Chapter 75: Not good, discovered by the main body
The two women could hardly believe what they saw. Duan Feng and his son were like slaughtered pigs, their bodies sprawled on the table, heads hanging over the edge, their facial muscles twisted, veins bulging, their eyes as if they would burst at any moment, and their expressions were extremely terrified! Their throats had been cut, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering everywhere, still steaming hot.
“Ah…”
Liu Yingyue was just a businesswoman and had never seen such a terrifying scene. She was immediately so scared that her soul flew away, and she screamed hysterically, stumbling backward, about to fall to the ground.
Xia Wei instinctively supported her shopkeeper. Her lovely face showed more disbelief, her cherry lips parted enough to fit a duck egg.
“Didn’t I tell you to close your eyes?”
Qi Huang complained heartlessly, completely ignoring the fact that they had only turned around after she said “okay.”
Qi Huang did this naturally for a reason. She would have to cooperate with Juyin Auction House for a long time in the future. Without “killing the chicken to warn the monkey,” she couldn’t feel at ease. She didn’t naively believe that the beautiful shopkeeper would actually marry someone she had only met twice and who hadn’t even dared to show her face.
“You… How did you do it?”
Xia Wei asked stutteringly like an idiot.
“How did I do it? Isn’t it as simple as cutting someone’s throat, like killing a chicken or a duck?”
Qi Huang pretended to be oblivious while wiping the blood off the sword with Duan Feng’s clothes.
“No… this is definitely not right… Why would they let you slaughter them?”
Xia Wei pursued relentlessly, the suspicion on her pale face becoming more and more obvious.
“Isn’t that a waste of words? He asked me to kill him just now. I guess he doesn’t want to live anymore. You all saw it.”
Qi Huang continued to talk nonsense, trying to confuse the other party.
“No… he obviously didn’t mean that. Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? Jin Biao didn’t want to live because he was cuckolded. Why would he not want to live for no reason? What about his son? Does he not want to live either?”
Xia Wei’s vigilance did not decrease, and she carefully held her terrified shopkeeper in her arms.
“Let me guess, maybe they were all cuckolded!”
Qi Huang told a bald-faced lie.
“Ah, yes, yes, yes, they were all cuckolded. Jin Biao was, you were, and so were those father and son. Bullheads rejoice!”
Xia Wei sarcastic.
“Are there many green hats? Perhaps Duan Feng gave Jin Biao a green hat, and he felt guilty, so he committed suicide. Afeng saw his father betray his mother and couldn’t figure it out, so he also committed suicide. The result is that no one is left alive. Can the bullheads rejoice now?”
Qi Huang perfunctorily responded insincerely.
“Heh, then Duan Feng is really a kind person. Such a sinister, cunning, and murderous person would actually feel guilty to death for giving someone a green hat.”
Xia Wei sneered.
“Maybe he suddenly found his conscience? So he died to atone for his sins!”
Qi Huang continued to cover up her lie.
“What’s wrong… What happened to the shopkeeper… I think I heard her screaming!”
At this moment, a commotion arose from outside, followed by messy knocking on the door. It was obvious that the guards had been alerted.
Liu Yingyue was startled, her soul instantly returned to her body, and she stammeringly said to the outside, “I… I’m fine, there was just a cockroach… cockroach.”
When the guards heard that the shopkeeper was fine, they quickly dispersed.
“Young master, regardless of how they died, it is an irrefutable fact that you have solved this major worry for me. This humble woman is deeply grateful. If you ever need anything in the future, I will do my best.”
Liu Yingyue calmed herself and then bowed respectfully with sincerity.
“Wife, you are too serious. Why do we say such polite things between husband and wife?”
Qi Huang joked.
“…”
A blush appeared on Liu Yingyue’s pretty face, and the atmosphere became a little awkward and ambiguous.
“Alright, I’ve helped you get rid of the parasites in Juyin Auction House. From now on, the personal safety of the clients will no longer be threatened. Do you have any other problems now?”
Qi Huang inquired.
“No problem. As long as you can continue to provide Cat’s Eye Tears, it won’t be long before Yongning Prefecture’s Juyin Auction House becomes famous. When there are more competitors, the price of your Cat’s Eye Tears will also increase.”
Liu Yingyue tidied her appearance and then resumed her businessman’s tone. She knew that if she wanted to turn the tables, it wouldn’t be enough to just clear out the parasites. She needed something tangible to promote. And the Cat’s Eye Tears in the hands of this mysterious young man were the best choice.
“Naturally.”
Qi Huang waved her hand generously, then said, “It’s getting late now. I’ll leave the cleanup to you all. I’m going to find an inn to rest.”
“Why look for one? We have plenty of guest rooms in our auction house. If you don’t mind, please stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll have Xia Wei bring a few people to escort you back.”
Liu Yingyue enthusiastically suggested.
“That would be great!”
Qi Huang agreed without hesitation. She knew that if she refused now, the other party would not give up. It was better to agree first and then find an opportunity to slip away quietly later.
As expected, Liu Yingyue did not suspect anything and politely asked the servants to arrange guest rooms, while she herself had to stay to deal with the mess. After all, the death of the deputy shopkeeper of the auction house was not a small matter.
Qi Huang obediently followed the servant to the guest room. As soon as the servant left, she secretly took flight. She didn’t want to deal with these people any longer.
Qi Huang’s Spiritual Sense had reached the Divine Ability realm, and her speed was astonishing. In less than half an hour, she returned to HongHua Sect. However, to enter, she had to make preparations, otherwise, it would be terrible if the main body discovered her. When she came out, she had placed a brainless clone in her bedroom to impersonate her.
“I say, big sister Yaoyao, can you come out and help me become invisible now?”
Qi Huang begged Yaoyao in the Storage Ring.
“Yes, but you have to promise me one thing: find an opportunity to occupy a piece of land in Pingshan Mass Grave.”
Yaoyao bargained.
“What do you want to do?”
Qi Huang asked cautiously.
“Isn’t that a waste of words? My clansmen are about to take human form. Do you want to lock them in the Storage Ring forever? Do you remember what you promised me? To be a qualified Cat Owner. Pingshan Mass Grave is not only hidden but also filled with lonely ghosts, which is the best place for our Nine Nether Demonic Cat clan.”
Yaoyao stated her reason.
“I certainly haven’t forgotten, but there’s a dead Zombie Crown Prince there now. I don’t know if he’ll allow me to do this.”
Qi Huang hesitated. That guy’s strength was astonishing, and he always wanted to abduct her to be his Crown Princess. He was a dangerous element.
“What are you afraid of? With me backing you, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. And the others who claimed they wanted to marry you as their Crown Princess wouldn’t bear to hurt a single hair on your head.”
Yaoyao mocked.
“Be his Crown Princess? I’d rather have a single hair on my body hurt!”
Qi Huang retorted. Compared to being his Crown Princess, she would rather explode with him.
“Stop wasting time. Promise me and I’ll hide you, otherwise, you find a way yourself!”
Yaoyao said impatiently. After spending so much time together, she knew that her Cat Owner’s freedom was restricted by the main body. Once she ran around, she would be punished, so she was fearless.
“Alright, I promise you, but you have to cover me at all times, otherwise, if I’m snatched by that guy to be his Crown Princess, you’ll lose a beautiful, kind, and powerful Cat Owner little brother.”
Qi Huang weakly pleaded.
“Tsk, I have my own things to do, I’m not your nanny.”
Yaoyao rolled her eyes, then transformed into the black skirt belt that reached her waist and put it on Qi Huang.
“Ooh!”
Qi Huang let out a long sigh, then flew into HongHua Sect and sneakily went to her residence.
Qi Huang was afraid of making a sound, so she didn’t dare to walk. She quietly opened the window and flew in. Seeing that brainless clone number two was still honestly sitting on the bed impersonating her, she was completely relieved.
At this moment, Qi Huang suddenly found Cheng Hong Ling’s Spiritual Sense scanning into the room.
“Not good, she’s discovered me!”
Qi Huang’s breathing stopped abruptly because she had taken a few steps. This had clearly been heard by the main body.
