Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Notice the new special favorability display.

Chen Lianshu was surprised, but had no time to pay attention to it.

Judging from his appearance and name alone, he did not recognize the person in front of him.

But then he noticed the token hanging from the other person's waist—

The Holy Maiden's Decree.

As an undercover agent who was "influenced" by the demonic path and "voluntarily" became a spy.

Their first lesson was not about how to infiltrate or remain undetected, but about the symbolic identities of the important figures in the entire church.

This is followed by the demonstration of the Demonic Sect's methods, such as brainwashing or threats.

As for how to avoid being detected?

That was something that was only briefly mentioned at the end, a "trivial matter".

Some unlucky ones were even hastily sent to other sects before they even finished learning this step.

"Your subordinate greets Your Majesty."

Chen Lianshu bowed respectfully, outwardly maintaining his loyal demeanor towards the Demonic Sect.

The only thing missing was raising both hands high, jumping up and down with tears streaming down his face, and shouting "Loyalty!"

"You recognize me?"

Shen Yueli feigned surprise, her tone tinged with amusement.

The token at her waist was something she deliberately showed to the other party.

Otherwise, who would wear such a symbol of status on their waist in a proper place?

Wearing it is tantamount to loudly proclaiming to those old Taoist priests: I am the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect.

"I naturally recognize the Holy Maiden's decree."

Chen Lianshu finally understood why Elder Wu had been so cautious in his instructions.

His new superior is more than just a "big shot".

This person is second only to the leader within the sect, holding a position of immense power.

Despite her charming and lovely appearance, this saintess exudes a suffocating aura of danger.

Just as rumored…

"What about besides the token?"

Shen Yueli tilted her head, her eyes filled with undisguised anticipation:

Do you still remember me?

"Or do you think I look familiar, like you've seen me somewhere before?"

This reaction was completely different from what was expected.

Unlike Mu Qianxue's subtle and complex gaze when they first met, Shen Yueli's gaze was intense, her emotions straightforward and undisguised.

Even though she could see the expectation in her eyes, Chen Lianshu still answered truthfully:

"Forgive my poor eyesight, but I have never seen it before."

"Never seen it before?"

Upon receiving the answer, Shen Yueli seemed unconvinced, her smile only widening.

She took a very bold step forward.

The distance between the two instantly shortened, to the point where they could clearly feel each other's body temperature and breathing.

Because of the height difference, she had to tilt her head slightly to look at the handsome young man in front of her, her tone playful yet stubborn:

"Why don't you take another look?"

"Really...you don't remember?"

"..."

The moment she approached, a sweet fragrance unique to young girls wafted over, making one's thoughts drift.

Looking at that ethereal face so close to his face, Chen Lianshu still shook his head and denied it:

"I'm sorry, I have never seen it before."

"Heh~"

The answer remained unchanged, and Shen Yueli chuckled lightly, unconcerned.

She moved away again, sat down on a stone bench nearby, and gestured with her hand:

"sit."

"…yes."

Chen Lianshu hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

He vaguely felt that... the other person's expression just now was less one of indifference and more one of disappointment.

Does this girl really want me to recognize her?

But why is that?

After a brief period of fruitless contemplation, he could only attribute everything to the legendary saintess's "unpredictable" nature.

"Heavy…"

Shen Yueli stopped talking and changed her approach:

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Shen Yueli."

"From this day forward, you will be under my sole jurisdiction. All those trivial reports from the past are now unnecessary."

"from now on…"

As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant, her gaze towards Chen Lianshu filled with undisguised possessiveness:

"Your life, your soul, every thought of yours, can only belong to me."

"Do you understand?"

Looking at the soul tablet, Chen Lianshu understood.

Shen Yueli wants more than just everything in name.

The same applies in physics.

He had no choice but to pledge allegiance.

"I will obey Her Majesty's command."

"Very good~"

Seeing this, Shen Yueli was very satisfied.

They're still so afraid of me.

She subconsciously raised her hand, wanting to gently touch the face she had longed for, but considering their current status, she stopped in mid-air.

In the end, he could only raise a single jade finger, smiling sweetly, which sent chills down one's spine.

"I'm going to give you a task."

"Whatever your command."

"Tell me about your past."

She deliberately drew out her words, emphasizing:

"Especially the little things I did at the Jade Jade Sect~"

"?"

Chen Lianshu was taken aback by the request.

Although I didn't understand its meaning, I had no choice but to explain it in detail since I was under their roof.

There's not much to say.

It's nothing more than cultivating, accepting missions, exchanging resources, and then looking for opportunities to pass on intelligence.

But Shen Yueli listened with great interest.

"Hehe~"

The girl rested her chin on her hands, swayed her toes lightly, smiled sweetly, and stared at the young man in front of her with admiration.

"..."

Chen Lianshu couldn't see through those eyes.

This straightforward scrutiny was even more enigmatic than Mu Qianxue's subtle and complex gaze.

"are you hungry?"

Shen Yueli asked a question out of the blue.

Having a soul tablet, she naturally knew Chen Lianshu's whereabouts.

She knew that the other party had been traveling for half a day to meet her and had not had time to eat.

Although she knew he was fasting and that missing a meal wouldn't matter, she still wanted to watch her husband eat.

Chen Lianshu did not answer, but instead took out the pastries she had bought in the afternoon from her storage bag.

"If Your Excellency is hungry, these are pastries bought this afternoon, which may serve as a snack for now."

"Is this... okay?"

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Shen Yueli did not point it out.

Although she disliked his respectful and aloof attitude, she did not show it.

After all, she'll soon get the other person to "willingly" change their mind.

"This is my duty."

"Then I'll accept it without hesitation."

Shen Yueli did not refuse, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

Although she had completely abstained from grains and needed no food, she naturally wouldn't refuse her husband's kind gesture.

They even ate with great relish.

"Hmm~"

After swallowing the pastry, she glanced at something seemingly casually, then praised it:

"It tastes good."

After eating several more pieces, seeing that there was still no movement around, he "casually" asked:

"So, you came out with Senior Sister Mu?"

She still wore a gentle smile, but when she mentioned "Mu Qianxue," the hostility in her tone was clearly discernible.

"right."

"In that case, let's move on to the second task."

The girl ate a pastry and held up her second finger:

"I want you..."

She deliberately dragged out her words, enjoying the feeling of keeping people in suspense and having them under her control.

After pausing for a moment, as if remembering something, he beckoned to Chen Lianshu and said mysteriously:

"Come closer, and whisper in my ear~"

Chen Lianshu did not resist and leaned closer.

"I want you to continue to be a good disciple of the Jade Jade Sect, especially to stay close to Mu Qianxue."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lianshu couldn't help but become suspicious.

Could it be that she has a grudge against Mu Qianxue?

"And also~"

Shen Yueli lowered her voice even further and leaned closer.

Chen Lianshu was so close that he could clearly feel the girl's lips almost touching his earlobe.

"I want you to keep an eye on everything she does, especially her behavior towards you..."

"Is there any unusual level of attention?"

"Do you understand?"

"...Yes, ma'am."

He nodded and was about to step back when he was gently stopped:

"Don't move."

Because she was turned to the side, Chen Lianshu did not notice that Shen Yueli was looking at a certain place with a provocative gaze.

Seeing that there was still no movement from the other side, her smile deepened, and she decided to add fuel to the fire.

Consider it a test of that person.

Is he just like her?

Or is it simply a matter of doubting her husband's identity...?

"?"

Chen Lianshu felt the fabric rubbing against her, and the petite figure moved slightly.

Although, in his perception, the girl did not do anything out of line.

From a certain angle, their postures appeared intimately close, bordering on ambiguous.

finally--

A cold, suppressed voice, filled with anger and chill, rang out:

"Junior brother?"

It was Mu Qianxue.

Before her husband could turn around, Mu Qianxue glared coldly at the "bold and reckless," "shameless," "seductive and alluring," and "scheming" vixen!

Jealousy surged in his eyes, almost solidifying, and his expression was full of threat.

But Shen Yueli not only didn't back down, she became even more aggressive.

She moved even closer to Chen Lianshu, almost nestled into his arms.

Clearly, both women understood at this moment.

The other person, like myself, remembers the past.

What are you doing here?

Mu Qianxue's words seemed to be directed at Chen Lianshu, but her gaze was fixed on the "cheating" girl.

Now, she only feels a sense of relief.

Thankfully, they made it this far.

Otherwise, wouldn't her husband be "devoured alive" by this vixen?

She hadn't been unaware that Shen Yueli would "remember" just like she did.

After all, with the example of the master before them, there is a high possibility that a second person will follow suit.

But she never expected that the other party would come all the way from the Southern Region, and even use her connections to become her husband's "new superior", using restrictions and soul tablets as threats to keep him in her grasp.

For the sake of her husband's safety.

She tolerated the enchantress's deliberate approach just now!

She tolerated the verbal flirting!

She even watched as her husband gave away the pastries he had bought for her to this vixen... and she still gritted her teeth and endured it!

You know, that was bought for her by her husband! It was hers!

This isn't for Shen Yueli!!

As the vixen's actions grew increasingly bold and unrestrained, her husband remained oblivious...

Only this point—

She had reached her breaking point!
