Song Jun slept until midnight and was woken up by a phone call. Xia Hongshen was still pressing on top of him and refused to move away. He raised his head and saw that the screen of Xia Hongshen’s mobile phone was glowing, and the caller ID was Yun Po.
He took the phone over, connected it, and asked curiously, “Master Yun Po?”
Yun Po yelled on the other end of the phone, “Long Xing was kidnapped!”
Song Jun was stunned when he heard this. Before he could ask for more details, Xia Hongshen suddenly reached out and took the phone from his hand, “Hello?”
Yun Po was a bit furious, “Holy shit! What the hell! It knocked over my car!”
Song Jun could hear Yun Po’s roar from a distance. He couldn’t help but want to wipe the sweat from his forehead and persuade him to calm down and stop swearing as a monk.
Xia Hongshen’s focus still remained on Long Xing, “Kidnapped?”
Yun Po was still cursing, and Wan Mingguang couldn’t listen anymore. He took away his mobile phone and said to Xia Hongshen, “It was a giant white dog that knocked over our car and ran away with the Dragon Tip Whip in its mouth.”
Xia Hongshen frowned slightly when he heard this.
Song Jun grabbed the phone again and asked, “Is it a big dog that looks like a husky?”
Wan Mingguang hesitated for a moment and asked, “What is a husky?”
Song Jun remembered that his soul had been imprisoned in the mountains for many years, and he didn’t recognise any huskies at all. He was speechless and said, “Sorry, it’s nothing.”
Xia Hongshen said at this time, “Let Yun Po come back first.”
Song Jun conveyed what he meant, and then both parties hung up the phone as they had no more clues.
He sat on the bed and thought for a while. Song Jun worried, “Is it really that white dog demon? What on earth is he going to do to Long Xing?”
Xia Hongshen shook his head and then said to Song Jun, “Take a few days off and don’t go to work.”
At dawn the next day, the news that Demon Zhen’s Dragon Tip Whip had been robbed spread throughout the city’s demon world. The rumors suggested that Long Xing was first ‘bitten’ and then ‘snatched away’ by a large monster resembling a white wolf. Anyway, now Demon Zhen was very angry, and the consequences were severe. Anyone who saw Long Xing or the big white demon was immediately supposed to report to Demon Zhen.
Moreover, because the identity of that monster was unclear, even Ling Xiao came under suspicion. Ling Xiao was a wolf, and with the true identity of the mysterious monster still unknown, it seemed that no member of the Canidae family could escape scrutiny.
“What a crap!” Ling Xiao, who knew the news, expressed his anger. It had nothing to do with him at all, let alone his relatives.
Song Jun, who was sitting opposite him, waved his hand to signal him to calm down.
Xia Hongshen sat next to Song Jun and asked, “Who do you think could do it?”
Ling Xiao said, “How would I know?”
Xia Hongshen raised his hand and drew the shape of the monster with his fingers in the air. White mist floated in the air, just like a ferocious husky.
Xiang Wenxi was lying on the back of the sofa chair where Ling Xiao was sitting, looking at Xia Hongshen’s drawings carefully, and suddenly said, “Eh”.
“Have you seen it?” Song Jun asked hurriedly.
Xiang Wenxi held his chin, frowned and said, “I have seemed to see the portrait somewhere, but I can’t remember where I saw it nor what it is.”
Ling Xiao heard this and said, “Anyway, it’s not a monster that originally existed in this city. It should have intruded from outside.”
On the way back, Xia Hongshen turned into a little black cat and was held in Song Jun’s arms.
Song Jun always thought that he was just too lazy to walk, but Song Jun didn’t care about this. He just held the little black cat and walked while saying, “He definitely won’t kill Long Xing. He probably just wants to absorb spiritual power from Long Xing. It looks like he was injured.”
The little black cat’s ears moved.
Song Jun felt that it looked cute and reached out to pinch his ears.
Xia Hongshen immediately turned his head and saved his soft ears from Song Jun.
Song Jun simply lifted him up and bit his ear.
The little black cat’s ears twitched and stopped moving.
In the past two days, Feng Junyuan and Xi Anling had no choice but to ask for leave from campus and the hospital to go out and inquire about Long Xing’s whereabouts.
Xi Anling came to a middle school near the campus. The school was in class when she came. It was very quiet, and there was not a single student in sight.
She entered the teaching building of the junior high school, climbed the stairs to the fourth floor, and looked in by the window of the first classroom on the right. There was a young male teacher inside who was giving a physics class.
Xi Anling stayed quietly by the window and looked in. After a while, many students noticed her and turned to look.
The male teacher obviously noticed it too. He looked out the window and saw Xi Anling smiling and waving to him.
The handsome male teacher’s face instantly turned pale with fright, and then his words became stammering, and his mind went blank.
As soon as the bell rang, the male teacher picked up the books on the desk and wanted to run away, but Xi Anling blocked him at the door of the classroom, grabbed his clothes by the back of his neck, and said, “Why are you running?”
Then Xi Anling dragged him downstairs. He wanted to struggle but did not dare to struggle. His face turned pale with fright, attracting countless students to watch along the way.
Walking to the shade of a remote tree near the teaching building, the male teacher could no longer bear the fright. He turned into a squirrel and slipped out of Xi Anling’s hand. He climbed up a big tree nearby and hid on the trees.
Xi Anling immediately jumped up and down, “Get down!”
The squirrel stretched out its head and shook it.
Xi Anling said, “I won’t hit you. I have something to ask you!”
The squirrel hesitated for a while and asked, “What do you want to ask?”
Xi Anling raised his head and said, “Have you ever seen a big white dog demon?”
The squirrel paused for a moment, put a paw to his mouth, looked at the sky and began to reminisce.
“Qin Song!” Xi Anling called his name.
The squirrel came back to his senses and said to Xi Anling, “I seem to remember something.”
Xi Anling was immediately overjoyed, “Really? Where have you seen it?”
The squirrel was trying to remember.
Xi Anling suddenly raised her leg to kick the tree trunk and said, “Come down first and follow me to see Master!”
The squirrel was so frightened that his fur stood up, and he shook his head vigorously.
Xi Anling said, “Come down quickly! If not, I will ask Master to catch you! Then you will be miserable!”
As if the thought of being captured by Xia Hongshen was even more terrifying, the squirrel looked at Xi Anling and began to hesitate.
Xi Anling opened her arms and said, “Come here, I’ll buy you pine nuts to eat.”
The little squirrel couldn’t resist the temptation and jumped down from the tree. Xi Anling grabbed his big fluffy tail and carried him out upside down.
At this time, Feng Junyuan was squatting next to the bus stop with a confused look on his face. He had been hesitating all morning, not knowing where he should go.
Xia Hongshen asked them to find the demon in the city for information, but he was not familiar with any demon. No, the only demon he was familiar with was Xia Hongshen.
He didn’t know where to go. He watched the buses coming one after another, and He didn’t know which bus to get on.
Suddenly, a Porsche stopped in front of the bus stop. The door opened, and a handsome man in a suit looked at him, “Fengliu?”
Feng Junyuan looked up at him and noticed a trace of demonic energy.
The man smiled and said, “Are you Xia Hongshen’s Fengliu?”
Feng Junyuan said, “Have I seen you?”
The man said, “We met last month.”
When the Demon Market opened last month, Feng Junyuan was almost certain of this man’s identity, but he seemed to have a lot of cultivation. At least Feng Junyuan couldn’t see his real form.
The man said to him, “Where to go? I can give you a ride.”
Feng Junyuan didn’t know where he was going, but since this man was a demon, he finally found someone who could ask for information. So he stood up and got into the man’s car and said, “Let’s go to your place.”
The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Okay.”
Song Jun and Xia Hongshen stopped by the supermarket on their way back because Xia Hongshen was worried that he had run out of cat food and had to buy it at this time.
Song Jun felt helpless and said, “You actually don’t care about Long Xing’s safety at all, do you?”
“Of course that was not the case.” Xia Hongshen has transformed into a human form in order to be able to enter the supermarket. “Only when you are full can you have the strength to find someone.”
The two of them entered the supermarket and went straight to the pet counter. Song Jun was carrying the basket, and Xia Hongshen concentrated on choosing his food.
After shopping, they went out to check out. The two of them met Xi Anling while waiting in line.
Xi Anling came to buy pine nuts. When she saw Xia Hongshen and Song Jun, she almost forgot her own pine nuts and rushed over to boast, “I’ve got a lead on the white-furred monster.”
Xia Hongshen silently put the cat food into Xi Anling’s basket and asked to check out with her.
Song Jun quickly asked, “What clue?”
Xi Anling thought of the poor little squirrel and said, “Wait a moment.”
After paying the bill and coming out, Xi Anling took them to the self-service locker, opened the door, reached out, grabbed the squirrel’s tail inside, and pulled it out.
People passing by showed frightened eyes.
Song Jun almost fainted when he saw the squirrel. He couldn’t stand it anymore, so he reached out to rescue the squirrel from Xi Anling and said, “Is this Qin Song?”
Xi Anling nodded.
Song Jun saw that many people noticed them, so he simply stuffed the squirrel into his backpack and said, “Let’s talk about it when we get back.”
Back at the school dormitory, Song Jun put the squirrel on the desk and fed him some water from a water bottle before he regained his breath.
The squirrel woke up and saw a pine nut in front of him. He stretched out his paws to pick it up. After picking up one, he found that there was another pine nut in front of him, so he chased after it and continued to pick it up.
After picking up four or five pine nuts in a row, he discovered that Xi Anling had neatly placed the pine nuts on the table one by one, teasing him to pick them up.
The squirrel suddenly blushed and refused to move.
Xia Hongshen reached out and knocked on the table.
The squirrel raised his head and saw that it was him. He was so frightened that he stood up straight.
“Qin Song,” Xia Hongshen said in a serious tone, “have you seen the monster that kidnapped Long Xing?”
Squirrel nodded, and he glanced at Xi Anling secretly. In order to speak more conveniently, he turned into a human and sat on the stool in front of the desk. He said, “I received a call from a student in the middle of the night last night. I went to the internet cafe to find a dormitory student. He came out of the internet cafe. It was already very late when I saw a huge white figure running towards the east suburb of Forest Park. I thought I was dizzy at the time, but I seemed to vaguely feel the aura of the Dragon Tip Whip… “
Xi Anling said, “Why don’t you take the initiative to explain to us?”
Qin Song’s tone became weak. He lowered his head and said, “I have class in the morning…”
Song Jun saw that Xia Hongshen seemed to be thinking about something.
Qin Song asked in a low voice, “Master Demon Zhen, can’t you trace the spiritual power of the Dragon Tip Whip?”
Xia Hongshen said, “He covered it up. I don’t know what methods he used and what his abilities are.”
The author has something to say:
Next will be the light and easy stories of the demons. Maintaining silence temporarily, it’s not convenient to update the side story now. I’ll consider it after some time…
