Chapter 68 The Strongest Attack

"Yingying, the girls on the boat all say you are a fairy fox, why do you say you are a demon? In this world, are there really demons like you who can heal and save people?"

Guanjiang, Red Building, ninth floor.

The fog on the river surface has not yet dissipated, in an inconspicuous room.

A girl in red, about sixteen or fifteen years old, as delicate and beautiful as a porcelain doll, was wearing her long hair and carefully drawing her eyebrows in front of a bronze mirror.

She was drawing her eyebrows while talking to herself.

It's like having a conversation with something in the mirror.

"Yingying, if it weren't for you, I and the sisters on the boat would have already become dried bones in the river."

"You said you eat people..."

"But if they eat people, they are demons. The biggest demons in this world should be the sons of noble families and officials of the imperial court."

"This Baihua County is so prosperous, but this prosperity only belongs to a small number of people after all."

"These people are the real demons. They all deserve to die."

The girl who was drawing her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror was none other than Li Hongxiu, who had caused a sensation in the Red Mansion that day by dancing on the drum.

She just kept talking.

The originally cold voice gradually gained a hint of hatred.

Because there was fog on the river, an oil lamp was lit in the room.

The oil lamp swayed gently with the river water, bringing a ray of light and illuminating the mirror in front of the eyes.

The copper mirror has a slight curve.

The reflection inside was slightly distorted.

But it was clear that the face in the mirror was not Li Hongxiu's beautiful and delicate face.

Instead, it was a fiery red fox face covered with fine hair.

The elongated fox face has human-like eyes and nose. The combination of the two gives people an extremely weird and scary feeling.

But Li Hongxiu didn't find it strange.

She put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand, with a soft light in her eyes, and reached out to gently touch the bronze mirror.

The fiery red fox inside seemed to be able to feel Li Hongxiu's slender fingers. It rubbed its face gently on the girl's fingertips, making a "嘤嘤" sound.

Feeling the gentle touch from her fingertips, Li Hongxiu inexplicably felt at ease.

There was also a gentle smile on the cold face.

She recalled what happened in the Red Mansion two years ago, when the Red Mansion was passing by Lianshan City upstream of Guanjiang River.

The performance started as usual, but something unexpected happened.

At that time, Li Hongxiu had not yet become famous, she was just an ordinary dancer in the Red Mansion.

The son of the county lieutenant of Lianshan City ordered Li Hongxiu to keep him company overnight.

In the Red Mansion, an elder sister who had a very good relationship with her took the initiative to recommend herself to take over, and the young man nodded in agreement.

But at night...

However, screams were heard from the young master's room.

When everyone broke open the locked door, all they saw was Cuixiang's bloody body.

It turns out that this young man named Zhao is inhumane and therefore has a strange personality.

What he likes most is torturing young and beautiful women.

In order to avoid bringing harm to other sisters, Cuixiang endured the torture and remained silent.

It was not until the end, when the man threatened to kill her, that she screamed.

But it's too late.

By the time everyone pushed open the door, Master Zhao had already stabbed Cuixiang's lower body with his sword, killing her.

Cuixiang has a gentle personality and is a very nice person.

Li Hongxiu still remembers that when she first arrived in Lianshan City, Cuixiang held her in her arms and pointed to the fields on the shore and said.

Mung beans are ripe in this season.

When the time comes, I will buy some honey and make mung bean cakes to share with the sisters in the Red Mansion.

Although the Red Mansion was a place of prostitution, the sisters inside were as close as sisters in heaven. The dancers and musicians rushed forward and surrounded Master Zhao.

Li Hongxiu still remembers that she stabbed the man's cheek with her golden hairpin, leaving a long narrow scar. The blood tasted delicious.

It’s a pity that the stab wound didn’t hit the neck.

Young Master Zhao was not angry. He just looked at her deeply and turned away.

In just a quarter of an hour, the county soldiers surrounded the Red Building, killing people and setting fire to it, and the screams of prostitutes and musicians were endless.

“Hahaha!” In the firelight, Master Zhao laughed wildly, “This kind of dance is absolutely wonderful!”

He came to him again.

To this day, Li Hongxiu can no longer remember what happened at that time.

Even Young Master Zhao's face was blurred, but she remembered his short and ugly figure, which became so tall against the backdrop of power and fire. She remembered the despair at that time, the screams and wails from her sisters, and the pain of the flames licking her skin.

still remember……

An elegant red fox slowly walked out from the flames.

"Yingying, after we finish things here, we will go to Lianshan City." Li Hongxiu's eyes were sparkling with watery light.

She hugged the bronze mirror in her arms, and the girl's beautiful white cheeks pressed tightly against the mirror. "When the time comes, we will go to the fields to pick mung beans, and then go to the cliff to collect honey. Sister Cuixiang said that the wild honey on the cliff is the sweetest and most delicious. Let's make the best mung bean cakes and share them with the sisters, okay?"

The red fox in the mirror did not answer, but frowned in a very human way, as if it was thinking.

Li Hongxiu put down the bronze mirror in her arms and also noticed this.

"Did something unexpected happen?" she whispered, turning to look out the window.

I couldn't see anything clearly. Everything outside was hazy and the fog seemed to have formed a substance, like catkins floating in the air.

Li Hongxiu's face stiffened slightly, and she sensed something was wrong.

Although today's weather is not very good and there was fog on the river in the morning, such heavy fog is very abnormal.

and……

You can't hear the noisy laughter of the sisters who get up early and practice their exercises or talk.

Alone, as if abandoned by the whole world.

"Fortunately, Yingying is still here." Li Hongxiu stroked her chest with her bare hands and felt a stuffy sensation there.

She lowered her head and saw the red fox in the mirror with a serious expression.

You can even see a hint of trembling and fear.

"You said that two ghost shadows disappeared inexplicably, and something was approaching us." Li Hongxiu looked panicked and subconsciously tensed her body.

She continued to ask, but the red fox stopped answering.

Because even the demon's perception could not penetrate the fog that enveloped the entire Red Building.

boom!
The ground suddenly shook.

In the fog, something huge, heavy, and indescribable is approaching.

Li Hongxiu's heart also trembled violently along with the floor, and the blood color on her face gradually disappeared and turned pale.

In the mirror.

The red fox became increasingly agitated, baring its teeth and its fur puffing up.

boom! boom! boom!
The frequency of the ground shaking became more and more rapid, and the dull sound echoed in the red building, coming from all directions.

Li Hongxiu stood up and tightly grasped the gold hairpin on the dressing table, the blue veins on the back of her hand were visible.

Her pupils contracted and she stared at the door and windows in front of her.

The footsteps suddenly stopped.

There was a terrible silence, and then there was a crisp snap. Not from the door or window, but from above!
Li Hongxiu suddenly looked up, her face turned pale, and she almost screamed.

A huge human face with a cold and fierce expression chiseled through the wall and appeared above the window, near the ceiling.

The wood blocks collapsed and fell, making a noise.

It was dark outside the window.

It was the monster's strong and broad chest, like a high dark wall, completely blocking the entire window.

Li Hongxiu was so frightened that she almost forgot to breathe and her whole body was shaking.

The face in the window swayed slightly, his eyes looked around, and finally lowered his head to look at Li Hongxiu.

The corners of his mouth moved, and a toothy smile with sticky saliva appeared on the man's cold and ruthless face, "Little devil, so you are hiding here."
