Willing and Happy

The mansion is secluded and self-contained.

The surroundings were quiet; there was no sound of birds chirping or insects.

The young woman, with her slender waist gracefully moving, led the way, while the night watchman followed behind, the two of them one in front and one behind.

As soon as they reached a place with many trees, the watchman could no longer restrain himself. He wrapped his calloused hand around the girl's waist, and with his other hand, he reached for a small part of her body.

"You... the masters and the others have only just fallen asleep, they're still not at peace..."

"What's there to be afraid of? They screamed so loudly those nights, but we never saw them come out..."

"No, Madam is getting impatient..."

"It's alright, I'll leave some for her..."

"Dead..."

As he spoke, a series of panting sounds rang out.

Of course there will be no sound.

Su Che opened his Lightning-Cleft Thunder Eyes and took in the true nature of this deep mansion.

It was indeed a secluded mansion, but behind the seemingly tidy white walls on the outside was already a patch of overgrown weeds.

The overgrown weeds were already waist-high, and after the autumn wind blew, everything had turned yellow and withered.

The window frames and doorsteps were covered in tattered spiderwebs; even these insect hunters had moved away.

The locks on the gate were rusted and broken, the crimson rust resembling indelible blood.

The rooms in the compound were sealed with official seals from Tian'an County.

Over the years, wind and rain have battered the seal, leaving it frayed and the once-red seal now a red stain.

There were no noblewomen or maids there; they were just a bunch of monstrous Corpse Demon causing trouble.

The Book of Records of the Hidden Within states that those who die but do not stiffen are zombies. If they receive the essence of the sun and moon, and by fortuitous opportunity, they can also transform into demons.

The one who seduced the night watchman was probably a group of Corpse Demon who had evolved from those who had taken over the house.

What are the Imperial Demon Hunters of Tian'an County doing? Zhu Yi seems like a capable man, so how come they let such a group of monsters run rampant right under their noses?

"Cough... cough..."

Su Che concealed himself within the Mirage Qi and coughed twice.

The two wild lovers were so startled that they panicked for a moment.

"Is your husband awake?"

The night watchman hurriedly put on the clothes he hadn't taken off.

His master is lying comfortably in his coffin.

"It shouldn't be..."

The maid's voice also carried a hint of panic, but her panic stemmed from suspicion that a powerful figure had arrived.

The wind rustles the trees, the moon shines bright, and the shadow is lonely.

The surroundings returned to silence, as if the coughing sound from before had been nothing more than an illusion.

"You must have misheard, perhaps it's your master..." the night watchman chuckled. "Good sister, here you go, brother..."

"No."

The maidservant shoved the night watchman violently.

The old man's face was full of confusion. What was wrong with the little maid who usually begged him for favors?

"You've had your fun, but Madam will punish me later. Good brother, if you care about your sister, hurry over and go find Madam."

As the maid spoke, she glanced around with her eyes wide open.

It's just a lowly Corpse Demon with weak cultivation; it seems it hasn't amounted to much yet.

Seeing the little maid looking around suspiciously, Su Che's suspicions deepened.

"Hong'er, no wonder I couldn't wait for Brother Qin, turns out he was out having a good time here."

At the end of the long corridor, a lady in palace attire, with beautiful features, covered her small mouth with a round fan and glared fiercely at the night watchman.

"Hmph, men! They say I'm a blooming peony, but it turns out they love the budding peony the most..."

Upon seeing this, the night watchman's bones went weak, and he stammered, unable to utter a word.

"Well..."

"It's also out of consideration for your health; otherwise, you would be the one riding on two horses at once."

Su Che looked at the woman.

His skin was withered, and his black hair resembled a clump of wild grass.

The round fan was riddled with holes, revealing a toothless mouth. Large patches of mold were occasionally visible on the exposed skin of the face and hands.

The fingernails on my hands have grown so long that they've become curved.

However, a pair of eerie green eyes stared intently at the watchman before him, revealing an insatiable thirst.

The night watchman was lost in thought, muttering to himself in a daze.

"Madam, I didn't..."

"I know exactly what you're thinking."

She walked gracefully over and spoke to the maid.

"Hong'er, go to the back and get some money, so that Qin Lang won't be short of money."

The maid nodded and went to the back.

interesting.

That little maid and that lady are nothing but lowly, despicable monsters.

The Mirage Qi of the Chiwen Ring can transform itself, but the scent of the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan cannot be removed.

If it were an old demon with cultivation, even if he had a Sixth Grade cultivation level, he might not be able to detect anything unusual, but he should still be able to sense a slight discord.

But the two people in front of them were completely unaware.

Su Che's interest in why such a demon could so comfortably seduce people in Tian'an County far outweighed his desire to slay the demon.

"How dare you!"

After removing the Law Power of the Chiwen Ring, Su Che revealed his true form, dressed as a scholar.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid your brother will find out about this shameful thing?"

Third Young Master Su strode forward and kicked the Corpse Demon in the chest.

Although the kick was slow, Su Che subtly released his own Law Power, and layers of Yin Qi stirred up a gentle breeze, leaving the Corpse Demon dumbfounded.

Where did this scholar-demon come from?

Such a deep, gloomy Yin Qi.

The Corpse Demon looked around in panic, searching for a way to escape.

"You idiot."

Su Che grabbed the watchman by the chest and dragged him outside.

"Come, come with me to see the official..."

"I'm not..."

The night watchman looked at Su Che, then at the woman rolling on the ground, his eyes filled with genuine panic.

"How dare you go back on your word!"

Su Che raised his hand and slapped the night watchman across the face, leaving the watchman completely stunned.

Pushing through layers of weeds, Su Che kicked open the old door, pulled him left and right, and they arrived at a wide crossroads.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Su Che flicked his hand, and the night watchman slumped to the ground in dejection.

"Well..."

He let out a long sigh, and tears streamed down his face.

"Why are you crying? You won't admit to doing such a filthy thing?"

"No need to see the officials, sir. This old man thanks you for saving my life."

The night watchman wept uncontrollably, speaking in broken sentences.

"You know they're not clean?"

"I'm just a night watchman, one foot in the mortal world and the other in the Nine Netherworlds. What haven't I seen? The county isn't that big. I know which family died a violent death, which family perished suddenly, who is a wealthy family, and who is a high-ranking official family."

Su Che smiled upon hearing this.

"So, you knowingly walked into danger, yet you still chose to go there."

"My lord, I've been a bachelor for forty-seven years! Forty-seven years! The roof leaks when it rains, and the doors and windows let in the wind."

"I work hard every night, and there are a few days every month when we have no rice to cook. I've had enough of this kind of life. Let them eat me or suck me dry, it's all up to them."

The night watchman looked at Su Che with tearful eyes. "This is all of my own free will. I beg you, sir, to have mercy and let me have a few days of peace before I die."
