Slaying demons and eliminating evil, a martial saint among mortals.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe gently rubbed her cheek with her fingers, as if she were seriously considering Qin Lie's words.

After a while, she nodded.

"That seems to make sense."

After she finished speaking, she moved her foot off Lang Feng and took a half step back to the side.

"Then you ask."

Qin Lie felt somewhat uncomfortable looking at her like this.

In her normal state, Xu Qinghe is indifferent and quiet, and speaks in a very measured manner.

But now, with her eyes red, Xu Qinghe seems like a completely different person.

She could be described as alluring, yet at times she also possessed a strange innocence.

Calling her naive is an overstatement; after beating Lang Feng to a pulp, she's anything but naive.

Qin Lie didn't have time to think too much.

He is injured, and although he has just enhanced his physical strength and the bleeding has stopped, the pain is still there. He needs to deal with the immediate situation as soon as possible.

Qin Lie used the Demon-Suppressing Blade to support his body and slowly walked up to Lang Feng.

Wolf Wind lay on the ground, spitting blood from his mouth. When he saw Qin Lie approaching, he bared his teeth at Qin Lie again.

Qin Lie frowned, but before he could speak, Xu Qinghe suddenly raised her hand and slapped Lang Feng hard across the face.

Wolf Wind's face was already half-collapsed, and with this slap, two of his teeth flew out of his mouth.

Xu Qinghe shook her hand, her red eyes curving slightly.

"Just answer whatever I ask you. If you dare show your teeth again, I'll break them all!"

As she spoke, she waved her little fist.

Qin Lie looked at her action and suddenly found it quite cute.

But he quickly glanced at the half-dead wolf wind on the ground.

Come on, the word "cute" doesn't quite fit the current Xu Qinghe at all.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to Shiqiao Village? Why did you choose this place of all places?"

Wolf Wind grinned, his voice hoarse.

"You can't kill me."

Qin Lie followed Xu Qinghe's example and slapped Lang Feng.

"Just answer my questions. I'm asking you what you're doing here!"

Wolf Wind stared intently at Qin Lie.

"My godfather is the Wolf King of Wolf Fang Mountain, a mid-stage Demon Soldier."

"If converted to your human cultivation level, it would be roughly equivalent to the fifth rank."

"Moreover, he has dozens of demons under his command. If you dare to kill me, my godfather will definitely avenge me."

"At that time, not only will you two little bastards be wiped out, but the entire Shiqiao Village will be slaughtered by him."

As he spoke, a hint of ferocity appeared in Lang Feng's eyes, as if mentioning his godfather had emboldened him.

Qin Lie did not speak immediately after hearing this.

Instead, he raised the Demon-Suppressing Blade and aimed it at Lang Feng's neck.

Wolf Wind's eyes widened suddenly.

"You dare! My godfather won't let you get away with this..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Qin Lie's Demon-Suppressing Blade had already fallen.

A flash of light!

Wolf Wind's head rolled to the side, spraying black blood all over the ground.

The next moment, a notification popped up in front of Qin Lie's eyes.

[Slay a wolf demon at the peak of the Lesser Demon Realm]

[Gain 10 attribute points]

They were so generous, giving me 10 points all at once.

But we should thank Xu Qinghe a lot!

If it weren't for Xu Qinghe, let alone attribute points, it's questionable whether he could even save his life.

"What are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to question him? Why did you kill him?"

"You wouldn't let me kill you just now, but you were quick to do it yourself."

Xu Qinghe stood to the side, her big eyes filled with doubt.

Qin Lie pulled the Demon-Suppressing Blade from the ground and shook off the blood.

"Didn't we already find out? It's in Langya Mountain."

Xu Qinghe paused for a moment, then nodded in sudden realization.

"That does seem to be true."

Qin Lie felt somewhat helpless looking at her like this.

Xu Qinghe doesn't seem to be thinking very well when she has red eyes.

Moreover, her focus is different from that of normal people. If it were the usual aloof Xu Qinghe, she would have realized it long ago.

"By the way, Clerk Xu, do you have anything on you that can temporarily capture the soul of a demon?"

"Calling me Clerk Xu is too formal. Just call me Qinghe."

"You even know about this kind of thing?"

Xu Qinghe walked directly in front of Qin Lie and looked up at him.

The two faced each other, their noses almost touching.

Qin Lie felt a little embarrassed and turned to look at the wolf wind on the ground.

"Lord Lu mentioned it in the booklet he gave me before."

"The souls of demons do not immediately dissipate after death. If they are contained using special magical artifacts, they can be used for interrogation or to confirm their identity."

"Yes, I do, but what do you need it for?"

Qin Lie kicked Lang Feng's corpse.

"Didn't this guy just threaten me with his godfather? I hate being threatened the most."

"First, collect his soul. Later, we'll kill the wolf chieftain of Wolf Fang Mountain and then lock their souls together."

"Then tell that wolf chieftain that it was his good son who showed us the way."

"The scene of a loving father and filial son will surely be a beautiful sight."

After listening, Xu Qinghe blinked, then clapped her hands and laughed.

"That's a great idea, I like it."

After saying that, he opened the booklet in his hand.

Qin Lie then realized that the booklet was not made of ordinary paper at all.

The paper inside had faint black lines, making it look unusual.

Xu Qinghe held the booklet and pointed it at Lang Feng's corpse.

With a light tap of his finger on the page, a faint wisp of black mist appeared above Wolf Wind's corpse.

The black mist seemed to struggle, but as soon as it emerged, it was immediately sucked into the booklet.

The booklet was closed, and everything returned to calm.

Qin Lie looked at the booklet in Xu Qinghe's hand, his eyes slightly warming. It really was a good thing.

I wonder when I'll be able to own something as good as this.

Xu Qinghe put the booklet back into her bosom, then turned to look at Qin Lie.

"Alright, let's go, we still have to..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Qinghe's smile suddenly froze.

The redness in her eyes gradually faded.

The next second, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Qin Lie reacted quickly and reached out to catch her.

When Xu Qinghe fell into his arms, her body was extremely weak and her face was somewhat pale.

Those eyes, which were so alluring just moments ago, are now tightly closed.

Qin Lie was completely stunned. He was fine just a moment ago, how could he suddenly faint!

"Clerk Xu?"

no respond.

"Qinghe?"

Still no response.

Qin Lie had a general idea in his mind.

The woman's red eyes were already a problem, and now she's probably suffering the consequences.

Qin Lie reached out and touched her carotid artery; it wasn't beating at all.

isn't it?

Side effects are understandable, but they shouldn't be this severe.

My heart stopped beating!

Qin Lie quickly put Xu Qinghe down on flat ground and then reached out to pinch her shoulder.

Xu Qinghe still didn't react.

This really worried Qin Lie, as he didn't know anything about first aid in this world.

In this situation, he only remembers one CPR!

Although I don't know if it will work, I can only try it as a last resort.

"Clerk Xu, I apologize."
