The figure stiffened for a moment before quickly regaining composure.
"It's you," Sang Qingxiao said. "If the old monk saw you in this state, he would probably feel more at ease."
The person abruptly turned around, their gaze cold and piercing as they fixed it on Sang Qingxiao. After a pause, their form began to change; they shrank at first, then suddenly grew tall, muscles swelling and expanding all over their body. Especially their left arm, which was covered in tough beast hide, transforming their hand into a claw. The once delicate features now bore signs of hardship and hostility as they approached, emanating an intimidating pressure.
Yong Huai heard the commotion and rushed over, pushing Qi Xiaomian behind them and standing beside Sang Qingxiao.
It really was him—Leopard Demon Lizu!
Sang Qingxiao regarded him with a nod of approval; at least he hadn’t backed down in a crisis and knew how to protect others.
In that moment of distraction, Misha was only separated from Sang Qingxiao by an iron fence. Given Misha's strength, the fence was practically meaningless.
Yet Misha stood still on the other side, confirming, "Demon Catcher!"
"Yes," Sang Qingxiao replied with a smile and a nod.
"You've got some guts; are you thinking of contracting me?"
"If that's the case, I still need to assess things," Sang Qingxiao did not deny it. "I learned some things back at Puzhao Temple. This afternoon when you passed by Boss Sang, you looked familiar. With the bounty issued by Puzhao Temple, how could you not take precautions?"
"Why bother with precautions, little girl? Don’t provoke me; I eat people."
"Oh?" Sang Qingxiao stepped forward, closing the distance to just a fist's length. "What a coincidence; I tame man-eating demons. Master Hui Jue can't compare to me—want to give it a try?"
"Sure!"
The moment Misha tore through the iron fence, Sang Qingxiao was quicker, kicking him back into the cage while using spatial magic to trap both of them. Before Misha could react, she unleashed a flurry of punches that landed heavily, drawing blood with each strike.
Misha wanted to hold back; after all, his opponent was just a girl. But after taking such a beating, anyone would be enraged.
This little girl's punches were unexpectedly heavy. Though they seemed slightly inferior against his Qilin Arm, when combined with her demon-catching spell, she first restrained his strength and then pounded him mercilessly, leaving him feeling frustrated in battle.
Thinking he had found an opening, Misha retaliated with heavy strikes. As their fists collided, Misha sneered inwardly—how despicable!
He couldn't tell what kind of binding she had around her waist; after fragmenting it reassembled to wrap around her right hand. With a wicked smile, she released her spell and aimed for his Qilin Arm. Each punch released some demonic energy that forcefully disrupted his own.
Misha transformed back into that delicate and slender figure.
Seizing the opportunity while he was weakened, Sang Qingxiao traced symbols with her fingertips and pressed them against his forehead to delve into his memories.
"Master," Xiao Xuan Yin invited me to play at the Demon Subduing Institute. The stout Little Monk leaned closer with hopeful eyes fixed on Master Wulian. "I actually didn’t want to go, but since he was so sincere... Master, what if I..."
Misha secretly observed Master Wulian's expression and tentatively suggested, "What if I just don’t go?"
Master Wulian smiled, "If you've decided not to go, then why ask me? Did you finish your homework yesterday? Procrastination is not a good habit."
However, Misha was anxious. He had invited me several times already.
Wulian's smile grew a bit more complex. "You like Xiao Xuan Yin, so why not invite him over to play? Don't you both enjoy your time at Pujiyuan? Why must you go to the Demon Subduing Institute?"
Xuan Yin chimed in, "The senior brothers at the Demon Subduing Institute are always having fun and playing around. Plus, there are so many little animals in the back mountain that will come right into your hands. The food there is especially delicious, particularly the braised chicken leg; just the smell makes my mouth water."
Misha listened with longing and said a lot about it. In the end, he asked, "Is the chicken leg really that good? Why doesn't Pujiyuan have it?"
