Chapter 62 The Demon Exorcist Doesn’t Exorcise Demons (22)
Bu Yuchuan launched an attack with a beggar's hairstyle.
Tokiho felt both angry and amused.
She was too lazy to talk to him.
Shi Sui bypassed Bu Yuchuan and went directly to confront the city lord.
"Lord City Lord, my life is in your hands. Whether you take it tonight or tomorrow, it makes no difference to me. But is my life really that important? So important that you can't even wait for two more days until Princess Wenzhu wakes up?"
Shi Sui's eloquent speech convinced the city lord.
The city lord said to Bu Yuchuan, "It's late at night, and the yin energy is already strong, so don't kill anyone. Yuchuan, don't be too impatient when doing things. Look at you tonight...ah, it's a mess. Bai needs to stay in bed for treatment, and the servants coming and going will disturb you. Why don't you stay in my villa tonight? It's been a long time since we last had a good chat."
"Dad!! This woman knows witchcraft and is a disaster! Are we just going to let it go like this?!"
"If you want to execute her, it won't be too late to do so tomorrow after you change your clothes." The city lord waved his hand, "Come on! Take the demon hunter back to her room! Guard her tightly, and don't let her escape again!"
Shisui escaped safely, but the gap between father and son deepened.
She was just waiting for Princess Wenzhu to wake up.
Once the big things are done, the good days of Bu Yuchuan and his son will be over.
When the time comes, the son will be severely beaten by his father, and the father will be driven mad by his son... This kind of scene should be appreciated by everyone.
…
After a night of commotion, the security outside Shisui's room was tightened again. There were three layers of guards inside and outside, so even a fly couldn't get in.
The maid who delivered breakfast today was a new face, and Shisui couldn't help but feel a little more cautious.
The previous food delivery person was a transfer from the Bai family. He would place the food down and leave, returning to collect the boxes for the next meal. Shi Sui would also test for poison with a silver needle as usual, and there had never been any accidents.
But today's new maid just stood there motionless after putting down the food.
Shi Sui and she looked at each other, and the maid was immediately defeated by Shi Sui's sharp eyes.
She lowered her head and dared not look again, her fingers nervously twisting the corners of her clothes, obviously having something to hide.
So Shisui opened the lunch box.
A bowl of porridge and a few steamed buns, nothing unusual looking.
She pulled out a silver needle from her sleeve, poked it into the porridge at lightning speed, retracted it, and then immediately covered the food box and pushed it out.
"I'm not hungry today, you can take it back."
The maid looked up at a loss, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
But under Tokiho's gaze, she didn't even have the courage to say another word.
Shi Sui guessed that the maid was just following orders.
So she even called out to the door, "Guardians outside, please testify for this little girl. It's true that I didn't eat because I had no appetite today. It has nothing to do with her."
The guards outside looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing this, the maid had no choice but to retreat with the food box.
As soon as the door was closed, Shi Sui took out the silver needle and took a look at it - half of it had turned black.
The food is poisonous!
Is Bu Yuchuan so impatient that he wants to kill her?!
Shisui analyzed it in her mind.
Since he didn't even listen to his own father's words and just wanted to kill her to vent his anger, with this abnormal mental state, what else could he not do...
"Monster Contract." Tokiho muttered to herself.
Logically speaking, the monster contract should be in the hands of the city lord.
But now, Bu Yuchuan has gone crazy, and it is really unknown whether he will steal or rob!
…
For two consecutive days, Shisui turned down all the food boxes brought by the servants.
She also left some dry food to fill her stomach so that she wouldn't go hungry.
But Princess Xiaojin is more pitiful. She has never liked eating this. Besides, she has grown taller now, and a little bit of dry food can't fill her stomach at all.
Fortunately, good news came within two days.
Princess Wenzhu finally woke up!
The city lord sent someone to report the news and asked Shisui to move to Princess Wenzhu's room.
good!
Shisui had waited for this moment for too long.
She put on a complete set of exorcist's clothes, took all the talismans and magic tools, and of course, the most important treasure - the demon-subduing gourd!
Surrounded by dozens of fully armed guards, they moved slowly along the corridor, with the servants moving out of the way.
That's really funny.
The scene was so grand that people who didn’t know the situation would think she was the city lord.
There were also many people in Princess Wenzhu's room.
A group of maids, doctors, the city lord, and Bu Yuchuan, who was forced to change his hairstyle, were waiting by.
Princess Wenzhu leaned weakly on the bed and dealt with them.
"Report—the demon exorcist Master Jingci has arrived—"
Shisui stepped into the room and bowed politely to Princess Wenzhu.
"Master Jingci, greetings to Princess Wenzhu!"
"Now that Aunt Wenzhu has woken up, you must follow the agreement and bring the Nine Cloud Fox Demon here. Have him kowtow and admit his mistakes to Aunt Wenzhu! Don't worry, I will lead the soldiers and the iron cage to go out with you to search. If we find it, the cage is holding the Nine Cloud Fox Demon. If we can't find it, then it's you!"
None of the elders had spoken yet, but Bu Yuchuan was already forcing himself into a role and making harsh remarks.
Princess Wenzhu glared at him with disdain, then made a cordial eye contact with Shisui.
"You all go down." Princess Wenzhu raised her hand.
The city lord was confused: "We? Sister, you mean..."
Princess Wenzhu emphasized again, "Leave only the demon slayer here. I need to ask her something in private."
"sister!"
"Aunt!!! This woman is cunning and eccentric, and she's proficient in magic! I'm afraid she might endanger your life!"
"I know my limits. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
Even though Princess Wenzhu was old and sick, her majesty remained.
Faced with the questions from her brother and nephew, she just raised her chin slightly, pointed towards the door of the room, and shut them up.
"Well... the soldiers are all outside. If anything happens, just drop a teacup and we'll be in right away."
Although the city lord was worried, he still followed Princess Wenzhu's wishes and drove Bu Yuchuan away.
Bu Yuchuan was tricked by his aunt and was very angry. He snorted and walked away reluctantly.
After clearing the room, Princess Wenzhu waved to Shisui and asked her to come over.
Princess Wenzhu's tone was slightly reproachful: "Didn't I tell you not to look for the Nine Cloud Fox Demon? Why did you go anyway? I also heard them say that you had him hiding in the desert? I don't believe it. Were you lying to Yuchuan because you were afraid of being dealt with by him..."
Tokiho didn't answer a word.
She just smiled and raised the demon-subduing gourd in her hand.
