Chapter 303: Night Attack by Evil Demons

When the child finally finished clearing up, the sky had already darkened. The village houses were starting to have their lights on. His house had no light, and they had to see by the faint moonlight. The child opened, yet he found the big sister leaning on the table, as if going to fall asleep.

He climbed onto a chair, pushed her hand, and asked curiously, “Big sister, it’s already dark, aren’t you going home?”

Shen Ying inclined her head lazily and gave him a look, before she nodded and said, “Yeah, I am.”

“Then…”

“I’m waiting for my parent!”

The child was stunned, seeming unable to understand her words. Just as he was about to ask, a gust of wind entered through the door, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

At the next instant, a calm voice suddenly sounded.

“I’m back, Shen Ying, have you settled your business?”

He looked up and realized that there was one more person in the room. He had black hair, dressed in white, and was surrounded by a faint layer of white air. In his hand was a jade flute. He didn’t look like a Perfected One, and somehow he looked a bit familiar. He took a step back in caution.

And the big sister who was still leaning on the table suddenly inclined her head, “Father Niu, how did it take you so long?” He didn’t even come in time for dinner.

“I lodged for a stay at the immortal sect on my way.” Lonemoon sat straight down on the chair at the side and looked up at the cold-faced child. “We can’t stay in this small mountain village forever, its Spirit Qi is too thin for cultivation. I’ve found a suitable sect. We will leave again tomorrow morning.”

“Okay,” Shen Ying replied.

“On the Godfiend’s side, he hasn’t found an answer yet.” He frowned slightly. “We can’t be sure yet what happened to the plane. The karma suddenly started to tilt and he couldn’t adjust it in any manner. He was almost jumping in frustration. We could only find out that the direction of inclination is within these few lower realms.”

“Oh.”

“Karma is a most troublesome matter. And you can’t even retrieve it forcefully. Only gradual consumption works.”

“Oh.”

“Stop saying ‘oh’! At any rate, YOU are the Manager. Why can’t you give it more concern?” Lonemoon rolled his eyes at her. “At least investigate who it is tilted towards?”

“I know who it is.”

“What?!” He stood up suddenly. “You know it?!”

“Yeah, I saw him just now.” She nodded, then added, “Two hours ago.”

“Holy shit! The man is in the Three Azure Realms. Where is he?”

“Gone.”

“…”

This must be a fake Manager. Lonemoon breathed in deeply to resist the urge to tear her apart. “Where did he go? Which direction?”

“East… West… Or is it South? Or North?”

“…” For heaven’s sake, he couldn’t expect her to know her directions.

“That means the man had stayed in this village.” Lonemoon frowned and turned to look out of the door. “No wonder when we came to this village during the day it was all calm and peaceful, yet right now it is full of demonic aura. It seems that this evening won’t be a peaceful one.”

His voice fell, and there was a loud bang from the distance, as if something was broken. A white light seemed to flash across the sky. In the next instant, a series of roars was heard. It was a mixture of many types of sounds, and it sounded like tigers and foxes. The village which was originally quiet suddenly erupted into chaos, with incessant shouts, cries, and many exclamations of “Monster!”. Apparently, something had appeared.

“Big sister…” The child standing at the side was frightened. He moved towards Shen Ying in fear.

“You can actually be scared too?” There was a glimpse of amazement in the eyes of Lonemoon. “That’s a rare sight. What you are now is much cuter than the fake child in the Divine World last time.”

The child was stunned. Although he did not understand his words, he looked like he was angered by his mocking tone. He took a deep breath, walked outside, and sat back onto the chair in all seriousness. His small hands clenched tightly, and he sat very straight.

“…” Such an unlovable child.

“Not going to help?” Shen Ying looked outside and gestured.

“There is a protective formation in this village. What was broken just now was just the outer layer.” Lonemoon did not show a hint of moving. “Although the formation inside was not very strong, it shouldn’t have a problem protecting several dozen villagers for a night, so long as they don’t come out to seek their own death! Besides, there is an immortal sect right nearby. They will naturally realize that so many demons have broken through, and they should be sending someone latest by dawn.”

Shen Ying took a look at him and said nothing.

“And the Godfiend had said that,” Lonemoon continued, a serious expression on his face, “The fate of mortals are determined by their own destiny. It is better that we don’t intervene easily.”

“Oh,” Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed, and she suddenly said, “You are listening to him?”

“…”

Lonemoon’s whole body stiffened, and as if he remembered something, he secretly swore, “F*ck!” He almost got into the trap of Godfiend again.

He stood up right away and said to the child opposite him, “Keep an eye on her!”

In the next instant, his body shape flashed and he rushed out straight away.

The child stunned, not understanding his meaning. Nevertheless, he turned to watch the person next to him closely.

In a short while, the horrible shouts outside died down much, and there were even a few cheers in between. Shen Ying continued to lean on the table like a dead person, and the expression of the child grew much more relieved.

Until a bang sounded in the right rear, as if something had collapsed. It was accompanied by a tiger’s roar.

His face turned white, as he stood up suddenly, and exclaimed, “Mother Wang!” After that, he immediately turned and rushed out.

“Che-” Before Shen Ying could finish, the child had already disappeared. She could only sigh and say, “So troublesome!” Why don’t all of them sleep in the middle of the night!

Only then did she stand up lazily, supported by the table.

The child did not run far, only to another house a few tens of meters away. Shen Ying finally found him after circling two laps. Yet he was already caught by a tiger demon.

That was a fifth-level tiger demon who hadn’t even evolved into human shape completely. On top of the human body was a huge tiger’s head. Its mouth was open, sporting a mouthful of sharp teeth. It had stepped a man underfoot – an old man by the look of it – and its two hands clasped one child each. One was Yi Qing, who was kicking and hitting hard, and the other was a little girl of five or six years old.

“Let go, let me go!” He struggled with all his strength, but his small thin arms posed no threat to the tiger demon at all.

“Hahahaha… Such fresh human meat is my favorite.” The tiger demon’s eyes shone, and he looked as if his saliva was almost dripping. “At first, I thought this old woman’s meat would be too tough to taste good, and the small one was barely enough for a meal. I didn’t expect another small one to come running to me. Now I can finally have a filling meal.”

“Let go of Mother Wang and Niu Niu!” The child was using all the strength in his body, yet it had no results, and instead his face turned purple from the tiger demon’s grasp.

“Since you are so eager, I will start with eating you.” The tiger demon raised the kid straightaway, opened his huge, bloody mouth and looked as if he was going to bite.

“Hey!” Shen Ying, who had finally reached, suddenly sounded. “Isn’t it not so good to bully kids?”
