My Human Identity Was Exposed by an Evil Spirit Wife

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: She Has No Confidence in This Confrontation!

The swaying branches overhead suddenly froze, and she grabbed Tuantuan, turning her around to examine her from head to toe.

After confirming that this little girl was an evil spirit, the enormous Cannibal Flower tilted her head, bewildered.

"A human? How could it be a human?" A vine poked at Tuantuan. "How does a human give birth to an evil spirit?"

Ding Ning spoke softly, "He didn’t give birth to her, more like adopted."

"Ohhhh!—" Hua’s face was a picture of sudden realization. Adoption, now that made sense. No wonder.

"I didn’t expect you to be so responsible."

"Even raising a kid." Hua didn’t actually believe her best friend was truly fond of this; at most, it was a brief curiosity. Humans and evil spirits were natural enemies.

She never thought her friend would not only keep the child nearby but even show that kind of broad affection toward her.

Ding Ning was silent for a moment, then stuck out her tongue. "He lives with her parents too... They’re also evil spirits!" As if afraid Hua might misunderstand, Ding Ning hurriedly laid it all out at once.

"You—" For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. Raising a child was one thing, but now even the parents?

Tuantuan’s head wobbled like a roly-poly toy from being poked so much; it seemed like Hua was using Tuantuan’s head to help her think things through.

"Auntie, Daddy is a good person." Tuantuan shook her head, not the least bit bothered by Hua’s poking. Just like her mother said, it’s fine as long as it’s her being poked, just don’t poke Daddy.

"What kind of evil spirits are the parents?" A thread of caution crept into Hua’s voice. One evil spirit falling under a human’s spell was strange enough—now there were more, drawn in one after another by that human.

She’d originally thought her best friend’s fun was just raising a human for kicks.

But now, things clearly weren’t that simple.

"The parents are the Blood Slaughter Couple. I haven’t had much contact with them before, but now I think they’re actually pretty nice." She didn’t know all the evil spirits in the territory; there were simply too many, too varied.

"Don’t tell me, just like you guys, it was some coincidence that brought you together?" Hua’s voice was turning colder by the second. This wasn’t about finding an intriguing human to play with—this was obvious enchantment!

An enchantment cast by a human powerhouse!

Ding Ning thought for a while, then nodded. She knew it was all very coincidental, but those were just the facts.

The Blood Slaughter Couple were evil by nature, yet Jiang Che’s warmth drew even them in—didn’t that prove how exceptional Jiang Che was?

There were many evil spirits in the dungeon. Some were willing to fight for her, while others just wanted to live quietly in their own little patch of land, following their whims.

After hearing that, the giant flower stopped trembling altogether.

Ding Ning saw this as a sign of Jiang Che’s greatness, but Hua didn’t see it that way at all!

If Ding Ning had said that human’s surrogate parents were other evil spirits, it might’ve been fine. But it had to be the Blood Slaughter Couple.

Those two did everything as they pleased—when in a good mood, they were orderly; when in a bad mood, they broke every rule. Plus, those two evil spirits took pleasure in slaughter.

Most evil spirits had their quirks. Each followed their own set of rules.

She’d thought she might snatch a human at times and let them go, but such a thing was nearly impossible with evil spirits who reveled in carnage.

The fact that both of the Blood Slaughter Couple had been bewitched by that human...

Hua stared at her best friend, watching the way she brightened up just talking about this Jiang Che.

She sized up her best friend and the child in front, the Little Evil Spirit nodding along in agreement.

Hua was best at enchantment and illusion techniques. She’d studied the humans’ livestream equipment. Most illusions wouldn’t fool the cameras, but hers could.

Just as humans liked to say, "Under the camera, all things are revealed."

But if her illusion was stronger than the livestream device, it could deceive even the lens.

"So you’re not going to introduce me?" Hua’s voice was icy—completely different from her earlier casual banter with Tuantuan and Ding Ning.

"Of course I am! That’s the main reason I’m looking for you today—I really want you to meet him. He’s adorable." Ding Ning stroked a petal, so many things about Jiang Che bubbling up that she wanted to tell her friend.

But now she felt her friend had to meet Jiang Che in person, face to face.

Hua felt her friend’s body leaning into hers as her massive blossom curled around Ding Ning, clutching at these last tender moments.

"From now on, you have to be good, okay?" Hua’s voice was soft—so soft Ding Ning couldn’t detect the note of farewell underneath.

"Absolutely! I was just thinking about visiting him at the hunting grounds next time. He said he’d take me to the human world—to ride their so-called Ferris wheel!" Ding Ning’s voice was bright with excitement.

Hua looked at the best friend in her arms. In all of Dungeon 9, she was the evil spirit most skilled in enchantment and illusion.

And yet, she couldn’t see a trace of enchantment on her own friend or that Little Evil Spirit.

Not even she could break through the illusion!

This human was powerful—powerful enough to seduce even the Lord. She truly didn’t know how to wake her friend up.

The arts of illusion and enchantment were known to be the least harmful—and yet, the most dangerous.

Because they attacked the soul itself.

Low-level illusions could be shattered with a bit of pain; high-level ones, perhaps only by killing the caster, could they be dispelled.

Hua took a deep breath. She hadn’t expected such a powerful human would descend with this dungeon cycle.

Now, she was prepared for sacrifice.

Only an illusionist like herself stood even a chance at facing that human powerhouse.

If...

If even she failed, then death might be the only way to break free.

She looked at this chaotic, filthy space—land soggy and fouled, dust in the air like red grains, as if formed from dried blood.

She knew ever since Ding Ning saw human society, she was drawn to that clean world.

Only...

Hua stroked Ding Ning’s head.

No matter how ugly and stained the evil spirits’ world was compared to human society, she couldn’t bear to let it go.

"If you ever make it to human society, will you come back and tell me what it’s really like?" Hua’s head hung low, her voice stuck in her throat.

"What’s wrong?" Ding Ning suddenly felt something off about her friend, her voice edged with tears as well.

"Nothing. Just... seeing you fall for a human, I can’t bear to let you go." Hua looked at Ding Ning and Tuantuan. As a master of illusion, she truly couldn’t find the faintest trace of manipulation on either of them.

Have humans really produced someone this powerful?

She had no confidence—none at all—in what was about to come.
