That's right.
When the lights went out at night, wasn't the figure I saw perfectly overlapping with this one?
Madam!
Zhao Huai recovered and remembered, finally recognizing the figure in mid-air.
He couldn't help but be surprised.
Why did Madam come to the Drunken Flower Pavilion? Wasn't she supposed to be watching a play?
Calculating the time, she should be heading home now and staying there! While Zhao Huai was pondering,
another fierce battle erupted above the pavilion. After Yu Qinghan suppressed the black Qi in front of her, her cold gaze swept across the sky, noticing several other directions where the black Qi was heading.
"Splitting yourself into five, you think you can escape like this?"
Yu Qinghan chased after the largest mass of black Qi with extreme speed.
"Damn it!"
The Fox Demon woman cursed, feeling incredibly angry and alarmed. She quickly fled into the distance.
She was no match for this woman and had no choice but to abandon her physical body and let her Primordial Spirit escape.
She possessed several physical bodies. As long as she left this place, she could survive by switching to another one.
The Fox Demon clan had always focused on cultivating the Primordial Spirit, considering the mere physical body insignificant. That's why there was a saying in the mortal realm that Fox Demons had nine lives.
In the end, it was just a matter of changing bodies.
In a short while, Yu Qinghan disappeared from Zhao Huai's sight.
Zhao Huai stood at the entrance, pondering, "Was that a Fox Demon facing Madam just now? Could it be that the Drunken Flower Pavilion's lair has already been taken care of?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Huai tossed a copper coin.
[Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, let's just watch.] [Divination Sign 1: Elm Coins Unbought, a Thousand Gold Smiles; Willow Ribbons Unneeded, a Hundred Treasures' Adornment. Entering the Drunken Flower Pavilion, the indication you receive is "Fortune."] Tracing Guidance: Romantic encounters, passing years.
After reading the result, Zhao Huai stepped over the front door and entered the interior of the Drunken Flower Pavilion.
He saw a scene that greatly surprised him.
Everything was in a mess. The red paper on the walls was severely damaged, the glass teacups were shattered all over the ground, and fruit tea and snacks were scattered everywhere.
"Who did all this? Could it be Madam?"
Zhao Huai wondered in astonishment.
In his eyes, Yu Qinghan rarely took action. He had been fortunate enough to witness it once when facing pursuers, and at that time, he thought her cultivation was only at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining.
He didn't expect that he had underestimated her. The spiritual energy fluctuations here were probably at the peak of Qi Refining, with astonishing destructive power.
The only puzzling thing was, why did Madam come to the Drunken Flower Pavilion to slay Demons and Monsters? As Zhao Huai scanned the surroundings, a white ball of light entered his mind.
"Oh? This can trigger a Destiny?"
He immediately checked it out.
[Brothel Visit (Human-Grade Superior)]: Visiting a brothel can relieve fatigue, refresh the spirit, and positively elevate one's mood.
"This works too?"
The corners of Zhao Huai's mouth twitched slightly.
It had to be said that this Destiny was surprisingly useful. If he ever felt tired from cultivation, he could take a stroll in a brothel and immediately feel refreshed, with all his fatigue gone.
But it was just a thought. With Madam around, wasn't she ten thousand times better than these women of the red dust?
Tap tap.
The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs caught Zhao Huai's attention.
"Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Never mind, the Demons and Monsters here have already been cleared anyway."
Lu Wanqiu's figure descended from the escalator, speaking as she walked, her pretty face full of doubt:
"Strange, the entire Drunken Flower Pavilion is empty. I didn't see a single Demons and Monsters shadow."
"Someone must have gotten here first."
Zhao Huai naturally knew who had cleared out these Demons and Monsters. He reminded her, "I saw a Demons and Monsters shadow outside just now. It was being chased and ran off into the distance."
Lu Wanqiu asked with a serious expression, "Where did you see it?"
"Southeast direction."
"I'll go check it out. You should go home first. Leave everything here to me."
In Lu Wanqiu's eyes, Zhao Huai was just a pawnshop owner who didn't exude any True Qi. It was best for him to stay away from Demons and Monsters matters.
After instructing him, Lu Wanqiu tossed out a long sword and stepped onto it.
She flew into the air, heading in the direction Zhao Huai had indicated.
"That Fox Demon isn't so easy to kill."
Zhao Huai muttered to himself before heading upstairs.
Having fought the Fox Demon several times, he was very familiar with its tricks and knew how cunning it was, so he naturally wouldn't leave.
It could be said that he was the person present who understood this Demon the most.
Relying on his [Demon-Revealing Eye] Destiny, Zhao Huai searched everywhere, trying to find some clues.
The world before him turned gray and white, with strands of entwined black Qi threads guiding his path.
The second and third floors of the Drunken Flower Pavilion were full of individual rooms, beautifully decorated and heavily scented with women's fragrance.
Arriving at a third-floor room, Zhao Huai gradually smelled a bloody scent.
"Where's that smell coming from?"
He pushed open the door to a room.
The room was elegantly furnished, with bright candlelight, flowing gauze curtains, and a screen as beautiful as a painting.
Various implements were arranged on a square table.
"Playing something so perverted?"
Looking at these implements, Zhao Huai clicked his tongue in wonder.
The bloody smell was coming from a cabinet. Zhao Huai opened the cabinet door and saw a nauseating scene.
Inside were human skins, male and female, all covered in blood.
Zhao Huai suppressed his discomfort and threw a Fire Thunder Dao Talisman, burning all the human skins to ashes, then closed the door.
After doing this, he noticed that the black Qi threads in front of him ended under the bed.
"Another unexpected discovery?"
Zhao Huai slowly walked to the bed and pulled out a delicate wooden box.
Opening the box, he found masks, but they were different from the human skins.
Half of these masks were broken, while some were intact. The intact masks looked quite good.
A strong Demonic Qi naturally emanated from these masks.
"These should be the Fox Demon's own refined human face masks, which can be used to hide among humans and eliminate certain Demons and Monsters features."
Zhao Huai thought to himself.
"Thump."
Suddenly, a sound of something landing came from outside the room.
Zhao Huai vigilantly stared, and the black threads in front of him immediately converged, all pointing outside.
Clearly, the Fox Demon had returned.
Madam and Lu Wanqiu had both gone to chase it, but it still managed to escape back?
He stored the wooden box into his Storage Ring, then hid behind the screen, holding his breath and focusing his mind to conceal his aura.
A cloud of black Demonic Qi pushed open the door, coalescing into the figure of a woman.
The wide sleeves of this woman were embroidered with seductive roses in scarlet silk thread, charming and beautiful.
This formed a stark contrast with her ugly Fox Demon face, full of sharp teeth.
She took out a mask from her sleeve and put it on. Her ugly Fox Demon face suddenly transformed into a beautiful woman with willow-leaf eyebrows and jade-like teeth.
She touched her face, smiled coquettishly at the bronze mirror, as if intoxicated by her own beauty.
But soon her expression changed, and she said with a rather unsightly look:
"This woman is really hateful! She keeps chasing after me relentlessly. I've never been so embarrassed in my life."
"Fortunately, I was one step ahead and had a trick up my sleeve. There's still a remnant of my Primordial Spirit in this body."
Hearing this, Zhao Huai's eyes darted around, and he understood.
This Fox Demon's Primordial Spirit was divided into several parts, and she wouldn't die as long as there was a remnant.
Then this should be her last Primordial Spirit.
Immediately, Zhao Huai stealthily took out the long sword Magical Treasure from his Mysterious Ring.
