Chapter 21: Beheading the Demon and Returning to the City

  According to Shen Yis judgment, his own cultivation of Wind Thunder Fuyu True Solution has four stages.

  Just right to correspond with the initial boundary cultivation.

  Three orifices are the entrance, which is the early stage of the initial boundary. The five orifices of ones own are cultivated in the middle period of the initial boundary, about twice as close to the yellow skin.

  The strong bullying the weak, and yet they still manage to make it so troublesome.

  In the end, it was because I didnt have an opponent with such magical powers at my disposal. Facing their strong defense, for a moment I was at a loss and could only rely on brute force and cultivation to overwhelm them.

  Shen Yi sighed, cultivation was indeed important, but it would be best if he also had a few tricks up his sleeve.

  The three-style martial arts passed down from the Demon-Slaying Department were already somewhat ineffective against truly powerful demons.

  He turned around, and the villagers had already prepared two flatbed carts. There were too many corpses, too heavy, so they simply took only the heads, but even so, they piled up into a small mountain.

  "Whats going on?" Chen Ji was somewhat bewildered.

  "Return to the city." Shen Yi walked towards the old donkey that was slowly running from the other end of the road, and got on its back.

  He has thoroughly woken up after going through this matter.

  Its not as easy as you think to gain a good reputation and join the Demon-Slaying Department.

  The government cannot just sit back and watch its own plans go wrong.

  In that case, its necessary to make a cut-off.

  ……

  Dusk falls, Baiyun County.

  Street vendors were busy packing up their goods, while a group of soldiers yawned and guarded the city gate.

  A foul smell wafted over.

  Several soldiers on duty hastily covered their mouths and noses, while the vendors stood up straight, curiously looking towards the city gate. The next moment, a heap of terrifying wolf heads appeared in sight, all with ferocious faces, vividly lifelike, with blood-stained big mouths wide open, and between their eyebrows and eyes, there seemed to be a dense fear.

  "Oni... Oni have entered the city!"

  The peddlers spoon fell from his hand, and he hastily retreated several steps, tripping over his own feet.

  The soldiers also tensed up instantly and hastily grasped their long guns.

  Two villagers who were originally responsible for pulling the cart, with their heads bowed and a hint of curiosity and awkwardness on their faces from not having entered the city for a long time, upon seeing the groups ugly appearance, couldnt help but straighten their backs.

  "Whats with that look? Weve encountered monsters before and were so scared we couldnt move, but its not like were afraid of a pile of corpses. It smells delicious."

  Chen Ji walked slowly into the city with a complex expression.

  Behind him, an old donkey was slowly chewing on its fodder. A handsome young man sat on the donkey, his eyes calm, but the stench emanating from his body made everyone tremble with fear.

  "Shen... is Shen Yi?"

  The soldiers held their long guns and blinked unbelievably.

  Their face was all too familiar, but now except for the five senses that hadnt changed, their expression and temperament were worlds apart from the former rogue.

  "A scourge of a thousand knives, and even in death, he still wants to give me a fright."

  The little vendor also got up from the ground, patted his clothes, and stole a glance at the young man riding the donkey with a hint of shock.

  How many monsters must be killed in order to dye all of these clothes like this?

  "Mr. Shen, this way, please!"

  He hastily made way for him, but in his heart he was delighted that there would be a new topic of conversation after dinner.

  How long has it been since Baiyun County last sent someone out of the city to quell demons?

  Whats more, its such a big move!

  "Youve finally managed to offend the entire yamen."

  Chen Ji took in the expressions of everyone present and couldnt help but let out a bitter smile.

  He didnt quite understand why Shen Daren, who was known for his good manners and conduct, would suddenly behave in such a reckless manner.

  Shen Yis expression was calm and gentle as she lowered her eyelids and spoke in a soft voice: "Is there a choice?"

  "You have the ability to slay demons and monsters, but theres no need to make it known to everyone. With this skill, you will naturally have a bright future..."

  Just as Chen Ji was halfway through speaking, he suddenly froze up.

  He remembered that the Town Demon Patrol was imminent, and if he could show a peaceful and harmonious side of Baiyun County, his future would be worry-free.

  But the other party has already offended the demon, and when necessary, who dares to guarantee that the government will not push it out to block the knife.

  If it were up to those monkey demons and yellow-skinned brats to come after me, it would be the same as putting my life and family in the hands of that pack of corrupt officials.

  It would be better to make a big show of it and let everyone in the county know what kind of person Shen Yi is.

  Under the investigation of the Town Demon School Lieutenant, who dares to say that they can block the mouths of over a million people.

  This is not reckless, but rather a deliberate result after careful consideration.

  "Ive been following you for two days, Im about to grow a new brain."

  Chen Ji shook his head helplessly and immediately raised his head with pride, putting on a haughty attitude.

  As he watched, a group of constables stumbled out of the wine shop in front of him. He deliberately led two civilians towards them and with a swift motion, his knife sheath struck down.

  "Scram! Youre asking for a whipping!"

  Zhang Pengtian had never suffered such humiliation before. Drunkenly, he turned his head and wanted to fight back: "Damn it, which blind thing..."

  His eyes swept over Chen Ji, just about to draw his sword, when he noticed a cold gaze looking down at him from above.

  "Down... Down..."

  The courage to show off in front of his brother disappeared instantly after seeing the two dog demons heads, especially the yellow-skinned head that was piled highest.

  Zhang Pengtian touched his face which had been slapped and retreated in a flurry.

  He couldnt figure out how the other side had managed to survive and return... He quickly went to report to Liu Dianli.

  ……

  "Alright, you take them two to the yamen, after things are settled, find them a place to stay and have a good meal."

  Shen Yi left the street, dug into his waistband and tossed out a few pieces of silver: "You two have had a hard time, this meal is on me."

  "Thank you, Master!" The two porters had personally witnessed the others ferocity when beheading demons and didnt expect him to be so gentle normally, they quickly nodded in gratitude.

  Only Chen Ji furrowed his brow, pinching that piece of broken silver, and no matter how he looked at it, it seemed familiar.

  Said goodbye to several people.

  Shen Yi got off the donkey, stretched his body slightly, and covered up the fatigue in his eyes. He walked slowly towards his own home.

  It has to be said that this was his most exhausting battle ever.

  Its not just physical strength, but also the withered breath of heaven and earth in the orifices, making people feel like theyve fallen from the immortal realm to the mortal world in an instant. Under the huge sense of loss, ones spirit cant help but be somewhat dispirited.

  He stood still under the thatched roof of the hut.

  To avoid seeing something she shouldnt see, Shen Yi stretched out her hand and knocked on the door.

  The voice arrives before the person does.

  "How come youre back so late? Im starving!" Despite the weak tone, it still sounds crisp and pleasant.

  Upon hearing the response, Shen Yi pushed open the door and entered, her eyebrows immediately furrowing slightly.

  The small house, which was still messy and dirty yesterday, has been transformed overnight and is now spotless, making it almost too clean to step into.

  The womans wet hair was draped behind her, her clean little face was lovely and charming, with a hint of elegance in her eyebrows that added to her unique charm.

  She wore a black shirt, although slightly loose, it still set off her tall and slender figure. Her thick pants were half wet, revealing her plump and long legs, and a pair of white and tender feet stepped directly on the ground.

  "Ive washed all the clothes, including your soap-stained ones. Ill borrow some of your old clothes to wear for now."

  Lin Baiwei said, suddenly raising her eyes: "Are you going to work or go soak in the blood pool?"

  Her nose twitched slightly, and her expression changed subtly: "Yao blood?"

  Shen Yi didnt respond, just averted her gaze, pulled out a lotus leaf package from her bosom and casually tossed it onto the table: "Make do with this."

  Seeing that he didnt want to say more, Lin Baiwei sensibly stopped asking and sat down at the table, eagerly lifting up the lotus leaf stained with demonic blood.

  "Wow! Theres actually meat."

  She picked up a blood-stained salted pork strip, wiped it slightly, and stuffed it into the cold hard fire pit: "Awoo."

  "I said just make do with it, you might as well pick the cleaner one inside." Even Shen Yi couldnt help but rub his temples at this moment.

  "Youre so pretentious because youve never experienced hardship. If you were in a desolate wilderness, who would care if you starved to death?"

  Lin Baiwei savored the pancake, her face filled with delight, and couldnt help but comment: "So delicious."

  “……”

  Shen Yi was speechless, this remark made it seem as if he were the one who grew up in a wealthy merchant family, while the other person was just a common street urchin.
