Chapter 161 Demonic Aura

Faced with the incessant chatter of her "mother," Li Qing was somewhat dumbfounded and simply nodded in response.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I transmigrated into the world of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", I was pressured to get married.

Li Qing knew what the continuation of the family line meant to an ancient family, but he could only mourn for the Li family, after all, the Li family had lost the hope of continuing its bloodline, and the Li family's lineage had been extinguished.

No matter what, this ending cannot be changed; the last descendant of the Li family died last night.

Moreover, the death was very suspicious and certainly not an ordinary way of dying.

Li Qing had already sensed the lingering demonic energy in the air when he was in the room.

After "Li Qing" died, his identity card was replaced. Li Qing had no idea what the system would do with his body; it might have already turned to ashes.

Looking at the "mother" in front of him with a face full of concern, Li Qing found it difficult to say some things.

You can't just say, "Madam, your son was killed by a monster last night, and there wasn't even a body left."

Besides, Li Qing was sitting right in front of her, so Madam Li certainly wouldn't believe these words.

Remembering his first world mission and the demonic aura in the room, Li Qing had an idea.

“Mother, these past few days, whenever night falls and I lie in bed preparing to fall asleep, I always feel that the atmosphere in the room is unusually eerie. The whole room is filled with a gloomy and cold atmosphere that makes my hair stand on end. Sometimes, I am also suddenly awakened by nightmares, and I am so frightened that I am covered in cold sweat.”

Li Qing deliberately feigned extreme fear and recounted his ordeal to Madam Li in a trembling voice.

His eyes revealed a deep fear, as if he had really encountered something terrible.

Li Qing gripped Madam Li's clothes tightly with both hands, his body trembling slightly, as if seeking comfort and protection.

Then, Li Qing asked again, trembling with fear, "Mother, do you think there might be evil spirits breaking into my room and trying to kill me?"

As he spoke, Li Qing's face grew paler and paler, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

All of the above was naturally an act by Li Qing, done to make Madam Li believe his words.

After this performance, Li Qing had to admire his own acting skills.

Seeing her child's fearful and uneasy appearance, Madam Li naturally believed Li Qing's words. In the Li family now, nothing was more important than Li Qing's safety.

Madam Li held Li Qing's hand and comforted her, "Qing'er, why didn't you tell your mother about this sooner? If something had happened to you, how could your mother live with herself!"

"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine!"

"What do you mean 'nothing'! It'll be too late if something bad happens when you're targeted by evil spirits!"

Madam Li stared at Li Qing with a serious expression and said.

"I understand, Mother's teachings are correct."

After speaking, Li Qing slowly lowered his head, seemingly somewhat ashamed.

"Qing'er, there's no need for that. You don't understand the power of evil spirits, that's why you were careless."

"Demons and evil spirits are extremely ferocious and tyrannical. Qing'er, you must be careful if you discover anything unusual in the future!"

The thought that evil spirits might threaten Li Qing's life caused Madam Li to suddenly stand up and slam her hand on the solid wood table.

"Qing'er, don't worry. If any evil spirits try to harm you, your mother will be the first to object."

As the saying goes, "Women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers!"

This statement couldn't be more fitting for Madam Li. She was a frail woman, but when she learned that there might be evil spirits haunting her home, she showed no fear or hesitation whatsoever.

Instead of worrying about her own safety, she was more concerned about whether her child would be harmed.

The power of maternal love made her incredibly strong in an instant, with only one thought in her mind—to protect her child.

At this moment, Madam Li's eyes were firm and resolute, as if she was ready to fight the evil spirits to the end. She clenched her fists tightly and told herself that she must not let the evil spirits succeed and must not let them threaten Li Qing's safety.

"I'll send someone to fetch an exorcist to protect you!"

"Mother, can exorcists deal with evil spirits?"

Still seemingly a little uneasy, Li Qing said weakly.

"Of course! If one exorcist can't deal with the evil spirits, then I'll hire two. If two exorcists can't deal with the evil spirits, then I'll hire four!"

"Qing'er, don't worry. Our Li family may lack many things, but we certainly don't lack money!"

"No matter how much money it costs, it's all worth it as long as Qing'er is protected from harm!"

When Madam Li came to Li Qing's side, she seemed to be standing on tiptoe because she was not tall enough, so she gently stroked Li Qing's head with one hand to comfort him.

After a while, Madam Li withdrew her hand and sat down in the chair.

"Huan'er!"

"Yes, madam."

Upon hearing this, the young maid immediately went to Madam Li and waited for her instructions.

"Immediately order the servants in the manor to find exorcists. Find several, and make sure they are truly skilled! Don't worry about spending money; you must ensure the young master's safety!"

"Yes, Madam, I will have someone take care of it."

After saying that, the little maid Huan'er immediately ran out of the hall and disappeared from Li Qing's sight.

After the maid Huan'er left, Madam Li looked at Li Qing and said, "Qing'er, don't worry. Once Huan'er brings the exorcist back, you can rest easy tonight."

"I know, mother."

......

While Mrs. Li waited anxiously.

In the afternoon, the little maid Huan'er finally returned with several servants.

After the young maid Huan'er entered the Li residence, several unfamiliar figures followed her in.

These three figures were the exorcists that the little maid Huan'er and several servants had searched for all noon to find.

The exorcist at the head of the procession looked to be around fifty or sixty years old, with long, flowing white hair and beard, giving him a somewhat otherworldly air. He wore a yellow Taoist robe and carried a peach wood sword on his back, his every move exuding a refined and otherworldly charm.

The second person following closely behind was a fat monk with a huge head. He had a kind and friendly smile on his face, and his clothes were wide open, revealing his round belly. His thick arms looked strong and powerful, and he seemed unrestrained, carefree and casual.

The last exorcist was the only female exorcist among the three.

The woman was young, probably only in her early twenties, with a delicate and beautiful face, like a lotus emerging from the water. She wore a plain white cloth dress and brown trousers, which made her look simple and elegant. A bright red cloth was draped around her waist.

On each of her wrists was a gleaming gold bracelet, sparkling with dazzling light.

In addition, a gray cloth bag hung from her slender waist, bulging and full, its contents unknown.
