Everyone looked over and saw what the man with the face mask spat out. It was a two-inch-long object, green in color, resembling a ginseng root or a tiny person with a head, body, face, arms, and legs. Even upon a closer look, its facial features appeared extremely greedy.
“Ah!!!! It is indeed a monster! It really is a demon! What is that? What kind of demon is that?” A waiter in the restaurant dropped the tray he was holding to the floor and screamed in horror.
The ‘green little figure,’ with a look of deep resentment, glared at Huang Xiaolong and then turned to flee.
Huang Xiaolong was already prepared with a magical talisman, which he threw out effortlessly. The talisman wrapped around the ‘green little figure,’ and Huang Xiaolong casually snatched it through the air, grasping it in his hand.
“Xiaohong, Qingqing, let’s go,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile, and then instructed Xiaohong, “Use hypnotism to erase their memories of this restaurant.”
“Yes, Young Master,” Xiaohong said sweetly, and began to hypnotize the people in the restaurant.
…
Half an hour later.
Hotel.
Inside a suite.

Huang Xiaolong put the ‘green little figure’ on the coffee table.
Under the constraint of the talisman’s power, the green little figure couldn’t break free and pleaded with a mournful expression on its face. “Please spare me, great one, please spare my life…”
The voice was like that of an infant.
“Huh~~ this guy’s demonic aura is so faint, you really wouldn’t notice it if you weren’t paying attention,” Qingqing observed with interest as she examined the ‘green little figure’.
“This is called a ‘mythical creature,’ a small demon that lives in the human throat. In most cases, it doesn’t harm human life, but makes people become ‘mythical creatures’ too, endlessly repeating what others say. You can say it’s a particularly annoying little demon. Moreover, when it grows in someone’s throat, it’s basically very hard to sense its demonic aura,” Huang Xiaolong explained. “In ‘Stories of Dynasty,’ ‘Good Tales of Sui and Tang Dynasty,’ ‘Yijian Zhi,’ ‘Compendium of Materia Medica,’ and other such books, there is mention of this small demon…”
He paused and then asked the mythical creature, “How many years have you been in Liu City?”
“Boss! Great one! I am only over two hundred years old… I have never harmed a human life… Spare me, spare me, please…” the mythical creature pleaded with a sorrowful face.
“So, you’re saying you’ve been in Liu City for more than two hundred years?” Huang Xiaolong frowned slightly. “In this Liu City, are there any great demons or monks or Taoists with high mana?”
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s questions, Qingqing and Xiaohong suddenly realized—Huang Xiaolong wasn’t just treating that man sick with the mythical creature for nothing; he intended to use the creature to gather information! He was using this opportunity to pursue the ‘Huang’ creature!
“Uh… er… well…” the mythical creature stammered.
“Speak up! Or else I’ll eat you!” Xiaohong bared her teeth threateningly.
“Ah?! Two Madams!” The mythical creature shuddered with fear, recognizing that both of them were indeed mighty demons.
Of course, to a small demon like the mythical creature, any demon with a little bit of cultivation was considered a mighty one.
“Alright, alright, Boss, I’ll talk, I’ll talk, isn’t that enough?” the mythical creature finally caved in, confessing frankly. “Boss, I don’t really know much about demons… I’m timid and try not to attract attention… However, a few years ago, a Taoist came to Liu City… He had strong mana and lingered in the city for several years, seemingly looking for something… That’s all I truly know.”
“A Taoist?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes slightly lit up.
“Right, a very powerful Taoist,” the mythical creature said, believing it to be true.
“Where is this Taoist?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“That… that… I’m not really sure, but it seems he operated in a village on the outskirts of Liu City. That’s really all I know,” the mythical creature cried pitifully.
Xiaohong and Qingqing used a mix of threats and temptations to intimidate the mythical creature again, but they didn’t find out anything more. It seemed that was all it knew.
“Please let me go,” the mythical creature begged repeatedly.
However, Huang Xiaolong put it into a container for containing souls.
“Young Master, why are you putting this little guy away? You should either kill it, let Sister Qingqing eat it, or release it. What’s the point of locking it up?” Xiaohong wondered aloud.
“Oh, this thing is quite fun; whenever someone annoys me, I’ll use this Echo Insect to deal with them. Heh heh.” As he spoke, Huang Xiaolong looked at Qingqing and Xiaohong with ill intentions.
The two little demons shuddered.
“Alright, after dinner, I’m going to walk around the village in the city.” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
“Yes, yes, Young Master, we’ll accompany you,” Qingqing and Xiaohong said, their faces alight with excitement.
…
Liu City.
A villa district.
Inside a detached villa.
In the living room sat two people.
A man and a woman.
The man appeared to be in his forties, with three strands of long beard, exuding an air of a celestial being, his body permeating with powerful Taoist energy as if he were a deity among men!
The woman, with her exceptional demeanor, was a noble lady; indeed, it was Fairy Huang who had fled Rong City in a hurry!
At that moment, the man spoke with respect and a smile, “This time, we will have to rely heavily on Fairy Huang.”
It turns out, the man already knew Fairy Huang’s true identity! But far from avoiding her, he made every effort to ingratiate himself.
Of course, with a big demon like Fairy Huang, who had cultivated for thousands of years and possessed a trump card, the ‘Samadhi Divine Wind’, the Taoist had to curry favor with her.
“Giggle~~~ Taoist Xia, there’s no need to be so polite.” A hint of fierce resentment flashed in Fairy Huang’s eyes, “Speaking of which, I should thank Taoist Xia. If it weren’t for you discovering the imprint that person left within my aura and erasing it for me, I would have had an inevitable clash with that person.”
As she spoke, a shiver of terror also crossed Fairy Huang’s heart, trembling inwardly. ‘That guy, I wonder if he has pursued me to Liu City.’
Taoist Xia stroked his beard and laughed, “Fairy Huang, may I ask, who was it that left this mark on you? So reckless and audacious! But judging from the Taoist energy contained in this mark, although the person is strong, their strength has its limits. At Fairy Huang’s word of command, I, Xia, will surely help you eliminate this person!”
A look of disdain appeared in Fairy Huang’s eyes. ‘You want to contend with that person? You really don’t know how the word ‘death’ is written! Even I had to flee in panic without the power to fight back; you count for nothing! Even if your master, Heavenly Master Zhang came over, I’m afraid he would also face embarrassment.’
Fairy Huang did not tell Taoist Xia that she had been humiliated by Huang Xiaolong; after all, it was too shameful to speak of such things.
As a great demon who had been cultivating for thousands of years, she could not afford to lose face.
Fairy Huang changed the subject, “Taoist Xia, I will help you with your matter as soon as I can. Now, I already have some clues.”
“I thank Fairy Huang greatly.” Taoist Xia stood up and bowed respectfully to Fairy Huang. Then, a fire of hatred and resentment flashed in his eyes. “This demon, thirty years ago, brought disaster to my whole family! I was fortunate to escape with my life! Afterwards, as I learned the Tao with my master and achieved some success, I sought revenge on that demon as soon as I gained my master’s permission. I’m almost certain this demon is hiding in Liu City! But despite searching for years, there wasn’t a single clue! This demon has hidden itself too well!”
“Taoist Xia is Heavenly Master Zhang’s favored disciple; I have to give Heavenly Master Zhang some face, don’t I?” Fairy Huang giggled seductively. “Moreover, I have come to Liu City this time to subdue some demons here. That demon you’re talking about, I’ve already sensed its aura! Hmph! It can’t hide from me! Rest assured, I’ve sent some of my juniors to scout around. As soon as we have solid information, I will personally accompany you!”
“Yes! Thank you, Fairy Huang! That demon has committed heinous crimes! Now, it’s time for blood to pay for blood!” Bloodlust gleamed in Taoist Xia’s eyes. “With Fairy Huang helping me, it won’t be able to escape even if it grew wings!”
After a pause, Taoist Xia ingratiated himself with Fairy Huang. “Fairy Huang, I have cultivated some influence in Liu City over many years. If there’s anything you need, just say the word.”
Fairy Huang nodded with a smile. “Not bad, a disciple of Heavenly Master Zhang, indeed unconventional. Good, let’s cooperate well this time.”
…
Night.
After dinner, Huang Xiaolong took Qingqing and Xiaohong to the village in the city on the outskirts of Liu City.
