Chapter 164 Fox Demon
As the meal was prepared, everyone took their seats.
Miss Duan didn't stand on ceremony when she saw the big fish and meat on the table. She grabbed a huge chicken leg and started gnawing on it. After swallowing it, she took a big gulp of wine. Her actions were straightforward and unpretentious.
Even Madam Li was stunned by Miss Duan's eating habits; she had never seen any girl eat like Miss Duan before.
The fist-sized chicken leg vanished instantly in Miss Duan's mouth, leaving only a clean bone.
After swallowing the chicken in her mouth, Miss Duan noticed that everyone was staring at her, but she didn't show the slightest bit of shyness or embarrassment. Instead, she laughed generously and said, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Eat!"
After saying that, Miss Duan picked up another fish and put it in her bowl. Such a good dish must have cost a lot of money.
Normally, she wouldn't dare to eat so well. She had been an exorcist for many years, and all the money she had saved had been spent on cultivation. Where would she have extra money for lavish meals?
Today is a rare opportunity, so of course we must eat our fill and have a good meal!
As the monk Fakong watched Miss Duan eat with relish, and looked at the meat dishes on the table, he secretly swallowed.
I'm so envious!
He usually loves meat, but now, in order to hide his identity, he can only eat some vegetables and white porridge.
Madam Li of the Li family is not easily fooled. It seems that he will not be able to get the silver. Instantly, he had the same thought as Daoist Qingfeng.
I'll slip away tonight!
Get rid of demons?
He doesn't have that ability. With his meager martial arts skills, he'd be dead if he encountered a real demon.
......
It's getting dark.
Several miles away from the Li residence, a brothel called Yihong Courtyard is located in a bustling area. Surrounded by shops and bustling with people, it is a lively and vibrant place. With its flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, it showcases the exquisite beauty and splendor of ancient architecture.
The lobby on the first floor of the brothel was bustling with noise and chaos. Two dashing young men dressed in fine clothes were sitting at a table, raising their glasses and drinking. Each of them had a ragged, seductive woman in his arms.
One of them, his face full of curiosity, said to the other, "Brother Wen, have you heard about what's happened recently? There seems to be an evil spirit haunting the Li residence!"
The man addressed as Brother Wen smiled slightly, took a sip of his wine, and slowly replied, "I have naturally heard about this matter. I've even heard that the evil spirit is haunting the bedroom of Young Master Li of the Li family! Tsk tsk tsk, Young Master Li is the only son of the Li family. If something happens to him, the Li family is finished..."
After saying that, he began to flirt with the woman in his arms, shaking his head and swaying his body.
As the two were talking, a graceful woman with a face like a fairy appeared. She was dressed in a snow-white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and with a light flick of her sleeves, she looked like a fairy descending to earth. The ruqun was made of soft and smooth material, like the clouds in the sky, and the hem of the skirt fluttered in the wind like a butterfly dancing.
What's even more captivating is that this woman has a beautiful face, with delicate, arched eyebrows and a mesmerizing charm in her eyes. Her skin is as white as jade, her slightly flushed cheeks are as delicate and alluring as peach blossoms, and her red lips are moist and tempting, making one want to kiss her.
As she passed by them, a delicate fragrance wafted out, like the aroma of a hundred flowers blooming in spring. This fragrant breeze gently brushed their cheeks, instantly captivating them, as if they were immersed in a dreamlike world from which they could not extricate themselves.
Their gazes involuntarily followed her figure until she disappeared from sight, at which point they snapped out of their daze, a sense of melancholy welling up in their hearts. Looking down at the beauty in their arms again, they felt nothing like before.
Compared to the stunningly beautiful woman from before, the woman in his arms seemed like a common, ordinary beauty, and instantly lost her allure!
"Brother Wen, do you know the name of that woman from earlier?"
Brother Wen turned his head with a hint of lingering reminiscence and said, "I don't know, when did such a stunningly beautiful woman arrive at the brothel? How come I didn't know? I'm a regular at this brothel!"
After saying that, he looked down at the woman in his arms, gave her ample breasts a hard pinch with his large hand, and teased, "Little darling, do you know who that woman was?"
"Oh, young master, you're pinching me too hard!"
"I don't know that woman either! I've been in this brothel for years and I've never seen her before, nor is she among the new girls?"
Surely such a beautiful woman couldn't possibly end up in a brothel?
The woman in the white ruqun ignored the guests who were watching her, walked straight out of the Yihong Courtyard, passed through the crowd on the street, and slipped into an alley under the cover of night.
A few minutes later, a slight sound came from the alley, but the woman in the white dress was no longer there; only a snow-white fox appeared on the ground.
The next moment, the white fox lightly leaped and landed on a wall two zhang high.
The white fox's bright eyes scanned its surroundings before it darted off in one direction at an extremely fast speed.
......
Late at night, everything is silent.
The entire Li residence fell silent, and everyone was fast asleep.
However, at that moment, two slight creaking sounds were heard, and the doors of the two previously closed rooms were pushed open simultaneously without warning!
Immediately afterwards, two dark figures flashed out of the room like ghosts. Upon closer inspection, these two figures were none other than Daoist Qingfeng and Monk Fakong.
The two were both taken aback when they saw each other. Their four eyes stared at each other, and for a moment the whole scene became unusually quiet; you could probably hear a pin drop.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the atmosphere became quite awkward.
Master Qingfeng and Monk Fakong exchanged bewildered glances, wondering to themselves, "How did we end up meeting him here?"
"Could he be a conman like me, trying to slip away under the cover of night?"
The two of them instantly had the same thought.
"Good evening, Master Fakong. Are you out here to enjoy the scenery too?"
Master Qingfeng stepped forward and tentatively asked.
"Amitabha Buddha, I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out to enjoy the scenery. I never expected to run into Master Qingfeng. What a coincidence!"
Ha ha!
Those two old guys are still putting on an act even now.
At this moment, Master Qingfeng finally realized that the monk in front of him was a charlatan just like him.
"What a coincidence! Why don't we go and enjoy the moonlight together?" Master Qingfeng said with a smile.
"Amitabha Buddha, of course, Master Qingfeng, please!"
The monk Fakong made a gesture of invitation.
The two exchanged a knowing smile and walked towards the wall of the Li family compound.
The two leaped up and jumped over the high wall of the Li residence.
After leaving the Li residence, Daoist Qingfeng said to Monk Fakong, "Master Fakong, may we meet again someday!"
After saying that, he lifted his leg and ran away into the distance.
But soon Master Qingfeng realized something was wrong. The surrounding scenery had not changed at all, and no matter how he moved his legs, he was just standing still. He turned to look at Monk Fakong, and he was in the same situation.
