Chapter 279 Bones
Since arriving here, Lu Xiaowu may not have done much else, but he has watched the most movies and TV series.

Therefore, he knows how to flip cards.

"soy Mujer."

Helplessly, he reached out and ruffled Xiaoqi's hair, asking, "Where's your phone?"

"my phone?"

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and slapped her forehead. Only then did she remember that after her mother checked up on her for no reason last night, she turned off her phone and threw it into her storage ring. She forgot about it after that and had been in class until now.

Why did the fifth senior brother personally make a trip for this?
Looks like something's happened.

She turned to Xu Shishi, who was still stunned, and introduced her, "Shishi, this is my brother. You go to the cafeteria first, we have something to do outside."

Without waiting for Xu Shishi's reaction, he turned around and followed Lu Xiaowu outside.

"I forgot to ask my mom last night if they've been found yet?"

She felt that if she couldn't find the person, her mother wouldn't be in the mood to check up on her.

"Found her, but I'm only able to rescue her thanks to you."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Xiao Qi turned to look at Lu Xiaowu and blinked. "Does my reputation in Northeast China really make me famous? Is everyone afraid of me?"

Lu Xiaowu pursed his lips. "Be humble. Being overconfident isn't a good thing. It was that fox demon who saved your parents. Sister Lan suspects she'll use that as leverage to ask you to do things for her."

“Zi Ji,” Xiao Qi laughed as soon as she heard that, “No, that fox is too clever for her own good. She wouldn’t dare to negotiate with me.”

"You trust her that much?"

Lu Xiaowu had never met Ziji, but Meng Shulan said she was very powerful, with the same cultivation level as them. He wasn't sure if Xiaoqi could handle her alone, so he called him over as well. Fortunately, he was there when Ziji came looking for him.

"How about we make a bet? You don't go back or show your face. Let's see if she comes looking for me, and if so, what she wants."

"Okay, what's the bet?"

"Didn't you watch a pole dancing video before the bet? You're so smart, you should be able to learn it after watching it once, right? If not, just watch it a few more times. If you lose, you have to dance this for me, how about it? Hey, don't go, didn't you ask what we were betting on?"

At the entrance of a nearby coffee shop, Dongfang Shuo, who had just come out, saw Xiao Qi and Lu Xiaowu. He was about to raise his hand to call them when he saw the two stride forward, with one hopping and skipping after them. After catching up, Xiao Qi grabbed Lu Xiaowu's arm and stubbornly refused to leave.

Lu Xiaowu stopped and reached out to pinch her face, then pulled his arm out and wrapped it around her waist, almost carrying her forward.

The movements were fluid and natural, as if they had done it many times before.

Dongfang Shuo closed his open mouth, lowered his hand, and stared blankly as the two walked further and further away. Finally, he lowered his head, smiled bitterly, and turned back to the coffee shop.

He didn't have class this morning and spent the whole time reading in the coffee shop. He had planned to call Xiaoqi to have lunch together after school, but her phone was off.

He didn't think much of it, because she didn't use her phone much, and sometimes she wouldn't even know when it ran out of battery and shut down automatically.

He assumed the same thing would happen today.

Meng Shulan had considered asking Dongfang Shuo, who was in the same school, to come to her, but the fox demon's cultivation was unfathomable. Even if she and Lin Qingquan joined forces, they might not be able to defeat it, let alone Dongfang Shuo.

That's why I notified Xiao Wu to come over.

northeast.

After Liu Liu woke up, she took the fairy statue out of her storage bag. Of course, the imposter in the main hall was taken out and smashed by Meng Yanxu. The moment the statue shattered, they saw a cloud of blood mist burst out from the chest area, then quickly dispersed into the soil and disappeared.

"The imitation is quite thorough. Did they also drip their own heart's blood onto the statue?"

Liu Liu nodded, "It wants to take the path of consuming incense offerings, so taking its heart's blood is only natural. It's just a pity that the path of cultivation isn't something you can just switch at will."

Just like how cultivators are divided into sects and families, different sects have completely different internal cultivation methods, as well as different spells, sword techniques, and saber techniques. If you cultivate one type, you may not be able to cultivate another type. Some even require you to abandon your previous cultivation before you can start all over again.

But most people don't get a second chance.

After all, shortcuts aren't always easy to take.

The snake demon Liu Zhu wanted to take the shortcut of the fairy, but she was too arrogant. Even if a snake demon who has become an immortal has a wisp of divine soul in the human world, it is not easy to deal with people, let alone protect herself.
As it turns out, the fairy's self-preservation was not only for herself, but also for Liu Liu and even those around her.

"There's a binding magic array on the statue, Aunt Lan, do you think you can break it?"

Meng Shulan tried it, but finally shook her head, "I can't do it."

Liu Liu frowned in worry, when Meng Shulan said, "If the magic array was set up by that snake demon, we can notify Xiao Qi and have her kill the snake demon when she sees Zi Ji. That way, the magic array will automatically dissipate."

"Is that so?"

Liu Liu and Meng Yanxu were both quite curious. Could it be that a magic array could disappear with the death of a person?

“Human-designed formations will not have this phenomenon, but demons are different because most of their abilities are bloodline talents. Therefore, when their lives end, the spells and other restrictions related to them will also disappear.”

She learned all of this from Su Changhe. As for Yu Qingge, that lazy person was too lazy to say a word, so she wouldn't be kind enough to explain this to her.

"But what if the fox demon doesn't want to kill it? After all, they are of the same kind."

"It's alright, Xiao Wu is going over there too. If we don't kill the fox demon, then let Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi work together to kill them both."

Liu Liu was relieved to hear that Lu Xiaowu was also with Xiao Qi.

At this moment, Lin Qingquan finally finished inspecting the secret chamber below and came to the main hall in the front courtyard to find them.

"Uncle, what did you find out?"

Lin Qingquan said with a solemn expression, "There is a large pit on the inside of that secret room, filled with bones. It's very full, more than we imagined."

He didn't mention that there were also many tiny skulls, each about the size of a palm, inside, which were clearly from infants.

That's utterly inhuman!
"Liu Dewen, you bastard."

The old man who fainted after being thrown into the backyard by Zi Ji was Liu Dewen. He must have been thrown quite hard, because he hasn't woken up yet.

The moment Liu Liu woke up and saw him, she wanted to kill him, but Meng Yanxu stopped her.

It's not worth getting your hands dirty for someone like that.

So he simply stuck a branch into Liu Dewen's arms and legs, and the first time he did that, he woke Liu Dewen from his unconscious state.

Disliking his howling too loudly, Meng Yanxu stuffed the rag that Liu Liu had used to wipe the statues in the main hall of the front yard into his mouth, stuffing it tightly so that he could only make a soft whimpering sound.

Then he stabbed Liu Dewen seven or eight more times with a twig until Liu Dewen couldn't bear the pain and fainted, only then did he stop.

Liu Liu angrily stepped forward and kicked him, gritting her teeth as she said, "And the Huang family, I won't let them get away with it."
