Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 17 - Xiatou Woman!
Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Xiatou Woman!
Leng Yimeng walked on the street, continuously pondering one question.
What would happen if she encountered the Demon involved in this murder?
The most obvious outcome would be getting killed; she definitely was no match for this Demon.
Currently, she was in the Upper Realm of Qi Sea Realm, having cultivated a pure and refined True Qi, considered "astonishingly talented" among her peers.
Yet, the Tributor from the County Magistrate Mansion who had died was also in the Qi Sea Realm.
Martial Artists of the Qi Sea Realm had True Qi that protected their bodies, ordinary hidden weapons could hardly break through their flesh, yet that Tributor had been riddled with holes.
The technique used was even the extremely difficult to master sword finger.
This at the very least was from the Tongyou Realm above the Qi Sea, and decidedly not the Initial Realm.
Joined by her sister, she could barely reach the standard of the Initial Tongyou Realm.
This meant even if she joined forces with her sister, they wouldn't stand a chance against the opponent.
Besides being killed, the only other possibility was being captured and then tortured.
The reason this Demon kills, and the fact that he seriously audited the accounts before killing the County Magistrate, had a sense of seeming propriety but actually being absurdly deranged.
Such a person could do anything, and histories of miserably ended Goddess Catchers in the Qingqi Bureau had encountered just these kinds of "reasonable" Demons.
In the Martial World, there are many stronger Evil Demons than Leng Yimeng; what's frightening is those who are both strong and deranged.
As a Goddess Catcher, being captured by such a Demon and toyed with and tormented—it's really hard to imagine...
Especially when this Demon's fingers were highly deadly.
Thinking of this, Leng Yimeng felt the skies of this small city darken a lot.
She was scared, yet the responsibility as a Goddess Catcher forced her to complete the process.
Leng Yimeng walked on the street, not as bold and proactive as she had been when investigating earlier.
She once, irritated by a murderer's methods, went five days and nights without sleep, thoroughly searching a city of over ten thousand, and eventually found the murderer's accomplishments in a dark gutter.
But this time, she just intended to go through the process quickly and leave.
When she saw that busty Goddess Catcher, Duan Yun was compounding medicine.
The supplement was for Young Madam Zhao.
He now likely had the capability to imprison this Goddess Catcher, but he still felt worried.
What if, after imprisonment, this stubborn Goddess Catcher wouldn't be convinced by his reasoning?
He surely couldn't kill this epitome of justice, right?
After all, Duan Yun was fundamentally a gynecologist with a Medical Practitioner's Compassionate Heart, and he wouldn't kill without reason, especially not this sort of rare good person.
Afterward, providing her with food and accommodation would inevitably be troublesome.
Duan Yun couldn't help but put down the pestle he used for pounding medicine and started observing the activities outside.
The posture of this Goddess Catcher suggested she was patrolling and investigating, not that she was here specifically for him.
However, Duan Yun had also prepared to imprison her at any moment since the cellar had been repaired just last night.
Last time he observed her, this busty Goddess Catcher was wearing the usual style of tough clothes, but this time, she was donned in what looked strikingly like the uniform of the Flying Fish Robe.
Duan Yun quite liked that uniform, having rapidly mastered the "Embrace Sparrow Tail" inspired by that snug, professional uniform.
The uniform, combined with the Goddess Catcher's tall ponytail, made her look strikingly dashing.
Of course, it also made her chest look even bigger.
Duan Yun sat at the door, quietly observing her.
He couldn't help but become more curious about the outside world.
The craftmanship of just the clothing on this Goddess Catcher was far superior to anything he had seen before.
One couldn't find such quality of clothing in neither Lishui City nor the Qingcha Market.
What was the outside world really like?
At this moment, a purple-clothed constable beside Leng Yimeng said, "Chief, the one sitting at the door of the pharmacy, is a gynecologist."
The murderer had impersonated a doctor twice to commit murders, which was worth their attention.
Leng Yimeng glanced at Duan Yun at the doorway and straightforwardly denied, "It's not him."
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
"Why?" asked the purple-clothed subordinate.
"He dares to blatantly stare at my chest, his conscience must be clear," Leng Yimeng provided her rationale.
"I see."
The purple-clothed constable found it quite reasonable and hurriedly noted it down.
Men who dare to openly stare at their leader's chest are generally not the murderer.
At this moment, Leng Yimeng, however, stopped in her tracks and looked back.
It was because she just realized she had seen this gynecologist before.
Duan Yun also gave her a gentle smile.
"You go ahead, I'll ask about the situation."
After instructing, Leng Yimeng walked straight towards Duan Yun.
"So it's you." Leng Yimeng said.
Duan Yun responded: "Divine Catcher, it's me."
He had confirmed from the gap in the other's garment that this was the Xiatou sister.
"Is this your pharmacy?" Leng Yimeng asked doubtfully.
Duan Yun said: "It was passed down from my father."
"So you're a doctor, no wonder you said back then that my sister's temper is fiercer than mine," Leng Yimeng said coldly.
Duan Yun took the initiative: "Divine Catcher, are you here to investigate the County Magistrate's case?"
Leng Yimeng nodded: "Yes."
Duan Yun then said, "I heard from the neighbors that the murderer is quite formidable."
"It's not just formidable."
"How does it compare to the Red Building Fairy I encountered that day?"
"The Red Building Fairy is not even worth mentioning."
"Isn't that very dangerous?"
"That is naturally so."
Compared to her sister Leng Yixue, Leng Yimeng is actually somewhat talkative, otherwise she wouldn't have shared so much knowledge of the Martial World with Duan Yun that night.
These past few days, the thought that the Demon might still be around made Leng Yimeng feel immense pressure.
Thus, she really wanted to talk to someone to relieve some of that stress.
But her sister was not around, and there were many things she couldn't speak to her subordinates about; however, this young doctor before her seemed like a good candidate.
Because the man in front of her was pleasing to look at, which could make her feel joyful, and also because they were acquaintances, yet not from the same world.
Just like she had initially told him - "You don't have to ask my name, even if you did, I wouldn't tell you, it would only lead you to vain imaginations. Although you look fine, you are not a match for me, my family wouldn't agree, and I wouldn't like you."
People from different worlds, thus speaking her mind came with fewer concerns.
"This murderer is very sinister, not just a common evil demon, but a truly extreme Demon," Leng Yimeng confided.
Duan Yun questioned: "Is it really that extreme? It feels quite ordinary compared to the Red Building Fairy."
Damn, I'm acting as an avenger in the name of justice, and I'm labeled a demon by this Xiatou woman.
He was tempted to poke her over with one finger, then lock her in a cellar for a good talking-to, or rather, to rationally discuss things.
Leng Yimeng sighed: "You don't understand demons, nor the terror of such Demons."
Should I tell you that the broken prototypes of Goddess Catchers in those banned books came from encounters with these kinds of Demons?
"Alright, I've got things to do, don't tell anyone what we talked about today," Leng Yimeng reminded.
"Okay."
"Also, your name is Duan Yun."
"Yes."
"But I still won't tell you my name, same reason, gynecologist."
Afterward, Leng Yimeng left.
Duan Yun watched the retreating figure of this busty Goddess Catcher, feeling this woman was becoming more and more Xiatou.
Who the hell is interested in your name.
Also, my act of eliminating unreasonable fees, if not a heroic deed of punishing the wicked and supporting justice, couldn't possibly qualify as demonic, right?
For a moment, Duan Yun had the urge to abduct her for a debate.
But he held back.
His misunderstanding came from not doing enough heroic deeds, not grand enough. Once his undertaking of "Medical Practitioner's Compassionate Heart, spreading martial arts across the world" was accomplished and renowned, everything would change.
Then, this Xiatou woman hearing of my name in the future would surely feel ashamed of today's misunderstanding.
Yes, he Duan Yun, would neither change his name nor his dignity, determined to be a cleansing force in this murderous and adulterous world!
At that moment, Duan Yun's desire to "purge the filth of the human world, spread martial arts globally" became even clearer.
