Fox Demon Crossing

Chapter 144: Urban Romance: Mysterious Consultant and Hidden Demon

Since Wang Xiaoer disappeared, the strength of the Criminal Police Team of the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau has declined significantly. Team leader Niu Gang personally went out to find Wang Xiaoer's whereabouts and even sought help from the folk eccentric Huang Jiu.

"Mr. Huang Jiu, can you sense the location of Wang Xiaoer?" Niu Gang asked seriously.

Huang Jiu, although not a true fortune-teller, has only recently become famous for his special perception ability. He cannot make inferences, but he can find clues through special observation methods.

"Mr. Huang Jiu said that Wang Xiaoer was in a very safe place, but he did not reveal the specific location." Ms. Black Fox paused and continued, "Later, Captain Niu invited Huang Jiu to serve as the police's supernatural consultant to assist in handling some abnormal cases."

Jin Renfeng was not surprised by this and motioned for her to continue.

"Captain Niu made a phone call at noon today, and then Huang Jiu left with his disciples and two assistants. He has not returned yet."

"Is there any other situation?" Jin Renfeng asked.

"No, but this city is really complicated, especially at night, all kinds of strange creatures appear."

As night falls, the lights are on.

In the restaurant, a waiter brought a bowl of nourishing soup that had been boiled for six hours, and said to Jin Renfeng respectfully, "Boss Jin, this is the six-whip health-preserving soup I carefully stewed for you. Please try it."

"What's in here?" Jin Renfeng asked with interest.

The little fox replied proudly, "There are bull whips, donkey whips, horse whips, deer whips, and sheep whips. I wanted to make you a tonic soup, but unfortunately the ingredients available in the market are limited, so I can only get five of them together."

After saying that, she sighed with a hint of regret.

Jin Renfeng smiled slightly, picked up the spoon and tasted it gently. The taste was indeed good. He glanced at a piece of meat in the bowl, took a closer look, and couldn't help but stare at the little fox: "Is this your tail?!"

The little fox stuck out his tongue and said playfully, "The names sound similar."

Jin Renfeng smiled helplessly, and only after confirming that the so-called "sheep whips" and "ox whips" were actually the tails of little foxes did he enjoy them with peace of mind.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, Jin Renfeng noticed that Ms. Black Fox was swallowing her saliva at the hot steam coming from the dishes, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiao Hei, when did you start to have this hobby?"

"...I am surprised by what I have seen." Ms. Black Fox responded in a sarcastic tone: "These foods have no taste to me, but I..."

She changed the subject and smiled slyly: "What I tasted was not the food, but the affection the little fox had for you. That was the taste of emotion."

"This kind of emotional taste is the most memorable." Ms. Black Fox took a breath with satisfaction and said with emotion: "I haven't tasted this kind of taste for a long time."

The little fox blushed, nervously grasped the hem of her skirt, lowered her head and dared not look directly at Jin Renfeng.

Jin Renfeng paused while picking up the food, then continued eating calmly, and teased, "Xiao Hei, have you been itching lately? Do you need me to scratch it for you?"

Ms. Black Fox curled her lips and stopped talking.

The little fox seemed a little lost, but she quickly cheered up and swore to herself: sooner or later, she would let Jin Renfeng feel her sincerity.

Jin Renfeng glanced at Ms. Black Fox who was watching the show on the side, and wondered why this woman didn't tell the little fox that she was a family person?

Jin Renfeng felt a headache at this moment. Looking at the little fox's appearance, he really couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm. However, a short pain is worse than a long one, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

As Jin Renfeng lowered his head and concentrated on his meal, he did not notice the subtle light flashing in Ms. Black Fox's eyes...

At the same time, Huang Jiu and Guo Mi, who had been missing for a long time, finally returned. They were in tattered clothes, and Huang Jiu had a bruised face. The two of them limped as they pushed open the door and walked into the house. A foul odor hit them in the face.

The little fox frowned and covered his nose, scolding: "Did you two fall into the manure pit? It's so smelly, can't you see that Mr. Jin is having a meal?!"

"Is there still a smell?" Guo Mi sniffed his arm in confusion: "No, I didn't smell it. We have washed it several times at the police station."

"Ahem... Stupid disciple, you will be able to smell it when you reach a certain level of cultivation." Huang Jiu explained: "This smell cannot be removed by simply washing a few times."

"Those weasels are quite capable. I don't think the smell will go away for a few days."

The corner of Jin Renfeng's mouth twitched slightly, and he whispered an order: "Stand there and don't move."

The next moment, a ball of fire instantly surrounded Huang Jiu and Guo Mi, causing them to close their eyes instinctively. However, to their surprise, the fire only wrapped around them, and other than bringing a little warmth, it did not cause any harm to them.

The flame continued to burn for a few seconds before going out on its own, taking away the odor on their bodies.

"Come in, what are you doing standing outside?" Jin Renfeng said.

As he finished speaking, two ghosts floated in from the doorway with their heads lowered. Jin Renfeng noticed that their ghost energy was severely depleted.

He didn't pay much attention to them, but picked up a napkin to wipe his lips, and then asked: "Tell me what happened to you."

"Senior, let me tell you." Guo Mi volunteered. Through his vivid description with gestures, Jin Renfeng roughly understood what happened.

Recently, there have been frequent cases of missing children in the mountain villages surrounding the imperial capital. Although the police have been investigating, they have never been able to catch the traffickers.

Today, another parent reported that their child was missing. Since Officer Niu Gang had seen Huang Jiu's abilities, he asked him to help find the missing child.

Now that Huang Jiu is the supernatural consultant of the police station, it is naturally his duty.

Just in case, Huang Jiu also brought Zhang Yixin and two ghosts named Wang Jie with him. In fact, the main purpose was to support him.

With these two ghosts by his side, the image of Huang Jiu, the master of metaphysics, will undoubtedly surpass that of the annoying Master Zhuge in the eyes of ordinary people.

This can perhaps be seen as a silent competition between the two.

At first, the two sides were equally strong and disliked each other.

In order to suppress the other party, Huang Jiu took the clothes of the missing child at the scene and immediately demonstrated his special ability - the third eye perspective.

Sure enough, he really found a clue. The trace of the missing children pointed to a village on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

There, they found several human traffickers and kidnapped children. However, in the process of fighting with these human traffickers, they were surprised to find that these human traffickers were actually weasels disguised as humans!

They thought that their current strength was more than enough to deal with a few weasel spirits, but they didn't expect that those weasel spirits would use tricks.

They set a trap, causing Huang Jiu and his group to accidentally fall into it. Not only did they almost die, but they were also stinking from the weasel's fart...
