Don't Blame Me, I'm Innocent Too!

Shards from the explosion flew everywhere.

Xi'er's expression shifted slightly as she took two steps back.

At that moment, Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan rushed in with their sabers drawn.

"Fuck? This..."

The moment they charged into the room, Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan's eyes widened, and both their expressions changed.

Because they had witnessed an utterly eye-searing scene.

Zhao Heng was lying on the bed, completely naked, with lipstick marks still on his face.

There was no need to think about what had happened.

This guy had indeed been bewitched by that slutty fox.

However, when Xu Ye saw that Xi'er was fully dressed, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

It looked like Zhao Heng had been violated.

But he had not lost his chastity yet.

They had arrived just in time.

Lin Yuyan turned her back, a blush rising to her face.

What the hell was this?

Did Zhao Heng count as being wounded in the line of duty?

At that moment, Xi'er also steadied herself. Her gaze swept over Xu Ye and Lin Yuyan, turning icy.

"You people from the Demon-Suppression Bureau are truly a nuisance!"

"I really don't understand it. How exactly have I offended your Demon-Suppression Bureau for you to come and ruin my good time?"

Xu Ye sneered. "Ruining your good time? If you weren't doing such wicked, heinous things, the Demon-Suppression Bureau wouldn't be dealing with you."

Upon hearing that, Xi'er gave a cold laugh. "Wicked and heinous? Who did I hurt? Or who did I harm?"

Xu Ye stared coldly at Xi'er before saying, "Do you dare claim that the men who died in Mu Family Town had nothing to do with you?"

"And those people downstairs—don't tell me they had nothing to do with you either!"

Xi'er smiled at that, her face full of disdain. "How ridiculous. Did I force them to come here?"

"Didn't they come of their own accord? And they didn't come for nothing. They're all lecherous men, coveting beauty and lusting after my body, while I can satisfy them."

"After I satisfy them, shouldn't they pay a little price? Don't you humans like to say, you get what you pay for? What have I done wrong?"

"So you took their lives?" Lin Yuyan snapped coldly with her back still turned.

Quite a few people had died these past few days.

After this fox demon drained their vital yang, she even drained away their life force.

It was truly cruel.

Xi'er gave a cold laugh. "They did it willingly. Didn't you hear them say they were willing to die for me?"

"Did I force them?"

As she spoke, she suddenly scoffed and looked at Lin Yuyan. "Or is it that a woman like you has no men fawning over her, so seeing me like this has made you jealous?"

"How presumptuous! I'm human. What right does a slutty fox like you have to compare yourself with me?" Lin Yuyan sneered.

"You're getting worked up." Xi'er burst into laughter.

Lin Yuyan's face immediately darkened.

"You may have ten thousand excuses, but you killed people and harmed the common folk. Death is your only sentence. You'd best get on your way now—maybe you'll still catch up with those little fox spirits." Xu Ye sneered, not bothering to waste words on her.

Xi'er's expression changed drastically. "What did you do to my sisters?"

"Killed them. What else?" Xu Ye sneered.

"You're courting death!" Xi'er flew into a rage, her once-pure face instantly twisting into something ferocious.

However, she did not attack directly. Instead, she turned toward Zhao Heng on the bed and said, "My lord, they're going to hit me. Can you help me?"

Upon hearing that, Zhao Heng sprang up at once and shielded Xi'er behind him. He furiously shouted at Xu Ye and the others, "Whoever dares hurt my Xi'er is tired of living!"

Xu Ye frowned at Zhao Heng's appearance.

His eyes were vacant. He was completely bewitched.

No wonder he was acting like this.

Xu Ye immediately said, "Slutty fox, I'll give you a chance. Release him, and we'll fight fair and square."

Xi'er sneered. "Release him? How could I? He's more than willing to fight for me."

As she spoke, she stroked Zhao Heng's face. "My lord, help me kill him!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Heng sneered and charged straight at Xu Ye.

He was incredibly fast. Raising his hand, he threw a vicious punch at Xu Ye's face.

Seeing this, Xu Ye's expression remained unchanged. He gave a faint sigh. "Don't blame me. I'm innocent too."

As his voice fell, Xu Ye kicked out.

With a bang, Zhao Heng had just rushed forward and had not even touched Xu Ye.

Yet he was kicked flying, smashing hard into the wall before sliding down to the floor.

However, his eyes instantly became clear, and he muttered, "Fuck! That hurts!"

With that, his head tilted to one side, and he fainted.

Lin Yuyan's eyes widened at the sight.

Xu Ye said, "I had no choice!"

Lin Yuyan nodded, showing that she understood.

Xi'er, meanwhile, gave a cold snort. "Useless trash."

After saying that, she could not be bothered to look at Zhao Heng again. Her gaze swept toward Xu Ye as she said, "Looks like I'll have to do it myself. I quite like your personality. You must be very vigorous in bed."

"When the time comes, I'll make you wag your tail and beg beneath my skirt."

Lin Yuyan angrily rebuked her, "You really are a slutty fox spirit."

Xu Ye merely sneered. "I don't know about anything else, but I know you'll like it even more in a moment."

As soon as he spoke, Xu Ye raised his saber and slashed directly at the fox demon.

With a swish.

The saber flashed, and the Demon-Slaying Saber shot straight for Xi'er's neck.

Seeing this, Xi'er sneered. With a wave of her hand, light flickered in her eyes.

Immediately afterward, two tails unfurled behind her, and streaks of purple light surged from her body.

"Die!"

Xi'er shouted softly. Her two tails lashed out, purple spiritual power surging over them.

With a bang, they smashed fiercely against Xu Ye's Demon-Slaying Saber.

Xu Ye's expression changed as he felt an immense force strike him, sending him flying backward in an instant.

However, he quickly plunged his saber into the ground and steadied himself.

"You've cultivated two tails and can project spiritual power. You're not at the sixth level of Meridian Opening—you've reached the Qi Control realm!"

"No wonder you could take human form in your demon body."

After steadying himself, Xu Ye stared at Xi'er with a slightly changed expression, shock surging through his heart.

Xi'er's display was not that of a sixth-level Meridian Opening cultivator at all.

She was a genuine Qi Control realm demon.

He had sensed that something was off before, but he had never figured out what it was.

Now he finally understood.

How could a demon capable of taking human form be only at the sixth level of Meridian Opening?

To take human form, one had to be at least in the Qi Control realm!

They had not thought much of it before because they had trusted the Demon-Patrol Guards' intelligence too much.

Now, they finally understood everything.

"How could this be?"

"How could she be a Qi Control realm fox demon?"

Even Lin Yuyan's expression changed drastically. Looking at Xi'er with her two tails exposed, her heart sank completely.

Hadn't the Demon-Patrol Guards' intelligence said this fox demon was only at the sixth level of Meridian Opening?

How had she suddenly become a first-level Qi Control demon?

The gap was simply far too great.

What the hell were the Demon-Patrol Guards doing?

"Looks like someone among the Demon-Patrol Guards wants us dead!" Xu Ye said, his face turning incomparably grim.

All the information had come from the Demon-Patrol Guards.

Now, the difference between the intelligence and reality was so vast.

It was clearly too blatant to be excused as a mistake.

This was meant to get them killed.

"Who has the nerve to do something so bold?"

Lin Yuyan's face turned livid with rage upon hearing this.

At the same time, terror filled her heart.

Xu Ye's greatest strength was only at the ninth level of Meridian Opening.

Against a Qi Control realm demon, no matter how capable Xu Ye was, he would still die.

After all, the gap between the ninth level of Meridian Opening and the first level of Qi Control was not merely the difference of a minor realm.

It was a distance as vast as a heavenly chasm.

This time, they were doomed!
