I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

"You're telling me to shut up?!"

The maid had her hair styled in two cute buns and was pointing at her mouth with an incredulous expression.

She is only human.

Although she didn't understand why those immortal masters were so obsequious and fawning towards the young lady, it didn't stop her from taking advantage of their power and enjoying their respect as well.

So, in her eyes as a mortal, the immortal master was nothing special.

She just hadn't had a chance to lash out yet.

Li Yang flashed before their eyes, and a deafening explosion rang in their ears—

"Clang!"

From the moment Li Yang stepped into the silk shop, he sensed something was wrong.

He lacked divine consciousness, but that did not hinder the experience he had accumulated from dealing with demons over the years.

The owner of this shop is weird!

I sensed a very subtle killing intent emanating from it, indiscriminately targeting anyone, much like a vengeful ghost.

He immediately drew his sword.

With a "hiss," it sliced ​​the kind-looking shop owner in two.

"ah!!!"

Upon seeing this, the maid let out a terrified scream.

But what horrified her even more was that the shop owner, who had been cut in two, didn't bleed at all, and even had a strange smile on his face.

"It really is a human puppet!"

Li Yang sheathed his sword and rushed into the back door of the silk shop to search for the goods. He found only a few ordinary people working and nothing unusual.

Back inside the shop.

Picking up the bright red bundle that the shopkeeper had just handed to the maid, he roughly tore it open, revealing a set of exquisite red undergarments underneath.

"What are you doing?!"

Although the maid was frightened, she couldn't help but speak up when she saw this scene.

Li Yang ignored her.

He muttered, "There's definitely something wrong! It's been tampered with; a hidden restriction has been placed on it."

Seeing that Li Yang was ignoring him.

The maidservant shouted, "I'm talking to you! Didn't you already know something was wrong with him? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Faced with questioning.

Li Yang glanced at her sideways.

"No!" Ning Xinyao realized something was wrong and immediately spoke up to stop her.

But it was too late.

Li Yang's slap landed on the maid's face, sending her flying, but Ning Xinyao caught it.

The slap was perfectly controlled; it left the person stunned but not mentally damaged.

"A celestial master cannot be insulted. I am still relatively easy to talk to, but if you encounter someone unreasonable in the future, your defiant and questioning attitude alone will be enough to lead to your death."

Li Yang didn't take it seriously.

If this were an ordinary righteous cultivator, facing the questioning of a mortal, there would be a hundred ways to make this maid disappear silently.

"Junior brother! Why did you hit someone?!" Ning Xinyao was trembling all over.

Seeing the maid's swollen face, he immediately fed her a healing pill, his eyes filled with visible panic.

"I'm just showing the true nature of cultivators." Li Yang shook his head. "She's just a mortal. If she ever crosses a ruthless person, she'll surely be killed."

So you should thank me.

Li Yang looked at the maid with a serious expression.

He didn't use the pressure of a cultivator; his eyes were pure, simply offering advice from someone who had been through it all.

The maid isn't stupid.

The Bai family has always maintained a strict hierarchy, especially those disciples with talent for cultivating immortality, who are often arrogant and disdainful of others.

It was only recently that she heard that the young lady Ni Chang, whom she served, was extraordinary, and coupled with the harassment from the immortal master, she placed herself on the same level as the immortal master.

Li Yang's slap did indeed wake her up.

"Th-thank you."

Ning Xinyao was completely stunned.

Your own great-aunt got slapped, and you still have to thank the person who hit her?!

"Let's go, you don't need to worry about this place. Come back to the Bai residence with us."

Li Yang walked over and patted the maid on the shoulder.

This maid isn't beyond redemption; we'll try to save as many as we can.

on the way back.

The maid asked curiously, "Are you also one of my young lady's suitors?"

"A guy who indirectly caused the deaths of countless people doesn't deserve it." Li Yang didn't care and spoke casually. "Someone like your young lady, who acts hypocritically, is no different from a prostitute."

Hua Fan is simply another version of himself without memories, so who Hua Fan is is largely the same as his original self.

That's why Li Yang found Bai Nishang's behavior increasingly disgusting.

He didn't think it was right for his master to have Ning Xinyao act as a matchmaker for him and the other party.

"You too..." The maid's beautiful eyes were bright, and she was about to agree when she immediately stopped talking.

Actually, she also felt that the young lady's behavior was too unseemly.

However, she was just a maid and had no right to speak out.

"By the way, why are you wearing a human skin mask on your face?" Li Yang suddenly asked.

He had noticed long ago that the maid was wearing a mask.

It's not a magical artifact, but just a common human face prop found in the secular world.

Cultivators could tell at a glance, but since she was Miss Bai's maid, they wouldn't say anything more.

"Because it's ugly~ I'm afraid it will affect Miss's temperament," the maid replied casually.

But Li Yang didn't think so.

Because if she were ugly, it would actually accentuate Miss Bai's elegance.

That would mean she was prettier than Bai Nishang, and she was afraid that a maid would steal her thunder.

"I advise you to leave the Bai residence as soon as possible. You are just an ordinary person. If you encounter danger, your young lady will not die, but you are at great risk of being mistakenly killed." Li Yang had a fairly good impression of this maid.

He has a kind of innocent and carefree feeling, and it's very comfortable to be around him.

"I have no talent for cultivating immortality..." the maid said dejectedly. "Besides, I was sold to the Bai family by my parents, which is better than being sold to a brothel."

The Bai family has treated me well, and Miss Bai is... not bad, I suppose.

I will not leave.

Li Yang did not offer any further advice.

Respecting the fate of others is a good habit.

The Bai family investigated the matter afterward, but ultimately nothing came of it.

Those who practice evil cultivation are cautious and difficult to trace.

Li Yang was bored out of his mind at the Bai residence, and since he had nowhere to cultivate, he chatted idly with this maid.

The maid was in high spirits, chatting animatedly with the immortal master who had slapped her, and showing great curiosity about the cultivation world outside.

Those who witnessed this scene all looked at it with disdain.

"He was pretending to be aloof before, but it turns out he wanted to get in through the people around Miss Bai."

"Just a mere maidservant. But she must have been one of the maids who came with her as part of her dowry, so she might actually be effective."

"It's useless. I don't know whose treasure made it work, but Miss Bai actually broke the rule that mortals cannot cultivate and became a Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator."

Li Yang naturally sensed the atmosphere in Bai Nishang's boudoir.

They also knew what these guys were up to by giving Bai Nishang the treasures that helped her get started with cultivation.

It's just that a mortal body only has a lifespan of a hundred years, which is not enough to make him important in the eyes of the Ning family patriarch.

However, if this mortal body can be used for cultivation and become a Daoist partner, the bond will be deeper and the karmic entanglements will be more numerous.

Therefore, after Bai Nishang became a cultivator, the pursuit of her by these male cultivators intensified.

Only Li Yang and the six sword cultivators from the Sword Alliance remained unmoved.

Their goal was the same—to eliminate evil and uphold justice.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

The maid fell asleep leaning against Li Yang.

Other maids came to wake her up and help her change into a presentable new pink dress.

For the guests, the wedding was a lively affair.

But only by being on-site can you see the busy work that begins before dawn.

The maids knelt on the ground, holding copper basins, to help Bai Nishang wash up, comb her hair, and put on her wedding dress...

As Bai Nishang becomes the female lead, she grows more and more beautiful, while the maids sweat more and more.

As a guard, Li Yang was responsible for checking the guests along with Su Hen and six other sword cultivators to prevent evil spirits from infiltrating the group.

Everything is going smooth.

After the banquet, Bai Nishang bid farewell to her parents, but she couldn't shed a tear.

So overwhelmed by the good news of becoming a cultivator, she couldn't possibly cry.

Especially the promises her lover made to her last night, which filled her with great hope for the future, made her so happy.
