I, a demon, lurk in the territory of cultivators, like a lamb among wolves.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

But luckily, my demonic energy has been sealed since birth, and even Lin Huai can't sense it.

At that time, he also interrogated me about my identity.

I lowered my head and shed tears, revealing a slender and porcelain-like neck. "I, I only remember being called A Chu. I really don't remember anything else... They knocked me out, brought me back, so much blood..."

Lin Huai's expression was indifferent as he stood with his hands behind his back, looking at me intently, as if weighing the truth of my words.

A sense of oppression enveloped me.

I was so nervous that I didn't dare to breathe.

I didn't dare to use any demonic or bewitching techniques in front of him.

Just as the atmosphere became stagnant, a cold wind suddenly blew in, pushing open the half-closed window.

I couldn't help but shiver, holding my hands weakly in front of my chest, looking pitiful. "Oh, it's so cold~"

Lin Huai paused.

He turned around and closed the window again.

The overwhelming pressure finally dissipated, and he returned to his elegant gentleman appearance, his gaze gentle. "It's chilly in spring. Miss, take care to keep warm."

I pinched the corner of my clothes and spoke hesitantly, like a mosquito. "Thank you, Daoist."

Seeing my reaction, his voice became even softer. "Miss, don't be afraid. I am Lin Huai, the Sect Master of Shu Mountain. I came down the mountain this time to exterminate demonic evils."

Lin Huai said that those bandits were not ordinary people. They specifically kidnapped young girls to practice evil techniques.

All the girls who were kidnapped before me have already been killed.

Only I remained, saved by Lin Huai.

I was filled with gratitude and spoke with courtesy. "Master, your great kindness is beyond my ability to repay. I am willing to be a cow or a horse in my next life to repay you..."

Lin Huai interrupted me. "There's no need to wait for the next life."

Me: "?"

Are you suggesting that I become a cow or a horse in this life?

Why don't you fly to the heavens?

Lin Huai raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly. "Since it's a life-saving grace, how about offering yourself to me, Miss?"

Me: "..."

Are you polite, asking a demon to marry a Taoist?

Lin Huai spoke tenderly, his eyes filled with affection. "Miss, are you unwilling?"

A blush spread across my face, overwhelmed by shyness. "Of course, I'm willing."

Laughable. I didn't dare to resist at all.

Moreover, I highly suspect that Lin Huai has figured something out.
