Monster, come to my bowl

Chapter 9: Close to the face and open up

When Cai Ji heard Xue Yi's words, his face was filled with astonishment.

He looked at the pretty demon-suppressing guard in front of him, then lowered his head to look at the box in front of him. He couldn't help but reach out and pick up a small piece of debris and said, "Is this your... demon-slaying sword?"

"Yeah!" Xue Yi nodded.

"Miss, I'm not well educated, please don't lie to me!" Cai Ji was confused and said with a wry smile: "This is clearly just a pile of fragments. Even if your demon-slaying sword was accidentally broken, it can't become like this, right?"

"You're asking me?" Xue Yi raised the corners of his mouth again, and stared at Cai Ji's eyes with his beautiful eyes: "I still want to ask you?"

"What are you asking?" Cai Ji was sweating profusely because of being stared at.

"Why did my demon-slaying sword break in your hands?" Xue Yi said with a smile.

"It broke in my hand? How is that possible!" Cai Ji was shocked and instinctively defended himself: "The Demon Slayer Sword is said to be unbreakable. I'm just an ordinary person. I can't even break it, let alone break it!"

Xue Yi said nothing and continued to stare at Cai Ji with a half-smile.

In order to prove that he had nothing to hide, Cai Ji also plucked up the courage to look at her.

A single man and a single woman sat on the bed, staring at each other.

The strange atmosphere lasted for more than a dozen breaths...

"Let's change the question! Manager Cai, tell me why you fell on me!" In the end, it was Miss Xue who broke the silence first.

It's not that she is thin-skinned, but she feels that it would be unworthy of her beautiful face to kill with her eyes with a bald man.

"Falling on you?" Cai Ji thought for a moment and explained, "What happened was that I was hiding in my bedroom and shivering, and suddenly I saw you, Miss, crash through the wall of the front hall and fall into the yard with a plop. Then, through the hole you made, I saw a huge centipede crawling out of the front door. So I plucked up my courage and ran to Miss, wanting to ask if there was anything I could help with..."

At this point, Cai Ji remembered the fragment in his hand and immediately added, "Oh, by the way, when I was leaving, I saw the young lady's demon-slaying sword at the door and picked it up. Later, I don't know why, but as soon as I ran to the young lady, my eyes went dark and I fainted! I don't know what happened afterwards."

Xue Yi thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes again and asked, "That's it?"

"That's it!" Cai Ji nodded solemnly and raised his hand to swear: "If I tell even a single lie, God will punish me with lightning!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Yi turned and looked out the window.

After waiting for a while, I heard no thunder.

"Just assume that what you said is true." She nodded suddenly and smiled, "Since Shopkeeper Cai didn't lie, then I will tell you what I saw..."

Without waiting for Cai Ji to respond, the young lady began to narrate: "After I was knocked away by the monster, I also fainted. When I woke up, I found that Shopkeeper Cai was lying on top of me, and his nosebleed was everywhere, almost soaking through half of my armor..."

"Ah? I'm bleeding so much?" Upon hearing this, Cai Ji couldn't help but touch his head: "Is this the reason why I'm losing my hair?"

Xue Yi did not respond and continued, "In addition, I also found a pile of strange steel fragments next to Shopkeeper Cai. Not only were there some on the ground, but Shopkeeper Cai also had a handful in his hand..."

Having said this, she looked down at the box in front of her.

Seeing this, Cai Ji immediately understood what the eldest lady meant.

He quickly defended himself: "You mean, these fragments were in my hands at the time? So, you suspect that I broke your demon-slaying sword? Impossible! We have no grudges against each other, why would I break your demon-slaying sword? Besides, I don't have the ability to do that!"

"I find it strange, too." Xue Yi smiled and said, "Maybe something strange happened after Shopkeeper Cai fainted!"

Cai Ji felt a little relieved when he saw that the other party took the initiative to comfort him.

However, before he could even reach the bottom, he panicked!

After Xue Yi finished speaking, he suddenly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, unfolded it and said with a smile: "Manager Cai, do you recognize this thing?"

When Cai Ji saw the piece of paper in the eldest lady's hand, he felt a chill on his back.

why?

Because this piece of paper was exactly the "fragment of holy text" that he picked up!

The shape of the bloodstain and the four words "burning eyebrows" above are definitely not wrong!

"Oh my god! How did she get this thing? Did she search my bedroom while I was unconscious? Otherwise, this torn page hidden in the crack of the bed could not have fallen into her hands!"

Cai Ji's heart was filled with turmoil, but his thoughts did not stop.

He nodded resolutely and sincerely: "I know him. I picked it up on the street when I was watching the fun."

"What are you watching?" Xue Yi's tone suddenly turned cold.

The atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

“Alas…Alas…” Cai Ji knew that he could not fool around anymore, so he could only bite the bullet and say, “It’s just…it’s just to see the Second Young Master’s body.”

"Does my second brother's body look good?" Xue Yi stared at him viciously.

Depend on!

I didn't kill your brother!

Why are you glaring at me?

Cai Ji was so scared by the stares that he quickly changed the subject: "Miss, let's talk about the matter! The second young master unfortunately passed away, and I am also very sad..."

"Are you sad too?" Xue Yi sneered, suddenly stood up, and reached out to touch his waist, but found nothing.

Only then did she remember that her demon-slaying sword was not with her, but in a box.

However, this does not stop her from scaring people.

She suddenly grabbed Cai Ji by the collar, holding up the torn page in her left hand, and said in a cold tone: "Do you know that it was this piece of paper that killed my second brother? Also, to ordinary people, this piece of paper is just a piece of blood-stained waste paper! And you, not only picked it up, but also hid it at the head of the bed... Don't tell me you don't know anything!"

Hearing Xue Yi's question, Cai Ji broke out in a cold sweat.

Only then did he realize that he had underestimated the young lady in front of him.

Although the other party is young, he is definitely not an ordinary person as he can become the second-in-command of Qinghe City at this age and command hundreds of demon-suppressing guards.

All those questions and answers just now were just preparations!

What is being thrown out now is the real killer move!

Close your face and open it up!

Nowhere to hide!

Thinking of this, Cai Ji knew that he couldn't get away with it.

He simply made up his mind and said, "That's right! I know this piece of paper is the legendary fragment of holy text, and I know the words on it! Not only that, I also know what they mean! But I did pick up this piece of paper by accident, and what I just said to you is all true!"

After hearing what Cai Ji said, Xue Yi was a little surprised.

She had already made up her mind that if this boy dared to make up stories, she would teach him a lesson and let him know that losing hair was not a big deal.

But unexpectedly, the other party admitted on the spot something she could never have imagined in her dreams!

This guy knows Shengwen? !

"Do you know these words? And do you know what they mean?" Xue Yi grabbed Cai Ji's collar with one hand, squinting his eyes and asking while slowly approaching him.

Cai Ji looked at the pretty face that was almost close to his nose, and subconsciously wanted to say "oh".

However, he held back.

Because the atmosphere was not right.

He continued to muster up his courage and pretended to be tough: "That's right! But I won't tell you the details now! Unless you agree to my three conditions!"
