The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Miaolian and Baiyao left the Fang residence early in the morning and headed to the Demon Subduing Division.

Neither Miaolian nor Baiyao took the carriage prepared by the Fang family. Instead, they chose to walk, so that Miaolian could learn about the situation in the city and see how many demons were still hiding there.

After all, such a dense demonic aura appearing in the capital city, especially since this capital city is not far from the capital, he did not believe that the demon slayers would ignore this place, nor did he believe that the demon slayers would allow demons to run rampant. These things needed to be investigated, which was one of the purposes of his trip to the demon slayers.

Even if he hadn't met Bai Yao, he would still have gone to the Demon Subduing Bureau.

A handsome monk walking down the street with a beautiful woman would always attract attention.

"Hey, look, that monk is so handsome!"

"Come on, what kind of behavior is it for a monk to walk around the streets with a woman?"

"I think you're just jealous. A normal man wouldn't see that girl leaving with you!"

"That's right, that's right..."

"But you know what, that woman's appearance was truly exceptional. Especially those fox-like eyes, they could steal a person's soul."

"Hey, wait a minute, do you think that woman might not be human? I've never heard of a woman like that in the capital, especially her appearance, she doesn't look human at all?"

"What are you saying? What's wrong with you?"

"No, I mean he's too perfect-looking, so perfect he doesn't even look human, especially his eyes, they always seem like some kind of animal?"

"Oh...it's a fox, looks like a fox. Yes, a thousand-year-old fox demon, with a hot body, stunning looks, and the ability to bewitch anyone who sees her."

"Ah, a fox demon. Well, you know what, it really does look like one!"

"Did she bail me out? If not, she'll be arrested. I can't bear to see such a beautiful woman die."

"Since she's a fox demon, then the monk standing next to her must be a demon-slaying sorcerer!"

"Ah, that's right! That makes sense. A monk walking around the streets with a woman, if he were a demon hunter with a fox demon as his guarantor, that would make sense."

"This monk is truly blessed to have found such a rare and exquisite demon."

"Don't give me that. The mage is quite good-looking too. I think the fox demon got the better deal."

"But you know what, this monk is actually quite alluring, enough to rival that fox demon."

"Pah! Stop being disgusting. This monk is so holy, how dare you criticize him, let alone compare him to wild game from the mountains. Use your brain!"

Some observant people observed them for a while, and then suddenly spoke up.

“No, that demon didn’t vouch for them, and they weren’t wearing the jade tokens issued by the Demon Subduing Bureau.”

The Demon Exorcising Bureau issues jade tokens to demons who vouch for them, thus proving to the public and other demon exorcists that the demon can roam freely in the human world and is not allowed to be hunted.

"Oh, yes! Where's the jade pendant? If that's the case, do you think they might both be demons?"

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? What if they only arrive today and happen to go to the Demon Subduing Bureau to vouch for them?"

"You're right, the direction they're heading seems to be the Demon Subduing Bureau."

The crowd on the road was chattering and discussing, but this did not affect Miaolian and Baiyao at all; they ignored it and continued walking.

At that moment, three people on the second floor were watching the scene below.

A boy with a slightly childish face was diligently pouring tea for two other people. The older of the two looked down at the scene with a meaningful expression, while the more composed-looking boy also looked on with curiosity.

"Interesting, a monk is accompanied by a fox demon, and he even wants to make a treasure for her."

The person speaking, holding a cup of tea, with a cold smile on his lips, was the older one.

“Master, there are many other demon hunters who vouch for demons, and some even vouch for female demons, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen a monk vouch for a female demon.”

The young boy who had just poured the tea was chattering away nearby.

"That's right! The world is full of wonders. I've certainly broadened my horizons today. Don't you agree, junior brother?"

The more composed-looking man, holding a peanut in his hand, nudged the shoulder of the boy next to him with his elbow.

"Senior Brother Wenfeng, I've told you so many times, please stop calling me junior brother. I just turned 20 this year, why do you still call me young?"

The young boy looked displeased but patiently corrected him.

"Sigh, who told you to have that baby face, so childish, and such a petite figure, yet you always talk like a little adult."

The boy next to me said jokingly.

"Senior brother, if you say that again, I'll get angry. And the consequences of me getting angry are serious."

The boy's face flushed red instantly, and he said angrily.

"Oh, alright, alright, I know, you're the kind of person who's angry and I can't coax you into staying."

After the boy finished speaking, the younger boy turned his head away and ignored him. Knowing that he had angered the man, he quickly took a pastry from the table to coax him.

"Come on, Junior Brother Fuming, don't you love sweets the most? Try the pastries here, they're famous here."

Although the young boy was still angry, when he heard that the other party no longer called him junior brother and glanced at the pastry in his hand, he decided to forgive him. However, he was only doing so because the other party's apology was quite good, and it was definitely not because of the pastry.

The older man ignored the farce around him and continued to look in the direction where Miaolian and Baiyao had left.

As Miaolian walked down the street, he felt a gaze fixed on him. The gaze was not malicious, but it was also different from the gazes of others. It was just a calm and indifferent look, but it always gave people a chill.

Miaolian guessed that they were probably people who had been living on the edge of death for many years, and because of their constant killing, their gaze was different from that of ordinary people.

Miao Lian released her divine sense and saw three people dressed identically, each with a Demon Subduing Division badge hanging from their waist.

The older one was probably the other two's superior. Not only were his clothes and badge different from the other two, but his aura was also different, and the gaze directed at him came from that person.

Xiao Liang, who was staring at the two people on the second floor, was also a little shocked. The monk looked like a boy, but he couldn't see through him. And the fox spirit next to him, who had cultivated for a thousand years, looked so obedient. It seemed that the monk was not simple.

Fortunately, Miaolian was unaware of his thoughts at that moment, otherwise she would have been unable to resist telling him the cruel truth: "Actually, I'm about the same age as you."

Those who cultivate immortality can generally maintain their appearance at the level of their youth. As long as their foundation of cultivation is not damaged and their cultivation level continues to improve, their lifespan will also increase accordingly. Maintaining their appearance is simply a piece of cake.

Seeing that the other party meant no harm, Miaolian stopped caring about the gazes behind her.

Xiao Liang saw that the other party walked towards the Demon Subduing Division with a normal expression. Although the other party did not turn around, he had a feeling that the other party already knew about him.

This terrified him, because his intuition was very accurate, and he trusted it implicitly. This precise intuition had saved him from death countless times.

At this moment, he was filled with vigilance towards the seemingly approachable monk, and at the same time, he was curious about who he was. He immediately decided to return to the Demon Subduing Bureau to see who he really was.

"Let's go back to the Demon Subduing Division."

Xiao Liang suddenly spoke up, then got up and left.

The two people opposite were eating pastries and holding teacups. They had no idea what their master was thinking, as he had suddenly returned to the Demon Subduing Bureau as soon as he came out.

The two looked at each other, but dared not say anything more. They got up, paid the bill, and followed Xiao Liang.
