She frowned and asked the people behind her, "Did you hear the cat meowing inside just now?"
Shen Youshu was so scared that she pinched her sleeves and said, "What cat meow? I didn't hear anything. Sister Leng, could you have heard it wrong?"
Because they were attacked by wild cats before, several people are now afraid of cats.
Tian Feiyu sneered and said, "Junior sister, don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't hear any cat meowing at all. We have been hanging around on the street for most of the day. If we don't find a room to stay in, it will be dark soon."
She heard several people behind her objecting, but she still insisted on her own opinion in her heart. She has always been sensitive to small animals and it is impossible for her to have heard it wrong.
Could something have happened to the missing boy?
Oh, right, the cat's meow!
Thinking of how they had just been attacked by cats on the street, Leng Qingning became anxious and no longer cared about being rude. She said "Sorry" to the door and kicked the wooden door open and rushed in. Ye Qingzhu and Bai Xichen followed closely behind her.
Ji Lize frowned slightly and followed them in.
Shen Youshu looked at Lu Yan and the others and said hesitantly, "Is it not good for us to break into someone else's yard without permission?"
Lu Yan also felt that Leng Qingning's behavior was really impolite. After all, most of the people living here were mortals. What was the difference between doing this and breaking into a private house?
He hesitated and said, "Although it's not good, Junior Sister Leng and Senior Brothers and Sisters have already gone in, so let's follow them in."
When they went in, the young man was nowhere to be found in the yard.
Shen Youshu exclaimed: "How could this happen? Why did the person disappear?"
Ye Qingzhu said: "Let's act separately. We'll go into the house and take a look, and you guys search in the yard." She grabbed Bai Xichen who wanted to retreat, and the dead tiger quickly rushed into the house, while the others searched in the yard.
They searched almost the entire room and courtyard, but still found no trace of the young man.
Zuo Shaoqian was a little tired from searching, so he leaned aside and gasped for breath. "How could this happen? Did this person disappear out of thin air?"
Leng Qingning, who was resting, glanced inadvertently towards the gate. Not far from the gate, there seemed to be a few strands of animal hair lying on the ground.
She walked over suspiciously and picked up the strands of black hair, which looked a bit like cat and dog hair. Her actions were seen by Ji Lize who was standing beside her.
Ji Li Ze glanced at the hair in her hand and said thoughtfully, "What if he had left long ago?"
The boy looked along the wall into the distance. If the boy was not a human, if they looked inside from the angle of the gate, it would be difficult to see whether he climbed over the wall to leave.
Ye Qingzhu immediately rejected his point of view. "But, he is a mortal with no cultivation. If he jumps over the wall, there should be a sound. We will definitely hear it from outside."
"Really? Then don't forget, our mission this time is to investigate the cat demon. Anything is possible. If you were standing where I am now, and the gate was closed, could you see those wild cats sneaking into the yard, Senior Sister Ye?"
The two of them immediately started to confront each other, and Shen Youshu and the other two subconsciously distanced themselves from them.
Leng Qingning wavered suspiciously between Senior Sister Ye and Ji Lize. She had always felt that the two had been at odds with each other in the past. However, she was never too lazy to pay attention to other people's affairs, but these few strands of cat hair...
Leng Qingning deliberately walked to the corner with her back to everyone else, pinching her throat and speaking in a voice that was so delicate and artificial that even she couldn't bear to hear it.
"Brother Yan Ci~"
The little black snake in his sleeve suddenly arched its body. He raised his black head warily and said in a very vigilant tone, "You woman, you suddenly went crazy. Are you up to something bad again?"
Fortunately, Yan Ci's snake body is pure black, otherwise if he were in human form, his cheeks would have turned red.
During the years when he was the Demon King, no demon had ever dared to speak to him like this. The demon clan's bloodline suppression was the strongest, and they couldn't help but surrender or feel fear when they saw him. This was the first time someone had called him such a disgusting name.
Leng Qingning was almost nauseated by her own cheesiness. It seemed that not everyone could be a green tea girl, but she still managed to suppress her cheesiness and said:
"I'm not crazy, I just want to ask the most handsome brother Yan Ci for a favor~ Brother Yan Ci is so shy, could it be that he has never been in a relationship~"
The little black snake in the sleeve almost fell off her wrist. The hateful woman actually dared to mock him. As the demon king, what kind of woman could he not capture with just a wave of his hand?
A sly smirk suddenly appeared on Leng Qingning's face. She seemed to have found a way to control this stinky snake.
"Brother Yan Ci, could it be that what they said was true?"
"How...how is this possible? There are so many people chasing after me. What do you want to say?" The little black snake twisted its body unnaturally.
"Can you help me see what kind of animal's hair this is?"
"That's enough. Stop talking to me in that tone. Can't I help you?"
Leng Qingning, whose plan succeeded, showed two small fangs, with a triumphant smile on his face. He didn't expect that this stinky snake had lived for thousands of years and had never been in love. Now that he knew his little secret, he thought, "Isn't this enough to control you?"
When no one was paying attention, she quietly pinched the strand of hair and stuffed it into her sleeve.
The little black snake leaned in to sniff the hair, its cold nose accidentally touching Leng Qingning's finger. "This is cat hair, but it's strange. Why does it smell like a human?"
The cold touch made Leng Qingning inexplicably dazed. Suddenly, the enchantingly handsome face of Yan Ci in human form appeared in her mind...
"Leng Qingning, are you crazy? Why are you thinking so much nonsense?" She quickly shook her head to get rid of the random images in her mind.
Suddenly, the images of the cats attacking them on the street flashed through her mind. When a human expression appeared on her face, a bold idea suddenly popped up in her mind.
[Yan Ci, when that young man came out just now, did you sense any demonic aura?]
Yan Ci, who was wrapped around her wrist, was teased by her and said to her in a somewhat unnatural voice: "Ahem, if you want to ask if that young man just now is a demon, I can tell you clearly that he is not."
Now we are at a stalemate again.
Yan Ci then added, "However, it seems that a great demon has cursed him." His small black head tried hard to recall all the corresponding spells.
Leng Qingning was even more agitated now. "Curse? How could a mere mortal like him offend a great demon?" She had only come down the mountain to complete an assessment mission. The cat demon was already scary enough, and now she had to be told that there was a great demon here. Mom, it's too scary outside. She really wanted to run back to the sect now!
Thinking of the wild cats that had besieged them before, everyone showed human expressions on their faces and looked at them resentfully.
