Catching Monsters

Chapter 371 Then we won't be polite.

The couple paused slightly upon hearing Jiang Yun's reprimand. Then, the woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, not forgetting to roll her eyes at the man beside her, and said, "Hu Yi, I told you, this method is too old-fashioned. Besides, people's hearts are not the same as before. They are not as simple and kind as they used to be. It's not easy to fool them."

“In the past, if you pretended to be an old woman and fell down, kind people would come to help you up.”

"But now the world is going to the dogs. I've heard that some of our fox clan's younger generation pretended to be elderly humans and fell down in the Zhou Kingdom, but no one paid any attention to them, and some even tried to steal the money they were carrying."

"Tell me, how come people's hearts are so wicked these days?"

"It's much harder to fool these people than before."

"If you ask me, your idea is really bad. Next time, can we try something new and interesting?"

The monster called Hu Yi glanced at the woman and said, "Hu Meier, don't talk about me like that. I asked you to come up with a solution, but what did you do? You spent the whole way here thinking, and you still couldn't come up with a good one."

Upon hearing this, Hu Meier became a little anxious: "No wonder the clan leader said that our fox clan is clever and quick-witted. How come there are two fools in the fox clan? You are one of the two fools."

"And they've all cultivated to the Demon King realm."

Hu Yi was stunned for a moment, feeling greatly insulted, and couldn't help but ask, "Huh, didn't I remember you calling me the Fox Clan's Twin Fiends? How come you've both become idiots?"

"Who's the other idiot?"

“It seems to be me too.” Hu Meier raised an eyebrow slightly.

This woman truly lived up to her reputation as a fox spirit; she was incredibly beautiful, and even the slightest movement of her eyebrows was captivating.

The two continued talking to themselves, completely ignoring Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun frowned, coughed, and looked at the two men: "Gentlemen, if you're going to argue, please go somewhere else..."

Hu Yi then came to his senses and remembered the purpose of his trip. His gaze fell on Jiang Yun: "If you're here to kill someone, are you welcome?"

Hu Meier transformed herself; her pregnant belly vanished without a trace, replaced by a figure radiant in a purple gauze dress.

She stuck out her tongue, licked her lips, and stared at Jiang Yun, asking, "You're Jiang Yun from the Sanqing Temple, right?"

“I’m not,” Jiang Yun said calmly.

"Forehead."

Jiang Yun's answer clearly stunned the two of them. Hu Yi stared at Jiang Yun and asked, "Then who are you, and what brings you to the Sanqing Temple, where you reprimanded us as demons?"

“I’m here to kill him too,” Jiang Yun said in a deep voice.

"Companions?" Hu Yi turned to look at Hu Meier beside him and said in a low voice, "The person who sent us here didn't say there were any competitors."

Hu Yi then raised his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "I'm sorry, but this matter is about first come, first served. Since you came first, I'll let you kill first. If you can't handle it, then we can make our move later."

"No, we're already here, let's work together to make sure nothing goes wrong." Jiang Yun smiled warmly.

"Oh, I can't possibly accept this."

"Hey, when you're out in the world, you're all about making friends. The more friends you have, the more paths you have to take."

Hu Yi nodded with a smile, then asked, "Where is Jiang Yun?"

“He is a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. If he’s not at Sanqing Temple this late, he must be at the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters,” Jiang Yun replied.

“Alright, let’s go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard’s office.” Hu Yi nodded and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Hu Meier, who was standing next to Hu Yi, grabbed his hand and glared at him, saying, "Are you really stupid? Just because he says it's not Jiang Yun doesn't mean it isn't?"

Hu Meier's voice caused the temperature in the room to drop even further.

This also caused Jiang Yun to put his hand behind his back, holding a talisman, ready to act at any moment.

Unexpectedly, Hu Meier then said, "At the very least, he should prove it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun took out a jet-black token and said, "I am Li Diedie, a protector of the Red Lotus Sect."

"The Protector of the Red Lotus Sect?"

Hu Meier took the jet-black token and examined it carefully. She felt that it didn't seem fake, and she began to believe it more.

Hu Meier asked curiously, "Li Diedie, why did you come to kill Jiang Yun too?"

Jiang Yun smiled upon hearing this and said, "You're too kind. Just call him Die Die. And why did you two come to kill him?"

"secret."

"Then am I a secret too?" Jiang Yun's eyes darted around as he asked, "How about this, let's exchange them. To show my sincerity, I'll go first."

"This is a long story. Jiang Yun, as a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was utterly wicked."

"Before I joined the Red Lotus Sect, I had a house and land, and I lived a carefree life. Who knew that Jiang Yun would be so tyrannical and ruthless, colluding with the government and showing no regard for the law, seizing my house and land..."

After listening to Jiang Yun's words, Hu Yi and Hu Meier suddenly realized that with such deep-seated hatred, it was no wonder that Li Diedie wanted to seek revenge on Jiang Yun.

"And you guys?" Jiang Yun suddenly changed her tone and asked curiously.

"Us," Hu Yigang began, about to speak.

Hu Meier, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped her, saying, "This is confidential; we can't just talk about it."

Hu Yi glared at Hu Meier and said, "This Diedie is so open-minded that she even told us such a sad story. It's fine to tell her." Hu Yi said, "We were sent by the clan chief. The clan chief said that if we kill Jiang Yun, we will be one step closer to...

The middle part was omitted by this guy.

These two aren't actually stupid; of course, the reputation of the fox clan's two idiots isn't unfounded.

More precisely, the two rarely left the Demon Kingdom for training. Even when they were in the Demon Kingdom, they were protected by the elders of the Fox Clan. Although they had cultivated to the level of Demon King, their minds were still relatively simple and honest.

"If we want to kill Jiang Yun, we have to wait for him to return. So, the three of us will lie in wait and wait for Jiang Yun to come back before we strike and kill him in one blow."

"rational."

"Let's go, let's find a place to hide first."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and led the two to a house to hide in temporarily. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, wondering what to do next.

Did they launch a sneak attack on these two?
These two monsters are extremely powerful, and they are always together.

If we can't achieve a fatal blow, there will be a lot of trouble.

Jiang Yun gradually fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, in an inn diagonally opposite the Sanqing Temple, Xiao Jingfu was sitting by the window, witnessing Hu Yi and Hu Meier enter the Sanqing Temple.

Tao Kui was beside him, gently massaging his legs.

"These two monsters have been inside for so long, why haven't they made a single move?" Xiao Jingfu frowned.

Tao Kui, standing nearby, whispered, "Your Highness need not worry. Hu Yi and Hu Meier are both highly talented demon kings of our fox clan."

"Although I may lack experience in traveling, my strength is definitely not a problem."

"The two of them may have used deception to temporarily fool Jiang Yun, preparing to strike him dead when the opportunity arises."

"After all, this is the capital city, a place of great importance, and Jiang Yun is a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Killing him would have extremely serious consequences..."

"It would be best to complete the mission quietly."

"That makes sense." Xiao Jingfu chuckled and nodded, waiting quietly.

Time passed slowly, but no sound came from the outside world.

"Hmph." Xiao Jingfu gradually lost his patience and paced back and forth in the room.

Whether or not Jiang Yun can be dealt with successfully is crucial to whether he can successfully ascend the throne.

"Let's go see what these two are up to." A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Jingfu's eyes.

Seeing this, Tao Kui also quickly got up.

The two quickly headed towards the main gate of the Sanqing Temple.

At this moment, the main gate of Sanqing Temple was ajar. Xiao Jingfu and Tao Kui exchanged a glance and secretly went inside.

Xiao Jingfu and Tao Kui were also a little confused. Why was there no sound at all inside? It was so quiet.

……

Jiang Yun, who was hiding inside the Sanqing Temple, was pondering how to deal with Hu Yi and Hu Meier.

Suddenly, Hu Yi's ears twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Someone is coming back."

Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback, then quickly climbed to the window and, by the bright moonlight, saw Xiao Jingfu and Tao Kui sneaking into the Sanqing Temple.

Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly. The Fourth Prince, this guy...

Could it be him who wanted to kill me?

"Is this Jiang Yun?" Hu Yi asked in a low voice.

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Hu Meier, who was standing to the side, also said, "It should be right. The information says that Jiang Yun is a gigolo who lives off a woman. He only managed to get to where he is in the capital because of Xu Suwen from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."

"The woman next to her must be Xu Suwen."

Jiang Yun's face darkened, but he still managed a cold smile: "This Jiang Yun is indeed a bastard..."

"Diedie, in my opinion, we should follow the order of precedence. After all, you and he have a blood feud. Why don't you make the first move?" Hu Yi suggested in a low voice.

Jiang Yun shook his head: "No, you've all come from a long way, it must have been tough for you. You should do the killing yourself."

"Just stab me twice after you've killed the corpse."

Hu Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled at Jiang Yun, "In that case, we won't stand on ceremony..."

"Make a move?" Hu Meier asked.

Hu Yi nodded: "Let's do it!"

Soon, the two transformed into two black shadows, silently leaving the house and approaching Xiao Jingfu and Tao Kui outside.
