The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 958 Su Xuanbing's Discovery
"Demon?" Zhao Chen frowned. The word had a simple meaning, but he really didn't know what it meant.

After all, there was no such content in the memories obtained from Heras.

Also... why is Xuanbing so excited? Did she find out some "gossip" at the Night Church's Extraordinary stronghold?

“Yes, ‘Demon’! That’s the name of a certain extraordinary pathway sequence 6. Its previous stage was called ‘Serial Killer’.” Su Xuanbing recalled the information she had seen and added, “‘Night Watchers’… Oh, that’s the name of the official extraordinary organization of the Church of the Night. The information they have about ‘Demon’ actually comes from the ‘Hero Detective’ we visited before.”

"Your initial direction of investigation was correct, but unfortunately the detective isn't in the capital."

In other words, the heroic detective was very familiar with the "demon" and had even determined that the serial killer was a "demon," but he chose to ignore it.

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes and said to Su Xuanbing, "Don't rush. Tell me everything that happened from the beginning, starting with tracking that female night watchwoman."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuanbing was about to organize her thoughts when she suddenly stopped. Her cheeks inexplicably flushed, and after hesitating for a while, she finally spoke: "Explaining it this way is too inefficient. It would be better to... better to enter a 'dual cultivation' state and communicate in each other's inner worlds. That would be more direct."

"Tsk, she's really gotten into it, huh? She's even taking the initiative to invite people over now?" Zhao Chen was taken aback at first, then looked at the young lady of the Su family in front of him with amusement.

Only then did I realize that she wasn't wearing the fashionable "hunting outfit" I had given her before, nor was she draped in a bed sheet. Instead, she was wearing a semi-transparent nightgown that I had bought sometime earlier.

It wasn't that Zhao Chen was slow to react, but rather that Su Xuanbing had been covering herself with her divine sense, interfering with Zhao Chen's vision, and was only now fully releasing it.

This technique of using divine sense doesn't consume much energy and its effect is mediocre; in fact, it's easy to see through with just a little concentration. But Zhao Chen isn't a real "pervert," so why would he deliberately use his divine sense to scan a girl's body? Besides, it's not like he hasn't seen it before...

"Looks like you were prepared!" Zhao Chen smiled and gladly accepted the "invitation." He bent down, hooked Su Xiaowei's legs, picked her up, and carried her to the space he had separated with an "array".

—With their combined strength, without the reinforcement and isolation of an array, if they lose control in their excitement, this apartment building might not be able to withstand it and would collapse instantly.

The nightgown Su Xuanbing bought was quite loose and short. When she was lifted up in Zhao Chen's arms, her waist and hips sank down, and her legs were bent and resting on Zhao Chen's arms. Naturally, the nightgown slipped open, and her legs weren't quite together...

Seeing this, Zhao Chen was speechless. After entering the array's range, he sat down on the double bed and placed her on his lap, teasingly saying:
"How come you're so bold today? Who taught you this?"

Su Xuanbing was actually a little flustered as it was her first time actively seducing a man, but upon hearing his question, she suddenly perked up and said with a smile, "Let me tell you, after I followed the Night Watchers to their base, I happened to witness them conducting internal training for some of their new members, demonstrating some of the techniques used by extraordinary individuals with the 'Witch' pathway..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Chen interrupted her, saying, "Didn't you say that verbal communication is inefficient? In that case, let's not waste our breath. Let's just practice 'dual cultivation' and open up parts of each other's 'inner worlds'. I can 'see' it myself then."

Unable to share the gossip she had heard, Su Xuanbing gave Zhao Chen a "resentful" look, but quickly composed herself—she was also looking forward to "dual cultivation" again.

After all, although Zhao Chen has not yet achieved "supernatural powers", his accumulation in "law and reason" far surpasses that of himself and is very comprehensive. Su Xuanbing even felt that if she cultivated with him a few more times, she might be able to cross the second ladder a few years earlier.

So, the "Mysterious Ice and Fire Lotus" quickly cleared her mind of distractions and began to circulate the "dual cultivation technique" that Zhao Chen had given her yesterday, waiting for the "connection".

……

Lolota is a Night Watcher of the Church of the Goddess of Night, a Sequence 8 "Gravedigger," and also a sharpshooter. She has three great loves: coffee, desserts, and maids. Whenever she is troubled or injured, she goes to a coffee shop to eat desserts and flirt with the maids to soothe her pain... whether it is physical or emotional.

—The victim of the 10th serial murder case was a maid, a maid she quite liked.

After having coffee and admiring the maid, Lolota temporarily soothed her heartache and returned to work. She took the last subway to the North District and entered a security company called "Black River".

This company is the base of the Night Watchers squad of the Church of the Night.

As soon as she entered, she saw a beautiful woman dressed in matte black mourning clothes sitting on the sofa, so she went up to greet her and said, "Good evening, Ms. Cherry... Where are Borgia and the others?"

As the woman named Cherry rose to return the greeting, she said, "Mr. Borgia is giving the newlyweds a 'lesson'."

Lolota raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Class? Hopefully those little ones won't be scared."

Borgia recently advanced to Sequence 7 and became "Nightmare," and his teaching style is anything but "gentle."

After chatting with Cherry for a few minutes, Lolota didn't go to observe Borgia's "Dream Classroom." Instead, she went down the stairs into the underground area and entered a room that resembled a library.

At that moment, a woman dressed in a black hooded robe, with blue eyeshadow and blush, exuding an eerie and cold beauty, came into Lolota's view.

Upon seeing this person, her expression turned serious, and she quickly greeted her, "Ms. Dai Li."

This woman used to seem quite bitter and resentful, but recently she seems to have recovered somewhat, yet she has become even more unpredictable.

The woman named Dai Li smiled slightly and chuckled, saying, "Why are you more nervous than those innocent men before they finally get to sleep with their sweethearts when you see me?"

"Relax, I won't treat you like those corpses."

Lolota swallowed hard and said with an awkward smile, "Madam, I'm here to look up information about 'demons'."

“I knew you’d come to investigate…” Daly gestured with her chin to a shelf near the door and said, “The information ‘Hero Detective’ gave me is all there. Just go and get it yourself.”

"Heh, I wonder what headquarters is doing. They haven't sent over the sealed 'demon' related information for so long... This feeling of 'foreplay' without getting to the point is really unpleasant!"

Lolota, who was already used to Daly's speaking style, ignored the other's "metaphor" and picked up the information to look it up herself.

Su Xuanbing, whose "divine sense" was still attached to her, had her eyes shining and found it very interesting, wishing she could hear more.

She felt that her previous judgment was correct; if the Night Watcher was like this, then this Goddess of the Night was definitely not some legitimate deity!
