The two smiled at each other and walked towards where the handkerchief was placed. Mu Sheng picked up the handkerchief first and handed it to Jiuning.

"Something has happened to the Mu family these past few days. Not only have they gathered everyone, but they've also sent a lot of people on patrol. You shouldn't go out these few days."

Mu Sheng said worriedly while wiping the sweat off his face.

"Okay, then I'll be in the Demon Locking Tower. If you need anything, you need to use the communication talisman."

Jiu Ning wiped his hands, and Mu Sheng took it and put it away.

The movements are so natural, it has become a habit over the years.

Before leaving, they left behind a lot of delicious food.

In the past few years, not only has she been taking care of Mu Sheng, but Mu Sheng has also taken good care of her.

Mu Sheng arranged everything for her, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, but...

Jiuning looked at the black clothes on his body with dissatisfaction.

Can you change the color? When she was little, she could wear pink, blue, and some velvet flowers, and dress up beautifully.

Now I can only follow Mu Sheng and wear black and gold, or at most a little red, which is so ugly.

Jiuning also secretly went out to make clothes, but they disappeared after only a few days of wearing them.

Hate it, who knows it? It was Mu Sheng who did it.

On this day, Jiu Ning was in the Demon Locking Tower, trying to practice, but he just couldn't calm down.

I haven't heard of any action from the Mu family, so Mu Sheng shouldn't be in danger. Even if there is danger, it won't be his turn!

But she was still panicking. It was already dark, and the communication talisman still hadn't lit up, which made her even more uneasy.

"Zi Qi···"

Although the Demon Locking Tower is within the Mu family's territory, it is located in a remote area, and no one here can hear anything that happens in the family.

No, she wanted to go out and take a look. In an instant, the air around her condensed, and a biting cold rushed up her back. The monsters in the tower became restless in an instant.

"what···"

The guard outside the door..., the Mu family might also... Ziqi...

Jiuning stared at the gate. There was a terrifying existence there. Her legs were out of control and she refused to move forward.

There was a lot of chattering sounds around her, and the big demons huddled in the corner and trembled.

"You can't stop me. I must go out and take a look. You'd better not hurt Ziqi... Otherwise I won't let you go..."

Suddenly a red light came crashing down, and she fell backwards along with the broken door panel.

“Ah…Pfft…”

Who is it? It’s amazing. She couldn’t even handle a single encounter.

Jiu Ning propped herself up, and the blood on half of her body made her look extremely embarrassed.

The blow just now was so fierce that it made her vision blurry.

"you…"

"Jiujiu, child, you took good care of Ah Sheng. From now on..."

My vision became increasingly blurred, my head tilted, and then I could hear shrill screams in my ears.

At this time, the Mu family was in flames, murderous aura was rising to the sky, and the ground was littered with broken swords and knives. Apart from the crackling sound of the burning flames, there was no other sound.

"Sister..."

Mu Sheng turned over the bodies one by one to check. These were all faces he was familiar with, but now they were lying on the ground in a miserable state of death.

"Sister...Sister."

The woman in white frowned and gradually woke up. The burning sensation of fire and the smell of blood hit her face.

"Father...Father..."

Right next to her, the head of the Mu family, Mu Huaijiang, had his neck cut by a sword and died.

Mu Yao's eyes were filled with tears as she lay on her father and burst into tears.

"Sister..."

Mu Sheng came over, his eyes flickering.

Mu Yao seemed to have found her backbone and grabbed Mu Sheng's arm.

"Ah Sheng...what on earth happened?"

Mu Sheng looked at the other person in shock. The other person obviously didn't remember what happened today.

"It was the resentful woman. She escaped from the Heavenly Secret Formation set up by my father and killed everyone."

"Oh no, the Demon Locking Tower."

Mu Sheng didn't have time to say anything more and turned around and ran towards the Demon Locking Tower.

Before he got close, his heart sank. Two guards fell by the door. The door was broken open and the body of the big demon inside was scattered on the ground.

Everyone's inner elixir was dug out, and Jiuning was covered in blood.

"For a long time..."

Mu Sheng's heartbeat stopped instantly, his hands and feet became uncontrollable, and the blood in his body froze.

He stepped forward cautiously, his fingers trembling as he probed into Jiuning's nostrils to feel his breath. In just a moment, Mu Sheng lowered his head and smiled, breathing a sigh of relief.

He gently lifted her up, carefully held her in his arms, and felt her warmth.

"Fortunately...Fortunately, you didn't leave me."

Listening to the footsteps approaching, Mu Sheng gently rocked the person in his arms.

"Jiujiu, change back to your original form."

Jiu Ning seemed to sense the other party's intention, and in an instant turned into golden light, forming a mirror, which fell into Mu Sheng's hands.

Just before Mu Yao ran in, he put it against his chest.

"Ah Sheng, why did you rush to the Demon Locking Tower? Could the Mu family's extermination be related to the monsters here?"

Mu Sheng lowered his head to hide his inner panic and walked around to check the situation.

"No, sister, I'm just worried about something so big happening to the Mu family. If something happens in the Demon Locking Tower, neither you nor I can stop it."

I'm sorry, sister. I didn't mean to lie to you. It's just a long time ago and I can't tell you yet.

Mu Yao nodded and looked into the Demon Locking Tower. There was no trace of evil spirit left, and the coldness that had been condensed in the tower for years also disappeared in an instant.

The great demon that once frightened everyone had not only its inner elixir dug out and its essence and blood sucked out, but even its corpse was not left intact.

Looking at the devastated scene that seemed like hell on earth, Mu Yao became furious.

"Big demon, you annihilated my entire Mu family. Even if there are only two of us left, I will never let you go."

Seven years later, Taicang County.

"Have you heard? There's been a monster appearing in Taicang County lately. Two grooms have already been bewitched and refuse to marry their brides no matter what. We must ask a Taoist priest to capture the monster."

"That's not right. I heard that the two grooms were attracted to the monster. I heard that the monster was extremely beautiful, and anyone who saw her wanted to marry her."

"Yes, yes. I heard from the groom's servant that she is a fairy from a painting, a mountain spirit, comparable to the living Queen Enchantress."

"You said, the county magistrate also found a son-in-law for his daughter at this time, would it be possible..."

Everyone was talking about it, and the monster they were talking about did come to the county magistrate's mansion, the Lin family, just as they said.

The Lin family residence is extremely luxurious, with rooftops, pavilions, rockery, and ponds all meticulously crafted.

The house was even more festive and lively at this time. Red lanterns, red carpets, and everything that could be decorated were all changed to red.

When night fell, the bride was wearing a red wedding dress with royal blue embellishments, and her hair was full of pearls and jade, making her look radiant. The bride herself was also a very beautiful girl.

The groom who walked in was just the opposite. He had a cold temperament and no joy on his face. He pushed the door open and entered the bridal chamber, and his words were extremely perfunctory.

"Let's drink to each other's cups!"

Hearing this, the big demon in the mirror started to grind his teeth.

Marrying a man like this will bring you a lifetime of misfortune. He is not even sincere in getting married. Such a man does not deserve a bride who loves him.

Just as the two of them raised their cups to drink together, the demon instantly cast a spell, confusing the other party and slowly walked to the mirror step by step.

Jiu Ning stretched out her slender jade-like fingers and slowly extended them, then looked at the other person's face clearly.

"Brother Liu!!!"

She was so surprised that she wanted to pull her hand back, but the other party grabbed it and dragged her out.

In such shock, she only had time to cast an illusion on her face so that people couldn't see her appearance clearly.

Didn't Brother Liu like Sister Mu Yao? Why did he marry a strange woman?

What happened during the time she was away?
