Chapter 344: Strange Monster

So the alchemist of Xu State was chasing... a demon.

And this is exactly the kind of demon that the Privy Council fears the most - powerful, and not afraid of the human world, relying on their extraordinary talents, swaggering in the city.

This kind of demon is much more threatening than those wild demons living in seclusion in the mountains.

Once discovered, the Privy Council will definitely take action to eliminate it!

It was just that they chased all the way from Xu State to Qi State, and they had never heard the Privy Council there report this matter before, which made Yan Qing feel a little strange.

But now is not the time to delve into such things.

Because the other party showed obvious hostility.

This demon is very different from Li - from the two alchemists lying on the ground, it can be seen that the other party is not afraid of killing people at all, and almost can't feel compassion. She suspected that as long as she said a word, the other party would immediately take action.

And as an alchemist, she also has the obligation to eliminate demons for the people and protect the peace of the world!

"Say - are you here to catch me too?"

The demon asked again.

"I don't know these two people." Yan Qing has already raised the energy injected into the "spider web" to the peak. The weapon is not good, so she can only make up for it by herself. "What they are going to do has nothing to do with me, but I am also--"

"That's good." The vertical pupils blinked quickly, "Otherwise I can only kill you."

The pressure in the dark alley receded like a tide, which surprised Yan Qing greatly. Why does it sound like this monster has its own principles? He actually asked for reasons before taking action.

"So the reason you killed them is just because they want to catch you?"

"What else?" The monster sneered, "Do I have to consider the difference between humans and monsters when the other party threatens my life, and be tolerant and restrain myself everywhere?"

The other party did not shy away from his identity as a monster, Yan Qing realized, and not only that, when this monster talked about the difference in identity, there was even a proud momentum in it, as if he was proud of his origin.

This is the first time she has encountered a monster with such an attitude.

At this moment, a gap appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and the faint moonlight sprinkled from the top of the head, just illuminating the corner of this deep alley.

The darkness shrank to the sides, revealing Yan Qing's figure.

At the same time, she also saw the other party's true face.

It must be said that the appearance of the monster was completely beyond her expectations - the owner of the vertical pupil was a woman, and the cold voice was consistent with it. What was really surprising was that she did not have a bloody mouth and her appearance was not very ferocious. The previous sense of oppression made Yan Qing have the illusion of facing a wild beast. Even if it turned into a human form, it should be sturdy and strong, like a small mountain. But in fact, the other party was less than four feet and five inches tall, and the young face showed only fifteen or sixteen years old, a whole circle smaller than Li.

What was even more incredible was that the demon was not standing to talk to her, but sitting on a chair leisurely, with one leg raised, the body slightly tilted, and one hand supporting the cheek - although the height was limited, she sat with a sense of majesty overlooking all living beings.

Of course, this chair was obviously not brought by her.

Yan Qing noticed that there were four men standing beside the demon. Their identities were unknown, but from their postures and status, they were in a master-servant relationship with the woman. The clothes of these four people were also quite distinctive. They were uniform plain robes with yin and yang embroidered on the hem, cloud shadows and golden snakes embroidered on the sleeves, and they all wore a delicate lotus crown on their heads, and a jade-inlaid gold hairpin on the crown.

This demon... actually has such a rich family background?

Yan Qing quickly recalled that not only was there no family in Qi State dressed like this, but it was also very different from the customs of Xu State.

"You don't look like you're from Xu."

"Indeed not."

"Then where are you from?"

"What's the point of knowing the answer to this question?" Yao showed a half-smile, "If I was born in Qi, would you treat me as a Qi citizen?"

"I can at least infer the purpose of your coming here." Yan Qing said in a serious tone.

Yao paused for a moment, as if examining her, "So that's how it is, you are stronger than these two trackers, and your confidence in your strength makes you regard yourself as a judge. As long as you are not human, you must pass your judgment." At this point, she sighed softly, "Humans... When did you become so shallow and full of prejudice?"

Yan Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

"Master Chi, please don't lose heart, there must be wise people in this world who can understand you."

The four people finally couldn't help but speak.

"You should stop now!" These words were undoubtedly directed at Qing Jian. "If the fire from the top of the city had not fallen and burned the houses, Lord Chi would not have exposed himself. If you help, you will be hunted down. Is this what the Taoist priests call protecting a party?"

"If you still insist on being stubborn, we will not show mercy - unlike Lord Chi, we are human, just go ahead and do it!"

Exposed for putting out a fire?

Monsters are respected and protected by people?

Just a few words, Yan Qing's thoughts were briefly confused. Li has now integrated into the human world, but that is entirely because of Xia Fan, an alien. If he had not actively expressed his willingness at the beginning, Li would never have been able to stay in the world so smoothly. To be honest, when listening to Li's story about his experience with Xia Fan, Yan Qing always had a hunch that this kid had other intentions, so she left the magic necklace and was ready to take Li away from disputes at any time.

"I can't confirm whether what you said is true... but I don't rule out the possibility that it does exist. In addition, I also have a friend who is a monster..." She chose her words carefully, "If it is not necessary, I will not take the initiative to attack monsters."

"Friend of monster?" The monster with vertical pupils seemed to be interested. She put down the raised foot and turned her body back to say, "Where is this monster? How did you meet? Judging from your strength, you should belong to the Privy Council. Does the Privy Council of Qi have different views on monsters?"

"It's a long story, but this is just my personal reason, and it has nothing to do with the Privy Council - I Now I am no longer a Taoist priest in the Privy Council. "

"Can't they even keep someone like you?" The other party chuckled, "Well, for the sake of the other demon, I will tell you where I come from and where I am going."

"I'm listening."

She returned to her reclining position, looking relaxed, but giving people a sense of majesty without anger, "I come from Penglai Island, west of Maoguo. I have been traveling around the countries for five years, and Qiguo is the last stop. As for the current destination, it is naturally the capital of Shenzhou-Jinxia City."

"..." Yan Qing twitched her mouth. Is it really such a coincidence?

"Since you know where I came from and where I am going, can you deduce my purpose now?" The other party seemed to be provocative.

Qing Jian waited in silence. The demon's every move was like a mist, making it hard to understand.

"I knew you couldn't guess." She showed a smile that she had expected, "I'll tell you all at once. I left Penglai Island for only one purpose-to find a suitable husband for myself. "
