In a remote alley, a cute little girl was squatting on the ground playing. A man wrapped in a black cloak walked through the alley and passed by the little girl.
When the man walked over, the little girl had disappeared.
This little girl was transformed by Xue Huan's magic. This time, the strategy she and Xiao Jue formulated to catch the monster was to pretend to be a little girl, be taken away by the monster that specialized in catching children, infiltrate the enemy, and then eliminate the monster in one fell swoop.
The first step is to pretend to be a little girl, but how to ensure that she will be noticed by the monster and captured?
After analysis, Xue Huan discovered that the children who had been captured before were all very fair, cute, and beautiful. This shows that the monster likes this kind of children.
Of course, fair, cute, delicate and beautiful children are welcome wherever they go.
Then Xue Huan transformed herself, shrinking several times, and turned into a child, about four or five years old, looking like a fairy child walking out of a scroll.
This appearance should be in line with the monster's standard for catching children.
Afterwards, in order to ensure that she could be captured smoothly, she specially chose a remote and deserted alley, squatted there to play, and waited for the monster to catch her.
Sure enough, not long after, she was captured by the monster...'s men.
The one who captured her was a small demon, not very powerful, but there should be more than one such small demon. The demon she really wanted to eliminate was probably a big demon with relatively strong power. He acted very cautiously and would not show up easily. He only sent some small demons to run errands for him.
Xue Huan and Xiao Jue actually already had guesses about the monster's hiding place and even its identity. It was Zhang Qiuyue, the new imperial teacher who had recently gained great trust from the emperor.
So why didn't she just sneak into the palace and catch him?
Of course Xue Huan had tried it. She followed Xiao Jue secretly into the palace, only to discover that the emperor had been poisoned by a Gu. She didn't know what kind of Gu it was, but what she could find out was that this Gu had controlled the emperor's life and death.
There is no doubt that this was a curse placed on the emperor by the great demon. Once the great demon gets into trouble, the emperor will also die.
Xue Huan wished the emperor would die, but the emperor could not be killed by her, not directly or indirectly. Otherwise, she would have killed the emperor directly long ago. Why would she need to plan slowly like she is now?
The emperor is the leader of the human race, and all the luck of the human race is concentrated in him. If she kills him, she will inevitably suffer backlash. This backlash may cause her to die directly, or it may prevent her from making any progress in her cultivation for the rest of her life. In short, the consequences will be very serious, unless her own luck is better than the emperor's.
But this is probably a bit difficult.
So she decided not to gamble and took a slower but safer approach to revenge.
She clearly wanted the emperor to die, but in order to avoid being harmed by his luck, she still had to consider his life. This was such a fucked-up thing.
Before removing the Gu from the emperor's body, Xue Huan must not resort to violence to deal with the monster, otherwise the monster will drag the emperor to be buried with it, and she will not be in a good situation either.
In that case, she could only adopt a roundabout tactic.
Xue Huan was carried into the palace by the little demon. Her body remained unconscious, but her consciousness was outside her body, paying attention to the surrounding situation all the way.
After Zhang Qiuyue was named the national teacher, he had his own palace in the palace. After he moved in, the name of the palace was changed to "Qiuyue Palace", named after himself.
Qiuyue Palace is close to the north gate of the imperial city, and one can enter and exit the palace directly from here.
Now, the north gate has been controlled by Zhang Qiuyue's "people", of course, this has also been tacitly approved by the emperor.
This behavior was simply insane. Didn't the emperor himself realize it? No, the emperor certainly knew that this behavior was inappropriate, but his desire for immortality and youth overwhelmed everything.
Today, the north city gate has become a gathering place for demons, filled with smoke and evil spirits.
A little demon in a black cloak carried a black bag stuffed with several children, entered from the north gate, and returned to Qiuyue Palace.
The servants in the palace were all little demons under Zhang Qiuyue. When they saw the little demons coming back, they came over and asked without any concealment, "How many did you get this time?"
The little demon opened the black bag, revealing several fair and tender children inside. The black bag was made of snake skin, which had a certain spatial effect. The inside was much larger than it actually looked. Several children were stuffed inside, but no clues could be seen from the outside.
A group of little demons came up, stared at the child inside, and slurped their saliva.
“It smells so good!”
“It looks delicious.”
"I wonder if I can get a hand this time."
"I think children's brains are the best. They're so tender and smooth. I got a bite last time and I still can't forget it."
A group of little demons surrounded the child in the bag, discussing enthusiastically which part of the child was the most delicious. Xue Huan was so furious when she heard this that she wanted to jump out and cut them into pieces.
A little demon of higher status came over and scolded, "Alright, stop gathering here and send these kids in quickly. Grandpa is still waiting."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
The little demon carried a black bag and walked into the deepest hall. Inside the hall stood a cauldron half the height of a person. Zhang Qiuyue was sitting cross-legged in front of the cauldron, refining an elixir.
But it was not the rejuvenation elixir that the emperor was expecting, but the blood spirit elixir.
The Blood Spirit Pill requires the flesh and blood of at least 49 children to be refined. After it is refined, taking it can greatly increase the monster's cultivation level.
As for the anti-aging elixir, it was just Zhang Qiuyue's trick to fool the emperor.
There are indeed elixirs in this world that can restore youth and restore the appearance of white skin and youth, but this kind of high-level elixir requires countless natural treasures to be refined, and the alchemist must be at least at the level of the Alchemy Emperor.
There are ten levels of alchemists from low to high, namely, Alchemy Apprentice, Alchemy Master, Great Alchemy Master, Alchemy Master, Alchemy King, Alchemy Emperor, Alchemy Master, Alchemy Emperor, Alchemy Immortal, and Alchemy God.
In other words, it has to reach at least sixth gear.
Zhang Qiuyue, a wild monster who hadn't received any formal education, couldn't possibly be that skilled in alchemy. It barely reached the level of an alchemist.
The anti-aging pills and the invincible pills he had given to the emperor before were nothing more than some medicinal residues after alchemy, wrapped with poisonous insects.
After taking the pill, the insect naturally entered the emperor's body.
As the saying goes, if you want to get something, you must first give it. In order to make the emperor believe that the elixir she gave him was extremely effective, Zhang Qiuyue remotely controlled the insect, allowing the emperor to briefly experience the pleasure of becoming younger and more virile.
When the emperor could no longer stop, he quickly canceled this service.
When the emperor wanted to continue taking the elixir, it meant that he had taken the bait.
Next, it is time for Zhang Qiuyue to reap the fruits and do whatever she wants.
