I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 85

It was certainly too late to try and stop them now. Ten minutes was enough time for the car to drive a long distance, and the little newcomer’s phone was now unreachable, which most likely meant something had gone wrong.

“Yimeng, wait for me here. I have to go deal with something.” Relying on the lingering energy of the man in the suit, Wen Yunqing quickly performed another divination, attempting to locate the Greater Demon’s aura.

This time, Wen Yunqing was in luck. She quickly pinpointed the Greater Demon’s location, which was less than three thousand meters away from her.

Wen Yimeng also realized the severity of the situation. She did not try to stop Wen Yunqing or ask to be taken along, but only spoke with a hint of worry, “Alright, but please be careful. I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

“Don’t worry, I am very strong,” Wen Yunqing kissed her girlfriend on the cheek. “I will be back in two hours at the most.”

Although Wen Yunqing had found the Greater Demon’s location, the other party simultaneously sensed her presence and began moving quickly.

Catching up to the car at this moment was not a wise choice. To avoid causing unnecessary public panic, she immediately affixed three invisibility talismans to her body and, for the first time, used her full power, advancing at an extremely high speed.

“They can actually keep up with me? It looks like the Special Affairs Department has found someone formidable this time,” a man in black, with a hand wrapped in bandages, lamented. After scanning the area, he headed straight for the crowded downtown shopping district.

Wen Yunqing’s speed was much faster than the man in black’s, but the streams of people going back and forth caused her some trouble. The chaotic and mixed auras were simply too numerous, and she risked losing the demon’s trace if she lost focus for even a moment.

“Seriously, I wanted to hoard them for a bit longer,” Wen Yunqing muttered under her breath, pulling out a jade talisman brimming with spiritual energy from her storage space.

This could be considered Wen Yunqing’s inheritance from her previous life; it was crafted by gathering the spiritual resources of an entire world. Since it had been kept in the storage space, the spiritual power had not dissipated.

Wen Yunqing stroked the jade talisman, unable to stop herself from mentally calculating its value, before reluctantly affixing it to her own body.

Darn it! Over ten million yuan just got spent like this. Once she caught the demon, she was definitely going to make the creature pay double the compensation!

Thinking this, Wen Yunqing’s speed increased once more, giving the man in black no time to react. Finding an opportunity, she directly made a fist and smashed it toward him.

How could she be so fast? The man in black was startled. Seeing her approach, he lunged toward a group of college students nearby, simultaneously lifting his disguise. He planned to create chaos in the crowded area so he could seize the opportunity to escape.

Wen Yunqing had long anticipated this move. She pulled out another jade talisman and, with a look of heartache, hurled it toward the man in black.

The spiritual power contained within the rune instantly froze the man in black’s body, causing him to lose control and crash straight onto the ground. He landed in a very embarrassing state, knocking out several teeth.

“Ah, did he fall down?” Many people were startled by the person who suddenly appeared and then suddenly tripped.

However, ninety percent of the people on this street were looking down at their phones, so they merely found it a bit strange and didn’t think too deeply about it.

“I apologize, this is my relative who has a slight mental issue. I’m taking him back now,” Wen Yunqing appeared at an opportune moment and quickly dragged the man up from the ground.

“Excuse us, excuse us,” Wen Yunqing said while simultaneously modifying the cognition of the people around her, causing them to blur their impressions of her.

After expending some spiritual power, Wen Yunqing successfully dragged the man in black into a deserted alleyway. “Where did you take our person? Speak, or I’ll kill you.”

Wen Yunqing didn’t waste time and immediately pulled out a gleaming dagger, holding it against the man in black, whose original ears and tail had already sprouted out.

“You’re human?” After regaining control of his body, the man in black, who was the Greater Demon, asked with suspicion. “You look only twenty years old. You must be a Greater Demon with higher cultivation than mine, right? There’s no need for us in the Demon race to hurt each other.”

“Are you calling me not human?” Wen Yunqing raised an eyebrow, pressing the dagger inward, intending to scratch his skin as a warning to the Greater Demon.

Unfortunately, the dagger Wen Yunqing was holding, though sharp in appearance, was only forged from common steel. Even with her strength, it only left a red mark on him.

“You’re actually human?” The shock on the Greater Demon’s face did not fade. “Don’t lie to me. Human cultivators can’t possibly be stronger than me, let alone a little brat…”

The killing intent in Wen Yunqing’s eyes caused the Greater Demon to sheepishly swallow the rest of his sentence, and his tone became normal. “I didn’t kill anyone. According to the Special Affairs Department’s regulations, you have no right to punish me.”

“I don’t want to argue with you. The demon who likes to deceive female university students for their essence must be your subordinate, right? What did you make him do? Where did he take Xiao Rui?” Wen Yunqing pressed on.

To catch the chief, first catch the king. Now that she had caught the boss, his subordinate shouldn’t dare to cause any more trouble.

“What are you talking about? I don’t know anything!” The Greater Demon played dumb. “I was only resting here to recover from an injury. I don’t have any subordinates.”

Wen Yunqing impatiently clicked her tongue. Could it be that the Special Affairs Department’s methods in Jing City were too gentle? She had a knife at his neck, yet he still dared to tell a blatant lie.

“Last time I’ll ask you, are you going to talk or not?” Wen Yunqing silently channeled her spiritual power onto the dagger.

The Greater Demon sensed the danger, but he still refused to yield. “Do you have any evidence? You probably don’t, right? The Special Affairs Department always follows the rule of…”

Before the Greater Demon could finish his sentence, he saw blood spurting onto his face. Perhaps the previous talisman hadn’t worn off yet, as he saw his left hand being severed before he even felt the pain.

It was cut off by the same dagger that had been held against his neck. Was this even rational?

The pain of the severed arm was late but arrived, and the Greater Demon gritted his teeth, not letting out a single sound, though it was unclear why.

Seeing this, Wen Yunqing’s view of the Greater Demon changed slightly. It seemed he was a spirited demon. “Tell me, where did you take Xiao Rui?”

The Greater Demon remained silent, still biting down hard on his teeth.

Wen Yunqing would not feel sorry for a demon she had no connection to. She immediately set her eyes on the Greater Demon’s right hand. “If you don’t talk, I’ll keep chopping. You have two legs and one hand left; you should be able to refuse me three more times.”

The Greater Demon closed his eyes and spat out the words one by one: “Are you really… not… a demon?”

“Of course not. I am relatively gentle with my own kind,” Wen Yunqing placed the dagger on his right hand and immediately began counting down.

“Three, two…”

“I really don’t know. I just taught him a way to increase his cultivation, that’s all,” the Greater Demon’s intuition made him believe Wen Yunqing’s words. In order not to lose his limbs, he could only yield to the human.

“You didn’t instruct him to intentionally expose a flaw to lure us in?” Wen Yunqing asked, her brow furrowing slightly.

No way, could my deduction have been wrong? Is my divination ability really that bad?

But that didn’t seem right either. If her divination ability was really poor, how could she have accurately calculated the Greater Demon’s location?

“Why would I do that? I only wanted to heal my injuries. Having a demon help me attract attention was enough,” cold sweat covered the Greater Demon’s forehead.

Under Wen Yunqing’s watchful gaze, his demonic power gradually weakened, and his human disguise slowly disappeared, finally reverting completely to his original form.

“You’re a Wolf Demon?” Wen Yunqing gave a small sound of surprise. “Don’t wolves usually like to live in packs? Why are you alone?”

The black wolf did not speak, but turned his head away, showing his protest through his actions.

“Since you taught that demon the method to cultivate by deceiving people, you should have a way to contact him, right?” Wen Yunqing said, softening her tone. “As long as you make him send the person back, I can let you go this one time.”

The black wolf’s ears twitched, but upon seeing the bloodstains on the ground and his severed leg, resistance flowed back into his vertical pupils.

Although his arm could be cultivated back eventually, this human before him was the one who cut off his limb. Why should he help?

“I forgot to mention,” Wen Yunqing seemed to guess the black wolf’s thoughts and slowly added, “Winter is coming soon, and I just happen to be missing a warm coat. What do you think of a wolf fur coat?”

A wolf fur coat? Is this human going to kill me and strip my skin for a coat?

Is this really a human? Even we demons don’t have such cruel beings!

In the end, the black wolf lay on the ground, reluctantly beginning to use the unique method of the Demon race to contact the previous demon, telling him to bring the human back to his location.

“Wait, Xiao Qi is in trouble,” the black wolf, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up and explained. “I truly just told him to trick people outside and cover for me. I needed to heal, not to lure people from your Special Affairs Department to catch me.”

Wen Yunqing frowned in thought. If this black wolf was telling the truth, had she been played again?

“Where was the ‘Xiao Qi’ you mentioned just now?” Wen Yunqing asked in a low voice. She was genuinely angry this time. Was this person setting up a trap specifically for her? One trick after another?

For a moment, Wen Yunqing worried about Wen Yimeng, who was at the restaurant. If the opponent was truly targeting her, would they take advantage of her absence to harm Wen Yimeng?

Thinking of this, Wen Yunqing’s face darkened even further. She repeated her previous action and called Wen Yimeng’s phone.

“Hello, what is it?” Wen Yimeng quickly answered the phone.

“It’s nothing, just be careful over there. If you see anyone suspicious, use the Heavenly Thunder Talisman I gave you.” Wen Yunqing breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, she always paid close attention to her girlfriend’s safety. She made sure she had enough talismans for self-preservation and attack. If anything truly went wrong, it would buy her enough time to rush back.

Although the black wolf was not the mastermind, his instruction to Xiao Qi to deceive female university students was an established fact. Wen Yunqing contacted her team members, sent the address in the group chat, and asked the nearest one to take over and check on Xiao Qi’s location afterward.

Wen Yunqing was lucky. Huang Shu was operating nearby. After seeing his captain’s instructions, he arrived at the scene in less than ten minutes.

“Hiss, you are…” Huang Shu was startled upon seeing the black wolf. Seeing that he had lost his front left leg and had been forced back to his original form, he felt even more admiration for Wen Yunqing.

“He has no means of resistance now. Bring him back to the Special Affairs Department,” Wen Yunqing said. “Where is the motorcycle I asked you to bring?”

“Captain, it’s right outside, here are the keys,” Huang Shu offered the motorcycle keys even more attentively.

Wen Yunqing took the keys, quickly started the motorcycle, and rushed toward the last known location of Xiao Qi.

Meanwhile, Wen Yimeng, who had just finished her call, ran into a small problem. A very narcissistic man approached her, rambling on about various things, just to ask for her WeChat.

Wen Yimeng’s lifelong upbringing kept her from flipping the table right away, so she half-heartedly gave him her WeChat, planning to block him once he left.

Unexpectedly, after getting her WeChat, the man assumed Wen Yimeng was attracted to him and sat down opposite her with even more fervor, beginning to boast about himself.

If you see anything suspicious, you can use the talisman I gave you.

Wen Yimeng suddenly recalled Wen Yunqing’s recent words. She then pulled out the Immobilization Talisman that Wen Yunqing had given her from her pocket, preparing to use it as instructed.

Just then, the man sitting opposite her seemed to notice something. The expression on his face suddenly changed, and regardless of the other customers around, he stood up and lunged toward Wen Yimeng.

Wen Yimeng reacted quickly, slap! She plastered the talisman onto the man’s face, and then, using the technique she learned during military training, she kicked the man’s private parts.

The man’s face changed drastically again. He felt his pain level was now a ten, but because of the talisman, he could only maintain that awkward posture, allowing tears to stream from his eyes.

“What a waste,” a refined man wearing glasses appeared. He first glanced at the man with disdain, then showed a friendly smile to Wen Yimeng.

“My beautiful lady, can I ask you to forget the unpleasantness just now and come with me?” the man with glasses said with a smile. Judging solely by his appearance, he was very harmless and even looked very friendly.

However, Wen Yimeng had already silently grasped the Heavenly Thunder Talisman in her hand—three of them, to be exact.
