Reality had proven that the demon had the guts to commit such a crime.

The situation was developing in the worst possible direction. Unsurprisingly, after an hour of searching, the Demon Hunters could not find any trace of the demon even after digging three feet into the ground. Everyone was in a state of panic.

In the square of the Fairy Community, the darkness of the night magnified the uneasiness. Even though the leaders of the major law firms tried their best to appease the crowd, it did not work. The whispers slowly turned into curses at the demon and doubts about the abilities of the Demon Hunters. It was noisy and impetuous.

Most of the people in Gou Liang's law firm were guardians of B-rank and above. They had seen the world, so they were still calm and did not speak out of turn. Zhou Ge saw Gou Liang's ugly expression and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Do, are you okay? Don't be afraid. There are so many of us here. Nothing will happen. "

Gou Liang smiled and thanked him for his concern.

Zhou Ge was worried about the unknown big fairy beside him. He did not say much and only told him to relax. As he spoke, he noticed that Xiao Qiu was too quiet tonight. He asked her if she was frightened.

Xiao Qiu shook her head slowly and stroked the little girl at her feet. She lowered her head and did not speak.

The usually lively little vixen was also listless. She hugged Xiao Qiu's leg and did not let go.

Zhou Ge thought that foxes were cunning and much braver than humans. How could they be frightened so easily? She must be taking the opportunity to act spoiled and try to get more spiritual energy from Xiao Qiu. He was about to tease her when he heard the little girl burp.

The familiar sound that brought back unpleasant memories immediately made Gou Liang look over. The little vixen covered her mouth and shyly hid behind Xiao Qiu.

Zhou Ge laughed and said to Xiao Qiu, "Don't feed her anymore. Look at her burping. You can't spoil her like this."

Xiao Qiu did not react, but the little vixen let go of her hand and smiled sweetly at Zhou Ge.

Zhou Ge had never had much resistance towards the little loli. Seeing that she was uneasy, he especially comforted her with a few words. He only stopped when the little goblin he was in charge of unhappily pulled him back.

Gou Liang took another look at Xiao Qiu and the little vixen. He felt that Xiao Qiu was too quiet tonight. He could see that she was tired even with her head lowered. However, he was in a bad mood and didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he didn't ask.

He was only concerned about the fey's whereabouts. After an hour, he still couldn't find the demon's whereabouts. He didn't know where it had escaped to. By the time he found it, he wouldn't even be able to find its dregs. After a few more days, it would finish digesting all the feys it had stolen and increase its strength greatly. Who knew what kind of trouble it would cause?

Gou Liang hated trouble the most. Just thinking about it made him unhappy.

He whispered to Long Yao, "You didn't find the demon either?"

Long Yao had been looking at Gou Liang the whole time. At this time, he pulled Gou Liang to his side. He didn't let go of his arm around him, so that he could distance himself from Xiao Qiu on his left. Then, he shook his head slightly and said to him through Secret Voice-sending, "Be careful. It hasn't left yet."

Gou Liang opened his eyes slightly. This demon was so arrogant. It didn't take the Demon King seriously at all.

He realized that things were getting tricky. Even Long Yao had scruples and didn't make a move. Needless to say, that thing must have something to do with the Space-Time Goblin Mirror. Maybe it was a surprise that the Goblin Mirror specially prepared for Long Yao.

According to the Space-Time Goblin Mirror's nature, the plot arranged by Samsara this time was what Long Yao didn't want to happen the most. In that case, this demon was the one that Long Yao didn't want to see the most.

Who could it be? There weren't many demons that could be remembered by Long Yao. The Goblin Mirror couldn't have resurrected the unlucky Demon King Long Qi, could it?

This was really a deep hatred.

He was lost in thought when he suddenly heard a voice. "Xiao Do, can you and Zhou Ge accompany me to the bathroom?"

The voice was low and monotonous. It had a somewhat gloomy effect. Gou Liang felt his scalp tingle. He turned around and saw that it was Xiao Qiu. His frown deepened.

Xiao Qiu looked very strange. Her eyes were dark, as if too much of her spiritual power had been absorbed by the little demon. But as an excellent guardian of the demon, she shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

But since Long Yao and the System didn't warn him, Gou Liang didn't take it to heart.

On the other side, Zhou Ge had already agreed to Xiao Qiu's request. He was wondering why Xiao Qiu was acting so strange. It turned out that she had three needs. Women were thin-skinned. She was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look into their eyes.

After reporting to the Deputy Director, the three of them walked to the public bathroom across the square.

The public bathrooms in the Demon Community were not separated by gender, but by race. They were only separated by gender in each cubicle. When they reached the place, Zhou Ge said, "I'm going to relieve myself too. Xiao Do, do you want to come with me?"

Gou Liang shook his head. "I'll wait for you at the door."

Zhou Ge warned him, "Go inside and stand. It's brighter. If there's anything wrong, just shout."

Gou Liang naturally agreed.

He leaned against the sink and watched them enter the cubicle. He was still thinking about the possibility of getting the fey back. He didn't notice that a few wisps of black gas suddenly emerged from the mirror behind him. They gathered and condensed into a pair of black hands. They stretched out from the mirror and strangled Gou Liang's neck.

[The System screamed in fright: Master, be careful behind you!!!]

Gou Liang's whole body trembled. He ran two steps back and looked back. He saw that the mirror behind him was smooth and clean, and only his panicked face was reflected.

This didn't make Gou Liang relax. Instead, it made him even more nervous. He opened his mouth to warn Xiao Qiu and Zhou Ge, but he suddenly saw the light bulb above his head flash. When the light bulb returned to normal, Gou Liang saw that there was another person behind him in the mirror.

Gou Liang's scalp immediately exploded!

Seeing that it was Xiao Qiu, Gou Liang didn't feel much better. He held back his temper and said, "Sister Xiao Qiu, why are you standing behind me without saying anything?" He then raised his voice and shouted, "Zhou Ge, are you done?"

At this time, shouting loudly could give people a certain sense of security, but the effect was somewhat counterproductive in the toilet.

He didn't get a response from Zhou Ge. He could only hear his own voice echoing in the toilet. It was like a cold wind blowing into Gou Liang's bones, making his hair stand on end.

Gou Liang looked at Xiao Qiu and saw her smiling at him. His whole body felt unwell.

If he still couldn't see through Xiao Qiu's strangeness, Gou Liang could eat his IQ on a live broadcast. He was on guard and said with a hollow laugh, "Sister Xiao Qiu, let's go take a look. I don't want anything to happen."

The smile on Xiao Qiu's face became even more obvious, but she seemed to be unable to control her facial nerves. Her smile was very ugly. She only smiled insincerely and said to Gou Liang, "The spiritual aura on your body is very strange. It doesn't smell like an ordinary human."

She flicked her finger, and the ring on Gou Liang's pinky cracked. The spiritual aura in his body suddenly had nowhere to hide.

As soon as she smelled his scent, the smile on Xiao Qiu's face suddenly distorted. She opened her eyes wide in astonishment and cried out, "How could you be —"

"Xiao Do!!"

Gou Liang's body trembled when he heard a thunderous shout. His eyes suddenly regained focus. He blinked a few times under the glare of the incandescent light. He saw Brother Zhou shaking him vigorously and shouting his name in panic.

"Zhou Ge?"

Gou Liang was a bit confused. He turned his head and saw someone standing next to Zhou Ge — if it wasn't Xiao Qiu, who else could it be?!

Gou Liang secretly sucked in a breath of cold air and hurriedly looked for the system.

[System, what's going on?]

[How many times have I told you? I'm Xiao Si. You used to call me Darling Q ^ Q.]

[… Let's talk business!]

[Master, this demon's innate ability is to create illusions. You fell into it just now and I couldn't wake you up. But you're now free from the illusion, so don't worry.]

[Then is there a problem with this Xiao Qiu in front of me?]

[She's definitely not a normal person. It's just that I can't find out what's wrong with her. There's something blocking my detection. I've already contacted the main system for assistance.]

[It should be the Space-Time Goblin Mirror's doing. I understand. Help me keep an eye on her and her little fairy.]

[Okay, I understand, Master.]

Gou Liang was very wary of Xiao Qiu. He pulled Zhou Ge away from Xiao Qiu without anyone noticing. He then raised his hand and looked at his pinky finger. Sure enough, what he experienced just now was an illusion. His pinky ring was still intact on his finger.

Xiao Qiu looked at him and the smile on her face became even more meaningful.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps rushing towards them. The Demon Hunter saw the three of them and looked around. He asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

Zhou Ge was at a loss. It was obvious that his shouting had alerted the Demon Hunter. He did not expect it to be a false alarm.

Gou Liang explained, "I'm sorry. I don't know why I suddenly couldn't move. I only woke up when I heard Zhou Ge shouting for me. Something's not right here. Please take a look. "

At this moment, a Demon Hunter's detector beeped and a red light flashed.

The Demon Hunter captain was shocked. "You're right. There are remnants of demonic energy here!"

"Captain, we inspected this place ten minutes ago. There was nothing unusual at that time."

After listening to his subordinate's report, the Demon Hunter captain said in a low voice, "It's not safe here. We'll send you away first." He instructed two of his team members to send the three of them back. The rest of the team stayed behind to seal off the area and conduct a more detailed inspection.

Seeing that the detector of the Demon Hunters did not work on her, Gou Liang looked at Xiao Qiu with a sour expression.

Xiao Qiu looked at Gou Liang with a half-smile. A voice sounded like it was right beside Gou Liang's ear. "You're very smart."

Gou Liang was shocked. He looked around and saw that Zhou Ge did not react. He looked at Xiao Qiu with even more caution.

Xiao Qiu's voice sounded again. "Don't worry. He can't hear you. I didn't expect you to be a demon too, and a demon cub at that. You're actually a fairy's guardian. You're not simple. "

Gou Liang, who had just become a demon, had not mastered the skill of private messaging. He seized the time to consult the System. He pursed his lips and pretended to be arrogant. He used his expression to express his fear and displeasure.

Xiao Qiu said, "Don't be so afraid of me. You're not my target."

Under the guidance of the system, Gou Liang's skills had been improved rapidly. When he heard this, he replied indifferently, "I don't care about your goal. You just have to tell me, are you the demon who embezzled my feys?"

"So what if it's me and not me? I'm curious. Where did you get so many feys? "

Xiao Qiu did not take the murderous intent in Gou Liang's words seriously. He did not feel sorry for stealing other people's things. Instead, he sized up Gou Liang, wanting to get more from him.

Gou Liang looked at him coldly. He patted Zhou Ge's shoulder and led him back to the team.

The Deputy Director came up to them. When he saw that they were not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief and asked Gou Liang, "Xiao Do, what happened just now? Are you okay?"

The Demon Hunters had already checked the residential building and were about to let them go back. However, for some reason, they were on high alert again.

Gou Liang whispered, "The Demon Hunters found demonic energy in the public toilet. The demon might not have left yet."

The Deputy Director's expression changed.

Gou Liang returned to his original position and secretly pinched Long Yao's waist. He used his newly learned skill to privately chat with Long Yao, "You already knew, didn't you?"

Long Yao, "Its main body is in this little fox's body. That human only has a little bit of demonic energy. It's a puppet and can't hurt you."

Gou Liang hatefully said, "Why didn't you remind me when you knew? Is it fun to scare me?"

Long Yao's mouth curled up, "You need to get used to the identity of a demon. This is a good opportunity."

Gou Liang was so angry that his teeth itched. He muttered in his heart. From the fourteen mission reports provided by the System, this guy used to be a gentle and loyal dog. Now, it was deliberately teasing him again and again. This was a malicious revenge!

But he was very innocent, alright? Regardless of whether it was the loss of his memories or the 0 favorability rating, it was all this guy's fault. Now, he was pushing the blame to him and bullying him. What was with his Love Saint persona?

He glared at Long Yao and snorted, "Then why don't you hurry up and get rid of her. If you're late, not to mention the spiritual item, even the concrete will be digested by her."

Long Yao saw that he still hadn't given up on the idea of taking back the spiritual item. She rubbed his head and helplessly said, "Don't you think it's dirty?"

Gou Liang didn't think of this before. Now that he was reminded, he felt uncomfortable.

"Then what should I do?"

With Gou Liang's philosophy, he would spit out what he ate and make the other party pay him back ten times or a hundred times.

But with the degree of spiritual energy in this world, the spiritual item storage of the Demon Clan had been emptied by Long Yao. No matter what this demon's background was, it was unrealistic to make her pay the debt. Apart from killing her, there was no other way to get revenge. He had to swallow this loss even if he didn't want to!

Long Yao saw his gloomy face and lowered her head to rub her lips against his forehead.

Traces of spiritual energy entered his body and Gou Liang's eyes suddenly lit up. All the haze was dispelled and he stared at Long Yao's lips with dissatisfaction, silently asking for more.

Long Yao laughed softly and ran her fingers through his hair. She jokingly said, "You forgot how uncomfortable it was before."

Gou Liang's heart was distressed. Burping wasn't painful, but it was really embarrassing. Moreover, the feeling of not being able to stop was terrible. He really didn't want to experience it again.

Seeing that he lost the desire to speak, Long Yao didn't keep him in suspense and bluntly said, "Let's wait a few more days for her to completely digest the spiritual item. Then I'll draw out her spiritual energy and give it to you. This will help you reach adulthood early. At that time, you won't need to restrict your diet. "

Gou Liang didn't expect him to have this idea. He immediately became happy and gave him a look of praise.

However, he still had some misgivings. "I heard that the spiritual energy of the demon race is very, very disgusting. I heard that the cruelest punishment of the demon race is to make them eat the spiritual energy of their companions. How disgusting is that … … Moreover, the stronger the demonic energy, the more disgusting it is. This demon race is at least a royal demon, right?"

Long Yao was an exception. He had already seen from the mission report that he directly ate Long Yao's spiritual energy. In other words, it was Sovereign's power. It couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the spiritual energy of an ordinary demon race.

However, the demon race created by the Space Demon Mirror was Long Yao's natural enemy. One could imagine how powerful their demonic energy was. The taste was probably beyond anyone's imagination.

Just thinking about it, Gou Liang felt bitter in his mouth.

Long Yao didn't have the heart to tell him that the Space Demon Mirror was a creation of the Law of Darkness. The food it produced would only taste worse than the spiritual energy of the demon race in the original world. He could only choose to encourage him. "Abstain from food for ten years and wait for adulthood, or endure the disgusting taste for a while. What do you want to choose?"

Gou Liang fantasized about a beautiful future where he could enjoy delicious food anytime and anywhere. He didn't need to hesitate at all. It had to be the latter!

After being happy for a while, Gou Liang thought of another matter. He suspiciously asked Long Yao, "You didn't already know that he was going to steal my spiritual item, did you?"

If that was the case, even if it was for the sake of letting him reach adulthood earlier, he still couldn't forgive him.

Long Yao didn't expect him to measure the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure. He glanced at him and didn't say anything.

Gou Liang embarrassedly touched his nose. He secretly thought that he had miscalculated. This guy now liked to bully him for fun. Maybe he didn't want him to reach adulthood too early.

Under Long Yao's imposing gaze, Gou Liang hurriedly changed the topic, "Then, do you know where this demon came from?"

Long Yao already had a guess. He didn't hide it from him, "His magic is of the same origin as mine. That's why I ignored his existence. If I didn't guess wrongly, he should be my birth mother. "

"Ah?"

Gou Liang was surprised. Wasn't Long Yao's birth mother the old lover of the previous Demon King, the Demon King Long Qi?

He had already understood from the system's description that Long Yao's descent into a demon when he reached adulthood was directly related to his birth mother. The two of them either devoured each other or he devoured the other. They loved each other and hated each other. As expected, they were the best candidates for natural enemies.

With Long Yao's current strength, it wasn't difficult to deal with him. He just didn't know if the Demon Mirror had given this demon a golden finger …

Thinking about it, Gou Liang couldn't help but raise his guard by another level.

After another half an hour, the Demon Hunters checked the neighborhood again. They didn't find any abnormalities, so they let everyone return to the house in order.

Xiao Qiu returned to her previous dull gaze. She lowered her head and stiffened like a marionette. When she stepped out of the elevator, the little vixen at her feet looked back at Long Yao and Gou Liang. A faint light flashed in her eyes.

Of course, she didn't think that Long Yao couldn't discover her existence. She also knew that the reason why Long Yao didn't do anything to her was because he was planning something.

He wanted to use her to refine the spiritual item, and then directly devour her spiritual power.

Hmph, she didn't know whether to call him arrogant or naive.

However, since his fairy guardian was a demon, why would he choose such a prey?

She remembered the rumors of the new Demon King being extremely picky with his food. She couldn't help but frown. What picky with his food? It was just a unique taste. He actually liked the disgusting spiritual energy of his own kind.

The demon thought about it and was very dissatisfied.

So what if her bloodline was pure? A monster born of a demon was a monster. It was a waste of her noble genes.

However, this little guardian was a bit interesting. Long Yao treated him so specially. If she could use him …

This thought flashed through her mind, and she threw it to the back of her mind.

This little demon didn't matter. What she needed to do now was to recover from her injuries as soon as possible, improve her strength, and then take advantage of Long Yao's underestimation of the enemy to strike and devour Long Yao to regain her glory as the Demon King.

When the time came, she would make that bastard who betrayed her pay the price.

Demon King Long Qi … I won't let you wait too long.

Thinking of him, the demon's eyes were full of murderous intent. Her eyes suddenly changed. Her pitch-black eyes carried a turbulent bloody light.

The door behind her slowly closed. The demon walked out of the little vixen's body and instantly passed through Xiao Qiu's body. She turned into a cloud of black gas and flew out to the balcony.

When she merged into the night, Xiao Qiu walked back to the living room more and more slowly until she sat down on the sofa as instructed. Her body couldn't support itself anymore and fell down.

The fear of dying made Xiao Qiu regain a bit of consciousness. She used all her strength to raise her right hand, wanting to trigger the emergency help on her ring. But in the end, she could only reluctantly watch as the ring became blurred in her increasingly unfocused vision. Her arm weakly hung down.

Struggling, struggling, she slowly and helplessly fell into the abyss of despair.

*

The next day, the fairy community was awakened by the ear-piercing death signal.
