The next day.

Hu Meng had a good night's sleep and was in high spirits. In contrast, I looked a little sickly.

"Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" The little fox hopped over and nuzzled my forehead with its hand.

I smiled brightly. "No, I'm fine."

Hu Meng looked at me suspiciously for a while and made sure nothing was amiss before she let me go.

The sky was bright, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was bright and clear. The Jiang manor was as quiet as ever.

In the main hall of the Jiang manor, Liniang was already sitting there, dressed in plain clothes. Her hair was slightly tied up as she stared outside the door with a dazed look in her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking about, but there was a smile on her face.

"Sis, what's wrong with her?" Hu Meng pulled on my sleeve and asked in a low voice.

I shook my head.

Hu Meng sighed softly, "Sister, tell me, if I didn't know my emotions and desires, how good would it be?"

I knew that she must have thought of that "Master Ice Mountain," so I wanted to change the subject and whisper to her, "Do you think there's any way to make Liniang change her mind right now?"

Hu Meng honestly shook her head. "Ah'jie, I don't know." After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "... "If things don't work out, why don't we knock her out and use some other deceptive tricks to let that young master Jiang think that she's already left?"

That sounds like a good idea.

I praised her so much that I made the little fox so happy that he almost shook his tail without revealing himself.

While we were mumbling to ourselves, Liniang suddenly stood up.

Outside the door, stood the real owner of the mansion, Young Master Jiang. He was dressed in deep blue brocade and had a white jade belt around his waist, which reminded me of the description of a handsome scholar in the book.

Compared to yesterday, she was even more dazzling today. Not only had she changed into a bright red dress, but she was also wearing a string of gold and silver jewelry. The expression on her face had a bit of the arrogance a wife would have when she saw her concubine.

"What is this wicked woman doing here?" Hu Meng asked in a low voice.

I waved my hand, indicating that she should take a look.

Liniang didn't seem to see the Lamia who was snuggling close to young master Jiang. She only said lightly, "You're here."

Young Master Jiang was expressionless as he said coldly, "Since you've said that you will give me an explanation today, I will naturally come."

Liniang looked down at the ground. After a while, she asked, "Can I talk to you alone?"

Young Master Jiang hesitated for a moment, but the snake-girl beside him actually smiled sweetly and said, "Yo, big sister. Could it be that you want to use some method to save Minister Jiang's heart?" Haven't you heard the phrase, 'you only hear the new people laugh and you don't hear the old people cry'? If it's like I say, sister, you might as well take the letter and leave the hall. Why do you have to make yourself lose face? "

Liniang acted as if she didn't hear her words. She only looked fixedly at Young Master Jiang. The latter hesitated for a moment, then pushed away the snake-girl beside him and said, "Sure." However, after we are done talking, you must take the letter and leave, and are not allowed to continue entangling me. "

Liniang smiled gently. "Of course."

Just as she was about to say something, her eyes suddenly rolled back and her body went limp, falling to the ground – it was Hu Meng who had circled behind her at some point, and taken out a big red fan and used the handle of the fan to smash the back of her head.

The bang was so loud that even I felt a little pain listening from the side.

"Hmph, you directly knocked me out. Let's see what else you can do!" The little girl clapped her hands and indignantly said.

Cough cough, little fox, how did you become so violent?

I wanted to drag Hu Meng away, but I suddenly thought of something, so I walked over to the Lamia's side and carefully searched her body. I originally wanted to drag Hu Meng away, but suddenly thought of something, I walked over to the Lamia's side, carefully searched her body, and then found a white stone chain on her right wrist.

The place where Liniang and Young Master Jiang went was the bamboo forest by the backyard of the Jiang manor.

I made a invisibility incantation with Hu Mengqi and walked closer to take a look. He saw the two of them standing there, facing each other, silently looking at each other. At that time, the shadow of the bamboo and the light of the broken gold danced in the wind. If one didn't know what had happened, they would definitely think that the couple was just taking a walk.

I slowly pulled Hu Meng closer, while trying to let Liniang sense me, I also wanted to prevent her from killing herself.

At this moment, Sir Jiang suddenly regained his senses and sighed heavily. With a slight trace of inattention in his eyes, he said, "Liniang, matters of the heart cannot be forced. Furthermore, we, the transvestite, have a different path …" He paced back and forth a few steps, and then said, "You and I have been married for more than a year, and I know that I have nothing to compensate you for. In this mansion, if you have anything that caught your eyes, you can take it away later on. "

The corners of Liniang's lips slowly curled up, her expression unreadable. "Minister Jiang, if I were to say that the only person I would be interested in in this mansion is you?"

Hearing this, young master Jiang's expression became ugly, and even his tone became a lot heavier, "Liniang, why are you still so stubborn?!"

"I... "He really is unrepentant." Liniang looked around, one hand covering her chest, her voice sounding like she was sighing, "Do you remember the first time we met? It was also in such a bamboo forest that you were being chased by a ferocious beast. Coincidentally, I happened to pass by and saved you … Afterwards, the day after we got married, you dragged me here. You said that you planted a bamboo forest here for my sake … You said you would always remember the first time you saw me... "

Before she could finish, Young Master Jiang's face was covered in a layer of frost. He interrupted her coldly, "I have long forgotten all these things that you've said. As a matter of fact, you've had bad intentions ever since you first approached me. If you are not of my race, then you must have different hearts! I am just a mere mortal, how can I tell if your words are true or false! "

"Is that so? But every word you say to me, every word... I remember everything. "

"So what if I remember? "Don't think that just because you brought me here that you can make me change my mind!" Young Master Jiang coldly snorted. "Let me tell you, even if you don't want to leave today, you'll still have to leave!"

Liniang didn't answer, she just stared at him blankly, as if she wanted to carve his appearance deep into her heart. After a moment, she suddenly took two steps back, raised her head and said gently, "Fine, Mister Jiang, do you dare to look me in the eye and swear to the heavens that you don't have any love for me?"

The displeasure on Young Master Jiang's face intensified as he sternly rebuked, "Have you caused enough trouble!?"

As he said this, he pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve – from where I was standing, I could faintly make out a lot of black and white words written on it. He threw this piece of paper towards Liniang and said, "This is the suspension.

Liniang did not stretch out her hand to let the paper float to the ground. She only smiled and asked, "Mister Jiang, if you dare not meet my eyes, I swear to God, I will not take this letter nor leave!" The usually gentle woman actually had a trace of provocation in her eyes.

I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but before I could even think about it, I saw Mister Jiang's face turn ashen. He suddenly raised his hand, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "I, Jiang Yuhuan, have broken off all ties with Liniang today. I will never see her again!"

The moment his voice fell, I felt something rush out from within his body. A white light scattered out like smoke, falling between the heaven and earth, creating strong gales. The entire bamboo forest was filled with fallen leaves.

In the middle of the rain of bamboo leaves, Liniang suddenly let out a resplendent smile. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said in a low voice, "Hello, Minister Jiang …"

Even before he finished speaking, blood was already flowing out from the corner of his mouth. His slim figure was like a flower that had been defeated, falling straight down to the ground.

I never thought that Liniang would be so decisive as to use most of her mana to plant a "heart curse" on young master Jiang — a spell of this kind that, although its name is pleasant to hear, is mostly used to control other people. One person has a mother curse on him, another has a sub-curse on his body, after the successful casting of the spell, the latter cannot betray the former, and if there is any danger, the latter will feel the same.

Apparently, Liniang had a spell on her body, and Young Master Jiang had a spell on his body. Therefore, when Young Master Jiang swore to the heavens that his love was cut off, the spell would backfire on Liniang.

I thought that Liniang would kill herself with a spell or a sharp weapon in front of Young Master Jiang, but I didn't expect her to use a spell to counterattack, causing us to be unable to stop her in time.

But no matter what, Liniang's "Dao Heart Wood" is still in our hands. If we can stabilize her soul in time, then there should still be a sliver of hope.

However, before we could even reveal ourselves, Young Master Jiang, who was originally standing there in a daze, had already rushed over. He picked up the plain-clothed girl on the ground and hurriedly called out her name, "Liniang!"

Hu Meng took two steps forward and snorted. She then swung her sleeve and released a formless wave of power that mercilessly pushed him away.

But who knew that even though young master Jiang was sent flying a few meters away, he still held onto Liniang tightly. His body was riddled with wounds, his knuckles were bloody, and he even spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, unwilling to let go. He only repeatedly shouted, "Liniang, Liniang, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister, he, he …" Hu Meng obviously did not expect this to happen and was immediately stunned on the spot.

I sighed and walked up to him. "Young Master Jiang, Liniang has already left. Please let her go …"

The backlash of the "Heart Binding Curse" was immense, especially with Liniang's death wish. Not only did she give up on the "Dao Heart Wood", she even dispersed all of her mana without any resistance. Thus, when she fell to the ground, she had already died.

"Who are you? What are you talking about? " Young Master Jiang raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he said in a terrified tone, "Did you harm Liniang?" Isn't it? "She was fine just now, why did she suddenly …"

I looked at him, who was in so much grief that he couldn't even speak properly. Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "Young master Jiang, if you weren't heartless to her, then why did you want to hurt her so much and force her to die in her heart?"

Young Master Jiang held Liniang's body, as if he had lost his soul. He kept mumbling to himself, and spoke a lot of words in a broken voice.

I was so busy guiding Liniang's soul into the Dao Heart Wood that I only heard the gist of it, but it was enough to understand the whole story.

It turned out that after young master Jiang found out that his mother wanted him to divorce her, he got up to go to the capital to persuade the madame to change her mind. Unexpectedly, he met an old Daoist Cloud Traveller in his home in the capital. He claimed to be from Penglai Sect, and the moment he saw Mister Jiang, he immediately said that he was surrounded by a dense demonic aura. If he didn't remove it, he would die within a few months.

Old Madame Jiang was greatly surprised. She begged the old Daoist for half a day to open the altar to cast spells before the old Daoist reluctantly indicated that the evil creature was with Young Master Jiang. He then added that the evil creature must have transformed into a woman. When Old Madame Jiang heard this, she offered him a thousand taels of gold. She only wanted the expert to exterminate the demons in order to protect her only son's life.

Young Master Jiang was not stupid. He knew that Liniang was not an ordinary person the moment she saved him. He just wanted to live a leisurely life with his sweetheart, so he had never mentioned it. Seeing that there was an old Daoist who could tell at a glance that his wife was a demon-level character, and that he had received a large sum of money from the madame, he was about to set off for the Jiang manor to collect more demons, causing him to be thrown into disarray.
