“Witch, give up on trying to confuse me with such low-handed methods!” said Yan Nanzhu sternly.

  Ning Shu heaved a long sigh. “Didn’t you say that I had the inheritance? So I’m taking off my outer garment to shake it out. Let’s see if something like an ‘inheritance’ falls out.”


  Yan Nanzhu turned back around. Ning Shu shook out all her clothes, then said, “See? There’s nothing.”


  Yan Nanzhu looked at her and said, “Although it’s not on you, that doesn’t mean you don’t know where it is. I can’t trust you.”


  Ning Shu spread out her hands helplessly. “Fine, whatever.” Then she turned and left.

  “Where are you going? You’re a remaining member of the Demonic Cult. You’re coming with me.” Yan Nanzhu caught up with Ning Shu. “I must arrest you so that you don’t have the chance to harm any more innocent people.”


  Ning Shu: …


  “Alliance Head, look at how weak I am. Who in the world could I harm?” Ning Shu tugged at her hair. “Why are you allowing Gong Wumei, that demon, to run free and trying to capture me instead? What use is there in catching me? Could it be that your martial arts community only knows to bully weak women?”


  “You’re a weak woman?” Yan Nanzhu looked her over. “You’re the holy maiden of the Demonic Sect and possess innate ability to enchant people. You use your beauty to bewitch men which will inevitably bring about calamity. For the stability of the martial arts community, as the martial art alliance head that everyone has elected, I cannot spare any of the people that would harm the martial arts community.”


  Ning Shu just looked at him. This guy was way too righteous and serious. She didn’t even know what to say.

  In the original storyline, Mu Yanmeng had been imprisoned by Gong Wumei and used as a bed slave. Later, the Demonic Cult was attacked and Gong Wumei didn’t have the chance to get Mu Yanmeng, so Mu Yanmeng was rescued by Yan Nanzhu and brought to his Red Clouds Manor.

  There were other women that were rescued. Some of them were envious of Mu Yanmeng since Gong Wumei had stopped favoring them ever since she came. Hence, they told Yan Nanzhu that Mu Yanmeng was Gong Wumei’s woman and a member of the Demonic Cult. They said that Mu Yanmeng had the ability to bewitch people and that no men could escape her spells.

  Yan Nanzhu would experience a subconscious attraction to Mu Yanmeng sometimes when he was with her. When he recalled what the other women told him about her ability to bewitch men, he couldn’t help but feel conflicted.

  His heart was feeling one thing, but at the same time, there was the matter of upholding the principles of the martial arts community. He was the martial art alliance head, how could he get together with a woman of the demonic cult? How could he allow himself to fall to the bewitchment of a witch? As Yan Nanzhu struggled with this, his attitude towards Mu Yanmeng would waver between being very harsh and being very cold.

  No matter how Mu Yanmeng tried to explain that she wasn’t someone of the Demonic Cult and that she was someone Gong Wumei kidnapped, Yan Nanzhu didn’t believe her. When Gong Wumei came to Red Clouds Manor and tried to rescue her, Yan Nanzhu became even more convinced that she was lying.

  In addition, Gong Wumei, being rotten as he was, would sometimes sneak into Red Clouds Manor to tumble with Mu Yanmeng. Yan Nanzhu once caught them, but he just watched from a hidden location as his blood boiled.

  He hated Mu Yanmeng and also hated himself. He hated himself for falling for Mu Yanmeng’s bewitchment, but he hated Mu Yanmeng more for not treasuring herself and allowing a man to use her as he pleased.

  In short, Yan Nanzhu was a very straightforward and upright man, so he felt that Mu Yanmeng was a bad woman who liked to act pitiful to trick men. The part that bothered him the most was that he had also fallen for this trick.
