Chapter 43 Constable 1
◎While you are still alive, eat good food for a few days! ◎
Bai Chen's body suddenly swayed, and he had to hold on to the wall to barely stand.
Bai Lubao knelt down in annoyance and said, "I am incompetent! The people around me caused Your Majesty to be poisoned and injured, and we still haven't found out what kind of poison Your Majesty was poisoned with! Please punish me!"
"This poison is very powerful. It is colorless and tasteless. It can not only turn a demon back to its original form, but also its young form. However, this poison has no power to harm people. I have been unable to recover my demonic power for a long time. It must be because of this arrow wound."
Bai Chen lifted up his trouser leg. The arrow wound from that day had not healed yet, and there was an obvious black gas coming out of the wound.
Bai Lubao was shocked and asked, "How could this be? Could it be that someone from the underworld sneaked in that day?"
Bai Chen shook his head: "Probably not. But how they managed to make the arrows carry the evil spirit of the underworld, I don't know. It is precisely because of this evil spirit that the injury has not healed yet, and the poison cannot be completely eliminated."
Bai Lubao said anxiously: "I will take you back. The mandrill and the old baboon will definitely have a way to make you recover as soon as possible!"
"No!"
Bai Chen refused: "Let them think I'm dead."
Bai Lubao thought for a moment and asked, "Your Excellency, do you think there is someone behind the yellow-skinned man?"
Bai Chen snorted and laughed, "What else? A bunch of rats and foxes killed you and me, and they won't be able to sit on the throne of the demon king. The person behind them must be very prestigious in the clan and be able to calm down this chaos. Let's see who will take the throne!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Bai Lubao clenched his fist angrily: "We demons have always respected strength. If you want to be the demon king, just come and fight openly! You play such dirty tricks behind the scenes, and still want to sit on the throne? How can tens of thousands of demons in my tribe submit?!"
Bai Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps he has other ways to subdue the monsters?"
Bai Lubao patted his chest and said arrogantly: "Who cares about his bullshit method? No matter how fancy he is, I will send him to the west with one claw, and he will never be reincarnated!"
"Go!" Bai Chen waved his hands weakly, and then added: "Be careful. Don't give your life to others. This time I can't save you."
Bai Lubao knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and promised with a guilty look on his face: "I will find out the mastermind behind this for you, Your Majesty, and cut him into pieces!"
After watching the egret leopard transform into an eagle and disappear into the night, Bai Chen transformed into his original form again and walked into the house.
Nan Qing happened to get up at night and accidentally ran into him in the yard. She didn't say a word, but just stared at him.
This is what it feels like to be stared at by a snake.
Bai Chen sighed in his heart, what a cruel fate! Now he doesn't have any demonic power at all. Even a little demon like this who has just transformed a few years ago can easily crush him to death. He swallowed nervously, faced Nan Qing's gaze, and limped through the crack in the door.
My view was blocked by the wooden door, and the cold feeling on my back finally disappeared.
Bai Chen's tense body relaxed and he glanced at the talisman paper pasted on the door. The talisman paper on the doors and windows had already been marked with a stroke of demon blood. Although it was inconspicuous, it directly made the talisman paper lose its effectiveness. Otherwise, his demonic power would be suppressed all the time, and he wouldn't even be able to enter and exit the door freely!
Thinking about these days, he felt depressed.
He was so arrogant and wanted to teach this bad woman a lesson, but now he can only bow his head and play the role of a "dog", allowing her to bully him at will. This woman actually forced his mouth open, pushed his noble wolf fangs, and stuck her fingers into his throat!
Whenever Bai Chen thought of the scenes of being violated and defiled by her, he would tremble with anger.
He jumped onto the head of the bed, pressed his paws on Yan Yue's face, stared at her viciously and thought: Woman, eat good food for a few days while you're still alive!
The cool little pad seemed to be trembling slightly, which woke Yan Yue up from her sleep. She quickly lifted the quilt and hugged Xiaobai into the bed, kissed his forehead and coaxed him, "Your little paws are so cold! It's okay, it's okay, you won't be cold if I hug you."
Bai Chen was caught off guard and embraced in his arms again, and he was defeated in the warmth and softness.
Watching the woman's sleepy eyes closing again, he thought to himself: Humph, since you are so sensible, I will let you live two more days!
*
Xiaobai was very clingy, so Yan Yue could only carry it to the teahouse.
Thus, a woman in black clothes, holding a black umbrella, with a big black dog beside her and a small white dog in her arms, completely white without a single stray hair, became a unique landscape of Yueyi Street.
Watching the group of people walking away, the neighbors gathered in groups of three or four.
The small shoe and boot shop had just opened the day before yesterday. The shopkeeper asked curiously, "Who is this Miss Yue you just greeted? Why do people seem to be so polite to her?"
"You don't even know this? Then why did you open a store in Yueyi Street?"
"Ah, my family originally sold shoes and boots, and we just moved here from the county. My family and I looked for seven or eight days and found that only Yueyi Street had many customers and the rent was not high, so we chose this place."
The shopkeeper said, "The rent of our shop is low because our customers are all residents in the surrounding area, not many outsiders. Now we all rely on the prosperous business of the Banzhan Mingyue Teahouse, which has brought good business to our neighbors. The person who just passed by is the owner of the Banzhan Teahouse!"
"Her last name is Yue?"
"I really don't know her last name, but it seems that there is some taboo, so no one calls her by her last name. Everyone calls her Miss Yue."
The owner of the shoe shop said with envy: "She is so good at business, I should go and ask for her advice later!"
"Stop it!" the cloth shop owner quickly stopped him, "This girl is not someone we can associate with!"
"Ah? What's her background? I just saw that she was very friendly. She doesn't look like the arrogant person who looks down on others and thinks highly of others."
Several people smiled at each other, and the rice shop owner said with a smile: "She has a very powerful background! She is connected to ghosts and gods, and can ward off evil spirits. Even the government officials dare not offend her. Do you think she is powerful..."
Bai Chen lay in Yan Yue's arms, listening to the voice that was gradually fading away, and sneered silently: Can you communicate with ghosts and gods, and ward off evil spirits? It would be better to just say that she is the co-ruler of both the demon and underworld worlds! As the demon king, can I give up my throne to her? !
Yan Yue came to the teahouse in the evening, with a "mission".
Due to the busy business, Chu Zhi had no time to inquire about gossip and write storybooks, so he asked Yan Yue to communicate with the ghost "guests" and collect some materials.
Ordinary guests cannot see it, but as soon as it gets dark, guests start to arrive in that mysterious place on the second floor. Although there were not many guests, all seven tables were occupied.
Yan Yue served tea to the ghost guest and asked about some strange stories.
Most of the ghosts here are from Linjiang City, and the rumors and strange things heard are pretty much the same, nothing new.
But a ghost mentioned that half a month ago, there was an incident of a flower thief.
This matter spread like wildfire in the city, and Yan Yue also heard about it from Chu Zhi. Many girls and young women in the city did not dare to go out alone, and they locked their doors and windows tightly at night. But even so, there were still girls who suffered.
Yan Yue didn't think this kind of story could be used as a storybook, so she left with little interest.
The ghost said meaningfully, "You must not know that a few days ago a famous detective arrested a flower thief and put him in jail. But the girl was killed after the flower thief was arrested."
Yan Yue turned around and looked at the ghost carefully. He is a middle-aged man dressed simply and neatly, with a square face and strong cheekbones, looking righteous. The face is unfamiliar, it must be his first time here.
She asked, "Did the government arrest the wrong person?"
The ghost said, "Maybe I caught the right person."
Yan Yue didn't understand, and frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Did someone in the government accept bribes and let the thief go out to commit crimes?"
The ghost pretended to be mysterious and said, "This matter has not been solved yet. Miss, you have great magical powers, why don't you go and check it out yourself?"
"Catching thieves and solving cases is the government's business. What does it have to do with us?"
Zhou Lin inserted himself between Yan Yue and the ghost at the right time and said unhappily, "If you want to talk, just say it. If you don't want to talk, just shut up. It's better to stop watching the fun!"
The middle-aged ghost stood up, leaned over Zhou Lin's shoulder and said to Yan Yue: "I just heard that the owner of Banzhang Mingyue has connections everywhere. If you have such great abilities, why bother to just be a small teahouse owner? This is something that the government in the mortal world can't do anything about, why don't you take care of it, young lady?"
"I told you to eat enough, didn't I?!" Zhou Lin was furious and waved his hand to drive him away: "Get lost! If you dare to come again, I will be rude to you!"
Zhou Lin drove the ghost away, turned around and saw Yan Yue was deep in thought, and quickly stopped her, saying, "Young lady, don't speculate! There are so many evil people in this world, and the government can't handle things, so how can you, a weak girl, handle it?"
"I know, I'm not stupid!"
Yan Yue held her chin with her hand and asked with her head tilted, "But, can't I see ghosts? Then can I give the government some real and effective information through you, so that they can catch the flower thief as soon as possible?"
Zhou Lin was relieved. "Okay, I'll look around tonight. If there's any news, we'll report him to the police and arrest him! Don't take risks yourself."
Yan Yue smiled and said, "I know that. But the situation has been tense these past two days, and the flower thief has probably escaped from Linjiang City. I'm afraid he can't be caught."
A man and a ghost were discussing where to go to find some clues.
The whispers of guests at a table in the corner downstairs reached Bai Chen's ears.
"That's right! Who knows if the constable just wanted to do his job and arrested someone at random, hoping that he would take the blame, and was finally discovered by the magistrate, so he had to let him go?"
"Those people in the government office are just there to make a living. How many of them do real work?"
"I heard that the flower thief specifically targeted certain women. Miss Peony from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, whose big white breasts outshine all the other beauties; Miss Ziteng's slender waist, who is as delicate as a willow in the wind; Miss Shaoyao's plump buttocks, and Miss Fengxian's feet, who are as delicate as snow and jade, the flower thief did not miss any of them!"
"Yes, yes! I heard that the last victim was born with a pair of eyes covered with autumn water. It was because of these beautiful eyes that the flower thief came!"
"Do you think the owner of Half Moon is special?"
"Huh? You know what, this is really special, much more special than the previous ones!"
"Is that right? This person has dark eyebrows, dark pupils, and skin as white as cream. His appearance is absolutely impeccable. But there is something weird about him, which is really scary. No matter how powerful the flower thief is, he is still a mortal after all. Why should he ask for trouble?"
"Hey, this is interesting! One is a pervert who is fearless; the other is a fairy who is invulnerable to gods and ghosts and can drive away demons. If these two collide, what a wonderful drama it will be!"
Bai Chen stretched out his claws, aimed at the teacups on their table and waved them gently.
Nothing happened.
He groaned in frustration, rested his chin on Yan Yue's arm with his head down, and his tail hung down lazily.
"Wait until I recover my demonic power! Humph!"
