Hua Jian made up an excuse, which Ming Shu clearly didn’t believe. She guessed that this psychopath might also have a task similar to hers.
But several times recently, he just focused on killing her snacks coupon. The more she thought about it, the wronger it felt.
“Stay away from her,” Ming Shu threatened Hua Jian.
“Why!”
Didn’t you beat her up yourself? Why can’t I kill her?
The magistrates are free to burn down houses, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps?
I’m not buying this!
Ming Shu smiled meaningfully and said in a light voice, “No reason.”
F**k, why do I listen to you, who do you think you are!
Wait!
Did I just say that aloud?
No... did I?
Hua Jian was a little unsure. If I didn’t say it aloud, how could she know what I was thinking? Did I let it slip in my anger?
No... no, no, it shouldn’t be like that.
I am a highly qualified agent, how will I make such a noob mistake.
Seeing Hua Jian begin to fall into his own thoughts, Ming Shu looked aside to check the place where Jian Ying fell. There was no one there, she probably left.
Ming Shu then stood up from the ground and walked over there. She took the knife out of the tree trunk.
Ming Shu saw this knife several times, but she hadn’t touched it.
It felt a little cold, a little heavier than an ordinary knife, and was a little longer than an adult man’s hand...
A hand then reached over from behind her and grasped the knife’s blade.
Ming Shu subconsciously loosened her hand and the knife was easily taken back by Hua Jian. He put it behind his back.
Ming Shu chutted, then left toward Jingshan Mountain.
“Why did you gather so many demons?” Hua Jian put away his knife and caught up with Ming Shu.
“To inherit the throne, didn’t I tell you? Was your brain eaten by dogs?” Ming Shu took out the small steamed buns she hadn’t finished before and began to eat again. The milk scent floated out immediately, flying around the conversation. “Come, eat some walnuts, it’s good for your brain.”
Hua Jian: “...” F**k, is she saying that my IQ is low? What’s this stupid mission, I won’t do it now!
Hua Jian walked faster and soon surpassed Ming Shu.
Ming Shu wasn’t in a hurry though. She followed behind him slowly and saw Hua Jian seemed like he was rushing to a battlefield, feeling very pleased.
As they arrived at Jingshan Mountain, Ming Shu continued to go up but Hua Jian paused, looking back at her. “Won’t you go back with me?”
“No.”
Hua Jian was silent for a moment and didn’t say anything, then turned to leave.
She would piss him off if she went back, so it was best to just let her run her own course.
Ming Shu stood at the mountain’s foot and looked at him. After a long while, she suddenly flew over to stand in front of Hua Jian, revealing a big smile. “Let me tell you a secret.”
“What is it?” Hua Jian became alert.
“You’re as stupid as a pig.”
Hua Jian: “...”
Where is my knife!
Don’t stop me, I’ll hack her to death today.
She’s actually coming to curse me to my face, what’s wrong with her brain!
Ming Shu smiled and flew back. Her soft hair passed by his face, leaving a faint refreshing peach blossom fragrance. Hua Jian lowered his head to look at the thing in his hand.
It was a transparent glass bottle.
There were some fine spots of light sticking on the inside, glittering constantly.
Is this... a phoenix-spirit butterfly?
Hua Jian looked back at Jingshan Mountain. In the swaying bamboo forest, her figure had disappeared.
...
Finally Jian Ying was also found. After everyone had retreated, Ming Shu made the demons dig up the demon core in the forest.
Many hands provided great strength, and they could also sense the demon core’s position from time to time, so it was no hassle for them to dig out the demon core.
Ming Shu held the demon core presented by the little demons in her hand. It was the size of a thumb, as red as blood cinnabar, revealing a great power.
Even though it was a demon core, its power was a little scary to the demons. It was not hard to tell that this big demon was really... big before its death.
Ming Shu didn’t want to eat this thing.
She found a flat stone and put the demon core on it, grinding it into powder.
The small demons watched the process in shock. Their cultivation level was low so they were scared of the demon core. But their newly appointed king shouldn’t be as scared as them...
Why is she grinding it into powder?
That is a demon core!
It can enhance the cultivation level!
King, stop!
Ming Shu grinded the whole demon core into powder and put some into a bowl of water nearby, then she said to her small demons, “Come, anyone want to have a try?”
The demons: “...”
They all felt a little frightened; suddenly the demon core looked like a poison and no one dared to try.
“National treasure, come.” Ming Shu signaled Big Bao to try it first.
Big Bao glared at her with two panda eyes. “W-why?”
“Because you’re the national treasure.” Ming Shu stuffed the bowl into his furry paws smilingly, and also took the opportunity to grab the bamboo shoots that he hadn’t had time to eat. “Second boss, we’re all watching you, don’t panic!”
Big Bao, national treasure, second boss: “...”
Murder!
This is a murder! I’ll call the police, wuwuwu, someone is here to abuse a national treasure.
Give back my bamboo shoots.
In Jingshan Mountain, not every bamboo contained Qi. Ming Shu didn’t know where Big Bao had gotten these bamboo shoots and didn’t find any herself, so she had to rob Big Bao of them.
Under the gazes of all demons, Big Bao gritted his teeth and drank up the water in one go.
“No flavor.” Big Bao licked his lips, but the next second he covered his belly and squeezed his panda face into a round ball. He roared while gritting the teeth, “Ah, If I die you’re all murderers. Murdering the national treasure is illegal!”
Washroom.
I need to go to the washroom!
Big Bao ran in a direction where there were fewer demons. The surrounding demons then stepped back one after another, fearing that Ming Shu would make them drink as well.
Ming Shu: “...” Isn’t this good stuff?
Why are you little demons all so scared?
This year’s demons are not qualified.
The demons thought they’d better absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. The demon core was not something suitable for them, and they were scared.
Big Bao didn’t come back for a long time. He had collapsed and sat directly on a fallen trunk weakly.
Kacha—
The trunk broke.
Big Bao fell straight to the ground, face-first. His clumsy body looked very clownish.
“Pu—”
“What are you laughing! There’s nothing to laugh at,” Big Bao roared at the demons that laughed.
Ming Shu also chuckled. “National treasure, you should lose some weight.”
Big Bao climbed up from the ground. As he stood there, he turned into a 12-to-13- year-old young man, who looked very tender and white.
Big Bao: “...”
The demons: “...”
Big Bao was capable of changing form, but he said a national treasure should look like a national treasure.
His true shape was more popular, so even Ming Shu hadn’t seen him change to another form.
But right now he suddenly changed form...
Big Bao held his breath and his face flushed. One minute later, he suddenly sat on the floor and began to cry without tears, “I can’t change back.”
A tender and white young man sat on the ground, crying and yelling, and this scene...
All the other demons including Ming Shu felt, strangely, a little embarrassed for him.
After a long while, Ming Shu broke the silence. “It’s probably because the demon core is abundant in nutrients. Just absorb it slowly and soon you’ll change back again.”
Big Bao’s eyes turned red and tears began to slip down his cheeks. He was really very sad.
Ming Shu ignored him then. She calmly put all the leftover powder into a bucket of water and made all the other demons drink. After that, she told them to convince other demons to join her great cause using the remaining water with the demon core powder.
