The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Chapter 125 Clouds 5 Li Youqian

Originally, when Li Youqian went out to patrol as instructed by the village chief, he was so frightened by the sight of this childhood nightmare from afar that he ran back immediately. He managed to convince himself that he had imagined it, but how could it be that the plague had actually come here?

Wen Li looked at the man's face, his burly figure, and his thick, weed-like eyebrows.

She remembered that this person was from the Xuanling Sect, and it seemed that she and Shen Yannan had beaten him up a few times.

Plague, freak.

In her previous life, she wandered alone for ten years. After her rebirth, she didn't pay much attention to the people in the Xuanling Sect. Now, she has almost forgotten the days when she was called the plague.

Upon seeing an acquaintance, Wen Li kicked him to the ground and looked down at him, saying, "Li Youqian? Didn't you get enough of a beating at Xuanling Sect? Now you dare call me a plague? You want to die?"

Li Youqian swallowed hard. How could he have known she would come?

The capital is too far away, so the news is not accurate. All they know is that His Highness the Crown Prince will come to Yueban City in person.

Suddenly a voice came from behind. Everyone turned around and saw more than a dozen strong men walk in.

Seeing Li Youqian kicked to the ground, they gripped their swords tighter.

"What are you doing?"

"Who are you? How did you find this place?"

As they spoke, they quickly ran to Li Youqian's side, helped him up, and then pointed their swords at Wen Li and the others.

Xie Xiao, standing next to Shen Yingsi, raised his hand and said politely, "We are demon hunters from the capital, not bad people."

"If you're not bad people, then why did you hurt our boss? Who exactly are you people?!"

Looking at their hateful gazes and the swords pointed at her, Wen Li was really curious how these useless people with no spiritual power dared to point their swords at her.

No wonder Li Youqian, that good-for-nothing, could become a big shot here.

Shen Yingsi, with a cold face, took off his mask and uttered three words.

"Shen Yingsi".

Shen Yingsi? Shen Yingsi!

They, including Li Youqian, were all very shocked.

Upon hearing his fourth brother reveal his identity, Xie Xiao quickly pulled out his waist token to prove his identity and stepped forward, saying, "Shen Yingsi, the Crown Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, is heading south to capture demons in the Moonlit Palace. We ask for your help."

Upon seeing this, the men who had been holding swords all dropped them. Their gazes toward Shen Yingsi were filled with excitement and pleading, as if they were looking at a deity they had worshipped for many years.

They knelt down and kowtowed respectfully and devoutly to Shen Yingsi.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! You've finally arrived!"

"We've finally waited for this! We've finally waited for this!"

"We're saved! Your Highness, you..."

Shen Yingsi was already used to such scenes. He was just a little curious about how he used to be able to be so moved and touched every time he saw such a scene.

What's so moving about constantly saving others?

"Fourth brother?"

Shen Yingsi was lost in thought for too long, and Xie Xiao curiously reminded him.

Shen Yingsi realized what was happening. He then bent down, squatted down, and helped the person up. Then, he had to say some comforting words and finally make a promise and guarantee.

"Get up quickly! As subjects of the Great Jin, I will not abandon you. You have suffered for so many years. On this trip to the Moon Half City, I will definitely seek justice for you against the demons in the Moon Half City."

Everything was so perfect; no one knew better than him how to play the role of a savior.

Everyone was moved by the scene, except for Wen Li, who was yawning nonchalantly.

Si Xiaxia suddenly appeared again: "Host, you will definitely become a great hero in other people's hearts in the future."

"No! No! I hate this kind of forced hope in others the most. Don't be fooled by Shen Yingsi's seemingly fine act; he's probably incredibly frustrated inside."

Looking at the persistently high level of corruption, Si Xiaxia thought, "If the protagonist could keep up this act forever, that would be fine too."

*

Upon entering this secluded village, the first thing Wen Li and the others did was go to sleep.

They were just too tired.

When Wen Li opened her eyes again, it was already completely dark.

The room was small and dilapidated, with nothing but a bed and a pile of clothes next to it.

She sat on the bed in a daze, motionless for a long time, looking at the unfamiliar and dilapidated surroundings, and for a moment she couldn't figure out where she was.

"Host, you're awake? You're awake? Host? I have to remind you, you need to keep a close eye on this target. The protagonist's condition is very dangerous. This isn't mainly because I'm reminding you, it's because I've been called in for questioning by the authorities. You know what questioning means? It means I've been summoned for a talk. My performance depends entirely on you, host. You don't know that in the other world I was originally managing, the male and female protagonists destroyed it together. So now I'm relying on you, host, host, are you awake?..."

Listening to Si Xiaxia's rambling, Wen Li felt annoyed and lay back down on the bed.

"Not awake yet."

Wen Li wasn't in a hurry, and there was no use in Si Xiaxia being anxious, since she didn't have a physical body in this world.

Si Xiaxia wanted to say something more, but seeing her host's tired face, she felt sorry for him.

She can handle things at the bureau herself; the host has indeed been too tired these past few days.

The room was quiet, but after a while, footsteps and children's whispers could be heard.

"She's very beautiful, just like the village chief said."

"Let me see, it really is. Could it be that what the adults are saying is true? And Uncle Li is lying to us?"

"Uncle Li must be lying to us. He's been lying all along, saying she's ugly and scary! How could such a beautiful woman eat a monster?"

Eat monsters? Who? Me?

Wen Li turned over so her back was to the door, reminding herself not to act impulsively; these were just three little brats.

The children's voices continued; if it were a few years earlier, Wen Li would have gotten out of bed and disciplined them.

But now she considers herself grown up and wants to become a chivalrous hero in the future, so she'd better not do something so unladylike.

"Shh, don't wake her up, or she'll eat the children. Anyway, adults always lie, only Uncle Li has never lied to us, so she's the bad guy."

“Uncle Li has never lied to us. Last time, he promised to bring me candy, and he really did. Uncle Li would never lie.”

"Yes, Uncle Li wouldn't lie. She's just wearing a human skin. Underneath the skin is a terrifying monster who loves to eat children."

"Ah! Let's go back quickly, I'm scared."

"I'm scared too."

"Tch, coward, she's all alone. It's a pity we didn't see the freak Uncle Li was talking about. Uncle Li said she only thinks about harming people when the two of them are together. So don't be afraid, we'll stick to our original plan, go in and scare her, and avenge Uncle Li!"

Upon hearing about avenging Uncle Li, and remembering how kind Uncle Li had always been to them, the three children gritted their teeth, grabbed the snakes they had prepared, and quietly went inside, intending to throw a few snakes into Wen Li's bed.

They tucked the snake into the blankets, the three of them exchanging glances and covering their mouths to stifle their laughter. Just as they began to tiptoe about, they heard a sound. They instinctively looked up.

"How did you know I like to eat snakes? But what I love to eat most are you kids."

The blanket in front of her was suddenly pulled back, and in the moonlight streaming through the window, what came into view was not the delicate and beautiful face from before, but a ghostly mask with blue fangs, blood dripping from its mouth, and its eyes drooping precariously. In her hand, she still clutched the few small snakes they had just thrown in.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

"Ah ah ah ah..."

"Run! It's a monster!"

The three children were so frightened that they rushed out the door. Wen Li stood up, and the little girl who was a bit behind fell down in fright when she heard the footsteps behind her. The two children in front of her ran even faster.

"Hey, what happened to your promise of friendship and loyalty?"

The boy and girl running ahead stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around at the same time. They had just helped the girl up and were about to drag her away when someone blocked their way.

Wen Li leaned against the gate, finding it amusing to watch the group of little brats trembling in fear.

She's already used this kind of trick before.

"W-what do you want to do?"

The boy stood in front, protecting the two girls behind him. The three children looked to be only eight or nine years old.

Wen Li had just reached out her hand when she was shoved away from behind. She staggered a couple of steps and almost fell.

She looked up and saw Li Youqian holding three children, looking at her cautiously.

"Wen Li, how come you're still so annoying even though you've grown up?"

After saying that, she quickly left with the three children in her arms. Wen Li glanced at the amulet in her hand and muttered dismissively, "Sick."
