Chapter 95 Your family's sacred beast doesn't want you anymore~
As expected, the dark red sun gave way to the moon, which now hung high in the sky.
At this moment, the Xue family mansion was completely silent. They had a curfew rule, and after nightfall, no one was allowed to move around freely except for the patrol team.
It seems that they have quite a few obedient and well-behaved children in their family.
The treetops twitched slightly, and a dark shadow swept by.
A young member of the patrol team looked up alertly and saw a small sparrow flutter its wings and fly out from between the branches, moving to another tree.
"Fifth brother, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just a bird."
"Alright, don't be too nervous. Our Xue family is protected by the sacred beast, so we'll be fine."
"Sigh! I just didn't get enough sleep during the day, so I'm not going out to play tomorrow morning."
"Alright, let's go, let's go."
The patrol team quickly moved to other locations, and where they had just been, the shadow at the base of the wall suddenly changed, and a demon and a beast emerged from it.
Jingdian whispered a reply in Su Yu's ear, because its clone was a super juvenile body with a terrifyingly low cultivation level, and it couldn't even transmit its voice.
"It's not here, let's go check over there."
With a flick of its paw, it pointed in the direction the patrol team had just gone.
"Uh, then let's wait a bit, and go check after they leave." Jingdian also felt that what she had just said was a bit problematic, so she tried to justify herself.
Su Yu patted the little leopard on her shoulder to make it hold on tight, and then followed far behind the patrol team.
Su Yu's cultivation level was much higher than that of these patrol teams. At this moment, he concealed his aura and hid in the shadows, so no demons discovered his presence.
At this moment, the squad ahead encountered another squad, and they stopped patrolling for a brief intelligence exchange.
Su Yu naturally didn't move either. After looking around, she squatted down in the corner of the room.
His expression held a subtle sadness.
The matter of squatting in the corner needs to be kept quiet by Jingdian.
This absolutely must not be leaked.
Suddenly, a heavy weight came down on my shoulder.
Su Yu's brow twitched:
"Shh—I can smell it. This house seems to belong to Xue Er. Let me peek through the window."
Su Yu: ...Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
He yanked the little leopard off his shoulder and held it tightly in his arms, gritting his teeth as he transmitted his voice:
Jingdian:? ? ?
Jingdian stopped struggling, opened her eyes wide, and meowed in dissatisfaction: "Let me see what's wrong? I'm a female too!"
"I'm just trying to know my enemy and know myself, so I'll never be defeated! She doesn't get along with my Xiaoshuang, so I'm just scouting out the enemy!"
Su Yu: ? ? ?
His hand, which had been trying to cover the crystal-clear nose and kiss to stop it from making a sound, froze in mid-air. He looked down in alarm, almost letting out a sound:
He suddenly didn't know how to hug her without offending her.
You don't need to pay too much attention to monsters, but these monsters are born with intelligence.
Seeing Su Yu's hand holding it freeze, Jing Dian snorted triumphantly and disdainfully. He was about to press on and take advantage of the boy's confusion to trick him into standing still and helping him scout out the enemy's situation from the window.
The two patrol teams, who had not yet separated, vaguely heard the commotion from the fight between the demon and the beast.
Was there any sound just now?
"You heard that too? It sounded like something."
The two squad leaders looked at each other and tacitly divided the tasks: one team went to question the second young lady, and the other team went to check the surroundings.
This place is the alternative residence of the Snow Maiden, and it is also close to the location of the sacred beast, so there is no room for error.
Su Yu hissed inwardly, grabbed Jing Dian who was trying to climb onto him, and ran away.
He was hiding in a corner against the wall; one step outside would expose him to the light coming through the window.
There's no hiding place anymore, I have to run first.
"There! What demon is there?!"
Su Yu ran around the courtyard, trying to catch the guards, and urged Jing Dian, "Hurry up, have you sensed where your main body is?"
If these guards chase him for too long, they might ask the patriarch or elders to bring in demons to capture him. Although Su Yu is not incapable of defeating them, it's always better to avoid trouble.
"There! There!"
Jingdian finally sensed it, perched on Su Yu's shoulder, and waved its paws to guide him.
After many twists and turns, the number of demons chasing them increased until they finally arrived at an open area. Surrounding this open space were houses like those of Yuki-chan, which were intended for the residence of Yuki-onna.
Su Yu slowed her pace: "Where's your beast?"
Jingdian looked around and said with certainty, "It's under the well in the middle!"
"My true form, you've really suffered," it muttered to itself. "That damned old man Xue dared to lock me up in this godforsaken place. I'll tear him to pieces and use him as fertilizer. And that long-faced one, that big-bearded one..."
It sounds like they're bringing up old grievances and holding a grudge.
"How dare you, you brat!"
This is the forbidden area of the Xue family. The guards dared not trespass. The commotion here also attracted the family head and elders. The Xue Maiden candidates, including Xue Er, were alerted early on. They were naturally qualified to enter this place.
Seeing Su Yu rushing towards the old well in the middle, the Snow Maiden candidates roared warnings and launched deadly attacks on Su Yu.
A sense of crisis came from behind.
Su Yu quickly turned her head and dodged several silently appearing exploding ice arrows, muttering to herself, "I knew this wasn't going to be a good job."
If the Xue family truly served the sacred beast as rumored, then this clone of Jingdian could openly enter and leave the Xue family without needing to go through all this trouble.
Jingdian cried out in a panic, "I'll let you take more things from Snow Crystal Peak, okay? Oh no, here it comes again! Dodge, dodge!"
Su Yu's lips curled up subtly: "You said it yourself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yu's figure was already near the old well.
Who would listen to that?
The Xue family demons seemed to have some inexplicable fear of the well, and for a moment they stopped attacking, only issuing verbal warnings.
"This is the Xue family's forbidden area. You have committed a grave error. If you surrender quickly, you might still be able to leave with a whole corpse!"
This is the Xue family head speaking, who has already arrived.
Su Yu turned her back to them, ignoring their words completely.
He lowered his gaze to the well and transmitted his voice to the crystal peak:
Is this a question someone of your cultivation level should be asking?
Jingdian rolled his eyes and whispered, "You'll just fall on my soft fur, you're really getting off easy."
"Stop dawdling and jump!"
To the Xue family demons, the black-robed demon who suddenly barged in remained silent. After the little pet on his shoulder whimpered a few times, it suddenly made a move.
He turned his head to the side, his only visible eyes gleaming with a captivating smile, but his voice carried a wicked, playful tone: "Your family's sacred beast doesn't want you anymore~"
Now that she's using a fake identity and there are no familiar demons around, this is a rare opportunity. Without having to worry about her persona, Su Yu is letting loose.
After speaking, he relaxed and fell straight into the bottomless dry well.
The Xue family head's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward but failed to grab a single piece of clothing.
His hands, which were gripping the well platform, slowly tightened, and his voice was forced out through clenched teeth: "Elders, join me in guarding this forbidden area. We must not allow this shameless thief to take away the sacred beast!"
They themselves dared not go down; they could only wait for the thief to come to them from above, or simply surround and kill him!
