I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 229 Using Oneself as Bait
"It's red?"

Xiao Qi stared in amazement at the dragon-eagle with an eagle's head and a dragon's body, yet with fiery red feathers, as it flew out of the cave. "So beautiful!"

The dragon eagle's round, blue eyes were fixed on the scale in Xiao Qi's hand, its intentions quite obvious.

"You want it? Then you'll have to trade something for it."

Xiao Qi held up the scale in her hand and shook it, "These are fresh scales that haven't been off for long, they fell from a live jade dragon, much better than the stone egg you have. Besides, my little dragon isn't very old, and it still smells like milk."

As she spoke, she held it up to her nose and smelled it. Well, it had been too long and the smell had dissipated.

But the dragon eagle doesn't care about the milky smell or not, it doesn't understand. It just flaps its wings as soon as it sees Xiao Qi's movements, as if it wants to snatch the milk and smell it.

However, it could understand human speech and knew that what the little girl meant by "exchange" was that it could understand human speech.

Why exchange?

Can't it get what it wants immediately?

The dragon eagle felt that there was something wrong with the little girl and that her thinking was incorrect. It wanted to correct her, so it stretched out its claws to try to grab the dragon scales.

If I want something, you have to give it to me.

It grabbed one end of the dragon scale, but the other end was in Xiao Qi's hand.

Long Ying looked at her with hostility, his meaning clear: he wanted her to let go!

Xiao Qi's smile vanished. Before Yuan Ren and Sect Leader Qin could react, she slapped the dragon eagle's claw away and pointed at it, yelling, "Trying to take advantage of me? You want a beating, don't you?"

The dragon eagle was furious. No one had ever dared to touch it since it was born, and this little brat dared to hit it!
call.
The dragon eagle opened its beak and breathed out a ball of fire, but before it could burn the girl on the other side, it was suddenly doused with cold water from who-knows-where.

The dragon eagle froze on the spot, its fiery red feathers clinging wetly to its body, making it look like a drowned rat.

"Oh My God"

Equally stunned, Sect Master Qin quickly recovered and hurriedly used magic to dry the dragon eagle's feathers, muttering with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with you, little girl? How could you start a fight at the drop of a hat? The little eagle has never been rained on since it was a cub, don't make it sick. Oh dear, I knew I shouldn't have brought you along."

Meng Qi couldn't help but roll her eyes and scoffed, "The reason why brats are brats is because they have brat parents like you."

She no longer found the dragon eagle attractive at all, and pointed at it, yelling, "Take out the dragon egg, or I'll beat you up again! Hurry up!"

The little girl is small, but she has a lot of presence when she gets angry. What's more, she was holding a big ball of water in her hand as she spoke, and it looked like she was about to throw it at her at any moment.

The dragon eagle shuddered, turned around cowardly, and ran back into the cave. A moment later, it emerged, carrying a huge oval egg, and huffed and puffed as it came out.

Xiao Qi gave it the scales in her hand, picked up the egg, and turned to leave.

Lu Xiaowu hadn't come with them. After exiting the secret passage, he sent messages to Lin Yan and the sect, instructing them to change their route and come to Sanqing Palace. He then sent a message to An Ruchen, telling him that the fox demon had attacked Sanqing Palace with the intention of annihilating it.

Regardless of whether the demon race intended to exterminate the Sanqing Palace, he was determined to label it as such.

It was only after sending the message that a sudden thought flashed through his mind. The fact that the Demon Queen sent a fox demon, a Nascent Soul cultivator, was definitely not just about assassinating the Sect Master of the Three Pure Ones Palace. Even if they knew that Qin Yuanheng had been captured, they couldn't have found him so quickly.

So, the fox demon's real purpose in coming to the Sanqing Palace wasn't to destroy that ancient teleportation array, was it?

Because this means that the only way to enter the modern world is through the world membrane wall in Halloween Valley.

As for the secret realm Lin Yan came from, they certainly didn't know.

Qin Yuanheng was visibly shocked when he first saw Lin Yan, clearly not expecting him to have arrived so many years ago. It seems the teleportation array needs stronger protection.

"Senior brother, I've brought the egg back."

Lu Xiaowu turned around and saw that the egg in front of the skinny little girl was half the length of her body, and it covered half of her face when she hugged it.

"So fast? It seems that Sect Master Qin's spirit pet is quite obedient."

Yuan Ren, who had been holding back his laughter, couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Obedience? That's right, a beating would make them quite obedient."

Recalling the troubles of being dominated by that guy in the past, Yuan Ren felt that Junior Sister Meng Qi had gone too far. What's wrong with just getting rained on?
We should have beaten him black and blue.

Since Junior Sister Xiao Qi can do things that they dare not do, then let's do more of them.

Lu Xiaowu took the dragon egg and returned to the teleportation array in the secret passage. As soon as he placed it on the array as Yuan Ren had instructed, he felt a "buzz" and the space around him trembled.

Xiao Qi kept staring at the ancient, round platform in the center, feeling that it seemed a little taller than before.

She was getting restless and wanted to go back.

"Senior brother, should I?"

“You don’t want to,” Lu Xiaowu interrupted her, saying realistically, “High-grade spirit stones are very expensive. I only have fifteen on me, enough for just one time.”

So stop thinking about it and just wait for Lin Yan and Su Changhe to come.

Xiao Qi muttered resentfully, "How come you're so poor?"

"While we're waiting, let's go to the market down the mountain and buy some local specialties. Don't you have a lot of relatives and friends? We don't want to run out of things to share."

This successfully diverted Xiao Qi's attention, and she happily said, "Okay, let's go now."

"Wait a minute, let me set up a formation."

Lu Xiaowu took out several items from his storage ring and set up an elaborate protective array around the teleportation array. He could sense it immediately if anyone touched it.

When he left, he told Yuan Ren about his earlier guess and instructed them to put their sect on high alert to prevent the demon race from sneaking into the secret area behind the mountain again.

Yuan Ren nodded solemnly. Even if Lu Xiaowu hadn't mentioned it, they still had to be on high alert. After all, the back mountain not only had a teleportation array, but also the foundation of their Grandmaster and their Sanqing Palace. They absolutely could not allow what had just happened to happen again.

However, there was one more thing that Lu Xiaowu didn't mention.

The fox demon saw him before she died, and the demon queen probably knows that he killed her confidant. Coupled with the hatred for her son's death, she probably hates him to the bone now and may be planning to send a demon to assassinate him.

That would be wonderful.

Lu Xiaowu wanted to use himself as bait, hoping to intensify the conflict between the demon race and the human race, perhaps even bringing the war forward or turning an impossible war into a possibility.

The second reason is to kill more demons and bring them back for my junior sister to sell for money.

As for why he was so confident that he could kill the demon who came to assassinate him, it was because he had informed his martial uncle that the powerful Nascent Soul cultivators of the demon race would definitely be closely watched by the Zhu family.

He was confident that he could take down the rest with Xiao Qi's help.
