My Human Identity Was Exposed by an Evil Spirit Wife

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Sure!!

"Report, Miss! No trace of the evil spirit was found!" The butler stepped forward at the wrong moment. It wasn’t intentional, but they really didn’t find any trace of the evil spirit.

They used all kinds of detection equipment, but none of them revealed any signs that the evil spirit had ever been there.

The evil spirit seemed to have vanished into thin air, and had only targeted the young lady.

Feihu’s eyes flashed with fear, and there was still lingering dread in his heart that hadn’t faded.

"Search again. If there’s still nothing, we’ll just hang on till tonight’s strangeness ends and wait for dawn." Feihu rubbed her temples.

Right now, this whole area, including the city, was covered by that full moon overhead.

When the hunting ground descends, humans can’t escape its range. They can only stay here, like prey trapped in an arena by the evil spirits.

"Thank you for saving me. There’s still a bit of time before sunrise. Can you stay by my side?" She looked softly at Jiang Che.

Tuantuan squinted, staring intently at the woman in front of her, but before she could speak, Jiang Che refused. "No, I still want to go out for a walk later."

"And I’m only a Level 5. With so many strong hunters here, I’d only drag you down if I stayed." Jiang Che shook his head.

This evil spirit was able to assault Feihu’s mind and trap her in an illusion without any of the masters noticing—clearly, the spirit had real skills.

Evil spirits also kill each other, especially those from different dungeons.

Devouring other spirits helps them grow—that’s the clause Tuantuan offered Ding Ning back then as part of their deal.

Although Jiang Che didn’t know all this, his instincts told him to keep Tuantuan away from danger.

Feihu’s expression was complicated. Of course she knew there were plenty of experts around her, but even with all those experts, she still got attacked.

"Did you run into any evil spirits when you went out this time?" She wanted to test her guess—maybe Jiang Che just got lucky and didn’t run into a single spirit.

"We didn’t meet any out in the suburbs, then we headed into the city."

"I didn’t run into any, but they did. There was an evil spirit attacking them, so I just helped them out. After that, I figured I’d take him along." Jiang Che gave her a brief explanation.

"Oh~" Feihu nodded thoughtfully. She felt Jiang Che really did have incredible luck—out wandering for so long and not a single evil spirit found him.

She genuinely wanted to keep Jiang Che by her side—first because she liked having him around, and second, because his luck seemed almost supernatural!

Maybe her only chance of surviving tonight was sticking close to him.

The evil spirit had only acted against her—obviously, she was the sole target.

The entire villa, inside and out, had been thoroughly searched, but still, no trace of an evil spirit could be found.

And apart from herself, no one else in the villa had been dragged into an illusion.

If the spirit wasn’t after her specifically, then she was just seriously unlucky.

For such a powerful evil spirit to set its sights on her...

"Then can’t you stay by my side for a while? Your luck is amazing. Maybe it’s only if you stay close that I’ll survive the night." Feihu looked at Jiang Che, pleading.

"Just for one night, please?" She pressed her hands together in front of her, looking at Jiang Che in supplication.

"No," Jiang Che kept shaking his head. "Even I’m afraid of such a powerful evil spirit."

He’d promised his wife—no matter what happened, he had to keep himself safe.

Never let himself wind up in danger.

Besides, he barely ever got to see Tuantuan. At sunrise, she’d leave again. Tonight, he wanted to spend a little more time with her, take her out to see the flowers and grass outside the villa, or admire other scenery together.

Feihu: ...

Her mouth opened and closed. She turned her face to the side to look at the mirror. Though her spirit had just been harmed, she still looked beautiful; now, with her frail state, she actually resembled Lin Daiyu, that sickly beauty from the classics.

Like this, any normal man would want to protect her at first sight.

But Jiang Che stared at her with zero reaction.

Hearing the mention of danger, he refused even more quickly.

This guy—he didn’t seem afraid of evil spirits at all, so why was he even more timid than she’d imagined?

He kept claiming he was afraid of dying, but nothing he did looked like someone scared for his life.

"You’re scared of dying?!" Feihu’s voice rose a little. She’d watched Jiang Che’s livestreams several times—nowhere did this guy look scared of death.

Whenever this guy met an evil spirit, he always looked calm, like he’d fight to the death if they didn’t back off. And now he was claiming to be afraid?

Tuantuan grabbed Jiang Che’s hand and nodded earnestly.

Looks like Dad is really following the family instructions: ’No matter what happens, the first thing you do is protect yourself.’

As for Feihu, Tuantuan stared at her without blinking.

For a moment back there, Tuantuan could feel it—the way this woman looked at Dad was the same as how Mom used to look at him.

This feeling—is it called "liking"?

She stood protectively in front of Jiang Che, like a little cub facing down danger, trying to block Feihu’s gaze.

Feihu saw the little girl Jiang Che was holding tightly and immediately noticed her eyes. This kid looked at her like she was the enemy.

Noticing Tuantuan guarding Jiang Che, Feihu burst out laughing.

Seems Jiang Che has earned himself a heroic image in this little girl’s heart during their trip outside.

All kids admire heroes—lots of girls dream of marrying a hero when they grow up.

Hmph!

Feihu snorted quietly. Just a seven- or eight-year-old brat—what could she possibly compete with me over!

Now that Tuantuan was out and about, she looked way different from before. Previously, her body had been half-transparent, her face always covered in creepy wounds, and when she smiled, her mouth could almost reach her ears.

But now, just to come to the human world, she’d made a lot of effort to disguise herself.

Now, she looked like an adorable, fair-skinned human girl.

Feihu was just about to go over, grab Jiang Che’s hand, and work a little "cute girl" charm move.

She firmly believed most men couldn’t resist that move—just a cute shake of the head, a bite of the lip, and teary eyes pleading, "Pretty please~~"

No one could withstand that trick.

Feihu used to run a livestream platform, with plenty of female streamers working under her.

Those streamers got a lot of big spenders hooked with this routine.

Feihu had picked up plenty of skills herself.

"Waaaah—" She hadn’t even spoken when the little girl suddenly burst out crying.

Jiang Che hurriedly scooped her up. "What’s wrong? What’s wrong?"

"Tuantuan wants Mommy—" Tuantuan pressed her face into Jiang Che’s shoulder and cried loudly.

Feihu was speechless—this brat!

She saw the little brat snuggled on Jiang Che’s shoulder, sneaking a glance her way!

"Mommy said when I miss her, I should go look at the moon. Will you go outside to look at the moon with Tuantuan, please~~"

With humans around, Tuantuan was too shy to call him Dad.

Jiang Che’s eyes lit up instantly!

Wife!

"Of course!!"
