Volume 3, Chapter 247 – How Could They Have Done Nothing?!

Wei Qingyu nodded. “Very well.”

After receiving this affirmative response, Chi Xiyan looked toward Chi Zhong, her gaze sharp.

“With my pill as a guide and Inspector Wei’s secret techniques from the Demon Suppression Bureau, will the results obtained satisfy everyone present?”

Although Chi Xiyan said “everyone present,” her gaze never left Chi Zhong before her.

The implication couldn’t be more obvious.

Chi Zhong felt heavy pressure emanating from Chi Xiyan.

That sharp gaze made his skin sting.

Damn it, what was this woman so proud of?

Anyone could see that country girl called Yu Lizhi had problems! This futile struggling, aside from embarrassing the Chi family’s direct bloodline, what other meaning did it have?

Chi Zhong laughed several times dryly. “Sister Xiyan, you jest. Who would dare doubt Inspector Wei’s impartiality?”

Wei Qingyu was an inspector of the imperial court’s Demon Suppression Bureau, with a transcendent status. A mere Chi Zhong, how could he question her?

Chi Jingwen stroked his beard. He looked at Chi Zhong, then at Chi Xiyan. Finally, he said to Wei Qingyu, “Little Friend Qingyu, I trouble you with this.”

“It’s merely a small effort,” Wei Qingyu responded simply.

She walked up to the altar and came to Lu Zhuxin’s side.

“The Demon Suppression Bureau’s secret method for detecting demonic qi is actually rather crude, not as precise as the sword sects’ pheromone detection stones.”

She chuckled softly. “Unfortunately, the sword sects’ pheromone detection stones are rare in number and can only be used to detect the pheromones left by the Fox Clan.”

Lu Zhuxin listened to Wei Qingyu’s words with surprise in her heart.

What was this woman suddenly talking about?

Rеαd oո ΚatRеαdinɡCаfе

Bringing up pheromone detection stones at this moment? What did she mean?

Actually, Lu Zhuxin wasn’t afraid of any demonic qi detection from the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Aside from domineering mechanical items like pheromone detection stones, other things found it difficult to detect an Eighth Realm fox demon who was deliberately hiding.

The Eighth Realm was the final realm of the eight cultivation realms, already beyond mortal status.

One realm higher, and one would communicate with the Heavenly Dao, gaining heaven and earth’s protection to become a Venerable Saint.

Only fellow Eighth Realm experts could possibly see through an Eighth Realm disguise.

Although Lu Zhuxin’s combat power was only five, the Fox Monarch was still a genuine Eighth Realm being. As long as she didn’t encounter mechanical items like “pheromone detection stones,” it was impossible for a group of Sixth and Seventh Realm cultivators to see through her true form.

“Zhizhi.” Chi Xiyan walked over and handed the pill to Lu Zhuxin. “Hold this pill in your mouth, then spit it out after a moment, and we’ll have our result.”

“Mm.” Lu Zhuxin nodded.

She took the pill from Chi Xiyan and gently placed it in her mouth.

The pill was cool, with a faint sweetness.

After Chi Xiyan calculated the time for a while, she brought over a plate.

“Time’s up. Spit out the pill.”

Lu Zhuxin did as instructed and spat out the pill she’d been holding in her mouth.

With a clink, the pill fell onto the plate Chi Xiyan had brought, rolling around.

Many people around them stood up curiously, and even Chi Zhong craned his neck to see the result.

Chi Xiyan didn’t hide anything either. She tilted the plate, displaying the pill for everyone around to see.

The pill in the plate was completely jade-green, dotted with crystalline moisture, without the slightest sign of color loss.

Chi Xiyan then explained to Chi Zhong, “As I said earlier, this pill will dissolve and lose color when it comes into contact with a man’s scorching yang energy.”

“Now, this pill’s color remains unchanged, which proves that Yu Lizhi has not been intimate with any man!”

The corner of Chi Zhong’s eye twitched. He said dissatisfied, “Everyone knows of Sister Xiyan’s talent in the way of pills. You refined this pill yourself. If you secretly added something to it, outsiders would find it hard to notice, wouldn’t they?”

Chi Xiyan chuckled. She knew Chi Zhong would say this.

So she lightly tossed the pill plate in her hand, and the crystalline jade-green pill flew directly out.

Seeing a shadow hurtling toward his forehead, Chi Zhong instinctively caught it with his hand.

However, the sensation in his hand carried faint moisture.

Chi Zhong’s expression changed, and he instinctively threw away the pill that someone had held in their mouth.

The pill rolled onto the ground, and its jade-green color began to rapidly fade, soon becoming a transparent murky white.

People nearby saw this and immediately shouted loudly, “It changed color! It changed color!”

“The pill changed color!”

“This pill truly can’t be touched by men!”

Chi Xiyan said with a light laugh, “Now, do you have anything else to say, Chi Zhong?”

Chi Zhong’s expression was rather ugly.

He truly had nothing to say, so he maintained his silence.

“It’s my turn next, isn’t it?” Wei Qingyu smiled as she looked at Lu Zhuxin. “Little Sister Zhizhi, lend me your hand for a moment.”

“Alright, Sister Wei.” Lu Zhuxin lightly gripped the corner of her clothes with her left hand and extended her right hand to Wei Qingyu.

Wei Qingyu gently grasped Lu Zhuxin’s wrist. “I’ll begin using the Demon Suppression Bureau’s secret method now.”

As she spoke, she lightly traced characters on Lu Zhuxin’s palm with her finger.

What kind of secret method was this? She’d never seen anything like it! Just playing around by tracing like this?

Just as Lu Zhuxin was questioning Wei Qingyu’s professionalism, she suddenly felt a subtle spiritual power probe into her body through her wrist.

This power was very covert. If not for the Eighth Realm great demon’s incomparably powerful spiritual consciousness, Lu Zhuxin wouldn’t have discovered it so easily.

Ha! Wei Qingyu had no secret method for detecting demonic qi at all.

She was using the cover of the so-called Demon Suppression Bureau secret method to examine and probe!

Unfortunately for her, she’d picked the wrong target. She underestimated Lu Zhuxin and overestimated herself.

Immediately, Lu Zhuxin controlled the vast demonic power within her body, making it completely dormant.

This allowed Wei Qingyu’s perception to move through her body unobstructed.

This way, in Wei Qingyu’s perception, Lu Zhuxin was just an ordinary person without any cultivation.

Chi Xiyan, standing nearby, watched Wei Qingyu grasp Lu Zhuxin’s hand, her elegant brows drawing together.

She was very close to Wei Qingyu, so naturally she could see that Wei Qingyu’s light tracing movements on Lu Zhuxin’s hand were just random scribbles without any meaning.

It looked more like intimate caresses.

What was this woman doing?!

“Inspector Wei?” Chi Xiyan frowned and asked, “Have you obtained results from your demon-suppression secret method?”

“Don’t rush,” Wei Qingyu said. “The Demon Suppression Bureau’s secret method needs some time to take full effect. This way, the results obtained will be accurate enough.”

If Chi Xiyan hadn’t seen her repeat the same movements several times already, she would have actually believed this nonsense.

After another brief moment, Wei Qingyu finally released Lu Zhuxin’s hand.

She looked around at the countless inquiring gazes.

“Everyone.”

“I’ve examined her using the Demon Suppression Bureau’s secret method.”

“This young lady Yu Lizhi has no residual demonic qi in her body.”

“I found no evidence that could directly prove she was intimate with demons.”

Chi Zhong’s eyes immediately widened.

“How is this possible!” he said in a daze. “This can’t be.”

The intelligence he received couldn’t be wrong!

“Those wolf demons stripped this woman naked!”

“How could they have done nothing?!”

“She should have been completely ruined by those wolf demons!”

Wei Qingyu’s expression turned slightly cold. “Watch your words.”

“Are you trying to question what I said? Question the Demon Suppression Bureau’s authority and justice?”

Seeing Wei Qingyu’s slightly chilling gaze, Chi Zhong couldn’t help but shiver.

“This humble one…”

“This humble one wouldn’t dare…”

Chi Xiyan then said to Chi Jingwen, “Father, Chi Zhong spread rumors, slandered the reputation of the Chi family’s direct bloodline, and disrupted the recognition ceremony. Please punish him severely according to clan rules!”
