"What do you think you're doing? All the guests upstairs are mine. Not only did you barge in without permission, but you're also planning to start a fight. Do you believe I'll go and report you to the authorities right now!" Hua'er rushed downstairs and pointed at them, scolding.
The leading man showed a fierce look on his face. He casually flung Hua'er aside and led a group of people straight towards Yuebai's room.
"Get out of the way! We're here on orders to catch demons. If the demon escapes, the authorities will hold you accountable when you report this!" The people behind raised their weapons and surrounded Yuebai's room tightly.
Yang Xue stood by, watching the show. She almost forgot that the black leopard, Xuan You, had an extraordinary background. If he couldn't even deal with a few demon - catchers, his thousands of years of life would have been in vain.
"Who's making such a ruckus!" The black leopard opened the door and walked out, holding a mysterious iron long sword in his hand. His luxurious black robe added a chilling aura to his cold face.
The once - imposing demon - catchers involuntarily took a step back. This man had a strong presence, and his tall and mighty figure exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression, making more than a dozen of them afraid to meet his eyes.
The leading middle - aged man was stunned for a moment but quickly regained his composure. He said in a deep voice, "There's a demonic aura here. Please, sir, don't make things difficult for us."
"Demonic aura?" The black leopard's skin was cold and pale. The cold light shooting from his ink - colored pupils seemed to come from the netherworld. He sneered and took a few steps forward. "If there's a demonic aura, go and catch the demon. What are you doing in my room? Am I the demon?"
The man took out the compass in his hand. "The demon is in your room. Please..."
"Click!" The compass needle trembled and instantly turned into powder.
"Still want to catch demons?" The black leopard hooked the corner of his lips. His smile that didn't reach his eyes made people shiver and their hair stand on end.
Even the dullest of them realized that this man's strength far exceeded theirs.
"Are you a demon?" The leading demon - catcher swallowed hard as he looked at him, barely able to breathe under his powerful aura.
"What do you think, huh?" Xuan You sneered. He leaned forward and got close to him, lowering his voice. "No demon - catcher has ever dared to point at my nose and ask if I'm a demon in front of me. This is quite novel."
"Since you're not a demon, why are you stopping us?" His beard twitched slightly, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"True," he smiled slightly, removing his aura of violence. He stepped aside. "Then I'll be kind enough to let you go in and see if the person inside is a demon."
"..." He was instantly stunned on the spot, not knowing whether to go in or back out.
After he said that, they were actually afraid to go in, in case there was a trap inside.
A young disciple from behind walked up to the leading man. "Master, I'll go in."
Yang Xue watched this self - volunteered young disciple with great interest. She thought he was quite good - looking, a young hunk. His lips were very nice, so tender.
"Fine." The middle - aged man looked ugly. His former imposing manner was long gone. If he hadn't rushed up here, he would have long since thought of leaving with his disciples.
Although he himself didn't understand why this thought suddenly popped up.
If the man in front of him was really a demon, I'm afraid even all of them combined would hardly be able to withstand a single move from him.
If he wasn't a demon, then he must be a powerful immortal. But there was too much violence in his aura. Could he be from the demon race?
Anyway, he suddenly felt that he was being used as a pawn. The demon they were supposed to catch this time was probably not simple.
Previously, they had detected a very strong demonic aura, but when they rushed in, there was not a trace of it. This made the group of demon - catchers extremely panicked.
The black leopard, Xuan You, watched coldly as the young disciple stepped into the room. He propped his elbow with one hand and tapped rhythmically, as if waiting for something.
"Yo, where did this young man come from? He's so handsome. Just to my liking." Yuebai's voice came out faintly from inside.
In an instant, the young disciple backed out, his face as red as if it were bleeding. His chin was lifted by Yuebai.
"Presumptuous!" Seeing his proud senior disciple being so molested, the master was so angry that his beard twitched. "Jiang Mei, come here!"
"Yes!" Jiang Mei blushed and stood behind his master. His eyes were like they were burned. He wanted to look but was afraid to look at Yuebai.
Yang Xue couldn't help but laugh. This young disciple was so funny. He didn't even have this much self - control and still dared to come out to catch demons.
Yuebai was, after all, a fox spirit, and one that had lived for thousands of years. Dealing with a pretty boy like this was a piece of cake.
"You say I'm a demon?" Yuebai smiled faintly and looked at Xuan You with great interest. "Do I look like one?"
"You do look a bit like one, but your temperament is too cold and aloof." Xuan You commented seriously.
Yang Xue suddenly felt a sourness in her teeth. These two were really showing off their affection, which was really an eyesore.
It seemed that Yuebai had so easily forgiven the black leopard. He was really lucky.
"This..." The group of demon - catchers took out their compasses and found that there was not a trace of demonic aura here. They looked at each other in dismay and kept rubbing their eyes to confirm if they were hallucinating.
"Since there's no demon, get out of here with me!" Hua'er, who had been pushed aside before, got angry. She waved her hand, and all the waiters and chefs downstairs rushed up.
"It's all a misunderstanding. Please forgive us." The leading man still looked ugly. He frowned and apologized. "Sorry, we were a bit reckless in the heat of the moment. Please forgive us."
"You old coot. Did you come in here to show off your power just because the girls in our shop are good - looking?" Boss Hua'er frowned and scolded. "You should stay at home. You're just leading a group of young people out to make a fool of themselves. It's a pity for such a good - looking young man to follow you and learn nothing."
"You..." The leading master wanted to retort but didn't know where to start. He could only admit his bad luck.
"Auntie, you've misunderstood. Master is a proper demon - catcher. We also belong to a proper sect. We're not deceiving you." The young man named Jiang Mei bowed his hands. "Presumably the demon has a high cultivation level and has hidden its demonic aura. Our actions just now were disrespectful. These silver coins are for our apology."
Hua'er thought he was quite polite. She reached out and took the money bag from his hand, waving her hand impatiently. "Fine. Keep your eyes open in the future. You can go."
Yang Xue snickered. Hua'er was really cute. She was really money - hungry.
With permission, the group turned around and walked out one after another, wishing they could disappear quickly.
"Miss..." Jiang Mei suddenly stopped in front of Yang Xue, showing a very tangled expression. "Are you also a demon - catcher?"
"Hmm?" Yang Xue was confused. What did he mean by this?
"There's a faint golden light on you. Are you a cultivator?" Jiang Mei was gifted. Although his master was not very capable, he had been able to see things that others couldn't since he was a child.
"Yes, I've been cultivating for many years." She casually made up a lie. "So there really isn't a demon here. You'd better go and look elsewhere."
"Recently, there have been many demons in the Daughter Country. Miss, please be careful." Seeing a fellow cultivator, Jiang Mei smiled slightly. "Master said there's a White Bone Demon, a female demon with a high cultivation level. She has been hiding in the human world for many days and only harms people's lives. As a cultivator, you must be her target. Never travel alone."
The black leopard, Xuan You, hooked his lips and smiled. "Don't worry. A mere White Bone Demon is nothing. When she meets cultivators like us, she won't end up well."
