After pricking his left hand with a silver needle, Chen Nan's hand began to tremble rapidly as if electrocuted. Yet, there was no expression of pain on his face. Xia Youwei watched with curiosity. She had heard that human medicine was miraculous, but she hadn't expected it to be this astonishing. A faint curve appeared on her lips as she smiled at Chen Nan, "Can you make your tongue as agile as this?"
Chen Nan froze. What on earth did she mean? Did she want him to die? "Enough joking, help me with acupuncture. " Xia Youwei looked at the needle pouch and said, "Use the shortest, thinnest silver needle."
"Yes!" Chen Nan picked up the shortest and thinnest silver needle and gently pricked it into Xia Youwei's back. As the needle pierced Xia Youwei's back, a fleeting, imperceptible cold glint flashed in his eyes. He was fortunate to have prepared several non-toxic silver needles in advance. Otherwise, he would have been exposed today. As the saying goes, one must always be on guard. For Chen Nan, who was naturally cautious, it was even more necessary to guard against demons.
He had actually noticed at noon that Xia Youwei was very resistant to the silver needles, which was why he had prepared several more non-toxic ones. If he were to administer the needles to Xia Youwei, she would definitely make him test them on himself first. As expected, his guess was correct.
After inserting five silver needles into Xia Youwei's back one after another, the look of pain on her face immediately subsided. "You know, silver needles seem terrifying, but once they pierce the body, there isn't much pain." Xia Youwei lay lazily on the bed, "It would definitely hurt if the thickest needle were used. Small things often go unfelt."
Chen Nan felt as if a Steyr's wheel had run over his face. At this moment, he felt as pure as white paper!
Suddenly, Xia Youwei let out a sharp scream, "What's happening?" "Why do I feel my waist has lost sensation?" "What have you done to me?" "It's poisonous!" "The silver needle is poisoned!" "No, no, why are there so many more silver needles in your pouch?" "You haven't controlled my soul?" Her face contorted, her voice unusually sharp. A terrifying demonic aura emanated from her entire being.
"The corpse poison of a green-eyed zombie should be enough to kill you, right?" Chen Nan's face broke into a wild grin. Xia Youwei's exquisitely beautiful face kept shifting, vaguely revealing the face of a fox. Xia Youwei screamed, "Who exactly are you? Why can you resist my soul control technique?" "Did you know I was a demon from the start?"
Chen Nan shrugged, unable to deny it. "You might not believe me if I told you, but the Xia Youwei you met was my childhood sweetheart from Pingyang Town." "When you saw me like a stranger, I was confused at that moment." "She loved me to death; she couldn't have acted so calmly when she saw me." "She certainly wouldn't have married Leng Xuemin and become my mother-in-law." "And most importantly, she's allergic to grapes." "At that moment, I knew." "You are a demon."
"I will kill you!" The fox demon's eyes turned scarlet, and she charged at Chen Nan like an arrow released from a bow. Chen Nan ran towards the courtyard exit as fast as he could. The fox demon followed closely behind.
At the critical moment, Leng Qingmei appeared before Chen Nan, holding a long sword. "Vile beast, you court death!" she declared, swinging her sword and engaging the fox demon in a fierce battle. As a cultivator at the ninth level of the Caiyin realm, her strength was undeniable. Both her speed and swordsmanship were terrifying.
Alas, her opponent was a fox demon in the Transformation realm. There was a vast gulf between them. With a bang, a terrifying demonic aura surged out, instantly striking Leng Qingmei's chest. With a puke, Leng Qingmei vomited blood and was sent flying backward. However, the fox demon did not take her life. Instead, with a sinister look, it walked towards Chen Nan step by step, its eyes like knives, "I will kill you."
It had cultivated for a thousand years and finally managed to transform into a human. It had intended to absorb men's souls to grow stronger. But it never expected to fall into the hands of Chen Nan, this good-for-nothing son-in-law.
Chen Nan looked at Leng Qingmei, his voice carrying a hint of unexplainable tension, "What are you dazed for? Go on! If you don't kill her, we'll all die." Although he had also become a cultivator in the Caiyin realm, he was merely an ant at the first level. He felt that it was not the time for him to show off. Therefore, he decided to leave the high-risk task to Leng Qingmei.
"Die!" Leng Qingmei, holding her long sword, moved with a graceful and agile posture, like the wind, and attacked the fox demon again. "Scram!" The fox demon thrust out a palm, and the terrifying demonic energy formed a nearly solid barrier, directly blocking Leng Qingmei outside. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't get any closer.
At this point, Leng Qingmei stopped attacking. Because even if she continued to attack, it would be meaningless. She looked at Chen Nan with a calm expression, "Chen Nan, go to hell with peace of mind!" "After you die, I will give you a grand burial." "And I will burn many women for you every year." "I guarantee you won't be mistreated."
The fox demon let out a sinister laugh, "I thought all the beauties in the world would fall for you. Now it seems things are not as I imagined!" To be honest, it envied Chen Nan's popularity with women. Whether it was Leng Qingmei or Xia Youwei, they were both peerless beauties, incredibly alluring. The fact that Chen Nan could be Leng's son-in-law and was childhood sweethearts with Xia Youwei was something even it envied. Fortunately, Leng Qingmei did not genuinely care for him.
Looking at her calm gaze, Chen Nan felt a surge of bitterness. This woman was truly utterly heartless! However, he was not panicked. He silently took out a bamboo tube more than twenty centimeters long and as thick as a wrist from his embrace. There was a hemp rope at the bottom of the bamboo tube. He pulled the rope. With a "poof," a fire bullet shot up into the sky. When it reached a height of a hundred meters, it exploded in the air! It was like fireworks, brilliant and dazzling.
Looking at the fireworks blooming in the sky, Chen Nan grinned, "I'm a constable from the county office. Even if I can't beat you, I can call for backup!" The fox demon's face was full of disdain, its demonic aura causing the void to tremble, "Even if you call for people, they won't be able to arrive in time to save you."
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from the night, "Who said we couldn't arrive in time?"
