Liu Qing looked at Jiang Ming's back and her pupils suddenly constricted. "So strong killing intent!"
Just then, two men from the gambling house with lecherous expressions approached.
"Miss, what would you like to play? Dice or Pai Gow?"
Liu Qing frowned slightly. In an instant, a cold feeling climbed up the backs of the two men. It was as if they were being stared at by a poisonous snake. Their bodies froze on the spot.
After entering the casino, Liu Qing also ran around everywhere. This naturally attracted the attention of the casino again.
First Jiang Ming and then Liu Qing. Both of them had extraordinary auras. As long as the manager of the gambling house wasn't a fool, he couldn't fail to notice. He immediately reported to the owner, Luo Yuhua.
"Is that woman still in the gambling house?" Luo Yuhua asked.
"Yes."
"Take me there."
Then Luo Yuhua followed the manager into the gambling house. At a glance, he saw Liu Qing standing in front of a room.
"Miss, I wonder if you came to our Yinsheng Gambling House to look for someone?"
Although Luo Yuhua had a gloomy temperament, he had a good appearance. Coupled with his elegant speech, ordinary women might not fall in love at first sight, but they would at least have some good feelings.
Unfortunately, this woman in front of him was just like him. Neither of them was human.
Liu Qing nodded slightly and said, "A cousin from my clan came here a few days ago. I'm looking for him."
Although she didn't understand the ways of the world, she wasn't a fool either. The person in front of her seemed enthusiastic, but she could sense that this person, just like her, had cold blood.
The two asked each other a few more questions. Then they both felt that not a single word was true. Liu Qing said goodbye and left directly.
"Miss, take your time. Welcome to my place to play in your spare time. Luo is extremely honored."
Watching Liu Qing's figure disappear at the corner, Luo Yuhua returned to the yard and said coldly, "Ciya."
"Yes."
A sharp voice sounded. With a whoosh, a long and thin neck hung down from the beam. At the top was a head full of sharp teeth.
"Follow that woman. I smell a disgusting smell."
"Yes."
Not long after Liu Qing walked out of Yinsheng Gambling House, she immediately sensed that something was following her. Immediately, she calmly walked towards a secluded place.
And on a distant roof beam, Jiang Ming, who had originally left, was urged by Jerry to see what the Liu family and Yinsheng Gambling House were up to. So he saw the scene of Ciya following Liu Qing.
"This creepy thing again." Jiang Ming said, looking at the monster with the long neck.
Then he quietly followed with Jerry.
...
"Come out."
This was a mass grave. It was said to be a place where prisoners of war were massacred during the unification war of the Great Jin. Later, it became a mass grave where the nobles of the Eastern Capital disposed of their servants.
Being discovered didn't surprise Ciya. He walked out boldly.
"You're really not human! Hahaha, tell me, what are you doing at the gambling house?"
Looking at Ciya's terrifying appearance, a trace of disgust flashed in Liu Qing's eyes. "Lowly demon slaves of the Demon Kingdom."
For these demons that are neither like demons nor like humans, whether it's the Demon Kingdom or the Five Immortals, or even half-demons, they all look down on them. They think their blood is even more lowly than half-demons and can only be slaves.
Collectively known as demon slaves.
Hearing this, Ciya was immediately enraged. "Damn woman, I want you to be my demon slave!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Ciya's neck suddenly stretched out and took a bite at Liu Qing.
Puff puff puff——
While Liu Qing dodged, silver hairpins flew out of her sleeve one by one. In an instant, they pierced through Ciya's long neck. Blood gushed out.
Ciya roared and controlled his body and neck to continuously wrap around Liu Qing. And Liu Qing controlled several silver hairpins to attack freely like flying swords.
The Willow Immortals are good at controlling objects. They are born sword immortals. In terms of attack power, they are the first among the five immortal families.
Both being at the ninth rank, Liu Qing was completely crushing Ciya.
And Ciya also realized this. This woman didn't need to get close to kill him. Trying to deceive her was probably hopeless. Immediately, he had the intention to retreat.
"Want to run?"
Liu Qing waved her hand. In an instant, countless gravels flew into the air and condensed into a small mountain. It smashed down on Ciya with a bang.
Ciya just let out a scream and was crushed under it. Probably turned into minced meat.
After dealing with this demon slave, Liu Qing left without hesitation.
And after she left, a slight sound came from the pile of gravel. Then half a tattered human skin that was pitted and damaged slowly squeezed out from the gravel.
"This demon slave is actually transformed from half a piece of skin of a fifth-rank strong person!"
Suddenly a voice came from behind. The human skin was startled and quickly wanted to dart into the grass.
But Jiang Ming stepped on it. "Jerry, you said this guy is transformed from a person's skin?"
Jerry jumped onto Jiang Ming's shoulder and examined it carefully for a while. "Yes. It can freely stretch and transform and is invulnerable to swords and spears. It must be a strong person who has cultivated the copper skin stage among the fifth-rank."
"But it seems to be a damaged product. The remaining essence has long been consumed almost completely. Otherwise, ordinary means can't hurt it at all."
Jiang Ming also heard about this for the first time. Half a piece of skin of a fifth-rank strong person can turn into a ninth-rank demon. How powerful is this?
Seeing that his origin was exposed, Ciya hurriedly begged for mercy. Unfortunately, the cunning of this guy had long been seen by a person and a mouse. Jiang Ming immediately snorted angrily.
The two qi in the orifices!
Two white lights flew out. Ciya, who had already been exhausted by Liu Qing, had no strength to resist. He was directly scattered by the white light.
Jiang Ming picked up the half piece of skin. After all, it was from a fifth-rank strong person.
"Aren't your five immortal families allies? Why do you seem to be avoiding the Liu family?" Jiang Ming looked at Jerry with a half-smile.
"N-no. I ran out by myself. I don't want to act with them." Jerry's eyes were darting around, looking rebellious.
I won't believe you if I'm stupid!
But Jiang Ming didn't expose it. He just needed to gain the friendship of the five immortal families.
But the disappearance of Ciya made Luo Yuhua in Yinsheng Gambling House a bit in a difficult situation.
In just two months, his son disappeared. Ten corpse demons disappeared. Now even his demon slave didn't know where he died.
"That woman..."
He remembered the almost identical aura on Liu Qing. Could it be that some guys were here to cause trouble for him?
"Owner, there is uh——"
A manager suddenly walked in but was stunned. He saw small scales growing on the owner's face. A pair of green vertical pupils glinted with cold light.
"Demon, ah!"
...
Back at Taihe Tower, before Jiang Ming could rest, Chang Gui came looking for him.
"Lord Jiang, the Ministry of Rites issued a notice that the envoys of Longxu Country will arrive in the Eastern Capital tomorrow. Let us be prepared to welcome them."
Longxu Country?
Jiang Ming remembered the few people from Longxu Country that he and his father saw by the window a month ago. They had catfish mouths and two pieces of flesh whiskers. Their envoys came quite quickly.
"Okay, Lord Chang, go back first."
Now there are many clerks up and down Taihe Tower. As night falls, it becomes even more lively. Lanterns are hung on the corridor one by one, making the whole building very conspicuous in the Eastern Capital.
It is as charming as a place of pleasure but without that worldly air.
Many people who returned late saw the brightly lit Taihe Tower. Smelling the strange fragrance and listening to the music coming from inside, they immediately felt a longing. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford the entrance fee of one thousand taels.
Seeing that his father didn't know where he had gone again, Jiang Ming felt a strange feeling in his heart. Could it be that he was really looking for a stepmother for him?
Even if he really wanted to find one, he wouldn't stop him. After all, in his memory, it seemed that the original owner had never seen his mother since he was a child. His father had been alone for more than ten years. It was time to remarry.
Then he pulled Jerry out of his arms and threw him aside with a snap. It was time for the exciting card-drawing session again! A powerful general would soon be added to his team!
——Bang!
The door closed. Then he opened the ancient book by the bedside. A drop of bright red blood fell.
In an instant, it seemed that there was a sound of thunder.
A figure slowly appeared!
