Chapter 174 Husband's Reward

Although the demon girl didn't say clearly about the cultivation level of the unexpected guest, she said that she could barely handle it.

This means that the strength of the uninvited guest is likely to be higher than hers.

This must be a thousand-year-old demon who is tired of living in the environment.

Kong Ning frowned and asked: "What is the old demon who is tired of living in Hejian Mansion doing?"

Kong Ning looked at Su Yan in front of him.

The demon girl smiled slightly, and said, "Does my husband want to know? It's actually very simple. There is something in this Hejian mansion that attracted that thousand-year-old demon."

"In other words, it attracted those old things in the capital."

Under Kong Ning's gaze, it was rare for this enchantress not to show off, and she talked directly.

"In the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a group of old monsters gathered for many years, all of whom are above the level of dreadful living."

"Because it is said that a fairy corpse was buried under the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Well, the real immortals are not the so-called living immortals in the Zifu Realm. They are real immortals who can live forever and live as long as the heavens."

The witch smiled and said, "All the monsters are longing for the corpse of the real fairy, and they have spent more than twenty years there."

"As for the Hejian Mansion, the situation is actually similar."

"My husband, don't you think it's strange why a small remote city can attract so many monsters?"

"The four great evil caves are all powerful forces that can dominate one side, so why do they have to gather in a small Hejian Mansion to plan food?"

"For example, Lord Guangyun, the god of the river, the entire upper and lower reaches of the Shaoxian River are under his jurisdiction. Where the river passes, there are so many cities, and there are several more prosperous cities than the Hejian Mansion."

"But he just has a soft spot for the Hejian Prefecture in the upper reaches..."

The demon girl smiled and said, "It is precisely because there is a certain big secret in Hejian Mansion that attracts this group of demons."

"Although it's not as shocking as the corpse of the fairy underground in the capital, it's still attractive enough."

"However, there are not many people who know this secret. I can be sure that in the entire Hejian Mansion, only the demon kings of the Four Great Demon Caves and one or two of his subordinates may know."

"As for how that old man from the capital knew, I don't know much about it."

"But I can be sure that the old man came to Hejian Mansion most likely because of the hidden secrets of Hejian Mansion, and he definitely didn't come here to hang out."

After the witch finished speaking, Kong Ning looked at her and asked, "So you stayed in Hejian Mansion because of this big secret?"

Regarding this, the demon girl shook her head, and said, "My husband misunderstood me this time. The concubine stayed in Hejian Mansion not because of that big secret."

"The reason why I stay in Hejian Mansion is to protect the mortals here."

Speaking of this, the witch couldn't help laughing: "The concubine is serious. If it weren't for the concubine's check and balance, the mortals in Hejian Mansion would be able to live a carefree life like this?"

"There are so many monsters in the Hejian Mansion, but they never show their holiness in front of people, let alone plunder the blood of mortals. It all depends on the yamen to bring all kinds of condemned prisoners to confession..."

"The mortals who die at the hands of demons every year are not as many as mortals who kill each other."

"These are all thanks to my concubine."

The witch said proudly: "At least in this Hejian Mansion, the concubine has really managed to protect the environment and the people, and protect the peace of the people in the whole city."

"But it's not worth bragging about, because the concubine is the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus."

"As the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus, it is the destiny of heaven to protect innocent mortals."

The demon girl smiled and said: "So husband, do you know how much you misunderstood the concubine's body?"

"Your wife is not a bad person, but a good person through and through."

The witch said, very proud.

Kong Ning frowned at her, somewhat disbelieving.

"You stayed in Hejian Mansion to protect the safety of this place?"

The demon girl blinked her eyes pitifully: "Don't you believe me..."

"..." Kong Ning was slightly silent and changed the subject.

"Since you said that there is a big secret in Hejian Mansion...then what is this secret? Can you tell me?" Kong Ning asked.

The demon girl rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Of course my husband wants to know, it's no problem. But... such a big secret, I told it myself, I don't know if there is any reward?"

Kong Ning looked at her: "What reward do you want?"

Under the bright candlelight, the seductive girl in Tsing Yi licked her lips and said, "It all depends on the sincerity of your husband..."

Kong Ning paused, then smiled slightly: "My sincerity is naturally sufficient!"

In the banquet hall, a woman's surprised voice suddenly sounded.

"Ah! Husband, this is not what this concubine said..."

Immediately afterwards, there were the sounds of chairs shaking and clothes being torn.

There was also the soft low cry of the woman.

"Husband..."

Outside the house, the gust of wind howled again, beating the world.

Among the mountains, the peony that had been dry for many days ushered in the torrential rain again.

The patter of rainwater is flowing in the gullies in the mountains.

The mountains, which have been dry for many days and have not been moistened, will receive rain again tonight, just like rain after a long drought.

Standing stubbornly in the rain, the peony keeps trembling in the wind and rain, and seems to be delighted by the arrival of the rain.

Gusts of wind slapped the delicate flower branches.

The petals fluttering against the wind are covered with wet rain, making them more delicate and pink.

Incomparably thick lightning flashed continuously in the night sky.

One after another, piercing the sky and the earth. The huge roar and the unstoppable powerful tremor were conveyed to the heaven and the earth.

The entire mountains trembled amidst the constant roar of thunder and lightning, as if they were about to be torn apart.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

The peony in the mountain stood stubbornly against the violent wind and rain, but it looked more and more delicate and lovely...

...

…………

In the middle of the night, at midnight, Kong Ning, who had changed into new clothes, walked out of the Wangjiang Tower openly.

Go down the stairs and into the city.

On the moonless street, there are no figures.

In his mind, he thought back to what the demon girl said just now.

The witch, who was lazily lying in his arms, said lazily: "Thirty years ago, here in Hejian Mansion, there was a treasured fairy mountain called Lingruo Temple."

"The temple is hidden in the mountains, the incense is bleak, and there are few believers. Even the local residents of Hejian Prefecture, few people know the existence of the temple."

"But in the temple, there are supreme practitioners."

"Legends say that Lingruo Temple has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and there are Buddha's gatha in the temple, which is mysterious and inexplicable."

"Although it is not well-known in the practice world, and few people know it in the mortal world, this Lingruo Temple is a hidden sect that is deeply hidden in the land of Shenzhou."

"Decades ago, the world changed drastically, the righteous way declined, and the evil way prospered."

"The famous mountains and rivers in the world, and the sects handed down from generation to generation, have all been destroyed by the evil way."

"And this Lingruo Temple is naturally not immune."
