When Ning Shu heard this voice, she looked around but didn’t see anyone. Xu Yu, who had been fishing in the brook, ran back onshore and hid behind Ning Shu. He asked nervously, “Senior Sister, is it a ghost? Senior Sister, I’m scared! You have to protect me, ok?”


  “Why’s a little kid like you so superstitious?” Ning Shu pulled him out from behind her. “You’re a man, you have to protect women, got it? The way you’re hiding behind a woman isn’t manly at all.”


  “Haha, how amusing.” A person jumped down from a tree. His hair was loose and only casually tied back with a black ribbon. He was dressed in matching black robes that had golden embroidery. However, his most important feature was that his appearance seemed androgynous and was both beautiful beyond belief and filled with a slight demonic air.

  As he stood there, he seemed like the hallucinogenic angel’s trumpet, beautiful yet deadly.

  Ning Shu glanced at him and said, “My master isn’t home. There’s no point looking.”


  The man was slightly taken aback, but soon smiled again. His lips hooked in a seductive smirk and with a light tap on the surface of the water, he flitted over to land right in front of Ning Shu. The sweet scent from his body wafted over to Ning Shu.

  “Wow! Amazing! You actually flew!” Xu Yu looked towards the man with admiration.

  The man kept his eyes on Ning Shu as he asked, “What day and time were you born?”


  Look at this guy! He didn’t even ask for her name before asking for her date of birth. Ning Shu pulled Xu Yu with her and took a step back as she said, “That’s a secret. What if you turn out to be asking in order to use a voodoo doll on me?”


  The man: …


  Ning Shu then ran off with Xu Yu. When she glanced back, she saw that the Demonic Cult Leader wasn’t chasing them and was just watching her with an amused expression.

  When they got back to the bamboo house, Ning Shu said to Xu Yu, “That person is very dangerous. Be careful around him in the future.”


  Then she prepared a good amount of rations for Xu Yu and said, “Be careful when you’re here alone. Make sure to carry some poison with you. If you encounter anything dangerous, just use poison.”


  When Xu Yu saw that Ning Shu was giving him so many careful instructions, he got a bad premonition and nervously grabbed Ning Shu’s sleeve. “Senior Sister, what is it? Are you going somewhere?”


  “It’s nothing. I’m probably going to have to take a trip as well. Make sure to be careful and look after yourself,” said Ning Shu.

  In the original storyline, the Demonic Cult Leader had come here to have the godly doctor treat his internal injuries and took a fancy to Mu Yanmeng. When he found out that Mu Yanmeng had been born in the yin month, yin day, and yin hour, he straight out kidnapped Mu Yanmeng.

  In a little while, she’d probably have to leave with that guy.

  However, this time, she’d make sure that guy suffered!

  “Senior Sister, don’t leave. I’m scared, I don’t want to stay here by myself.” Xu Yu clutched Ning Shu’s sleeve, afraid that she would leave.

  “Hm? Beauty, where are you going? Could it be that you’ve been captivated by my looks and wish to elope with me?” The Demonic Cult Leader’s voice came from outside. The moment Ning Shu walked out, she saw that he was sitting casually on the stone stool in a indolent way that excluded seductiveness. His every movement was captivatingly charming, but the fact that he was a man still remained very clear.

  Beautiful, flirtatious, and devilish. The Demonic Cult Leader had the highest quality looks out of all seven Calabash Brothers.

  #comment: yin month = april. I’m yin month, yin day +1, and… idk which hour. Any readers that’s of the yin month, yin day, and yin hour? :3
