Chapter 85 Slaying Demons!

Who is it?

Xiao Tao suddenly heard footsteps, but dared not speak loudly.

She was afraid of disturbing the young master.

She peeked through the crack in the door and saw a shadow flash by, then heard a sharp whistling sound as something cut through the air.

Her face turned pale, and she began to feel afraid.

After a while.

The door to the main room suddenly creaked open.

She trembled with fear.

A tall, slender girl dressed in a white shirt and red skirt, holding a knife, walked in from outside. She glanced at the girl warily for a few moments before asking, "Are you alright?"

His tone was icy, sending chills down one's spine.

Xiao Tao stared at her with wide eyes and recognized her clothes; they looked like those worn by female guards in the manor.

The newcomer said coldly, "I am a guard from the Fourth Madam's quarters. Did you see anything in the room just now?"

Xiao Tao nodded quickly: "A...a shadow..."

The visitor asked, "What kind of shadow?"

Xiao Tao's voice trembled as she said, "Long...long..."

The newcomer narrowed her eyes, looked towards the door, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said nothing more.

Xiao Tao stared at her for a few more moments, then asked fearfully, "Sister, what...what is that?"

The person turned and glanced at her again, saying, "It's nothing, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

Xiao Tao said, "Oh..."

"What is your young master doing?"

The visitor suddenly asked another question.

Xiao Tao quickly said, "Young Master is offering incense, it seems he is praying to Buddha, we mustn't disturb him."

"Worshiping Buddha?"

The visitor was taken aback upon hearing this, glanced at the closed door, and suppressed his curiosity.

The room fell silent.

Xiao Tao couldn't help but say, "Sister, you..."

"My name is Nightingale."

The woman turned around and looked at her, a faint smile on her face. Her gaze lingered on the girl's youthful and adorable face and large eyes for a few moments before she looked down at the bottom of her skirt.

"Oh, Sister Nightingale, is there...is there anything else?"

Xiao Tao found it very strange.

What is this beautiful female guard doing standing here?

The nightingale said casually, "It's nothing, I just think you're cute and wanted to watch you here for a while, is that alright?"

Xiao Tao was taken aback, her face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head.

The room fell silent again.

Just then, a short whistle suddenly came from outside.

Nightingale's expression hardened, and she immediately darted away.

Xiao Tao quickly ran to the door and looked outside. She saw that it was pitch black outside and the courtyard was empty. The pretty lady from before had disappeared without a trace.

No sooner had she returned to her room and sat down than the pretty woman suddenly came back in.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Nightingale said, "You go about your business, don't worry about me."

"Oh……"

Xiao Tao dared not embroider anymore, and would glance at her from time to time.

After a while.

A muffled groan suddenly came from inside the room, followed by a chaotic fluctuation of energy.

Nightingale's heart tightened, and she prepared to push the door open and go in.

Xiao Tao had been secretly watching her, and seeing her head towards the door, she quickly said, "You can't go in!"

Having said that, he immediately went over and opened his arms to block the doorway.

"No one is allowed to enter without the young master's permission."

Although the little girl seemed weak, her attitude was very firm.

Nightingale glanced at her, and just as she was about to speak, Luo Qingfeng suddenly said from inside, "Xiao Tao, let her in."

Xiao Tao paused for a moment before stepping aside and saying, "Oh."

Nightingale hurried inside.

Inside the room, the smoke from cigarettes curled gently, creating a hazy, indistinct atmosphere.

Luo Qingfeng sat on the couch, rubbing his head with both hands, a look of pain on his face.

I'm mentally exhausted and have a terrible headache.

It seemed like we were just one step away from success, just one more step away, and that Dongxi seemed like it would come out from the top of our heads.

"Are you cultivating?"

Nightingale entered the room, looking at the smoke filling the room and the expression on his face, and felt somewhat puzzled.

Luo Qingfeng opened his eyes, continued rubbing his head, and said, "I was cultivating. Did they just discover any demons outside?"

Nightingale nodded: "That demon just escaped here. If I had arrived any later, your little maid would probably have been possessed."

Luo Qingfeng's heart tightened, and he said, "Is it still that demon?"

Nightingale said, "It should be her. The captain and the other team members went after her, but I'm staying here in case she comes back."

Then he added, "That demon is really persistent, always wanting to possess your little maid's body. He probably still can't forget you."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Is it difficult to catch?"

Nightingale glanced out the window and said, "She probably can't escape. The captain just stabbed her again. A wounded demon's demonic energy will keep leaking out, and it will be difficult for her to hide again in a short time."

"How strong are they?"

Luo Qingfeng asked again.

Nightingale thought for a moment and said, "She shouldn't be too strong. She didn't resist at all, she just ran away. We don't know her exact strength."

Luo Qingfeng's expression was complicated: "Is it just about escaping?"

Nightingale raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't be soft-hearted again. She was just trying to harm your maid."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "I know."

Nightingale raised her hand to fan away the smoke in front of her and said, "Does your cultivation technique require some sandalwood incense?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "It's necessary to be safe at the beginning."

Nightingale nodded, asked no further questions, glanced out the window, and said, "Now that you're awake, I'll go help. Remember to keep an eye on your little maid."

Luo Qingfeng said, "I will."

Nightingale glanced at him again, twitched her fingers, and then climbed out the window.

Luo Qingfeng composed himself before getting up and leaving the room. He saw Xiao Tao sitting on a chair outside, lost in thought, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tao quickly stood up and said, "Young master, that...sister, do you...do you know her?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "He's my friend."

Xiao Tao said "Oh," as if she wanted to ask something but didn't dare.

"Let's go inside and sleep."

Luo Qingfeng went over and locked the door to the main room.

Xiao Tao put down her things, blew out the oil lamp on the table, followed him into the room, and then helped him take off his clothes, shoes, and socks, and get into bed.

It was already past midnight.

It was late at night and all was quiet outside.

Luo Qingfeng lay down on the bed, turned his head, and looked at the little girl in the room.

Xiao Tao locked the door and said softly, "Young master, would you like to turn off the lights?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Light it."

Xiao Tao said "Oh," lowered her head, walked to the bedside, took off her coat, climbed onto the bed, and was about to habitually lie down at his feet when Luo Qingfeng suddenly said, "Come here."

Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.

Luo Qingfeng then asked, "What, you're unwilling?"

Xiao Tao's face lit up with joy. She quickly crawled over, burrowed under the covers, and said shyly, her face flushed, "This servant is willing..."

Luo Qingfeng turned to the side, looking at her blushing face for a while, then took her soft, boneless hand in his and gently stroked it, saying, "Xiao Tao, have you ever learned how to serve someone?"

Xiao Tao said shyly, "Um... Granny Sun taught me..."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "How were you taught?"

Xiao Tao glanced at her shyly, then suddenly shrank back and burrowed under the covers.

Luo Qingfeng suddenly stopped her and said, "Take off your clothes first."

The little girl let out a soft "hmm" from under the covers, her cheeks burning as she untied her bodice.

Luo Qingfeng reached out and stroked her delicate face for a while, then slowly moved his hand down.

The little girl's heart was racing, her body trembled slightly with nervousness, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

Luo Qingfeng's hand stopped at her heart, and he suddenly asked, "Xiao Jing? Or Xiao Zi?"

The girl's body stiffened, but she remained silent.

A brief silence fell over the room.

Much later.

Luo Qingfeng spoke again, "Why bother? This will only make your sins heavier. I believe you didn't kill those people."

The girl remained quiet for a long time, her heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

She spoke softly, "Young master, but they all want to kill me... What have I done wrong?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "You killed your sister."

The girl whispered, "No, I'm helping her. I don't want her to be sent away, I don't want to be separated from her, and I don't want her to be bullied outside... I love her, so I want to become one with her..."

"quibble!"

Luo Qingfeng threw back the covers, looking at her coldly: "You only love yourself. You took her life away, leaving her naked body floating in the pond, seen by so many people. How can that be love? You only love yourself. You killed her for your own selfish desires, then pretended to be pitiful and came here, hoping that Xiao Tao and I would pity you and take you in..."

"The ridiculous thing is, you've even forgotten whether you're the older sister or the younger sister... You've long since lost all human reason!"

Tears welled in the girl's eyes: "Young master, if you had chosen my sister and me instead of Xiaotao, I wouldn't be like this... I know my sister wanted to come, and I wanted to too, so much... Seeing you protect Xiaotao so much in front of the head steward, we were so envious, so jealous... No one has ever treated us like that before... From childhood to adulthood, we've only ever been scolded and punished... No one loves us, no one cares for us, no one looks after us, and no one will protect us like you protected Xiaotao..."

"We are human too, we also want to be loved..."

Luo Qingfeng said coldly, "This is no excuse for you to harm people!"

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes and streamed down her face, glistening and clear.

"Young master, can't you grant my sister's and my wish? Let my sister and I serve you with Xiaotao's body for one night, just one night, is that alright?"

As the girl spoke, she leaned closer to him, looking pitiful, and slowly reached her small hand down towards his lower body. Her tear-filled eyes were filled with a heart-wrenching expression.

Luo Qingfeng's fingers tightened suddenly, starlight flowing from his fingertips, pressing firmly against her chest. His other hand grabbed hers, and he said coldly, "Do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

The girl, tears streaming down her face, said, "If you kill me, Xiao Tao will be gone too... Young master, how can you bear to do this?"

Luo Qingfeng said coldly, "She's just a little maid, why would I hesitate to do that?"

The girl looked at him with tears streaming down her face, her expression complex: "Young master, you won't be able to bear it. You are a good person, the best person I have ever met."

Tears streamed down her face, her eyes filled with envy: "That day, in front of the head steward, the young master couldn't bear to hurt her, and dared not take her. But when he heard the head steward say he would expel her from the manor, he couldn't bring himself to do it and took her back. These past few days, the young master has been so kind to her. Even when we slept together, he didn't hurt her casually. He deliberately left her half of his food, and spoke to her gently… The young master doesn't treat her like a servant at all, does he?"

Luo Qingfeng did not speak again.

The girl looked at him with teary eyes and pleaded, "Young master, please allow my sister and me to serve you just this once? After we're done, we'll leave and never come back, okay?"

Luo Qingfeng gazed at her quietly for a moment, then slowly relaxed the fingers that were pressing on her chest, and said, "Really? You really will leave and never come back?"

The girl nodded and said, "It's true, I swear. As long as you grant my and my sister's wishes, I will leave, and I will return Xiaotao to you in good condition."

Luo Qingfeng stared at her pitiful appearance for a long time before slowly releasing his hand from her chest and saying, "Don't hurt Xiaotao."

A happy smile appeared on the girl's face, and she said softly, "Don't worry, young master, it won't happen..."

As she spoke, her face flushed, and she shyly burrowed under the covers.

The instant she entered the darkness, her eyes suddenly turned scarlet, and two fangs slowly grew out from the corners of her mouth.

Her scarlet eyes were filled with greed and lust, and she opened her small mouth, about to bite into that place that fascinated her.

"Bang!"

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Luo Qingfeng suddenly punched her in the back of the head.

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over me!

Before she could react, Luo Qingfeng grabbed her, pulled her out of the covers, and then took out the broken knife he had prepared beforehand. The tip of the knife, gleaming with a sharp light, was instantly pressed against her heart!

The girl, her face streaked with tears, looked at him with a sorrowful expression and cried, "Young master, have you changed your mind?"

Luo Qingfeng said coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool? After one night of pleasure, I was drained dry and became a part of you, wasn't I?"

The girl, tears streaming down her face, said, "Young master, I swear..."

A mocking glint appeared in Luo Qingfeng's eyes: "An oath? A demon's oath, what good is it?"

Having said that, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the sharp blade had already pierced the skin of her heart.

Once her heart is pierced, the possessing demon will also die.

The girl cried, "Young master, I am Xiao Tao, I am Xiao Tao... How can you bear to kill me?"

Luo Qingfeng remained silent, his arm muscles bulging, his internal star power surging, and he suddenly exerted force, preparing to thrust downwards.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from between Xiao Tao's eyebrows, opening its blood-red maw to tear at him, its voice venomous as it shrieked, "What a heartless liar! He even killed the little maid who loved you the most!"

Luo Qingfeng was prepared and slashed at it with his sword.

However, the blade was full of nicks and chips. When he slashed down, the other person was not only unharmed, but was also sent flying.

The dark shadow opened its massive jaws, and its form began to grow rapidly.

Luo Qingfeng stood up from the ground, gripping the hilt of his sword with both hands, when suddenly the image of that huge, scarlet full moon flashed into his mind.

"Whoosh!"

A silver-white crescent moon suddenly appeared on the tip of the Demon-Slaying Blade.

Bloodstains appeared on the crescent moon, looking extremely eerie!

Silver Moon Slash!

The shadowy figure seemed to sense the threat and pounced on him before it had even finished transforming.

Luo Qingfeng swung his blade, and a silver moon blade light, stained with blood, shot out, instantly piercing through the black mist surrounding the shadowy figure and cleaving its entire body in two.

The two dark figures roared and flew over his head with a "whoosh," smashing open the window behind him and flying out!

However, someone was already waiting outside!

A tall, agile figure suddenly leaped out of the darkness, a flash of cold light in his hand, and once again split its two halves in two, then into four!

Enraged, the shadowy figure lunged at her frantically.

Luo Qingfeng jumped out of the window and suddenly slashed his arm. The blade quickly slashed across his arm, leaving it covered in blood.

The nightingale was knocked to the ground by the immense force of the enraged shadow.

The four black halves immediately gathered together, seemingly preparing to merge, but for some reason, the four halves made a hissing sound and could not be merged together at all.

The shadowy figure was shocked and immediately flashed into the air, trying to escape!

But at that moment, a crimson silver moon suddenly lit up on the tip of Luo Qingfeng's blade, and then flew out with a "whoosh," directly splitting its middle section in two once again!

This time, its hidden black heart at the very center was instantly cleaved in two!

It immediately let out a mournful and desperate roar.

Then, her body went limp, and like a kite with a broken string, she immediately fell from mid-air.

Fearing it might not be dead, the nightingale swooped down again and beheaded it with a single stroke!

"Dogs...dogs and dogs..."

"You...you will all...die here..."

"You can't kill it...you can't kill it...hahahahaha..."

The monster let out a final, desperate laugh before finally dying.

Meanwhile, on a rooftop not far away, several figures with their robes fluttering in the wind were rapidly approaching.

Luo Qingfeng immediately went back into the house and said, "Sister Nightingale, I'm leaving this to you."

He immediately closed the window, then suddenly asked, "By the way, will Xiaotao be alright?"

The nightingale said from outside the window, "If the possession didn't last long, there should be no problem."

Luo Qingfeng immediately went over, picked up the little girl, put her in the quilt, and then took out gauze and pressed it against her chest.

Blood was seeping out from there, from where he had just pierced the wound with the tip of the knife.

At that moment, he had no other choice but to take a desperate gamble, betting that the demon didn't want to die, so he pretended to pierce Xiao Tao's heart and kill the demon along with her.

If the other party doesn't come out, he naturally won't be able to make a move.

Fortunately, he made the right bet.

The little girl was pale, but her breathing was even and her heartbeat was still there, so she should be alright.

By this time, quite a few people had already arrived in the courtyard.

"Nightingale, did you kill this demon?"

A woman's voice rang out, sounding extremely surprised and unexpected.

Nightingale said calmly, "Yes, I killed him."

Another man's voice rang out: "Tsk tsk, Ah Ying is truly amazing! Yesterday, she actually found the body of that missing maid in such a secluded place, and today she single-handedly discovered the demon and killed it. She really is a born demon slayer!"

"hehe."

The nightingale's smile was both reserved and smug.

At this moment, a woman's cold voice rang out: "Don't be too smug. This should only be one of the demons, and the weakest one at that."

"Pack your things, let's go."

"Yes, Captain."

The group immediately collected the demon's corpse, cleaned up the traces on the ground, and left.

After a while.

Just as Luo Qingfeng thought everyone had left, a strange woman's voice suddenly rang out from outside the window: "Young Master Luo, you must still be awake, right? May I come in?"

Luo Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine but remained silent.

The voice continued, "I am Tang Wu, the captain of this demon-slaying team from the South Branch of the Demon-Suppressing Academy. If Young Master Luo is still awake, I would like to have a chat with you, is that alright?"

Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to say, "I'm already asleep."

Tang Wu said, "It's alright, as long as Young Master Luo is asleep, I can stand by the bed and chat with you."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."
