Yinshan Record

Chapter 208 Willingness
The mansion is a self-contained, secluded compound.

The surroundings were quiet, with no sounds of birds or insects.

The young girl, with her slender waist gracefully moving, led the way, while the night watchman followed behind, the two of them one in front and one behind.

As soon as they reached a place with many trees, the watchman could no longer restrain himself. He wrapped his calloused hand around the girl's waist and reached for her slender waist with his other hand.

"You... the masters and the others have just fallen asleep, they're still not at ease..."

"What's there to be afraid of? They screamed so loudly those nights, but we didn't see them come out..."

"No, Madam is getting impatient..."

"It's alright, I'll leave some for her..."

"dead……"

As he spoke, a series of panting sounds rang out.

Of course there will be no sound.

Su Che opened his Lieque Thunder Eyes and saw through the true nature of this deep mansion.

It was indeed a secluded mansion, but behind the seemingly tidy white walls on the outside was already a patch of overgrown weeds.

The overgrown weeds were already waist-high, and after the autumn wind blew, everything had turned yellow and withered.

The window frames and doorsteps were covered with tattered spiderwebs, indicating that even these insect hunters had moved away.

The locks on the gate were rusted and broken, the crimson rust resembling indelible blood.

The rooms in the compound were sealed with official seals from Tian'an County.

Over the years, wind and rain have battered the seal, and the once bright red seal has turned into a red stain.

There were no noble ladies or maids there, only a group of malevolent corpse demons causing trouble.

The *Xuanzhong Ji* states that those who die but do not stiffen are zombies. If they receive the essence of the sun and moon, and by chance, they can also transform into demons.

The one who colluded with this night watchman must be a group of corpse demons who evolved from those who seized the house.

What are the imperial guards of Tian'an County doing? Zhu Yi seems like a capable man, so how come they let such a group of monsters run rampant right under their noses?

"Cough...cough..."

Su Che concealed himself within the mirage and coughed twice.

The two wild lovers were so startled that they panicked for a moment.

"Is your master awake?"

The night watchman hurriedly put on the clothes he hadn't taken off.

His master is lying comfortably in his coffin.

"It shouldn't be..."

The maid's voice also carried a hint of panic, but her panic stemmed from her suspicion that a powerful figure had arrived.

The wind rustles the trees, the moon shines bright, and the shadow is lonely.

The surroundings returned to silence, as if the coughing sound just now was nothing more than an illusion.

"You must have misheard, perhaps it's your master..." the night watchman chuckled. "Good sister, here you go, brother..."

"No."

The maidservant shoved the night watchman violently.

The old man's face was full of confusion. What was wrong with the little maid who usually begged him for favors?
"You've had your fun, but Madam will punish me later. Good brother, if you feel sorry for your sister, hurry up and go find Madam."

As the maid spoke, she glanced around with her eyes wide open.

It's just a lowly corpse demon with weak cultivation; it seems it hasn't amounted to much yet.

Seeing the little maid looking around suspiciously, Su Che's suspicions deepened.

“Hong’er, I was wondering why I couldn’t wait for Brother Qin. Turns out he was out having a good time here.”

At the end of the corridor, a lady in palace attire, with beautiful features, covered her mouth with a round fan and glared fiercely at the night watchman.

"Hmph, men, they say I'm a blooming peony, but it turns out they love the budding peony the most..."

Upon seeing this, the night watchman's bones went weak, and he stammered, unable to utter a word.

"Ugh……"

"It's also to protect your health; otherwise, you would be the one riding two horses at once."

Su Che looked at the woman.

His skin was withered, and his black hair resembled a clump of wild grass. His fan was riddled with holes, revealing a toothless mouth. Large patches of mold were occasionally visible on the exposed skin of his face and hands.

The fingernails on my hands have grown so much that they've become curved.

However, a pair of eerie green eyes stared intently at the watchman in front of him, revealing an insatiable thirst.

The night watchman was lost in thought, muttering to himself in a daze.

"Madam, I didn't..."

"I know exactly what you're thinking."

She walked gracefully over and spoke to the maid.

"Hong'er, go to the back and get some money, so that Qin Lang won't be short of money."

The maid nodded and went to the back.

interesting.

That little maid and that lady are nothing but low-class monsters.

The mirage energy of the Chiwen Ring can transform itself, but the scent of the East Sea Dragon Clan cannot be removed.

If it were an old demon with cultivation, even if he had a sixth-grade cultivation level, he might not be able to detect anything unusual, but he should still be able to sense a slight discord.

But the two people in front of them were completely unaware.

Su Che's interest in why such a demon could comfortably seduce living beings in Tian'an County far outweighed his desire to slay the demon.

"So brave."

After removing the magic power of the Chiwen Ring, Su Che revealed his true form, dressed as a scholar.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid your brother will find out about this shameful thing?"

Young Master Su strode forward and kicked the corpse demon in the chest.

Although the kick was slow, Su Che subtly released his own magical power, and layers of yin energy stirred up a gentle breeze, leaving the corpse demon dumbfounded.

Where did this scholar-demon come from?
Such a deep, gloomy atmosphere.

The corpse demon looked around in panic, searching for a way to escape.

"You idiot."

Su Che grabbed the watchman by the chest and dragged him outside.

"Come, come, come with me to see the official..."

"I'm not……"

The night watchman looked at Su Che, then at the woman rolling on the ground, his eyes filled with genuine panic.

"How dare you talk back!"

Su Che raised his hand and slapped the night watchman across the face, leaving the watchman completely stunned.

Passing through layers of weeds, Su Che kicked open the old door, pulled him left and right, and they arrived at a wide crossroads.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Su Che flicked his hand, and the watchman slumped to the ground in dejection.

"Ugh……"

He let out a long sigh, and tears streamed down his face.

"Why are you crying? You won't admit to doing such a filthy thing?"

"No need to see the officials, sir. This old man thanks you for saving my life."

The night watchman wept uncontrollably, speaking in broken sentences.

"You know they're not clean?"

"I'm just a night watchman, with one foot in the human world and the other in the netherworld. What haven't I seen? The county isn't that big. I know which family died a violent death, which family died suddenly, who is a wealthy family, and who is a high-ranking official family."

Su Che smiled upon hearing this.

"So you mean you knowingly went into danger, even though you knew there were tigers in the mountains?"

"Great hero, I have been a bachelor for forty-seven years, forty-seven years! The roof leaks and the windows let in the wind."

"I work hard every night, and there are a few days every month when we have no rice to cook. I've had enough of this kind of life. Let them eat me or suck me dry, it's all up to them."

The night watchman looked at Su Che with tearful eyes: "I did this willingly. I beg you, great hero, to have mercy and let me have a few days of peace before I die."
