Chapter 24 My Wife is a Vixen 24
A-Yuan kept looking at her, while Ji Huaizhi kept looking at the mother and daughter.
After having a tiring time, Ji Huaizhi found an inn in advance to rest and recuperate. There was a lantern festival tonight, and he was exhausted from staying outside all the time.
At this moment, the mature Chizuru next door was talking to her junior brother.
"The lantern festival will definitely be lively tonight, but it's also prone to accidents. If you encounter anything, don't make a big fuss to avoid a stampede. It's best to move to a less crowded area."
"Understood, Senior Brother."
"There will be many children tonight. Besides the playful demons, the demons that are said to love eating children will probably come too."
The others nodded, thinking it was possible.
"If he appears, we must eliminate him so that the people can live in peace." Another man in white finished speaking and then looked at Qianhe: "Senior brother, you mentioned before that some demons don't have any blood on their bodies..."
"If there is no killing involved, do not harm the innocent," Chizuru repeated.
“But we are exorcists.” The man didn’t understand.
"Exorcists are not a reason for us to harm the innocent." Qianhe now has some say in the Exorcism Sect.
However, his abilities are negligible, and many people neither understand nor support his words.
Qianhe was talking about how a few years ago someone took in a wolf demon, but no one expected that the Demon Extermination Sect would be attacked by the wolf king that very night, resulting in heavy losses on both sides.
The wolf king tore the person who killed the wolf demon to pieces.
They also took several junior disciples hostage and confronted the elders of the Demon Extermination Sect.
This caused quite a stir at the time.
The Wolf King came with the determination to die, saying that the Demon Extermination Sect indiscriminately killed innocent people, bullied the weak and feared the strong, and only eliminated kind little demons instead of vicious ones.
Because of this incident, Chizuru immediately stepped forward to negotiate with the Wolf King.
This means that from now on, the only demons to be eliminated will be those that have harmed humans.
I will never touch a demon who has no sins.
On the surface, he was acting for the safety of his fellow disciples, but in reality, this incident also elevated his status.
The junior brothers he saved all respected him greatly.
However, the sect split into two factions: one was Chizuru and his group, and the other believed that exorcists should eliminate all demons and felt that he had made such a statement on his own initiative.
"Brother Qianhe is right. In fact, some demons are very kind. If we eliminate demons that have not done evil, it is actually an indiscriminate killing of innocents."
"Looking at it from another perspective, we have also committed acts of killing."
"Our most important task now is to catch that child-eating thief."
At night, the streets are brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Chizuru was a step behind when he went out. Just as he closed the door and was about to go downstairs, he was bumped into by a child running out from next door. He quickly reached out to help the child, but suddenly froze when he touched the child's body.
"Thank you, big brother. I would have fallen if it weren't for you."
Ji Ling smiled sweetly at him.
Chizuru released her hand expressionlessly: "This is not a place for you. Go back to Qingtai Mountain."
Ji Ling's eyes widened upon hearing this: "How did you know I came from Qingtai Mountain?"
She leaned closer and sniffed: "You smelled it?"
Chizuru took a step back.
Without saying anything more, I went downstairs, where mischievous little demons were everywhere.
Especially today.
"This older brother is really strange."
"Ling'er, don't run around, there are too many people outside." A-Yuan came out and pulled her back.
His expression was somewhat serious: "Do you still remember what your parents said? Don't run around alone, or it will be very difficult to find someone if you get lost."
“Your father is right, you should be tied up with a rope.”
"Mommy, I was wrong." Ji Ling said coquettishly, "Don't tie me up, it makes me look like a dog."
"Then be good and don't make us angry. Today may be fun, but a lot of bad people will try to kidnap children tonight."
"You're playing the victim, right? Wang Xiaohu told me about it!" Ji Ling wasn't afraid at all: "Then I'll beat him to death!"
As he spoke, he took out his whip.
As soon as Ji Huaizhi came out, he saw her aggressive look: "We're not worried if you run into a flower seller."
"But arresting children is not just about catching beggars."
A-Yuan also lectured her: "There are always people more capable than you, and there are always people more capable than you. You're just a kid, how capable do you think you are?"
They gave her a final ultimatum: "If you really don't listen, your father and I will take you back immediately, and we will never let you leave the mountain again."
"Okay, I won't make a fuss anymore."
Ji Ling put away the whip: "I promise I won't leave your side for even a moment."
As Ji Ling went downstairs, she thought of the man in black: "Father, Mother, someone just told me to go back to Qingtai Mountain, saying that this is not a place for me to stay."
A-Yuan looked at the man: "Husband."
"Only demons and demon exorcists can tell her identity."
Ah Yuan held her daughter's hand: "Tonight is going to be very lively."
Ji Huaizhi and A Yuan played with her, and Ji Ling saw many children sitting on their fathers' shoulders, so she was also eager to try it.
"You should feel sorry for your father." Ji Huaizhi turned her head.
The three of them skipped dinner, saving their stomachs for snacks.
Ji Ling finds everything fascinating, wants everything she sees, and wants to eat everything.
If they ate something good, they would insist on taking it back to their aunt and their servants.
Then I saw the lanterns at the stall again, and I insisted on having one with a fox on it.
As Chizuru and her fellow disciple approached, she immediately spotted the child from the inn, and those around her also recognized her.
There's a little demon there.
"The couple next to them must also be... This world is really strange, even fairies can come out to stroll through the lantern festival now."
Chizuru looked at the couple, and their relationship was as harmonious as in previous years.
They never expected that the child was their child.
No wonder he looked familiar; I thought all foxes looked like that.
"Don't disturb them," Chizuru said.
Ji Huaizhi looked over at that moment, and their eyes met.
Qianhe cupped his hands in greeting, and Ji Huaizhi gave a slight nod in return.
After leaving, A-Yuan turned back and asked, "Husband, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just saw someone I know." Ji Huaizhi looked at the hands of the mother and daughter: "Have you chosen?"
"Yes." The two nodded at the same time, overjoyed.
They looked and moved exactly the same.
Ji Ling chose a fox lantern, and A Yuan chose a lotus lantern.
Ji Huaizhi willingly paid the money, and then he saw that they wanted to buy masks.
The two chose different fox masks, but Ji Ling's face was too small and the mask was too big, making it look somewhat comical.
The mask on A Yuan's face was quite suitable, covering half of her stunningly beautiful face and leaving much to the imagination.
"Father, choose one too."
A-Yuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, husband, you should choose one too."
The stall owner chuckled and said, "Yes, you've already chosen a wife and children, so you should also choose one for yourself to take along and have some fun. These heartwarming moments are rare."
Ji Huaizhi smiled and picked out a silver mask with incomprehensible patterns on it.
It's not bad, though.
The three of them were playing and strolling along when suddenly a commotion broke out ahead.
