Chapter 121 Explanation
"What..." Su Jue's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this, and he said, "Don't the three people who came with you know about the situation here?"
He then looked at Xiao Han and Qing Tong Qingying, who looked completely bewildered, clearly unaware of the situation.
He grinned and joked, "Hahaha... You three are pretty bold! You dared to follow this girl here without knowing anything. Aren't you afraid she'll sell you out? Hahaha..."
"You can't easily trust beautiful women, you'll just get hurt, hahaha..."
Xiao Han stepped forward and kicked Su Jue, sending him flying. The laughter stopped abruptly.
He said coldly, "Talking nonsense can easily lead to trouble. Hasn't anyone told you that loose lips sink ships?"
Su Jue was caught off guard by Xiao Han's sudden attack and was kicked straight away, landing on the grass.
"Ouch..." He struggled to his feet and said, "You have no sportsmanship, you actually attacked me when I wasn't looking."
"Martial virtue?" Xiao Han's eyes turned colder: "If you dare to spout nonsense again, I will make sure you can't get up."
Qingying stepped forward with her sword in her arms, her expression turning cold.
"This king? Only the current princes would dare to call themselves that."
Su Jue took a closer look at the man in front of him. Judging from his attire, his aura, and his suddenly cold face, he did indeed have an aura of authority.
And those two men with swords, perhaps they are his personal guards. Could it be that this person is indeed a prince?
"Ahem... It's a misunderstanding." Su Jue stood up, rubbed his stomach, and chuckled dryly, "I was just joking, everyone, don't take it seriously. It's cold outside, just trying to liven things up!"
“Apologize…” Bronze said coldly, holding his sword.
Apologize? Su Jue was clearly taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
“Alright…” Su Jue slowly walked towards Long Chuqing, cupped his hands and said, “Miss, I was being presumptuous just now. I was just joking with you. I apologize to you here. Please don’t take it to heart.”
In fact, Long Chuqing didn't care much; it was just a joke, and she didn't take it to heart at all.
However, I am still very grateful to see them defend me like this.
Long Chuqing said calmly, "It's alright..."
“Xiao Han…” Long Chuqing looked at Xiao Han and said, “Never mind, he didn’t mean any harm, he was just joking.”
Xiao Han nodded. "Mm."
Long Chuqing called Xiao Han and Qing Tong Qingying aside. She glanced at them, her eyes flickering, wondering where to begin!
“Well… how should I put it? Well, that man is a Taoist priest.” Long Chuqing pointed to Su Jue standing to the side.
"You should know what a Celestial Master does, right? That's right, they're the ones who catch demons."
"The reason he stays here is because there are monsters on this mountain. The recent cases of heart-rigging murders in the city were the work of these monsters."
Long Chuqing continued, "Right now, I only know that there is a black cat demon and a gray wolf demon on this mountain. As for whether there are any other demons, I don't know."
Although they could already guess what was going on, Qing Tong and Qing Ying still opened their mouths wide and swallowed hard after hearing Long Chuqing's words.
"There really are monsters!" Qingying asked in alarm, "Were those two monsters terrifying?"
Bronze asked with a curious look, "Can they transform? What do they look like when they transform?"
“They can transform,” Long Chuqing replied. “They look no different from ordinary cats and wolves, but they transform into human form.”
“Hmm…” Long Chuqing recalled for a moment: “That black cat demon was female. As for her appearance, well, I can’t describe it. Her eyes were painted black, her lips were painted with black lip rouge, and she had sharp teeth and long nails.”
"That wolf demon, um... I haven't seen what he looks like after he transforms yet! But I can confirm that he's male."
Although Xiao Han listened with curiosity, he couldn't help but wonder why Chu Qing was sharing other people's appearances with such relish.
Shouldn't this be a very serious question? How come it came out of her mouth like a casual chat, without the slightest hint of tension?
Qingying listened attentively with great interest.
"Chu Qing..." Xiao Han interrupted them, asking, "How do you know about these two monsters? Have you seen them before?"
Long Chuqing nodded: "Hmm... I saw them on the night of the 15th. They came looking for me and wanted to attack me, intending to eat me, but they ran away for some reason."
"Those two monsters came looking for you, and they wanted to eat you. Did they hurt you?" Xiao Han asked anxiously after hearing this. "Why didn't you mention it?"
"Don't worry, I'm not hurt. See how fine I am? Don't fret, I can handle them."
Although she spoke calmly and casually, Xiao Han's face was still clouded with worry.
He thought about it carefully, and realized that the night of the fifteenth was the same night Chu Qing came to Qinli Courtyard to find him!
She was in danger but he didn't know, and at the time her whole body was ice cold. Could it be related to a monster?
However, it's not appropriate to ask about this here; I'll have to wait until I get back to ask her.
Qingying was shocked. Not only were there monsters, but the Dragon Girl had also encountered a monster that could rip out hearts.
Thinking back to those cases where hearts were ripped out, it's amazing that she's still standing here unharmed.
Su Jue, who was on the other end of the line, chimed in, "On the fifteenth, I was poisoned by their magic and then lay in the inn unable to move."
“They took advantage of my inability to move and came out to commit the crime again that night. I didn’t expect them to go to you, young lady. They must have failed here before they went to kill the other couple.”
After hearing this, Qingying asked, "Since Young Master Su knows that it was a monster that harmed people, why don't you go to the government office to provide clues?"
“This…” Su Jue hesitated for a moment and said, “To be honest, I find it troublesome. When I used to catch demons, I would go to the local government office to provide clues, but they simply did not believe that it was the work of a demon.”
"They said I was talking nonsense and spreading heresy, and they even kicked me out. Not only did I not get the reward money, but I almost got beaten up. It's not worth it."
"Right now, all I want to do is capture the monster as soon as possible so I can go back and report."
The main problem is that even if he tells the authorities, they can't help him, and they might even cause trouble when he's trying to catch the demon.
“Not every government office is like that.” Xiao Han said with a serious expression after hearing this, “You can’t generalize about all the people in government offices just because you encountered a setback in one place! There are also reasonable and thoughtful people.”
“If you don’t explain to the authorities and secretly capture the monster without reporting it, then those cases will remain unsolved in the archives forever.”
"If there are officials who are greedy for credit and eager for advancement, they might just grab someone to impersonate them in order to increase the case-solving rate, torture them into confessing, not only wronging others, but also hastily closing the case in the end."
