The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

When Wen Li woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky, and the person beside her was nowhere to be seen.

The thought of Shen Yingsi seemed to still echo in Wen Li's ears.

Wen Li couldn't understand it. Shen Yingsi wasn't usually very talkative. Wasn't she usually the one doing all the talking while he listened?

Why is it that once we're in bed, this guy becomes so talkative and demanding, and she has to respond to him...?

The second master squeezed in through the crack in the door, called out to her twice, and she stretched her body before getting off the bed.

The sun was shining brightly today. Outside the courtyard, Shen Yingsi was digging a hole in the ground with a hoe, while a small row of saplings stood tall beside him.

Shen Yingsi noticed her arrival, looked up and smiled at her.

"You're awake? The food's warming up in the kitchen. Go eat first."

"Will these trees survive?" Wen Li asked, looking at the seemingly frail saplings.

"Yes, I planted a spirit tree, which grows faster and has stronger vitality than ordinary trees. It will bloom and bear fruit next year."

Shen Yingsi was busy with his head down, and Second Master also ran over to help him stabilize the sapling.

Wen Li glanced at the pile of saplings and said, "Then I'll go eat first, and then I'll come help you."

Shen Yingsi watched her anxious back and said, "Slow down, don't rush."

"know."

After finishing her meal, Wen Li picked up the small hoe that Shen Yingsi had prepared for her. She could only move one hand, but she worked with great efficiency.

What kinds of trees are these?

"They're all fruit trees, including pear, peach, and cherry trees..."

“These are all my favorite foods! Let’s put up a trellis in the yard and grow grapes.”

"Okay! I'll go tomorrow."

"Shen Yingsi, what do you like to eat?"

Shen Yingsi thought about it carefully before answering, "I like to eat whatever my wife likes to eat."

Wen Li was very happy and proud. "My husband really knows what it means to be a wife who follows her husband's lead. I'll cook dinner tonight; you haven't tasted my cooking yet."

"it is good."

At night, they sat in the courtyard, just like an ordinary couple, working and eating together.

This time, Wen Li cooked, while Shen Yingsi helped tend the fire. After a table full of dishes was ready, the Second Master ate a couple of bites and ran off. Wen Li also ate a couple of bites and then sat there watching Shen Yingsi eat. He ate with great relish, and the entire table full of food ended up in his stomach.

Over the next two days, Wen Li, Shen Yingsi, and their dog Er Ye planted over a hundred trees in front of the yard.

They all looked forward to the day when the fruit trees would blossom and bear fruit.

Wen Li was very popular in the neighborhood; everyone, young and old, liked to play with her. At first, everyone took her to pick fruit, weave cloth, and pick tea. Later, as she became more familiar with everyone, she took the lead in their activities. Wen Li led them hunting and monster-catching, and sometimes she would teach them some basic monster-catching skills.

She possesses powerful magic and is also a formidable swordsman. Anyone in the neighborhood who asks her to exorcise a demon will do so, as long as she's in a good mood, and she never charges a penny. Everyone enjoys hanging out with her.

However, she wasn't particularly playful. Although Shen Yingsi always followed her around, he didn't actually like being with other people. So, Wen Li mostly spent her time playing with Shen Yingsi alone. What could she do? He was so good at playing the victim.

Unfortunately, before they had lived there for three months, a large number of soldiers arrived. They had a clear objective and surrounded the area.

Their arrival was both sudden and slow; it was just an ordinary day. Wen Li and Shen Yingsi had just finished fishing and were walking behind, carrying a full bucket of their catch, while Second Master ran ahead excitedly.

Before they even reached home, they sensed the commotion. From the air, they could see a large number of soldiers, including Xie Xiao.

Perhaps someone leaked their whereabouts, and they could hardly deceive Xie Xiao, so they had no choice but to leave.

Sure enough, Xie Xiao and his men stayed there for several days afterward, and even demons came after hearing the news.

Wen Li had long been mentally prepared to leave. She just felt it was a pity, since she had just gotten used to life here and now she had to leave.

Wen Li felt that her bad luck couldn't overpower Shen Yingsi's good luck. After that, no matter where they hid, they were always found.

Later, they discovered that it was Chi Qing and a group of gods and immortals in heaven and earth who conspired together to spread the news to humans and demons wherever Wen Li and Shen Yingsi went.

If they were found by humans, the soldiers wouldn't kill indiscriminately. But if they were found by demons, and the demons couldn't find them, they would kill the local people indiscriminately. Sometimes, they would leave, and those who encountered them afterward would be killed by the demons in a fit of rage.

Gradually, they stopped living in populated areas.

Wen Li said it didn't matter, she was happy as long as they could be together.

……

Two years later.

After the Ghost Valley Seal was ravaged by the rain of flowers, it became precarious. When the demons learned of the Demon Lord's reappearance, they united and their fighting spirit was ignited.

Since then, wars have raged between humans and demons, with Danli being the main territory they fought over.

Over the past two years, most of the demons in Guigu have escaped. Of the three cities of Danli, Tianqu and Lanjiang have been captured by demons, and now only Shaling remains.

Not only Danli, but the entire Manzhou region has become a nightmare territory. Perhaps before long, the three cities of Danli will fall completely into the hands of demons.

"I disagree! Withdraw the troops? Are you crazy or stupid?!"

Inside the military camp, Liang Tian suddenly stood up from her chair and roared at Xie Wanzhou, while the two female deputy generals beside her made a move to stop her.

Everyone present looked at her.

Xie Wanzhou sat upright in his chair, his face stern. Seeing this, Xie Xiao spoke up to remind Liang Tian.

"General Liang, please calm down. This is just a suggestion from the lord."

"A suggestion?" Liang Tian scoffed lightly and continued, "Whether this is a suggestion or an order, you know the answer in your hearts."

Xie Wanzhou remained silent. His men, trying to guess his meaning, tentatively said, "This war has been going on for two years, and Tianqu has already been defeated. There's no point in us holding out here."

Xie Wanzhou remained silent, but those below already knew what he was thinking.

So they all spoke up boldly.

"Liang Qi! How many people have died for your Danli army? Are you only satisfied when all of our Yuling Army has died here, and the demons can easily cross the Moon Half and invade the Great Jin?"

"Besides, we've done our best. This pill should have been abandoned long ago."

"That's right, General Liang should be mindful of his status and just follow orders."

"If you ask me, Danli should have been abandoned long ago. It can neither block Guigu nor defeat the demon army that has emerged from the front. Staying there is just waiting to die."

The two female lieutenants behind Liang Tian rushed out and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Liang Tian raised her hand to signal them to be quiet. She said, "Danli is also part of the Great Jin now. The people of Danli are also the people of the Great Jin. The people of Tianqu and Lanjiang are all here now, along with a large number of wounded soldiers."

At this point, Liang Tian sneered, trying her best to suppress her anger and persuade them.

"The boundary between Danli and Yunzhong is a mountain range! The difference in altitude is huge. We can fly across, but what about others? Even if they go around it, it will take them half a month, or even more than a month for some elderly people and children! How many people will die along the way?"

"Moreover, if Danli is lost, wouldn't Langyang be in grave danger, sandwiched between Danli and Manzhou?"
