Free Web NovelChapter 102: Chapter 85: Qi Yang Sends a Treasure Again
"This White Spot Spirit Monster’s intelligence and combat strength may not be high, but its Origin energy is surprisingly extraordinary!"
At this, Xu Lei couldn’t help but wonder aloud, "Is my current Cultivation enough to deal with Qi Yang now?"
He got up, packed his things, and prepared to descend the mountain again.
"Time to go see what that Qi Yang is up to!"
「Three days later.」
Following Qi Yang’s trail, Xu Lei once again passed through the city where Zhi Jian resided.
Although he didn’t go out of his way to ask, he still heard some news about the county magistrate’s daughter.
It was said that her father had arranged quite a few potential marriages for her over the past year.
However, she was dissatisfied with them all and spent her days playing the zither in her manor.
The music was sorrowful and anguished, filled with mournful lament.
Xu Lei’s heart twinged slightly upon hearing this, but he did not go looking for the young woman.
Instead, he continued on his way, leaving the city with long strides.
’Perhaps longevity is bound to have its regrets.’
Xu Lei thought, ’But regrets won’t stop me from pursuing longevity.’
’The only thing to blame is that the timing of our meeting was wrong.’
「Ten days later.」
On this day, Xu Lei found himself in a city.
But he wasn’t following Qi Yang.
To Xu Lei’s surprise, he had stumbled upon a Demon Spirit along the way!
He had discovered this one himself, not by piggybacking on one of Qi Yang’s fortunate encounters!
This Demon Spirit was a Lust Demon.
Its form was that of a tiny person.
It was a radish that had become a Demon.
Xu Lei had no idea how it had managed to do so.
It just had, and that was that.
It lurked in the women’s quarters, normally appearing as nothing more than an ordinary radish.
But in the dead of night, it would transform into a handsome little Monk and crawl into a woman’s pants.
It would give women an otherworldly, ecstatic experience, and while they were lost in pleasure, it would absorb their Essence Qi.
Xu Lei only discovered it because he witnessed a family arguing; the radish Demon had destroyed their home life.
So, Xu Lei decided to intervene.
In the dead of night.
Xu Lei and the husband of the household eavesdropped outside the wife’s door.
Although the wife was the only person in the room, embarrassing, suppressed moans could be heard from within.
The husband’s face was a terrible sight to behold.
Because he was a live-in son-in-law, he didn’t dare take a concubine and had only this one wife. Their relationship had once been quite good.
For the past six months, however, his wife had constantly been finding fault with him, and he had assumed he was the one doing something wrong.
He never imagined it was the work of a Demon Spirit.
And this Demon Spirit had even made him a cuckold!
Of course, he didn’t dare act rashly now. All he could do was shoot a pleading glance at Xu Lei.
Xu Lei signaled for him to remain silent.
They waited in silence.
"AH!" Sure enough, after a moment, a scream erupted from the room.
The Demon had been poisoned.
Knowing it liked to crawl into the wife’s pants, Xu Lei had secretly contacted the husband earlier and had him help administer the drug.
These drugs, which could suppress and disrupt Demonic Power, were naturally obtained from the Buddhist Sect.
"Demon, die!"
Hearing the scream, Xu Lei immediately rushed in.
Sure enough, on the bed was a woman in disarray, her legs spread and an ecstatic expression on her face.
And on the floor beside the bed, a tiny, radish-like person in the form of a handsome Monk stood drenched from head to toe.
Its medicinal body, however, showed signs of corrosion—the effect of Xu Lei’s drug.
It had been administered through the sandalwood incense in the room.
Xu Lei’s Magical Power surged forward, intending to capture the Demon.
BANG!
But unexpectedly, the Demon could still fight back. It shot up and smashed through the window to flee.
"You’re not getting away!"
Xu Lei immediately gave chase.
As for how the couple in the room would resolve their conflict, Xu Lei couldn’t be bothered.
Xu Lei had thought the Demon was about to fall into his grasp.
It had fled onto the street, and with the roads empty at night, its figure was quite conspicuous.
Its speed wasn’t particularly fast, and Xu Lei’s Lotus Treasure Fragments had already flown over, closing in to grind it to pieces.
They had already managed to slice a gash into its radish skin.
Just as Xu Lei was about to capture it!
WHOOSH!
But at that very moment, an Old Daoist Nun suddenly appeared.
A Flying Sword shot over and scattered Xu Lei’s Lotus Treasure Fragments.
"Retrieve!"
She then threw out a Rope Magical Artifact, instantly ensnaring the radish Demon and yanking it toward her.
She put it away.
"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?"
Xu Lei demanded, his expression ugly.
"Infinite Celestial Venerable."
The Old Daoist Nun glanced at Xu Lei. "Little Monk, if you have a problem with it, I’ll kill you too!
The only reason you’re still alive is because I don’t want to waste my Magical Power!
Any Cultivator has the right to hunt and kill Demon Spirits.
They belong to whoever is strong enough to take them!"
With that, she turned and left.
Xu Lei’s face was glacial.
But he didn’t pursue her.
He knew he was no match for her.
If he insisted on a confrontation, he would likely just anger her and get himself killed.
It was his own fault; his Cultivation was still too weak.
’Time is on my side, Old Daoist Nun. We’ll see about this,’ Xu Lei thought.
Even though he had many lives, Xu Lei couldn’t just throw them away recklessly.
After all, he could reincarnate endlessly.
The longevity this granted him was already enough to outlive all the ordinary Cultivators of this age.
’I’ll just wait twenty or thirty years. When that Old Daoist Nun is on her deathbed, I’ll go and finish her off.’
"Time to go back to checking on what Qi Yang is doing."
Xu Lei turned away. "I’ll just pretend I never ran into that radish Demon."
