"I'm afraid he won't even give me this year and a half!"

Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh at this, but he didn't show any fear.

"At this point, all we can do is take it one step at a time."

"If it's impossible, you can register at the Longyuan Prefecture Commander's Office in advance and apply to remain in Longyuan Prefecture."

"With your qualifications, it shouldn't be difficult."

"By then, Cao De's reach will be too short, and it will be impossible for him to kill you with the help of demons and devils."

Huang Chengyue said.

He had thought the same thing when he was promoted to Jinyiwei Zongqi Officer back then, wanting to stay in Longyuan Prefecture, but he was directly refused. However, Chen Fan was different from him.

Chen Fan was a genius martial artist, while he was just mediocre.

Any force would treat a genius differently, making an exception. In front of a genius, all rules were meant to be broken!

"We'll talk about it then!"

"My primary mission now is to slay demons and devils, and kill all those demons and devils who wantonly use humans as food!"

Chen Fan said with murderous intent.

Huang Chengyue was also infected by his ambition. If he had had such spirit back then, would Ping'an County be better off now?

While Chen Fan and Huang Chengyue were chatting, a constable from the Government Office came to the Jinyiwei station looking for Chen Fan.

"Lord Chen Fan, this is a brocade pouch that our Head Constable Lu asked me to give you!"

The constable from the County Yamen handed Chen Fan a brocade pouch upon seeing him, then quickly turned and left.

"Constable Liu's home is occupied by demons and devils, come quickly!"

Chen Fan opened the brocade pouch and was stunned when he saw the note inside. Then, he immediately headed in the direction of Constable Liu's home. However, after only a few steps, he turned back and asked Huang Chengyue:

"Old Huang, may I ask where Constable Liu's home is?"

"I'll take you!"

Huang Chengyue saw Chen Fan's urgency and said.

At this moment.

At Constable Liu's home.

Lu Xuenning stood alone with her sword at the entrance of the Liu residence. At this moment, constables from the Government Office, armed with weapons, stood in front of Constable Liu's house, confronting Lu Xuenning.

"Get out of the way!"

"I want to see Constable Liu!"

Lu Xuenning shouted, startling the constables, who retreated several steps.

"Head Constable Lu, please go back!"

"Constable Liu has ordered that you cannot mobilize any constable from the County Yamen right now."

"And he doesn't want to see you, so why make things difficult for us lowly soldiers!"

A constable said to Lu Xuenning with a mournful face.

If it weren't for Constable Liu's orders, he really wouldn't want to oppose Lu Xuenning. Although the ninth-rank Black-Robed Head Catcher who was parachuted from Longyuan Prefecture was a woman.

But she was a martial artist at the great circle of the Spirit Concealment Realm. In the entire Ping'an County, perhaps only the Centurion of the Jinyiwei could fight her.

If they really fought, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths!

"There are demons and devils causing trouble at Constable Liu's home. Move aside, let me slay demons and devils for Constable Liu!"

Lu Xuenning said in a deep voice.

This morning, she had personally seen a tiger demon enter Constable Liu's home. She wanted to investigate, but Constable Liu refused to open the door no matter what. Soon after, a group of constables also surrounded the place.

"Head Constable Lu, how could Constable Liu's home have demons and devils?"

"Don't use that as an excuse to fob us off."

"Please leave quickly, lest we damage our relationship."

"We know Head Constable Lu's strength is extraordinary, but Constable Liu is, after all, an official appointed by the court. He has eight hundred county soldiers under his command, and the three departments and six offices of the Government Office also report to him. If you really push him to anger, you might not care, but we cannot bear the consequences!"

"We have elders and children to support, and we need this job to supplement our household expenses. You can't force us into a dead end, can you?"

An old constable said to Lu Xuenning in a deep voice.

The other constables also echoed him. They knew they were no match for Lu Xuenning if they fought directly, so they decided to appeal to their emotions and reason!

Play the emotional card with Lu Xuenning!

"I'll say it again!"

"Move aside!"

Lu Xuenning was unmoved. She shouted again, then used the Spirit Cat movement technique, directly passing through the constables and arriving at Constable Liu's door. With a forceful kick, she directly broke the vermilion solid wood door!

Lu Xuenning strode into Constable Liu's home, passing through the front yard and into the main hall. There, a young man in a black long gown sat at the head of the table. Before him was a table laden with various delicacies made from human flesh!

Constable Liu and his family knelt before the young man in black, trembling.

"Third Master!"

"She came on her own, this has nothing to do with me!"

"Spare me, Third Master! I still have children, I can marry many wives and have many children for Third Master to enjoy!"

Constable Liu, seeing that Lu Xuenning had barged in, stammered to the black-gowned youth feasting at the table.

All of this Lu Xuenning witnessed.

"To think you, Liu Xuan, are a County Lieutenant of Ping'an County, commanding over a thousand men, yet you're threatened by a Demon? You truly are a disgrace to humanity!"

Lu Xuenning looked at Constable Liu with a mocking smile, taunting him.

"Miss, who are you calling a Demon?"

The black-gowned youth in the chair looked up at Lu Xuenning, then back at Constable Liu kneeling on the ground, and asked:

"Liu Xuan, do you think I am a Demon?"

"No!"

"You are human!"

"The greatest benefactor in the world, and my master!"

"Spare me!"

"Third Master, it truly wasn't my intention!"

"I'll have her thrown out right now, don't disturb Third Master's meal!"

Constable Liu kowtowed repeatedly, tears and snot streaming down his face.

He then turned, his face instantly contorting into a ferocious mask, and said to Lu Xuenning:

"Head Constable Lu, please leave my house immediately!"

"Third Master is my honored guest. If you disturb him, I won't forgive you!"

Lu Xuenning laughed in anger, pointing at the feast on the table before the black-gowned youth and shouting:

"Third Master?"

"You recognize a Demon as your master?"

"He's leisurely eating human flesh and drinking human blood, and you call him not a Demon?"

She felt like her lungs would explode from anger.

Calling white black, it couldn't be more apt!

"That was my son, why do you care so much?"

"In ancient times, people killed their wives to entertain guests. Today, I, Liu Xuan, kill my son to entertain guests, what's wrong with that?"

Constable Liu said in exasperated anger.

In truth, he wasn't lying. The dishes on the table were indeed his children, his own flesh and blood!

This Demon visited his home about twice a year. Each time, he would devour one of his children, or else his wife and concubines.

Over the years, he had been constantly marrying wives and taking concubines, diligently procreating, all to supply this Demon for consumption, hoping the other party would spare his life.

He feared death!

He truly, truly feared death!

"Why waste words with him? Just kill him!"

Just then, Chen Fan and Huang Chengyue also arrived at Constable Liu's home. Seeing the scene, killing intent flared in their eyes.

"Sigh!"

"I came down the mountain for a good meal, but you people have ruined my mood."

"Tell me, do you deserve to die?"

The black-gowned youth threw down his chopsticks, stood up, and looked coldly at Lu Xuenning and Chen Fan, asking:

"I don't know when I will die, but I know you are about to die!"

Chen Fan said calmly.
