Later, Li Yuel raised one hand and accidentally touched her chest, causing her face to change in shock.
This is definitely not Li Yuel's own actions, expressions, it's Lao Gong who acted improperly.
"Old Gong!" I scolded.
No matter what, Lao Gong's behavior is truly off-putting; it's too degrading.
As the saying goes, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Li Yuel is still a woman to some extent...
"Aww... I was just being impulsive, that's all..."
"Shouldn't have... shouldn't have..." Li Yuel's face showed evident frustration.
Lao Gong admitted his mistake so quickly, which was unexpected even for me.
Next second, Lao Gong's head emerged from Li Yuel's body and landed on the ground.
He hung his head in a sorrowful manner.
Li Yuel just began to react, but in that moment, Lao Gong's upper body delayed me, and I was already close to her. The copper mace lifted and struck directly on her shoulder.
I did not hit her with force.
Just relying on the weight of the copper pestle, she let out a pained moan, and her small body suddenly leaned to the side half.
She had two more cats beside her, all ferociously attacking me.
Li Yuel's voice trembled: "Stop, stop!"
The two cats halted their movements, baring their teeth at me.
I looked coldly at Li Yuel.
"Qiong Ying?" My tone was extremely cold and full of killing intent.
Lao Gong still had that bitter face: "Neither one, neither one... and you dare to touch the young miss? You're courting death."
"You...!" Li Yuel trembled once again, her face was almost red with anger, her eyes were filled with tears, as if she wanted to swallow Lao Gong whole.
I slightly relaxed my force.
The copper pestle was already heavy enough, and I didn't need to apply more force. Letting Li Yuel bear the weight herself was enough.
"You can kill the fox cat, what evil means did you use..." She struggled to look up, her gaze filled with hate as she stared at me. The emotion of resentment that was like a desire to eat flesh and drink blood was all directed at me.
"Li Geng?"
It was the name of the beast that Li Yuel controlled?
My expression did not change, and I did not answer her. I asked again about Qiong Ying's location. If she didn't say, not only would I kill the fox cat, but I would also kill her.
Lao Gong jumped onto my shoulder, making a sly face and shouting shrilly, "If you don't confess soon, it's a dead certainty! You're as good as dead!"
Li Yuel trembled, as if she was about to rush towards me.
No, she was about to rush towards Lao Gong.
At this moment, I applied force, and the copper pestle became even heavier. Li Yuel let out a pained moan and fell to the ground. The initially injured red fox cat let out another shrill roar, as if trying to stop me from harming Li Yuel.
The other, older, cunning fox cat suddenly ran towards the second-floor stairs. I saw Li Yuel's expression change; her eyes showed a hint of panic and urgency.
"Keep her, Lao Gong," I instructed in a low voice, picking up the copper pestle and running quickly towards the second floor.
Although the house is said to be two stories, it is actually quite small inside. The second floor is just a middle corridor, and beyond the corridor are empty spaces that lead directly to the first floor. On both sides of the corridor are rooms.
The door of the room near the outer courtyard was open, and the older, cunning fox cat darted inside.
After quickly following inside, I immediately saw Qiong Ying.
My heart, which had been hanging in the air, immediately relaxed by half.
Qiong Ying lay on a bed in a normal position, as if she had fallen asleep. Her complexion was rosy, and there were no signs of injury. She must have been knocked out.
The older, cunning fox cat climbed to Qiong Ying's pillow and swept its tail over her face.
Qiong Ying's eyelids trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
I completely breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xian Shen!" Qiong Ying suddenly realized something, her eyes showed panic, and her face was extremely uneasy.
"Be careful, Li..." She didn't finish her sentence before she noticed something amiss.
The old fox cat quickly jumped off the bed and then down the stairs.
"How..." Qiong Ying was extremely confused.
"I'm fine, Li Yuel is subdued." I breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Before I could help Qiong Ying, she straightened up and quickly sidestepped off the bed.
Then Qiong Ying looked at my face, her gaze fixed on my temples, and a flicker of unease crossed her face.
"Where is she?" Qiong Ying's face showed a hint of anger, intermixed with coldness.
Then I descended the stairs with Qiong Ying.
Li Yuel had already stood up, staring intently at Lao Gong. She naturally couldn't escape.
The red fox cat couldn't do anything to Lao Gong, but Lao Gong could control Li Yuel.
Just then, Lao Gong was lying on the ground in good health, without controlling Li Yuel. He kept on grumbling and commenting on Li Yuel, making her continuously squirm and dodge, with more hate in her eyes.
Qiong Ying's eyes showed a trace of surprise, a reflection of her emotions after seeing the bodies of the red fox cats scattered around the living room.
Then, Qiong Ying fixed her gaze on Li Yuel, who walked up to her.
Li Yuel's face was tense, and she hesitated slightly but dared not meet Qiong Ying's eyes directly.
"This is no joke." Qiong Ying spoke one word at a time, her eyes filled with disappointment, and a cold tone laced with a hint of murderous intent.
"You... want to kill me?" Li Yuel answered in a trembling voice, staring at Qiong Ying in disbelief.
Look at me one more time, and if your eyes are like swords, I'm afraid they've pierced me a thousand times over...
"He's a Taoist!"
"You forgot what happened to your sister!"
"A Taoist can't truly care for you!"
A sharp remark followed from Li Yuel's mouth, her expression one of disbelief as if Qiong Ying had gone mad.
My pupil slightly contracted.
From Li Yuel's expression, there was no sign of malice towards Qiong Ying, only anxiety.
Although her tone was harsh, it carried a sense of Qiong Ying's relentless and pained attempts to persuade her.
"A Taoist? How could he not have genuine feelings? You slut... I..." Lao Gong gnashed his teeth.
"Lao Gong!" Qiong Ying raised her voice, staring at Lao Gong with a stern expression.
"Hmm..." Lao Gong looked somewhat confused, but soon he was making a face of realization.
A knot formed between my eyebrows, and I furrowed them.
I thought Li Yuel had issues, but it turned out her problems were only directed at me?
"The Taoist has no heart... "
This is why Sun Zhu killed Huaying...
Probably, Li Yuel knows Qiong Ying's fate.
The Tiance Yang Gui is a life that nourishes the Yang spirit.
Li Yuel still looked at me coldly, and she seemed to have added some emotions. As if I had taken away something important to her, she wished to kill me after.
Qiong Ying's gaze on Li Yuel changed from cold to a mixture of emotions.
"Many things you don't understand. The Taoists in Jianghuang City are bad, and the Taoists in Jinyang are bad, but this doesn't mean that Xianshen is bad."
"Xianshen has risked his life for me, and we have gone through many life-and-death experiences together."
"You don't understand Xianshen, how can you determine that he has no heart? How can you dare to let the fox cat kill him!?"
Qiong Ying's complex tone turned into more disappointment, and then into emotionless coldness.
Her expression was as if she had become a stranger to Li Yuel from then on.
"Go, let's just let today's matter slide. This is the first and last time."
Qiong Ying pointed to the door.
Li Yuel's fists were clenched tightly, her palms were embedded in her flesh.
Her eyes became redder, and she suddenly cried out, running towards the outside of the house.
