Chapter 129 Return
Qingyang frowned helplessly after hearing this. He was at a loss for what to do and turned to look at Xiao Han.
After considering it carefully, Xiao Han said, "Then I'll trouble Master Su. We'll meet at the city gate when we get back."
Su Jue chuckled and said, "It won't take long, I'll go with you."
After Su Jue put the cat demon into the demon-suppressing bottle, the group began to walk down the mountain.
Standing on the mountain and looking down, you can clearly see the battlefield from just now. Looking around, you can see many gray wolf and wild cat corpses lying haphazardly on the ground.
One can imagine that the fight just now was extremely fierce, and their clothes were stained with a lot of blood.
The group walked around the corpses of the gray wolf and the wildcat, heading back to where they had tethered their horses.
At that moment, a robust black wolf stood high on the mountain, staring intently at the departing group of people below.
Standing next to it was a smaller black wolf.
The little black wolf told the big black wolf what had happened down the mountain, explaining the whole story in detail.
"Boss," the little black wolf continued after explaining what had happened, "Gray Wolf has been captured. Should we go rescue him?"
Upon hearing this, a chill flashed in the big black wolf's eyes, and it said coldly, "It condoned the black cat's killing and heart-ripping, and now it is still going its own way, sending so many of its companions to their deaths. There is no point in saving it. Even if the Celestial Master lets it go, the wolf clan will not accept it again."
Its voice was low and carried a hint of reproach.
After they finished speaking, they turned and walked towards the back of the mountain, disappearing into the dense forest shortly afterward.
With an excited expression, Qingying chuckled and said, "What happened today is enough for me to brag about to Qingshan and Qingsong when I get back, hehe... This trip was worthwhile."
"Hmph... what a wasted trip." Qing Tong snorted coldly, glanced at Qing Ying, and said, "You didn't say that before. Didn't you say there was nothing fun in this mountain valley? You didn't think that way when we were surrounded!"
Qingying glared at him and slowly said, "Things change, times change!"
Qingzhou said with lingering fear, "But to be honest, being surrounded by the cats and wolves was really scary. I still get goosebumps thinking about it!"
"Qingshan was supposed to come today, but he switched shifts with me. If I tell him when I get back, he'll definitely regret it to death." Qingyang said gloatingly, "Hehe... I can't help but laugh just thinking about how he'll jump up and down when he regrets it."
“You only say this now that everything is alright!” Qingzhou asked suspiciously. “You certainly didn’t think this way when we were facing danger! Did you regret switching shifts with Qingshan back then?”
Qingyang pouted: "What are you talking about? Do I look like that kind of person?"
Qingzhou didn't make a judgment, but simply looked him up and down with a suspicious gaze.
Ignoring their bickering, Qingying went to put her arm around Su Jue's shoulder and pestered him for interesting stories about catching demons.
Seeing this, Qing Tong, Qing Yang, and Qing Zhou also ran over to listen out of curiosity.
Long Chuqing said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry for bringing you to such a dangerous place today."
"What are you saying!" Xiao Han turned to look at Long Chuqing. "You don't need to apologize to me. I insisted on coming with you."
"Thanks to you, I saw something different today. Not to mention the wolf demons and cat demons I've never seen before, even such a large pack of wolves and wild cats is hard to come by."
"Moreover," Xiao Han continued, "this time we also helped Third Brother catch the mastermind behind the murder case, so this trip was worthwhile."
Long Chuqing scoffed: "It was supposed to be a dangerous journey, but you make it sound like you've gained a lot from it."
“Speaking of danger,” Xiao Han turned to look at Long Chuqing, his eyes narrowing and his expression becoming much more serious: “Chuqing, you wanted to come alone before, did you already know there were monsters here? Aren’t you afraid?”
"I just wanted to come and take a look, but I didn't expect Master Su to be here, nor did I expect them to summon so many wolves and wild cats to attack."
He knew things weren't that simple; Chu Qing knew many things he didn't, but since she didn't say anything, he stopped asking.
Xiao Han said seriously, "Don't go to such dangerous places alone in the future."
Long Chuqing smiled slightly: "Alright, but such a dangerous scene as today is rare."
“Chu Qing…” Xiao Han stopped and said, “Why is one of your hairpins missing? Did it fall off during the fight just now?”
"It didn't fall off, it's in my little bag!" Long Chuqing patted the small cloth bag at her waist; "It fell on the ground earlier and got covered in blood, so I wasn't wearing it."
"You're spouting nonsense with a straight face! You just spout off whatever comes to mind!" Fei Feng retorted.
"We can't say that, we still need to find a reason," Feng Yu chimed in.
"Oh, I see! I thought it was lost, I'm glad it wasn't."
As Xiao Han walked, he kept glancing at Long Chuqing, his expression one of wanting to say something but holding back.
"What's wrong?" Long Chuqing noticed Xiao Han's unusual behavior and asked.
"Chu Qing," Xiao Han called softly. "Can I take a look at your whip? It seemed very special when I was using it just now, different from ordinary whips."
"I thought something had happened!" Long Chuqing handed the whip to Xiao Han. "Here, take a look!"
Chu Qing's straightforwardness made him seem a bit suspicious, and Xiao Han accepted it with slight embarrassment.
He held it in his hand and examined it carefully, finding that the whip was now perfectly clean, without even the slightest scratch.
But even though I just killed a lot of wild cats, and the cat demon was bleeding from the place where it was strangled, the whip didn't have a single drop of blood on it.
He had been standing beside Long Chuqing the whole time, and hadn't seen her wipe the whip once. He couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Is this material really that special?"
He examined it more closely and found that the whip was covered with feather-like patterns, but it was neat, smooth and tightly fitted, and did not look like a sharp blade at all.
Seeing his puzzled expression as he stared blankly at the whip, Long Chuqing asked, "What's wrong? Do you think there's something wrong with it?"
"Is there a mechanism on this whip? When I used it before, I found that the whip seemed very sharp, but now it looks perfectly normal."
“You discovered it.” Long Chuqing’s lips curled up slightly as she took the whip from Xiao Han’s hand, preparing to show it to him. She said calmly, “Look.”
Long Chuqing gripped the handle of the whip, his thumb lightly touching the indentation on the handle, and the slender whip instantly retracted into the handle.
After another light touch, the whip extended a section from the handle. Then, by rotating the handle, the patterns on the whip instantly unfolded, revealing a sharp feather blade.
"During use, the feather blade will automatically unfold when it comes into contact with an enemy, without requiring manual operation, and it will not harm the user," Long Chuqing explained.
