The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1160: Wuxin Chaliu!

Zhinai was a Mystical Side practitioner born into a small clan in the Kinki region.

Compared to the prestigious families in the ’Inside World,’ Zhinai’s family, including herself, consisted of only her mother and sister as true ’Inside World’ members.

Her father and older brother?

They tried their best, but after being injured, their potential was gone, and at most, they could only be considered half a combatant.

For this, Zhinai felt a heavy guilt.

Because it was to save her that her father and brother used the family secret technique, losing their qualifications as ’Inside World’ members.

Thus, when she learned about the massive explosion at the Hanakaiin Family’s main estate, Zhinai didn’t hesitate to head straight there.

She needed to find the Secret Medicine!

Or, any item that could restore her father and brother!

Unlike her small clan...

One of the four great Onmyoji families, the Hanakaiin Family, had resources that were utterly unimaginable.

Even finding just a tiny bit would be enough!

With these thoughts in mind, Zhinai quickened her pace.

"Zhinai, slow down!"

"I can’t keep up!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

A young man behind her, slightly out of breath, called out.

Ah Guang, Zhinai’s good friend.

This round-faced youth was also from a small clan in the Kinki region.

However, unlike Zhinai’s family, where nearly everyone was an ’Inside World’ member,

Ah Guang’s family had only him.

His parents and grandparents were aware of the ’Inside World,’ but they lacked the talent. They couldn’t even walk the path of a combatant or swordsman, let alone master the family secret technique.

Ah Guang, on the other hand, had decent talent.

By the time he graduated high school, he had fully mastered his family’s secret technique and could apply it skillfully.

And after that?

Ah Guang was introduced to Zhinai’s family and teamed up with her to take on ’Inside World’ tasks, honing himself and improving his strength.

"Maybe you should eat less fried chicken. At this rate, you’ll be wearing XXXXXL!"

Zhinai turned her head and, looking at her panting friend, couldn’t help but tease him.

There was no malice, just the playful banter between friends.

Ah Guang was the same way.

"No worries, no worries."

"The fabric you save for the country goes straight to me."

Ah Guang grinned and pulled a bottle of sugary soda from his backpack.

Gulp, gulp.

Ahhh!

Burp!

After a satisfied belch, Ah Guang took out a bag of chips and waved it at his friend.

"Be careful."

"We’re already near the Hanakaiin Family’s territory."

Zhinai reminded him.

"It’s fine."

"Even if demons show up, there’ll be big shots to take care of them."

"People like us?"

"We’re not even worth a fart."

Ah Guang said as he grabbed a handful of chips and stuffed them into his mouth.

He perfectly embodied the saying: A broad mind leads to a round body.

"I’m not worried about demons."

"I’m worried about... people!"

Zhinai’s gaze scanned the surroundings. She took a deep breath and spoke softly.

The girl’s hand subtly gestured toward a nearby bush.

Zhinai wasn’t the only one eyeing the Secret Medicine in the Hanakaiin Family’s estate—others certainly had similar intentions.

Beyond the Secret Medicine, secret techniques, powerful items, and Shikigami were just as irresistibly tempting to most ’Inside World’ members.

Once word spread, people would flock here like carp crossing the river.

That was certain.

And with so many people, conflicts were inevitable.

Fights were almost guaranteed.

Zhinai had already prepared herself.

So had Ah Guang.

Crunch, crunch.

After licking his fingers to savor the leftover chip flavor, Ah Guang casually raised a palm towards the shadow in the bushes.

Whoosh!

An invisible stream of air began to converge in Ah Guang’s palm.

But just as the airflow was about to launch, a voice shouted—

"Wait!"

"We’re members of ’Section Zero’!"

Two men in uniforms stepped out.

One of them immediately produced a police badge.

Section Zero?

Ah Guang frowned and paused his attack.

Most ’Inside World’ members regarded Section Zero with cautious avoidance.

Not because of fear, but because they were trouble.

As a government-backed organization, even temporary gains could lead to massive headaches later on.

You never knew who they might send next time.

For that reason, ignoring Section Zero personnel was the standard practice for most ’Inside World’ members.

Especially for people like Ah Guang and Zhinai, who had families in the ’Inside World.’

They couldn’t afford to risk their loved ones’ safety.

So, after verifying the badge was real, Zhinai signaled Ah Guang to leave for now.

Just for now.

After all, the paths to the Hanakaiin Family’s estate weren’t limited to just one.

She and Ah Guang could always take a detour.

Ah Guang thought the same.

The two immediately turned around.

But the moment they turned, the two ’Section Zero’ members grinned menacingly and lunged at them.

Another successful hunt!

The name of ’Section Zero’ was truly useful!

As the two demons pounced, Ah Guang spun around, raising his lowered hand once more.

"Air Cannon!"

Boom! Boom!

With two thunderous blasts, the charging demons were pulverized.

"Hah, did they really take us for rookies?"

"We’re the famous ’Guang and Zhi Duo’ around here! Next time, if you’re going to disguise yourselves, at least hide your aura better!"

Ah Guang said, giving Zhinai a thumbs-up.

He hadn’t sensed anything amiss earlier.

But Zhinai had noticed something wrong.

In the moment they turned, she gave him a critical heads-up.

"Zhinai, your family’s secret technique is amazing!"

"It leaves these demons with nowhere to hide..."
