Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Two Little Guys

He had a title and was a man of many years of study. The so-called "beauty lies within the pages of books", and what he learned was the skill to pursue such beauty. His words and manner were naturally different from the male bat demons and human males that the female bat demon usually encountered. The mother of the two little bat demons had never heard such sweet talk before, and with the scholar bringing her small gifts every other day, she came to see this human male as a marvelous person she had never met before. After interacting for over a month, she actually developed feelings for this Mr. Zhang.

"Our leader of the Demon Bat Clan, Wo Tou, is very strict with everyone," Bai Jing said, clenching his fists, "Our mother found a man here, so she had to explain it to the clan. Twenty days ago, mom went back to confess, asking to move out and live with Mr. Zhang, but the Clan Leader wouldn’t allow it!"

Bai Hong’s small eyes gleamed with hatred as he choked up, "Mother is strong-willed. Wo Tou wouldn’t let mother leave, and they got into a fight. His demonic power is much stronger than that of the ordinary clan members. When we arrived, mother... mother had already been thrown outside of Gao Village. She was severely injured, and after seeing us for the last time, she died!"

The mother of these two little monsters had died for such reasons, which was unexpected. Indeed, Afu had not told the whole truth.

But what does their mother’s death have to do with Mr. Zhang and the women from South County?

"After mother died, we went into hiding."

Bai Hong added, "When Ming Xiao City was breached, the invading Demon Soldiers would kill anyone they saw from the City Lord Mansion, saying it was ’eradicating the roots’; now that mother is dead, the Clan Leader will definitely not let us go."

"We hid outside for a few days, too scared to sleep at night. We were very tired, and then we thought of going to Mr. Zhang’s home to ask to stay for a while."

Ning Xiaoxian gave a wry smile. These two little demons said they just wanted to borrow a place to stay, but who knew how they would end up threatening the homeowner. Could it be that Mr. Zhang refused, so he was killed by them?

Taking over the conversation, Bai Jing said, "Mother really liked him, so we thought if we asked him nicely, he would surely let us stay. But more than ten days ago, when we sneaked to his window, we heard noises coming from inside. Bai Hong climbed to the window and saw Mr. Zhang on top of a Human Clan woman, doing something very joyful!"

Something very joyful? Ning Xiaoxian blinked, and it took her two seconds to comprehend, then her face flushed with embarrassment!

"How do you know that was something very joyful?" These two little monsters were so young, yet they spoke with such an air of maturity. Ah, why did she even ask that question?

Who knew Bai Jing and Bai Hong would look at each other and say, "Of course we know. Mother and Mr. Zhang also did that very joyful thing often in this house. We could hear from afar that sometimes mother would scream very loudly, and sometimes she would groan intermittently, as if she was in a lot of pain. We thought Mr. Zhang was hitting her and were about to teach him a lesson, but mother told us that it was something especially joyful and comfortable, and to not interfere!"

Knowing her own children could hear with their keen ears, yet a female of the Demon Clan could be so uninhibited! She covered her face with her hand, not knowing how to hide her embarrassment. She had to remember that she wasn’t the only one listening to this story here!

"But mother disappeared only a few days before, and Mr. Zhang didn’t go looking for her, instead, he got with another woman doing that. Mother had said that Mr. Zhang could only do that with her. So, he wronged my mother!" Bai Hong said angrily, clenching his fists, "The worst part is, when we told him we wanted to stay here for a few days, he actually refused and threatened to report us to the officials!"

A human threatening a demon? This sounded like an old person on the brink of death complaining that life was too long; even if there were only two little demons, they would hardly be threatened by this.

"So you killed him, and... that woman?"

Both little demons nodded in unison: "Yeah, we were hungry too!"

"..." What could she say? Was this some kind of melodramatic tale of vengeance among the Demon Clan? "Alright, let’s get to the main point. You’ve come to me because you want to do what?"

Bai Jing and Bai Hong’s faces turned solemn upon hearing these words.

"Before our mother died, she told us not to seek revenge and to run away quickly."

Bai Hong continued, "We did run, but we must avenge our mother. However, we are just two of the most useless little bat demons, and we’re no match for Wo Tou and his subordinates."

"We can’t handle this by ourselves. So..."

Her mind clicked, and she interjected, "So you killed two people to draw Cultivators to Siping County for investigation, hoping that the Cultivators would kill Wo Tou and avenge you, right?" The reason the Fu Bat Clan could operate under the nose of the Chi Xiao Sect for several months without being discovered was that they only sucked blood without killing, avoiding alarming the Cultivators.

But now with the murder cases, the victims were drained of all their blood, which unmistakably seemed like the work of demons. As long as the Cultivators are willing to investigate, the fact that the Bat Demon Clan is hiding in Gao Village will be exposed, and these two little demons have an innate talent for protection, preventing them from exposing demon energy, making them undetectable by either demons or Cultivators.

These two little demons are young but are so cunning and manipulative, understanding the strategy of "letting others do the dirty work."

Bai Hong said coldly, "Sister Ning is really smart. That’s exactly what we did. It’s just that the sect on Chixiao Mountain is too incompetent. Even after the death of two mortals, they didn’t send anyone to check. If you hadn’t come, we would have had to kill one or two more people to remind them." After speaking, he pouted, clearly dissatisfied.

After hearing this, Ning Xiaoxian felt a chill in her heart. They are demons, after all, naturally not valuing the lives of the Human Clan even if they appear to be children of five or six years old.

"True Master Quan led people to Gao Village, but they didn’t kill Wo Tou. He escaped," said Bai Jing. "So, we want to ask sister for help, to kill Wo Tou and avenge our mother!"

Wait, did she hear it wrong?

She pointed to herself and then to the twins across from her, "Are you saying you want me to avenge you?"

The two little demons nodded in unison.

She gave a wry smile, "I’m just an ordinary mortal, unable to pull off any tricks even if I fall into your hands. With what should I kill Wo Tou, who is at least ten times stronger than you?"

Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on the faces of Bai Hong and Bai Jing, which made her feel unsettled. Had these two little fellows sensed the secret she was carrying? That shouldn’t be possible!

"Ever since sister asked us to find True Master Quan, we knew sister wasn’t an ordinary person. You have so many methods and know many True Masters. Moreover, Wo Tou isn’t having a better time than us now! If sister is willing to help, we will definitely have a chance to kill him!"

Just how did that female bat demon raise her children, that they even know how to use words like "to get rid of"? Now that the Cultivators have left, she has no backing. Do these kids know that?

Bai Jing said, "After Wo Tou’s arm was broken, he has not left Siping County."

"He managed to evade the True Masters’ search but not our noses. He is hiding in the wasteland outside the southern gate of Siping County, and—" he emphasized, "when we left just now, another Cultivator sister was fighting with him!"
