I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 251 Fishing for Foxes
"Grandma, when did you get back?"

As the two left the school gate, Pidan excitedly pulled Xiaoqi aside, asking all sorts of questions, "Was it fun there? Are they like in the TV shows, flying on swords? Was the food delicious? Did you bring me any local specialties?"

He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had just run into his biological mother, whom he hadn't seen for many years, in the office.

Xiao Qi reached into her backpack and pretended to take out a spirit fruit, then handed it to him.

"What kind of fruit is this?"

As he spoke, Pidan took a bite, then his eyes lit up. "So delicious!"

"Yes, there are many more, you can have them all."

"I knew my great-aunt was the best to me."

The two strolled slowly along the sidewalk. Xiao Qi pulled the hood of her beige quilted sweatshirt over her head, put her hands in the pockets of her matching pants, and turned to ask Pi Dan, "Do you know why that girl was causing you trouble?"

Pidan was displeased. "I know, but I don't care. She just wants to provoke me into beating her up, then make a big scene so her dad knows that woman's son hit her, and then kick that woman out."

She finished speaking and snorted coldly, "Not only did she abandon her husband and children to find a pig, but she also helped someone else raise a thankless wretch. Oh, why talk about her? I don't want to mention her at all."

"Okay, then let's not talk about it."

Just then, the family of four came out of the school and walked towards a black Mercedes parked across the street.

Xiao Qi stopped and turned to look. Just then, the woman was also looking this way. Pi Dan glanced at her, then rolled his eyes and turned to urge Xiao Qi, "Come on, grandma, I'll treat you to milk tea."

Xiao Qi looked away and followed Pi Dan toward the milk tea shop ahead.

The short, stout man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the little girl was no longer looking in his direction, and at the same time raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

This is really weird. Is this girl blind? Why does he get flustered whenever she looks at him?
“Go find your ex-husband and ask your son to transfer schools.”

The old lady looked at her beloved granddaughter's swollen cheek and her heart ached. "You ill-mannered little brat, how could you hit her so hard?"

The man started the car, and the woman opened the passenger door and got in. At first, the old lady kept nagging her without saying a word, but she suddenly got angry as the woman's words became more and more outrageous.

"She went there looking for trouble and got beaten up, so who's to blame?"

"Oh, so you thought you were really kind to my Xibao, but now you're siding with your son? I knew no stepmother is ever a good one."

"Yes, yes, I'm a stepmother. No matter what I do, it's wrong. Even if I'm good to her, it's still considered ill-intentioned. Since you're so worried, why don't you take her away? Why send her here in the first place?"

"What's wrong with me bringing it here? This is my son's house, her father's house, and her house. You, this secondhand item, are the one who should be here."

Bang!
A sudden loud bang and violent tremor interrupted the argument inside the car. Immediately afterwards, two loud thuds came from the back seat, the sounds of the elderly woman and her granddaughter Mao Xixi hitting their heads on the back seat because they weren't wearing seatbelts.

The woman in the passenger seat was unharmed thanks to the seatbelt, but she was terrified by the sudden turn of events, her face turning deathly pale. She stared wide-eyed at the large tree ahead and the dented, smoking front of the car, completely bewildered as to why she had crashed into it.
The short, stout man trapped by the airbag in the driver's seat was equally bewildered. He didn't understand how he had ended up crashing into a tree, even though he was a seasoned driver with over twenty years of experience.

"Hello, two cups of bubble tea."

As Pidan went to the front desk to pay for his milk tea, Xiaoqi stood in front of the large glass window near the door, watching indifferently as the black Mercedes crashed into a tree outside.

Suddenly, her gaze shifted slightly, and her eyes sharpened instantly.

A figure flashed across the top floor of the opposite commercial building, so fast it was as if the place had always been empty and devoid of anything.

"what happened?"

Having spent six years in the special training camp, Pidan's senses were comparable to those of ordinary cultivators. He immediately sensed the change in his aunt's aura, but it returned to normal as he approached, making her look like an ordinary girl.

But he knew something was going to happen.

He looked out the window. The black Mercedes that had crashed into the tree was still smoking. A family of four had already gotten out of the car. The short, stout middle-aged man was standing on the sidewalk making a phone call, seemingly calling the police. Pidan scoffed and then looked away.

That family isn't worthy of causing a change in the aura surrounding my great-aunt.

However, after searching around without finding anything unusual, he turned around and went to the counter to get his milk tea.

After leaving the store, I whispered to Xiao Qi, "What is it?"

"Not sure yet."

It was certain; she knew that the one who had just run away was the fox demon. Perhaps it had sensed her presence the moment she stepped into Qingzhou City.

They've been keeping an eye on the Sanqingshan area, haven't they?

Xiao Qi raised her hand and pulled at her hat. It seemed that her dinner plans for tonight would have to be changed.

At 8 p.m., there is a newly developed Shengyuan Lake on the outskirts of Qingzhou City. The lakeside is covered with nearly a thousand acres of green lawn, which is specially designed for tourists to enjoy the spring scenery.

On weekends in spring and autumn, this place is often packed with people, but now, with the cold snap in early spring, especially at night, it is deserted.

Xiao Qi placed a thick cushion on the ground, sat cross-legged on it, closed her eyes, and waited patiently.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the grass around her is quite different from other places; it's exceptionally green and full of vitality.

It was completely different from the withered grass that had just passed through the harsh winter.

Against this backdrop of green, a long, large, fluffy white tail stands out conspicuously.

Because it only had one tail, a fox tail that was clearly cut off.

"Little girl, you've got some nerve."

Xiao Qi opened her eyes and looked at a young woman thirty meters ahead, wearing a white down jacket and boots, with wavy hair and highlights of red and purple.

Wow, that's pretty trendy.

Having lived here for fifty years, do you really think of yourself as a modern person?
"know?"

Xiao Qi didn't waste any words with her, and simply raised her chin and pointed to the tail on the ground.

The woman chuckled softly, "You used it to lure me in, weren't you sure I'd recognize it? Its name is Bai Ji, a favorite of the Queen, our dearest third sister. Was it the one from Sanqing Mountain who killed it?"

The woman insisted that her third sister was not killed by Xiao Qi, but that she guessed it was Yu Qingge.

However, the tone when asking this question was rather casual, completely lacking any anger or murderous intent towards an enemy.

It seems her relationship with her third sister is not very good.

Xiao Qi, who had originally prepared to fight, had no choice but to put her tail back for now.

Fifth Brother is right, the kinship between demons is different from that between humans.

Since the relationship was so-so, what did it matter who killed him?
Instead of answering, she asked, "You've been in Qingzhou for over a month, what are you planning to do? I advise you to tell the truth, because I don't have much patience. Although I didn't kill your third sister, I still have the ability to kill you. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try!"

Before I knew it, I had already written over 500,000 words. I originally only planned to finish it at around 600,000 words, but now it seems that won't be possible.

I went over the plot this morning, and I want to speed up the pace later.
