I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 208 A Perfect Match

Because of what?
"Did the Demon Queen send a demon to escort him?"

Lu Xiaowu nodded, "Very likely. In addition, I suspect that Qin Yuanheng had already obtained the Longevity Pill from the Demon Queen before going to the Sanqing Palace. So his purpose in going to the Sanqing Palace was not to prolong his life, but to find a sanctuary so that he could legitimately stay in a sect in the cultivation world."

Xiao Qi understood. "But he was rejected, so he couldn't stay here and went back?"

Lu Xiaowu shook his head. "His return is probably not solely due to this. Since he's already here, there are plenty of ways to stay. Just because the Sanqing Palace route is blocked doesn't mean there aren't other options. So, his return is likely because he's made a new deal with the Demon Queen."

New deal?
A new trade in the modern world?
Oh shit!

Xiao Qi really wanted to find Qin Yuanheng right away and tear him to pieces!
“Even if Yuan Ren can find Qin Yuanheng, he won’t be able to catch him. I bet that old man is being protected by a demon.”

Lu Xiaowu paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something. He looked at Xiao Qi and suddenly smiled, "Guess why the people from Sanqing Palace knew that Qin Yuanheng was here?"

Xiao Qi laughed too, clearly she had thought of it as well. "We both know Qin Yuanheng exists, and likewise, he knows we're here. After falling from the membrane that day, we ran out of the demon realm without stopping. So that old man deliberately spread the news to lure us to him, right?"

Lu Xiaowu nodded, "Most likely."

He turned to look out the window, squinting, "Xiao Qi, maybe right now, there's a demon watching us."

Xiao Qi took out the demon-revealing mirror and placed it on the table. She tapped the mirror with her index finger and said, "Hey, get to work. I'll go find you some spirit crystals later."

Lu Xiaowu chimed in, "Yes, I'll find you a whole bunch of spirit crystals."

"Don't lie to people."

After a childish baby voice rang out, two large eyes appeared in the mirror. The eerie eyelashes blinked and then slowly disappeared.

As a seductive woman's figure appeared in the mirror, the baby's voice rang out again, "In the courtyard behind this building, there's a stinky fox demon and a stupid dog demon. On the second floor opposite this inn, there's an ugly giant toad."

Meng Qi was startled by the voice. "Why is there an introduction? Why didn't you say anything before?"

The little mirror said smugly, "They were always going to introduce it, but you never asked before, so how was I supposed to know you wanted to hear it?"

Mengqi poked it with her finger, "I haven't even asked yet, so why did you speak up?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Stop poking me!"

"You think you, a broken mirror, can feel pain? Who are you trying to fool?"

Xiao Qi poked at it several more times with her finger. "You naughty thing, you're clearly bullying me."

Watching the two people arguing, Lu Xiaowu smiled silently.

"Alright, Xiaoqi, you stay in your room. I'll go out and tidy them up."

As Lu Xiaowu spoke, he stood up, and Xiao Qi followed suit. She said, "There are three of them. How can you handle them all by yourself? I'll go with you."

Lu Xiaowu thought about it and decided that it would be good to bring her along, even if she couldn't help, she could still broaden her horizons.

He took out two puppet figures from his storage ring, infused them with spiritual power, and after the puppet figures grew larger, they looked remarkably like him and Xiao Qi. Sitting at the table, they looked out the window and were mistaken for the two of them.

"Walk."

The two went to the small courtyard behind the inn first. Lu Xiaowu released his divine sense and, just as he had initially sensed, the fox demon and dog demon who had concealed their cultivation were at the late Golden Core stage and the early Nascent Soul stage, respectively.

Those two aren't even the strongest; the toad demon at the inn across the street is the most powerful, having reached the Nascent Soul stage just like him.

Ha, the demon realm is really going all out.

In order to deal with the two people from another world, Lu Xiaowu guessed that Qin Yuanheng might treat him as someone from that world, since he was on the other side of the membrane at the time.

Despite the large number of demons in the demon realm, their overall strength is not great. Reaching the Golden Core stage is already difficult, let alone the Nascent Soul stage, which is extremely rare. Yet, two demons were dispatched to deal with them.

Lu Xiaowu and Xiao Qi exchanged a glance, and Lu Xiaowu gestured for her to affix the invisibility talisman before flashing into the courtyard.

The Cloud-Piercing Sword, carrying a fierce momentum, slashed towards the dog demon, who was in the early Nascent Soul stage and had transformed into a handsome man.

Sensing the impending danger, the dog demon leaped up to retreat, but suddenly dense foliage appeared all around it, with sharp, thorn-like leaves attacking it.

The dog demon glanced at the leaves out of the corner of its eye, completely ignoring them. It swept all the leaves away with a wave of its arm, its retreating figure unchanged.

"Ah, Brother Dog, help!"

Before the fox demon, who had transformed into a seductive woman, could finish her plea for help, her body split in two, and what fell to the ground with a thud was her pure white fox form.

Xiao Qi looked at the white fur stained with blood and felt a pang of regret.

Although she doesn't like clothes made of fox fur, she can make a vest for Grandpa, and also for her great-grandfather and great-grandmother. There are many elderly people in the family, so she can surely collect a few sets of knee pads.

But now that it's been split in two, I don't know if it can still be made.

She rushed into the courtyard to collect the fox demon's corpse and took out its demon core as she did so.

After all that was done, a "shatter" sound came from above the courtyard.

Then, a deluge of minced meat and blood rained down on the courtyard. Xiao Qi quickly dodged outside, thankfully avoiding being soaked.

She looked at her fifth senior brother expressionlessly. He was too cruel and too wasteful.

After quickly dealing with the two demons, Lu Xiaowu didn't go directly to the inn across the street. Instead, he quickly led Xiao Qi away and hid.

The fox demon's cries may have alerted the toad demon, and if I'm not mistaken, it will definitely come over.

Sure enough, less than two breaths after the two had hidden themselves, a large-mouthed man wearing a purple silk robe appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

Although the door was closed, the smell of blood couldn't be contained.

The big-mouthed man slipped into the courtyard, his gaze sweeping darkly over the scattered pieces of the dog demon's flesh on the ground, and the dog's head under the tree not far away.

Seeing the dog's eyes wide open in shock before it died, the big-mouthed man suddenly looked up at the sky.

"come out!"

Its response was a gleaming sword and a black knife with a colorful hilt.

The power of the sword was not to be underestimated. The toad demon pulled out two curved blades to defend itself. With a clang, the two magical weapons collided, and both Lu Xiaowu and the toad demon were forced back dozens of meters.

Taking advantage of the toad demon's resistance to Lu Xiaowu, the black knife flashed across his arm like a lightning bolt, instantly spurting out a stream of green liquid with an unbearable stench.

"Xiao Qi, be careful, it's poisonous."

See it.

Xiao Qi covered her nose and retreated about ten meters.

Although she couldn't intervene in a fight of this level, she could still do a great favor by launching a sneak attack and disrupting the opponent's plans, allowing the Fifth Senior Brother to suppress it.

The two had worked together many times and were already perfectly coordinated in fighting.

Lu Xiaowu attacks head-on, while Xiao Qi sneaks up on him from the shadows using black maple leaves or branches. It doesn't matter if she can't hurt him, as long as she can slow him down for a moment so that her fifth senior brother can seize the opportunity to kill him.
