Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

While they were still arguing here, there was also a dispute on the other side.

A little girl with two buns on her hair and wearing a green silk shirt pulled the innkeeper with an anxious look on her face.

She asked loudly, "Our young lady just disappeared in your inn. What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? Do you know who our young lady is? If something really happened to her here, ten heads wouldn't be enough to chop off your head!"

The shopkeeper pushed her hand away and said helplessly, "Girl, I have already reminded you not to leave the room at night, but you refused to listen. What can I do?"

Xie Yanshu and Zhou Ziyu had already come over. The four of them looked at each other and came up with an idea.

They noticed early on that there was something strange about this inn, so they chose to rest here.

Several people stepped forward and asked, "Boss, what happened?"

When the little girl saw Shen Zhaozhao and his companions dressed as monks, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked, "Can any of you Taoist masters catch monsters?"

"Of course, what's the difficulty, young lady?" Xie Yanshu nodded and asked.

The little girl cried out loudly: "My young lady was captured by a black fog last night. Taoist priests, please save my young lady!"

The little girl's name is Cui'er. She and the young lady came to Cangwu County two days ago and stayed at Yuelai Inn.

Last night the girls said they couldn't sleep and wanted to go out for some fresh air. Although the boss had told them not to leave the room after midnight when they first checked in, they thought it would be fine to just walk around in the corridor outside the door.

Unexpectedly, they had not been in the corridor for a moment before the young lady was swept away by the black fog.

She wanted to find someone for help, but found herself trapped in the corridor. She shouted loudly but no one responded. She did not come out of the corridor until the rooster crowed.

Hearing Cui'er's words, Xie Yanshu frowned. They were upstairs from Cui'er, and they were in Shen Zhaozhao's room at midnight and were not asleep, so why couldn't they hear Cui'er calling out?

Shen Zhaozhao saw that the innkeeper seemed to be hesitant to speak, so she asked him, "Innkeeper, do you know something? Why did you ask them not to go out at night when they checked in?"

The shopkeeper patted his trouser legs and said anxiously, "Master, you may not know that our Cangwu County has not been peaceful in the past few months. A few days ago, many inns had foreign women disappear inexplicably at night. Most inns in the county have closed for fear of accidents."

He wiped his tears and continued, "I found out that the missing women all went out at midnight, so I thought that as long as I warned the residents in advance, everything should be fine. Who would have thought that now... Alas!"

Cangwu County is the central hub for traveling to various places. Merchants doing business from all over the country have to pass through here, and there are many travelers coming and going.

All other inns were closed, and he wanted to take the opportunity to make some money.

Earlier, the little girl named Cui'er and her young lady wanted to stay in the inn. He was about to refuse because they were two young ladies, but unexpectedly, the young lady took out one thousand taels of gold.

He now regrets deeply, regretting that he was blinded by money and lost a life in vain.

"Master, it looks like a wolf demon." The Fire Beast transmitted a message to Chu Yu. It had smelled the scent of the wolf demon yesterday.

Chu Yu was holding the Fire Beast in his arms and combing its fur, listening to their conversation with an expressionless face.

The Fire Beast was watching carefully, and seeing that its master didn't seem to care, it raised its head and asked, "Master, do you want to help them?"

Hearing this, Chu Yu stopped what he was doing. Seeing that Xie Yanshu would definitely help, he asked coldly, "Do you think I'm idle?"

Rat decided to keep his mouth shut.

"Don't worry, girl. We will definitely help you rescue your young lady." Xie Yanshu's tone was gentle, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, as if no matter how difficult the task was, it would not be difficult for him.

Seeing that Xie Yanshu had spoken, Shen Zhaozhao introduced him to Cui'er, "Don't worry, young lady. This senior brother of mine is very powerful. He has killed tens of thousands of monsters. If he says he can help you, he will definitely do what he says."

In order to reassure Cui Er, she brought Zhou Ziyin over: "Our Junior Brother Ziyin has first-rate swordsmanship! He can easily subdue any monster."

“And more!” Shen Zhaozhao looked around and pulled Chu Yu in front of Cui’er. “This, Junior Brother Chu Yu, don’t underestimate him because he is so young. He just killed a very powerful spider monster!”

The girl's big, lively eyes were full of confidence and a little pride. In her opinion, Xie Yanshu was so confident, so this unknown monster shouldn't be a problem.

After listening to Shen Zhaozhao, Cui'er looked at the four people in front of her, her eyes full of expectation. If this was the case, then the young lady was saved!

"We will rescue your young lady, don't you agree?" Shen Zhaozhao asked the three people. Cui'er also looked inquiringly, waiting for their agreement.

Xie Yanshu: "Well! Don't worry, girl!" He comforted Cui'er and stroked his forehead secretly: It seems that he did not kill tens of thousands of monsters.

Zhou Ziyu: ...Senior Sister, have you forgotten that I was eliminated in the first round of trials just like you?

Chu Yu smiled at Cui'er and said, "Yes."

Flamemon: ...Master, that's not what you just said!

"Okay...ok, thank you!" Cui'er's face turned a little red, and her eyes glanced at Chu Yu from time to time.

Shen Zhaozhao pursed her lips and shook her head: It turns out that girls all like this kind of gentle and jade-like young man, especially when he gives you a harmless smile.

The Fire Beast sent a message: "Master, why did you change your mind?"

Chu Yu looked at Shen Zhaozhao, who was rubbing the floor with her shoes. The short strand of hair on her head was swaying with her movements. He said perfunctorily, "Maybe it's because I'm too bored."

He didn't understand why the arrogant and domineering Miss Shen in the eyes of the Qingwei Sect disciples was like this now and was so kind-hearted to everyone.

He recalled the scene he saw in the morning: Shen Zhaozhao was having a pleasant conversation with Xie Yanshu with her back to him.

The light shining on the short hair on top of her head was so eye-catching and yet so annoying.

There are not many guests in Yuelai Inn. Apart from Shen Zhaozhao and his friends, there are only a few others.

It was morning now and the other residents were still upstairs, unaware of what had happened last night.

Several people sat at the table to discuss countermeasures. Shen Zhaozhao tapped the table and spoke first: "I have a solution!"

"What method?" everyone was puzzled.

Shen Zhaozhao waved her hand, asking everyone to come closer. She lowered her voice and said, "We can have a "Please-come-in" party!"

"How do you lure someone into a trap?" Cui'er asked in a low voice.

"The shopkeeper said that these people disappeared outside the room at midnight, so we only need to find someone wandering outside at midnight tonight, maybe we can lure out the monster."

"That's true, but what if the monster captures this person again?" The shopkeeper was a little worried. He couldn't afford to take another life.

Shen Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly: "What we want is to be captured!"

The monster has captured so many women. Only by being captured can we know its lair. If we find it in time, maybe those women can still be saved.

"I'll go!" Shen Zhaozhao raised his hands, his eyes were clear and his voice was excited.

It's not that she overestimates her abilities, it's mainly because there is really no one more suitable than her here.

The wolf demon captured a woman, and her cultivation level cannot be very high, otherwise it will definitely have some reservations. After she was captured, she would try to delay the time. As long as Xie Yanshu and the others found her in time, it would not be a bad idea to cooperate with them from inside and outside.

"I don't agree." Xie Yanshu frowned and objected loudly. He had his own considerations.

Shen Zhaozhao had just come down the mountain to gain experience, was inexperienced, and had overly simple ideas.

This demon was able to avoid them and capture people, so its power must be quite high. If they want to lure it out, they can't get too close to it. How can he let her take the risk alone?

Shen Zhaozhao sighed and said flatteringly, "Brother, I am not acting on impulse. You all know that I am the most suitable person here. Just agree to me. You are the best."

Seeing that Xie Yanshu was still silent, she lowered her head somewhat unhappily.

Senior brother was a little stubborn, and she didn't even need to guess why he disagreed.

"I think it's feasible." Chu Yu curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the little girl opposite him who looked a little lost.

"Since I was the one who chose Senior Sister to go down the mountain, then I will ensure her safety. I have ways to ensure that Senior Sister will not be harmed by monsters."

Shen Zhaozhao looked into his clear and bright eyes.

It was not until today that she suddenly realized that Chu Yu's eyes were big and black, like a pool of soft, clear lake water. When he stared at people, it was as if he wanted to drown them.

Chu Yu stretched out his hand and handed her something.

Shen Zhaozhao looked down and found it was the Meteor Bracelet.

In a cave somewhere, the wolf demon threw the captured girl onto a straw mat. The girl's eyes were closed and she was unconscious. The wolf demon touched her face and praised, "She is so pretty."

The other two girls in the cave were so scared that they sobbed when they saw the wolf demon capture another person.

The wolf demon was somewhat displeased and roared at them, "Still crying! Whoever cries again will be the first to be eaten by me."

When the girl woke up, she saw a hairy monster smiling at her: "Are you awake?"

"Who are you?" The girl was startled.

The wolf demon said with a lecherous look: "My name is Jackal, and I am your future husband." It changed its mind. The girl was so beautiful that it wanted to keep her as its wife.

"Husband?"

The wolf demon nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, why don't we get married tonight? What do you say?"

The girl pushed the wolf demon away and coaxed him, "Marriage requires three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts. If you don't give me a betrothal gift, I won't marry you."

Seeing that the girl agreed to marry him, the wolf demon said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I will give you the betrothal gift right away. When I catch another person tomorrow, I will give you the betrothal gift as well."

The soul of the female cultivator in the inn is pure, which is a great tonic for it.

If it eats three more souls, it will immediately be able to transform into a human form.

When it grows into a handsome man, my wife will definitely not dislike it anymore.

The next day, the girl was awakened by crying. She didn't understand: "You two girls have been crying all night. Aren't you tired?"

The girl stopped crying and whispered, "This wolf demon is a pervert. He likes to hear people cry. The longer they cry, the longer they live."

The girl's eyes widened. So that's it!

There was constant crying in the cave.
