Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 41 The perfect plan

Strange Stone Forest.

Five porcelain demons—blue, white, green, yellow, and purple—are anxiously awaiting Liu Yulin's arrival.

Just now, the porcelain demon Kang Qing's injuries were relieved, and then the five sisters came up with a perfect plan: to leave for a while and then come back after the two demon hunters left.

"Sister, but where can we go? Once we leave Jingdezhen, there are demon hunters everywhere." Xiaobai was very worried. In recent years, Sanqing Palace, Wugong Mountain, Yiyang Pavilion, and other places would send people down the mountain to catch demons every now and then.

Kang Qing was also at a loss, not knowing what to do. She could only hope that Liu Yulin would come back soon.

"Sisters, don't worry. Xiaoqing, you and Third Sister, quickly hide the Porcelain Palace. It's no longer safe here. Let's go to the Vajra Cave and stay there for a while." Kang Qing could only comfort them like this.

Jingang Cave is a place name; it's a dark and damp cave, perfect for all kinds of demons and monsters to live in. It's almost completely isolated from the outside world, and the environment is so harsh that even demon hunters don't want to linger there.

More than a hundred years ago, the five porcelain demon sisters lived in the Vajra Cave for a period of time. It was a place where all sorts of people mingled, and demons and monsters took turns appearing. Kang Qing was almost taken away by the Ghost King of the Vajra Cave.

Later, after Liu Yulin established himself in Jingdezhen, he was able to bring the five sisters out of the Vajra Cave.

"Ah! The Vajra Cave." Third Sister frowned and pouted. "It's dark and damp. I remember there were pig demons and insect demons living inside. There was even a thousand-year-old earthworm inside. Just thinking about it makes me sick."

"Sister, and that Ghost King, who wanted to marry you back then," the fourth sister added.

Having grown accustomed to the vibrant atmosphere of Jingdezhen, the third and fourth sisters clearly had no desire to return to the Jingang Cave.

"Sigh..." Kang Qing sighed deeply, looking at her sisters who were already very tired and disappointed, and said, "Sisters, this is already the best solution. It's better than staying here and being bitten by those two demon hunters."

"That damned demon hunter!" Little White muttered viciously.

whoosh...

A gust of wind blew out, and Liu Yulin landed outside the Porcelain Palace. Her steps were somewhat hurried, as if she were looking for something.

"Sister, sister."

"My sister is back! Waaaaaah!"

Everyone welcomed him with joy, after all, he was their pillar of strength.

Kang Qing frowned as she watched Liu Yulin rummaging through her body, searching for something. She asked, "Sister, what are you looking for?"

Liu Yulin frowned, looking puzzled, and said, "I just caught Shen Anzhi's spirit snake, but where did it go?"

"Ah! Such a good bargaining chip is gone?" Second Sister Xiaobai also joined the search.

Third Sister Xiao Huang also started helping Liu Yulin search through his sleeves. A group of demons couldn't defeat Tang the Demon Catcher, so having this spicy snack would at least give them an extra bargaining chip. Therefore, everyone searched diligently, but they just couldn't find it.

"Oh well, never mind." Liu Yulin said impatiently as she and her sisters entered the stone house next door. "I almost didn't make it back today. If those two demon hunters hadn't had a fight, I wouldn't have seen my sisters today."

Liu Yulin was still shaken when he finished speaking.

Seeing that Liu Yulin was still in shock, Kang Qing asked, "Is it because of that kid from Wugong Mountain?"

"How did you know?" Liu Yulin asked Kang Qing curiously.

Kang Qing shook his head, also puzzled, and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, I feel that he is different from other demon hunters."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yulin slowly realized that it was indeed true.

Seeing that Liu Yulin did not speak, Kang Qing said again, "Sister, I just told the younger sisters that we should go back to the Vajra Cave first. Although it is tough there, it is better than losing our lives here."

This suggestion was made out of desperation. Liu Yulin nodded with a deathly pale face: "This is the only way now. It's not easy being a demon cultivator. Sisters, don't complain about how hard it is. Just being able to live is good enough." These words made the other five sisters feel helpless, and the six of them hugged each other.

"Kang Qing, quickly take your sisters and get ready. You must hide the Porcelain Palace first." After saying that, Liu Yulin showed worry: "I... I still need to go back to the porcelain shop. I still can't let go of Tianfeng."

Kang Qing: "Sister, then let's leave Jingdezhen together tomorrow morning. You should quickly take care of Ding Tianfeng's matter."

Liu Yulin patted Kang Qing on the shoulder: "Little sister, you've worked hard."

And so, Kang Qing led her sisters away from the stone archway and headed toward the faintly visible Porcelain Palace.

After everyone left, Liu Yulin finally felt relieved...

suddenly,

Behind a large rock, a golden light flashed, and through the light, one could see what appeared to be the shadow of a serpent.

Liu Yulin cautiously stepped forward to examine it.

As the golden beam of light made its dazzling entrance, Liu Yulin's expression shifted from relief to utter horror, before he collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with terror, his rapid breathing seemingly suffocating him...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At midnight, the Strange Stone Forest feels like stepping into a fantastical and mysterious world.

Under the moonlight, the stones took on various shapes; some stood out abruptly like giant mushrooms, some resembled ferocious beasts baring their fangs and claws, and others looked like strangely shaped figures silently watching over each other.

The Strange Stone Forest also contains many narrow passages and deep caves, tempting visitors to explore. Entering the caves, a cool breeze blows, and the atmosphere is tranquil and profound, as if concealing countless untold stories.

suddenly,

The sound of horses' hooves approached the Strange Stone Forest. Shen Anzhi and Kui Ran followed the sound and arrived there. In particular, the wine gourd at Kui Ran's waist emitted a faint light, indicating that there was a demonic aura in this area. So they stopped to investigate.

"Quick, look, is this the right way? If anything happens to Snake Baby, I'll never forgive you." Anzhi asked Kui Ran behind him anxiously.

Kui Ran is using the Celestial Phenomenon Pendant to track the location. Because the operation of the Celestial Phenomenon Pendant is affected by the strength of spiritual energy, it can only give a general location. There is demonic energy here, but it is very weak.

"I think so." Kui Ran dismounted, her brows furrowed.

"Snake Baby, Snake Baby!" Shen Anzhi shouted anxiously.

Suddenly, a large rock in the strange stone forest lit up, and then the spirit snake stretched out two tentacles: "Master, Master."

Kui Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they hadn't found the spirit snake, Shen Anzhi would have killed him without hesitation.

"Snake Baby, Snake Baby!" Anzhi quickly dismounted and ran towards the spirit snake, then hugged it in his arms: "You scared me to death."

The snake playfully twirled its antennae: "I'm fine, they won't dare do anything to me."

"I was just telling Kui Ran that if anything happens to you, I'll even destroy their lair." An Zhi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. She really didn't know what she would do if something really happened to the spirit snake.

Kui Ran walked up to her in a daze and glanced at the spirit snake unexpectedly.

The snake seemed very afraid of Kui Ran, and quickly snuggled into An Zhi's arms.

"Tch." Kui Ran glanced around dismissively. The surroundings were silent, with only the occasional sound of the wind and her own footsteps, making one feel even more the antiquity and mystery of this strange stone forest.

Seeing that Kui Ran didn't speak, Shen Anzhi immediately warned, "Kui Ran, if you ever lay a hand on my snake again, I'll chop you up, hmph."

Kui Ran was indeed in the wrong today. Not only did she help Liu Yulin, but she also caused Liu Yulin to capture the spirit snake.
