I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 283 Giving up
The next morning, Xiao Qi yawned and went to the cafeteria for breakfast with Xu Shishi.

Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket. At first, she ignored it, but after a series of vibrations, she had no choice but to take it out to see what was going on.

It's their group chat.

Qiao Tai tagged her, Wei Xiaole, and Dongfang Shuo in the group chat, asking them if the fairy had come to say goodbye in their dreams last night.

She was about to send a message saying she had received it when Meng Ziyang sent a message saying no first.

Meng Ziyang tagged Liu Liu: 【Did you send the message to the wrong person? The fairy didn't enter my dream yesterday, it was today?】

Liu Liu: [Impossible, it was yesterday. Were you sleeping too soundly? You forgot by now.]

Meng Ziyang: [Do you think that's possible? If I forget, the fairy will definitely take me away.]

Qiao Tai: [At first, I also thought I'd forgotten after waking up, but now that you mention it, I don't think that's possible either. Who was that? That's a fairy maiden; I'll remember her appearance in my dreams for the rest of my life.]

Wei Xiaole: [I joined, and they gave me a few words of advice, telling me to be careful when I turn thirty.]

Meng Ziyang: [What do you mean? Why did I specifically remind you? What about me? The fairy wouldn't have forgotten about me, would she?]

Qiao Tai: [What about me? You haven't forgotten about me, have you?]

It has to be said that these two boys are right. In order for Dongfang Shuo to win over Xiao Qi, Liu Xiangu entered his dreams twice, and the second time she talked on and on for a long time, until it was almost dawn.

So naturally, I forgot about them.

Meng Ziyang tagged Dongfang Shuo: 【What about you? Did you appear in my dream?】

Dongfang Shuo: [Yes, it's the first time I've known the Fairy Maiden was so long-winded. She kept giving endless instructions; it felt like the whole night was filled with her gentle, kind voice.]

Meng Ziyang:
You're just bragging.

Qiao Tai and Meng Ziyang were on the same page, and Qiao Tai immediately added, "He's deliberately trying to annoy you."

Qiao Tai tagged Xiao Qi: [Boss, what about you? Has the Fairy Maiden been looking for you?]

Xiao Qi: [The fox spirit asked me to go out to talk business last night, so I didn't sleep.]

She chose to keep it a secret because the bizarre wedding scene in her dream was so inexplicable that she now feels extremely embarrassed whenever she sees Dongfang Shuo's name.

Her former best friend has become her other half. Fairy, you're really something.

Qiao Tai: [Then I'm relieved. The Fairy Maiden probably didn't have time; she'll have to say goodbye to us in two groups. The first group is Sister Liu Liu, Brother Xiao Le, and Dongfang Shuo. The second group is Boss, Ziyang, and me. No worries, Ziyang, we'll continue waiting for the Fairy Maiden tonight.]

too naive.

Xiao Qi labeled her little brother with this new tag, thinking to herself, "You just wait, wait patiently."

It wasn't until a month later that Meng Ziyang and Qiao Tai finally gave up hope, realizing that the fairy had truly left and would never enter their dreams again.

The weekend after that day, Xiao Qi took Zi Ji back to Sanqing Mountain.

"No way, it's just a show, there's no need to go to such lengths."

Murasaki used her knife to cut several wounds on her body, making her look as if she were stained with blood, a truly pitiful sight.

“These superficial injuries are nothing; it’s the excruciating pain I felt when my grandfather summoned me that was truly unbearable.”

After she finished, Lu Xiaowu handed her a pill, saying, "It will cause your cultivation level to drop for a short time, and you will only be able to recover after a month. If you want to act more convincingly, you'd better take it."

Zi Ji's eyes lit up, and she took it and swallowed it without hesitation.

There was nothing particularly uncomfortable, but my body was noticeably weaker than before, and my spiritual energy was dissipating. The weakness only disappeared when I was left with only about the amount of energy needed for Foundation Establishment cultivation.

"It does look more like it now."

Zi Ji was overjoyed; now they shouldn't have any doubts. When her grandfather saw her later and discovered she was not only severely injured but had also fallen to the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be an injustice not to abandon her.

"Okay, I'm off."

Xiao Qi picked up the bound Zi Ji, leaped across the passage, and arrived at the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints in the Demon Realm.

"Hey, is the Demon King here? Is the Demon King here?"

After landing, she raised a large megaphone and shouted, "Golden-Winged Lion King! Golden-Winged Lion King!"

Coincidentally, the fox clan chief was in the lion king's cave at that moment, and both demons frowned upon hearing the sound.

They were all too familiar with that sound. For the past two months, it had been calling out to them every day, saying something about good days, which had annoyed and hurt their eardrums.

Later, the fire pig who came back from there ran over and asked them to change the song, to change it to a nicer one.

Then everyone heard the first line of the song: Monster, where are you going?
It almost made the Golden-Winged Lion King furious.

"What is this for?"

The Golden-Winged Lion King, suppressing his anger, asked the old patriarch of the Fox Clan, "Have you made contact with Zi Ji?"

"Not yet. Hmm?"

"what happened?"

"I sense that Zi Ji's presence is very close. Has she entered?"

The two demons widened their eyes in surprise, then emerged from the cave at the same time, arriving in front of Xiao Qi in the blink of an eye.

"Miss Qi, what's going on?"

As soon as the Golden-Winged Lion King and the Fox Clan Chief arrived, they spotted the fox Xiao Qi was carrying in her hand, a fox with a wisp of purple fur on its forehead and covered in blood.

The fox clan chief narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced indifferently at Zi Ji.

His cultivation level has dropped drastically, and even if he were to regain it, it would be of no use.

Besides, the human brat in front of her is incredibly cunning and certainly wouldn't willingly give her up to them.

"What am I? Lion King, I'd like to ask you, what do you intend to do?"

Xiao Qi looked coldly at the Demon King with a stern face, "On one hand, you tell me about peaceful coexistence, and on the other hand, you send demons to slaughter my people at will. This fox was someone I barely spared, and there was also a snake, which I killed. Do you want to know how many of our people they killed in total?"

The Lion King already knew that Liu Zhu was gone, but he didn't expect that even Zi Ji would be captured alive, causing her cultivation level to drop so much.

It's useless now, it's a useless piece!
"Tell me, how do you plan to resolve this?"

Xiao Qi looked like she wouldn't give up until she got compensation, and she was holding two grenades in her hand, which made the veins on Lion King's forehead throb again.

“Miss Qi, I really didn’t order her to kill anyone. This fox has been away from our demon clan for a long time. I really didn’t know she went to your side.”

Whether Xiao Qi believes it or not, the Lion King simply refuses to acknowledge that Zi Ji has any connection with their demon race, and that her actions were not instigated by him.

The fox clan chief also said, "My granddaughter has been unruly since she was a child, doing whatever she wants. After coming of age, she left the demon realm to venture out on her own. To be honest, if Miss Qi hadn't brought her here today, I would have forgotten that our fox clan even has such a person."

Upon hearing its words, Murasaki slightly raised her lowered fox head and looked intently at her grandfather.

It's one thing to have no hope in your heart, but it's quite another to be told to your face by a relative that there is no such person as her.

She couldn't help but twitch her lips into a mocking smile. Ha, you're really being dramatic now. After living in the human world for so long, you've actually learned what sadness and heartbreak are all about.

What's there to be sad about?

Isn't it always been like this?
