51: Section 51

“That’s right, our five brothers were living perfectly fine in Yin Mountain, but Yu Luoniang used the method of dispatching ghosts to forcibly capture us to work for her.”

“Essentially, we were unwilling!”

“……”

“After listening to the Five Ghosts’ explanation, you realized that Yu Luoniang was the Demon entrenched in Gulan County.”

“The previous County Magistrate was likely killed or driven away by these Five Ghosts.”

“Furthermore, Zheng Boyuan must have an intricate connection with Yu Luoniang.”

“You had just finished presiding over a case during the day, and then at night, minor ghosts were sent after you. Even a fool would understand whose doing it was.”

“Unfortunately, Zheng Boyuan didn’t know you possessed such miraculous power. Not only did you not die, but you also captured these minor ghosts.”

“You immediately returned to the desk and wielded your brush, letting the strokes flow as you wrote three ‘Kill’ characters!”

“The ‘Kill’ character was far more ferocious than the ‘Suppress’ character. Streams of red light, representing the Qi of heaven and earth’s Severe ( Kill), drilled into them, terrifying the Five Ghosts.”

“They perceived that if you had initially written the ‘Kill’ character, they would have no chance of survival now!”

“You picked up the paper and looked at the Five Ghosts.”

“Now, take me to find Yu Luoniang.”

“Upon learning that you intended to find Yu Luoniang, the Five Ghosts frantically led the way, exiting the County Government and heading towards Chessboard Street in Gulan County.”

“Chessboard Street is where the Hanjiang Restaurant is located, serving as the center of Gulan County. Eight long alleys radiate from here, connecting the entire county town.”

“When you arrived at Chessboard Street, the Hanjiang Restaurant was still bustling with people seeking pleasure.”

“Someone recognized you at this moment. You had already established your presence and reputation in Gulan County after presiding over the case during the day.”

“When those who recognized you saw you also visiting the Hanjiang Restaurant, they immediately showed an expression of ‘we’re all men, I understand’.”

“And at this moment, in your eyes, the top floor of the Hanjiang Restaurant was the center of a giant spiderweb. This spiderweb covered the sky and obscured the sun, enveloping more than half of Gulan County, and a large amount of transparent Life Qi was being absorbed by the spiderweb.”

“You thought of a saying at this moment: ‘Heaven gives birth and heaven kills, this is the Dao. Heaven and earth are the thieves of all things; all things are the thieves of humans; humans are the thieves of all things’.”

“Humans steal from all things to nourish their own spirit, while all things also steal from human spirit.”

“Humans, in order to survive, cut down trees, capture wild beasts, Cultivate, raise, cook, and consume, stealing resources from heaven and earth and all things. Therefore, humans are the thieves of all things.”

“All things, through human desires—ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and mind—greatly consume human essence, Qi, and spirit, thereby stealing them back.”

“This is like seeing a beautiful flower: do you place your mind on this flower, or do you place the flower in your eyes?”

“Everyone places their mind on this flower.”

“Seeing a scene evokes emotions, indulging in desires, and depleting essence, Qi, and blood.”

“And this spiderweb, in your eyes, is that net that steals from humanity, the net of all things.”

“This Yu Luoniang, through some unknown method, is absorbing the essence, Qi, and spirit of the people of an entire county.”

“The essence, Qi, and spirit that should be naturally consumed are being deliberately absorbed by this spiderweb, which is an extremely detrimental matter.”

“People will pay a huge price for this. Once their essence, Qi, and spirit are exhausted, they will go from youth to old age, becoming decrepit and spiritless.”

“Such a Demon must be eliminated swiftly!”

“You followed the Five Ghosts and entered this brothel.”

“Upon seeing your arrival, some officials were startled, unsure of your purpose in coming here.”

“But you did not linger; instead, you walked directly to the top floor.”

“When you reached the top floor, you found that there was only one room, its door tightly shut, and the surroundings incredibly quiet.”

“Just as you were about to push the door open, the door opened by itself without any wind, and a woman with snow-white skin and white clothes emerged from behind a screen.”

“The woman’s skin was cool and pale, her appearance extremely beautiful, captivating one’s mind.”

“Even you, at this moment, had eyes that were somewhat unsettled.”

...

Looking at the woman in the image, Su Mo was quite amazed.

Presumably, this was Yu Luoniang.

This woman’s appearance and demeanor seemed to be on par with Xiao Qing, each having their own unique charm.

Could it be that...

All female Demons become this beautiful after transforming?

However, Su Mo immediately dismissed this thought when he recalled some female Demons he had seen earlier in the Yin Yang Market.

He felt that this should be related to the female Demon's own aesthetic sense.

Some female Demons haven't shed their beastly nature, and their aesthetics still lean towards animals, so they aren't beautiful.

The beautiful ones should be those whose humanity outweighs their beastliness, who have high Comprehension Ability, and good Opportunity.

Such female Demons should be very rare...

After thinking for a while, Su Mo continued to look at the simulated scene.

...

In the scene...

“The woman’s crimson lips curved into a smile before she even spoke.”

“Sir, since you’ve come, why not have a cup of fresh tea?”

“After speaking, the woman stepped aside. A pot of fragrant tea had already been brewed on the tea table in the room.”

“It was clear that she had already known of your arrival.”

“You saw the Five Ghosts trembling beside you, not daring to step forward, and immediately understood that this was the Yu Luoniang they spoke of.”

“You followed Yu Luoniang into the room.”

“Inside the room, red candles flickered, and the dressing table was elegant. Embroidered curtains were lightly drawn, and the ornate bed exuded fragrance.”

“Yu Luoniang?”

“It is I, your humble servant. Sir, I truly underestimated you before.”

“Suddenly, Yu Luoniang seemed to trip over something, and her body fell directly into your arms.”

“You instinctively embraced the woman in front of you, and a rich, unique fragrance wafted into your nostrils in wisps…”

“Yu Luoniang gently placed one of your fingers into her cherry mouth. You only felt warmth, moisture…”

“Sir, you must be tired from investigating the case. Why don’t we tonight…”

Chapter 61: Subduing Yu Luoniang, Initially Opening the Situation

“What is your choice at this moment?”

“Option 1: Agree to Yu Luoniang’s request and spend the night with her.”

“Option 2: Activate the ‘Suppress’ character paper, and while Yu Luoniang is unprepared, suppress her and take her as a concubine.”

“Option 3: Activate the ‘Kill’ character paper, kill Yu Luoniang, and destroy the entire Hanjiang Restaurant.”

...

Seeing the three options that appeared, Su Mo was quite excited.

It would be too much of a pity to kill such a beautiful girl; the remaining choices were only between the first and second options.

The first option was boring, and if Yu Luoniang found an Opportunity, she would definitely try to kill him.

Now.

Only the second option could be chosen.

Without hesitation, Su Mo decisively chose the second option.

...

“You chose the second option.”

“Looking at Yu Luoniang, who was exhaling like an orchid, you directly picked her up by the waist and threw her onto the bed.”

“Then you tore at the clothes on Yu Luoniang’s back with your teeth, and soon most of her clothes were ripped.”

“Feeling the stimulation on her back, Yu Luoniang was somewhat angry. She had never been taken such advantage of by a man.”

“But she remained outwardly calm, turning her head to look at you from where she lay on the bed.”

“Sir, so you like this…”

“You said nothing, but instead took out the ‘Suppress’ character paper and stuck it onto Yu Luoniang’s smooth, jade-like back.”

“The next moment, a powerful white light flashed. Yu Luoniang felt as if a huge mountain had been pressed onto her body, and she was unable to move an inch from where she lay on the bed!”

“Looking at Yu Luoniang, who had been suppressed by you, you felt relieved, and at the same time, you were startled by the immense power of the characters you wrote.”

“Yu Luoniang, do you know your mistake?”

“Yu Luoniang was a little breathless at this moment, biting her thin lips, and looking at you with unwilling eyes.”

“I… I know I was wrong. Please, Sir, have mercy on me and remove this paper…”

“I, I’m a little out of breath…”

“After speaking, Yu Luoniang let out a soft moan, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.”

“You remained unmoved by her appearance. In your opinion, this was merely Yu Luoniang’s means of bewitching people.”

“Until this female Demon was completely subdued, you would not believe anything she said.”

“You looked around and saw that there were also writing tools in Yu Luoniang’s room. You then quickly stepped forward, took a thick brush, dipped it in rich ink, and wrote a large ‘Seal’ character on Yu Luoniang’s delicate and smooth forehead.”

“You vaguely had an epiphany that only this way could Yu Luoniang’s power be sealed.”

“As the final stroke fell, the ‘Seal’ character shone brightly at this moment, quickly seeping into Yu Luoniang’s skin, like a natural tattoo imprinted upon it.”

“After the ‘Suppress’ character talisman was removed, Yu Luoniang was horrified to discover that her demonic power within her body was completely gone, her Meridians empty, no different from an ordinary Mortal woman.”

“You were very happy to see that Yu Luoniang could no longer use her abilities.”

“Currently, you are becoming more and more proficient in using the power within your body.”

“After having Yu Luoniang change into a set of clothes, you stated your demands.”

“Yu Luoniang, if you behave obediently in the coming days, I will consider unsealing your power step by step.”

“But if you don’t listen, then be a Mortal for the rest of your life!”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Upon hearing your words, Yu Luoniang had no other choice but to nod in agreement.”

“This Demon, Yu Luoniang, has now completely become your aid.”

“But for the sake of the upcoming plan to proceed smoothly, you took a fine brush and wrote a small ‘Unseal’ character on Yu Luoniang’s delicate and smooth forehead.”

“When the ‘Unseal’ character fell, Yu Luoniang vaguely felt that the ‘Seal’ character on her back had faded slightly.”

“A trace of demonic power even appeared within her body, nourishing her dried-up Meridians.”

“Now, her cultivation level is no different from that of a minor Demon who has Cultivated for decades.”

“Feeling her power return, Yu Luoniang’s face showed excitement.”

“Thank you, Sir!”

“It’s nothing. As long as you are obedient, then it’s not impossible for me to unseal all your power later.”

“Upon hearing your promise, Yu Luoniang’s originally somewhat despairing eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.”

“If that were truly the case, she would at most have to serve you for a few decades to regain her freedom.”

“For Demons like them, a few decades are nothing at all.”

“But she wasn’t sure if you were deceiving her, so she cautiously asked you.”

“Guan… Sir, is that true?”

“Of course, what kind of person do you take me for?”
