The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

Although I don't know what happened, it's always good to get rid of the demons.

only……

Recalling the voice in her mind, Yunmeng rubbed her forehead, her lowered eyes filled with malice. She should have kept that guy alive in the first place, because she was still being influenced by him.

After finally calming down, Yunmeng turned around and saw Yu Xianxian squatting on the ground with her backside facing her.

Yunmeng: ...

"Xianxian, what are you doing?"

"Ah, I see you seem to care a lot about this jade pendant, senior sister. I'll try to see if I can put it back together."

The result was obviously cruel. Even if Yu Xianxian were a skilled craftswoman, let alone someone with clumsy hands, she wouldn't be able to piece together the broken pieces, which were already crushed to pieces and whose integrity was unknown, back into a complete jade pendant.

So, through Yu Xianxian's efforts, she successfully made the pile of debris even smaller.

Yunmeng: ...

"There's no need for that. Now that the evil spirits inside have been removed, let the jade pendant remain broken."

"Really? That Zhou Yun kid won't ask us for compensation, will he?"

Yunmeng: ...This is truly a path she never imagined.

"Ahem, Miss Xianxian, you're overthinking it,"

Just then, a guy named Zhou Yun pushed the door open and almost choked on his own saliva when he heard what he said.

He was becoming increasingly curious about how he appeared in Yu Xianxian's eyes.

"Oh, isn't this our young master Zhou? What, you've finished fighting the monsters and now you're here?"

It's no wonder Yu Xianxian was being sarcastic. Who would want someone to steal their experience after going through all the trouble of defeating a monster?

Well, although she wasn't much help with the monster-hunting.

Before Zhou Yun could speak, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind her, kneeling before the ashes on the ground and weeping bitterly: "Yue'er!"

Whose voice could it be but that of the city lord?

"Why is he here?"

Yu Xianxian immediately assumed an attack stance, one in front of the other, although it didn't seem to have any offensive power.

But Yunmeng was different. Although she didn't speak, the faint flames on her hands spoke volumes about her attitude.

If Zhou Yun hadn't spoken up in time, the city lord might have turned into a human torch in the next second.

"Wait, ladies, my father seems to have regained his senses."

As he spoke, he looked at the jade pendant on the ground, now reduced to rubble, and continued, "Perhaps it's because the demon within the jade pendant has been exorcised that Father has returned to normal. It's just a pity, my younger sister..."

As he spoke, Zhou Yun choked up. Indeed, who could calmly recount the death of a family member?

Zhou Tianyi stood up and turned to bow to Yunmeng and Yu Xianxian, saying, "Thank you both for getting rid of the demons and saving me, and also for freeing Yue'er... and Yue'er."

As he spoke, Zhou Tianyi's voice choked up again, clearly unable to let go of Zhou Yue's death.

"It's alright. Exorcising demons is what we immortals are supposed to do. I was just doing my duty."

"Yes, but I, Xueyucheng, am deeply grateful for your great kindness..."

As she spoke, Yunmeng lowered her hand, but the next second she suddenly raised it again, and a fireball rushed towards Zhou Tianyi, who was speaking.

At this moment, neither Yu Xianxian nor Zhou Yun had reacted yet, but Zhou Tianyi reacted extremely quickly and dodged to the side.

"What does Miss Yun mean by this?"

"As I said, exorcising demons is the duty of those in the immortal sects, and exorcising evil spirits is no exception."

"magic?"

Zhou Yun stepped forward, looking at the two people opposite him in disbelief, and said to Yun Meng, "Miss Yun, please don't joke around. How could my father be a demon?"

Although he was smiling, anyone could tell how forced that smile was.

“Young Master Zhou, is it possible that he is not Lord Zhou at all?”

"He's not my father?"

Zhou Yun looked at Zhou Tianyi in disbelief, his eyes filled with disbelief, but the next second the other party shattered his last bit of hope.

"Heh, what a hassle, I've actually been found out."

As Zhou Tianyi spoke, his skin began to fester rapidly, and a hand pierced through his chest, peeling off the human skin as if taking off clothes.

What emerged from inside was a man in a black robe. Contrary to Yu Xianxian's expectations, he did not have the body of a strange animal. The only surprising thing was his face.

It's not that he's ugly or strange-looking, but that he simply doesn't have a face.

Yu Xianxian: ...Compared to Zhou Yue, who has a spider's body, she can barely accept this one, since it's not that ugly.

In stark contrast to Yu Xianxian's positive attitude, Zhou Yun on the other side presented a different picture.

He was so frightened to see his father's body being worn like clothes and impersonated as his father that he collapsed to the ground.

"You, who are you?"

"I am Loka, one of the Demon Lord's four protectors..."

"Loga? You're Loga?"

"Of course not, I am Lord Loga's subordinate, Faceless."

Yu Xianxian: ...Would you die if you didn't breathe properly when you spoke?

"Faceless? Why are you impersonating City Lord Zhou?"

Yunmeng looked at the limp, muddy mess on the ground, her eyes narrowed. She might as well ask, how was he able to do that?

"Heh, back then when the Demon Lord was defeated, the people of the Demon Realm were hunted down everywhere. Lord Luo Jia was also seriously injured by the peak master of the Immortal Sect, so he came to this remote town to recuperate. I never expected that a lowly human would seal Lord Luo Jia away while he was still recovering. So I took advantage of the woman's death to kill her husband, put on his skin, and look for an opportunity to release Lord Luo Jia."

"Wow, what a loyal dog."

Yu Xianxian said she applauded this act of aiding and abetting evil, never expecting that there would be such loyal dogs in the demon realm.

As soon as Yu Xianxian uttered those words that were meant to provoke hatred, Wumian glared at her fiercely.

Uh, don't ask him how he can glare at her even though he has no eyes. People can still talk even if they don't have mouths, right? Anyway, Yu Xianxian just felt the murderous intent in his eyes.

"So, you've been impersonating your father all these years?"

Seeing Zhou Yun's grief-stricken appearance, Wumian sneered: "Heh, do you think I want to be the father of you mortals? That feeling is disgusting."

"So, was it you who caused Yue'er to be bewitched?"

"Ah, yes? Let me tell you, not long after you left, I found a way to release the Lord's demonic energy. The Lord has the power to bewitch people, and even a little bit of his demonic energy is enough to corrupt an ordinary human."

"No wonder?"

Zhou Yun's hands hung limply at his sides, and he looked utterly dejected.

"Originally, after Zhou Yue was affected by demonic energy, I only approached her as a man in black and made her obey me, just in case my identity was exposed. It's just a pity that you are too clever for your own good."

Wumian looked at Yunmeng with a sinister expression. Uh, don't ask how I could tell.
