Here, Zhao Yan looked at Fu Jie and said, "I'm afraid you've grown attached to this fetus."
"No, if I could abort it, I'd want to get rid of it," Fu Jie said seriously.
Zhao Yan pondered for a moment and asked Fu Jie to describe her fiancé's other characteristics so she could ponder it in her mind.
If it was a powerful great serpent, it would be best not to offend it, lest it come knocking.
Zhao Yan listened attentively as Fu Jie continued.
As Fu Jie spoke more, Zhao Yan quickly caught onto something.
That was the strange markings on her fiancé's feet.
Zhao Yan took out her phone and searched online for a while, "Are they these markings?"
Fu Jie quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, exactly these markings."
Zhao Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Then there's still room for turning back. It proves that this serpent has only just begun to cultivate and transform into human form, and is not yet a powerful great serpent."
Master Wang exclaimed in surprise, "Master Zhao, this serpent has already cultivated into a human form, and you say it's not a powerful great serpent?"
Zhao Yan nodded lightly, "Not a powerful great serpent. If it were a powerful great serpent, it would be difficult to handle."
The great serpent she encountered with the old man back then was the truly powerful one.
Fu Jie suddenly knelt down with a thud and pleaded, "Please help me, Master Zhao."
Zhao Yan raised her hand and helped Fu Jie up, "Get up first. What is this kneeling to me?"
"Miss Zhao, according to you, how should this matter be handled?" Master Wang asked.
Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, touched her chin, and said, "I do have a few methods."
"The first method is to directly remove the serpent markings. The second method is to summon the serpent demon and discuss with it, see if it is willing to remove the serpent markings and sever its connection with Miss Fu."
"The first method is very risky. If we remove the serpent markings directly, I'm afraid this serpent husband will hold a grudge against me. After all, he who has nothing to lose is fearless."
If it were just her, Zhao Yan wouldn't be afraid.
But now Wu Jiaxin was with her. If something happened to Wu Jiaxin, it would be dangerous.
Master Wang interjected, "In that case, we should go with the second method. At least the second method leaves room for negotiation."
Zhao Yan nodded lightly, "Master Wang and I are on the same page."
Fu Jie sobbed, "I don't even know how to find him now. The second method requires his presence, but he's disappeared."
Zhao Yan waved her hand, "Don't panic. Since I've opened my mouth, I naturally have a way to find him."
"Go upstairs and calm down. Your yang energy is very low right now. If you get too emotionally distressed, it will easily affect your physical and mental health," Zhao Yan said.
As she spoke, she asked Wu Jiaxin to go upstairs with Fu Jie and talk for a while.
If something was to be done tonight, then preparations must be made.
"Thank you for your trouble, Master Zhao. If this matter is resolved, I will definitely thank you handsomely."
Led by Wu Jiaxin, she slowly walked upstairs.
Zhao Yan took out paper and pen and began to write.
After finishing, she handed the paper to Master Wang.
"Master Wang, please run an errand and buy what I've written on the paper. After all, we need to be prepared for both possibilities. If this serpent is unreasonable, we can't deal with him empty-handed," Zhao Yan instructed.
Master Wang took the paper handed to him by Zhao Yan and quickly said, "Okay, I'll go buy them now."
"Thank you for your trouble," Zhao Yan said.
Watching Master Wang leave with his two disciples, Zhao Yan opened her bag and rummaged through it carefully.
Her bag contained things she had brought from the Taoist temple.
Taking a leather rope, Zhao Yan pulled it hard, and the rope made a "snap" sound.
"The demon-subduing rope of the old man hasn't been used in a while. I need to apply some things to it."
As she spoke, Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and took out three talismans from her bag.
Most of the items in her bag were for dealing with ghosts, and very few were for dealing with demons.
These three talismans were left by the old man, and Zhao Yan had never used them.
Now it seemed that these three talismans would also have to be put to use.
To prevent the talismans from being insufficient, Zhao Yan drew a few more while she had time.
After drawing seven or eight, Master Wang returned with the items.
"Master Zhao, the black dog you mentioned is not easy to buy." Master Wang led a black dog, and his two disciples carried two large bags of items.
Zhao Yan smiled, "Thank you all three for your trouble. How much did it cost? I'll transfer it to you later."
Master Wang quickly waved his hand, "Master Zhao, what are you saying? This problem was passed on to you by me. If I still ask for your money, am I even human?"
"A ten-month-old black dog, and one that only has one pup per litter. I almost scoured the entire dog market in Jiangcheng."
Speaking of which, Master Wang took the dog leash and handed it to Zhao Yan.
"Master Zhao, please check if this dog is from a single-pup litter. If not, I'll go back and get a refund from the owner."
Zhao Yan squatted down, petted the black dog's head, and looked carefully for a while before nodding, "That owner didn't lie. It should be."
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Master Wang laughed heartily, "Then I'm relieved."
Zhao Yan asked Master Wang to lead the dog outside the door.
By around eight o'clock in the evening, after they had eaten dinner, Fu Jie sat aside without eating anything.
Zhao Yan understood, so she didn't try to persuade her.
"Miss Fu, please take us to the place where you first met your fiancé," Zhao Yan said.
"Okay." Fu Jie immediately stood up from her seat and walked out the door.
Master Wang had driven over. Zhao Yan asked Master Wang to drive ahead, and she would have Wu Jiaxin follow behind.
Master Wang nodded and said okay, then drove ahead.
Zhao Yan got into the car and told Wu Jiaxin to follow their vehicle.
After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at the outskirts of Jiangcheng. There were no more city lights around, only wilderness.
When the car in front stopped, Zhao Yan told Wu Jiaxin to stop as well.
After Fu Jie got out of the car, she was completely stunned by everything in front of her, her gaze vacant.
"How is this possible? How is this possible!" Fu Jie clutched her head, her eyes filled with terror.
Seeing Fu Jie like this, Zhao Yan quickly came to her side and gently patted her back, "What's wrong, Miss Fu?"
Fu Jie tightly grabbed Zhao Yan's wrist and pointed ahead, saying, "Master Zhao, when I met him before, there were many houses here, and quite a few cars. Why is there nothing now?"
"This is impossible. When I came to find him before, I could still see them. Now it's just a patch of wild land."
