After we got married, I relied on my cheap husband to get promoted.

After walking for a while, they saw Cheng Jiuge and Xing Yue sitting in a teahouse on the side eating. They kept looking in the same direction.

Liu Jin immediately walked over and said, "Eat something good without me."

Cheng Jiuge and Xing Yue turned around, "Why are you here? Aren't you resting?" Cheng Jiuge looked at Zhong Lixiu.

Zhong Lixiu: "I didn't see you when I woke up." Zhong Lixiu sat next to her, and Liu Jin also sat on the other side.

Cheng Jiuge: ...You came out to look for me without seeing me?

Cheng Jiuge moved the food on the table towards him, "Eat something and don't make any noise."

Zhong Lixiu wanted to ask what he was doing, but his ears immediately heard the chat between two little demons on a table not far away. Although the two chatted very quietly, he could still hear it.

The two little demons talked about some gossip about the city lord of Wubei City, such as concubines, buying a batch of demons every once in a while, etc. It sounds like he is a very evil and hateful big demon, but they don’t know why he can be a big demon. The lord of Wubei City.

After listening to the gossip for a while and finding no more news, Cheng Jiuge and the others left and went back.

Xing Yue: "I just heard that the lord of Wubei City is an eighth-grade demon."

Cheng Jiuge: "Well, we'd better not confront him." The eighth-grade demon, the previous Zou Ren was only at the sixth grade.

Until the evening, Qian Zhong and the others had not returned yet. Cheng Jiuge was afraid that something would happen to the three of them, but he thought that with senior brother Qian Zhong here, nothing would happen.

In the early hours of the morning, there was finally movement in the yard. Cheng Jiuge got up when he heard the sound, and Zhong Lixiu also stood next to him.

"You are back? What happened to Senior Brother Qian?" As soon as Cheng Jiuge and the others left the room, they saw Qian Zhong holding his chest and looking like he was injured.

Tu Yongzhe and Yu Bei both supported him, Qian Zhong waved his hand, "Nothing, we encountered a little accident."

Tu Yongzhe: "Originally, when we entered the place where Dong Yuanyin Sect and others were injured, the monster was still guarding there, but then a person appeared, and that person discovered us and wanted to kill us. That person's cultivation Because he was very high, senior brother was accidentally injured by him because of us. We escaped."

Helping Qian Zhong into the house, Qian Zhong adjusted his breathing and felt much better, "I'm fine, but that person is not simple. And this time we have alerted the snake. I don't know if there will be more monsters." Stay there. It's probably not a human, but a monster. I just don't know which monster it is."

Cheng Jiuge: "If your cultivation level is very high... isn't the city lord of Wubei City an eighth-grade demon? Is there anyone in Wubei City who is more powerful than him?"

Qian Zhong shook his head, "I'm not sure about this. I just need to inquire more and we'll know."

"Well, we will go out to inquire tomorrow. Senior brother, you should have a good rest first."

"Ah."

The next day, Cheng Jiuge and the others divided into several teams and went out for a walk to find out the news. But for some reason, the streets seemed to be on alert today, and there were people patrolling in the clothes of the city lord's palace soldiers.

"Recently, some unknown people have come to the city and want to assassinate the city lord. If you find anyone unusual, remember to report it to the city lord's mansion. There will be rewards!"

"Okay, okay." The little demons promised well, but what they were thinking about was who was so powerful that wanted to assassinate the city lord? Moreover, Lord City Lord, an eighth-grade demon, who can be as powerful as him?

Cheng Jiuge thought, Oh no, it felt like they were being searched. Cheng Jiuge turned around and led people back to the yard immediately to talk about this.

"Bang, bang, bang, open the door, open the door, open the door!" A voice suddenly came from outside. When Cheng Jiuge heard this, he thought they were the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

Cheng Jiuge immediately gave out a stack of transformation talismans, "Use it quickly. If you can hide, hide. If you can't, just lie down on the ground."

Everyone:? ? ?
Suddenly, two rabbit ears appeared on Cheng Jiuge's head, and suddenly there was a tail behind it. She patted her cheeks, smiled, and walked out to open the door, "Who is it?" When she opened the door, she saw those guards as expected, and they didn't care about Cheng Jiuge. He rushed in and took a look, "I heard that you guys came here in the past few days. What are you doing here? Where are the others of your kind?"

Cheng Jiuge: "Ah? We are here to attend a birthday banquet. Isn't the Zhu Mansion in the east of the city celebrating a birthday recently? We are here to attend his birthday banquet."

"Pig Mansion? What does a rabbit demon like you have to do with a pig demon?"

Cheng Jiuge nodded, "He is my mother's father's nephew's second uncle. In short, they are related. You can find out if you investigate."

Anyway, the pig demon in the east of the city is indeed having a birthday party recently. As for this relative, the pig demon has so many relatives anyway, who knows which one it is? This is all the news she heard outside yesterday and today.

"Where are your other companions?"

"Let them bask in the sun in the back. Haha." Cheng Jiuge laughed dryly.

The guards glanced at her and walked across the yard into the backyard. As soon as she entered, she saw several rabbits squatting on the grass, one of which was eating grass. The rabbits looked at them immediately when they heard the sound.

At this time, a humanoid rabbit demon came out of the room with a very bad look on his face, "Ahem, madam, what are they doing?" Yes, this "rabbit demon" is Zhong Lixiu. , he is now the same as Cheng Jiuge.

The guards looked at him and then at the rabbits, waved their hands, "Let's go!"

Cheng Jiuge immediately sent the person out, "Walk slowly, walk slowly." She closed the door, exhaled, and listened to the footsteps on the other side before she walked back. At this time, all the rabbits on the lawn had turned into humans.

Zhong Lixiu actually had two rabbit ears on his head. Cheng Jiuge found it interesting and reached out to pinch them. What she didn't see was that Zhong Lixiu moved his tail and his ears turned red.

The tail and ears disappeared with a "pop", and everyone returned to their normal appearance.

"Senior Brother Qian was injured last night, and someone came to search him today. I don't believe it was such a coincidence."

Zhong Lixiu: "So you doubt that city lord?"

Cheng Jiuge: "Yeah. Speaking of which, I don't know what the city lord of Wubei City looks like. What does Senior Brother Qian and the others look like last night?"

Zhong Lixiu: "I asked someone today about someone wearing a mask."

Cheng Jiuge frowned, "Wearing a mask again? It can't be Zheng Yu, right?"

Zhong Lixiu: "Probably not."

"Wait for the others to come back later and see if there are any clues."

"Ah."

In the evening, everyone came back, and everyone was a little worried when they heard about the guards coming today.

Qian Zhong: "It seems we can't stay here for long. Let's go there tonight."

"it is good."

When I went out to inquire about news today, I got another news, that is, the city lord of Wubei City is a vulture. He is a famous figure in the entire demon world. He also competed for the position of demon king before but lost. He can also bend and stretch. , bowing to the current demon king.
