A faint smile touched my lips as I patted his head.
This gesture once again terrified the young men around me, who began to speculate about my true identity.
Their supposedly ruthless leader was like a timid lamb in my presence.
"What did you bring these people here for tonight? To beat me?" I continued speaking.
Monkey's face turned green at my words.
"Who, who said that? I, I brought this brat to apologize to you, Master Daoist.
Yes, yes, to apologize."
He said this and then turned his head,
looking at Huang Long, who stood there blankly and in shock.
"Damn it, are you stupid?
What are you still standing there for?
Aren't you going to apologize to Master?
And you few others, come here too."
At these words, Huang Long and the other eight men we had beaten earlier were stunned.
Master? What Master?
But they dared not think too much and rushed over.
Many of these people were middle-aged,
but in front of Monkey, they didn't dare to breathe heavily.
Hearing his words, they hurried over.
"Monkey, Monkey Brother..."
Huang Long stammered.
Monkey slapped him,
a "smack" sound, swelling the other half of his face.
"Damn it, all of you, kneel before Master!
You bunch of idiots, daring to offend Master.
Do you all think you've lived long enough?"
Under Monkey's oppressive power, no one dared to retort. They all knelt on the ground,
facing me and Old Mo, and said:
"Master, we're sorry, Master, we're sorry..."
The group of oddballs knelt before us, repeatedly kowtowing their apologies.
Even the owner of the nearby barbecue stall watched, utterly bewildered.
I looked at these few people, feeling no sense of accomplishment.
Nor did I want any further interaction with this group of societal dregs.
"Alright, alright, scram!"
I said impatiently.
Those few people didn't move, cold sweat dripping, all looking to Monkey beside them.
Monkey waved his hand.
"Still not rolling? You're truly an eyesore."
After speaking, he turned back and offered me a smile.
"Brother, then, I won't overstay my welcome..."
I ignored him.
And waved my hand.
Monkey instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, I apologize for disturbing you, let's go, everyone go, quickly..."
With that, he backed away, bowing to me.
Soon, they all retreated into the sedan.
His twenty to thirty followers also returned to the van.
They all speculated about my identity. What kind of Master could make their boss so fearful and humble?
With a few engine roars, they quickly sped away from here,
as if none of it had ever happened.
At this moment, Old Mo finally reacted.
He looked at me in astonishment.
"Lao Qin, you're something else! Did you used to be in the underworld?"
I chuckled.
"Underworld? Nonsense, I beat up the leader of those guys before.
His former boss was the societal scumbag who worshipped Miao Nanzi."
I had mentioned this matter to Old Mo and Uncle Tang before.
Upon hearing my words, Old Mo instantly understood the reason.
"Oh! So that's how it is. I thought you were involved in society before!"
I rolled my eyes.
"Alright, alright, let's call a car and go!"
After saying that, I went to call for a car.
Xiao Mei didn't say anything.
She merely yawned and said,
"How boring!"
The next second, she transformed into a little fox and burrowed into my handbag.
This scene was also witnessed by the owner of the nearby barbecue stall.
He was completely dumbfounded.
Utterly stunned, who, who was this person?
A living person turned into a fox?
A demon?
As he was still in shock, the three of us had already flagged down a taxi and gotten in to leave.
Not long after we departed,
a police car arrived.
By then, the barbecue stall was already deserted. Where was the brawl?
They found the barbecue stall owner.
Still standing there in a daze, the leading police officer asked,
"Did you call the police?"
"Yes, I did!"
The good-natured owner finally reacted.
"You said there was a group fight, where are they?"
The owner shook his head repeatedly.
"No, they're gone, but, but there was, there was a demon..."
His voice was particularly loud when he said the word "demon."
He also seemed very scared.
But the police officers who heard this rolled their eyes directly.
They wondered if this person had been up too late grilling barbecue, and his brain had been cooked.
The three of us in the car returned to our residence not long after.
Just as we reached the entrance, Xiao Mei looked up at me and said,
"Qin Ze, I'm hungry. I'm going to the mountain to catch rabbits!"
After speaking, Xiao Mei sprang out of my handbag.
Then, she ran along the street towards Old Huang Mountain.
"Be careful!"
I shouted.
Xiao Mei didn't look back, lifting her white fox tail.
"Got it!"
With that, she quickly disappeared into the dark night.
I took a deep breath.
Today was quite tiring. I thought about returning home to rest well.
Taking out my keys, I opened the door to the shop.
However, as soon as I entered,
I felt a surge of chilling energy.
The Yin energy was dense, and the temperature dropped by seven or eight degrees.
My heart tightened, feeling something foul was present.
But before I could react, from the dark room,
a soft, familiar female voice instantly sounded.
"Qin Ze, you're back..."
