Bai Xianchu heard this and asked uncertainly, "Sis, could you be a demon too? What kind of demon are you?"
Si Teng glanced at Bai Xianchu and said coolly, "White vine."
Bai Xianchu was stumped for a long while. She couldn't think of any animal that fit the description, so she took the words literally and asked uncertainly, "You mean you're a plant?"
Confident that she was safe with Wang Yue around, Si Teng answered quite frankly, "That's right. So the Animal Management Bureau can't do anything to me."
Bai Xianchu was taken aback. "Plants can wander around freely? Wait, you've taken human form, but you said earlier that you had to face a heavenly tribulation?"
Seeing how little Bai Xianchu knew, Si Teng realized that none of the people the Animal Management Bureau had dealt with needed to undergo tribulations.
It seemed that most of the animals in the Animal Management Bureau had no cultivation at all. They relied only on their natural abilities as animals.
At the thought, Si Teng felt a little disappointed. It seemed she wouldn't be able to recover anytime soon. She got up and headed upstairs, saying as she went, "Get some rest. My husband has something to discuss with you first thing tomorrow morning."
Bai Xianchu was baffled. She didn't understand what Si Teng meant, but her head was aching, so she shifted position, curled up on the sofa, and went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, unable to sleep any longer, Bai Xianchu pushed open the door and went outside. But as soon as she reached the garden, she saw a man standing in the middle of it.
She immediately stopped and asked warily, "Who are you? Are you the owner of this place?"
Wang Yue glanced back at Bai Xianchu
