Chapter 63 - 63 Are You Tired of Living?

63 Are You Tired of Living?

Shen Yuyan did not expect Shen Yaowei to ask this. His smile froze, and a blush appeared on his fair and handsome face.

“Nothing,” he said decisively, looking away from Shen Yaowei.

Shen Yaowei could tell at a glance that Shen Yuyan was hiding something from her.

Her Third Brother was the worst at lying.

!!

However, before she could continue asking, Shen Liu’an walked in after seeing Imperial Physician Li off.

“Yaoyao.” Shen Liu’an came to the bed and sized her up again with nervous eyes. “Yaoyao, are you really not feeling uncomfortable?”

Shen Yaowei shook her head slightly. “No, don’t worry, Father.”

“Father, that fox demon seems to be here for me and Yaoyao,” Shen Yuyan said slowly as he looked at Shen Liu’an.

Shen Liu’an moved a chair and sat down boldly. A helpless and guilty expression appeared on his face. “This is my negligence. That fox demon is one of the evil spirits your brother and I have been looking for recently.”

“One of them?” Shen Yaowei looked slightly puzzled. “The fox demon seems to hate us very much. Father, did you destroy its nest and kill its family?”

Shen Liu’an nodded slowly. “Yaoyao, do you still remember that day when I went to the bamboo courtyard in the palace to look for you? That day, I was going to explain to the emperor that the protective barrier of the Imperial Capital had been damaged. The fox demon you encountered today ran from South City to the Imperial Capital.”

“But didn’t you say that the evil spirits came from underground this time?” Shen Yuyan asked.

“The evil spirit that came from underground is from the ghost race. It’s betrothed to the fox demon you met today, who even gave birth to a child. That child is neither a ghost nor a demon and is bloodthirsty. When your eldest brother and I surrounded the family of three, because the situation was really difficult, we only had time to destroy the ghost race and severely injure that little child that was neither a ghost nor a demon, allowing it to escape with the fox demon.” Shen Liu’an finished speaking, and his expression had already turned serious. “Now that the fox demon has also been destroyed, only that little child is left. It might come to avenge its parents. That little child hasn’t grown up, so it can’t move during the day. Yaoyao, you’re not allowed to go out again at night, understand?”

Although Shen Liu’an had described the process of dealing with the evil spirits as simple and calm, Shen Yaowei could still imagine the danger.

She suddenly felt a little strange.

Logically speaking, fox demons should be very smart.

Why did it appear so rashly at the Dragon Lake Meeting to take revenge on her and her Third Brother?

Was it tired of living?

Seeing that Shen Yaowei was sitting there with her eyes slightly lowered and silent, Shen Liu’an thought that she was afraid. He reached out and touched the top of her head. “Did you not wear the amulet today?”

Shen Yaowei looked up slightly and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. “I forgot.”

Shen Liu’an sighed. “You must wear the amulet at all times recently. Yaoyao, stay at home and accompany Third Brother more. Daddy is going out now.”

Now that the barrier was damaged, he would not be at ease as long as that little child was not caught.

Shen Yaowei nodded obediently. “Father, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of my Third Brother.”

Shen Liu’an’s heart was warmed by his daughter’s obedience. He stood up with a smile and left.

After walking out of the Shen residence, Shen Liu’an suddenly turned around and said to Uncle Jiang, who was sending him off, “Old Jiang, prepare a box of gifts. I want to go to Prince Li’s Manor first.”
