Chapter 102 A Lucky Girl

Everyone was shocked!

Liu Tiantian collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from her chest, her fate unknown.

At that moment, the monster pounced on the nightingale again!

Tang Wu, being on the rooftop, could only quickly draw her bow and shoot arrows to slow down the monster's speed.

Yang Jing and the Zhang brothers, Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei, were also unable to rush to the rescue in time.

Just as the monster was about to pounce on Nightingale, a figure suddenly flashed out from behind her, a curved silver crescent blade extending from the broken sword in its hand, and with a "whoosh," it pierced directly into the monster's heart!

As the demon blurred and lunged at them, Luo Qingfeng, enduring the pain, had already positioned himself behind Nightingale. After Liu Tiantian was swiftly and severely injured by the demon, the blade in his hand was now fully charged with power!

"laugh--"

The blade slicing through the air produced a piercing whistling sound.

Although the monster had lost its mind, it instinctively sensed the danger and immediately roared, swinging out a claw to grab the sharp blade aimed at its heart!

At the same time, its other claw suddenly lengthened and continued to stab at the nightingale's heart!

Nightingale leaped backward and swung her sword.

"Zheng—"

The clash between the blade and the claws produced a deafening metallic clang.

The two forces collided violently and exploded outwards, the surging air waves like waves in a raging storm, instantly sending Luo Qingfeng and Nightingale flying.

"Bang!"

The monster's skeletal feet landed heavily on the ground.

The entire ground shook!

Luo Qingfeng and Nightingale flew several meters away and crashed heavily into the wall behind them before coming to a stop.

The two fell to the ground, immediately feeling their blood churning and their vision going black. They both felt a sweet taste in their throats and spat out a mouthful of blood.

One of the monster's claws had been pierced, and it was sizzling as it rapidly devoured and corroded its entire hand.

But by then, it was too late to cut off the claw.

Because Tang Wu's arrows, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as they rubbed against the air, were continuously aimed at his heart, throat, and head!

At the same time, Yang Jing and the Zhang brothers, Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei, also raised their weapons and slashed at him.

Upon seeing Liu Tiantian lying in a pool of blood, the group erupted in their most furious attacks!

"puff!"

The monster dodged Yang Jing's powerful sword strike, but was pierced through the throat by Tang Wu's sharp arrow! The arrow exploded instantly, turning its entire neck into a bloody mess!

It seemed to feel no pain, and roared as it pounced on Yang Jing.

Yang Jing swung his sword again, but it grabbed the blade and pulled hard, snatching the sword away!

"roar--"

The monster immediately opened its blood-red maw and roared at him.

A terrifying sonic wave swept in!

Yang Jing felt dizzy, his movements faltered, and he stood frozen in place for a brief moment.

Just as the monster was about to pounce, Tang Wu suddenly fired three arrows at once, all aimed at the monster's heart!

The combined blade of the Zhang brothers, Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei, also struck its head!

The monster paused, then grabbed at the three arrows. Suddenly, its right claw exploded with a loud "bang," sending flesh flying and falling to the ground.

At this moment, Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei's blades, each over ten feet long, had already slashed down on the demon's head!

The demon roared and raised its other claw, actually grabbing the blade of light and preventing it from slashing down any further!

Blood gushed from the monster's head.

Its entire face became even more ferocious and terrifying, its whole body shrouded in black mist. With a forceful grab, the blade light that Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei unleashed was instantly shattered!

But at that moment, Tang Wu's arrow shot out again, and with a "thud," it pierced through the demon's right ear and instantly went through its entire head!

"Bang!"

The arrow exploded, turning into a burst of light.

The monster's entire head exploded open, sending its flesh, bones, and other contents flying everywhere.

But it still stood firmly!

It let out a hoarse roar, and only half of its head remained. Its eyes, nose, and ears were gone, leaving only half of its gaping maw, trembling terribly.

"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this—"

It roared and pounced wildly in all directions!

But at this moment, it had lost its sight and claws, and could no longer find the location of those demon hunters.

"call out!"

As Tang Wu fired her last arrow, two streaks of blood suddenly appeared on her face. Then, with a "poof," she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her legs went weak, and she almost fell off the roof.

It turned out that her spiritual energy had already been completely exhausted.

The arrow pierced the monster's heart without it dodging!

It seemed to feel no pain at all, continuing to roar and frantically attack in all directions.

Yang Jing and the Zhang brothers, Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei, were both exhausted. Seeing how frenzied and terrifying it was, they dared not go forward to confront it head-on.

Nightingale quickly went over, picked up Liu Tiantian, and retreated to a corner in the distance.

"I did nothing wrong! I did nothing wrong—"

The monster was covered in blood and gore, roaring and staggering as it ran and pounced around.

The arrow that pierced its heart has exploded.

A terrible bloody hole appeared in its chest, and its entire body was riddled with holes.

But the hatred and anger in its heart made it still desperately roar and run with the last bit of its life force.

"Second Brother..."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.

Miss Dong, dressed in plain clothes, sat quietly in a wheelchair by the door, her beautiful but pale face covered in tears.

Upon hearing the sound, the monster shuddered and stopped in its tracks. Then, with blood gushing from its body, it walked towards her step by step.

Suddenly, with a "bang," it tripped over the steps and fell to the ground.

But it still raised its bloodied neck, slashed its two broken arms full of white bones, and with half a head and a broken body, crawled step by step up the steps toward the doorway from which the sound came.

A hoarse, whimpering tremor escaped its throat: "Second...Second Sister..."

Its ferocity and bloodlust gradually faded away.

It let out a whimpering sound, like the mournful cry of an animal, which grew fainter and fainter.

It finally climbed the steps, and a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared in its chest. Then, the black mist hissed and disappeared.

Its broken and terrifying body remained frozen in place, then quickly returned to its original form.

However, he lay there, and then there was no more movement.

But that pale face was covered in red tears of blood...

The girl in the wheelchair sitting by the door couldn't help but sob.

Standing behind her, Dong Miaomiao also had her head down, so her expression was not visible.

The entire courtyard fell into a brief silence.

At that moment, a ray of dawn pierced the darkness and fell upon the courtyard, dispelling the gloom.

Finally, the demon was eliminated.

However, at this moment, none of these demon hunters were happy.

Tang Wu jumped off the roof and came to Liu Tiantian's side. She squatted down, took out a pill, and put it into Liu's mouth. She then took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it on Liu's wound. She then picked Liu up and said, "I'll take her back to the Demon Suppression Academy first. There are elders there with the supernatural power of 'repair' who can see if they can save her. You rest here for now. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he quickly left.

Yang Jing, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Bei were all panting heavily, sitting on the ground with pale faces.

There was no one else in the courtyard.

The ladies and maids in the mansion had already left, surrounded by guards, and were hiding in the distance.

Even though the danger had passed, no one dared to come over anytime soon.

Luo Qingfeng helped Nightingale lean against the corner of the wall and silently bandaged the deep, bone-revealing wound on her arm.

Nightingale's gaze was fixed on the corpse of Young Master Dong on the ground, her expression dazed.

"Do you think there are other demons in this mansion?"

Luo Qingfeng paused, looked up, and glanced at the girl at the door.

The girl's gaze also fell upon him.

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "I think there shouldn't be any more."

The nightingale sighed softly and said, "The devil is truly terrifying. It can exploit any resentment we humans harbor, then lure us into an abyss... In truth, those people are all pitiful..."

Luo Qingfeng helped her tie the bandages and asked, "Do you regret becoming a demon slayer?"

Nightingale shook her head and said, "It's just that every time I learn about how these people turned into demons, I feel a little sad and sentimental."

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Sister Nightingale, do you think there's a way to expel the demon from a human body while keeping the person possessed alive?"

Yang Jing, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up: "Of course there are. Many cultivators with high cultivation levels, or those who have cultivated special techniques, should be able to do it. However, there are very few such people, and there are demons everywhere in the world, so it's impossible to expel them all."

Zhang Bei also spoke up, "Moreover, even if the demon inside that person is expelled, that person is still a murderer. If the knot in their heart cannot be untied, they may still become a demon in the end."

At this moment, Dong Miaomiao also spoke up: "So, what's so good about being human? If I had a choice, I would be a demon. Demons are born strong, and their bloodline can resist the invasion of ordinary demons, unlike us humans, who are pitifully weak."

No one else spoke.

No one dares to talk about demons casually, and besides, what this third young lady said is true.

At this moment, Duke Ningguo, Dong Mingchen, entered with his guards.

Looking at the corpse on the steps, Dong Mingchen stood frozen at the doorway, his pale face filled with complex emotions.

Dong Miaomiao glanced at him and asked, "Father, who was it that beat Second Brother? Was it you, or a servant?"

Dong Mingchen's face was grim, and he remained silent.

Dong Miaomiao paused for a moment, then asked, "Also, am I not your biological daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Mingchen's expression changed, and he immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Dong Miaomiao said, "But I don't look like you or my mother at all. It's Dong Xiaopang who looks like you."

Dong Mingchen immediately raised his hand and angrily shouted, "Keep talking nonsense!"

Dong Miaomiao, however, remained completely unfazed, tilting her head back and saying, "Go ahead and hit me! If you dare to hit me, I'll run away from home right now and never come back! My master wouldn't let me come back, saying I was a genius and wanted me to focus on cultivation on the mountain. I only came back because I was afraid of upsetting you. If you dare to hit me, you'll never see me again!"

Dong Mingchen's hands trembled, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Miss Dong wiped away her tears and said softly, "Miaomiao, push me back."

"Oh……"

Dong Miaomiao snorted and pushed her wheelchair out the door.

As she was leaving, she suddenly turned back to Luo Qingfeng and said, "Sir, you can't leave. Last night in my boudoir, you touched my things and promised me."

Upon hearing this, Dong Mingchen's expression changed immediately, and he looked at the young scholar in front of him with shock and anger.

Nightingale and the others were also stunned.

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "I only went to inquire about the case. I didn't touch anything on you. Don't talk nonsense!"

Dong Miaomiao said, "How could I not have touched it? You were sitting on my couch, and your hand kept touching the blanket on my couch. That's the blanket I sleep under. Humph! Anyway, you promised me that if you dare to leave, I'll go to your Demon Suppression Academy and make a scene, saying that you started this relationship and then abandoned me, bullying a weak woman!"

After saying that, without waiting for his rebuttal, she pushed Miss Dong away.

Luo Qingfeng opened his mouth, but seeing the Duke of Ningguo's gloomy eyes, he had no choice but to explain again: "I did go to the Third Miss's room last night, but only to inquire about the Second Young Master and the First Madam. The Third Miss told me to sit on the couch before she told me. I sat down on the couch without moving, and my hand was unconsciously on the quilt. I didn't deliberately touch it..."

The nightingale suddenly spoke up, "Why go out in the dead of night?"

This is also the question that the Duke of Ningguo wants to ask.

Luo Qingfeng said, "Last night, after I left the banquet at Fourth Madam's place, I sensed something was wrong with Second Young Master, so I went out to investigate after I got back. On the way, I met Third Miss, who asked me to go to her room and tell me those secrets. I went because of the case. However, I only stayed there for a short while before leaving. I swear, I did not do anything indecent to Third Miss."

The nightingale snorted, seemingly disbelieving.

At this moment, Yang Jing suddenly asked, "Ah Feng, why are you so clear about the Second Young Master's actions? Have you been following him? But, given your cultivation level and his strength, it seems unlikely."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "I have cultivated a technique that allows me to conceal my presence, but it doesn't last long."

It's actually the spirit leaving the body.

That evening, he left his body for the first time to investigate, and happened to see the Fourth Madam leaving with Nightingale, and also happened to see the Second Young Master following behind.

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to say more, Yang Jing, though curious, did not press further, and said, "Ah Feng, we relied on you this time; you deserve the most credit. If it weren't for you, we might have had to arrest the head steward."

Zhang Bei also spoke up, "If A-Feng hadn't said it, I would never have imagined it would be the Second Young Master..."

"Alas... what a misfortune for our family, what a misfortune for our family..."

Duke Ningguo, Dong Mingchen, sighed, as if he had suddenly aged considerably.

He then ordered his servants and guards to collect the body and clean the courtyard.

Seeing this, Luo Qingfeng and the others didn't dare to discuss it any further, got up and took their leave.

However, the group cannot leave the mansion for the time being.

Captain Tang Wu is coming over again, and she wants the Duke of Ningguo to write a handwritten explanation to ensure that the case is completely resolved.

Luo Qingfeng took Nightingale and temporarily returned to the Green Bamboo Garden.

As they reached the door, Nightingale turned to look at him and said, "The reward this time should be quite generous. You deserve the most for your hard work. You can then rent a small courtyard and hire two maids yourself. What do you say?"

Looking at her expression, Luo Qingfeng felt that this might be a life-or-death question.

He shook his head and said, "I won't bring the two maids. They can stay here and be taken care of by the Ningguo Mansion. I'll rent a small courtyard outside and live with Sister Nightingale. It'll be so nice to have some alone time."

Nightingale blushed instantly and spat at him, "Shameless! Who agreed to live with you? Who agreed to have a romantic getaway with you? I have a younger sister and grandmother at home, don't even think about it!"

Seeing the smile on her lips, Luo Qingfeng felt relieved and said, "Then I'll think about it first."

The nightingale chuckled and said, "I wouldn't even dare to think about it!"

The two entered the courtyard.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei immediately came out to greet them, bowing their heads in greeting and calling out in their clear voices, "Young Master, Sister Nightingale."

Looking at the two well-behaved and adorable little girls in front of her, and hearing them sweetly call her "sister," Nightingale's heart suddenly softened. She couldn't help but sigh and glare at someone next to her.

"Hmph, he's really lucky with women!"

She couldn't help but glance at the two little girls' well-developed chests and muttered something under her breath.

"Boil some water, we need to take a bath."

Luo Qingfeng gave the instructions.

The two maids immediately agreed and went into the kitchen.

Nightingale immediately glared at him and said, "Who wants to bathe here? What do you want?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her strangely and said, "You're covered in blood and sweat, what's wrong with taking a bath? Did Sister Nightingale think I wanted to bathe with you?"

Nightingale blushed instantly, and just as she was about to explain, she heard him ask, "Can we shower together?"

"Eat one of my legs first!"

Nightingale swung her long leg, sweeping it towards his waist.

"Snapped!"

Luo Qingfeng grabbed her, then lifted her by the ankle, turned her around, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and walked into the house.

"Ah! Let go!"

The nightingale was suddenly forced to stand on one leg, swinging her long leg behind him, hopping around comically.

"Damn it! Let go of me!"

Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei were peeking from the kitchen and couldn't help but chuckle.
