Xi'er, You're So Beautiful!

"Alas!"

"It wasn't me!"

"Damn it! That brat got off cheap!"

At that moment, seeing that they had not been chosen, the men beat their chests and stamped their feet, sighing over their bad luck.

At the same time, every gaze they turned on Zhao Heng was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

What had this brat done to deserve it?

He had actually won Miss Xi'er's favor.

"That's right, it's you. Come up, good sir!" Miss Xi'er looked at Zhao Heng with a radiant smile that made hearts itch unbearably.

Zhao Heng did not waste any words and strode straight up.

As long as he waited until they were alone and sent the signal for Xu Ye to kill her, his mission would be complete.

Seeing Xu Ye step forward, the crowd quickly made way.

Miss Xi'er smiled. "Then please enjoy yourselves tonight, gentlemen. This servant will go keep that young master company first."

With that, flower petals rained down once more.

The petal swing she rode began to rise slowly.

Before long, it vanished from everyone's sight.

The men below beat their chests and stamped their feet in despair.

Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan, who had been keeping watch, widened their eyes as well.

Was it really that easy?

Even they had not expected Miss Xi'er to pick Zhao Heng at a single glance.

Was this what it meant to be the child of destiny?

Just like that, the two watched helplessly as Zhao Heng entered a private room on the third floor alone.

"He seems pretty happy?" Xu Ye asked.

That fellow had actually gone in smiling.

Was he that desperate?

Lin Yuyan snorted coldly. "He must have been dying for this all along."

All men were the same!

Xu Ye was speechless and did not reply, simply waiting for Zhao Heng's signal.

Once Zhao Heng found a chance to lure the fox demon out, Xu Ye would charge up and kill it the instant the signal came, completing the mission.

Yet Xu Ye and the others waited on the roof for quite some time, and there was still no movement from the room.

The fox demon showed no sign of coming out either.

Xu Ye immediately frowned. "By all reason, it should be about time. What is Zhao Heng doing?"

"He's probably trying to enjoy the view a little longer," Lin Yuyan said with a cold snort.

Xu Ye frowned at that, but then his expression suddenly changed. He sprang to his feet.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ye's sudden movement gave Lin Yuyan a fright.

"This is bad! Something's going to happen!" Xu Ye said.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yuyan asked.

"When Zhao Heng went in just now, it wasn't by his own will!" Xu Ye said.

Zhao Heng had known all along that Miss Xi'er was a fox demon.

Since he had gone in to carry out the mission, even if he had needed to put on an act, he should not have worn that kind of smile.

That left only one possibility: Zhao Heng had not entered of his own accord.

"You mean Zhao Heng was bewitched too?" Lin Yuyan's expression shifted slightly.

Xu Ye nodded faintly.

Without another word, he flashed off the rooftop.

If that was truly the case, then things were about to go badly wrong.

Lin Yuyan said nothing and followed him at once.

Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan arrived at the entrance of Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion and walked straight inside.

Although the men inside were no longer as rowdy as before, every one of them still wore the expression of a lecherous fool, as though they had completely lost their minds.

They paid no attention at all when Xu Ye and the others entered.

Xu Ye ignored them and headed straight upstairs.

But the moment they reached the third floor—

A fox demon with a human body and a fox's head blocked their way.

Striking a coquettish pose, she said, "Good sir, the second floor is off limits! If you want us, you'll have to wait!"

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Yuyan. "And women are not allowed inside my Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion!"

Xu Ye looked at the fox demon before him and nearly threw up.

A fox was standing there trying to act seductive. Xu Ye truly could not bear to look at it.

He raised his hand, drew his saber, and slashed down.

Splurt!

The fox demon did not even have time to scream before she was cut in two.

A little demon at the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm was like chopping melons and vegetables before Xu Ye.

This sudden change made the fox demons still posing seductively turn pale at once.

"Courting death!"

"Who dares cause trouble at Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion?"

A group of little demons looked toward Xu Ye and the others.

"Demon-Suppression Bureau?"

"This is bad!"

"Hurry and report to Sister Xi'er!"

When they saw what Xu Ye and the others were wearing, their expressions changed drastically, and terror filled their faces.

Several little fox demons immediately reverted to their true forms and rushed toward the third floor to report the news.

But Xu Ye did not waste any words. He shouted in a low voice, "Kill them all! Quickly!"

With that, he charged out, the Demon-Slaying Saber flashing with chilling light as it slashed forth.

Lin Yuyan likewise said nothing and pounced on the little demons.

Splurt! Splurt!

Those little fox demons were merely at the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm.

They were pitifully weak.

Under the combined assault of Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan—

Before long, every last one of them lay dead on the ground.

Only after finishing all that did Xu Ye turn to look at the townspeople below.

They were still just as they had been before, shrieking and clamoring to see Miss Xi'er.

They seemed completely unaware of the bloody slaughter taking place around them.

Seeing this, Xu Ye let out a breath. "That fox demon's bewitchment has actually done us a huge favor."

Clearly, these people had been completely bewitched.

Their eyes held only Miss Xi'er. They cared about nothing else, which was why no commotion had broken out.

That allowed Xu Ye to breathe a deep sigh of relief.

Without further delay, they rushed straight toward that private room on the third floor.

Meanwhile, inside the room on the third floor—

Within the antique room, Zhao Heng's clothes had all been removed, with only the important parts still covered.

At that moment, Zhao Heng held Miss Xi'er in his arms, his face full of excitement and his eyes slightly vacant.

"Miss Xi'er, you're so beautiful! Are you truly a celestial maiden descended to the mortal world?"

Miss Xi'er gave a light laugh and stared at Zhao Heng. "I've never tasted a Demon-Suppression Guard from the Demon-Suppression Bureau before."

"I wonder how much my cultivation will improve after I drain your vital yang."

It turned out that from the moment Xu Ye and the others entered Mu Family Town, she had already noticed them.

The reason she had not raised any alarm was that she simply did not care.

In her eyes, even if Xu Ye and the others were from the Demon-Suppression Bureau, they were merely three young people. She could completely keep them under control.

Thus, when she noticed Zhao Heng entering Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, she immediately chose him.

It was not because Zhao Heng was special, but because he was a Demon-Suppression Guard of the Demon-Suppression Bureau.

All demons said that people from the Demon-Suppression Bureau were terrifying.

But she refused to believe it. She wanted to taste a man from the Demon-Suppression Bureau instead.

She wanted to see whether, after a man from the Demon-Suppression Bureau had fallen beneath her skirt, the Demon-Suppression Bureau could still put on such airs.

Thinking this, she opened her small mouth and kissed Zhao Heng.

But just then, her expression shifted as though she had sensed something.

She rose to her feet and walked toward the door.

Her face turned icy. "Since they're already here, I'll deal with them all at once."

Before her words had even faded and before she could open the door—

Bang!

With a deafening boom, the door exploded apart, fragments flying everywhere.
