Washing Away Your Conceit Chapter 7

Yayoi Abe felt the movement, rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up, yawning.

"What's wrong, Shimizu...ah! It's that hateful demon fox!" After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Nolan Abe immediately beat her chest and gnashed her teeth.

It's this hateful demon fox! It made him lose face in the crowd!

Chloe Chi grabbed her neck and picked up the little demon fox, "She came to steal the Biluo fruit."

Nolan Abe raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to strike the divine seal, "Qingshui, put her down and let me end this hateful little demon!"

Feeling the spiritual power surging in his hand, the little demon fox's eyes were full of panic, but he was restrained by Chloe Chi and could not even tremble.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Chloe Chi stopped Nolan Abe, who looked at her in confusion.

Chloe Chi pointed at the little demon fox, looked at her clear golden eyes and said, "It's called Lingzi, right?"

Suzuko's eyes showed confusion, how did this human miko know her name?

Chloe Chi smiled, "What's the relationship between that masked demon fox and you, huh?" As she spoke, she untied part of the other party's restraints, allowing the demon fox to make sounds.

Suzuko immediately shouted angrily, "Unforgivable miko! If you dare to attack Suzuko, my brother will never let you go! Our demon fox clan lives in this mountain, and you and this idiot Milton are both Don't try to escape!"

Chloe Chi raised her eyebrows and raised her hand to silence her voice.

"Is it the male demon fox that night? Did we actually walk into each other's territory?" Hearing this, Nolan Abe looked around cautiously.

At this point, it is not easy to attack this monster cub, otherwise the anger of the monster group may kill them.

Chloe Chi rubbed her temples with a headache, "It seems this place is not safe. Should we travel all night?"

It would be fine if they were just passing by, but why would they both have a problem with the demon fox?

"This is the only way to go." Yayoi Abe nodded and began to pack the package solemnly.

Chloe Chi looked at the little demon fox being held by the back of her neck with an inexplicable expression, and her heart was complicated.

This little demon fox has nothing on her body, and she doesn't know what her most important thing is. If you want to collect information, the easiest way is to kill it.

Considering her current situation, it is natural for a witch to eliminate demons.

In terms of her past, she felt a heavy sense of guilt for attacking this little demon who looked little different from a human girl.

Finally, she sighed, bound Suzu with spiritual power, and then hung her on the branch like hanging clothes.

Reaching out and pinching her furry fox tail, Chloe Chi looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Stealing is a very bad behavior. I will punish you a little this time."

The power of Yanling can only last for about three hours. Once the time is up, the demon fox will regain its freedom.

Then Nolan Abe put a talisman on her body. As long as Suzuko was rescued in advance, he would know the news immediately.

Under Suzuko's angry gaze, Chloe Chi and Nolan Abe left the place with their packages on their backs.

"Every monster group can recognize each other's scent. If the little demon fox is rescued, the other party may follow our scent and chase us."

Chloe Chi nodded. Different from the last time, she was now in a deep forest where monsters were everywhere. Even if the masked demon fox is not as strong as them, they will still have the upper hand in a fight here.

It was pitch dark in the dense forest, and only the blurry figure of the other party could be seen clearly under the moonlight. Chloe Chi used the power of the forest in her body to attract the surrounding wood charms to illuminate her whole body, so that she would not step on nothing.

The two of them walked slowly and slowly for more than an hour. Nolan Abe suddenly stopped and looked around cautiously.

"I feel the evil spirit."

Chloe Chi also took out her bow and arrow and took precautions. In the night wind, she smelled a faint smell of blood.

"Oh~? Has another prey come to your door?" In the darkness, a magnetic voice sounded, and the tone of the word "oh" made Chloe Chi get goosebumps all over her body.

In the darkness in the distance, something seemed to break through the night wind and hit them.

Nolan Abe reacted quickly and took her hand to dodge, but the two of them were caught off guard by something under their feet.

"The... remains of a monster?" Yayoi Abe stared at the thing that just attacked them, with a look of surprise on his face.

It was a huge skeleton, with no trace of flesh or fur left, and it was impossible to see what its original shape was.

Chloe Chi stood on her knees and tentatively raised her feet. She immediately felt the wire-like restraint tightening around her ankles.

"Thread...? No, it's hair!"

Using the fluorescent light emitted by Mu Mei, Chloe Chi's fingertips picked up a strand of thread that bound her and examined it carefully. The thread was as black as ink, soft and flexible, and they were just strands of hair.

"Hmm~ A very smart human miko~" The greasy tone sounded again.

"How about it? Isn't my hair beautiful? It's smoother than silk, smoother than porcelain, and so black that it looks like it will be stained with ink every time you touch it!"

"Ah...even I can't help but be intoxicated by my own beauty. It's so beautiful!"

"Human...tell me, am I beautiful? Huh~?"

Chloe Chi: ...

Hearing this familiar line, she might know what kind of monster the other party is.

"What the hell! It's so disgusting!" Yayoi Abe couldn't help but growl and looked into the darkness with disgust.

As soon as the words fell, even the night wind stopped, and the air froze for a moment.

"Human, are you talking about me? There are some things you can't say casually..." The voice was slightly annoyed and a bit... coquettish?

Under the moonlight, a tall and slender man with long hair appeared in front of them.

His skin was as white as snow, and his black hair was as black as ink. He was as beautiful as if he had stepped out of a painting.

If...his beautiful long hair hadn't swung around trying to wrap around her feet...

"Ding", the sweeper No. 1689 discovered the monster, the food-haired ghost.

The male monster walked out slowly with lotus steps, holding a pipe in his hand, taking a breath and puffing out the smoke, and a white mist suddenly filled the two of them.

Nolan Abe looked stern, and his men quickly made a divine seal to establish a barrier to isolate the white mist.

"Be careful, this smoke can cause hallucinations."

"That's right, it looks like there's something for it... just in time, swallowing the spiritual power of the miko and Milton can make me more beautiful." The hair-eating ghost smiled softly, like a lotus blooming in the night.

Nolan Abe approached Chloe Chi and whispered in her ear, "There are some troublesome monsters, but we won't necessarily lose if we join forces. Wait a moment and I will release the mobile barrier to cover you, and you attack him with the magic-breaking arrow."

Chloe Chi nodded, alert, and secretly took out the arrows in the system package.

Nolan Abe wanted to remind her something, but suddenly she frowned and lowered her voice and said, "It's not good. The little demon fox has been rescued. I can feel the demonic power on the charm approaching us quickly."

Chloe Chi looked stern. If he couldn't make a quick decision, he might be attacked from both sides.

"The Milton who doesn't understand amorous feelings..." The hair-eating ghost seemed to be admiring their nervous expressions.

He flipped up his black hair and gave Chloe Chi a flirtatious look, "The human witch is not bad looking, but unfortunately she is still far from being able to compare with me!"

"Let me, who is so beautiful, ask you a question. Tell me, am I the most beautiful monster in the world, eh?"

"I just finished eating, and now I can only eat one more person... If your answer satisfies me, I may let you go~" the hair-eating ghost said in a naughty tone.

Recalling the biography of the Hair-Eating Ghost in his mind, Chloe Chi's heart moved. He raised his head and said calmly: "Your Excellency... is not the most beautiful monster I have ever seen."

Hearing this, the hair-eating ghost's expression froze, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he teased with a dangerous aura: "Oh? Then tell me, who else is more beautiful than me?"

Nolan Abe felt nervous, wondering why Chloe Chi wanted to anger the hair-eating ghost, but he did not interrupt her.

Chloe Chi smiled slightly and pointed to the demon fox standing quietly on a branch in the distance, putting on its mask again, "That's him."

The hair-eating ghost also felt the approach of another demonic energy. At this moment, he turned around and saw the masked face of the demon fox, and suddenly said solemnly: "He?"

"Hmph...how does an ugly guy with a mask compare to my beauty?"

"Not necessarily. I have seen the face under that mask, and it is even more beautiful than you." Chloe Chi calmly added fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, the hair-eating ghost's face looked even more ugly, with a hint of distortion.

The demon fox held up the fan and beat the fan bones in his hand. A gentle and coquettish voice sounded, seemingly with a bit of joy: "Oh? Master Qingshui, do you like Xiaosheng's appearance?"

Seeing that he was ignored, the hair-eating ghost suddenly became angry. He snorted and said strangely: "You are too arrogant."

"If that's the case, then I'll simply eat you all. In this way, I will become more beautiful...I will never allow any creature more beautiful than me to exist!"

This demon fox will definitely become the nourishment for his beauty!

Seeing that the food-haired ghost was hostile to the demon fox, Chloe Chi succeeded and felt relieved.

However, the demon fox looked at Chloe Chi calmly and whispered softly: "This can't be done. Mr. Qingshui is a puppet that Xiaosheng wants to collect. How can he be eaten by the monster casually?"

Taking advantage of the confrontation between the two monsters, Chloe Chi quietly whispered a few words into Nolan Abe's ear. Nolan Abe was stunned, and then nodded quickly and clearly.

He immediately removed the barrier, glared at the demon fox on the tree, and hit him with an attack seal, "I won't let you hurt Qing Shui!"

The demon fox pursed its thin lips, and subconsciously raised its hand to wave the wind blade to block Nolan Abe's attack. Unexpectedly, the divine seal suddenly disappeared in mid-air, and the extremely sharp wind blade immediately headed towards Chloe Chi... The foot went down.

The wind passes by without leaving a breath or trace.

Chloe Chi raised her feet that were finally able to move freely, and said to the demon fox with narrow eyes, "Thank you for your help."

Seeing that the hair he cherished the most was cut off like this, the hair-eating ghost suddenly became furious and lost his mind.

Under the noisy night wind, his seemingly endless black hair danced in the strong wind, almost blending into the dark night sky. The strands of hair launched a crazy attack on the demon fox without hesitation.

"Damn fox...! I want you to pay the price!"

Under the mask, the demon fox had a stern look on his face, and he instantly dodged the attack from the Kaishi-haired ghost. Then more hair strands came from other directions.

While dodging, the demon fox already understood Chloe Chi's intention and turned to look at her steadily.

Seeing the two monsters fighting fiercely, Chloe Chi took the opportunity to pull Yayoi Abe out of the fighting situation quickly. Before leaving, she turned back and looked at the monster fox and smiled, her lips moving slightly.

"Thank you."

After reading her lips, the demon fox's eyes flickered.
