Chapter 152: Chapter 88: Resembling a God or Demon

This turn of events greatly surprised Chen Shi, who couldn’t help but stick his head out of the cage and look around.

"Feifei can speak; her cultivation is not weak!"

He thought to himself, "She must have also cultivated a Golden Core! When we were biting her in a circle just now, if she had fought back, she could have made us howl in pain. And there’s Fu Leisheng; his appearance in the eastern market is probably because he has been investigating Elder Er and suspects that Elder Er is the real culprit behind the students’ disappearances!"

Hu Feifei had mentioned that Fu Leisheng liked money and even claimed he had sold students’ Divine Embryos. Now it seemed, it was mostly just a rumor.

If Fu Leisheng were really such a person, he wouldn’t care about Gu Qingmeng, hurriedly leave, and send Gu Qingmeng home.

He surely wouldn’t risk his life by breaking into the county yamen at night!

"Fu Leisheng must have recognized one of the big white geese as Hu Feifei, probably by using something like a Heavenly Eye Talisman. But how did he know Feifei could talk? Could he have known all along that Feifei was a fox spirit?"

Just as he thought this, he saw the County Magistrate’s wife transform back into a seductive woman, with a long centipede body behind her that clanged on the ground, sparking flames.

"Madam, please hold," County Magistrate Geng suddenly said.

The County Magistrate’s wife paused slightly, not immediately striking down Fu Leisheng, and looked at County Magistrate Geng.

County Magistrate Geng, with an apologetic expression, said, "Mr. Fu, if I let you take these students away, would you spare my wife and me?"

The County Magistrate’s wife became frustrated and exclaimed, "Geng Chun, what do you mean? How can we let the goose that’s almost in our mouths fly away?"

County Magistrate Geng shook his head and said, "Ling’er, we have been uncovered, and it’s impossible to continue as the magistrate. We made a mistake as a couple; how can we make another? Mr. Fu, to be honest, my wife and I are not evil spirits; originally, we were human. My wife Qu Ling inadvertently gained a cultivation technique called the Nine Heavens Moon Ringing Technique and, thrilled, she began to cultivate it. Little did we know that this technique required the drawing of moonlight for cultivation..."

He said this and suddenly stopped, his expression turning gloomy.

The County Magistrate’s wife exclaimed, "Geng Chun, why are you telling him all this? We, as a couple, should join forces and kill him!"

County Magistrate Geng shook his head and said, "Ling’er, we have already made a mistake and hurt many people; how can we err further? Mr. Fu, after my wife started practicing this technique, she gradually started acting strangely, and her body underwent changes. Especially after forming the Golden Core, she no longer seemed human."

His expression turned sad as he continued, "Ever since she started on blood meals, she developed an interest in eating humans. Each time the moon rose, she became more wicked and more like an evil spirit. I deeply love my wife and had to satisfy her. Sir..."

County Magistrate Geng said, "Please take these students away. I can no longer face being the parent official of Xinxiang County. After you leave, I will shed my official uniform, hand over the official seal, and take my wife to live in seclusion in Qianyang Mountain."

Moved, Fu Leisheng said, "I never imagined there was such a story between the county lord and your respected wife; it was presumptuous of me. I am not one to force issues; I only wish to take these students back. If the county lord resigns, I will not announce it to the public."

County Magistrate Geng called over Elder Er and said, "Old Wu, get the goose cages down and send them to Wencai Academy for Mr. Fu."

Elder Er looked at the County Magistrate’s wife, who, resigned, nodded and tearfully said, "Geng Chun, today I will follow you and retire with you!"

After saying this, she gradually reverted to her human form.

With tears rimming his eyes, Fu Leisheng said, "Madam is also a victim of fate. If it weren’t for that cultivation technique, you two would still be like a couple of Immortals, envied by others."

Elder Er, holding a bamboo pole, came to the tree, took down the goose cages one by one, and then opened the cages to release the geese.

Just then, a black dog appeared out of nowhere, snatched up one of the big white geese, and ran off.

Elder Er couldn’t catch up and angrily exclaimed, "Damned dog, how come it hasn’t been caught yet? Aren’t these government officials just freeloaders?"

Fu Leisheng picked up his bamboo pole that he had dropped on the ground, bowed, and said, "County Magistrate Geng, madam, I take my leave."

County Magistrate Geng sighed and said, "I won’t see you out."

Fu Leisheng used the bamboo pole to herd the geese, walking out of the county yamen’s backyard towards Wencai Academy. Elder Er hastily said, "I know geese well, let me help you watch them, lest they get lost."

Fu Leisheng agreed, and the two escorted the geese, progressing along the street.

The big white goose that had been snatched by the black dog was now quietly riding on the dog’s back, coming stealthily to the county yamen’s backyard.

County Magistrate Geng and the County Magistrate’s wife sat silently at the dining table, one seated and the other standing.

The County Magistrate’s wife was still dabbing her eyes, saddened by her fate.

"Madam, stop crying. Fu Leisheng... he really believed it!"

County Magistrate Geng suddenly burst out laughing, and the County Magistrate’s wife also chuckled, tears streaming down her cheeks as she laughed, "He really believed it! He actually thought that we inadvertently practiced dark magic and that’s why we turned into what we are now! He never considered that I really am an evil spirit!"

County Magistrate Geng and she looked at each other and laughed heartily, "He naively thought we would really let him go! He came here all high and mighty, but who knows what his cultivation level and strength are? How could we dare to confront him in the yamen? Ha ha ha! If we fought in the yamen, wouldn’t everyone know we are evil spirits!"

The County Magistrate’s wife also laughed uproariously, her fat trembling, "Not knowing his background, it was risky to start a fight without certainties! But now he has to protect those students turned geese, tied down, and we have a perfect chance to eliminate him!"
