Upon hearing his words, the Snow Woman counted the few little creatures in front of her.
Futakuchi-onna, Zashiki-warashi, Jumpy Brother, Hangan, Onikiri, and Butterfly Spirit. They were all found, thankfully without any accidents.
"Forget it, they're just kids. Let them get home and get a beating."
Jue gripped the hammer tightly, snatched the little black ghost that the hair-eating ghost had picked up, and held it in her arms. The little black ghost trembled in her arms.
"Let's go back now. Father must be worried about us, thinking something has happened to us."
The Snow Woman floated silently in the air. Jue continued to say to the Hair-Eating Demon, "Go and find Aqin, the Sorcerer, Jiao Tu, and the Girl in the Box. Tell them that the children have been found and that they shouldn't worry."
The hair-eating demon lowered his fist, his chest heaving. He took a deep drag of his cigarette and coughed violently a few times.
"Is Gui Gui alright?"
Yingcao noticed a long wound on his shoulder with burn marks, and she quickly treated it for him.
"How many-star fire qilin did we encounter today? How did they get so badly injured?"
The Snow Woman's cold voice came, and the Hair-Eating Demon shook his head without explaining, then turned to find the sorcerer and the others.
They split up to search for the little guy as quickly as possible, and they should still be waiting for news at the agreed location.
"Ghost..."
On the way back to Fuxi Mountain, Yingcao leaned close to Jue and quietly asked her, "Was Guigui angry just now?"
Jue didn't speak, but the demon musician beside her explained in a low voice, "We don't have enough items in our hut. Father saved up some money to improve the hut's environment and get through the winter smoothly. The money that Gui Shi Hei and the others lost today was the money Father worked so hard to save."
After hearing his explanation, Yingcao lowered her head and remained silent. She then turned around, picked up Guishihei, and gave him a good beating. She felt uneasy if she didn't.

"Mo Xue, let's go to the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons together. May I invite you?"
"OK."
After throwing two bags of lucky beans in the mountains and collecting a few fragments, Qiu Shui Yi Ren and Qian Shan Mu Xue headed towards the dormitory. Seeing the lively candlelight emanating from Heian-kyo in the distance, she suddenly stopped and looked in that direction.
"Are you worried about them? If you are, go and look for them. You might run into them."
Qianshan Muxue sighed softly and gently patted Qiushui Yiren's shoulder.
The beautiful woman lowered her head and remained silent, her usual composure vanishing. He asked in a low voice.
Will you stay with me?
"good."
The two descended Mount Fuxi and headed towards Heian-kyo town. As dusk approached, Qianshan Muxue lit a lantern and walked ahead, while Qiushui followed behind, clutching the hem of his robe with one hand.
After walking for a while, they entered Heian-kyo. Qiu Shuiyiren subconsciously looked around, searching for a familiar figure.
As she walked towards the city gate, she saw familiar figures. Qiu Shuiyi suppressed the urge to rush over and demand answers, and walked slowly and heavily to them.
"Father."
The Snow Woman saw them and called out first.
The hair-eating demon looked at his father, opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single sound or utter a single word.
As Qianshan Muxue approached the Hair-Eating Demon and the Snow Woman, she glanced worriedly at Qiushui Yiren, who then raised her hand, seemingly about to slap the Hair-Eating Demon.
She raised her hand heavily, then gently placed it on the back of the hair-eating demon. Qiu Shuiyi stood in front of the hair-eating demon, who was a head taller than her.
Why don't you go home?
A deep voice came from his chest. The hair-eating ghost opened his mouth, wanting to act cute with his father as usual, but when he thought of the empty money bag in the little ghost's hand, he didn't say anything in the end.
"Hair-eating demon, are you deaf?! Answer me!"
Qiu Shuiyiren's voice suddenly rose, and the hair-eating demon took a few steps back, his lips drooping. The snow woman landed in front of Qiu Shuiyiren and hugged his shoulders.
"I've been waiting in the dormitory all day! Why didn't you go home?! Why didn't you tell me where you were, or even leave a message? What kind of mess is this! I've been gone for a few days, it's not like I'm dead!"
In the end, Qiu Shui Yi Ren couldn't continue speaking. She covered her face and retreated to Qian Shan Mu Xue's side, feeling extremely sad.
She didn't want to scold them, but she was really upset. She stayed alone in the dormitory. Her roommates came and went, her friends went home, and her dormitory was empty. She was all alone.
She was afraid something had happened to them, that they had been captured by a great monster, and that they would never return...
"Yi Ren and the others are fine, they just run out of money."
Patting the shoulder of the beautiful woman, Qianshan Muxue hoped to calm her emotions.
"There's a nice Japanese restaurant up ahead. It's on me today."
He led the beautiful woman into the nearest brightly lit restaurant. After a few steps, he turned back and smiled at the Snow Woman and the Hair-Eating Demon, gesturing for them to follow.
