Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Vampire Bat

Important!! A reader asked me why there are often pinyin in the text? It’s like this, lately there’s been a nationwide crackdown, and some words and phrases have been banned. It’s not that Shui Yun doesn’t know how to type the character, but the whole phrase is disallowed from appearing. I think, you guys definitely understand!

Just bear with the pinyin, Shui Yun is quite helpless too, 55555

He frowned and said, "But the Bat Demon’s range of activity is quite fixed, it should be over a thousand li to the west of here. And Bat Demons are not usually so vicious to bite people to death directly."

However, she disagreed: "Maybe this particular Bat Demon is especially ferocious, who knows? Anyone who has taken biology knows that there is individual variation among living things, especially in demons, whose minds are much more complex than ordinary wild beasts."

Yu Yao said with a smile, "There’s also that possibility. Never mind, we will eventually get to the bottom of it. This matter is too dangerous for Miss Ning, it’s better to wait for our news."

Before she could speak, a female voice already chimed in beside her: "Indeed. Miss Ning, please return home, demon extermination is the duty of a Cultivator and irrelevant to mortals."

Ning Xiaoxian immediately smelled a fragrance wafting over.

She rolled her eyes and turned to look, and as expected, it was Shi Jishan. Probably knowing that Quan Shifang likes plainness, she had changed out of yesterday’s red attire and was now in a simple lake-green robe, with a soft jade belt at her waist, which made her waist appear delicate and graspable. It seemed she paid extra attention to her makeup today, her eyebrows were like paintings, her eyes conveyed affection. Standing beside the plain-faced Ning Xiaoxian, she looked like a Jinzhi strolling beside a little swallow.

Shi Jishan was slightly taller than her. Now with her head raised, her presence seemed even more imposing. She said, "Don’t worry, Miss Ning. Senior Brother Quan and I will surely find out the cause and effect."

Is she trying to look down on people with her nostrils? Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t hold back any longer, and said with a smile that was not quite a smile: "Miss Shi looks particularly beautiful today, and the makeup especially delicate and attractive."

Shi Jishan felt joy in her heart and could not help but feel flattered, but then she heard Ning Xiaoxian continue, "However, are you sure you want to dress up like this to investigate a murder case? I heard that demons have very sharp noses. With your sweet scent today, won’t the demon just catch the wind and flee?"

At this moment, Yu Yao was standing by Shi Jishan’s side, and could already smell the bursts of fragrance coming from her. He found Ning Xiaoxian’s comment amusing and was about to laugh out loud, but seeing Senior Sister Shi’s murderous glance swept over, he quickly held his breath and gritted his teeth, focusing on keeping his composure to hold back the laughter.

Shi Jishan looked at Ning Xiaoxian with anger in her eyes at first, but after staring for a long while, her expression gradually turned cold, and she suddenly smiled, "Miss Ning is truly different from the rest. In that case, feel free to join us in the investigation!"

How nicely put. Women know women best. Shi Jishan dressed up like this just to outshine her in front of Quan Shifang, right? To let her know the difference between a Cultivator and a mortal?

Seeing the increasing tension between the two women, Yu Yao hurriedly smoothed things over, "There’s nothing much to see here. The Senior Brother who went to South County for the examination should also be done soon, let’s return to Huang Mansion to meet up." Huang Mansion is the external family home of Quan Shifang. Alas, Senior Brother Quan really has irresistible charm, wherever he goes he can stage such scenes of two women contending. He just wonders if Senior Brother Quan is willing to share his secrets, so he can also be favored by women.

At this moment, Changtian suddenly whispered in her ear, "Someone is peeping around the corner of the building to your left rear."

Startled, she swiftly turned her head.

Behind the wooden pillar of the building, a head peeked out wearing a small yellow cap, looking like a little servant boy sweeping the floors. Seeing her turn her head, he quickly retracted.

Ning Xiaoxian pointed and shouted, "Someone’s over there!"

A shadow darted from behind the building. Yu Yao’s expression tightened, and he dashed in that direction immediately. Cultivators also seem to have good physical strength, as based on Ning Xiaoxian’s estimation, his 100-meter dash speed should be around five seconds, right? That’s much faster than an average person.

Still, after half a moment, he came back empty-handed, dejected, "Lost him!"

When the three returned to Huang Mansion, the disciples of Chaoyun Sect who had gone to investigate the southern end of Siping County had also come back, bringing information that was almost the same as what they already knew.

After Quan Shifang returned, everyone felt somewhat disheartened because the officials had not found any useful evidence either.

The Huang Family was a prominent household in Siping County with abundant farmland. Quan Shifang’s maternal grandfather was plump and fair, with kind eyes and a benevolent face; Ning Xiaoxian somehow couldn’t see him as an avaricious landlord like Zhou Baopi. Of course, it was also a good thing that Handsome Quan didn’t resemble his grandfather; otherwise, he couldn’t be linked to the word "handsome" at all.

Seeing his grandson’s friend count increase by one, Old Huang instructed cheerfully to prepare a feast. Ning Xiaoxian could feel that this wealthy Old Huang was particularly cordial towards her, probably because within the entire household, only she and this little girl were mortals.

Quan Shifang pondered for a moment and said: "I went to Yizhuang to inspect the female corpse, and indeed found four small holes on the neck, but the punctures were large and very deep, with the blood almost entirely sucked out. The method was quite cruel." He turned his gaze to Ning Xiaoxian, remembering she was also present, and instantly regretted describing it so vividly, worried that he might have frightened her, inadvertently frowning.

Shi Jishan observed his actions closely; seeing him glance at Ning Xiaoxian and then frown, she assumed he found Ning Xiaoxian somewhat repulsive and couldn’t help feeling pleased inside: "It seems my meticulous grooming today was the right choice. She’s just a mortal, and even if Senior Brother Quan had a momentary interest, he would forget it in an instant."

After further discussion, when Yu Yao mentioned that Ning Xiaoxian had spotted someone behind the pillar, everyone’s gaze turned towards her.

Quan Shifang said: "Miss Ning, can you still remember that person’s appearance and attire?" Since the person was peeping from behind the house, there was a high chance that he was involved.

Ning Xiaoxian recalled: "I don’t remember much. He was of average height, with particularly small eyes, and wore a small yellow cap on his head. It seems that besides that... " The time was too short, and with her 5.2 eyesight, she couldn’t notice much more. She wasn’t a frog, with an absurd dynamic vision!

Suddenly, Changtian said, "Pale and sallow complexion, corners of mouth downturned, thin body, a mole by the right corner of his eye, cap embroidered with a bird-shaped pattern."

Ning Xiaoxian immediately said, "...Oh right, I also remember he had a thin body, pale and sallow complexion, corners of mouth downturned, a mole by the right corner of his eye, a cap embroidered with a bird-shaped pattern!"

Having finished this sentence in one breath, everyone in the room stared at her, dumbstruck.

F*cking hell, and she says she doesn’t remember much?

Damn! Noticing so many details at a glance doesn’t seem like something a mortal would do. She was too careless.

Don’t worry, she reassured herself. After all, she’s just a mortal without even a Spirit Root, full of "True Quantity", with nothing to fear from any inspection.

Sure enough, Quan Shifang cleared his throat and said: "Miss Ning, you really do have good eyesight." A bunch of men followed suit, nodding their heads in confusion.

She laughed awkwardly: "Just happened to catch a glimpse. Luck, it’s just luck."

Alas, the one with terrifying eyesight was Changtian, not her. His dynamic vision seemed to be even more bizarre than a frog’s...

Quan Shifang looked deeply at her, then turned to ask Old Huang: "Grandfather, do any of our nearby families have servants whose uniforms feature a bird-shaped pattern?"

Phew, the topic had thankfully shifted away, and Ning Xiaoxian discreetly breathed a sigh of relief. Little did she know that her every expression was caught by Quan Shifang in the corner of his eye.
