Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies Chapter 225 51: Turbulent Undercurrents, Intimidating the Cr

The woman's eyes flashed with a strange light as she looked at the cat curled up on her body.

"The fifth young Master, forgive for a mont while I lock up the cat in the room," the woman said apologetically to Zhou Xintong.

"As you wish, sister-in-law."

The young woman stood up gracefully, bowed slightly, and returned to her boudoir with her maid.

The maid opened the door, and the woman quickly entered.

Once inside, the young woman turned her head, pink light flickering in her eyes, and coldly instructed, "Stand guard outside. Do not let anyone co in."

The maid lifted her head, and pink light also appeared in her eyes as if she were a puppet, "Yes, Goddess."

Creak.

The door closed again.

"Why seek at this mont?"

The woman's cold voice echoed in the room.

The white cat in her arms sprang to the ground, speaking human words in a panic, "Sothing's wrong, Xiao Hei has been killed."

"What happened?"

"A month ago, Xiao Hei ate a dispatch officer from the Guardian Martial Departnt. We thought it was no issue, but just monts ago, the Guardian Martial Departnt sohow found Xiao Hei."

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" the young woman said, "Xiao Hei was born with nine lives, not easy to kill."

"I saw clearly, all nine of Xiao Hei's lives are gone. When they left, I counted, there were nine Xiao Heis."

The young woman was silent for a mont, then said, "Recently, you should stay out of trouble. If you want to eat blood food, just tell , and I'll have the Zhou Family provide you with so servants."

"I understand, Goddess," the white cat raised its head and asked, "Goddess, what about Xiao Hei's matter?"

"What do you an, what do we do?"

"Should we avenge him?"

"That's human clan's custom, but we demons don't adhere to that. Right now, we should focus on the opportunity appearing in Yongzhou soon. I have a premonition, it won't be long. This ti the Spirit chanism eruption might be even more intense, possibly as strong as the one in Yun ng County."

"Ah, really?"

"Don't provoke the Guardian Martial Departnt anymore, and keep your mouth shut to prevent leaks. Dealing with the Ji Family is already enough for us. Anything else?"

"No more."

"If there's nothing, stay in the room today. I'll send soone over tonight, and we'll eat together."

"Great. I want a tender child."

"Understood."

The young woman turned calmly and opened the door with a casual wave of her right hand, and walked back into the courtyard.

Gazing at Zhou Xintong's overflowing Essence Qi, the young woman couldn't help licking her lips.

"If it weren't for the agreent with your patriarch, I'd love to drain you dry. Alas, for now, I can only look."

She displayed a helpless look of disappointnt, once again smiling and approaching.

...

Guardian Martial Departnt, the quiet room.

Zheng Yuanqiu inquired, "How are things in Taiping County?"

The fifth officer's dispatch officer, Xu Changle, stood up and said, "The Ji Family has failed multiple castle attacks, and the Commander and his n have held the line."

"That's good. What are the True Master's next instructions? Do we need to take Yongzhou?"

The fifth officer's dispatch officer, Xu Changle, said, "The True Master instructed not to rush Yongzhou, but there's another matter that requires our attention."

"What is it?"

"The True Master observed the celestial phenona at night and sensed a new Spirit chanism might arrive in Yongzhou."

"A new Spirit chanism?" Zheng Yuanqiu responded with rare seriousness, "I understand. I'll make arrangents."

"Okay. We'll exchange notes when the ti cos."

"Mm."

At that mont, Xu Changle recalled sothing and said, "You previously told the fourth officer's dispatch to investigate the demon matter within a month, there are two days left now, what do you plan to do?"

Zheng Yuanqiu replied indifferently, "Of course, as per the old rule, grinding down to the bone, this ti it's not just their silver I want."

Xu Changle curiously asked, "What else do you want?"

"Heh, I want their concubines," Zheng Yuanqiu shalessly said, "You don't know, those won have a unique taste."

"Be mindful of the limits," Xu Changle glanced at him and said, "Two officers from the fourth group ca to , and seeing they brought quite a bit of Silver Tael, I plan to take them into my group. Just letting you know in advance."

"Do as you see fit."

With that, he didn't wait for Zheng Yuanqiu's response and silently left the quiet room.

Outside, having just left and before taking a couple of steps, he encountered Shen Qing, who was reporting back.

The two exchanged glances, each averting their gaze as they passed by each other.

Shen Qing's eyebrow arched.

He knew the fifth group's defense area was peaceful recently, why did Xu Changle co?

The dead fat man in the room, they couldn't avoid enough.

No clues.

Shen Qing thought no more, adjusted his appearance, and approached the quiet room's door, respectfully saying, "Subordinate Shen Qing seeks an audience with the Lord Chief Officer."

"What is it?" Zheng Yuanqiu's voice ca from inside the room.

"It's about the killing of Xi Chasi by the demon," Shen Qing continued, "Sir, fortunately, I did not fail you. I've slain the demon and reported back to you, Lord Chief Officer."

Zheng Yuanqiu, lounging on a chair in the quiet room, hearing yet again 'fortunately did not fail,' instantly jumped from the table.

He walked to the door, stared at Shen Qing, suppressing his voice, "What did you say?"

Shen Qing raised his head, eting Zheng Yuanqiu's gaze, and replied, neither servile nor overbearing, "My lord, the demon that killed Xi Chasi has been apprehended."

A shadow ca over Zheng Yuanqiu's face, feeling the silver and won he was to receive vanished into thin air, and an unprovoked anger arose, he asked irritably, "Where's the demon's body, take to see it."

Shen Qing calmly stepped aside, saying, "This way, my lord."

Holding back dissatisfaction, Zheng Yuanqiu followed Shen Qing to the courtyard.

They saw nine corpses of cat demons, as big as mastiffs, piled together, appearing as though they had been dead for so ti, with dark red blood and fur matted together.

The stench was overwhelming.

Faced with indisputable evidence, Zheng Yuanqiu was montarily speechless.

Other officers, including those from the fourth group, arrived in the courtyard one after another upon hearing the news.

When they saw the pile of demon bodies stacked like a hill, they gasped and were too shocked to speak.

Especially those officers who had already arranged an escape route, regretted their choices deeply.

They never thought Shen Qing would actually slay the demon within the deadline.

With this, the fourth group of the Guardian Martial Departnt was secure.

The effort spent on preparing an exit strategy and overpaying Silver Taels was in vain.

Worse, they were at a loss whether they proceeded or not.

Glaring at Shen Qing, they silently cursed, "Damn, that Shen bastard."
