Lin Lingling.
The first time Chen Huaian learned the girl’s name, he had given her a nickname.
Three eggs, or three zeros.
In his impression, she was a high school student with severe otaku syndrome, even worse than himself.
But the two of them didn’t have much interaction; they’d only met once before.
So here’s the question: why would such an unfamiliar girl appear at his doorstep?
And if he wasn’t mistaken, she hadn’t come through the front door but climbed in through the window?
“Emmm, this chain hotel’s surveillance system isn’t very good…” Chen Huaian looked at the blood on the ground and felt a headache coming on. How was he supposed to deal with all this blood? How could he explain it to the cleaning lady later?
“Well, I might as well bring this girl inside first. The floor is quite cold.”
Out of respect, Chen Huaian went inside, put on some clothes, and then came out to carry the “three zeros” inside. He had been wearing nothing but a pair of shorts before.
On the sofa, Ba Ji, who had been lurking and watching, was stunned when it saw Chen Huaian bring the little thief inside so gently.
Why?!
Why didn’t the master just tear this little thief apart?
Why was the master holding the thief so tenderly?
Could it be that it had attacked the wrong person?
Were the thief and the master actually friends?
Ba Ji was increasingly alarmed the more it thought about it.
What if the thief revealed its identity when they woke up?
Then the master would know it was a demon!
And then the master would awaken his memories, summon a sky full of thunder, fry it into a lump of charcoal, throw it into a pot, add some scallions and cooking wine, cut it into pieces, dip it in soy sauce, and enjoy it as an appetizer with a drink!
Was this right?
What about all the efforts it had made until now?
Chen Huaian had no idea that the Taotie was already terrified.
He was taking out his phone to call 120.
Although his Fengchun needles might indeed help the situation of the “three zeros,” human lives were at stake. If he accidentally killed her with a few needles, wouldn’t he end up as shrimp fried rice?
He held the phone between his neck and shoulder while placing the girl on the sofa.
As soon as the “three zeros” lay down, she turned her head to the side and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
“My goodness, did this girl get completely injured by a semi-truck? Is her injury so serious?”
Chen Huaian was shocked.
After calling the doctor, he quickly described the condition of the “three zeros.”
【Her condition is critical. You need to perform first aid on her first. I’ll tell you what to do!】
The doctor asked Chen Huaian to stop the bleeding for the “three zeros” and then perform CPR.
When Chen Huaian lifted her school uniform, he saw ghastly wounds on her chest and abdomen, looking like they were caused by some wild beast, a mess of flesh and blood, with skin and muscles flayed open.
He quickly tore the blanket into strips to bandage the “three zeros.”
By this point, he knew he couldn’t stay here anymore, so he didn’t feel too guilty about causing trouble.
“The next step is CPR.”
Following the video sent by the doctor, Chen Huaian placed both hands on the chest of the “three zeros” and pressed down.
Crack.
“Pfft—!”
A mouthful of old blood sprayed onto the ceiling from the “three zeros.”
Chen Huaian: “?”
Not that his strength had become so great recently, had it?
One press and he broke someone’s ribs?
Poor “three zeros,” who had just broken three ribs, had not yet recovered from her old injuries, and now Chen Huaian had broken three more ribs for her. But at least they were symmetrically aligned left and right.
“This won’t work, I still have to use the needle.” Seeing that the “three zeros” were exhaling more than inhaling, Chen Huaian didn’t care anymore whether he might become a murderer. He immediately took out the set of silver needles.
It wasn’t an illusion.
He felt that today his ability to apply the needles was faster, more accurate, and steadier than before.
In just a few moves, he had stimulated the bleeding-stopping acupoints, then began focusing on bone repair. The exact principle was unclear, probably increasing the synthesis speed of stem cells.
【How could the master personally treat someone? What kind of identity does this person have?!】
Ba Ji was utterly disheartened when it saw Chen Huaian take out the silver needles.
The fact that the master personally applied the needles explained everything!
It found a corner to curl up in and silently waited for its tragic fate.
“All that can be done has been done. The rest depends on fate.”
Chen Huaian moved the “three zeros” off the sofa and placed her right in front of Ba Ji.
Ba Ji: “…”
The master wanted it to die!
But dared it move?
It didn’t dare!
‘Odd, why is Ba Ji so timid today?’ Chen Huaian glanced at Ba Ji cowering in the corner but didn’t pay too much attention.
It must have been scared.
Cats are naturally sensitive animals and cautious about strange smells.
…
In less than ten minutes, Lin Lingling slowly woke up.
Severe blood loss and hunger made her head dizzy.
However, when her gaze fell on Ba Ji, the intense demonic aura instantly sobered her up. She was so frightened that her whole body twitched.
Under the watchful eyes of Ba Ji, Lin Lingling felt her scalp tingle and dared not move.
It was that big demon who had blasted her away through the window last night!
Lin Lingling’s breathing trembled, tears streaming down her face without end.
Last night’s mission failed miserably.
She originally thought the target was a Class B demon, but it turned out not to be one but a group!
That intelligence must have been outdated, completely lagging behind. The original Class B cat demon had long since advanced to Class A and even gave birth to a group of Class C and D kittens.
She could handle a Class A demon alone.
But against a whole group, even two of her wouldn’t be enough!
Now she had barely escaped alive, but instead of leaving the wolves’ den, she entered the tiger’s lair, and this time there was no way out.
Just as she was thinking this,
the black cat slowly approached step by step, its golden feline pupils staring straight at her.
Finished, she was going to die.
She was going to be eaten by the demon… without a trace! — Lin Lingling lamented inwardly.
She was still a high school student, just a 16-year-old girl, with many years ahead of her.
She hadn’t even flown on a flying sword in the sky yet, how could she die here?
“Meow~”
The soft cat sound startled Lin Lingling.
Her eyeballs moved, and she realized the black cat was already very close.
Then…
Slurp!
Lin Lingling’s eyes widened.
Lick?!
That big demon was actually licking her!
She rolled her eyes back, almost fainting again.
“Hey, you’re awake!”
A dazzlingly handsome face appeared in her field of vision.
Chen Huaian looked at Ba Ji licking Lin Lingling’s cheek and couldn’t help but smile like an aunt: “Looks like Ba Ji likes you. It never licks my face.”
Lin Lingling was shocked: What nonsense, this big demon’s name is… called Ji… No, it’s called Ba Ji?!
Ba Ji shivered all over: Licking the master’s face? That’s definitely a trap! This beast still wants to live a few more days, absolutely cannot fall for the trick!!
“Thank you for saving me…” Lin Lingling stared at Chen Huaian’s incredibly handsome face, feeling completely lost.
Coupled with physical discomfort, speaking was difficult, so she closed her eyes and let her mind go blank. She needed a moment to sort out her thoughts.
“Don’t thank me, the ambulance will be here soon.” Just as Chen Huaian said that,
a group of doctors rushed in with the hotel staff, quickly placing Lin Lingling on a stretcher.
Seeing this scene, Ba Ji, which had been tense, finally relaxed.
Get out of here quick!
Never come back!
…
Only after being loaded onto the ambulance did Lin Lingling’s mind become slightly clearer.
The relationship between Chen Huaian and Ba Ji was still unclear.
But one thing was certain.
Chen Huaian was not a thoroughly evil person.
Perhaps the talismans on Chen Huaian were related to that cat demon?
In the Demon-Slaying Division, there were also those who made contracts with demons to gain powerful abilities, and this was not uncommon.
Oh! She remembered!
Her blood traces might be tracked by those cat demons!!!
Terrible!
Things have gone awry.
Lin Lingling struggled to sit up, intending to warn Chen Huaian.
The next second, she was pushed back by a nurse, and a breathing mask was placed over her face, instantly silencing her.
“The patient’s condition is serious, she’s having epileptic seizures, rush back quickly for emergency treatment!”
The doctor’s serious expression commanded.
The ambulance sped off, sparks flying.
Lin Lingling, lying on the stretcher, looked at the stark white ceiling of the ambulance and a tear of regret fell from the corner of her eye.
‘Master, I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional…’
…
