Ji Dekeng, Dragon Snake Umbrella

"Menstrual Pain" was a cultivation technique deduced by a group of madmen at the cost of their lives. By now, it was basically complete.

Why only basically?

Because the early and middle stages of this technique were nearly perfect, but the later stages were different.

Those short-lived founding masters had died too early, before they could cultivate to the later stages.

Now, the one perfecting and deducing this technique was Comrade Ji Dekeng. He seemed to have lived for a very long time.

Lin Xiaoqi's meaning was clear. Even she did not know exactly how old Ji Dekeng was, but he definitely could not have been only in his forties, as Lu Yibai had guessed.

Whew! This was wonderful!

At least their lineage had an example of longevity now!

Boss Lu, who had always dreamed of living to a hundred, was thrilled. Once again, his focus had gone off in a strange direction.

It could be said that those short-lived founding masters had left him with some psychological trauma. He felt that his new life had only just begun.

After getting excited for a while, Lu Yibai finally came to his senses and asked in confusion, "Why doesn't he age?"

Lin Xiaoqi spread her hands. "I don't know either. Everyone has their own privacy and secrets."

Lu Yibai nodded, but felt that Sister Xiaoqi had said it far too casually...

Still, the Night Watchmen organization had all kinds of oddballs. Even if Ji Dekeng was a little older, that was acceptable.

After all, it was impossible for him to be several hundred years old.

Several hundred years old—would he even still be human?

Lu Yibai recalled his first meeting with Ji Dekeng and remembered that line: "When leaves fall, is it the wind pursuing them, or the tree refusing to hold on?" He laughed.

"No wonder that guy has so many cheesy pickup lines in his head. So he's an old man trying to keep up with the times but never quite managing it."

Ordinary people felt that Magic City was no different from any other day, but in truth, the city had been under tight guard these past few days.

In places with heavy foot traffic, Night Watchmen could be seen moving about.

A few Night Watchmen had accidentally encountered a demon with suspicious movements several days ago—and it was a great demon.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was Level Five!

A Level Five great demon was already a terrifying existence in this day and age.

Therefore, even though Magic City was a world-famous metropolis, and even though Night Watchmen gathered here in great numbers, they had no choice but to take it seriously.

An unstable Level Five great demon was like a missile hidden somewhere in a corner of the city, ready to explode at any moment.

Most importantly, this Level Five great demon seemed very skilled at hiding.

A middle-aged man in a three-piece suit appeared at the exit of Metro Line 2 with a little loli.

They had yet to find the great demon. For safety's sake, even though one was the person in charge of Magic City and the other was the head of the Modu office, they often patrolled places with heavy foot traffic.

In fact, when Night Watchmen were not in a hurry, they usually chose public transport such as buses, subways, and high-speed trains.

There were many people on such transportation. With Night Watchmen around, sudden incidents were less likely to occur, allowing them to quietly protect everyone.

When Ji Dekeng had left Crow City for Magic City, he had taken a crowded long-distance bus.

"Sakura Ning, haven't you caught its scent yet?" Ji Dekeng asked the little loli beside him.

Sakura Ning wrinkled her little nose and secretly took a few more sniffs. She had just wanted to say, "Yeah," but then she reconsidered. I can't say that! So she roared:

"KFC! I'm a White Fox, a noble White Fox! I'm not a Samoyed!"

Ji Dekeng was as easygoing as ever. He smiled and said, "All right, all right, my mistake. My mistake."

The two stood before Magic City's subway map. Sakura Ning looked at it and said, "It really is just like people say online. Magic City's subway map looks like a Two-Headed Demon Dragon."

She raised her little head and stood on tiptoe to look at it twice more.

Sigh, having such a small body was troublesome. She always had to look up, and her neck was starting to ache.

"How could that be? There's definitely no Two-Headed Demon Dragon or anything like that sealed beneath Magic City. I can guarantee it," Ji Dekeng said.

"Oh? How can you guarantee that? Dragons are so powerful in the legends that even if one really were sealed away, we definitely wouldn't be able to sense its aura," Sakura Ning said.

"It simply doesn't exist," Ji Dekeng said with a laugh, forcibly ending the subject.

He continued, "I estimate that great demon is hiding somewhere remote. Let's go."

Sakura Ning wanted to say more, but Ji Dekeng had already left with the Dragon Snake Umbrella in hand. She could only hurry after him on her little short legs, grumbling unhappily in her heart:

He knows my legs are short, yet he still walks so fast!

She had barely managed to catch up to Ji Dekeng's rapid little steps, hopping and skipping along, when she saw his brows furrow slightly.

"Stay close." As soon as he spoke, he quickly turned through a series of streets and entered a quiet alley. With no one around, he vanished in an instant.

"Damn it!" the little loli cursed, then hurried after him with all her strength.

The White Fox clan had always been known among demons for their agility. Though she had little short legs, with her demon power fully unleashed, her speed was astonishing.

But that dead gay was even faster!

How could a man be this fast!

The little loli knew that Ji Dekeng had most likely sensed the great demon's exact location.

How had he done it?

As a demon herself, she should theoretically have had a stronger perception of other demons than humans did.

But this great demon must have had some secret technique or special magical artifact that had evaded her senses and detection.

Even so, it had failed to hide from Ji Dekeng!

But on second thought, he was Ji Dekeng. Even if he did something more unexpected, it was actually understandable.

After all, he was a legendary figure.

He was still as strong as ever.

Poor demon, what did having Level Five strength matter? It had actually come to conduct secret business while Ji Dekeng was stationed in Magic City.

Well, that settled it. Even the best colorectal hospital in the country probably would not be able to save it now!

Following the aura Ji Dekeng had left behind, the little loli finally arrived at an abandoned factory in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of Magic City.

The factory appeared to have been left vacant for some special reason.

Ji Dekeng stood in the open space before the factory, leaning on the Dragon Snake Umbrella.

"Where's that great demon?" The little loli walked up to him on her short legs, gently tugged his sleeve, and asked.

Ji Dekeng gave an unrelated answer. "It's going to rain."

After saying that, he raised the Dragon Snake Umbrella in his hand. With a swish, the umbrella opened.

Holding the Dragon Snake Umbrella over them, he crouched down and firmly sheltered the little loli beneath it.

The next moment, it began to rain from the sky.

No, more precisely, a rain of blood had erupted across the heavens!

Drops of bloody rain struck the umbrella's surface, yet Ji Dekeng's and the little loli's clothes and shoes remained spotless.

With a clatter, a Life Token fell from the sky. The crystallized essence blood upon it had already shattered.

The number on it was: B003.

The little loli glanced at Ji Dekeng, who was holding the umbrella for her.

From the very instant she had arrived, that mighty Level Five great demon...

—had already been killed by this man!
