Chapter 140: The Monster Catcher Must Also Work Hard to Pass the Imperial Examination Today 9

"Gu Shitou, please don't sleep! Your little fox is going to kill someone!"

In this world, monsters that kill people are uniformly considered dangerous, and basically no monster catcher will let them go.

The system woke Gu Ling up in a hurry. Gu Ling didn't have time to put on his coat and took a shortcut out of the window and left the room.

Gu Ling followed the evil spirit to the backyard, where a strong smell of blood filled his nose. Under the pale moonlight, the blood-stained fox paws looked eerie and terrifying.

She grabbed Shen Li's arm and pulled him up, her voice a little angry: "Shen Li, what are you doing?"

Shen Li's claws suddenly turned into hands, and his white hands were stained with blood.

"pat-"

Blood dripped from fingertips to the ground, and endless panic exploded.

The goblin's identity was discovered, and Gu Ling also saw his brutal side.

How to do?How to do?

Shen Li was in a panic. At this moment, he was not worried about whether Gu Ling would tell the monster catcher that he was a monster after his identity was exposed, but whether Gu Ling would be afraid of him, or... abandon him.

He knew how good Gu Ling was to him, and he considered Gu Ling a friend.

Shen Li remained silent the whole time. Gu Ling's eyes turned cold, thinking that Shen Li's wild nature was hard to change, but he still decided to give him a chance to explain.

"You want to kill him, why?"

The purpose of Qingyun Mountain: evil demons must be eliminated and scum must be killed.

This is what every disciple of Qingyun Mountain practices throughout their life.

As a demon catcher, as long as Gu Ling does not leave Qingyun Mountain, she is still a part of Qingyun Mountain and will not tolerate demons that kill people for no reason.

Shen Li had never seen Gu Ling so cold before. Panic took over his mind. He finally spoke tremblingly: "I didn't... I didn't want to kill him..."

Seeing that his eyes were clear and he didn't look like he was lying or out of his mind, Gu Ling relaxed a little.

She let go of Shen Li and said in a cold voice: "Go back to your room and don't let others see you like this." The look of having blood on his hands.

Shen Li's hands trembled, and he instinctively wanted to grab the corner of Gu Ling's clothes, but he paused when he saw the blood on his hands.

"Brother Gu..."

"go back."

Shen Li pursed her lips, turned and left.

Only then did Gu Ling have the mind to look at Zhao Xi on the ground.

Zhao Xi's face had swollen like a pig's head, but the worst part was his body, which was covered with claw marks and blood.

Although there were no vital injuries, he might die from excessive blood loss if the time went on.

Gu Ling fed him medicine to make sure all the injuries on his body disappeared, but he ignored his face that was swollen like a pig's head.

She raised her hand, and the bloodstains on the ground disappeared. She stared at the claw marks on Zhao Xi's clothes for a while, and finally used her spiritual power to turn them into ashes.

The claw marks look abnormal. Although this is just an ordinary small town, there is no telling whether there will be monster catchers or monster hunters passing by. It is better to be cautious.

Now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, even that stupid fox Shen Li would not do such a cruel thing for no reason. Maybe Zhao Xi was tempted by her beauty and was taught a lesson.

Besides, no one would recognize Zhao Xi's face now, so it would be fine for him to lie down for a night.

Zhao Xi was lying on the ground wearing only a pair of underwear. Gu Ling ignored him and turned back to the room.

Pushing open the door, Shen Li was standing in the corner with his head lowered, thinking about his mistakes. His posture was a little strange, with his hands stretched straight forward with undried blood on them, which was quite creepy.

Gu Ling closed the door, folded his arms and leaned against the door, looking sideways at him: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Shen Li didn't move, but her voice came over: "I'm not a human, I'm a fox spirit."

Gu Ling: "...Say something else."

In line with the principle of leniency to those who confess and severity to those who resist, Shen Li continued to confess.

"My name is Shen Li. I live in Fox Mountain. I am 273 years old this year. Red foxes become adults at the age of 200. The clan leader said that I cannot stay in Fox Mountain forever and asked me to go down the mountain to find a scholar as a partner. That is why I am staying in the ruined temple. I have 1,342 sisters and several female elders in my family. There is no preference for boys over girls, and I do not need to dig wild vegetables..."

"Stop!" Gu Ling felt his head buzzing. "I'm asking why you wanted to kill Zhao Xi."

Shen Li felt a little aggrieved: "We only injured him a little, but didn't kill him. The sisters said that as long as he wasn't injured in the vital parts, he wouldn't die."

Then his tone suddenly became heated: "He actually dared to say bad things about you! He is a bad guy! He must be punished!"

Gu Ling didn't expect this to be the reason. His first thought was: It's not that the little fox is hard to tame, it's just that the means of punishing people are a bit too bloody and severe.

Gu Ling opened the door and went out, and came back soon.

She put the basin down and said, "Come and wash your hands."

Shen Li walked over slowly with his hands stretched forward. Gu Ling said, "What's the posture like that? Walk properly."

"No."

Hey! I'm getting bolder and I can talk back.

Gu Ling then heard Shen Li say: "It will dirty your clothes."

Shen Li sniffed. The vixen's identity was exposed and she could hurt people. Brother Gu would definitely not want him anymore and would not buy him new clothes.

Gu Ling lost his temper at Shen Li's series of actions. He grabbed his wrist and put it into the basin, and the blood spread in the clear water.

Shen Li pulled his hand back, but was held tightly by Gu Ling.

Gu Ling washed both of his hands carefully and wiped each finger with a dry cloth. His serious and patient look made Shen Li's fear dissipate little by little.

"I'm a monster, aren't you afraid?"

"Heh." Gu Ling chuckled, "I'm afraid. I didn't keep an eye on you and you ran out and hurt someone. I guess I have to keep you on my belt from now on to prevent you from causing trouble for me."

He whispered back, "I'm not wrong."

"Why bother with a man like Zhao Xi? Just give him a small punishment and a big warning. He can't stand your methods. I don't care what he does, but after you kill someone, you will inevitably be targeted by other demon catchers. It will be very troublesome to protect you."

Shen Li grasped the key point: "Will you protect me?"

Gu Ling played a trick: "You will if you listen."

Shen Li nodded repeatedly and finally smiled. Her peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with nectar, and just looking at her made people feel sweet to the heart.

Gu Ling patted his head and said, "Okay, you've been busy for so long, go and have a rest, we still have to travel tomorrow."

Shen Li said softly: "I want to sleep here."

Gu Zhengren Gentleman Ling refused: "No, men and women should not touch each other."

Gu Ling still remembered that she had announced to the public that Shen Li was her sister. If someone saw the two of them leaving the same room the next day, wouldn't she be considered a beast in human clothing?

Shen Li was locked outside the door. He thought gloomily: Men and women should not touch each other, but he is a man, and Brother Gu is also a man, so logically they should be able to kiss each other.

Otherwise, he should tell Brother Gu that he is actually a male fox, so that he can sleep in the same room with Brother Gu.

but……

Brother Gu said that nowadays, few scholars like men. He couldn't find a scholar who could be his partner. If he didn't dress up as a woman, it would be even harder for him to find one.

At this moment, her mission as a vixen and her desire to sleep in the same room with Gu Ling came into conflict.

Shen Li fell into a deep sleep with such confusion.

The next day, Gu Ling opened the door and was startled by Shen Li who was sitting at the door: "Why are you here?"

Shen Li stood up: "I got up early."

He was carrying his own bag, which contained the clothes that Gu Ling had given him.

There was a hemp rope around his waist and he held one end of the rope in his hand. Seeing Gu Ling looking at him, he handed the rope to Gu Ling.

Gu Ling: "What do you mean?"

Shen Li said sincerely: "Yesterday you said you were afraid I would get into trouble and wanted to tie me to your belt. I thought about it and realized that I am too big to be tied to your belt, so I found a rope."

Gu Ling pinched his face, his eyes full of smiles: "What's in your head? Why do you believe everything?"

Shen Li stood still obediently and waited for Gu Ling's hand to leave before speaking.

"I only listen to my sisters and you."

Gu Ling smiled and reached out to untie the knot around Shen Li's waist.

Shen Li's waist was originally thin, and the rope was tied tightly, making her waist look even slender.

When Gu Ling was untying the knot, his thoughts were a little scattered. He inexplicably felt that he was not untying a knot, but a belt.

Stop! Stop! It would be rude to think any further.

Gu Ling coughed lightly: "Since you are so obedient, you don't have to tie it on your belt."

"Oh."

Was it an illusion? Why did she feel that this "oh" had a hint of disappointment?

She stared at Shen Li for a while, until Shen Li looked at her with a puzzled look, then she looked away.

Well, it was indeed an illusion.
