Wei Shilai looked solemn. “Miss Liu, do you have a way to catch him?”

Liu Sanniang replied confidently. “He will look for me again.”

Wei Shilai’s expression became even more solemn. “Miss Liu, his power has increased. We don’t know what he can do. Be careful these next few days. I’ll report it to the imperial court and ask the emperor to send people to help.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Alright, we must catch him.”

Wei Shilai nodded seriously.

When Liu Sanniang left the government office and walked on the street, she could feel a pair of sinister eyes looking at her. After he became stronger, he seemed to have found that she was different, but he still did not stop chasing her.

This was also good. Liu Sanniang was really afraid that he would give up and run away. After all, if he left, the small fish would grow into a big fish and be even harder to deal with.

Liu Sanniang walked around the streets before returning home. She was not afraid of being targeted.

For the next few days, Chu Yan did not appear in front of her.

Madam Wei and Mr. Liu did not ask her about it. They didn’t know what had happened.

The days passed as usual.

Every time Liu Sanniang went out to buy things, she could feel someone was watching her in secret. She was not afraid. After all, she wasn’t someone to be trifled with, either.

In the blink of an eye, it was August.

In recent nights, Liu Sanniang would keep dreaming about the man. The dreams the man weaved for her became more and more complicated, but Liu Sanniang didn’t fall for any of it. She would force herself to wake up every time.

When Liu Sanniang went out, she could feel the gaze on her getting closer and longer. She could feel his desire to conquer her.

He could already tell that Liu Sanniang was different. She was a psychic. If he conquered and killed her, his joy would be multiplied.

He was waiting for an opportunity, and Liu Sanniang did not make him wait for too long.

On the third of August, Liu Sanniang left the city in the morning.

She was gambling, too. She was betting that he couldn’t wait any longer. The government had been setting up traps everywhere to catch him. At this time, he would either give up or find an opportunity to attack.

Hence, Liu Sanniang leaving the city alone was undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Jiang Sheng was dressed in gray. He looked very poor, but the way he looked at people was condescending. He carried a bag and left the city.

When he left the city, the soldiers did not suspect him.

Jiang Sheng snorted disdainfully, thinking to himself. ‘A bunch of useless people. After looking for me for half a month, you still have no clue who I really am.’

They thought that he was Song Yu, Tang Song, Zhang Yao, Wen Qinghua, and Li Sangui. However, they did not know that his real name was Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng observed the situation for a long time before making his move. He was stronger now, but he was still very careful. He did not want to be caught at this juncture. He wanted to leave Yong County to have fun elsewhere.

Liu Sanniang left the city to visit a temple in the outskirts.

After walking a long way out of the city, she felt the familiar power around her again. Liu Sanniang knew that she had finally lured the beast out of its cave.

Liu Sanniang entered the temple, lit an incense stick, and gently placed it on the incense altar.

She looked at the huge Buddha statue in the center and crossed her fingers, praying.

She opened her eyes and heard footsteps. Liu Sanniang turned around and saw a man walking in. He smiled at her and walked to the Buddha statue to burn incense.

Liu Sanniang had already walked out of the temple hall. Not long after, the man came out and caught up with her.

“Miss, are you here to burn incense today?”

Jiang Sheng walked beside Liu Sanniang. He was quite satisfied with her. Liu Sanniang was gentle and beautiful, and her skin was as fair as mutton fat. Such a woman should be his.

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes.”

Jiang Sheng smiled. “Did you wish for anything from Budda?”

Liu Sanniang also smiled but did not answer him.

She was already certain that this man beside her was the one they’d been looking for.

Liu Sanniang looked at him, thinking to herself that this appearance must be his real appearance.

He did not transform into anyone else.

Jiang Sheng smiled at Liu Sanniang. “Miss, look into my eyes.”

Jiang Sheng’s words seemed to have magic power, guiding Liu Sanniang to stare at him.

As if she was enchanted, Liu Sanniang looked into his eyes in a daze. Jiang Sheng smiled. “Miss, did you see it clearly?”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes.”

Jiang Sheng smiled and extended his hand towards Liu Sanniang. “Since you’ve seen it clearly, come with me. Let’s get married and live the life you dream of.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Jiang Sheng. “No.”

Jiang Sheng was stunned.

Outside the temple, many footsteps could be heard. The constables had already entered the temple and surrounded Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng narrowed his eyes. “You’re indeed extraordinary, but do you think you can catch me with these people?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Jiang Sheng and frowned, but he simply smiled at her.

“Do you know what I’m capable of? You probably don’t know it yet, so how about I show you?”

Jiang Sheng turned to look at the constables who had surrounded him. His gaze was sharp. Every constable who looked at him started to lose strength, unaware that he had dropped his weapon on the ground.

Liu Sanniang exclaimed. “Don’t look into his eyes.”

Lin Zheng immediately ordered as well. “Don’t look into his eyes. Catch him.”

What would happen if such a person got away? It was unimaginable. He did not seem to care about human lives at all.

Jiang Sheng panicked when the constables looked away. In terms of combat skills, he was definitely not a match for these people.

His expression was ruthless as he commanded the dazed people. “Kill, kill the people who get in my way.”
