77 If You Don’t Want to Go to Prince Li’s Manor, Then We’ll Turn Back Home Now
Under Lin Xiao’an’s sincere gaze, Shen Yaowei raised her hand and stroked the butterfly mask on her face. She said casually, “Just call me Night Butterfly.”
Lin Xiao’an nodded slowly, committing the name to memory.
“How did you fall into Yu Linlang’s hands?” Shen Yaowei was more curious about this question.
At the mention of this, an angry expression appeared on Lin Xiao’an’s face. “Yu Linlang is secretly cultivating the Ghost Control Technique! I’ve just floated to the capital when she caught me. She used the Ghost Control Technique to torture me and forced me to tell her all the secrets…”
Thinking of how terrifying the Ghost Control Technique was, Lin Xiao’an’s voice could not help but tremble.
Shen Yaowei’s face under her mask suddenly darkened.
Ghost Control Technique!
This was a super forbidden technique that was several times more sinister than the puppet curse.
Using the yin energy of the world to cultivate and increase her cultivation, in the early stages, she could easily capture souls with weaker energy and control them. In the later stages of cultivation, she could devour souls to increase her cultivation.
Suddenly, she thought of where Yu Linlang might have obtained the cultivation method of this forbidden technique. Shen Yaowei’s dark eyes became deeper, like a dark night.
“Since she’s already cultivated the Ghost Control Technique, the more you can’t get into a conflict with her. Before I save you, you have to protect yourself and help me monitor Yu Linlang.” Shen Yaowei’s gentle voice was especially clear in the quiet night. “If Yu Linlang wants to harm anyone, contact me while she’s resting at night.”
With that, Shen Yaowei bit her finger.
A drop of blood appeared on her snow-white finger. She injected spiritual power into it and flicked her finger.
The blood bead flew towards Lin Xiao’an and entered her glabella.
Lin Xiao’an immediately felt a subtle spiritual medium between her and Shen Yaowei. This made her feel more at ease, and she smiled from the bottom of her heart. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Shen Yaowei did not stay long. She stood up and left through the window.
In the next few days, the capital was calm, as if the appearance of the fox demon was just an illusion.
Until today, when the Night Justice Bureau issued the order for a curfew and transferred a large number of spirit arts practitioners from the Imperial Preceptor’s residence to join the city patrol to strengthen the guards in the capital, the peace in the capital was completely broken.
“It’s been about 10 years since the last curfew, right? There’s really a demon causing trouble.”
“Damn, the second uncle of my husband’s grandaunt’s granddaughter-in-law is doing odd jobs in the Night Justice Bureau. I heard that the order for this curfew was personally issued by His Highness Li. If anyone dares to violate the curfew, they will be killed without mercy!”
“What should we do? The Imperial Preceptor is still in seclusion. There are really powerful demons causing trouble. Who will protect the capital?”
“Although His Highness Li is ruthless, his strength is indeed comparable to that of the Imperial Preceptor. Since His Highness has already led the Night Justice Bureau to interfere in this matter, he should want to protect the capital, right?”
“…”
Shen Yaowei sat slightly in the carriage. Along the way, she could hear almost all the passersby outside discussing the curfew.
The carriage she was currently in was sent by Prince Li’s Manor.
After the morning court assembly today, the Shen family received an imperial edict to assist the Night Justice Bureau. Along with the imperial edict, there was also a carriage sent by Prince Li’s Manor to pick her up.
Thinking that she would be able to see Huo Junhan later, Shen Yaowei lowered her head slightly to hide the smile that flashed across her eyes.
“Yaoyao, if you don’t want to go to Prince Li’s Manor, we’ll turn around and go home now,” Shen Yuyan, who was sitting opposite Shen Yaowei and in charge of sending her off, suddenly said.
