I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 88 Cat Demon
Sanqingshan may seem peaceful on the surface, but no one can say for sure what will happen next.

Zhang Jinwu has been stationed here for eleven years. During those eleven years, he has never slackened for a moment. He patrols the mountain seven or eight times a day.

After the baby dragon hatched, Xiao Qi would happily run up the mountain every day. Although he continued his patrols, he unconsciously relaxed a lot.

Even so, people still need to be stationed at the foot of the mountain.

Just like the rabbit demon and rat demon that suddenly appeared a while ago, who knows what would have happened if it weren't for Xiao Qi.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Lin Qingquan here when he went to the capital to report on his work.

"Are you planning to bring Xiao Qi along to Luo Cheng?"

Meng Shulan didn't care. Anyway, she was in Qingshui Town, and she had to go to Sanqing Mountain three times a day to deliver food to Xiaolong, and then meditate and cultivate here.

Even when not in seclusion, Qingge will be there too.

She is currently wondering about the secret passage with its eighteen bends and is investigating what it is.

So if there really is something unusual happening at Sanqing Mountain, even if she can't do it, how could Qingge not do it?
That afternoon, Lin Qingquan drove a military jeep and left Qingshui Town with Xiao Qi.

His prosthetic leg can now do almost anything except hold a sword, including driving.

Luocheng is located west of Qingzhou, about 150 kilometers away.

Xiao Qi took out a demon-revealing mirror on the road. This thing can only reflect things within a radius of a hundred miles. It can't reflect things beyond that distance.

There is also a drawback, which she only learned about from her master recently.

This broken mirror actually needs spirit crystals to maintain it.

She did have spirit crystals in her storage ring, quite a lot of them, which her master said were from her fifth senior brother's previous robbery.

Regardless of how it came about or how much it exists, since this world doesn't have such a thing, using spirit crystals to nurture it is like eating away at a mountain of resources. Every little bit used is less, and once it's all used up, the mirror will be completely useless.

Xiaoqi was a little annoyed. Why wasn't it rechargeable?
"Get to work," Xiao Qi said, patting the mirror without any hesitation. "Are there any demons around?"

Instead of a demon appearing immediately on the smooth, clear mirror, two eyes appeared, gazing at Xiao Qi with a sinister look.

Xiao Qi remained silent and just stared at it.

The child and the mirror stared at each other for a long time. In the end, the mirror was defeated, its eyes disappeared, and the mirror surface flickered twice, revealing a picture.

"Hmm? A kitten?"

Xiao Qi sat in the back seat. Lin Qingquan glanced at his daughter through the rearview mirror. There was a service area ahead, so he turned the steering wheel and drove in.

Finding a parking spot nearby, Lin Qingquan turned around and took the demon-revealing mirror from his daughter. He stared blankly at the black and white kitten reflected in the mirror, "Is this a demon?"

It looks just like a regular kitten here; I really can't tell it's a cat demon.

Xiao Qi leaned over and rested her head on the seat, then tapped the mirror with her hand. "Are you trying to fool me?"

Two eyes, rolling their whites, flashed on the mirror and then disappeared immediately. Then the scene changed. The kitten, which had been crouching, first stood up and took two steps, then opened its mouth as if to make a sound.

Then a little girl, about eleven or twelve years old, came up to it, squatted down in front of the kitten with a joyful expression, and reached out to pet its head. The kitten seemed obedient and let her pet it.

The scene of a girl and a cat, which was originally harmonious and warm, was suddenly interrupted by a flash of red light in the cat's eyes. It suddenly pounced and bit the girl's neck hard.

Lin Qingquan and Meng Qi were stunned.

But the two reacted quickly; Xiao Qi urged Jingzi repeatedly, "Where is she? Where is she? Hurry up!"

The screen shrinks, getting smaller and smaller, gradually revealing the surrounding buildings and their names.

Lin Qingquan looked up abruptly and saw the large characters outside the service area hall ahead: Kongfang Service Area.

The words were exactly the same as those reflected in the mirror.

The incident occurred in a corner behind the service area.

"Walk."

After Lin Qingquan finished speaking, he pulled out the car key, picked up his new sword from the passenger seat, and quickly got out of the car with Xiao Qi. The father and daughter bypassed the service area lobby and headed straight for the southeast corner according to the location shown in the mirror.

The cat demon seemed surprised to be discovered so quickly. It first used the red light in its eyes to bewitch the girl, rendering her unable to move. Then it bit her neck and sucked several mouthfuls of blood before releasing her and licking the bloodstains from its lips with satisfaction.

Children's blood tastes better.

Just as it was about to pounce again and continue, not wanting to waste the blood flowing from the little girl's neck, and was about to drink it all in one gulp, a shadow suddenly flashed before its eyes, followed by a sword light whistling down from above.

The cat demon nimbly rolled to the side, and with a soft "plop," a deep gash appeared where it had been standing.

The little girl, who was half-squatting on the ground, was grabbed by the back of her neck and thrown behind her.

Because of this action, the enchantment was dispelled, the little girl woke up, her unfocused eyes gradually cleared, and then she cried out "Ah!" and fell to the ground.

She first looked at the kitten in fear, then at the tall figure confronting it in front of her. In her daze, she heard the sound of footsteps, and then a pretty little girl who looked only six or seven years old, wearing a baseball cap, ran over quickly.

She ran up to her and stopped, turned to look at her, and reminded her, "Sister, your neck is bleeding. Go out and find your family to bandage it."

Only after being reminded by her little sister did the little girl seem to realize the pain in her neck, as well as the sticky feeling coming from her collar.

She gasped softly, quickly raised her hand to press her neck, and stood up from the ground.

But instead of leaving, she stared at the cat and asked, "Is this cat a demon?"

The memory of having her skin pierced by sharp teeth and having them bite her neck and gulp down her blood still lingers, along with the fear of being powerless to struggle and facing death, all of which terrify the little girl.

Even so, she didn't leave. She just took a few steps back and watched as the uncle who had saved her raised his sword at the cat again.

Although Lin Qingquan's swordsmanship was fast, the cat's eerie movements were even more agile. After several rounds, he had only managed to shave off a few cat furs; he hadn't even drawn blood, let alone caused any serious injury.

But it was even more difficult for the cat demon to hurt him; it didn't even give it a chance to use its magic.

Realizing this, the cat demon decided to make a hasty retreat. With a leap, it landed on a poplar tree five meters away. Then, without looking back, it tried to jump to another tree and escape.

Just then, as it was about to leap off the tree trunk with its four claws, branches suddenly came crashing down on it, some even forming a net that instantly covered and bound it tightly!
Good night!
