My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Lu Qianye looked puzzled after hearing this.

"What did you say? No way... Qiao Dawan, I invite him to my house for dinner every day. Isn't he just a kid? Besides, he even saved me in a river in another province."

"To be honest, Miss Lu, Taotie is a monster born with greed. Hunger controls its mind, causing it to lurk among humans and do all sorts of evil things."

"Joey" told Lu Qianye that the boy was behaving so obediently now.

They were all lying to her.

Once she's completely let her guard down, eat her.

"No... doesn't he call you master? Do you have any way to stop him from being so hungry?"

"Joey" sighed and shook her head helplessly.

"Taotie, one of the four ferocious beasts, only recognized a master temporarily to save the thousands of lives in Shiqiao Village. You don't know, do you? The people of Shiqiao Village were almost completely devoured by him, which is why I brought him out."

Wait until Taotie comes back from outside.

"Joey" has already entered the house.

Lu Qianye pursed his lips.

To be honest, being told that a child had been deceiving me all along made me feel a little upset, no, I was quite hurt.

After all, she had taken care of the child with all her heart.

Okay, even if he's not a child at all.

"that……"

The boy was also very upset.

"Sister Lu, I'm afraid I can't stay here anymore..."

Lu Qianye stood up.

"Did you eat a lot of people in Shiqiao Village?"

"I……"

The boy was taken aback, and his big eyes immediately showed surprise.

"I...I was..."

In an instant, he recognized that this was what Old Man Qiao had told Lu Qianye.

Old Man Joe doesn't like me anymore...

Indeed, having eaten so much, he seemed to have unconsciously absorbed the souls of the villagers in Shiqiao Village.

For Lu Qianye, who was upright and righteous, he was indeed terrible.

Just then, Inugami was packing his bags, preparing to leave.

Old Man Joe was puzzled.

Why are you leaving?

"release!"

When Qiao Dawan entered the house, he encountered "Qiao Yi," who spoke leisurely.

"These two seem to have had an argument because of the Stone Bridge Village incident. Oh right, it seems that the Dog God told Lu Qianye about your soul-absorbing activities in Stone Bridge Village."

The boy was stunned, then looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"he……"

The boy stepped forward to demand an explanation, but "Joey" reached out and stopped him.

"What's the point of questioning him? Why would he admit it?"

The boy's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"All those principles he always told me were just lies?!"

"Joey" shrugged. "This dog god, I also think he's strange. He lives with us, but he's always preoccupied with his own thoughts and doesn't tell us the truth... I even suspect he might be dreaming about that woman bewitching him..."

The boy gritted his teeth.

Just then, a green-haired man emerged from behind the hut.

He tilted his head.

"Miss Qiao, you're back!"

"Joey" was taken aback.

She searched her memory but couldn't recall having such a person in the real Joey's life.

To avoid giving herself away, she could only hum in response.

That was Qing Shu. He rarely turned back into a human because Lu Qianye always tried to get him registered, which annoyed and frustrated him.

Even though he explained many times that he was not human and did not need a human body, he could just settle down behind the small courtyard and live off the rain and soil.

But Lu Qianye felt awkward about it and wanted to get him a temporary residence permit.

Qing Shu added, "Perfect timing. I came out this time to try again. Before, when Hua Ran had no body, I couldn't detect his true feelings, but as he has more and more limbs, things have changed on my end as well."

"Ah... Hua Ran went to buy chicken."

"It's alright, Miss Qiao. Come here, tell me you love Hua Ran, and then I'll go get a piece of Hua Ran's clothing to try on... Lately, my roots have been able to penetrate very deep into the ground, and I feel like my abilities have become a bit stronger. I can even test someone's clothing..."

Joey frowned slightly.

But I still say, "I love floral dyeing."

Haruki's face was expressionless, but the hand behind his back was clenched into a fist.

He nodded. "Indeed, Miss Qiao truly loves flower dyeing."

Qiao Dawan was about to leave when Qing Shu grabbed his hand.

"Let me try it on you."

"Why are you testing me? Let go!"

"Try it!"

Qing Shu squeezed Qiao Dawan's wrist, led Qiao Dawan to the backyard, and kept winking at Qiao Dawan.

After he settled down, he swallowed hard.

She crouched down and whispered, "That wasn't Miss Qiao... She said she loved Hua Ran, but that was a lie. I tested Miss Qiao dozens of times. When she left, I could still clearly feel her love for Hua Ran, but why was it gone when she came back?"

Haruki added, "And...and strangely enough, her emotions are completely empty."

Qiao Dawan immediately understood what was going on.

Shadow Monster...

He had heard Joey mention, especially after dealing with the Candle Dragon incident, that there was someone who looked a lot like her.

Think about it again.

All the words he was hearing now came from her mouth; he hadn't heard Old Man Qiao say them himself.

"She's trying to sow discord!"

Qiao Dawan quickly ran back and saw Old Man Qiao holding a knife in both hands, walking shakily behind Lu Qianye.

!!!

Old Man Joe has been taken into custody!

Looking around, the woman impersonating Qiao Yi was nowhere to be seen, but Qiao Dawan knew that she must be watching from somewhere.

She won't leave until she sees the results of her efforts to sow discord.

Qiao Dawang looked at Qiao Laodie again; his feet were off the ground, as if he were being controlled and suspended by some kind of silk thread.

It's no wonder that Lu Qianye, a martial artist, was completely unaware of what was happening behind him.

Monsters and demons can't harm Lu Qianye, but humans can!

A person with righteousness is meant to guard against evil and filth!

"Sister Lu!"

Qiao Dawang rushed over and grabbed Qiao Laodie's hand.

Old Man Qiao's eyes were glazed over, and when he saw Big Bowl Qiao, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"I...I can't control myself..."

"Don't go... I... I believe... you won't eat me, you won't..."

"You're a good boy...you're a good child..."

But the next moment, a beam of light flew from the horizon and struck the spot where Qiao Dawang was.

Lu Qianye and Old Man Qiao were both affected!

Qiao Dawang only managed to utter half a sentence.

"You damn dog! You're really going to do this..."

Smoke rose.

Lu Qianye fell to the side, completely stunned by the fall.

"What's going on? Qiao Dawang, Dawang!"

Lu Qianye rubbed her eyes. The first thing she saw was Old Man Qiao lying on the ground.

"Hey, hello!"

Old Man Qiao was in a bad state, lying motionless on the ground. Lu Qianye crawled over, wanting to check on Old Man Qiao's breathing. Just as he reached out his hand, he heard a young boy's voice.

"Don't move, he's catching us! Dogs have a very keen sense of hearing and smell."

Lu Qianye was dumbfounded.

Who is this boy next to me whose clothes are torn, revealing his fair shoulders?

"You are……"

"I am Qiao Dawang!"
