I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 138 Fire Pig
Meng Qi looked at Dongfang Shuo in surprise. She had never mentioned the Meng family to him, so he didn't believe the rumors circulating outside that she and her mother had taken special pills.

Tsk, being too shrewd isn't good either, it's annoying!

Meng Qi rolled her eyes at him.

"You brat, what kind of look is that?" Dongfang Shuo said speechlessly. "You have at least two of the five elements, isn't it normal that I can think of that? Or do you really have some kind of magic pill that allows you to implant two elements into your dantian without any backlash?"

"Alright, alright, you're smart, you're amazing, okay? But so what if you remembered Meng Kaijie's name? He saw me make a move today, he'll definitely tell his family. But I'm not afraid. My mom said that since things have come to this, the Meng family will eventually find out that we are descendants of our ancestor Meng Chi. After all, now the Meng family has more than just my mom and me, my brother and Ziyang, and Pidan. Once the three of them are known in the cultivation circle, the rumors about my mother and me taking medicine will be dispelled, and then everyone will probably know that we are related to the Meng family."

After finishing her sentence, Meng Qi sneered, "We're not afraid of the Meng family, we're afraid of them. If we all go our separate ways and things are peaceful, fine, but if they want to cause trouble, hmph."

Dongfang Shuo patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll definitely help you if anything happens. You know, I don't even give a damn about the Dongfang family, so what's the Meng family?"

What are you two talking about?

After finishing her call, Wei Xiaole walked over and immediately noticed that the ice block that had sealed the red-haired demon had left a dent under Meng Qi's buttocks, which had been melted by her sitting on it.

After a moment of silence, Wei Xiaole reminded her, "Xiao Qi, check if your pants are wet?"

"Huh? No, it's fine."

Meng Qi glanced down, not noticing anything amiss. In the sweltering summer heat, sitting on ice was incredibly comfortable.

Helpless, Wei Xiaole had no choice but to lift her up. "Touch your bottom. Ah Shuo, should we put another ice talisman on you? It's all melted here."

After saying that, he added, "Captain Xia checked the information and said that this kind of monster is called a Fire Pig. As the name suggests, it is a pig that can breathe fire. It belongs to a type of pig demon, but it is more advanced than a typical pig demon because they can talk soon after they are born. They love to eat, are good at imitating, are rather lazy, and have heads as hard as iron. They use fire to attack and their heads to defend themselves. Their strength among demons is average, not particularly powerful."

Since the emergence of monsters, the government has been researching them for over a decade, thoroughly examining ancient texts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas to mythical beasts, regardless of their authenticity. Their aim is to be able to recognize monsters at a glance, avoiding unpredictable encounters.

Dongfang Shuo clicked his tongue, "It's pretty average. We didn't even have to lift a finger; Xiao Qi took care of it all by herself."

Of course, the main reason is also because this thing is too clunky.

Thinking about this, the three of them were very puzzled. So how did Dongfang Yin and the other four manage to kill one of them with a fire boar and chase the other four all over the forest?
Are all the geniuses in these cultivation circles like this?
Even though Dongfang Shuo had been in this circle since childhood, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Team Leader Xia has already set off with his men, but it will take them half a day to arrive. Why don't you two stay here and keep watch, and I'll go to the nearest restaurant to buy some food and bring it over?"

Wei Xiaole knew that Meng Qi was a picky eater. Although they brought a lot of snacks in the car, how could those things be a meal?
Before Meng Qi and Dongfang Shuo could nod, Wei Xiaole's phone rang.

"Team Leader Xia?"

"You just said you encountered a few people in the Azure Forest. Who were they?"

Wei Xiaole took the notebook that Dongfang Shuo had just written down and read out the names of the four people one by one.

"Another one died? Are you sure?"

"Yes, we saw it when we came over."

"Have Ashu set up an array to conceal your location. If someone breaks the array, don't act rashly. Try to stall until I arrive." Wei Xiaole frowned upon hearing this. "Captain Xia, do you mean someone will come to steal the fire pig?"

"That kid was killed by the Fire Pig. His family definitely won't let it go. You have to understand that many people in that circle are arrogant and self-willed. If they are bullied by a powerful family, they have no choice but to suffer the consequences. But now you've caught the demon who killed him. The most crucial thing is that you don't belong to the Northwest Province, let alone Sangzhou City. They are very likely to use this to force you to hand over the Fire Pig, because there is a human life at stake, and they think it's worth the exchange."

Change?
Wei Xiaole laughed in exasperation, "That person died before we arrived, what does that have to do with our demon-catching?"

"It doesn't matter, but they probably won't explain it to you. So from now on, the three of you need to be careful, don't wander around, and stay together."

Xia Yunsong's meaning was clear: to prevent some people from resorting to desperate measures, thinking that since there were only three of them, they would rather fight than not take the demon away.

Don't expect everyone to follow the law and rules. There will always be a group of people who like to dance on the edge of a knife in order to achieve their own goals.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Xiaole immediately instructed Dongfang Shuo to set up an array around the area to conceal their location.

In addition, a maze-like maze was set up at the two entrances to the dense forest.

It was half an hour later when they finished, and Mengqi's pants were completely dry, especially the area around her bottom.

She took out a straw mat from her storage ring, along with a box of braised beef, a box of cold noodles, a box of Sichuan-style spicy chicken, a box of roasted chicken wings, and a stack of scallion pancakes.

Dongfang Shuo and Wei Xiaole were dumbfounded. "When...when did you prepare this?"

"My nephew made this for me early this morning. I was planning to save it for the Grand Canyon, but there's no food available now, so I'll eat it first."

The three of them were starving. Although they had eaten a few snacks while they were busy, how could those things be a meal?
They wolfed it down, and in no time they had devoured most of it.

To prevent the ice from melting, Dongfang Shuo would keep an eye on the fire pig out of the corner of his eye while eating it. He then noticed that the ice around the fire pig's mouth, which was frozen shut, was melting at a sudden faster rate.

"I rely on!"

Dongfang Shuo was puzzled. He took a roasted chicken wing, munched on it, and leaned over to take a look. A minute later, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"What's wrong?" Meng Qi also came over with a roasted chicken wing.

Dongfang Shuo pointed to the corner of the fire pig's mouth, "Look here, is it its saliva or the water from my melted ice?"

Meng Qi could also tell that the fire pig was drooling.

She kindly held the roasted chicken wings in her hand to the pig's nose, "Here, even if you can't eat them, you can still smell them. Don't they smell good?"

After finishing the chicken wings, she sandwiched a few pieces of braised beef in a scallion pancake and let it smell them. After smelling them, she continued eating.

The fire pig's saliva flowed even more fiercely, and soon the ice at the corner of its mouth became extremely thin, about to completely melt and reveal its mouth.

Dongfang Shuo then slapped another ice talisman onto it, saying, "It's so hot, you should stay inside and stay cool."

The second update is here!
