  The Evil Spirit Office experienced such a huge upheaval, and as the demon community’s representative, Ming Shu reiterated the previous letter to them.

  She declared that they wouldn’t be allowed to govern demons in the future, and demons had their own demon rights. She also proposed that the demons would hold this matter to account and reminded them to prepare for that.

  “Sun Guomao.” Ming Shu walked before Sun Guomao and smiled. “Do you hate me?”


  Sun Guomao’s eyes were filled with bloody streaks, beaming out ferocious hatred and anger.

  [Sun Guomao’s Hatred Points have reached full capacity.]

  “Thanks a lot.”

  Ming Shu smiled brighter and hailed the little demons behind her. “Okay, it’s time for a big meal. Kids, let’s go.”


  “King, what about those demons in the basement?”


  “How would I know what to do?”


  “Are we not going to save them?”


  “Will I get any food for doing that? If not, I won’t save them.”


  “But, King, wait, be careful……”


  The voices faded gradually. A large group of demons left and the office became empty. In a messy heap on the ground, Sun Guomao glared tightly in the direction where Ming Shu had left……

  It was not as easy to abolish the Evil Spirit Office as just saying it. But for Hatred Points, Ming Shu sent little demons to watch them, and whenever they found the Evil Spirit Office began to operate again, the little demons would go to stop them using Ming Shu’s name.

  So the Hatred Points would still go to her.

  Hearing that Ming Shu was going to abolish the Evil Spirit Office, the demon community came to join her little by little. They’d disliked the Evil Spirit Office since its conception.

  But this year’s demons were really not ambitious at all. They had become tired of killing and fighting.

  As one of the demons said—In wartime, they killed numerous humans while feeling sick, but now they only wanted to experience a peaceful and tranquil life.

  Those who lived in the mountain forests were not unwilling to go to cities, but there were so many rules there. Whenever they incidentally broke some kind of rule, they would be taken to small dark rooms to be educated, yet as lazy as they were, how would they want to be treated like that!

  Ming Shu could only shake her head as the king.

  Ming Shu got rid of those little demons and returned to Jin Dongyi’s courtyard herself.

  As soon as she stepped through the door, Little Beastie jumped out and landed in her arms. It put its hairy paws in her palm.

  Ming Shu calmed herself down. “I didn’t buy any.”


  Little Beastie was quiet for two seconds then fumed with fur erect all over its round body. It scratched Ming Shu hard angrily.

  Ming Shu held it and walked inside the courtyard. “Yes, I lied, bite me!”


  Ming Shu threw it on the table in the courtyard. Little Beastie intended to jump up but was covered under something immediately. It was startled at first, thinking that Ming Shu was going to kill it for its silence, but the next second it smelled something tempting.

  Little Beastie grunted.

  Ming Shu didn’t see Jin Dongyi. She climbed onto the peach tree, and the attic’s window was opened with a gap. Ming Shu peeped through it and saw Hua Jian lying in the bed.

  She opened the window and jumped in. Hua Jian lay there with his back toward her.

  Ming Shu walked up to poke him, but the latter didn’t react even a little.

  Ming Shu poked again. “Are you pretending to be a corpse?”


  Hua Jian seemed to moan in a light voice, which didn’t sound right. Ming Shu took his shoulder and turned him over.

  Hua Jian was hot all over his body and on his forehead was streaming with sweat.

  Ming Shu touched it and felt the temperature was quite a bit higher than normal.

  “Hua Jian, are you all right? Do we need to go to the hospital?” Ming Shu partially kneeled before him and patted his face.

  Hua Jian reacted a little, but he uttered with difficulty, “No.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  Ming Shu went downstairs to find the medicine. But Jin Dongyi didn’t have any medicine in his house, so she had to go out and buy some.

  It was already one hour later, after Ming Shu struggled to feed Hua Jian the medicine, that Hua Jian woke up.

  “Tao Xian……” Hua Jian caught Ming Shu’s hand. “Lie with me for a while.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”

  But the patient needed comfort and couldn’t accept a refusal.

  Ming Shu comforted herself inside before going to take her snacks and lying beside Hua Jian.

  The bed was small, and as Ming Shu lay down, there wasn’t any gap left between them. Hua Jian simply reached out his hands to hold Ming Shu in his arms, and he even kissed between her eyebrows.

  “Don’t pass your illness to me.”


  “Demons won’t get sick.” As Hua Jian answered lightly, he moved his lips beside Ming Shu’s and kissed them.

  There was some bitter taste left by the medicine in his mouth, while Ming Shu just had a candy, so Hua Jian carefully licked the sweetness off her lips like a puppy.

  “Jin Dongyi left.” Hua Jian loosened his hold on Ming Shu and whispered, leaning on her shoulder, “He left a letter for you, I put it downstairs.”


  “Oh.”

  Probably because of the medicine, Hua Jian felt very sleepy and soon his breath leveled off.

  But he held Ming Shu in his arms tightly. Ming Shu kept still for a while, feeling a little hot, so she tried to sneak off. But as soon as she moved, Hua Jian would also move with her.

  Ming Shu suspected that he didn’t fall asleep at all.

  But she felt his slow breathing, which showed he was indeed sleeping……

  In the end, Ming Shu could only bear the heat and lie in his arms, facing the invisible virus……

  Ming Shu didn’t know when she fell asleep, but it was already evening when she woke up……

  “I’m hungry.”


  Ming Shu’s waist was suddenly held tightly, and Hua Jian’s entire body pressed closer.

  Ming Shu looked at the ceiling sadly and nodded in agreement. “Me too.”


  Hua Jian: “.……”

  Thinking of this possibility, Hua Jian became a little worried.

  He exposed himself to the rain last night for most of the night and finally he caught a cold, so he didn’t want to fail to progress. He wouldn’t go buy food for this psychopath.

  Seeing Ming Shu remained unmoving for a long time, Hua Jian shook her. “You…… will you go buy some food?”


  “I have no strength and I don’t want to move.”


  Hua Jian: “.……”


  Hua Jian suppressed his emotions, and in the end, he squeezed out a sentence from his teeth. “Are we going to be starved to death here?”


  Ming Shu turned to look at him. “Did the fever kill your brain? Don’t you know how to order food?”


  Hua Jian felt nothing at this dissing as he had been used to it, quite used to it……

  He reached out to get the phone. His fingers touched Ming Shu unintentionally, and her fine skin made his mind ripple. He moved his body a little, then got his phone quickly and pressed on the screen.

  It showed many unanswered calls.

  The last one was from three minutes ago.

  But he didn’t hear the phone ring……

  A call came in again right at this moment; it was muted.

  Hua Jian turned his head to look at Ming Shu, and the latter laid her head on his arm, revealing her profile. He didn’t know what she was thinking.

  He didn’t set the mute mode, so it could only be her, then……

  Hua Jian held Ming Shu tighter in his arms while answering the call. Lu Jiu’s dignified voice came from the other end.

  “Boss, Jian Ying is dead.”
