Shen Lingxiao, born into a prestigious family and known for his virtuous, refined character, was on the verge of receiving the emperor's favor when he was suddenly ambushed and fell off a cliff.
He should have been smashed to pieces, but not only was he unharmed, his old wounds had all healed too.
As he wondered what was going on, the young woman beside him called out, "Mother plant."
In the wilderness, where had this... naked young woman come from?!!!
It turned out she was a lizard spirit who had cultivated for years. She used his body as a "mother plant" to shed her demonic aura and take human form, while he was given a new lease on life.
She called him Mother Plant, so he returned the favor and gave her a name: Xiaohu, because she was tigerish and a bit of a brute.
Because Xiaohu did not understand human nature, she had no regard for living beings and spent every day fighting and killing.
Shen Lingxiao, who bore a deep blood feud, was the exact opposite. Rather than repay blood with blood and an eye for an eye, he oddly opened a pharmacy and devoted himself to helping people. The common folk adored him and called him the "Bodhisattva of a Man."
Xiaohu couldn't stand his saintly act, as if he were a virtuous person on a pedestal. She cursed him for spending all his virility in bed, then turning into a cowardly good-for-nothing who dared not take revenge once he got up.
Shen Lingxiao looked pitiful. "Things have been unsettled lately, and the authorities are hot on my trail."
Indeed, the world had lately taken a sudden turn for the worse, and everyone was on edge.
A gang of bullies the authorities could not get rid of was reduced to several carts of bones overnight.
A corrupt official was being publicly tried. Just as he was about to name his accomplices, he suddenly spat blood from his mouth and nose and died in court.
Shen Lingxiao's second biological brother, who had always been a coward afraid of death, suddenly seemed possessed. He climbed into a coffin of his own accord and begged to die.
All these murders happened right under the authorities' noses. On closer inspection, they shared one curious detail: every victim had once bullied Shen Lingxiao.
Yet there was not a single clue pointing to him.
The only explanation was that his charitable deeds had earned him blessings, and Heaven had made sure justice was served.
But the retribution was so precise, so unnatural and terrifying, that even Xiaohu, who had killed countless people, found it frightening. "Is this a haunting?"
"Don't be scared."
The "good-for-nothing" rested his chin on her shoulder and gave her a crooked smile, gentle and eerie at once. "A man who has turned bad is scarier than a ghost."
Xiaohu shivered. "How do you know?"
Shen Lingxiao raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth curling in a half-smile. "Because I'm still at large."

[Aside from the female lead's original identity at the beginning, the story does not rely on any other supernatural elements. Enjoy reading!]

The teacher asked me if I was clean, but I couldn't tell (don't delete my comment to help readers ask 😭)
The new article has been collected, come on! Don't be discouraged, it's hard for Lujiang to get ahead if you don't chase after hot dogs.
The next chapter starts every year, will you still write "Dang Xia"? [Glasses]
A reader in the comment area lamented that it was tiring to watch. In fact, the pace is fast and the plot keeps going. It feels like the protagonist never takes a break, hahaha. But the plot and characters of Toraya-sensei's article are both good-looking 💪 💪
The plot is very interesting, but it's very tiring to watch. We don't understand the wording or anything else.
I just like to watch young couples get jealous and quarrel, but then they become abusive. Mr. Toraya is still so good at writing, wait for you to finish [Compare your heart]
There will be more emotional dramas in your next book. I feel like you are very good at writing the male protagonist's sexual tension 🐶
I just saw Zuo Hua hahaha
It's so well written that it doesn't sound like a newbie's. It would be better to change the title of the book at the beginning. I suggest changing the cover. Even if it is just a word, it would be better. This level should not be this data.
Baby, when will you fix it? Okay, I won't rush you. The quality of your writing is most important. You can actually preview it after it's posted. There are some gaps in some places. I'll check it out again in a week.
