Why is it me again?

Not just Zhao Heng—even Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan stood there dumbstruck.

Because in their eyes, the women below scattering flowers and striking seductive poses were not human at all.

They were fox demons with human bodies and fox heads.

Large fox tails swayed lazily behind them.

Yet in the eyes of those men, they looked like heavenly fairies descending to earth.

This was madness.

At the thought of those men wanting to sleep with these fox demons,

Xu Ye nearly threw up.

"Didn't the intelligence say there was only one fox demon causing trouble here? How did so many fox demons suddenly appear?"

Lin Yuyan took quite a while to recover before asking.

Xu Ye frowned at that as well.

This discrepancy was far too great.

Suppressing his nausea, Zhao Heng said, "Fox demons are a social demon species. If one fox demon is leading them, it's normal for there to be a few more."

"Besides, these fox demons aren't very strong."

Xu Ye said nothing. Lin Yuyan, however, nodded faintly.

That did make sense.

Those fox demons striking seductive poses truly were not strong.

They were only around the first level of Meridian Opening, having become demons not long ago.

"I'm sure everyone has been waiting impatiently tonight, haven't you? Then next, let us welcome Miss Xi'er!"

While Xu Ye and the others were discussing matters,

a fox demon below suddenly called out in a clear voice.

As soon as her words fell, the men below seemed to have been pumped full of adrenaline.

Every one of them became wildly excited. Some even whistled, while shrieks rose and fell without end.

"Miss Xi'er!"

"Miss Xi'er!"

Amid the men's piercing cries, flower petals suddenly began drifting through the hall.

A figure slowly descended from the top floor, seated on a swing made of flower petals.

She truly looked like a heavenly fairy descending to earth.

Xu Ye and the others looked down and saw a woman sitting upon that petal swing.

She looked eighteen or nineteen, with red lips, white teeth, smooth pale skin, a curvaceous figure, and exquisite features. Dressed in a long white gown, she was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

She also faintly exuded an air of innocence that made one's heart itch unbearably.

Seeing this, Xu Ye sighed inwardly.

No wonder these men had gone mad over her.

This woman was simply too beautiful.

She was a true fox enchantress!

"What? Have you fallen for her?" Lin Yuyan suddenly asked from beside him.

Xu Ye turned his head and saw that Zhao Heng's expression was strange.

Xu Ye's eyes widened. Could this guy have actually fallen for her?

Hearing Lin Yuyan's words, Zhao Heng shook his head and hurriedly said, "What kind of joke is that? I'm a human, a human with dignity. How could I possibly be interested in a fox demon?"

"Yuyan, you know me. There's only you in my heart..."

"Stop!" Lin Yuyan cut him off at once.

She did not want to hear what came next.

Xu Ye's mouth twitched as well.

"Miss Xi'er!"

"Miss Xi'er, I want you! I really want you!"

"Without you, I'm going to die!"

At that moment, the screams below grew even louder.

Xu Ye and the others swept their gazes over the crowd.

Even Zhao Heng had nearly fallen under her spell, so the men below were even more frenzied.

Every one of them wished they could rush up, strip Miss Xi'er naked, and have their way with her on the spot.

Seeing this, Xu Ye said calmly, "We need to act."

"Should we rush down and kill her directly?" Zhao Heng asked.

Xu Ye shook his head slightly. "Of course not. Didn't you see that the people below have all been bewitched by that fox demon?"

"If we make a rash move, what if the fox demon attacks those people?"

"We came here to save people, not harm them."

Hearing that, Lin Yuyan nodded. "That's right. We can't give that fox demon an opportunity. If these civilians get hurt, we won't be able to escape blame either."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhao Heng frowned.

Xu Ye smiled. "I have a good idea."

"Then say it! Why are you hemming and hawing?" Zhao Heng frowned, looking rather displeased.

Why was this guy putting on airs at a time like this?

Xu Ye smiled. "Doesn't that fox demon choose one person every day to spend time with alone?"

"If we mingle with the crowd and get chosen by her, then kill her when we're alone, won't that solve everything?"

"Chief Xu means we disguise ourselves as people who've been bewitched, then kill her when we get the chance to be alone with her?" Lin Yuyan asked.

Xu Ye nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Zhao Heng asked.

Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan both looked at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng was baffled.

Xu Ye said, "Only one person needs to go. The others will stay outside to provide support, just in case."

Zhao Heng's expression stiffened. "What do you mean?"

Lin Yuyan said, "I'm a woman. I can't go in."

Zhao Heng looked at Xu Ye.

Xu Ye said, "I need to stay outside to provide support. My cultivation is the highest, so if anything unexpected happens, I can handle it."

"I..." Zhao Heng still wanted to say something.

Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan spoke in unison, "You're the most suitable."

"Why? Why is it me again?" Zhao Heng immediately flew into a rage, thoroughly displeased.

Why was he the one doing everything?

Xu Ye spread his hands, and Lin Yuyan spread hers too.

Put that way, Zhao Heng really was the only suitable choice.

Zhao Heng was speechless.

Xu Ye said, "That fox demon is only at the sixth level of Meridian Opening. Are you really going to avoid her like she's the edge of a blade?"

"Besides, if anything happens, send a signal immediately. We'll support you at once. You'll be fine."

Zhao Heng's face turned red, and his eyes nearly split with rage.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Heng had changed out of the Demon-Suppression Bureau's black robes and dressed himself as a young nobleman.

It had to be said, as the county magistrate's assistant's son, he really did look distinguished in such attire.

Very soon, under Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan's spiritual encouragement, he walked into Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion.

"Miss Xi'er!"

At that moment, Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion was filled with shrieks.

With just a few words, Miss Xi'er had teased every man there until they could neither resist nor stop themselves.

They wished they could have their way with Miss Xi'er immediately.

Miss Xi'er swept her gaze around. Seeing that the time was about right, she softly spoke, her voice like heavenly music and carrying a magic that made people unable to stop.

"Everyone, the time is about right. I'm sure you can't wait any longer, so today, we'll begin choosing."

Hearing this, the men below went mad once more.

"Miss Xi'er, choose me!"

"Choose me!"

"Miss Xi'er, I'm willing to go mad for you, die for you, and strive for you all my life!"

Hearing the men's crazed cries below, Miss Xi'er was very satisfied and revealed a sweet smile.

It drove them even madder.

She looked around, then casually pointed with her jade-like hand. "All right! You!"

"Tonight, Xi'er will be yours. You can do whatever you want."

As her voice fell,

everyone followed the direction of her finger.

They immediately saw that the person Miss Xi'er had chosen was a young nobleman.

And he was none other than Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng's eyes widened. "What the hell?"

"Me?"

Zhao Heng had never imagined that he had only come to try his luck. Before he had even shown any skill, he had somehow been chosen.

He had been planning to put on a grand display of his wealth!

Who would have thought it would be this easy?
