Qi Tong suggested to Mu Tiantian that now that a dancer had died, she could become a dancer to get close to Wan Tong, so that she could force the cat demon out of her body.
It was evening.
Seeing that Juechen was sleeping soundly, Mu Tiantian slipped out of his arms and quietly left the room.
She didn't notice that Juechen's eyelids twitched the moment she stepped out of the room.
Mu Tiantian walked into the dark corridor, where some guest rooms still had candlelight.
Seven Commanders: [The cat demon is currently absorbing vital energy.]
Mu Tiantian thought for a moment and decided that she still needed to find some clothes to transform into human form first.
Thump!
A sound of a window slamming came from the next room.
Mu Tiantian, out of curiosity, peeked into the room next door.
Seven: [It seems there's a cat demon. Two demon hunters live next door, and one of them jumped out the window and chased after it.]
Mu Tiantian: [A cat demon?]
Qi Tong: [It's not Wan Tong... how should I put it, it's neither human nor demon, looks like a cat demon but isn't, it's probably a human who was severely influenced by demonic energy, and after killing many people, it was completely transformed into a cat demon by the influence of blood and demonic energy.]
Mu Tiantian: [Since that's the case, I won't go and join the fun. There's also a demon hunter involved; I don't want to get myself caught up in it.]
Qi Tong: [I saw that the cat demon lost a set of clothes, why don't you go check it out?]
Mu Tiantian: [...fairy clothes...]
After an incense stick has burned.
Mu Tiantian arrived at the back alley of the restaurant.
She glanced at the clothes in the moonlight; the white outer garment was stained with mottled blood. "These clothes... are not entirely unacceptable."
These bloodstains must have been splattered there when the cat demon killed someone.
Fortunately, the inner garment was relatively clean.
Mu Tiantian glanced around and, seeing no one, quickly transformed into human form and put on her clothes.
Qi Tong: [I think the demon hunter is returning. Be careful.]
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian took off running.
With a loud bang.
There was a sword stuck in the wall in front of Mu Tiantian.
I was just a hair's breadth away from getting scratched.
Mu Tiantian swallowed nervously.
This demon hunter kills a demon so quickly?
"Demon, I didn't expect there to be another one here." When Wan Mingyu saw a woman suddenly appear in the back alley, wearing the clothes of the cat demon from before, he assumed she was an accomplice of the cat demon.
He failed to catch the cat demon, which escaped; now he can't let its accomplices escape too.
Wan Mingyu quickly jumped in front of Mu Tiantian, holding the gourd in one hand and grabbing Mu Tiantian's neck with the other.
Mu Tiantian quickly covered the mouth of the gourd and shouted, "Hero, spare my life! I...I was just passing by. I don't have a single penny on me. Please don't kill me!"
Mu Tiantian pretended to be an ordinary woman, looking at the man in front of her with a frightened expression; to be precise, he was a boy.
He had delicate features, and his eyes still showed signs of childhood innocence.
When Wan Mingyu saw the woman's appearance, he was stunned for a moment. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyes seemed to sparkle like stars in the moonlight. She was looking at him in a panic.
Seeing that he didn't speak or make any further moves, Mu Tiantian glanced down at the hand gripping her neck.
Her fingers were slender and long, like a woman's hands.
She grasped his wrist, carefully pried it open, and then pressed down the gourd that was meant to be used to capture her.
She took a step to the side, moving further away from the sword, and chuckled, "Good sir, let's talk this out. Why resort to swords?"
Wan Mingyu snapped out of his daze upon hearing her voice, looked her up and down, and indeed found no trace of demonic aura.
He took out his compass and glanced at it, but there was no indication of any demonic energy pointing towards him.
The woman was beautiful, and he couldn't help but take a second look.
My senior brother told me that none of the female demons were ugly; they were all as beautiful as celestial beings, and they loved to trick men into draining their life essence.
However, he had seen female demons before, and not all of them were beautiful. In fact, most of them looked just so-so, with a bewitching and eerie appearance, at most a little prettier than ordinary women.
But the woman before him was truly as beautiful as a fairy, even more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen.
My senior brother said that if I really encounter a stunningly beautiful woman, I must be careful, because if she is a vixen that I cannot recognize, then I am doomed.
The woman is wearing the cat demon's clothes; whether she is human or demon remains to be seen.
Thinking of this, Wan Mingyu asked warily, "Who are you and how did you get here? And what's with the clothes you're wearing?"
Mu Tiantian's eyes darted around before she said, her face streaked with tears, "Young master, you don't know this, but I originally lived in a remote mountain village. My family was so poor we couldn't even afford food, so my father sold me to someone. Who knew the person who bought me would sell me to a brothel? I refused and ran away. On the way, I was even robbed by bandits who tried to rape me... I... I..."
Mu Tiantian squeezed out two tears, putting her acting skills to the extreme, making them even more real than pearls.
Qi Tong couldn't help but exclaim: "This guy has really acted in a lot of plays; he's got plenty of experience."
Seeing such a beautiful woman crying uncontrollably, Wan Mingyu felt a pang of pity and was instantly filled with protective instincts and sympathy.
He told himself to stay calm and not to trust others too easily.
At that moment, he noticed the Buddhist prayer beads she was wearing around her neck.
It is in excellent condition, and one can vaguely sense a touch of Buddhist aura.
How could someone who wears Buddhist prayer beads be a demon?
Wan Mingyu realized that he had gone too far just now, and seeing her crying so hard, he started to panic.
Not knowing how to comfort her, he hurriedly said, "Girl, don't...don't cry. If you need any help, I'll help you. Don't be afraid. Where is that robber? I'll kill him for you!"
Seeing that he was so indignant and didn't pursue the matter further, Mu Tiantian wiped away her tears.
He saw that her eyes were red and she looked pitiful, and his heart stirred slightly.
She composed herself, her voice choked with emotion, "Thank you for your kindness, young master. I've already shaken off that robber. He... tore my clothes... When I was running away, I saw a set of clothes on the ground, so I... I..."
Hearing this, Wan Mingyu understood and looked guilty. "I'm sorry, miss. I'm a demon hunter. Just now, a demon escaped, and I accidentally mistook you for that cat demon's accomplice. Don't worry, miss, with me here, no one will dare to bully you. I'll take you wherever you need to go."
"I wouldn't dare trouble you, young master, I..." Mu Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "I'm looking for a way to make a living... but I don't know if there are any around here..."
Wan Mingyu scratched his head, looked up at the moon, and said to her, "It's too late now. How about this, you come with me first, and I'll help you find it tomorrow?"
"I heard that this restaurant is looking for dancers. I can dance a few dances myself. I wonder if you could ask them for me?"
Originally, Mu Tiantian wanted to go find Wan Tong herself, but this demon hunter seemed very willing to help her.
It's so late, if she, a young woman, refuses too obviously, he might become suspicious. It's better to let him be a good person to the end.
Without thinking twice, Wan Mingyu agreed immediately when she made the request, "Okay, I'll go ask for you."
"Thank you, young master."
Mu Tiantian followed Wan Mingyu into the restaurant.
at the same time.
Juechen felt something was missing from his arms and opened his eyes.
