"How long do you plan on staying."

  Watching her eat so deliciously, Shen Yi inexplicably felt a little hungry, reached out to grab some huǒ shāo, but unexpectedly got his hand lightly patted by the others white jade-like fingers.

  Lin Baiwei handed over a clean pancake: "I set up a small shed in the backyard, trying not to disturb you, as for how long... stay for another month?"

  She is not very sure.

  Shen Yi took over the pancake, his expression unreadable.

  This woman doesnt have a single true word in her mouth, her background seems clean but actually she was sent away by the Lin family many years ago. When she came back, who knows what kind of skills she learned, and she even dared to go out of the city alone to subdue demons.

  Originally thought he was just an inexperienced young man.

  But recently, Shen Yi found that the other party was meticulous in his thoughts and seemed to have suffered hardships from his expressions and actions, and he was not a fool who didnt know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth.

  Most importantly, she provoked that group of mysterious and powerful fox spirits, how can she still be alive after returning?

  His predecessor had him locked up in a house, seemingly getting the better end of the deal, but in Shen Yis eyes, this was simply seeking death.

  Lets not talk about how a ordinary servant would deal with the Lin familys anger after this matter is exposed.

  The fox demon didnt kill her, whats the reason?!

  Shen Yi couldnt understand, so she simply didnt think about it and calmly said, "No."

  Upon hearing this, Lin Baiwei was not surprised, but instead smiled lightly and said: "Whats wrong, didnt you always want me to stay as your daughter-in-law? Are you regretting it now?"

  When he grabbed himself over, that anxious expression on his face was not fake.

  I thought that upon hearing myself slightly relax, Shen Yi would, no matter how hard she tried to remain calm and composed, still reveal some slight abnormality.

  However, the young man slightly raised his eyes.

  A moment later, a hint of ridicule flashed across those clear black and white eyes.

  Lin Baiweis eating motion slowed to a stop, her index finger wiping away the crumbs from the corner of her lips. She looked back, her delicate face captivating under Shen Yis slightly mocking gaze, gradually fading away.

  "Ah."

  She smoothed her temples and let out a rather helpless sigh. In an instant, the atmosphere around her had undergone a subtle transformation.

  Lin Baiwei sat up straight, her narrow eyes gleaming with a few more sharp intentions: "Although I dont know if youre just a small errand boy or the kind who does things for demons, why did you suddenly provoke them."

  She glanced sideways at the bloodstained clothes on the young mans body: "Isnt it unbearable to pretend to be calm? Are you eager to know the way of transcendence?"

  Lin Baiwei directly pointed out the fact that her opponent was a mortal, her legs crossed, slowly adjusting her clothes, and her eyes showed a clear coldness.

  "Call out to Master, Ill help you pass the initial threshold, how about it?"

  Earlier was too hasty, the name of martial arts compiled was too rough, today I came prepared, still cant intimidate you this young man, ridiculous.

  Lin Baiwei was confident.

  She quietly gazed at the young man.

  Right after that, she saw Shen Yi lightly lift his palm and take off the dagger at his waist, then casually place it on the table.

  "Leave your hometown to learn a trade."

  Shen Yis voice gradually became indifferent: "Are you learning to sing opera?"

  He pressed his five fingers on the scabbard, and Lin Baiwei suddenly felt herself shrouded in a thick aura of killing intent. She swallowed her saliva uncontrollably: "You... what do you want to do?"

  "Im not interested in you."

  Shen Yi shook his head: "But Im very interested in your school."

  "Ive already said I dont have a master."

  Lin Baiwei wanted to explain, but Shen Yi took out a small cloth package from her bosom and placed it beside the scabbard, casually unfolding it to reveal a faintly trembling meatball inside.

  "Prove your worth."

  Shen Yi stood with his hands hanging down, looking harmless, but the dagger and meatball on the table had already represented his attitude.

  Choose one of the two, and dont make a fuss about it, hes running out of patience.

  “……”

  Lin Baiwei stared at the meatball, her fingertips hidden in her wide sleeves trembling slightly.

  She was stunned for a moment before saying: "Beast Yuan? Where did you get that from..."

  No sooner had she finished speaking than she looked again at the bloodstained clothes on her opponents body, and the answer was self-evident.

  "About four hundred years of beast yuan, is this Huang Pizi?"

  Lin Baiweis five fingers clenched lightly, concealing the surprise in her heart. The other party had left with a pancake in the morning and returned at night with the beast yuan of a primary realm demon.

  The tax collectors of Baiyun County, when did they become so aggressive?

  She glanced at the young man and said concisely, "Generally, this kind of beast yuan can be directly used as the main material for gathering gas pills, or it can assist in refining higher-level condensation pills... In cases where conditions do not permit, direct ingestion and refinement can also bring out 70-80% effectiveness, but there will be more dregs, which may have some adverse effects on cultivation. Its best to spend a bit more time."

  "Of course, no matter what purpose it is for, its not something that a martial artist under the initial stage can enjoy... My words are true." Lin Baiweis tone became more serious.

  Upon hearing this, Shen Yi nodded and casually covered the beast core again.

  It turned out to be roughly the same as what I had guessed.

  If the other party continues to spout nonsense and insults him as if he were a poisonous medicine, then Shen Yi would really have to consider drawing his sword.

  But Lin Baiwei was able to recognize the origin of the beast yuan at a glance, which was indeed beyond his expectation. Did the other party have an understanding of all the demons and monsters near Baiyun County?

  "You can stay, but I wont get involved in your business with the fox spirit, nor will I ask about your identity."

  Shen Yi put away the items and continued: "As a condition, I want two genuine Qi Refining manuals."

  "Peach Blossom Mountain Axe, Demon-Slaying Unparalleled Sword..." Lin Baiwei had just raised her finger when she felt the young mans cold gaze sweep over her. She pouted and withdrew it: "I dont have any skills right now, I can only wait until after were rescued to give you some."

  "Okay."

  Shen Yi was also not overbearing.

  He wasnt used to putting all his eggs in one basket, and while the Demon Vanquishing Department was a good choice, if he could get in with some of the Jianghu sects, he would be able to gain more information about martial arts cultivation.

  "Bo Yun County suddenly beheaded Huang Pizi, so hes not afraid of the remaining demons getting angry?"

  Lin Baiwei picked up the roasted meat again, stuffed it with salted meat until it was bulging, and then took a big bite, chewing while mumbling unclearly: "Although demons have different factions, their attitude towards the imperial court is consistent. In my opinion, they shouldnt have moved against Huang Pizi first, its like beating the grass to scare the snakes."

  "What does it mean?" Shen Yi raised a thread of interest.

  "This demon dog is just at the beginning of its journey, while the ape that communicates with heaven has been staying in the eastern mountains for many years without coming out. Its precisely preparing to break through the initial stage perfectly. It should be the most taboo about this kind of thing."

  Lin Baiweis small face turned red, and she made an effort to swallow the pastry, letting out a long sigh: "And then theres Qing Lins old mother. Over a hundred years ago, there were rumors that it was already a Jade Liquid Realm Great Demon. If I were you, I would report to the imperial court and ask for several demon-suppressing generals to come and get rid of the snake demons first. The old ape and yellow dog would naturally run away."

  Shen Yi listened quietly, but found that the other party did not continue: "What about the Fox Demon?"

  The girl rolled her eyes.

  She has finished all the food and patted her full belly: "Burp... Im sleepy."

  Shen Yi sat back on the edge of the bed and clasped her fists in gratitude: "Thanks for reminding me."

  Lin Baiwei slowly walked towards the backyard, giving him a glance: "You still have a conscience."

  Arrived at the quiet courtyard.

  The ease in a womans eyes fades away, and the expression on her face gradually becomes more complex.

  Dont look at her words, which seem to be quite disdainful of Huang Pizi. That is a real and solid primary demon. The other party is an ordinary official, without a master or even a complete method, and he still has to find a way to obtain it from such a stranger, even if there is something strange about it.

  In this case, he was able to behead the dog demon.

  If you can lay out a good path for the other person, their future achievements will surely be extraordinary.

  With such talent, if he were to die in this muddy water of Baiyun County, that would be a waste of heavens gift.

  Unfortunately, Im struggling to take care of myself now and really dont have the energy to deal with all those trivial matters... Im so hungry.
