Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 297: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (24)

He didn't expect that he would be hurt by an unarmed nun, and the eyes under the male demon's mask were even more gloomy.

The sharp nails carried a purple gas and headed straight for Shi Qi.

Shi Qi didn't have time to react before the gas entered her nostrils. Fortunately, she held her breath in time and didn't inhale much, but her limbs soon became weak and she felt dizzy.

Just as the sharp claws were about to pierce his chest, a white light suddenly flashed on Shi Qi's wrist, and a familiar figure waved his hand and easily blocked the male demon's attack.

"We haven't seen each other for a hundred years, and the rotten smell on you is exactly the same as your master." Xiang Ling pushed with his backhand, and the male demon was violently shocked several meters away. He covered his chest and spurted blood.

“…Ling?” The masked male demon covered his chest in disbelief. Seeing that the situation was not right, he wanted to escape, but all the exits of the brothel had already been sealed.

"Sui didn't show up himself and let you come by yourself... isn't it obvious? Haha, you're just a chess piece. Only you... obey him like a dog and can be discarded at will." Xiang Ling raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes were cold.

"Puff...cough cough. Whatever you say, if you have the guts... just kill me!" The male demon supported his body, his eyes wide open with anger.

Xiang Ling didn't even look at the male demon. He just turned around and rubbed the marks on Shi Qi's neck where the male demon had just touched him. He said in a muffled voice, "Foolish, you dare to fight that demon alone."

Shi Qi froze and murmured, "I..."

I just want someone to beat up.

But it doesn’t seem right to say that.

"I...I'm not afraid. You will come anyway."

For some reason, after Shi Qi said this, he clearly felt the big hand on his neck became much softer, and the murderous intent in the fox's eyes also decreased a lot.

"You're so talkative." Xiang Ling picked up Shi Qi with one hand and carried Shi Qi to a relatively safe platform.

Shi Qi just stood firm when he saw the male demon gathering his strength to attack Xiang Ling, and exclaimed, "Watch out behind you!"

Xiang Ling's eyes changed, and he grabbed the male demon's neck with one hand accurately without even turning his head.

With another push, the male demon fell straight to the ground.

Xiang Ling then turned around, bent down, and took out the fox pill of the male demon.

"The government officials are coming. I'm so tired. You go and clean up the mess..." A fox turned around and blinked, seeming very tired.

Shi Qi was about to say something when Xiang Ling yawned and walked towards a room.

"The government is investigating a case. Open the door! Open the door!" The door of the brothel was slammed loudly.

The fox demon singing girls who had just disappeared reappeared in the lobby. Some of the guests who had survived the disaster were still in shock, and some were still talking nonsense.

Xiaorou's originally calm face instantly burst into tears when she opened the door and saw the soldiers: "Sir, help me, luckily you came in time, otherwise our Huayue Tower... would be finished."

"What's going on..." The leading officer was shocked when he saw the bloody scene in the lobby.

"Girl, don't be afraid, but is the fox demon who killed people recently committing crimes again?" the soldier asked.

Xiaorou and the other singing girls pointed at the masked male demon lying on the ground and accused him bitterly: "It's him, sir! It's this fox demon who is doing evil things. But thanks to this young master, otherwise... we wouldn't be able to defeat this demon."

"Now we have caught the criminal red-handed, and the evidence is solid. Those who survived are all witnesses. Sir... Sir, you have to make the decision for us!" said a big-bellied man in panic.

"Don't worry, sir. The fox pill has been taken out of this monster, and it's like a dead person now." Xiaorou explained again.

The officers and soldiers looked at the dying monster on the ground and found someone to capture and drag it away.

"We have indeed caught the criminal red-handed. May I ask which master subdued this murderer? I will report this to my superiors and I will definitely reward you handsomely!" the soldier asked excitedly.

A big-bellied male guest answered, "A very powerful man..." Before he could finish his words, Xiaorou glanced away.

"It was...it was her, the little master, who subdued the fox demon with her own hands!" the man continued.

The leading officer was slightly stunned, looking at the thin nun in the distance with an expression of disbelief: "Are you... sure?"

"The young master has the Buddha's light protecting him and he has great skills, so it's natural for him to subdue the fox demon easily." Xiaorou explained.

The leader still seemed unconvinced and moved closer to ask more questions. When he got closer, he saw a familiar face.

"Shi...Shi Dutou?" The leader opened his eyes wide, thinking of Shi Dutou's abilities in the past, and now he believed it completely.

"Captain Shi, how are you doing recently? The brothers... miss you very much..." The leader looked at Shi Qi respectfully.

Shi Qi shook his head: "Things have changed, please don't call me the governor anymore, sir."

"No way! You have captured a serious criminal today, and your return to the court is just around the corner!"

Shi Qi nodded without comment and pointed at the corpses around him: "Sir, please deal with the business first."

"Yes!"

While people were cleaning up the brothel and the corpses, Shi Qi came to his senses and became much clearer.

She happened to be relaxing, happened to go to a brothel, happened to run into a murderous fox demon, and it happened that Xiang Ling appeared, and it happened again...it turned out that she was the one who caught him.

Isn’t it... just a coincidence?

Could it be that... this fox called her out at the beginning of the day just to help her?

Keeping it secret and not telling her in advance... Tsk.

Well, anyway... he did help her a lot, but the angry words she said today seemed... quite hurtful.

Feeling a little guilty.

Shi Qi shook his head and cursed himself.

What guilt? Did he feel guilty when he locked your throat?

……

In a secluded hut, Liao Zhi saw his friend's eyes fixed on the little nun and couldn't help but make a joke.

"You are amazing, Xiang Ling. You took great pains to bring her to me for a case that could be easily solved, just to let her get a name as a hero? Hiss, this is not your style..."

Xiang Ling retracted her gaze and smiled faintly: "She needs to go back to the court, I just helped her. But... her performance today was beyond my expectation. A woman, seeing this scene, is too calm."

"Liao Zhi, tell me...can I still trust humans?"

Liao Zhi tilted his head and blinked: "Haven't you already begun to believe it in your heart? I only advise you, Xiang Ling, don't be deceived again. That time... I have already hurt you deeply enough."

Xiang Ling lowered her head, took a sip of tea, and nodded.

"But I'm quite happy that I was able to get rid of one of Sui's dogs this time. He will enter the palace to serve as a Taoist priest in a few days. Do you... have a way to enter the palace as well?"

Xiang Ling raised his eyebrows, determined to win: "Of course."

"Well, if he wants to enter the palace and spread cholera throughout the world, only you... can stop him." Liao Zhi said with a sad face.

Xiang Ling, on the other hand, had a blank expression on his face and a slightly cold look in his eyes: "Do you really think he wants to spread cholera throughout the world? I think... he just wants a more legitimate reason to hurt humans."

"Xiang Ling, you said you hate humans, but actually in your heart... you don't want to hurt them, right?" Liao Zhi sighed and looked at his old friend with mixed feelings.

"So what? My hands are already stained with blood."

"Forget it, revenge is for revenge and grievances are for grievances, as long as you are satisfied. Look, I see your young master has cleaned up the scene, you should follow me back, I won't see you off, there is a mess in the brothel waiting for me to clean up."

Xiang Ling did not stay any longer and stood up to thank him: "Thank you for today, goodbye."
