Chapter 7: The Ape Calamity Draws Near

  "Ill kill you..."

  Chen Jihuns whole body was tense, letting out a beast-like roar.

  Shen Yis sharp slap landed on his face with a crisp "crack", stunning the other party.

  "Pick up your knife and stand up straight. Whats the use of boasting after losing? Do you have an old man to speak for you?"

  Looking at the dagger kicked over, Chen Ji was completely stunned.

  The other party has already put away his sword and turned around, which means that in Shen Yis eyes, he is completely harmless.

  Chen Ji had always thought that he was the most hidden person in the entire yamen, and after having a private conversation with the Town Demon Guard Captain, whether it was his vision or strength, he had long surpassed his colleagues by a huge margin.

  The reason why I still have to suffer under Shen Yis hands is that there was too little time left for me to grow.

  But all things that are ordinary...

  Reality gave him a huge blow.

  Just now, if I didnt see it wrong, Shen Yis seemingly casual movements clearly contained the flavor of Fuyao Knife Method, even that kind of long-ingrained, perfectly rounded feeling.

  The opponents sword is faster and stronger than his own, and he is more familiar with this martial art! Thats why he can easily break through his offense.

  "But...the Demon Vanquishing Divisions Lieutenant has only been teaching you martial arts for three years now, how could you possibly have reached perfection already."

  Chen Ji picked up his sword and muttered to himself.

  Shen Yi walked up to a group of prostrate attendants: "Where is he?"

  Zhang Dahu opened his mouth and for a long time couldnt say a complete sentence: "Everyone everyone..."

  This old man at home is exceptionally skilled at drinking, arm-wrestling and sleeping with women, but when did he ever start playing with knives?

  Shen Yi let out a sigh and kicked it away, sending it flying half a meter away: "Im asking you where the person is?"

  The predecessor left many things for himself.

  It can be understood that Shen Yi is like a broker, eating the official salary, wholeheartedly helping various demons solve their needs.

  Unlike those canine demons under Huang Pizis command, who were simple-minded and only sought to devour humans.

  On the other side, there are also groups of old apes who crave beauty and prefer women who have not yet reached adulthood. However, they are naturally cruel and the women sent to them in the past did not last more than a few months before being played with until death, the demand is very high.

  This time, its just a conflict between the two sides demands.

  The predecessor had originally prepared six women for Lao Yuan, all of whom were in their youthful years and had not yet reached adulthood. One of them was that little girl from the Liu family.

  The Liu family was targeted by the dog demon again.

  Helpless, the predecessor had to shift his gaze to Chen Jis younger sister, although she was a bit older, but her appearance was much better than those malnourished and thin little girls.

  "What a beast!"

  Shen Yi shook her head, and her eyes became even sharper.

  He thought he had experienced many hardships in his past life and understood the coldness and warmth of human relationships, but only when he was in this chaotic world did he realize that suffering also has its depths.

  Zhang Dahu found out that Lao Da was really angry and not just pretending for the sake of Chens kid.

  He rubbed his stomach and got up from the ground, leading the way for everyone quickly.

  Seeing this, Chen Ji also anxiously followed up.

  Just two streets away from the government office, Zhang Dahu turned into a teahouse on the corner of the street. In a vegetable garden behind the toilet, several girls were tightly bound, covered in mud and weak in breath, apparently having gone hungry for a long time.

  "The old ladies in the kiln havent had time to come over and dress them up, they look a bit ugly, but actually with a little makeup, they can still be seen."

  An official came up and explained a few words, worried that Lao Da would dislike them for being lazy.

  The words had just been spoken halfway, and were pushed down by Zhang Datou: "Boss, this is the contract of selling their parents handprints, all here, are the parents who gave birth to them, we also pity, really have no way..."

  Shen Yi took over a stack of paper contracts, remained silent for a moment, and said: "Go buy some rice, flour, salt, and pork. Buy more, and hurry up."

  "Alright!"

  Zhang Dahu turned around and left, he had followed Shen Lao Da for many years, deeply understanding the others ruthless means, those brothers who had slightly questioned him at first, eventually all filled the belly of the demon.

  Dont ask if you shouldnt ask.

  "What Im saying is... buy."

  Another cold reminder came from behind, Zhang Datous whole body stiffened, and he turned his head to meet Shen Yis clear eyes, which no longer had the previous ferocity, nor any threatening meaning.

  But for some reason, Zhang Datou suddenly felt a strong urge to urinate and his legs involuntarily clenched together: "I understand, Ill go buy it with the silver, dont worry."

  Shen Yi looked forward again.

  Chen Jifus face was gloomy, and he silently reached out to untie the rope from one of the girls.

  Its all about comparison.

  Among the group of dark and thin girls, Chen Jinyus slender figure was weak, but didnt have a malnourished look. Even when covered in mud, it couldnt hide her fair and delicate skin.

  Also because he had just been caught, his complexion was not as weak as the others.

  Her delicate features carry a hint of bookish elegance, with a touch of moving charm.

  Its no wonder that she was remembered by her previous life with such a beautiful appearance.

  There is a steward brother who takes care of her, and she lives more easily than other girls.

  Chen Jiyin gritted his teeth, helped his sister up and sat her on a bluestone, usually, whoever dared to hurt this girl, he would surely get furious, draw his sword and chop.

  But now he silently vents his anger in the palm of his hand.

  “……”

  Shen Yi withdrew her gaze and squatted down to untie the remaining girls, stroking their foreheads with the back of her hand one by one under their terrified stares.

  The weather has been cool lately, and if I catch a cold, it will be troublesome.

  Fortunately, they were just starving and exhausted, nothing more serious than that.

  "Shen Ye..." The smallest girl among them, who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, was also trembling with fear.

  Shen Yis face turned gloomy and he lost his smile, this infamous reputation of his had actually spread to even such a small child.

  He wiped away the mud on his opponents face with his thumb and gently patted his head: "Take a rest, Ill send you home."

  Before long, a group of servants came back carrying big and small packages.

  Shen Yi stood up, glanced at Chen Ji who was squatting and clenching his fists so hard that he almost pierced his palm with his fingernails, and said helplessly: "Its almost time to go off duty, but the office hasnt been dismissed yet."

  Having said that, he took a few boys and walked out of the teahouse.

  "Everyone else get back to your dorms, put down your stuff and let him carry it."

  When he heard this, Chen Ji almost laughed out loud. You treat your own sister like that and you still dare to ask me to help you with hard labor?

  Chen Jinyus expression was dazed, lightly biting her thin lips. Perhaps because of her slightly older age, compared to the panic of other girls, she seemed a bit more calm: "Brother, Im fine, you go ahead and take care of your business."

  She knew her brothers temper best and in this situation, it would be hard for even herself to persuade him.

  Therefore, she cant afford to show panic, which wont only fail to solve the problem but also invite more trouble.

  "Hurry up, itll be dark soon if you keep dawdling." Another voice came from outside, Shen Yis.

  Blunt words made Chen Jinyus heart tighten, and her eyes looking at Chen Ji had a hint of worry.

  What she didnt expect was that her brother suddenly stood up, and actually stretched out his hand to put the rice on his body: "Follow me, when Im done with work, Ill take you home."

  Seeing this, Chen Jinyu was slightly stunned, and then involuntarily cast her eyes outside, with curiosity emerging in her eyes.
