Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 294: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (21)

Logically speaking, the temple has been sealed off in the past few days, and everyone from top to bottom should be cooperating with the investigation, but Huikong seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and there is no sign of him. As for the verification of the incense powder... there is a slight stuck.

However, through Xiang Ling's help and recollections over the past few days, it can be confirmed that the fox demon case in the city is closely related to the one in the temple, and it is very likely that the same demon is behind it.

Shi Qi also vaguely guessed that Xiang Ling had a close relationship with the monster.

Whenever he asked about Xiang Ling, he would always answer hastily. She was too lazy to ask more.

This morning, I got news from the palace that there have been many tragic incidents in Nan'an Temple recently, and the Queen Mother's prayers have been put on hold. In other words, she can only seize this major case and return to the court.

But... right now, if we continue to stay in the temple, we won’t be able to find a breakthrough.

"Sir, instead of being sentimental here, why not... I take you to a nice place to relax?" Suddenly, the jade bracelet trembled and a white light flashed.

A tall and slender figure appeared in front of Shi Qi.

Unlike when we first met, Xiang Ling today was dressed in a black robe, looking noble, stunning, and unique.

Just as soon as they speak, the flattering and charming scent of powder is unavoidable.

Shi Qi automatically ignored all the adjectives.

All I saw was:

Thick black hair…thick black hair…thick black hair.

I'm really... quite envious.

"You can relax. I won't restrict you. It's just... I'll finish writing this and go out to verify it later." Shi Qi came back to his senses, rubbed his forehead lightly, looked at the piles of information and transcripts on the table, and picked up the pen again.

Shi Qi ran around the four related large temples and worked day and night to record for several days. His head was dizzy and his eyes were dark.

Xiang Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him with dark circles under his eyes. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, no matter what. If you don't accompany me to relax today, I will..." Xiang Ling slapped the pen in Shi Qi's hand, and the ink dots splashed on Shi Qi's face.

Shi Qi paused. No matter how good-tempered he was, he was still annoyed and speechless.

He is not a child, so why should I be polite to him all the time?

She decided that today she would expose her master's status and let him know clearly who is the master!

"Xiang Ling, are you done yet? I've already said that I won't restrict you. You can do whatever you want. What else do you want me to do? Do I have a lot of free time?" Shi Qi wiped the ink off his face and looked up at Xiang Ling.

The person opposite him lowered his head, his face was dark, and he seemed a little murderous.

Shi Qi remembered the last time he was strangled, and suddenly his neck felt numb.

In fact, she had been getting along with him recently and found that he was not a good demon at all. He actually had a bad temper and was very emotional. If she said something that displeased him or he lost his patience to be well-behaved and obedient, he would become very aggressive and scary.

She had indeed been hurt more than once or twice by his anger.

To be honest, I felt a little regretful after losing my temper, but I cannot lose in terms of momentum.

"Hey, why don't you say anything. I... can't I even vent? You suck my essence and energy, and you also eat and drink here. I have to investigate the case and serve you and take care of you, and I can't even say a few more words?" Shi Qi said, feeling sour in his heart.

"I just want to solve the case and return to the court. Have I offended you? Am I wrong? Why do you... have to pester me?" As Shi Qi spoke, he felt wronged and depressed in his heart.

She is obviously not someone who would be easily wronged or upset, but she feels that without her child at home, there is no one to support her.

No, she is a demon lord, how can she be so shy?

Shi Qi calmed down and felt that he had talked too much, like a complaining shrew. He rubbed his eyes subconsciously and found that they were wet.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Shi Qi saw the other party's gradually approaching figure and his clenched fists. The air pressure was so low, as if he had anticipated the next scene.

This time, should I lock her throat or stab her chest...

Really, Shiqi, Shiqi, you are so confused! Why are you arguing with a fox?

Shi Qi closed his eyes resigned to his fate and quickly explained: "Um, um, good brother, I... you know, I slipped up, it's just... I was possessed by a ghost? Hey, you know what it means to be possessed by a ghost, right? I don't know what the ghost said to you just now, now... the ghost is gone, I... I am sober, Amitabha Amitabha... Don't say it's to relax, we can just go wherever you want... Good, good. Be gentle this time... ok?"

Xiang Ling leaned over, looked at Shi Qi's face and defensive posture, and asked, "Are you done this time?"

The expected pain did not occur, but instead I could feel the gentle breathing before my eyes.

Shi Qi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him who didn't take any action, and was slightly stunned.

In a trance, I only felt those slender fingers with pointed nails covering my face, the movements were very light and gentle.

"Do I... really make you tired?" Different from that ostentatious and flattering voice, the low voice... is somewhat tempting.

I could actually hear a hint of... pity?

Shi Qi shook his head, woke up and quickly stood up: "No, no, I'm not tired, I just like to work harder. Everything in the world is my business, and your business is of course my business too."

Xiang Ling saw that the man was a few meters away from him, so he withdrew his hand and smiled faintly: "In this case, sir, quickly pack up and we will set off."

Shi Qi sighed lightly, living is really not easy.

But did this fox take the wrong medicine today? He actually...didn't hurt her?

……

It was the familiar woods again, with two black figures arguing and struggling.

"Hiss~ Why don't you let go! You should have thought about the consequences from the day you agreed to help us. Let go!" The man in black was wearing a mask and his tone was very unfriendly.

Huikong saw the person in front of her, familiar yet strange, his cold look pierced her heart: "Are you really so ruthless? For three years, I helped you kill people for three years... If you don't help me, how can I live..."

The man pushed Huikong away and patted his arm in disgust: "I am ruthless? If I were ruthless, I wouldn't help you get out of the limelight this time. As for where to go...it's up to you!"

"Also, if you dare to go back to Nan'an Temple and reveal our affairs again, don't blame me for being heartless and ungrateful. My master has an important matter to attend to in the city today, so don't make trouble!" After the man finished speaking, he didn't even look at Huikong and left suddenly.

The wind in late autumn is very cool.

The withered yellow leaves are flying in the wind.

Huikong sat on the ground in a trance, unable to tell what he was feeling.

At this moment, she realized how stupid she was. What she thought was love was nothing more than a tool for the other party.

“Haha… fox demons can indeed bewitch people… haha… ah ha ha ha…”

After she yelled, she fell to the ground weakly, her eyes cloudy, as if all her strength had been drained away.

As the leaves fluttered in the air, she suddenly recalled the day she was sold to the temple.

It was just five copper coins, but her mother happily took the silver and left.

That face seemed... just yesterday.

She wanted to have a home, but it was not until today that she discovered that her home... was in Nan'an Temple.

It’s just that she’s…confused.

I missed too many scenes in the temples from spring to autumn.
