Less than half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
In the room in the east courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
The exquisite copper stove is hot and incense, and the subtle fragrance floats, exuding a pleasant atmosphere.
Inside the curtain, a beautiful woman sat elegantly on a bench, her skin as smooth as cream, her sandalwood mouth lit with cherry blossoms, her willow waist slightly bent, and she was concentrating on picking plum blossoms.
Li Chuan lay comfortably in the arms of his beautiful maid, enjoying the gentle service.
Qiao'er, Qiaozhen, Xiaoqian, Hongying and other younger maids were having fun and enjoying themselves nearby.
Suddenly, a white cat rushed in from the window.
"Where did this cat come from?"
Xiaoqian was very surprised, but she was not wary and even went to hug her with a face full of joy.
Yang Yan let Xiao Qian pick her up and hugged her to Li Chuan, saying as if she was offering a treasure.
"Look, sir, this cat is so beautiful."
Li Chuan was secretly amused and stretched out his hand: "Here, let me hug you too..."
"Zheng!" The white cat pressed its paw on his outstretched wrist, its claws showing.
Xiaoqian was startled and quickly covered her hand and said, "Maomao, you can't do that!"
Li Fang said: "Okay, Ruyue, please stop for a moment. I'll go to the study to read for a while. You don't have to wait around. Go and make my bed."
The maids didn't think it was strange and just did as he said. After a while, the white cat ran away secretly without knowing it.
In the study, Li Fan said to Yang Yan who was following him: "I have left a special passage in the house for you. If you want to go in and out in the future, just pretend to be a stray begging cat and come in."
"What a stray begging cat, don't go too far!"
"Okay, okay, it's just a joke. Don't be so stingy. I'll treat you to some dried fish."
Li Chuan said with a smile.
Yang Yan rolled her eyes at him: "You can eat it slowly by yourself. I am here to tell you that the investigation of the Demon Suppression Division has made progress, and there is news about the bride and groom."
Hearing these words, Li Fan instantly sat upright and said solemnly: "How is the situation?"
"This time it was in a small town further south. There was another strange demon that had mutated and disappeared for no reason. When the people from the Demon Suppression Division found it, it was wearing a wedding dress and preparing to marry the groom.
The bride is not a human, she is a demon formed by the mutation of a mare, and she actually grows the upper body of a human! "
Yang Jie jumped up on the desk and told him something seriously.
"How could this happen?" Li Fan was extremely surprised.
But in such a short period of time, he was no longer what he used to be, and he quickly started to guess.
"Could it be that, under the influence of the groom, he is integrating it as a puzzle?"
Demons will instinctively look for puzzle pieces and continue to grow based on their own weird characteristics, with unpredictable potential.
It's actually an instinct for mutual attraction rather than a real need.
"That's really not good. As the evil demon deepens, it will continue to become stronger. If you obtain new puzzle pieces, even its characteristics will undergo huge changes, transforming into a brand new existence...
Could it be that the groom's obsession with marrying a wife was really so strong that it didn't matter whether she was a human, a demon or a ghost? "
"It's hard to say, but it's really possible!"
It is said that survival and reproduction are human instincts. This obsession is actually no weaker than the ghosts in any legends, so this kind of evil naturally has strong potential.
In this way, if the Demon Suppressor hadn't happened upon him this time and stopped him in time, something might have happened.
Li Chuan's face condensed slightly, and he really felt some imminent pressure.
Yang Jie continued: "As for the Fox Bride, she is still making weddings one after another. It is basically confirmed that her obsession is to replace the bride and get married."
"These days, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be!" Li Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Why are people pursuing all kinds of monsters, fox wives and concubines, while foxes and snake demons are pestering people? That can't be the case. Do you want to live a good life with similar people?"
Hearing this, Yang Ju was furious and couldn't help but spit at him: "Anyone has the qualification to say this, but you don't!"
After Yang Ju left, Li Chuan was no longer in the mood to enjoy himself and quickly checked his condition.
What he is most concerned about now is no longer the progress of martial arts and physical fitness, but Xiao Qingyi's right arm.
As a new puzzle piece in addition to the Eight Immortals Golden Bottle, it is a rare treasure that can be used in a direct confrontation with the enemy in the true sense. It seems to be connected to his own body by blood, so it must be more important.
As for Mrs. Xiao's arm, Li Fan kept Li Xin's teachings in mind and only regarded it as a last resort.
It's a pity that Xiao Qingyi's right arm has been absorbing the essence during this period, and she can't see any clues for a while.
As a result, at this moment, a strong throbbing came, and Xiao Qingyi's right arm, which she had been thinking about, appeared out of thin air.
Li Fan was startled, and suddenly remembered something. He quickly summoned the Eight Immortals Golden Bottle and took a sip of the wine, then looked over with his eyes open.
The handwriting formed by pale firelight emerged.
"Exotic treasure (Xiao Qingyi's right arm) (dark gold demonic body)"
"This is a woman's arm. The snow-white jade skin has a strange metallic luster."
"The dark gold demonic body has toughness"
"The dark gold demonic body possesses the characteristic of great strength"
"The dark gold demonic body will instinctively reproduce and grow, occupying the host's flesh and blood."
"This arm possesses "Special Art (Touch of Ice)"
"This arm possesses the "Extraordinary Technique (Heart Picking)""
"This arm has become a demon and has a will of its own."
…
"This arm possesses the "Extraordinary Technique (Heart Picking)"?"
Li Fan looked at it again with some doubts.
"Extraordinary Technique (Heart Picking)"
"Able to remove the target's heart from a distance, with a range of one foot."
This is a weakened version of the Fox Bride's magic. After a period of brewing, the fusion was actually successful!
Li Fan walked out happily and called his maid Ruyue: "Send someone to the kitchen to find some living animals like chickens, ducks, geese, or rabbits!"
Ruyue had already begun to know about the strange things. Hearing the words, he didn't say anything and immediately followed the instructions.
Soon after, Ruyue and Cherry came back, carrying two cages of cute little white rabbits.
"Sir, are these enough?"
"That's enough, stay away."
Li Fan said, then connected his mind with Xiao Qingyi's right arm, and used his new magic on the white rabbit in the cage.
"Extraordinary Technique (Heart Picking)"
Just like the ability to use frost before, this strange power quickly formed an invisible force that seemed to be able to penetrate the body, lingering in the void that no one could see.
Li Fan saw that a gray-black cloud condensed into the shadow of an arm and submerged into the white rabbit's body out of thin air.
He subconsciously manipulated Xiao Qingyi's right arm to shake hands and then quickly withdrew it.
In the blink of an eye, a still beating rabbit heart appeared in the palm of Xiao Qingyi's right arm.
But the target rabbit froze and suddenly lost its breath.
"ah!"
Ruyue and Cherry saw this scene and covered their mouths in shock.
They had begun to get used to the existence of Xiao Qingyi's right arm, and accepted that it would appear and touch around from time to time, but they still did not expect that it possessed such terrifying power.
"This is... a strange magic to remove the heart!"
Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt sincerely that this was indeed a force that no mortal could contend with.
I just don’t know how effective it will be in dealing with demons possessed by strange powers.
Suddenly, Li Fan recalled the handwriting he had seen before, and his expression became slightly condensed again.
"This is a well-maintained woman's arm."
"This is a woman's arm"
…
He looked carefully and found that the metalization of Xiao Qingyi's right arm seemed to have deepened a bit.
It becomes stronger, but also colder and heavier...
And, it’s even more dangerous!
