The next day, it was windy and snowy outside. Madam Jin led Shen Li and Xing Zhi through the main hall of buying and selling. There was no one in the hall. Shen Li thought it would not be open to the public during the day. The rare treasures in the hall were on display. Shen Li turned and looked around, Madam Jin smiled: "The things here are all for my clan to sell, but if the girl likes them, I can do less business and give the things to the girl, but if the girl is willing to kiss me, that’s good.”
The corner of Shen Li's mouth twitched, and Xing Zhi behind her twisted her head straight, forcing her to look straight ahead: "Let's go."
Madam Jin smiled and said, "I was just joking. Shenjun is jealous now. You are really a little chicken."
Xing Zhi pushed Shen Li forward and ignored her.
After passing through the main hall and walking through a patch of snow, they came to a cave. Madam Jin turned around and said, "It's time for the Divine Lord to stop. Inside is where the servants are treating the girl's injuries. I hope the Divine Lord will be guarding outside the cave, don’t let anyone in.”
Xing Zhi said: "I can also go in and guard."
"This can't be done." Madam Jin's hands were covered with white air. She reached out to hold Shen Li: "I will have to undress the girl later. How can this woman's skin be allowed to be seen by men at will? You are the Divine Lord, so that won't work. If you insist on coming in, then fine, you can treat the girl's injuries, and I will guard and guide you. However, there must be skin-to-skin contact during the treatment. Divine Lord, you..." There was a seductive look in the corners of her eyes. She walked out and said with a hint of teasing, "Are you okay?"
The smile on Xing Zhi's face did not diminish: "That's it, I'll just keep watch outside." Faced with Madam Jin's provocation, Xing Zhi actually said such a submissive word, which really surprised Shen Li. She was stunned. However, she listened to Xing Zhi again, "But, I hope Madam Jin will also pay attention to her sense of propriety and don't do unnecessary actions. Don't touch the bottom line."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Li felt that the surroundings were even colder, but Madam Jin smiled and said to Shen Li, "Come on, girl, let's go in." She led her into a dark cave. When she fully entered the cave, Shen Li stopped suddenly. She couldn't see anything inside, and the sound seemed to be blocked by the thick stone wall. She couldn't smell anything at the tip of her nose. It was like she was once again trapped in the five senses. The situation is the same as if everything was lost, only the hand is held in the palm of Madam Jin.
"Girl?" Madam Jin asked softly.
"Wait a minute..." Shen Li tried hard to adjust her emotions. When she opened her eyes again, she had lost all her vulnerability, "Let's go." Because the person holding her hand was not Xing Zhi, so... she had to arm herself as the invincible King Bi Cang.
Madam Jin's golden eyes lit up in the darkness, and she smiled softly: "I really like the girl's temperament."
Continuing to walk forward, Shen Li vaguely saw a glimmer of light. It was a simple stone room with a stone bed covered with dry straw. Behind the stone bed, there was a large bottomless hole. The lady led Shen Li to the stone bed and asked her to sit down. She smiled and said, "This is where I usually practices and meditates."
Shen Li looked at the dark cave extending downward strangely: "Where does that lead to?"
"Where?" Although Madam Jin was still smiling, her words were warning, "That is not a place where living creatures should go. The girl knows that I am a demon. Since I am a demon, I will inevitably have some evil thoughts. In that cave are the evil thoughts and desires that have been separated from my mind for tens of thousands of years. I have sealed them in the depths of this mountain. It is unknown what they have grown into under the mountain for so many years. But if the girl cherishes her life, she must remember, don’t go in, don’t be curious about it.”
