Chapter 43 The Demon Exorcist Doesn’t Exorcise Demons (3)
"stop!!!"
The patrolling soldiers were chasing after a man wrapped in a black robe.
Shisui observed secretly and deduced from the running posture and screams of the person being chased that it should be a woman.
And she seemed to be holding something like a bundle in her arms. From the appearance, it looked like a baby about one or two years old.
It looks quite pitiful, but without knowing the whole story, Shisui will not act rashly.
Who knows if that woman has committed some heinous crime?
She watched them chasing each other on the uncovered street quietly from the rooftop, just like watching a play.
The woman didn't run far before she ran out of energy and was caught up.
The soldiers cornered her and shouted, "Great! You've been hiding for so many days, and today we finally caught you! Hand over the little princess! Hand over the little princess and we'll spare your life!"
But the woman was extremely stubborn, gritting her teeth and cursing, "Dream on! Even if I die, I won't hand the little princess over to you beasts!"
She bent down and used her body to protect the baby in her arms.
No matter how the soldiers kicked and hit her, she never moved.
The leading soldier spat on the ground. "Tsk, you're really a man who won't cry until you're buried! Do you think the little princess is your ticket to immortality?! The lord has said that anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
The soldier raised the sword in his hand high, shining brightly in the dark night, emitting murderous aura.
He wanted to kill the woman and the baby she was carrying!
At this time, Sui couldn't bear it anymore.
They even killed babies. Is this the quality of the soldiers in the village?! Do they have human blood in their bones?!
Shisui pulled out a talisman from her sleeve, chanted a string of spells, and then used her magic power to send the talisman over!
I hope this time it will be more powerful and not too hard, otherwise a monster will appear!
The talisman flew straight over with a whoosh, and after it landed, a small tornado suddenly appeared on the street where the wind was already blowing strongly.
Shisui breathed a sigh of relief. With the experience from last time, she was able to gradually control the magic power in her body.
The soldiers were thrown off their guard by the sudden small tornado.
Small and large pieces of sand and gravel flew in a clockwise direction, making it impossible for them to open their eyes. Their whole bodies felt painful as if they had been beaten by countless fists.
The trapped woman was quite clever. Taking advantage of the chaos, she managed to crawl out from under the soldiers' feet.
Tokiho took the opportunity to jump down from the roof. Under the cover of the tornado, she grabbed the woman under the armpits and quickly pulled her and the baby onto the roof.
She led the woman and jumped from several rooftops until they were far away from the pursuing soldiers and confirmed that they were temporarily safe, then she let them down.
The three of them hid under an abandoned city wall, just enough to block the flying sand from behind.
The woman was obviously still in shock and hugged the baby in her arms even tighter.
The baby was making a faint whimpering sound.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you." Shisui took off the black mask on her face. "It's so late, why are you running for your life with a baby? And I think I heard those soldiers say something about...little princess?"
Although Shisui tried her best to appear kind, the woman was extremely vigilant and refused to say a word.
Shi Sui was helpless. She took out a few talismans from her sleeve and threatened her deliberately: "If you refuse to tell me, I have plenty of ways."
"Demon Exorcist?! Are you the demon exorcist the city lord found?!"
When the woman saw these talismans, she was so frightened that her face turned as if it were dyed with seven or eight different colors, red and blue. She was many times more nervous than when she met the soldiers just now.
He was even ready to run away.
Her reaction was very strange to Shisui.
After being saved, even if I didn’t thank the “benefactor” immediately, I wouldn’t be so resistant to the three words “exorcist”.
Unless... she, or the baby she was carrying, was not human at all!
Tokiho held her shoulders tightly with her hands and opened her Dharma eyes.
Her black pupils turned a fiery crimson, gleaming with orange light.
I saw...
Tokiho saw through her magical eyes that the "baby" in the woman's arms was actually a little fox demon! !
At the same time, she also smelled blood, and the little fox demon was injured!
Princess Wenzhu's lover, Jiuyun, is a large fox demon, and the mysterious woman is holding a small fox demon...
Tokiho narrowed her eyes, thinking that there might be some connection between the two.
So Shi Sui decisively said, "It's true that the city lord brought me back, but I didn't follow his orders. I also know that Princess Wenzhu doesn't hate the Nine Cloud Fox Demon, and it wasn't her idea to seal the fox demon away."
After hearing this, the woman finally calmed down a little.
She looked at Shisui with doubt and distrust.
"Let me see the little fox demon," Shisui stretched out her hands, making her attitude clear, "Even if you don't give it to me, I am absolutely capable of killing her. And she is injured, right? I can save her."
The woman struggled internally for a long time, but finally she carefully untied the bag in her arms.
When Shisui opened the blanket and saw the true appearance of the child inside, her eyes widened.
You could say she was a fox demon, but she had a pink, chubby human face; you could say she was a baby, but she had fox ears and nine furry red tails.
This... is clearly a half-demon!!!
Her left palm was obviously pierced by a blunt object and was bleeding.
The little half-demon twisted restlessly, its crying was not loud and the tone was different from that of a human. It sounded more like the cry of a fox.
"I guess I accidentally got this when I was running away just now."
Tokiho took out a talisman from her sleeve and infused it with magical power.
The woman protected the half-demon with her hands and shouted, "What do you want?!"
"A demon exorcist can not only exorcise demons, but also heal them!"
Tokiho muttered something, and the talisman gently floated to the place where the half-demon was injured, emitting a soft light.
After the light disappeared, the little half-demon's wound had healed miraculously.
The child also laughed happily and made "mua, mua" sounds.
So soft and cute, Tokiho's heart melted just by looking at her!
"You and the soldiers call her the little princess," Tokiho continued to ask the woman, "What is the identity of this half-demon?"
The woman fell silent again.
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I was originally going to help you escape Huitou Village for the sake of this little cutie, but now you're on your own."
Shisui shook her sleeves and pretended to leave.
Some people are very hard-headed and will not respond to soft words, so they must be dealt with by retreating in order to advance.
Sure enough, under the pressure of the soldiers' pursuit sounds that sounded again nearby, the woman finally let go.
"This little princess is the daughter of Princess Wenzhu..."
