Witch, don't do anything reckless!

Chapter 56 One Has to Die

Chapter 56 One of them has to die.

"So, you actually knew my identity all along, but you've been pretending not to know?!"

Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth and glared at him: "No wonder you've been wary of me from beginning to end?"

Realizing that this guy had seen through her identity long ago, Chu Wanqing felt a sense of shame at being played for a fool.

I was both angry and annoyed.

No wonder this guy was so hostile towards her from beginning to end, even though she never hurt him or his family.

Chu Wanqing grew angrier the more she thought about it.

"We can't afford not to take precautions."

Now that she had seen through him, Li Chuqiu didn't hold back anymore: "You are a demon, and I am a demon hunter. We are enemies."

"If that's the case, then why haven't you arrested me yet?"

Chu Wanqing stared at him and demanded, "Why didn't you report my whereabouts to the Tianxuan Division?!"

Li Chuqiu naturally didn't tell her—that he did indeed have this plan.

However, fearing that this demoness might harm his second uncle and aunt, they did not act rashly. In addition, Deputy Commander Liu had just been seriously injured by the Blood Demon a few days ago and had not yet recovered, so they had not found a suitable opportunity to turn against her.

Therefore, Li Chuqiu's gaze merely swept over Chu Wanqing, without answering.

But Chu Wanqing noticed Li Chuqiu's "ill-intentioned" gaze and clearly misunderstood something. Her face flushed red. Could this guy be... having some kind of idea about her?!

Meanwhile, Feng Taxue, on the other side, saw this young master whispering to Chu Wanqing and was clearly getting anxious.

This young master, could he have been seduced by that vixen?!

"Young master, don't be fooled by this vixen. She definitely can't produce that much gold, silver, and spirit stones, but I'm different—"

Seemingly worried that Li Chuqiu wouldn't believe her, Feng Taxue took a ring off her finger: "This storage ring contains treasures I've collected over the years. I currently lack demonic power and cannot open it. If you're willing to help me, I'll give this storage ring to you—"

Feng Taxue had clearly gone all out, but then, as if remembering something, her gaze lingered on Li Chuqiu's young and handsome face, and her voice suddenly became much more melodious and alluring: "As long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to give you everything. Even if you only want me, I am willing to accompany you—"

Chu Wanqing: "?"

She opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

This guy, Feng Taxue, has no shame at all?

She actually dared to seduce this guy right in front of her?!

As if seeing Chu Wanqing's flushed face, Feng Taxue felt a surge of smugness and looked at Li Chuqiu with even more alluring charm.

This young master is handsome, so it's not a bad thing. Once he helps her get rid of Chu Wanqing and avenge herself, she wouldn't mind playing with him for a while—she'd kill him after she regained her strength.

That wouldn't count as betraying his brother!

Thinking this, Feng Taxue's voice became even more alluring: "Young master, I know all eighteen martial arts, I can do any position~"

"Disgusting, absolutely disgusting!"

Chu Wanqing's face turned red with embarrassment. She really didn't expect that Feng Taxue would be willing to sell her body for revenge.

That's shameless!

Just as she was feeling indignant, she saw Li Chuqiu looking at her with amusement.

It's as if it's saying, "She's already like this, so what about you?"

"Pah! You wish!"

Chu Wanqing said angrily, "I'm not as shameless as her."

"Tsk?"

Seeing the woman blush with embarrassment, Li Chuqiu asked in surprise, "Aren't you fox demons the best at seducing men?"

"Who told you that?"

That's what everyone's saying outside!

"That's all filth!"

Chu Wanqing vehemently denied it, angrily saying, "I would never sell my body—you're dreaming!"

"Yeah!"

Seeing her face full of shame and indignation, Li Chuqiu felt extremely pleased.

She's finally getting her comeuppance, huh?

How did you threaten him before?

You said you were going to torture him to death?

Now, it's his turn!

Li Chuqiu moved even closer, almost touching Chu Wanqing. Chu Wanqing's eyes widened in panic: "What...what do you want to do?!"

Li Chuqiu didn't say anything, but simply reached out a hand and gently pinched her cheek.

It's smooth and delicate, and feels nice to the touch.

A blush visibly rose on Chu Wanqing's face. She was startled and tried to dodge, but Li Chuqiu reached out and grabbed her chin, preventing her from moving.

Exhausted of her demonic power, Chu Wanqing was severely injured and unable to escape Li Chuqiu's grasp. She could only be forced to slightly tilt her alluring face up to meet his gaze.

"Now, who's messing with whom?!"

Li Chuqiu asked.

A strong sense of shame welled up in Chu Wanqing's heart, and her face turned red. She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't move. She could only look at Li Chuqiu with a humiliated expression, pitifully, like a little fox that had been forced.

At that moment, her alluring charm was fully revealed. For a moment, Li Chuqiu's heart trembled slightly.

But the next second, she suddenly realized: "Are you trying to seduce me?"

Chu Wanqing's face showed astonishment and disbelief!

My seductive skills still have no effect on this guy?

Isn't he a pervert?

Why is there no reaction at all?

Chu Wanqing once again began to have deep doubts about her own charm and abilities.

"As expected, it was right to be wary of you."

Realizing that the woman had just tried to mentally attack him again, Li Chuqiu sneered.

Even his most prized seductive illusions were useless against him; Chu Wanqing was truly at a loss now.

He simply gave up and asked, "What exactly do you want?!"

What do you think?

Li Chuqiu forcibly shifted her gaze from her charming face to her chest: "Keeping you as a potential threat, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanqing's heart skipped a beat: "You really want to kill me?"

Then, as if she had nothing to lose, she closed her eyes and said, "If you're going to kill, then kill already!"

However, after waiting for a long time without receiving a response from Li Chuqiu, when she opened her eyes, she found that Li Chuqiu's gaze was still fixed on her—

Where are his eyes looking?

Chu Wanqing instinctively reached out to cover her chest, glaring at him with shame and anger. She realized that this bastard was deliberately humiliating her like this.

"Killing them would be a waste, too much of a waste —"

Li Chuqiu's voice rang out with a hint of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and regret): "By the way, aren't you a fox spirit? Show your true form!"

"Where's your fox tail? Show it to us!"

A blush quickly crept up Chu Wanqing's delicate, fair neck and spread across her cheeks. She practically gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite him.

"Kill me if you want—"

Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth, as if remembering something. She suddenly glanced at Feng Taxue, who was still staring intently at her, and let out a cold laugh.

"You'd better kill her first!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuqiu looked down at her.

Then they heard Chu Wanqing say in a low voice, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Her name is Feng Taxue, and she has a younger brother named Feng Wuhen—"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuqiu's gaze sharpened.

Feng Wuhen's older sister?

"Feng Wuhen died at the hands of your Tianxuan Division. If she finds out, she will definitely not let you off the hook—" Chu Wanqing stared into Li Chuqiu's eyes.

It's as if it's saying—I'm going to tell on you later?

Li Chuqiu laughed, then reached out and pinched her cheek, feeling the smoothness of her fingertips and the Chu Saintess's embarrassed reaction, and said calmly, "It's no use trying to scare me."

"However, you did remind me—it's time to nip it in the bud."

With that, Li Chuqiu released her grip and took a step back.

Turning around, she stood before Feng Taxue. "She doesn't want to sleep with me, but you're willing, aren't you?"

Feng Taxue was taken aback, then quickly nodded: "Of course, as long as you are willing to help me take revenge, I will do anything."

"Any position is fine?"

Feng Taxue blushed and said, "As long as you like it, young master, I can do all eighteen different positions—"

"So it's okay for any occasion, right?"

"—As long as you like it, young master."

"Okay, I agree."

Li Chuqiu readily nodded: "Tell me, how can I help you get revenge?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Taxue was overjoyed, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Hmph, that vixen is still pretending to be reserved.

Her time to die has come!

Feng Taxue looked weak and said, "Young master, I am seriously injured and unable to move. Could you please transfer some of your spiritual energy to me?"

"I've regained some strength and wish to do it myself. After I kill her to avenge my brother, you can do whatever you want with me, young master."

"Of course, no problem."

Li Chuqiu nodded, and seeing the dagger that had fallen to the ground beside her, she picked it up for her: "How did you get so badly injured that you can't even move?"

Feng Taxue gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with ferocious anger, but her voice remained soft and weak: "Last night, I was injured by the guards of Prince Jing's mansion, and then seriously injured by this vixen. I almost lost my life. I am now at my last gasp and have no strength left. Fortunately, you are here, young master, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"I see."

After confirming that she was indeed unable to move, Li Chuqiu felt relieved and her face showed a look of heartache: "Then don't move, I'll transfer some spiritual energy to you."

As she spoke, Li Chuqiu helped her to her feet and brought her behind Feng Taxue. Feng Taxue, unsuspecting, looked up and her gaze fell on Chu Wanqing not far away. At that moment, the smugness and murderous intent in her eyes were no longer concealed.

She glared fiercely at Chu Wanqing, imagining the exhilarating feeling of finally getting her revenge.

For some reason, despite the impending doom, the fox spirit remained calm. Her eyes even seemed to hold a hint of amusement.

What does that mean?

Feng Taxue was stunned for a moment, before she could react—she suddenly felt a sharp weapon emerge from her back.

The next second, the sharp weapon pierced her heart.

Feng Taxue trembled and subconsciously looked down, where a familiar dagger tip appeared at her chest, near her heart.

Her face stiffened, and she turned around in disbelief, meeting Li Chuqiu's calm and unwavering gaze: "Young Master, you—"

She seemed incredulous. Why had this young master suddenly gone back on his word after she had already agreed to sleep with him?!

"Your younger brother's name is Feng Wuhen, right?"

Li Chuqiu looked at her and spoke.

Upon hearing this name, Feng Taxue's pupils constricted sharply: "You, how did you know—"

Li Chuqiu smiled brightly: "Because I killed him."

As she spoke, Li Chuqiu raised her left hand, revealing a familiar storage ring on it.

Feng Taxue glanced at it and shuddered. That was her brother's storage ring, which was originally a pair with hers.

"you----!!"

At this moment, Feng Taxue realized he had been deceived and was furious.

"It was you—you killed my brother, I'm going to kill—"

Before she could finish her angry words, Li Chuqiu abruptly pulled out the dagger that had been plunged into her heart.

Another flash of cold light appeared.

Quick, accurate, and ruthless!

The blade expertly slit her throat, and blood gushed out.

Feng Taxue froze, his eyes widening.

He stared intently at Li Chuqiu, and finally, he collapsed, filled with anger and resentment.

He stopped breathing.

Li Chuqiu delivered two more blows, and only after confirming that the other person was beyond dead did he feel relieved.

Murder must be silenced!

Since the older sister misses her younger brother, Li Chuqiu has an obligation to help them reunite.

Soon, Feng Taxue, lying in a pool of blood, gradually revealed his true form—he was indeed a leopard spirit.

While absorbing the psychic power from Feng Taxue, Li Chuqiu began to loot the corpse.

First, they retrieved the storage ring that had fallen to the ground. It was the same as the one they had taken from Feng Wuhen before, and it was even a couple's item.

There should be a lot of good stuff inside, but Li Chuqiu doesn't have time to get it for the time being.

First, put away all the storage rings and continue the search.

Just like Feng Wuhen, Feng Taxue didn't have many valuable items on him. After searching around, he only found some spirit stones and a few demon clan cultivation techniques, which Li Chuqiu accepted.

Finally, he took the dagger and began to dissect the corpse, removing the leopard demon's core, wiping it clean, and putting it away.

Another inner core of a sixth-realm demon, what a steal!

Not far away, Chu Wanqing watched this scene quietly, her gaze somewhat stunned.

She had always thought that Li Chuqiu was just an ordinary constable of the Tianxuan Division, a little clever and cunning, and not bad at martial arts—but that was all.

After all, he was not a cultivator, so even if he was skilled in martial arts, it would be difficult for him to stand out in the Tianxuan Division.

Although Feng Taxue had lost her demonic power and was in an extremely weak state, she was still a sixth-realm demon, and even her aura could intimidate ordinary people.

But this guy's attack was swift and decisive, without the slightest fear. His technique was extremely skillful; it didn't seem like it was his first time!

It doesn't look like they're killing demons, it looks more like they're slaughtering pigs!

He couldn't have learned it from his second uncle, could he?

Then look at the way he touched the corpse, and the way he dissected it to extract the demon core—it was so smooth!

What is this guy's background?

After a long period of shock, when Chu Wanqing came to her senses, Li Chuqiu, who had finished touching the corpse, had already reappeared in front of her, looking down at her.

"Alright, now it's time to settle our accounts!"

When Chu Wanqing met Li Chuqiu's calm and unwavering gaze, her heart skipped a beat.

—Is this guy serious?

"You... really want to kill me?"

Li Chuqiu didn't speak, but gripped the dagger in his hand tightly and pressed it against her chest, the magnificent spot where her clothes stretched taut and rose and fell with her rapid breathing.

With just a little force, it could pierce through all the fabric, revealing snow-white skin and bright red flesh—and take her life!

—This enchantress is indeed very beautiful, and she is indeed captivating.

However, keeping her around would only be a hidden danger.

If I don't kill her today, she'll definitely kill me later!

No solution!

Li Chuqiu had no choice.

She must die!

As if sensing the chilling killing intent constantly surging in Li Chuqiu's eyes, Chu Wanqing's heart trembled.

"You, you can't kill me—"

At this moment, Chu Wanqing finally felt afraid.

She had always believed that Li Chuqiu had deliberately humiliated and frightened her, as revenge for her previous actions.

Only now did she realize that this guy wasn't joking at all.
