Sanniang's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Jiujiu sorrowfully. She bent her knees and fell to the ground with a thud. "Yunhuai, save me. 1357924? 6810gggggd”
Jiujiu raised an eyebrow. "Sanniang, you're so powerful. Why do you need me to save you?"
"I know I was wrong, Yunhuai. I really know I was wrong." Sanniang sobbed. "When I cheated you of your skin, I've spent every day blaming myself. I've always felt guilty, but I was afraid you'd kill me. All I could do was run and hide. I didn't think that this skin would have problems. Yunhuai, save me. I don't want to become a skinless monster."
In order to get the Beauty's Skin from Yunhuai, Sanniang had already given her own skin to Yunhuai. Without a host's skin, it was like a piece of clothing that no one wore. It would age and wither with the passage of time.
The skin that Yunhuai had given to Sanniang was long gone after she received Yunhuai's skin. Now, other than begging Jiujiu, there was nothing else she could do.
Jiujiu knew that Sanniang would beg her. However, she thought of her own plan. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. "How many people did you eat?"
"Three." Sanniang lowered her head. "I had no choice. If I didn't eat people, my skin would crack and wither. I didn't want to become a skinless monster."
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "If you don't want to become a skinless monster, then why did you peel off my skin? If you want a beauty's skin, you only need to give me money and I can satisfy you. However, you just had to peel off my skin. Sanniang, oh Sanniang, do you know that once the skin is stained with the blood of the painted skin people, it will become a poison that penetrates the intestines? You've worn my skin for ten years, it's time enough."
Sanniang's heart trembled. She scrambled to her feet and hugged Jiujiu's leg. She cried, "Yunhuai, save me."
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. "Sanniang, I'm a painted skin person, but I'm also a businesswoman. Business is business. If you don't pay enough, I won't help you."
When San Niang heard Jiujiu's words, she knew that Jiujiu had agreed to her request. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and opened her mouth to spit out a blue inner core. She held it with both hands and handed it to Jiujiu, saying softly, "This is the little demon's inner core."
Jiujiu took the inner core and sniffed it. It was indeed San Niang's inner core. She didn't think that San Niang would be willing to pay such a high price for such a piece of skin. She was indeed willing to sacrifice her life for beauty.
Unfortunately, he was here to take her life.
Jiujiu took out the magnetic bottle containing the daylily pill from her pocket and handed it to Sanniang. "Take one a day and you'll recover in a month. However, Sanniang, do you know that you're pregnant?"
Sanniang was taken aback. She looked at Jiujiu in shock, then rubbed her belly with a look of pleasant surprise.
Jiujiu had thought that she would only be able to take care of San Niang after coming here. She didn't expect such an unexpected gain.
The union of a human and a demon was intolerable. It was rare that San Niang could be pregnant with the other's child. A half-demon was either powerful enough to destroy the heavens and earth, or so weak that it couldn't even withstand a single blow. She just didn't know what Sanniang's child would look like.
Jiujiu instantly had thoughts of wanting it. She rolled her eyes and changed her mind. "Sanniang, how about we make a deal?"
Sanniang stared blankly at Jiujiu, as if she didn't know what she meant.
Jiujiu said, "If you give me the child, not only will I return the inner core to you, but I'll also save your husband's life. What do you think?" Jiujiu paused, then added, "You're a thousand-year fox demon. The demon poison in your body isn't something that ordinary demons can compare to. If your husband doesn't save him, he'll die."
Sanniang swallowed the rejection that was on the tip of her tongue. She lowered her eyes and said softly after a long time, "Let me think about this."
Jiujiu shrugged indifferently. "If you want to, go to the inn and wait for me. I'll be waiting for you."
Jiujiu finished speaking and turned to leave.
When Jiujiu returned to the room, she was not greeted by Little White's kiss, but Xiao Sheng's long sword.
Xiao Sheng's fair face was green. It was obvious that he was furious.
The long sword carried a bone-piercing chill. It was placed against Jiujiu's neck. Jiujiu could feel the sharpness of the long sword and its bone-piercing murderous intent.
If she guessed correctly, this sword should be the legendary Zhu Xian Sword.
Jiujiu blinked and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao Sheng, what are you doing?"
Xiao Sheng ignored Jiujiu's smile. His expression was cold as he said, "Where did you go just now?"
After saying that, he sniffed the tip of his nose. Especially after smelling the fox smell on Jiujiu's body, his expression turned even uglier. "You went to see that fox demon?"
Jiujiu curled her lips. "Mm, I went to see her. I wanted my skin, but I didn't expect her to be pregnant."
"Pregnant?" Xiao Sheng's expression froze. Even the hands holding the long sword trembled. It was wrong for a human and a demon to be together. But now, not only was the fox demon with a human, she even had a human's child. It was really strange.
Jiujiu curled her lips. "Right? I was also very surprised. That's why I didn't ask for the skin. I said I would wait until she gave birth."
"Then why did you take my daylily pill?"
Jiujiu said, "My skin was covered in the fox scent because of her. Naturally, I removed the scent. The daylily pill can repair my skin. After she gives birth, my skin will be more or less repaired."
Xiao Sheng suddenly didn't know what to say to Jiujiu. He pursed his thin and red lips. After a long time, he suddenly took out two bracelets and put them on Jiujiu's wrists.
By the time Jiujiu reacted, the bracelets were already on her wrists. Her magic power seemed to have been sealed by the bracelets. There was no way she could do anything about it. Jiujiu's eyes widened. She looked at Xiao Sheng in disbelief. She took a deep breath but still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Why did you seal my magic power?"
Xiao Sheng pursed his lips and said, "Jiujiu, you are too cunning. I really don't feel at ease. Before I catch that fox demon, you should stay by my side obediently."
Jiujiu foolishly thought that Xiao Sheng was an idiot. She didn't expect that there would be a day when she misjudged him. Now that she had lost her magic power, she was alone. Even if Xiao Sheng wasn't stupid, he couldn't help but feel unhappy.
Jiujiu gritted her teeth. She wanted to kill Xiao Sheng. However, she had pretended to be obedient and cute. Now that her magic power was sealed, she could only glare fiercely at Xiao Sheng. She said with some unwillingness, "I promise I won't do anything on my own in the future. Brother Xiao Sheng, please spare me this time."
Xiao Sheng scratched his head and said frankly, "Before I left the mountain, Master warned me that if I met a beautiful woman with a pure temperament and clear eyes, I had to be very careful. The sweeter she smiled at you, the more vigilant I had to be." After Xiao Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Jiujiu with some embarrassment. "I almost forgot about Master's warning when I was with you. Fortunately, I remembered in the end.
