My parents were still busy with company matters.
My brother was also nearing graduation.
Everyone was quite occupied.
During the day, it was just Shen Mengyi and me at home, and she deliberately chatted with Chen Jiaxing in front of me.
She was showing off her affection.
Thinking about Chen Jiaxing's identity as a Demonic Cultivator, I said to Shen Mengyi, "I'm not interested in Chen Jiaxing, but I feel that he isn't a good person."
Not all Demonic Cultivators are bad, but the process of advancing their cultivation is quite brutal.
Last time, I couldn't see through his cultivation level, which indicated that even with my weakened state, Chen Jiaxing's strength was subtly on par with mine.
My first half of the statement made Shen Mengyi's eyes light up, while the latter half caused her to scoff dismissively.
"What do you mean you're not interested in Brother Jiaxing? You're clearly afraid he won't choose you, so you're trying to tarnish his image in front of me on purpose."
I replied, "…Think whatever you want."
Shen Mengyi was momentarily speechless.
She was initially planning to throw a few more jabs at me when her phone buzzed to life with a new message from Chen Jiaxing.
With a cheerful expression, Shen Mengyi opened her phone, but her face quickly darkened as she read the message.
She shot me a fierce glare.
It seemed that this message was related to me.
Before long, I found out what Chen Jiaxing had sent.
Because he showed up in person.
With Shen Mengyi's excited gaze on him, he walked straight towards me and asked,
"Sister Ning Ning, can I add you on WeChat? It would be easier to stay in touch."
"I can't," I replied firmly.
His expression darkened, and a malicious aura intensified in his eyes.
At that moment, Shen Mengyi weakly interjected, "Brother Jiaxing, I told you she's hard to get along with. Brother Jiaxing, why don't we go upstairs and chat?"
Shen Mengyi tugged at Chen Jiaxing's arm, acting coyly.
She bit her lip and nodded in agreement.
By the time they came down from the building, two hours had already passed.
At this moment, Shen Mengyi's complexion was flushed, her lips slightly swollen.
Even a fool could tell what had happened.
But that wasn't the main point.
The main point was that she had developed a Demonic Aura!
It wasn't much, but it was enough to draw attention!
My heart sank.
How dare Chen Jiaxing harm a human right under my nose? He truly was bold!
As Chen Jiaxing walked outside, I formed a hand seal with my right hand, preparing to confront him.
I couldn't help but wonder if it was due to the constraints of the heavenly laws that my spells had no effect on him.
I turned to grab Shen Mengyi's hand, trying to remove the Demonic Aura surrounding her, but... it was futile!
My spiritual energy had no impact on the Demonic Aura enveloping her.
"What are you doing?" Shen Mengyi pulled her hand back, her eyes wide with surprise. "Shen Chun Ning, I like Brother Jiaxing! Don't get any wrong ideas about me!"
I was left speechless.
It had been years since I felt such an urge to hit someone!
In the following days, Shen Mengyi went out several times to meet Chen Jiaxing.
Each time she returned, she wore a shy smile, and the Demonic Aura around her grew even stronger.
The consequences of being influenced by the Demonic Aura were becoming increasingly evident.
For instance, she used to consider our parents and her brother, hesitant to completely sever ties with me.
But in recent days, Shen Mengyi had lost control of her emotions multiple times, shouting that she wanted us to perish together.
Although they were all under the basket, this still gave both Parents and my brother a headache.
After thinking for a moment, I took out my phone.
Calculating to find Chen Jiaxing's WeChat ID, I added him.
I introduced myself, and he quickly accepted my request.
After pondering for a while, I decided to chat with Chen Jiaxing in Shen Mengyi's tone.
"Brother Jiaxing, you’ve been getting so close to Shen Mengyi lately. Are you planning to choose her as your fiancée?"
The Chen Family still hadn’t decided who the betrothed would be.
Naturally, they were in a dilemma.
As the Trueborn Heiress, my status was more significant, but Shen Mengyi was easier to manipulate.
If I lowered my stance and pretended to care about him, perhaps...
Sure enough, Chen Jiaxing replied quickly: "Of course not. Isn’t it because Sister Chun Ning is too aloof?"
