It was already 3 p.m. when Su Rui woke up.
"You finally woke up!"
The maid named "Lotus" who was transformed from a little fox demon was standing by. When she saw Su Rui open his eyes, she asked.
"How long have I slept?" Suri asked.
"One day and one night! By the way, I have to report to your mother..." The little fox demon answered and turned to find Madam Su.
"No hurry, go get me some water so I can wash up!" Su Rui called her over. He didn't want to see Madam Su yet. After that fight, Su Rui still hadn't figured out how to explain his secret to Magistrate Su, Madam Su, and the others.
After a simple wash, he felt refreshed and his spirits were more abundant than ever before.
He immediately activated the "Mori Golden Light Pupil" and tried it out. Not only did he see no abnormalities, but he actually had a premonition that he would soon reach full perfection, and he couldn't help but feel delighted. This unique technique had helped him immensely. Even with just a small degree of mastery, he was able to completely subdue the wolf demon and even posed a threat to the suspected greater snake demon. If he could cultivate it to full perfection and refine a ray of true solar fire, the fight against the snake demon wouldn't be so brutal.
Afterwards, he circulated the pure Yang internal energy in his body again and found that it was flowing smoothly without any obstacles.
After confirming that he was fine, he turned his attention to the spoils and asked "Lotus" who was standing by:
"The corpse of the snake demon..."
"It's been taken away by a scholar from the Emei Sect!" The little fox demon knew what he wanted to ask and answered directly, "That demonic snake mainly hides in the tombs of the dead and relies on absorbing corpse qi and dead energy to cultivate. The inner elixir of the corpse is full of filthy evil energy. You haven't cultivated true qi, so you can't touch it at all. It's good that he took it away, so that this place will not be invaded by its filthy evil energy."
Su Rui was still thinking about taking the snake demon's head to the City God Temple to exchange for treasures, but after hearing this, he gave up the idea and asked, "Where are the bodies of the wolf demons?"
"Captain Wu moved it to the front yard, and we don't know where it is. If you want to know where it is, you'll have to ask him!" Su Rui was a little anxious when he heard this. This was the profit he had worked so hard to obtain. If Captain Wu took it and burned it or buried it, then the duck that was about to be caught would fly away! How could this be possible!
Su Rui didn't ask any more questions and ran straight to the front yard to find Captain Wu. When he got there, he happened to see him arranging for the officers to move the wolf demon's body to the morgue where corpses were usually kept, so he chased after him.
"Boss Wu..." Su Rui shouted from a distance.
When Captain Wu heard his voice, he stopped, looked back at him, and said with concern: "Good boy, you are finally awake!"
Su Rui nodded in response and looked at the wolf demon corpses beside him. At this time, they had all revealed their original forms, which were huge evil wolves wearing human clothes.
"The news of your single-handed battle against a group of monsters has spread throughout the county government. These are your spoils of war. I was just planning to find an open place to store them!" Captain Wu said in a muffled voice when he saw that his mind was focused on the wolf monster's corpse.
"Oh, there's still a blue wolf that's still alive. It was taken away by the City God last night! Now that you're awake, it's up to you to decide what to do with the remaining wolf demon corpses! But decide quickly, or it'll start to stink if left for another day!"
"Boss Wu, please help me send them to the City God Temple! I want to take them to the City God Temple to exchange for treasures!" Su Rui asked for help without hesitation after hearing this.
Captain Wu said okay and arranged for the officers to push over several wooden carts that were usually used to transport corpses, and put the wolf demon's body on them.
Su Rui roughly counted them; there were ten wolf carcasses in total. Adding the blue wolf that had already been sent to the City God Temple, he actually faced eleven vicious wolves in that battle!
Thinking about it now, he found it incredible. Where did he get the courage to fight ten people alone?
This suddenly reminded him of a mysterious Earth Spirit Pearl the little fox demon had given him. He'd survived that battle thanks to the mysterious woman within the pearl, who had cast two Vajra Mantras on him. Otherwise, he would have been ripped apart by the wolf demon, not to mention the snake demon. However, he searched his entire body but couldn't find any trace of the Earth Spirit Pearl. Deep down, he knew the little fox demon must have secretly taken it back!
"What a wonderful treasure, it's a pity it's not mine!" Su Rui felt secretly regretful in his heart.
After Captain Wu was ready, he accompanied Su Rui out of the county government gate and swaggered towards the City God Temple.
Because they were not covered, the corpses of the wolf demons attracted a lot of onlookers and cheers from the people along the way.
When the snake demon led a pack of wolves to invade the county government office, demonic chaos broke out in other parts of the city, resulting in numerous casualties. Fortunately, Tongqu County was a city known for its martial virtues and hunters, and they eventually managed to defeat several demons through a massive wave of human beings. While these attacks were usually resolved one or two at a time, the discovery of ten demon carcasses at once was truly astonishing.
Along the way, someone asked who had killed the wolf demon. Su Rui simply said that everyone in the county yamen worked together to kill it, and he didn't dare to take any credit. It wasn't that he was afraid of being remembered or envied, but the onlookers wouldn't believe him if he told the truth. It would be better to put the blame on the county yamen staff to increase the prestige of the county yamen and give County Magistrate Su another achievement.
On the other side, old man Zhao Zhuan had just returned to the county town with his daughter Zhao Qiong and apprentice Chen Feng. He suddenly saw Su Rui and a group of officers transporting the wolf demon's corpse through the streets, so he hurried over, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Captain Wu and his men.
Old Zhao Zhuan had no choice but to shout to Su Rui from a distance: "Little brother, Alliance Leader Wei asked me to come find you..."
Su Rui waved to Captain Wu, indicating that they were acquaintances and there was no need to be on guard.
