Wanbao Lady

Chapter 88 The Bridge of Truth

Zheng Ran was panicked for a moment.

She wanted to throw the comb away so that no one would know that she had dealt with the banshee.

But the female voice in the comb said: "It's no use throwing the comb away. I will let everyone in the world know how a scheming woman tries to win the favor of her husband..."

"do not talk!"

Zheng Ran collapsed.

The female voice fell silent.

Then he smiled and said:

"Oh, I'm really doing this for your own good. We're just doing a small deal. We can all benefit from it, so why not do it?"

Under the instigation of the female voice and out of fear of losing her husband, Zheng Ran agreed.

Anyway... as long as it doesn't involve any big secrets...

However, it was too late when Zheng Ran thought so.

The banshee had gradually invaded her body through the comb as she combed her hair again and again.

Zheng Ran found that sometimes she would have "blackouts".

I don't remember doing some things at all.

But after asking the servants in the house, they would swear that it was indeed her who did it.

Zheng Ran gradually felt confused and panicked.

Soon after, the banshee completely took over her body and became one with her will.

-

After listening to the whole incident, Chongfan sighed.

Greed, anger, and ignorance, this is the opportunity for monsters to take advantage!

"Husbands and wives need equal communication. From what you said, you have never told your husband what you really think."

Chongfan said calmly.

After hearing this, Zheng Ran nodded, "I... I'm afraid of disturbing him and affecting his official duties... I'm not worthy of him in the first place, and being able to marry him is already my blessing, how can I cause him more trouble?"

Chongfan suddenly thought of the conversation between the women he had heard outside the rouge shop.

I understood it in my heart.

It all comes down to two words: inferiority complex.

Her family was impoverished, and she was a mortal with no accomplishments, but she married a powerful and high-ranking detective from the Demon Suppression Division.

It would be strange if I didn't feel inferior.

Chongfan sighed.

"Communication is like a bridge. The bridge between you two is broken, so the demons can take advantage of it and get in. You borrowed the demons' hands to build a bridge, but this bridge is full of holes. In time, it will collapse."

Zheng Ran savored these words carefully, with a look of realization on his face.

Chong Fan looked at her expression and continued, "In this case, why not build a bridge of sincerity?"

The Bridge of Truth?

While Zheng Ran was thinking carefully, Chong Fan said to the wall behind him: "Friend Yan, if you don't show up now, when will you show up?"

The door behind him was pushed open and Yan Shao strode in.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with tears and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

Guilt, shock, pain, regret...

But there was no blame.

"My husband, I'm sorry. I... have let you down."

Zheng Ran shed tears.

She took advantage of her husband's trust and did so many wrong things.

She would never forgive herself.

She originally thought she would be criticized, but she heard her husband say:

"No, it's my fault, after all."

Zheng Ran raised his head suddenly.

"If I hadn't neglected you and made you feel uneasy, you wouldn't have made such a mistake..."

Zheng Ran stared at him blankly and murmured, "Husband..."

Yan Shao half-knelt down in front of her and said firmly: "You know, when you dressed up for me, what made me happy was not your appearance, but your thoughts for me. This shows that you care about me."

"You used to be shy and taciturn, but later you learned to express yourself actively. I am also happy that you have changed for me. Because you are finally willing to speak your mind! Whether you are happy, resentful, or angry, I know your thoughts and hear your demands, so I will come back no matter how busy I am."

At this point, Yan Shao smiled bitterly, "Come to think of it, every time you told me that you were fine and asked me to go back to the office so as not to delay my official duties, I was actually disappointed. I thought you didn't care about me anymore."

"How could that be!" Zheng Ran suddenly retorted loudly.

"But now I know," Yan Shao looked into her eyes, "because you care too much about me, you are afraid that your care will become a burden to me, so you would rather swallow the pain of missing me."

Zheng Ran shed tears silently.

Yan Shao held her shoulders tightly and said earnestly, "Aran, you must know that you are my legally married wife! Husband and wife should advance and retreat together. You don't have to feel inferior to me, nor do you have to wrong yourself to please me deliberately."

He spoke each word with great force: "Whether you are shy and silent, or speak sweet words, whether you are frugal or extravagant, I only love you!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Ran couldn't help but burst into tears.

It turns out that I was really wrong...

“But I’ve done so many wrong things…”

Can I turn back?

But Yan Shao said, "I am also responsible for this matter. Let's share the punishment and advance and retreat together! After redeeming our sins, we can live a good life and grow old together, okay?"

The practitioners of the Demon Suppression Division are different from traditional immortal practitioners. They practice the "Demon Suppression Post" issued by the imperial court.

This kind of practice can be mastered quickly, allowing a person to achieve the same level of skill that would take a traditional cultivator hundreds of years in just a few decades.

But it has a fatal flaw, which is that it cannot increase lifespan.

Just like Yan Shao, who had reached the late Jindan stage before the age of forty.

But he will still grow old and turn into a handful of earth after a hundred years.

Therefore, their lives are essentially no different from those of ordinary people, and they will marry and have children.

You can also grow old with the one you love.

Zheng Ran burst into tears and buried her head on her husband's shoulder.

After a while of tenderness, Yan Shao said: "Okay, the most important thing has not been resolved yet."

He patted his wife's shoulder, causing her to lift her head from his shoulder.

"That banshee is still in your body..." Having said that, Yan Shao looked at Chong Fan for help.

Chong Fan looked at Zheng Ran and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Zheng Ran nodded firmly.

"Yes, I felt that I had done many wrong things before and gave up on myself. But since my husband won't give up on me, I won't give up on myself either! I still have sins to atone for, and I haven't grown old with my husband yet. I want to live!"

Looking at her bright eyes, Chongfan smiled slightly, "Good."

She pointed again, and the golden thread meandered down from her wrist, sank into Zheng Ran's brow and disappeared.

"This is a thread that can pull the demon inside you. But this requires your cooperation. Protect your mind, boost your will, and drive out the demon!"

Zheng Ran suddenly felt a tearing sensation in his mind and couldn't help biting his lips in pain.

Yan Shao looked at the two of them nervously.

In a dimension invisible to others, the thread tightly stuck to the banshee's body, trying to control her movements and pull her out.

"No, what is this!"
