Chapter 1178 The Demon Hunter's Great Demon 23

The imperial court bestowed upon the demon hunters of the prefecture level a large mansion similar to that of a third-rank official. Everything inside was arranged, and the demon hunters only needed to bring their people to live there.

Lingyao had barely arrived at the mansion and hadn't even gone inside when she saw the gifts from various aristocratic families displayed outside the door.

There were several familiar names among them, including the Xie family, the Baili family, and the Nanfeng family, all of whom sent gifts.

Every demon hunter at the prefecture level is courted by various families, but the gifts Lingyao received this time were the most complete set ever from all the aristocratic families.

After all, the people at the Demon Hunter Academy and the aristocratic families who were paying attention to the Demon Hunter Academy's movements were well aware of Ling Yao's talent.

She could never be limited to being a low-level demon hunter.

People like that are naturally the ones they'd be eager to win over.

As for the Baili family, they knew that Yu Lingyao had some minor conflicts with Baili Qing'er at the academy.

However, those are matters for the younger generation; the benefits of winning over Lingyao far outweigh the drawbacks.

Naturally, they were unwilling to give up.

Lingyao had everything put into the storeroom.

After arranging a room for Fang Shui, they completely sent these people away.

Only then did he close the door, pat his pocket, and summon the binding order.

As soon as she slapped down, Fu Ling emerged from her pocket and transformed into human form.

He suddenly swept Lingyao up in his arms.

She cheered, "From now on, I can live here with you, right? I can go out with you to slay demons and monsters together?"

His eyes were sparkling, and Lingyao felt too embarrassed to remind him.

He was the demon that was to be slain by the demon hunters.

Lingyao took out the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl and placed it in front of Fuling.

"Take this, and you'll be able to walk normally in the human world from now on."

Seeing that he was staring at the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl without saying anything, Lingyao thought he didn't know how to use it and was about to go forward to teach him.

As a result, Fu Ling raised his hand and took the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl.

He lowered his eyes to look at the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl in his hand, then looked up at Ling Yao.

Unable to resist, she pouted and leaned in.

"I want a kiss."

Lingyao waited expressionlessly for him to kiss her cheek twice, like a chick pecking at rice.

Just as his lips were about to move toward hers, Lingyao raised her hand to stop him.

"okay."

The order to bind him was refused, and he let out a soft snort.

"You're just being deliberately arrogant; deep down, you really want me to kiss you."

Lingyao: ...This novel really should be confiscated from him.

He actually learned something from it.

Fu Ling took the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl and put it away. Then, with a quick glance, he pulled out a piece of black jade from his waist.

It was placed in Lingyao's hand.

Lingyao didn't know what the black jade was for at the time. It looked like a lotus flower shaped like a piece of charcoal, but it didn't feel like charcoal. It felt more like jade.

It wasn't until a few days later, when the first Earth-level Demon Hunter quest came out, that Lingyao found out.

The black lotus jade was actually a symbiotic entity of the binding order, meaning that as long as the jade exists, the demon exists; if the jade is destroyed, the demon dies.

At the same time, the person who possesses this jade is regarded by other demons as if they were a great demon.

So the next day, Lingyao took Fangshui and Fuling to the mission location, a county town next to the main prefecture, to capture demons.

That was originally a complicated task involving nearly ten demons possessing the county town and causing chaos, which even the demon hunters stationed in the town couldn't find.

When Lingyao arrived with the binding order, the dozen or so demons acted as if they were having a seizure.

He revealed himself.

They even knelt down before Lingyao, begging her to spare their lives.

Fu Ling was dressed in a black and red robe. Because of the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl and his own restraint of demonic energy, he looked extremely upright as he held a sword to his chest.

He looks exactly like a young, wandering knight-errant.

The demons also couldn't discern his demonic identity.

However, they could sense the symbiotic organism belonging to a great demon in Lingyao's hand.

This is something that only demons can sense each other.

Either Lingyao is this great demon, or Lingyao has a great demon in her possession; otherwise, she wouldn't have this symbiotic being.

Just like demon hunters, demons are also divided into different levels. For demons like the one Lingyao has, crushing them is as easy as flipping her hand.

Of course they had to back down.

So Lingyao easily collected all the demons and returned to report.

Of course, she couldn't go back so soon, since the magistrate didn't know anything anyway.

He then carried the binding and ran around the county town, eating, drinking, and playing for half a day.

Especially the one who was bound, probably because he had just been released and was still excited.

He wielded a sword and chopped down a bamboo grove, shouting as he did so.

"Demon, surrender!"

A moment later, she would mutter something like "Mommy, Mommy" to herself, mimicking a few gestures she often made to flirt with the air.

After all that effort, I was sweating profusely.

After he was released, the county magistrate felt that the arresting officer had put in a lot of effort and thanked him repeatedly.

Fu Ling, with a stern face, clasped his hands in response: "It's nothing, it's just helping the common people, it's our duty."

Lingyao didn't know what to say to him.

It's actually quite fun.

The one who used to shout that he would kill this person and that person, now knows how to save the world. It seems that he hasn't been spoiled all these years.

They ate dinner here.

The county magistrate had originally planned to come along and host a dinner, but Lingyao declined.

This creature is not yet used to living in human form, which is most evident when it eats.

That appetite and speed of eating are something most people can't achieve.

To avoid trouble, Lingyao simply said that they had other things to talk about.

The magistrate then wisely withdrew.

Just as she had imagined, Fang Shui became an accessory throughout the entire process.

Aside from repeatedly glancing at Fu Ling, [the person in question] kept looking at her.

Sister Yao Yao said that this person was someone she rescued from among the monsters outside.

At first, she didn't quite believe it, since this person didn't look like he had been possessed by a demon.

But now she believed it, because this person was too arrogant, yet he was not a high-level demon hunter at all.

The incantations I just recited were all incomplete.

And yet, he still dared to shout, "The demons must die!" He had just told those demons, "Get out of here, all of you!"

If it weren't for Sister Yao Yao, he probably would have been torn to pieces by the demon.

It's really terrible.

But Fang Shui was also puzzled.

Why is Sister Yaoyao so close to Fuling? They seem to have such a good relationship.

You mean, let's eat. But while we were eating, Fuling kept putting food on Yaoyao's plate or leaning close to Yaoyao, even opening her little mouth and asking Yaoyao to feed her.

And Sister Yao actually fed it to him!

It's an amazing sight.

Is it just because he's good-looking?

Fang Shui secretly sized up the man, and had to admit that he was really good-looking, even more so than the dashing second young master of the Xie family.

Alas, Sister Yao Yao was ultimately blinded by good looks.
