Exactly.
When the lights went out at night, wasn’t this figure perfectly overlapping the one I saw?
Madam!
Zhao Huai came to his senses and recognized the figure in midair.
He couldn’t help but feel astonished.
Why did Madam come to the Drunken Flower Tavern?
Wasn’t she supposed to be at the opera?
Carefully calculating the time, she was supposed to return home by now and should have been at home!
While Zhao Huai was pondering, there was another fierce battle in the pavilion. After Yu Qinghan suppressed the black smoke in front of her, her cold eyes swept across the sky and found several more places where the black smoke had gone.
“Dividing yourself into five, do you think you can escape like this?”
Yu Qinghan quickly chased after the largest clump of black smoke at an extremely fast speed.
“Damn it!”
The resentful fox woman cursed and hurriedly attempted to escape to a faraway place.
Because she was no match for this woman, she had no choice but to abandon her physical body and flee her primordial spirit.
She had several physical bodies, and as long as she left this place, she could replace any of them and survive.
For a long time, the Fox Demon Clan’s cultivation has always been focused on the primordial spirit, and the physical body meant nothing to them. That’s why there’s a saying in the world that fox demons have nine lives.
In the end, they only switched bodies.
It took only a moment for Yu Qinghan to disappear from Zhao Huai’s sight.
Standing at the door, Zhao Huai pondered, “The person facing Madam just now was the fox demon? Could it be that the Drunken Flower Tavern’s lair has been dealt with?”
Thinking about this, Zhao Huai threw a copper coin.
[Misfortune depends on blessings, just look at it]
[Hexagram one: Elm money cannot buy a thousand gold smiles; willow belt doesn’t need a hundred treasure makeup. Entering Drunken Flower Tavern, the hint you got is “blessing”.]
Retrospective guidance: Wind, flowers, snow and moon, years will pass.
After reading the result, Zhao Huai stepped through the front door and entered the interior of the Drunken Flower Tavern.
He saw a scene that surprised him.
The place was a mess, with badly damaged red paper walls, shattered glazed tea cups all over the ground, and scattered fruit tea and snacks.
“Who did all this? Could it be Madam?”
Zhao Huai exclaimed.
In his eyes, Yu Qinghan rarely took action. He had seen her in action once when facing pursuers, and at that time, he thought her cultivation was only at the fifth or sixth level of refining qi.
Unexpectedly, he underestimated her; the spiritual qi fluctuation here was likely at the peak of refining qi, with amazing destructive power.
The only puzzling thing was why Madam came to the Drunken Flower Tavern to eliminate demons.
While Zhao Huai was surveying the surroundings, a white ball of light entered his mind.
“Oh? This can trigger destiny too?”
He immediately began to examine it.
[Brothel Entertainment (Superior Mortal Grade)]: Going to the brothel can relieve fatigue, invigorate, and positively boost one’s mood.
“Is this for real?”
Zhao Huai’s mouth twitched slightly.
Believe it or not, this destiny was surprisingly useful. When he was tired from cultivating, a visit to the brothel would immediately rejuvenate him and eliminate fatigue.
However, it’s better just to think about it. With Madam here, how could these courtesans even compare to her?
Drip-drop.
The sound of steps descending the stairs drew Zhao Huai’s attention.
“Didn’t I tell you to wait outside? Well, it doesn’t matter. The demons have been cleaned up anyway.”
Lu Wanqiu walked down from the stairs, speaking as she went, with confusion on her pretty face:
“It’s strange, the entire Drunken Flower Tavern is empty. I didn’t see any traces of demons.”
“Someone must have arrived before us.”
Zhao Huai naturally knew who had cleared out the demons, and he reminded her:
“I just saw the shadow of a demon outside; it was indeed being chased away by someone.”
Lu Wanqiu asked seriously, “Where did you see it?””Southeast.”
“I’ll go and investigate, you go back home first. Just leave everything here to me.”
In Lu Wanqiu’s eyes, Zhao Huai was just a pawnshop shopkeeper, and she couldn’t sense any True Qi on him, so naturally, he should stay away from matters involving demons.
She headed towards the direction Zhao Huai mentioned, stepping through the air.
“This fox demon isn’t so easy to kill.”
Zhao Huai muttered to himself and then went upstairs.
Having fought the fox demon several times, he knew the opponent’s tricks and cunning nature, so he naturally wouldn’t leave either.
It could be said that he was the person who knew the demon best among those at the scene.
With the help of his [Demon-Seeing Eye] destiny, Zhao Huai searched everywhere, trying to find some clues.
The world before him turned gray, and intertwining black qi threads guided his way.
The second and third floors of the Drunken Flower Tavern were all separate rooms, beautifully decorated, and filled with the heavy scent of women.
Arriving on the third floor, Zhao Huai gradually smelled a strong stench of blood.
“Where’s this smell coming from?”
He pushed open the door of a private room.
The room was elegantly furnished, lit by candlelight, with gauze curtains and beautifully painted folding screens.
Various tools were laid out on the square table. “Playing this kinky?”
Zhao Huai marveled at the sight of these tools.
The smell of blood came from a cabinet. Zhao Huai opened the cabinet door and saw a nauseating scene.
Inside were human skins, both male and female, all covered in blood without exception.
Zhao Huai suppressed his discomfort, threw in a Fire Thunder Talisman, burned all the skins to ashes, and closed the cabinet door.
After doing all this, he found that the black qi threads in front of him ultimately fell under the bed.
“An unexpected find?”
Zhao Huai slowly walked to the side of the bed, revealing a delicate wooden box.
Opening the box, he found several masks, but not like the human skins he saw earlier.
Half of these masks were broken, and some were intact, looking quite good.
The strong demonic qi naturally came from these masks.
“These might be human face masks that the fox demon refined itself, allowing it to hide among humans and conceal some of its demonic characteristics,” thought Zhao Huai.
“Thud.”
Suddenly, there was the sound of something landing outside the house.
Zhao Huai stared alertly, and the black threads in front of him instantly gathered, all pointing outside.
Obviously, the fox demon had returned.
The Madam and Lu Wanqiu had chased her together, but she still managed to come back?
He put the wooden box into his storage ring, and then hid behind the folding screen, holding his breath and concentrating, concealing his own qi.
A mass of black smoke pushed open the door and formed the figure of a woman.
The woman’s wide sleeves were hooked with crimson silk threads, shaping charming roses, and she had a stunning, bewitching appearance.
This was in sharp contrast to the ugly and fang-filled face of the fox.
She took out a mask from her sleeve and put it on, and the ugly fox face changed suddenly, turning into a beautiful woman with sculpted eyebrows and fragrant jade teeth.
Touching her face, she looked at the bronze mirror and giggled, as if intoxicated by her own beauty.
But her expression quickly changed, and she looked quite upset:
“This woman is truly hateful! She’s been chasing me relentlessly, and I’ve never been so miserable in my life.”
“Luckily, I’m a step ahead, and kept a part of my soul in my flesh body.” Hearing this, Zhao Huai figured it out.
This fox demon’s primordial spirit was divided into several parts, and as long as there was a residual part, it wouldn’t die.
This should be her last remaining spirit then?
Therefore, Zhao Huai quietly pulled out the long sword magical weapon from his black ring.
