Who Said My Wife Is A Demon!

Yang Shifei couldn’t help but shiver.

He instinctively clenched his right hand, feeling a strength he hadn’t experienced in twenty years, and looked at the girl in front of him with confusion.

Was this chill in his body really related to this girl?

“Let me see.”

The mysterious maid suddenly grabbed Yang Shifei’s arm, her movements lightning fast.

“…”

Yang Shifei remained motionless, with a hint of cold sweat still lingering on his back. He had initially wanted to struggle instinctively, but upon second thought, he decided to stay still.

He was just as puzzled as before, so he could only wait for the girl to provide an answer.

“Hmm?” But the mysterious maid tilted her head again, her lips pouting slightly. “Nothing?”

Muttering to herself, she took hold of Yang Shifei’s right hand and shook it back and forth, looking more like a little girl being playful.

“Still nothing?”

“What does this mean?”

Yang Shifei was a bit confused by her actions.

The mysterious maid quickly looked up at him. “Won’t you bite me again? It felt quite comfortable.”

Yang Shifei tried to dismiss any potential misunderstandings, hesitantly asking, “Are you talking about… the cold energy I absorbed?”

“Something like that.”

The mysterious maid glanced at him again, seeming to lose interest in getting to the bottom of it, and pouted, “Forget it, I don’t get it.”

With that, she let go of his hand and turned to leave.

Yang Shifei was stunned to see her go, thinking that the girl might be a bit too casual.

With that in mind, he hurriedly stopped her, “Wait, are you really from the Luo Mansion?”

The mysterious maid turned back, blinking her watery eyes.

Yang Shifei thought the girl cared a lot about the “biting” issue, so he solemnly said, “If you can sit down and talk to me, then I’ll ‘bite’ you again. How about that?”

“..”

The mysterious maid blinked her bright eyes and slightly lifted the corners of her mouth.

Coupled with her youthful and lovely face, she was quite charming.

However, seeing the innocence on her face, Yang Shifei felt a twinge of guilt, as if he were deceiving an ignorant girl.

..

After a while, in the backyard of the mansion.

Yang Shifei carried two bowls of noodles to the backyard.

After cleaning up, the kitchen was ready for use. Although he wasn’t skilled in cooking, making a bowl of noodles was still easy for him.

“Let’s eat.”

The mysterious maid sat opposite him and started eating without hesitation, seeming to have no aversion to “food.”

Yang Shifei silently observed her for a moment, feeling complicated.

While cooking the noodles, he took the opportunity to ask her many questions.

As he suspected, this girl was not a maid from the Luo Mansion. She wore this outfit because she thought it looked pretty and found the “maid” identity interesting, so she put it on.

She wasn’t a female ghost either, but she was also not an ordinary person. However, she didn’t reveal specifics and didn’t answer when questioned.

Although she looked innocent on the outside, she still had a sense of caution.

However, as they spent more time together, Yang Shifei increasingly realized that this little girl was truly lively and cute, making it difficult for him to harbor any ill feelings. Looking into her bright and mischievous eyes, it was also hard to imagine her being any sort of demon or monster.

But—

“Why did you lie to me about entering the Luo Mansion last night?”

Stirring the noodles in his bowl, Yang Shifei asked tentatively, “Was it because you had some conflict with them?”

The girl raised her eyes and, after biting off a piece of noodle, pouted, “For fun.”

“Huh?”

Yang Shifei was momentarily stunned.

After reacting, he twitched his lips a couple of times.

Just for fun, she pushed him into the sinister Luo Mansion?

Wait, no, Miss Luo is quite nice, and the food is delicious.

“That woman, not bad.” The girl slurped her noodles and spoke vaguely, “Getting married, interesting. Standing outside foolishly, boring.”

Yang Shifei pondered.

“I still don’t know what to call you—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Shifei watched as the girl placed the empty bowl back on the table, and his eyes widened.

Was that it? She finished already?

The girl wiped her mouth and casually reached out her hand.

“Come on, bite.”

Yang Shifei was dumbfounded for a moment, but he could only nervously hold her hand.

He had no idea how to recreate the “bite” from before. After thinking for a while, he could only silently repeat in his mind as he held her hand, “Bite her, bite her.”

Suddenly, a wave of icy pain emerged again!

Yang Shifei’s forehead veins bulged as his trembling body nearly knocked over the unfinished bowl of noodles on the stone table.

Until he couldn’t bear it anymore, he trembled and withdrew his right hand, leaning on the stone table and gasping for breath, letting the cold spread throughout his body.

The little girl stared at her palm for a moment, casting a slightly curious glance.

Seeing Yang Shifei raise his head, she pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, “Not bad, very comfortable.”

“Now that I’ve bitten you, tell me what your name is—”

“I’m leaving.”

“Huh?”

Seeing the other person about to get up again, Yang Shifei almost couldn’t maintain his serious expression and clenched his teeth, “Where are you going?”

The little girl put a finger on her lower lip, “Inside or outside the city, anywhere.”

“That’s not what I meant.” Yang Shifei thought for a moment. “Do you have nowhere to stay?”

The little girl seemed a bit puzzled and naïvely responded, “Huh?”

Taking a deep breath, Yang Shifei calmly said, “This house is empty and cold, with only me living here. If you have nowhere to go, why not stay here?”

Having lived in Niu family’s Village for a while, he had shaken hands with Aunt Niu and the others, but only this young girl could make him feel the cold energy, and it seemed to even enhance his physique.

Although this girl was full of mysteries, the slight chill in his body came from her. Even though he couldn’t understand his own changes, he needed to let this “golden finger” stay.

“No.”

But the little girl shook her head, “I have no money.”

“You can just stay here.”

Yang Shifei smiled kindly, “If you feel uncomfortable about it, you can come here to be a maid like the Luo Mansion next door. I won’t talk about how much you’ll be paid in the future, but at least I can ensure you’ll have food and a place to stay.”

The little girl turned her head to look in the direction of the Luo Mansion and then pondered for a while.

Then, she smiled faintly, “Okay.”

Yang Shifei clenched his fists secretly, feeling somewhat surprised.

But before he could be happy for a moment, the little girl waved her hand with a smile, “I’ll come back when I have time.”

“Huh?”

Yang Shifei was only stunned for a moment before the girl in front of him disappeared like an illusion.

This extremely bizarre scene left him shocked for a while. He quickly looked around, confirming that the other person had indeed vanished.

“What the fuck, she’s gone?”

Yang Shifei looked at the empty bowl on the table, feeling both shocked by the other party’s strange methods and somewhat amused.

Why did he feel like he had just been freeloaded off? No wait, he did receive two bursts of coldness.

He quickly refocused and carefully examined his body, even trying to bounce around in the yard for a while, picking up the old bricks in the corner and pinching and knocking them.

“Could it be that I accidentally learned some kind of Great Star Absorption Technique?”

After a moment, Yang Shifei looked at the few finger marks left on the bricks, his expression strange.

Is this considered internal qi or internal strength?

He pondered for a while, trying to activate the coldness with his mind as described in various novels.

But after gritting his teeth for a long time, there was no movement in the cold energy. Instead, the brick in his hand had many cracks.

“I probably haven’t found the right method, or… do I need a martial arts manual?”

Yang Shifei put down the brick, standing up with a pensive expression.

But he was also puzzled. If he had absorbed the girl’s skill, why did she smile at him instead of blaming him angrily?

“Is it because of her special martial arts, or is it simply her personality being different from others?”

No matter how much he thought about it, Yang Shifei couldn’t come up with a reason, so he had to suppress his excitement for now.

He would deal with the mysterious girl when she returned. Tonight, he would first try to see if there were any other uses for the coldness in his body.

..

The moon twinkled, and light clouds drifted by.

On the third night since entering the East City, Yang Shifei did not fall asleep.

In the chilly moonlight, he sat alone on the steps in the backyard, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Miss Luo next door hadn’t seen him, and dinner had been delivered on time.

However, this made things much easier.

Yang Shifei patted his legs, unable to hide his joy.

“My stamina is recovering quickly.”

Since acquiring this coldness, he seemed to have endless strength. Even after running around the yard for a dozen laps, he only felt slightly out of breath. As soon as the coldness circulated through his body, his fatigue disappeared immediately, which was truly miraculous.

Moreover, his vision and hearing had become much sharper than before, and he felt like a completely different person.

Yang Shifei stood up again and waved a broom a few times, licking his lips in satisfaction.

Unfortunately, he had no idea which direction to train in.

No matter how many novels he read, the descriptions of those mystical arts were too vague, and he didn’t know how to perform them in reality.

Originally, he wanted to ask the girl more when she returned, but she had disappeared for two days without a word, leaving him feeling helpless.

During his free time, he had wandered around the streets of the East City this afternoon and happened to see martial artists fighting in a restaurant. It was said that they were disciples of two sects, but in the end, their fight was no different from a brawl, and he couldn’t figure out what technique they were using.

“Forget it, let’s continue to exercise.”

Yang Shifei stretched his muscles and prepared to run another ten laps.

Instead of overthinking, he decided to take advantage of the lingering cold energy to replenish his missing physical strength as much as possible. This would lay a good foundation for future martial arts training.

Rustle…

The sudden rustling sound made Yang Shifei pause.

He turned to look at the slightly trembling dense treetops outside the courtyard, furrowing his brow slightly.

The wind wasn’t strong tonight, so could it be stray cats or dogs jumping around in the trees?

Although he had lived in Niu family’s village for several tens of days and was used to such things, having witnessed the “demoness” with his own eyes made him naturally cautious, fearing that there might be wandering spirits and ghosts around the mansion.

As a precaution, he decided to take a look.

Yang Shifei picked up the broom again and quickly walked to the edge of the courtyard wall, bending his knees and jumping up, one hand grabbing onto the edge of the wall.

Such a difficult move would have been unthinkable for him before yesterday. But now, with the coldness circulating throughout his body, with just a little effort, he found it incredibly easy to flip himself up and step onto the wall.

Then, he found himself face to face with the chilling gaze from the trees.

“Oh!”

Yang Shifei widened his eyes, his whole body freezing.

Damn, there was actually a figure in black squatting on the tree?

No, wait, was this a person or a ghost?!
