When she met those eyes, the girl felt an inexplicable fear, as if the person standing in front of her was not a human, but some kind of monster more terrifying than a demon.

“What you just said was true,” Bai Qian continued without waiting for the third young lady's reply.

"I'll just take it as true for now."

How many do you want to keep?

"Leave...a few?" The girl murmured Bai Qian's words, a hint of confusion in her voice, unsure of Bai Qian's meaning.

"If you don't answer, that will be taken as a yes." Bai Qian walked past her and headed towards the main hall.

Let's leave none of them alive.

Volume 1: 25. Jump into the frying pan, and I won't hold it against you.

"They've arrived." Lai Shui bowed and spoke respectfully and softly to the fox demon sitting next to him.

“I know.” The fox demon narrowed its beastly eyes slightly, looking at the open door.

At this moment, the Lai family members standing in the hall were also whispering among themselves.

Pei Huan, who was standing nearby, heard it clearly.

It wasn't sympathy or fear, but rather schadenfreude and anticipation.

If Pei Huan wasn't mistaken, the Lai family members standing here were probably all involved in colluding with demons.

The Lai family has probably become a den of iniquity for demons and monsters. Although it's not uncommon for people to associate with demons and monsters in this world, the Lai family seems to have gone a bit too far.

It seems they're just short of taking their whole family to join those monsters.

So, how should he slip away next? If Pei Huan wasn't mistaken, the Lai family probably had an enemy coming to their door, which was why they found a demon to keep order.

But with such a show of force, would their enemies still dare to come over?

It must be some kind of demon.

Thinking this, Pei Huan glanced at the doorway, pondering how to slip away later, when she heard crisp footsteps.

The footsteps were very light and slow, like someone taking a walk.

But Pei Huan heard it very clearly, and even felt that it was somewhat familiar.

In the sunlight outside the lobby, a figure dressed in white, carrying a stick, slowly walked over.

Pei Huan was taken aback by her petite figure.

It's impossible not to know him; he was my savior last night, but we've encountered each other under these circumstances.

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Huan gave up the idea of ​​catching up with this old friend.

This is no place for chatting. If I'm here, I'll just be a hindrance. If the Lai family knew about my relationship with this person, they might take me hostage.

Although this person doesn't seem like they'd take care of themselves.

Bai Qian slowly walked into the lobby. She wasn't in a hurry, and even admired the gardens along the way, knowing she might not see them again.

She came in carrying a stick.

His gaze swept across the lobby.

I saw Pei Huan in the crowd; I vaguely remembered her.

But after thinking about it for a moment, I couldn't figure out who this person was.

I don't remember; I guess it was a passerby I met on the street.

After glancing at the oil pot placed in the center of the hall, Bai Qian then looked at the most crucial thing in the hall at that moment.

That is, the fox demon sitting in the chair.

It saw Bai Qian looking over, but did not make a move.

However, his face didn't seem as calm as he appeared.

Those beastly eyes stared at Bai Qian, as if trying to make flowers bloom on her face.

"Its face is quite handsome, though." It stood up, its pointed fox face radiating coldness.

"Is Zhang Wu's death related to you?"

Bai Qian, who was examining the oil cauldron, turned her gaze back to it upon hearing the fox demon's question.

He tilted his head in confusion.

How did it figure that out?

"Yes, I killed him." He admitted it quite frankly.

The fox demon quietly watched Bai Qian.

"Very well, you killed Zhang Wu, and you killed Lai Xian too. Are you trying to make trouble for us?"

"If you want to die, you can say so sooner rather than later, and we'll definitely be willing to send you off," it said with a forced smile.

"I've come to see you."

"Since you've jumped into this oil cauldron willingly, I won't hold it against you," the fox demon said.

"I'll say the same to you," Bai Qian said without blinking.

The fox demon looked at Bai Qian and snorted coldly.

I don't want to say anything more to ignorant people.

Her appearance is quite beautiful. If I had met her before I transformed, I might have taken her appearance and used it as my own. But now that I'm almost finished transforming, there's no use for her appearance anymore.

If she were sensible enough to jump into the oil pan, although she would suffer the pain of being fried and boiled, it would be far less painful than the pain of being caught in her own hands.

Lift your fingers.

The fox demon was very confident in her methods.

The fox demons of Xihong Mountain are far superior to these peasant monsters outside; they have a powerful background.

They even have a lineage, and although they ended up here for some reason, their methods are still far superior to those of ordinary peasant monsters.

The fox demon had no idea where the person opposite her got their confidence from.

But what it was certain of was that the person on the other end would definitely regret provoking it.

Whether human or demon, all beings have six thieves: ears, throat, nose, tongue, body, and mind.

This is their channel for understanding the world, and its legacy influences these six thieves.

The idea of ​​thieves was put forward by those Taoist priests, since all human desires are caused by these six things, and all delusions are thieves, thus hindering those Taoist priests from attaining enlightenment.

Their method at Xihongshan was to influence these six thieves; if they weren't thieves to begin with, they could simply turn them into thieves.

If the seven emotions and six desires are the strings of a musical instrument, then the methods of manipulating these six thieves are the fingers that pluck those strings.

The fox demon was very confident. It had never failed when it used this method. Among all the fox demons in Xihong Mountain, apart from its ancestor, no fox was more proficient in this method than it.

With just a flick of the finger, whether human or demon, they are as if their souls have been scattered, allowing the user to manipulate them at will.

This is no exception now...

The fox demon was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bai Qian opposite her.

Looking into those questioning black eyes.

Those eyes were as clear and bright as a deep pool, without a trace of filth.

Not to mention being mentally manipulated.

The fox demon glanced at Bai Qian suspiciously, sensing the demonic energy flowing through its meridians.

It should be fine.

There's no way this girl can withstand it; even a martial artist with the Qi Refining Realm might not be able to stop it... let alone a girl who hasn't even come of age yet.

Let alone humans, even demons, after more than ten years of cultivation, probably wouldn't be able to even enter the realm, let alone reach the point where they can resist my magic.

Useless.

In fact, it was right in front of the fox demon.

Those dark eyes remained completely still throughout.

The fox demon's heart sank.

"That's all?" Bai Qian asked in confusion.

She waited there for a long time, hoping to see something, but nothing changed at all.

She'd heard that fox spirits could transform, and she was waiting to see what this fox demon could conjure up.

The fireball rat that charged with flames had surprised Bai Qian before.

"Never mind." Bai Qian gently shook her head.

She gently lifted the stick.

"Then it's my turn." It was a light sentence, but it felt like it weighed a ton.

The fox demon watched as the stick slowly rose and fell towards it.

A deep, thunderous drumbeat resounded in the hall.

The ground cracked inch by inch, and the fox demon's body crashed into the wall like a meteor.

Walls collapse.

Bai Qian held the stick, making no further move.

The fox demon didn't die. Most of its body was smashed by Bai Qian's stick, leaving only an arm and a leg barely able to lie on the ground. The remaining half of its body was a bloody mess, and its beastly eyes, looking at Bai Qian, were filled with a complex mix of fear and hatred.

"What was that line again?" Bai Qian thought for a moment.

“Since you’ve voluntarily jumped into this frying pan, I won’t hold it against you,” she said earnestly.

Volume 1: Chapter 26, Dream

Not a sound came from the lobby.

Or rather, no one dared to speak out at this time.

In fact, they had no way to deal with either the fox demon or Bai Qian standing at the door.

Bai Qian blinked slightly as she watched the fox demon slowly stand up against the wall.

Bai Qian was somewhat disappointed by the fox demon's performance.

She wasn't very familiar with the system of these demons, but based on some stories she had read in her previous life and her own deductions, these half-human demons might be more powerful than normal demons.

Wasn't that the same situation as the rat demon I encountered before?

The first rat demon we encountered was just a bit bigger, but the one that could flame from head to toe was already very close to human form.

The same principle applies to this fox demon.

It looks like a human, but its hair and features make it seem inhuman.

Bai Qian gave the fox demon a chance simply to test its abilities. For now, it doesn't matter, but if things continue like this, they will definitely encounter more and more demons.

Whether it's for current needs or for future plans, it's still necessary to understand the characteristics of these demons.

To be honest, it's quite durable; even after I hit it with a stick, only half of its body was broken.

Bai Qian originally planned to smash its entire body to pieces with one blow.

The fox demon ignored Bai Qian.

It wasn't that it ignored Bai Qian; when Bai Qian put it into the oil pot, you could see that its movement of getting up paused for two seconds.

I won't mention the people around me who have hidden away in fear.

Bai Qian could sense the fox demon's impotent rage at that moment.

Bai Qian yawned softly, picked up her stick, and, too lazy to say anything more, was about to give the person opposite her another blow to end the fight.

An inexplicable aura slowly rose in Bai Qian's perception.

It emanated from the fox demon, and its aura was somewhat similar to its own, yet not entirely the same.
