Commentary on Chapter 128
Then he pulled the phoenix hairpin off her leg, and blood immediately flowed from the cat demon's leg, but the phoenix hairpin remained clean, without a single drop of blood on it.
"Who exactly are you?" the cat demon asked through gritted teeth, glaring at Long Chuqing.
"Who I am doesn't matter." Long Chuqing wiped the hairpin on her cloak, then put it back in her hair. She glanced at the cat demon again, then said awkwardly, "But you shouldn't have set your sights on me."
The cat demon glared at Long Chuqing with bared teeth, its eyes filled with resentment, and roared in a low voice, "So what if I'm after you? I wish I could devour you alive."
Long Chu listened but remained nonchalant, saying with a hint of mockery, "Aren't you afraid of choking?"
"Chu Qing..." Just then, Xiao Han and Qing Ying arrived at Long Chu Qing's side. He anxiously pulled her close to check on her carefully and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Long Chuqing shook her head, smiled gently, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Look, the cat demon has been caught." As she spoke, she pointed to the cat demon lying motionless on the ground.
Everyone looked down at the cat demon bound on the ground. They were tense but also curious as they looked at her, since none of them had ever seen a demon before.
"This...this is a cat demon? And a woman at that." Qingzhou looked astonished upon seeing the cat demon, his eyes wide with slight nervousness. "This is the first time I've seen a demon this close up."
"Hmm..." Long Chuqing's lips curled up slightly as she slowly said, "Everyone should take a good look, pay close attention, because the chance to see a cat demon is quite rare!"
"Ahem..." Fei Feng was speechless after hearing this, secretly rolling her eyes. "If we're talking about rare things, you're probably the least common one!"
Long Chuqing retorted, "We're in the same boat."
"Hahaha..." Feng Yu laughed helplessly, "But Qingqing, it really is funny to hear you say that."
Qingying frowned, gripped her sword tightly, pointed it at the cat demon, and turned to ask, "Miss Long, is this cat demon really like you said, with a black mouth and eyes?"
“She really does have two sharp teeth in her mouth, just like in the book.” Qingyang observed carefully and said in surprise, “And her fingernails are so sharp. If someone gets scratched by them, it’s not just a matter of bleeding.”
"We've really seen something amazing today," Qing Tong couldn't help but exclaim. "After all, we've encountered something so rare. Not only have we seen a huge pack of wolves and wildcats, but we've also seen the legendary monster up close. It's definitely something special."
"Hiss... You bunch of mortals, stop judging me." The cat demon bared its teeth, its eyes flashing with ferocity as it glared fiercely at the crowd before it.
The group was startled by the cat demon's sudden snarling and took two steps back.
"Hmph..." Qingyang frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "You're still so arrogant even though you're tied up."
"Miss Long, is the whip binding tight enough?" Qingzhou asked anxiously, "What if she suddenly breaks free and attacks us?"
Hearing Qingzhou's words, Qing Tong, Qingying, and Qingyang were also worried. Their expressions immediately became alert, and the atmosphere became tense. They slowly raised their swords and aimed them at the cat demon on the ground.
"Don't worry, everyone, there's no need to be nervous," Long Chuqing explained calmly. "She can't break free from my whip. The more she struggles, the tighter the whip will tighten."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han looked at the cat demon and saw that the cat demon's arms and body, which were bound by the whip, were already oozing a lot of blood.
He guessed that an ordinary whip wouldn't be able to bind a demon, and that it was bleeding.
This proved that the whip was indeed, as he had previously thought, sharpened.
As for why he was able to bind the cat demon, he had no idea. Before he could examine it closely, Chu Qing had taken the whip away.
“Chu Qing…” Xiao Han looked at Long Chu Qing and asked, “What should we do with this cat demon now?”
"Why don't you take it back and give it to your third brother? Isn't he looking for the murderer?"
"Hmm..." Xiao Han nodded, then asked worriedly, "Will there be any danger?"
After Su Jue put the gray wolf demon into the demon-suppressing bottle, he rushed to their side and learned that they had already subdued the cat demon.
He walked up to Long Chuqing and said, "Miss, could you please hand over the cat demon to me to take back to my sect for processing afterward?"
Upon hearing that she was to be taken back to the Qingyu Sect and then imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, the cat demon cried out in terror and despair, "No, no, I don't want to be imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower again."
Long Chuqing ignored the cat demon's howls and looked at Su Jue, saying, "But I don't know how the yamen will handle it. If they are willing to hand the cat demon over to you after they close the case, then you can take her back and negotiate with them."
After listening, Su Jue stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then raised his eyes and said, "Alright! You're the ones who captured her, so you should deal with her first."
At this moment, Su Jue noticed the whip binding the cat demon. He frowned slightly, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.
An ordinary whip cannot bind a monster, but this doesn't look like a magic whip either. Moreover, this girl said that she has no sect or school and is not from the same clan as me, so she is not a demon catcher.
As for why the cat demon was able to be bound, it is unknown whether it was due to the whip or some kind of magic that trapped it.
The cat demon howled madly again, drawing everyone's attention back to her. Suddenly, she looked at Long Chuqing.
"She's not..." The words were cut short in the cat demon's throat. Feng Yu controlled the cat demon's movements, and the whip tightened invisibly. The cat demon could only contort its face in pain, unable to utter a sound.
By this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and it was late afternoon. Since the cat demon and the wolf demon had been captured, there was no need for them to stay any longer.
Xiao Han looked at Long Chuqing beside him and said softly, "Chuqing, it's getting late, let's go back!"
“Okay.” Long Chuqing nodded.
"So what should we do with this cat demon? Should we just drag it away?" Bronze asked from the side.
"Why don't you hand her over to me?" Su Jue said from the side. "I will put her into the demon-suppressing bottle and take her back. After that, I will send her to the yamen."
Upon hearing this, Qingyang decisively refused, saying, "That won't do. Who knows if you'll sneak away with the cat demon? Where will we find you then?"
"Sigh... Brother, what are you saying? Is there not even this much trust between people?"
Su Jue put his arm around Qing Yang's shoulder and said casually, "Besides, even if I run away, the monk can run away but the temple can't! Don't you already know which sect I belong to? I can't bring shame to my sect, can I?"
