Chapter 1175 The Demon Hunter's Great Demon 20
Chapter 1175 The Demon Hunter's Great Demon 20
Baili Qing'er, who had spent seven days drawing a top-grade demon-catching talisman, was stabbed in the chest.
Unable to resist, she raised her hand to interrupt He Qinqin: "Alright, stop talking."
Hearing this made her want to cry even more.
He Qinqin stopped eating, but the gluttonous Fang Shui started talking again.
"Alright, all of you, stop chatting and stop talking. We're going to a restaurant to celebrate Sister Yao Yao's promotion to Earth-level Demon Slayer. Do you want to come along?"
Fang Shui's question did not imply that he really wanted Baili Qing'er to go with them.
After all, she knew that Baili Qing'er was a young lady from a prestigious family and usually looked down on them, so of course she wouldn't eat with them.
The main reason was that she was hungry and wanted to call everyone to go to a restaurant for a meal as soon as possible.
To everyone's surprise, Baili Qing'er actually agreed.
So, inexplicably, the four of them ended up eating at a restaurant together.
Although the four of them sat at the same table, the atmosphere was still somewhat awkward.
None of the four people knew why things had turned out this way.
I don't know why the four of them ended up eating together.
However, once the dishes were served, no one had time to think about anything else.
They went out for dinner today at Yunshuizhai, the best restaurant in the main county, where a meal costs at least ten taels of silver.
They don't usually eat such luxurious meals.
Even though they've been demon hunters for two years, they're lucky if they have a dozen or so taels of silver left over. Demon hunters earn a lot, but they also spend a lot.
When you're traveling, the most valuable thing you have isn't money.
Instead, they used their magical artifacts, talismans, chicken blood, and realgar...
A peach wood sword costs over thirty taels of silver, while the more expensive money sword and magic whip cost over a hundred taels.
Fang Shui saved up for two years and only managed to buy a peach wood sword, since she would send money home regularly.
He Qinqin's family scraped together some money to buy her a money sword.
Baili Qing'er has many magical artifacts, including a silver spear worth over a thousand taels of silver, which is said to be able to make demons vanish instantly with a single thrust.
However, this magical artifact is powerful, but its use is also very limited; a demon hunter can only use it once a month at most.
Lingyao only symbolically spent five hundred taels of silver to buy an imperial edict, which could not only exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, but also slay evil spirits and suppress ghosts.
However, this magical artifact also has a drawback: the demon must be trapped before the Emperor's command can be used.
But this was not difficult for Lingyao, because she had the best demon-catching jade plate and a necklace made of a string of relics.
With a flick of her wrist, the relic would arrange itself according to her command, trapping the demon within.
However, Lingyao usually uses it when she goes out to do missions by herself in order to speed things up.
I don't usually use it when doing two-player or multiplayer tasks.
The four of them didn't say much, focusing on eating.
Even Baili Qing'er ate attentively. Although she often came to Yunshuizhai, the food today seemed to taste better than before.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't been able to eat much in the days leading up to this assessment, and when she did eat, she would just grab a few bites to fill her stomach.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Lingyao with a hint of resentment.
The four of them were enjoying their meal when a voice broke the silence at the table.
"Qing'er, what are you doing here?"
Nangong Yu, who came to eat, saw Baili Qing'er, who had politely declined her invitation earlier that day but suddenly appeared at the restaurant.
She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, especially since Baili Qing'er was sitting at the same table with Yu Lingyao and the other two.
Her finger, which was pointing at Baili Qing'er, was trembling.
Baili Qing'er was also taken aback when she saw Nangong Yu, and immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up.
I wanted to speak up to defend myself, but I couldn't say anything.
After all, it would be too embarrassing for her to say that she went to confront Yu Lingyao and ended up crying first.
Fortunately, Xie Huaiyu was with Nangong Yu, who happened to come out and ease the tension.
Xie Huaiyu's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Lingyao sitting there calmly, eating her meal at a leisurely pace.
Two years have passed, and the girl who was only fourteen when she first enrolled has fully blossomed.
What was once just a budding flower has now blossomed into a magnificent and proud gardenia.
She was still wearing the blue robes of a Xuan-level demon hunter. Her double buns were gone, replaced by a tassel bun, and her hair was half-up, adorned only with a jade hairpin.
Her profile, as cool and aloof as the moon, was exquisite and beautiful.
Xie Huaiyu stepped forward and greeted the four people in a familiar manner.
Finally, the message came to Ling Yao: "I heard you passed the Earth-level Demon Catcher exam this time. Congratulations."
Xie Huaiyu also rose from Xuan level to Di level last year, and he never expected that Ling Yao and Baili Qing'er would both be promoted to Di level demon hunters this year.
After all, as a close friend of Baili Qing'er, he knew how much help the Baili family had provided to her.
Whether it's Ganoderma lucidum ointment, various precious ingredients, or magical treasures imbued with spiritual energy, the Baili family always prioritizes giving them to Baili Qing'er.
The resources of Baili Qing'er's family were used to support Baili Qing'er.
Yu Lingyao's background was nothing more than that of a commoner. He even found out about Liu Yeqing, and found that Liu Yeqing had no relation to her at all. At most, Liu Yeqing was just a recommender who let her participate in the demon hunter assessment.
That's why Xie Huaiyu was shocked.
She grew up so fast that he felt ashamed of himself.
If Lingyao could hear Xie Huaiyu's inner thoughts, she would definitely interrupt his attempts to create a god.
He was overthinking it; she ate just as well.
Since the person had sincerely congratulated her, Lingyao nodded and said thank you.
As soon as she finished speaking, the little snake that had been sleeping in her pocket suddenly bit her.
Lingyao couldn't help but frown.
The clothes covered me, so I wasn't seriously injured, but I could still feel something.
Lingyao pretended to casually pat the clothes at her waist twice, but actually slapped the binding token in her pocket twice.
The spirit has now grown into a young man, and even when it transforms into a small snake, Lingyao still attacks it without hesitation.
As it turned out, the little snake was clearly not so easy to calm down today; it was very irritable.
Lingyao could even sense that he seemed to want to rush outside.
That won't do; this is the busiest time for the restaurant.
If this little snake dares to rush out, it will soon attract more than a dozen demon hunters to surround them.
Although she should be able to defeat any spirit-binding creature, the trouble that would ensue if word got out that she was raising demonic beings would be unimaginable.
So when Lingyao realized that the little snake was trying to rush out, she immediately stood up from the table.
I need to go out for a bit.
After saying that, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and hurriedly left.
As Lingyao brushed past Xie Huaiyu, Xie Huaiyu, who had originally wanted to say something to Lingyao, suddenly frowned.
"How could this be? There's a demonic aura..."
