As a handsome man who doesnât speak much, who wonât be surprise by anything, and who was always as calm as a mountain, Hua Jian could only ignore Ming Shu.
I have met a lot of crazy people. I am very calm now.
[Lord Nine, put down your knife when you say that.]
âLet me tell you...â Ming Shu suddenly turned around and Hua Jian quickly hid the knife behind his back. He looked at her calmly. Ming Shu didnât seem to realize anything and continued, âLu Jiu and his men are here too.
âYes.â
Hua Jian had no reaction but he was cursing in his heart. Why did that bunch of losers come? Are they waiting for me to pick up their corpse?
Ming Shu added on, âoh, right, Jin Dongyi is here too.â
Hua Jianâs face turned hideous. He quickly turned his head.
Can you donât pause between your sentence?
Why is ti so hard for me to do a mission!
â
Hua Jian couldnât see where the demon was hiding but Ming Shu knew. However, he could do anything to violate his character setting such as hugging her legs and pleading her to tell him. Hence, he could only find it himself.
They could only hear their footsteps on the corridor. Ming Shu walked behind him casually as though she was taking a stroll in the garden.
âCan we rest for a while?â
I am a bit hungry.
Ming Shu took out a chocolate and started peeling it opened.
Although Hua Jian didnât say anything, he stills topped and looked around with vigilance. He continued to curse in his heart.
After Ming Shu finished the chocolate, they carried on.
Before long, Ming Shu said again, âthat...â
Hua Jian replied without turnng his head, âtalk about it when we are outside.â
âHualaâ.â
Hua Jian fell into the a pool. The water splashed onto the ground. The pool was only till his waist but since he just stepped forward, he fell right into the bottom of the pool. He had to struggle a while before standing up.
Ice cold water dripped down from his face. His clothes were already dreanched and you could see the outline of his muscle faintly. The water in the pool moved and added some alluring aura on him.
Hua Jian: â...â
Where is my knife!
Ming Shu stood at the edge of the pool and smiled. âI wanted to remind you that you canât walk in front.â
Hua Jian wanted to climb up but something grabbed his foot and he sank right into the water.
The pool had turned really deep now. Hua Jian was nervous when he was grabbed but he calmed down really quickly.
On top of the pool, Ming Shu watched as Hua Jian was dragged down. The water spalshed higher than before.
Ming Shu took a step back and prevented the water from splashing on her.
Hua Jian was dragged down my a water ghost.
Hua Jian... the person that buys snacks for her is gone?!
Which little demon dares to snatch my man!
Ming Shu pulled up her sleeves and turned to leave.
She walked along the corridor. This house was filled with demon aura. Although it was not strong, it filled up the entire house.
She walked passed the corridor and stood at the north-east end of the house. There was a wing-room here. Outside the wing-room was a courtyard. There was a huge willow tree in the courtyard.
There were no other plants in the surrounding. Only one willow tree was there. It seemed very strange.
Ming Shu stood at the door of the wing-room and knocked. âDelivery.â
The room was very quiet.
Ming Shu continued knocking, âif you donât come out, I will kill it.â
No one replied her.
Ming Shu pulled up her sleeve and went into the courtyard. A knife appeared in her hand and she raised the knife at the willow tree.
âStop!â
A shrill voice came from the wing-room. A woman walked out of the wing-room. She looked quite elegant but there was an evil aura around her eyes. The evil aura destroyed her elegant composure.
The knife was about to strike the branches of the willow tree. Ming Shu raised her head and looked at the woman. She smiled with her mouth corners.
âI thought that you didnât want to come out? Come out after I chop it then.â
The woman remained vigilant. Her voice was shrill as though it was filled with hatred, âwhat are you trying to do!â
Ming Shu knocked on the willow tree. âI am chopping a tree. I have not chopped a willow demon before.â
The flames in the womanâs eyes rose. Who wants you to chop the tree!
âHow did you find me?â How did she know that I am hiding here?
âDo you want to know?â Ming Shu smiled. âBeg me and I will tell you.â
Willow demon: â...â Craz!
The willow demon scanned Ming Shu with her sinister eyes. She suddenly said, âyou are a demon too?â
She could not feel the demon aura on Ming Shu but there were many other ways to distinguish another demon.
So that was how she know where I am at...
Ming Shu couldnât deny his words.
The willow demon suddenly turned hideous and said with hatred, âsince you are a demon, why are you helping the humans? They are a bunch of evil monsters, a bunch of executioners. Why are you helping them?â
She attacked Ming Shu as she said this.
Ming Shu shouted, âdonât be impulsive!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, the willow demon would not listen to her. She shouted furiously, âyou are with them. Go and die too!â
Ming Shu raised her knife and when the willow demon flew over, she slammed it accurately on her head.
The willow demon flew back from the attack. Peach blossoms fluttered in the air like a flower rain. A slight fragrance wifted through the air. The dark and eerie courtyard suddenly turned dreamy.
Ming Shu placed the knife on her shoulder and looked at the willow demon on the ground. She smiled. âI did ask you to not be so impulsive.â
The willow demon: â...â Why didnât you say that you are so powerful!
â
In the village.
Ming Shu grabbed the willow demon and stood beside the stone lion. The first person that came out of the dilapidated house was Lu Jiu. He held onto An Zhiling. Then, a few more people came out. Ming Shu didnât recognise any one of them. They must be from the Evil Spirit Office.
A willow tree appeared in the courtyard. There were bloodstains on its branches.
Lu Jiu looked at Ming Shu as well as the willow demon that was showing its teeth as though it wanted to bit people. He was stunned.
Ming Shu didnât see Hua Jian among the people that came out. She grabbed the willow demon, âwhere is the other person?â
The willow demon smiled eeriely, âI donât know.â
âWhere is boss? Why didnât boss come out? Is he not inside?â The people behind Lu Jiu had already started shouting.
Lu Jiu put down An Zhiling. He didnât bother about that fact that the demon was a female and grabbed her clothes. âYou were the one that did everything inside right? Where did you hide boss?â
âI donât knowâ
The willow demon still gave those three words.
Lu Jiu fumed. âHow can you not know? Where did you hide him!:
The willow demon looked at them viciously and screamed, âthey killed my master. Those evil humans. It was them... I will kill all of them and take revenge for my master.â
Just because her master didnât want to move, they pinned him down and knocked him to his death on her body. Her masterâs blood gushed all over her.
Master looked at her silently, âisnât your master a human too? Are you scolding your master too?â
The willow demon: â...â
Tne next moment, she kneeled down. Ming Shu pressed down on her shoulders and asked softly, âone more person. Where is he?â
Even Lu Jiu was frightened by Ming Shu. She didnât look angry at all and seemed to be just having a chat with the willow demon. However, the willow demonâs expression was not right. It proved that the force she was using was not normal.
âI donât know, I really donât know.â The willow demon was in pain. She could feel something stabbing her body, stabbing every single one of her nerves and every single piece of her bone. She wa in pain.
