Chapter 473: Encounter with a Natural Born Demon
Chapter 473: Encounter with a Natural Born Demon
Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei sighed in his heart and slowly walked up to the two little ones.
He squatted down, touched the little girl's head, forced a smile, and comforted her softly.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you! I just... have something to ask you. If you are willing to tell me, I can take you out of the city!"
"Big...Big brother...you really won't hurt us?"
The little girl held her brother tightly at this time, staring at Qi Tongwei with a bit of uneasiness and fear.
"Of course!"
Qi Tongwei made another promise, then he picked up the two little ones and jumped into a dilapidated courtyard.
He casually set up a simple isolation formation and then asked for the information he wanted to know.
"Do you know where the Peony Flower Demon Ge Jin of Chu is?"
"Sister Ge Jin..."
To Qi Tongwei's surprise, the two little ones actually knew of Ge Jin's existence and even called each other sister.
Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up and he quickly squatted down to ask.
"Don't worry, I'm not one of those monks who slays demons and defends the way, nor do I belong to the three sects. I will take you out of the city later. Trust me, okay?"
The little girl pursed her lips, looked up at Qi Tongwei, who had a sincere expression and kind eyes, and showed hesitation.
In the end, she chose to believe Qi Tongwei and told him what she knew.
"Sister Ge Jin originally lived in the forest east of this city..."
After listening to the little girl's story, Qi Tongwei gradually figured out the information about the flower demon.
It turned out that as a man-eating monster, Ge Jin had been targeted by the three sect disciples many days ago.
To be precise, the initial goal of the three disciples was the red-robed peony scarf.
It’s just because the Red Peony is so powerful and has absorbed some of the magic power of the magic tree.
As a result, the three disciples were ultimately defeated by Ge Jin, forcing Ge Jin to escape from the forest.
The three disciples naturally did not want to return empty-handed, so they picked some rabbits and killed the parents and elders of the two little ones.
According to the two little ones, their parents and elders had never harmed anyone for many years, but this time they suffered a devastating disaster.
Regarding this matter, when Qi Tongwei was gathering information in the afternoon, he was able to confirm that the two little ones did not lie to him.
Because the mortals in the city had never heard of the parents of the two little ones.
This shows that the corpses of the demons hanging at the city gate have never harmed anyone.
On the contrary, the flower demon Ge Jin was notorious and mortals often disappeared in the forest where Ge Jin lived.
This kind of thing actually did not surprise Qi Tongwei!
In fact, most demons in the world rarely actively harm people, mainly because they have no motive.
This is because most demons have their own bloodline-inherited skills.
Or like the Bai Suzhen sisters, they took different paths of cultivation.
The demon race that cultivates themselves by devouring humans is considered a minority group, and most of the reasons are related to the demon race's cultivation techniques.
This time, the disciples of the three sects are in Xizhou to fight against demons and defend the way of righteousness.
But he indiscriminately killed all the demons he saw.
For the demon group in Xizhou, this was a blow of catastrophic level.
Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei nodded, narrowed his tiger eyes slightly, then lowered his head and spoke to the two nervous little ones.
"Come with me, I will take you out of the city now!"
There are probably seven or eight disciples of the three sects in the city now.
If he is lucky, Qi Tongwei should not encounter this group of people.
Of course, when Qi Tongwei was talking about good luck, he was not referring to himself, but to his three disciples.
That group of human cultivators had better pray that they don’t meet Qi Tongwei today.
Otherwise, there would be more wronged souls in the Netherworld or Guixu World.
When the little girl heard Qi Tongwei say this, he looked like he was going to take her and her brother out of the city directly.
She couldn't help but blink and asked in a low voice, not quite sure.
"Big Brother...are you planning to take us out of the city like this?"
Seeing Qi Tongwei nodded nonchalantly without making any preparations, the little girl mustered up the courage to make a suggestion.
"Big brother, how about... how about we wait until dawn and go out with the mortals? Okay..."
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but laugh. He didn't care about the little girl's worries at all.
"Don't worry, I said I'll take you out, and no one can hurt you!"
The little girl saw that Qi Tongwei did not take the three disciples seriously, so she gritted her teeth and said.
"Big brother, please take my brother out. Hold him in your arms so that no one will find him. I..."
"okay!"
Qi Tongwei scolded impatiently, "Don't have so many ideas, just follow me, understand?"
"it is good…"
Gulu!
The next moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the little girl's stomach.
Qi Tongwei was stunned after hearing this and couldn't help but stop.
"you…"
"Brother, I'm sorry... We haven't eaten for many days..."
At this moment, the little girl was like a child who had made a mistake, with her hands tangled together, not daring to look up at Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei thought about it. He knew that the demons generally ate everything without any dietary restrictions.
So he simply took out the rations and dried meat he carried with him and handed them to the two little ones.
By the way, I don't know which demon used his handkerchief to dip it in water and wipe the two little ones' dirty cheeks.
"There's no rush to leave the city, eat something first!"
"Thank you, big brother..."
The two kids took the food handed to them by Qi Tongwei, and the little girl, as the older sister, even bowed to Qi Tongwei.
Then she pulled her brother and they started eating, taking turns to eat.
The two were obviously very hungry. They ate ravenously and would glance at Qi Tongwei from time to time.
It seemed that he was afraid that eating too much would cause Qi Tongwei's disgust and dissatisfaction.
In this regard, Qi Tongwei, who has never been good at dealing with relationships with children, could only force a smile.
He signaled to the two kids not to take it too seriously as it was such an insignificant matter.
Only after the two little ones had eaten and drunk their fill did Qi Tongwei take the little girl's hand.
The little girl hugged her trembling brother, and together they walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the east gate.
Qi Tongwei planned to send the two little ones out of the city safely first.
If the other party is willing, he will let the Queen Mother of the West take the two little ones to settle down in Guixu Realm.
If the other party is unwilling, he will not force it.
As for why going east?
Because according to what the two little ones said, Ge Jin fled to the east, Qi Tongwei naturally had to search eastward for the traces of the two flower fairies.
……
The streets of ancient cities at night were not brightly lit like modern ones, but extremely dark.
If you don’t meet the night watchman holding a lantern, the only light in the dark night is the faint moonlight.
Qi Tongwei took the two kids and walked towards the east city gate.
When he approached the city gate, as expected, an accident happened.
