As a woman who loves beauty, Qi Miao loves all beautiful things.
Last night, it was a bit dark on the stairs. Although Qi Miao noticed a little girl among the group of demons upstairs, she couldn't get a clear look at the girl's face. Today, seeing her again, she noticed that Yin Huan had a fair and delicate face, and her large, bright eyes were exceptionally lively. She couldn't help but take a second look.
Upon closer inspection, she immediately noticed the problem.
"What's strange?" Song Tianshan paused slightly.
"She doesn't have any demonic aura, but she carries the unique demonic essence of the demon race... and it's very weak, as weak as a newly formed demon." Qi Miao wondered, if she has demonic essence but no demonic aura, what kind of demon is she?
Which demon doesn't possess demonic energy? The more powerful the demon, the stronger its demonic energy.
If the demonic energy is weak, it can only prove that the demon has only recently become a spirit. But how can a demon that has only recently become a spirit take human form?
For a demon to take human form, the only way is to undergo tribulation.
Demons that haven't survived their tribulation, even if they use demonic arts to transform, can't conjure up a human-like appearance. And what's even stranger is that in the hundreds of years that the Qing Sect has been exorcising demons, they've never heard of a demon in human form with such a child-like body.
Upon hearing Qi Miao's doubt, Song Tianshan paused in his steps, turned around abruptly, and looked at Yin Huan.
The group stopped in their tracks, making Hei Xiong, who had been watching them closely, tense up. He lowered his head and casually bent down to pick something up. His bent-down posture happened to obscure Yin Huan's lower body.
Although the silver ring's tail had been used to create an illusion, this illusion could only deceive the eyes of mortals. When it encountered a cultivator with cultivation, this disguise would be immediately seen through.
Hei Xiong's heart pounded, fearing that the others would notice the strange thing about Yin Huan.
Song Tianshan frowned, his gaze fixed on the silver ring.
After a moment, he frowned, reached out, and injected a stream of energy into the space between his eyebrows, activating his inner eye in an attempt to figure out the strangeness surrounding the silver ring.
As soon as he opened his mind's eye, a dazzling golden light appeared on the stone pillar in front of him. The light was so bright that it made Song Tianshan's forehead throb with pain.
Song Tianshan was greatly alarmed and immediately regained his composure. He reached out and rubbed the corner of his eye, took a breath, and then said to Qi Miao behind him, "It's alright, let's go."
The golden light of merit is a rare sight in my life!
How could that little demon possess something that only Buddhists have? Could it be... that little demon cultivates Buddhism?
Even if one practices Buddhism, one's merits cannot surpass those of a true Buddhist disciple, right?
He had once seen Buddhist disciples within the demon-slaying community sparring in Shanghai. At that time, the combined merits of the two enlightened Buddhist disciples did not equal that of this little girl.
Strange... Where did these demons come from? I don't think I've ever heard of them among the demon race.
Well, these law-abiding demons are outside the jurisdiction of demon hunters. As long as they don't harm humans, let them be.
Lost in his own thoughts, Song Tianshan glanced back at Hei Xiong and Yin Huan as he entered the bus station.
One glance was enough to startle Song Tianshan, who froze in his tracks as if he had been frightened. He steadied himself, turned around, and rushed impatiently toward the two demons, one large and one small.
Yin Huan sat obediently on the stone stool, holding a fried dough stick and eating it with relish. Her big eyes were curved as she let Hei Xiong do whatever he wanted.
Having endured so much tribulation, she had come to understand some things.
Both Huo Fei and Qing Mang seemed afraid of others discovering her tail. This wasn't just a matter for them; all the demons in the prison held her tail in great awe. Even the spider demon who initially wanted to eat her backed down after seeing her tail.
She just couldn't understand it. Even if they thought she was Nuwa, why was Nuwa so ashamed to be seen in public, having to hide herself whenever she went out? It was only because they didn't have bad intentions; otherwise, she would have stopped playing with them long ago.
"Uncle, you're back again." Yin Huan took a bite of her fried dough stick, looked up, and saw Song Tianshan appear before her like a gust of wind.
Song Tianshan frowned, staring intently at Yin Huan. Hearing Yin Huan's clear voice, his expression softened: "Little sister, may I see your legs?"
Yin Huan's eyebrows curved as she smiled at Song Tianshan. After a moment, she blinked, then blinked again: "Are you sure you want to see my legs?"
Song Tianshan, not understanding why, nodded solemnly.
If I wasn't mistaken, what appeared to be under the little girl's skirt wasn't legs, but a tail—a white tail.
The distance was quite far, and at first glance, he couldn't clearly see what kind of animal's tail it was. But whether he saw it clearly or not, it didn't stop his doubts.
As a Taoist who entered the Taoist sect at a young age, he already knew the situation of the demon race well before he even learned any magic.
The demon race has only ever had two forms throughout history: beast form and human form. Only demons who have survived the tribulation of transformation can shed their beast form and take on a human body. If a demon cannot take on a human form during the tribulation, it is destined to perish, and there is absolutely no possibility of a third form appearing.
But this little girl in front of me….
Yin Huan had no idea what Song Tianshan was thinking. She chuckled softly, her laughter as clear as a bell, and poked Hei Xiong with her finger: "Hei Xiong, this uncle wants to see my legs."
Although Silver Ring wasn't particularly clever, she was good at reading people. All the demons in the prison were worried that the exorcists would discover her tail. Under these circumstances, even if she were a fool, she would know not to stick her tail out for anyone to see.
What's more, the person in front of him is the number one enemy of the demon race—the demon tamer.
Yin Huan was exceptionally quick to shift the blame.
She was too weak and insignificant to stop the demon slayer, but... didn't she have Hei Xiong by her side? She could pass the buck to Hei Xiong and let him figure out a solution.
Seeing Song Tianshan return, Hei Xiong was already on high alert. Now, hearing Song Tianshan ask to see Yin Huan's little tail, he turned on him, his face darkening, and started arguing: "Hey, what do you mean? Looking at legs? I think you're trying to be a pervert!"
Hei Xiong paused, glanced at the people eating breakfast nearby, grinned wickedly, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Shameless bastard, trying to see my little girl's legs in broad daylight—Guards, catch this pervert!"
