Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

"Why are you so fussy about just three drops of blood? You act so serious, I thought you were going to drain all my blood."

Su Chen laughed dumbly: "Haha, honey, you misunderstood. How could I bear to take so much blood from you? Three drops are enough."

Qin Wushuang put down the knife and motioned him to take a silver needle, prick his finger with it, and drip the liquid into the transparent porcelain bottle little by little. He stopped after dripping several drops.

Su Chen leaned over and gently wiped the blood off her finger. After bandaging it, he looked at her and said, "Wife, it may take me a while to be gone this time. I will be back when I am done."

"Well, I know the burden you bear. There are things you have to do. Go, and be sure to come back safely."

"Bring more bodyguards with you. Even if they can't do anything to exorcise the demon, at least they can be used to do some work. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

Li Fumei walked in from outside and tilted her head in confusion: "Master, where are you going? Can I go with you?"

Su Chen hesitated a little: "Fumei, have you ever seen a monster?"

"Master, are you referring to talking animals or plants? If so, I've seen them before. The tree at the entrance of the village and the century-old ginkgo tree in the school are both talking."

"Oh, there are also fierce pine needle trees, but those pine needles can't get close to me. They have pricked me before. I don't know why it is the pine needles that hurt."

Li Fumei thought for a moment and said seriously, "Then I got very angry and set fire to the pine trees. Without the pine trees, the forest became very quiet."

Su Chen: “……?”

Qin Wushuang: ...This child is a bit cruel!

"You mean, those tree demons can't get close to you?"

"Yeah, it just screams in my head. It's so loud that I can't even memorize the text."

"Master, if you are going to deal with the tree monster, can I come with you? I want to see more types of tree monsters. Besides, if you need a translator, I can translate for you."

Su Chen looked at her silently without saying a word.

After a while, he finally spoke: "It might be a little dangerous, have you thought about it?"

Li Fumei hummed, her eyes firm as she said, "I know. Nothing is strange to a cultivator. They are the opposite of those evil spirits."

"If I don't provoke them, they won't let me go, right? So I might as well make myself stronger, or I won't just wait to be eaten."

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there, but you have to be obedient and don't run around, okay?"

"Yeah, I know."

The master and the apprentice packed up their things that night and left early the next morning. They flew to the ancient town of City C. After a day of hard work, it was already dark when they arrived.

I found a hotel to stay in temporarily and planned to rest for a night before leaving.

In the dead of night

Li Fumei was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, ready to sleep, when she vaguely heard a voice calling her. Thinking she had seen a ghost again, she pulled the quilt irritably and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

The scene in front of my eyes changed in my dream. White mist slowly rose around me, and through the mist I could vaguely see a black shadow in front of me.

It is very high, and at first glance it seems to be able to block out the sky and the sun.

She had never seen anything like this before, so she walked over out of curiosity. As she walked through the white fog, the shrill screams became more and more obvious in her ears.

【Don’t go over there, don’t! 】

Li Fumei looked in the direction of the sound. There was white fog all around, and she couldn't see clearly what was inside. She quickened her pace a little, and after walking for a while, she suddenly saw a clear view.

What caught their eyes was a tree trunk that the two of them couldn't wrap their arms around. Looking upwards, they could vaguely see the trunk and branches. There seemed to be something hanging on the drooping branches.

It was a little high from the ground and she couldn't see clearly.

I walked under the tree and looked up, then I could see clearly. The moment I saw clearly, my pupils shrank. Hanging on the paper were mummies.

The mummy was swaying in the wind. If she hadn't looked closely, she wouldn't have been able to tell what it was. What was this tree, a demon or something else?
