Chapter 68: She’s a Demon

Chapter 68: She's a Demon

Such an incident, if told, would be believed by no one.

It's best not to let others know, to avoid them coveting her spiritual pearl.

However, Leng Xiyue didn't know that there was a crack in the warehouse door, and everything she experienced was clearly seen by Hai Ge.

A demon! Leng Xiyue is a demon!

Hai Ge leaned against the warehouse door, trembling. He felt lucky he hadn't offended Leng Xiyue earlier, or he might have been eaten by a demon without knowing it.

"Hai Ge, what happened?" Lao Jiu, curious, came over. "Why have you been knocking on the warehouse door?"

"Nothing, nothing," Hai Ge stammered in response.

"Nothing?" Lao Jiu didn't believe it and squatted down to peek through the crack in the door.

"Don't look!" Hai Ge quickly pulled Lao Jiu away.

Leng Xiyue, hearing Hai Ge's words, became curious. Why say not to look? Could it be that the warehouse door wasn't secure?

Oh no, the scene of her vomiting the spiritual pearl for healing couldn't have been seen by Hai Ge, could it?

She quickly walked to the warehouse door and upon careful inspection, found indeed there was a crack. Angrily, she said, "Hai Ge, you were peeping at me!"

"I... I didn't, I didn't see anything, and even if I did, I wouldn't say anything, rest assured..."

Frightened, Hai Ge quickly stood up, worried that Leng Xiyue, the "demon," would seek revenge on him, and hurriedly promised not to say anything.

Leng Xiyue suddenly opened the door, finding only Hai Ge and Lao Jiu outside, no one else, and said coldly, "Come in, I have something to say."

Thinking Leng Xiyue was a demon, how could Hai Ge not comply? He hastily pulled Lao Jiu into the warehouse with him.

Leng Xiyue found a board to cover the crack, whispering to the two, "No one else saw, right?"

"No, no one," Hai Ge said, trembling, "Lao Jiu didn't see anything either; he arrived after you were done."

"Saw what?" Lao Jiu's eyes were filled with curiosity.

It seems Lao Jiu really didn't see anything.

"Nothing, I was just changing my clothes and didn't realize someone was peeping outside," Leng Xiyue said, then warned Hai Ge, "If you peep again, I'll gouge out your eyeballs!"

"I wouldn't dare, absolutely won't look again." Hai Ge was terrified, convinced Leng Xiyue was a demon capable of gouging out his eyes as she said.

Lao Jiu was somewhat confused, "Sister-in-law, Hai Ge and you are practically husband and wife, what does it matter if he saw?"

"Don't, don't, don't talk nonsense, I haven't! I'm not worthy!" Hai Ge immediately knelt down before Leng Xiyue, "Xiaoyue, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were... so formidable. I was ignorant and offended you before, please be magnanimous and forgive me..."

"Hai Ge..." Leng Xiyue hurried to help him.

"Don't, don't touch me." Hai Ge recoiled in fear.

This man was kneeling before her, so afraid of her. Could it be he thought she was a demon? It must have been the spiritual pearl that scared him.

"Hai Ge, are you that afraid of sister-in-law?" Lao Jiu curiously stared at Leng Xiyue, wondering what made her so frightening, could it be true as the song goes, that a woman is a tiger?

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, she's not your sister-in-law. I haven't violated her, I'm not worthy." After saying this, Hai Ge pulled Lao Jiu to kneel with him and whispered in his ear, "Xiaoyue is not a mortal, look at her foot."

Only then did Lao Jiu notice that Leng Xiyue's foot had completely healed, which was a terrible sight not long ago.

Hearing Leng Xiyue was not a mortal, his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know anything, please be generous and don't take offense."
