Chapter 95 - Demons, Dragons, Gods? (1/2)

Before the demon hunter could say anything else, Hong Bao leaped to her feet and pointed at the other side of the road. ”There, that's him!”

The man whirled around and his gaze locked onto the people leaving the teahouse: Mister Zhong, Madam Zhong, Zhong Jing Yi and … Qiang Wei. The dragon had hidden his presence to mortal eyes but unfortunately, the demon hunter wasn't a normal human. He wasn't able to clearly see Qiang Wei, but he could still perceive that someone was there.

”I see.” His expression became even graver. This young lady and her darling probably have gotten into some fight between demons. That 'goddess of love' is most likely some fox spirit and the one over there … I can't identify his exact origin at the moment, but he should be a pretty high ranking demon if that is the case.

”So, can you help me?” Hong Bao's eyes shone. Yes! Finally! She had nearly saved Shun Tao now!

”Mn. Give me some ti—”

”Then let's go!” Hong Bao grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet, running after the Zhongs and Qiang Wei.

”Heh!” The demon hunter pulled at her hand to make her stop, but Hong Bao lost her balance and crashed into him. The man caught her and closed his eyes. What was it with this woman?

”Ah! Oh, no! Come on, we have to hurry! What if we lose them? I don't know where they are staying!” She started pulling him along again and this time, he just followed her.

Whatever. We'll see how it goes. Even if it's a high-level demon, I should be able to kill it. Just that … He looked at Hong Bao. I can't have her in the vicinity if a fight breaks loose. She's just a normal person. How could she be able to take it?

The two of them followed the Zhongs to Zhong Gang's house and stopped a few hundred meters down the road. ”So that's where he lives!” Hong Bao fixated on the door.

This was the right place, she had the right weapon in her hands and had identified the right target. The only thing she had to do was to get inside somehow and do it. She turned around and looked at the demon hunter expectantly but the man was eying the house. He was pondering whether the demon he had seen was the only one inside. He couldn't sense anything from this distance but thinking about it now, he also hadn't felt anything from that demon when he was right opposite him on the other side of the road. This was worrying.

Hong Bao waited for a while but finally lost her patience. She turned around and made her way over to the door. So … how to get inside? She tried pushing the door open but of course, it was closed. So, this wasn't possible.

She looked around and went over to the wall next to the door. There were rather deep joints between the bricks. Maybe she could use those to climb inside? She tried grabbing them and securing her foot in one of them but she fell down as soon as she put the second foot up.

Hong Bao sat on her butt and pouted. It couldn't be that she would fail at the last juncture, could it?!

The demon hunter looked over and lifted his brows. ”What are you trying to do?”

Hong Bao turned around and looked at him, depressed. ”I can't get inside.”

The demon hunter put a hand to his brow and sighed. ”What are you hurrying for? There's a demon inside! You can't just rush inside blindly!”

”What demon? Isn't he a god?”

The man just shook his head. It would lead to nothing trying to explain the truth to her. Of course, the man never would have thought that Hong Bao understood the situation very well and that she wasn't any more human than the supposed demon Qiang Wei. Well, maybe she was, considering that Hong Bao had once been a mortal before she was raised to the status of a deity and that Qiang Wei was born as a dragon.

”You don't need to worry about that. Just let me finish him off.”

”Are you sure? No, wait, that's not right! Why do you even want to finish him off? The goddess of love said that it would be enough to injure him a little with that dagger.”
