Pei Jizhen's love for his partner, Zhang Lu, was as deep as the sea. Even after learning that she had been controlled by a Five Aggregates Demon before they met, and had even become a plaything for Demon Cultivators, he was still unwilling to abandon her.
But having been controlled by the Five Aggregates Demon for years, Zhang Lu's nature had long been twisted, and her memories were a complete mess. Even after the Five Aggregates Demon was expelled, she still couldn't recover.
First, Pei Jizhen was nearly strangled to death by her. Then, she demanded he repay the Spirit Stones that had been spent supporting his study of the Puppetry Technique years ago.
The pitiful Pei Jizhen had entrusted all his Spirit Stones to Zhang Lu for safekeeping. At that moment, he only had about a hundred Spirit Stones on him, and Zhang Lu's mockery made him flush with shame.
