So it turns out I'm the demon!

Chapter 68 Bai Xiang: Where exactly is Pisces?

After taking a shower, washing away the stench of blood and exhaustion, Jiang Mu, in a great mood, came to the eaves.

Bai Xiang remained calmly seated in the bamboo recliner, her eyes lowered as she flipped through the book.

The woman's profile is serene and picturesque.

The slanting rays of the setting sun cast a pale gold hue on her long eyelashes, and even the few strands of hair that fell loose by her ears shone with a gentle luster.

Jiang Mu dragged over a bamboo chair and sat down next to her, tilting her head and smiling:

"You seem to be in a good mood, the spring sunshine is so lovely. What great news is it? Did you get some treasure? Let me see it."

Bai Xiang looked up, returned a gentle smile, and then lowered her head to continue reading.

But in his heart he hummed softly:

This morning he gave me the cold shoulder and wouldn't talk, but now he has to shamelessly come over.

"Tsk, fine, don't tell me then."

Jiang Mu casually stretched out his hand.

"Come on, stretch out your hand, let me read your palm and see when you'll be able to get married."

Bai Xiang ignored him and turned the page of her book.

"Give it to me!"

Jiang Mu grabbed her left hand directly.

Bai Xiang frowned slightly, made a symbolic struggle, but ultimately did not pull her hand away.

Anyway, the bottom line is still there; it's just touching hands, no big deal.

Jiang Mu held her soft hand and examined it closely.

I must say, this woman's hands are truly beautiful.

The family members are well-matched.

Her skin was as white and smooth as jade, and felt warm and soft to the touch.

Her nails were neatly trimmed and had a healthy pale pink hue.

Holding it in your palm, it feels like a piece of warm jade carved into an orchid branch, making you want to caress it a few more times.

"Hmm... your palm lines..."

Jiang Mu pointed and gestured with an air of importance.

"Look at this line, it's called the love line. Notice how winding it is, with several breaks in the middle and a forked end...tsk tsk, this means your love life is extremely bumpy."

Bai Xiang found it interesting.

Although I knew he was making things up, I put down my book and listened with great interest to his embellishment.

Jiang Mu sighed and said with a regretful expression:

"You're a classic example of bad luck. You missed your true love, and you're destined to be a wet nurse."

Even if she regrets it later and wants to get married, she can only follow in the footsteps of other women, getting scraps along the way, and even then, she'll have to watch them being all lovey-dovey. Ugh, so tragic, so incredibly tragic.

Bai Xiang's eyes curved into crescent moons, a half-smile playing on her lips.

Edited.

Continue writing.

Let alone whether I will ever have a man in my life.

Even if I did, I would never share it with another woman.

This kind of thing is impossible, not even in the next life, let alone ten lifetimes.

If anyone dares to offer me soup, I'll smash the pot!

Jiang Mu rambled on and on about a bunch of random things, then suddenly lowered her voice and sighed:

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. I really didn't want to talk to you... but there's no one else in this house I can talk to except you. After spending a few months with you, I've gotten used to chatting with you."

Bai Xiang's gaze softened as she looked at his slightly weary profile.

Having spent this time together, she had come to understand the man's temperament to some extent.

Whenever he shows this expression, it usually means he has encountered something unpleasant outside.

After hesitating for a moment, she gently squeezed his hand back.

With the other hand, he gestured:

Would you like me to go for a walk with you?

"Too lazy to go out."

Jiang Mu leaned back lazily and said, "Let's just chat for a bit."

Bai Xiang nodded gently.

The setting sun melts into gold, and the evening clouds merge like jade.

The light and shadows under the corridor gradually slanted, making the two figures appear long and thin, overlapping slightly.

Jiang Mu gazed at the clouds dyed red by the setting sun and slowly said:

"Actually, being an official is not good at all. The officialdom is like a spider web. As you climb up, the threads will entangle you one by one."

The higher you climb, the tighter the bonds become. In the end, even turning around becomes difficult.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"I know I'm not suited to be an official, but I still want to be one. People will definitely call me stupid behind my back, and I'll be used as a pawn sooner or later... I don't care. As long as I'm happy."

And I'm actually quite hypocritical, I don't have much morality, and I'm not exactly a good person... but none of that matters.

"Life is short; being happy is more important than anything else."

Bai Xiang listened quietly.

Those clear, watery eyes reflected the deepening twilight and the man's exposed weariness.

She was somewhat surprised by the man's insight and honesty.

People in this world are mostly hypocritical, using this as a mask.

But he dared to lay bare his "evil" and "vulgarity".

After rambling on for a while, Jiang Mu's voice gradually lowered, and finally she leaned back in her chair and fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Xiang gently withdrew her hand.

She got up, went back into the house to get a thin blanket, and carefully covered him with it.

She stood beside the chair.

She gazed at the sleeping man's profile, her expression somewhat dazed.

a long time.

Silently moving lips:

"Actually, you're a good person."

Well, Young Master Jiang has just received a "friend zone" card.

……

By evening, Bai Xiang had prepared a rather sumptuous dinner.

Jiang Mu and Yuan Aqing ate until their bellies were round.

"Xiang'er, I'm going to give you extra money."

Having eaten his fill, Jiang Mu lounged like Ge You, picking his teeth and squinting as he spoke, completely forgetting his boast that he would deduct the woman's wages.

"From now on, you'll be my personal little cook. You're not allowed to cook for anyone else; you can only cook for me."

Bai Xiang, who was clearing away the dishes, wrinkled her nose and muttered to herself, "Domineering."

On second thought, the first time she had ever cooked for someone was indeed for this guy.

Yuan Aqing, who was full, wanted to continue her physical training, but as soon as she took a horse stance in the yard, she felt a churning in her stomach and almost vomited on the spot.

In the end, he was ruthlessly suppressed by Bai Xiang.

I grabbed him by the back of his collar and tossed him back to his room like a little chick to digest his food and go to sleep.

Jiang Mu was too exhausted and went to bed early.

-

Deep night.

The room was filled with warm steam.

Bai Xiang is taking a bath.

She leaned back against the edge of the bucket, her dark hair cascading like a waterfall on the water's surface.

Beneath the water's surface, the full curves are faintly visible, rising and falling gently with each breath.

Like a white lotus floating on water, trembling, trembling.

Suddenly, a sharp eagle's cry came from outside the window.

Bai Xiang's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she raised her wet, jade-like arm, waving it gently towards the window.

The window was open.

Almost at the same instant, a black shadow, as fast as lightning, swept into the room with the cool night breeze and landed on the table.

It turned out to be a wooden falcon.

The mechanism is ingenious, and the wings are clearly defined.

Bai Xiang untied the thin copper tube that was tied to the falcon's leg, unscrewed it, and took out a roll of paper.

Let's take a look.

There were only two lines of writing on the paper.

After reading it, a deep disappointment welled up in Bai Xiang's eyes.

"The Pisces jade pendant isn't here... So it was another false clue after all."

That damned Jiang the devil!

Where exactly did they hide that divine object?

She angrily slapped the water.

Water splashed up.

Water droplets slid down her jade-like face, rolled over her slender neck, and disappeared beneath her collarbone, leaving ambiguous, damp marks in the candlelight.

Bai Xiang was feeling irritable.

If this item cannot be found, the Mirror Kingdom Secret Realm cannot be opened.

Not to mention restoring the country.

After a long silence, she picked up a pen and paper, tore off a small piece, quickly wrote a few words, and put it back into the copper tube.

The wooden eagle flapped its wings, soared out the window, and disappeared into the deep night.

The window was closed again.

Bai Xiang leaned against the barrel wall, muttering to herself:

"Fortunately, there's still one lead that hasn't gone cold. We can continue investigating; there's always hope."

She then recalled the divination result that the fortune teller had given her.

The fortune teller confidently declared that she was the only one in the world destined to be with the Pisces Jade Pendant.

He even advised her to come here and wait for an opportunity.

She asked at the time:

"How do I find someone in this vast sea of ​​people?"

The fortune teller said, "Find it by your intuition. When the time is right, you will sense it."

Based on intuition?

What the hell!

You big liar!

I've been waiting in this wretched place for so long, and I haven't even seen a trace of the Pisces jade pendant.

Can anyone tell me where Pisces is?
