"Master." Hearing that Daddy was captured by the monster, Xing Ruyi's anxious tears were about to fall. She stared at the fox, but the fox conjured up a sword in the void and aimed it directly at the young man who was about to leave.

"Since we were captured by youkai, then ask youkai to take us to find it."

"You say I'm a youkai, do you have proof?"

The young man seemed to be smiling, and there was an indescribable sense of familiarity on that smiling face, as if he had seen it somewhere.

But where have you seen it?

Xing Ruyi couldn't think of it, she just forgot about Daddy being captured by a monster for a while, and then let her brain quickly accept the fact that the young man in front of her was also a monster.

"Master, is he a monster?"

Xing Ruyi approached the boy, trying to find out what was similar to the monster on his body, but his shoulder was buckled by a fox.

"Don't go over, his claws are very sharp."

"You're really kidding, where are my hands sharp?"

The young man raised his hand and aimed it at Xing Ruyi. Seeing this, the fox directly raised his sword and slashed down at his hand. The boy grinned, and those hands really turned into cat's paws.

"Call me a monster, aren't you a monster yourself?" The young man stretched out the cat's tongue and licked it on his paws: "Master? I didn't think of using this trick. Also, I won the trust of this little girl, and it was not a matter of minutes to kill her. Say, where are you? Maybe we can work together. ”

"Necrose, there's no chance to work with me."

"Oh, I really like this character. Are you sure you can kill me, though? ”

"You can try."

"Just try it." The cat demon twisted his head, stretched out his claws, and pounced on the fox.

The fox didn't move, but just pulled a sword flower and blocked the cat demon's claws.

"Shout, it's pretty good, then try this again." The cat demon had red eyes and let out a breath towards the fox. The fox grabbed Xing Ruyi and took half a step back, and when the breath hit his face, he realized that the cat demon's breath was not aimed at him, but at Xing Ruyi, who was protected by him.

If it was Xing Ruyi before, he didn't need to worry. At that time, she had her own ghost magic to protect her body, and this ordinary demonic aura couldn't help her at all. But now, she is just a mortal mortal with a physical body, and the demonic qi enters the body, which can damage her body at least and kill her at worst.

"Looks like you know my intentions, yes, I just sprayed her. I don't know what kind of demon you are, but I can tell that you are indeed better than me. But no matter how powerful she is, she is your weakness, she is a mortal, as long as you protect her, you can't ignore me. ”

"Really?" The fox backhanded Xing Ruyi in his arms, a white light flashed, and Xing Ruyi disappeared. "Now, can I kill you?"

"What about the little girl? Where did you get her? ”

"You don't need to know." The fox said, raising his sword, and the powerful spiritual power leaked out, making the cat demon feel the danger. He stared at the fox guardedly, ready to flee at any moment. Unfortunately, before he could use his demonic power, the blade fell, and he turned into a dead cat lying on the ground.

"Cat demons have nine lives, so ......"

"Don't hurt my cat!" Behind her, the grandmother in black clothes and black pants moved, she walked down from the altar with her waist bent, and looked at the fox with drooping eyelids: "Spare my cat, I can give you your things." ”

"What do I want?"

"The soul of the person surnamed Xing is with me, I can spit it out, but you have to spare my cat."

The fox stretched out his hand.

Grandma hesitated, opened her mouth, and spat out a small transparent ball.

The fox stretched out his hand to hold it and asked, "What about people?" ”

"In the Rulai Inn in Fengcheng, if you can catch up, you should be able to save him."

"You are not a demon, nor are you a ghost, why did you fall into the demon path willingly?"

"Why?" Grandma shook her head and smiled: "Of course it's for revenge!" ”

"Revenge?"

"The way I look now is not terrible and ugly. But I used to be beautiful, even the most beautiful, noble, and kindest woman in this maple city. My name is Ah Su, I am the daughter of the Tong family in Fengcheng, and my father is the richest person in Fengcheng, so since I was a child, I have gotten the best. When I was 16 years old, my father decided to choose a husband for me, but I fell in love with the poor boy of the Wei family, and then I married him regardless of the life and death.

In the first year of marriage, he treated me very well, took me as the main thing in everything, and loved me very much. In the second year of marriage, he continued to do so. Even his father and aunt, who originally looked down on him, began to be kind to him. In the third year after marriage, he went to the capital under the recommendation of his father, took the top prize, and returned to his hometown in brocade, and for a while, I became the most glorious woman in the entire Fengcheng.

When he won the top prize, I was 19 years old, and at the urging of my father and aunt, I wanted a child that belonged to me and him. I was lucky enough to get pregnant soon. I conceived in October and gave birth in one day, and as a result, I was greeted not with the joy of becoming a father for the first time, but with the disgust in his eyes. Later, I learned that on the night I gave birth to my child, he arrested my father and aunt on trumped-up charges, extorted confessions from them in prison, and confiscated all the property of our Tong family.

Ignoring my pleas, he drove me to the firewood room with the child who had just landed. My child is starving to death. I hate him, I hate him so much, I want to kill him, but I'm a weak woman, how can I kill him. What makes me even more resentful is that while my child is starving to death, he is having fun in the house with his new concubine in his arms. Crazy overnight, crazy overnight, I never regretted my decision at the time. ”

"You killed him."

"It's just him. I first dragged his beloved concubine, who happened to be pregnant, to him, and in front of him, I cut open the concubine's belly with my hands, took out the newly formed fetus, and forced him to swallow it. I slaughtered all his relatives in front of him, and then twisted off their heads one by one and set up a small mountain in the courtyard. He was afraid of me, begged me, said that he loved me, and said that the reason why he treated me so much was because he had low self-esteem, and only when the Tong family no longer existed, could he treat me well again. Look at a man's mouth, how insincere it is. I couldn't believe his mouth, so I dug out his heart. The bright red heart is not black. After he died, I was discouraged, as if I had exhausted all my mental strength, and then when I woke up again, I became like this. ”

"Since you have already taken revenge, why did you harm those innocent people in Maple City?"

"Because I don't want to die." Grandma had a grim look on her face: "After killing that man, I went back to the house where we got married and lay down." I thought that I would also die, and when I died, I would go to my father and mother, and find my child. I want to tell them that I was wrong, that I should not have listened to them, and that I had killed them.

I slept for a long, long time, but I was woken up by the flood. I sat on the bed, looked at the room full of water, and thought for a long time before I remembered who I was. A big eight climbed up, and I sat on its back, and it carried me to the city. There were people shouting for help everywhere, and I picked up a child. Can you believe it? At that time, I didn't think about anything, I didn't think about saving people, I didn't think about killing people, I just fished one and another person came up. When it was dark, I found that I had reached a small bridge, and Wang Ba glared at me with purring eyes and said to me that if I wanted to live, I had to eat the children. ”

"It must have something else going on."

"Yes, it's also a demon, but it hasn't cultivated yet, so it can't move around in the mortal world. It needs me to help it find more people and absorb more souls. I have a relationship of mutual cooperation and mutual utilization. ”

"You're in the dark, I can't keep you."

"I don't want to live anymore." Grandma glanced at the cat under the fox: "Mortals want to live forever by themselves, but only when they are really immortal can they know how hard and torturous it is to live forever." Without family, without friends, without even joy, I don't know what the meaning of my life is. But I can't die, I can't kill myself, and no one can kill me. At first, I wanted to stay in this grandmother's shrine in peace, but those people always came to bother me, they would tell me all kinds of troubles, and some young women, like me, were betrayed and abandoned by their husbands, and then asked me to help them avenge them. I helped, but they called me a monster and a big devil, and they planned to suppress me and kill me. You say, it's as hard to be a demon as it is to be a human. ”

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"Spare my cat, just this once. If it falls into your hands in the future, whether it lives or dies depends on its own life. Grandma closed her eyes: "Let's do it, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." ”

"Do you know the demon that is in turmoil in Maple City?"

"I don't know, I haven't walked out of this grandmother's shrine for a long time." Grandma said, opening her eyes: "I forgot to tell you that it was not a person who put me here in the first place, he is the same as you, with strong mana and profound spiritual power, but people can't see his true appearance." However, he often pretended to be a Taoist priest and did harmful things under the guise of saving people. The king in the water is his mount. ”

"I see, you can go."

"Clean, I don't want to be a demon anymore, but I don't want to be a person again." At the same time as Grandma closed her eyes, she also turned into a pile of black shards and disappeared.

As if sensing Grandma's departure, the dead cat, which was lying horizontally, opened its eyes and meowed at the table.
