Chapter 3

At the entrance to the restroom, Zhu Songan was standing in front of the mirror, fussing with the few strands of hair he had left.

When he saw me coming, he gave a cold snort.

“Don’t think I’ll forgive you just because you came over to apologize. As soon as I get back, I’ll make Xiaoman cut ties with all of you.”

I stood behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Do you really think I’m like Hu Xiaoman? That your sorcery could fool me too?”

Zhu Songan’s entire body jolted, and the fat on him quivered along with it.

He instinctively tried to run, but his body wouldn’t move.

When he spoke again, all his usual arrogance was gone. His voice even trembled a little. “Who exactly are you?”

I met his eyes through the mirror and said nothing.

Who was I? I was the last Dragon King’s Wife in this world, and a Demon-Subduing Master who had lived for hundreds of years.

I had sensed something strange about Zhu Songan the moment he stepped into this restaurant.

Keeping a firm grip on him, I chanted in a low voice, “The heavens are bright, the air is clear, the three lights shine through…”

Zhu Songan’s body began to tremble. His voice turned pained. “Wait! Hold on…”

But before I could finish the incantation, someone shoved me hard from behind.

Hu Xiaoman pointed at me, furious. “Well, well, Yun Ruyi. I knew it. You’ve had your eye on my boyfriend all along!”

“You followed my boyfriend to the restroom. Were you planning to do something to him?”

Quite a few customers gathered around to watch the drama unfold.

Their shocked gazes darted back and forth among the three of us.

Then I heard their hushed whispers.

“That’s… a unique taste.”

“What exactly am I losing to?”

“Did this guy save both those girls’ lives or something?”

…

I felt as if my spotless reputation was about to be buried right here.

Zhu Songan was still adding fuel to the fire. He pointed at me, his face both embarrassed and indignant.

“She touched my butt just now!”

Me: “…”

The scene descended into chaos in an instant.

I rolled up my sleeves, ready to tear Zhu Songan’s pig mouth apart, while Hu Xiaoman stretched out her long fingernails, trying to claw up my face.

Chen Ling rushed over and tried to break us apart.

The peanut gallery around us was still cheering us on.

I took a deep breath, withdrew from the battlefield, and pointed at Zhu Songan while doing my best to speak calmly to Hu Xiaoman. “Your boyfriend is a pig.”

Hu Xiaoman glared at me. “Sounds to me like you’re just calling the grapes sour because you can’t have them!”

She took Zhu Songan by the hand and turned to leave.

“Sure enough, good things should be kept hidden at home.”

Expressionless, I watched them swagger away.

Chen Ling edged closer uneasily. “Ruyi, how did Xiaoman become like this?”

“She couldn’t be possessed, could she?”

She wasn’t possessed. She was under a spell.

What she didn’t know was that the boyfriend she was so obsessed with really was a pig.
