It was unknown what Captain Sun said to Hua Jian, but in just three days, Captain Sun appeared in Jingshan Mountain’s territory again with his men.

This time he was more alert and marched very carefully, fearing the appearance of any demons.

But nothing happened and they crossed the river smoothly.

Captain Sun didn’t relax his vigilance, though. He told his people to keep alarm.

Big Bao hadn’t changed back to his true shape. Right now he stood on Jingshan Mountain and was looking to the forest below while saying to Ming Shu depressedly, “King, are they digging up the demon core?”

“What else, potatoes?”

Big Bao: “...”

The king was just born to talk this way, so just get used to it. Get used to it, get used to it.

Surely Captain Sun didn’t find the demon core. They worked the whole day and didn’t go back until dark.

They had to pass the Jingshan Mountain’s foothills on the way back, so Ming Shu led her demons and blocked the way. She put a chair in the middle of the road and sat, peeling off some lotus seeds that came from who knew where.

The other demons scattered around her, either in their true shapes or human shapes, forming a luxury lineup.

“You...” Captain Sun’s face blackened as he saw Ming Shu. “What do you want?”

“Relax, I’m not here to fight today.” Ming Shu put two lotus seeds in her mouth with a light and tender smile, like the night wind blowing from the sky afar.

Not to fight? Then what are you doing now with so many demons here?

Ming Shu continued, “I’m here to tell you that the demon core has been shared between us, so you don’t need to look for it. And one more thing, I need you to deliver a letter to your second uncle for me.”

Wait a minute.

What does she mean that the demon core has been shared between them? Deliver what letter to my second uncle?

No, how does she know my second uncle?

Big Bao took out a letter which looked like a wedding invitation card and used demon power to fly it to Captain Sun. The large WEDDING on its cover was very eye-catching.

Wedding card?

Whose wedding?

Captain Sun opened it, full of confusion. Of course it was not a wedding invitation card. It read that she would take her demons to visit his second uncle 10 days from now.

Captain Sun frowned heavily.

“Did you take the demon core?!” Captain Sun averted his eyes from the wedding card and looked at Ming Shu gloomily.

“Not taken, it’s been divided,” Ming Shu corrected him. “They all ate it. Didn’t you find they’ve become more powerful since a few days ago? Come, Big Bear, show your bear power to them.”

The named Big Bear went up one step and roared at them thunderously.

At the demon aura spilling around, the people opposite the demons retreated several steps one after another and revealed odd expressions.

The demon core...

If it was possessed by a demon, the demon alone would have it, so how was it possible that they could share.

Ming Shu chewed the lotus seeds. “Do you believe it now? I won’t cheat you. If I said it was shared, then it was shared, and I didn’t take it for myself.”

Captain Sun’s face turned extremely gloomy. This bear didn’t have such great strength last time, but so much improvement within such a short time, it could only be because of the demon core...

She really dared to share the demon core with these demons.

Seeing that Captain Sun probably believed her, Ming Shu stood up and waved her hand stylishly. “Okay, I’m done. Let’s go now.”

Everyone: “...”

What the hell? You gathered all of us here and put on airs, just for telling them this?

The demons left very quickly and scattered in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the forest. Even Ming Shu was gone in a flash.

The only one that was left was Big Bao, who was moving the chair.

Big Bao and the people looked at each other, then he lifted the chair on his shoulders and ran quickly.

...

Captain Sun didn’t know what Ming Shu wanted to do, and the demon core was also gone, so he had to return to the headquarters quickly and tell the news to Sun Guomao—his second uncle.

Sun Guomao was one of the people responsible for the Evil Spirit Office’s headquarters.

He stared at the red wedding invitation card in his hand with a cold expression.

“What type of demon?”

Captain Sun shook his head. “I looked into her but found nothing. Hua Jian didn’t say anything, either. He filled almost nothing in her file and made her an identity with his limits of authority.”

Sun Guomao closed the card. “Send someone to follow him. You say he is close to her, then something must be on the horizon.”

“Second Uncle, she said she will come to visit... What do you plan to do?”

“Will she really dare to take that many demons and appear in here?” Sun Guomao revealed an indifferent look. “Our headquarters is not a sick cat.”

Clearly Sun Guomao didn’t think Ming Shu would make any difference.

“How about the demon core?”

Captain Sun originally intended to remind Sun Guomao that Ming Shu could not be underestimated, and that maybe she would do anything she liked. But Sun Guomao suddenly asked about the demon core, and he became a little alert. “The demon core... She has shared it with other demons.”

Sun Guomao raised his eyebrows. “What?”

Captain Sun reported what happened in Jingshan Mountain to Sun Guomao, and the latter slapped the table heavily after learning everything. “You can’t even handle such a simple task and even allowed Hua Jian to find out. What on earth is the use of you!”

Hua Jian had reported to the headquarters that Captain Sun went into his jurisdiction in secret. If it weren’t for Sun Guomao, Captain Sun would have been punished for this.

“Second Uncle...” Captain Sun didn’t even dare to breathe and he said in a weak voice, “Hua Jian seems to be investigating Hua Yunjing’s case.”

Sun Guomao’s face darkened. “You should’ve killed that little bastard at that time, now look, you’ve caused yourselves so many troubles, what a waste you all are!”

“Get out,” Sun Guomao said and waved his hand, “find out what that demon is ASAP.”

“... Yes.”

...

Ming Shu returned to Jin Dongyi’s courtyard, a rare occurrence in recent days. Jin Dongyi was sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea when he saw Ming Shu climb over the wall to get in, and grunted, “I thought you wouldn’t come back again.”

Ming Shu smiled. “How is that possible! You have braised meat here.”

Jin Dongyi: “...” She came back for my braised meat?

Ming Shu darted toward the room, but Jin Dongyi also stood up and went to block her. He roared at her with glaring eyes, “What are you doing!”

“I’m hungry. I need meat.”

“You need everything, get out, get out.” Jin Dongyi pushed Ming Shu back outside. “As soon as you get back, you want to eat my braised meat. You might as well not come back.”

“Don’t be so stingy.” Ming Shu caught the door frame. “I’ll just have one bite.”

“One bite will cost me a whole plate of braised meat, don’t you think I know that? Remove your hand, let go!”

The standoff between Ming Shu and Jin Dongyi lasted for a long time, but in the end, Ming Shu was the winner.

Jin Dongyi rolled his eyes at the one enjoying the meat. “What have you been doing lately?”

“Inheriting the throne.”

Jin Dongyi’s mouth twitched. “What throne? Do you think you’re the heir of a country! Even so, there won’t be any throne for you to take in the present times.”

Ming Shu ignored Jin Dongyi, which made the latter get angry and fierce again for another round.

“Hua Jian also appears and disappears mysteriously these days, what are you two doing?”

Actually Jin Dongyi was not eligible to parent Ming Shu. She indeed grew in his courtyard, but she had already been here before he bought the yard.

They were all guests living in this home and were independent individuals.

So it didn’t seem reasonable for Jin Dongyi to ask about much when Ming Shu left.

But Jin Dongyi felt a little anxious in his heart and always felt something was going to happen.

“How would I know what he’s doing...” Ming Shu paused. “Isn’t he investigating how his father died? Old man, what’s your relationship?”
