

Not to mention recognizing the other person as her mother.

He doesn't like to drink milk.

Jiang Mu sheathed his sword and sighed inwardly:

"In the end, although this little devil is a bit fierce, she is truly devoted to her parents. We were misled before."

-

The next morning.

Jiang Mu got up and went to the front hall, and was surprised to find that today's breakfast was much more lavish than usual.

It seems that Bai Xiang felt that she had rejected him too harshly last night and even bit him, making her husband lose face, so she specially made some delicious food to make up for it.

However, Jiang Mu, whose heart was already sealed with cement, did not give this ordinary woman a kind look at all.

He finished his breakfast with a cold face and left without saying a word.

"Ha, women."

The man scoffed inwardly.

After leaving the courtyard, I intended to go find Ling Xigua.

As soon as they stepped out of the alley, they saw a figure running towards them, panting heavily.

It was Chu Lingzhu.

The girl's cheeks flushed a rosy pink, and her wisps of hair on her forehead were stuck together by sweat into crescent moons. As soon as she saw Jiang Mu, she rushed forward and grabbed his sleeve.

"Quick! Come with me to save him! My friend was kidnapped by a monster in his dream!"
