Chapter 171 Knocking on the Door in the Dead of Night

The fox demon didn't even have time to react before being struck head-on by this terrifying force.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the fox demon suffered a severe injury to its waist. Its body, like a kite with a broken string, bent into a V-shape at an eerie angle and flew straight away.

The fox demon's body slammed into the psychic barrier set up by Li Qing like a cannonball, producing a dull thud.

The fox demon's body slid slowly down the psychic barrier, finally crashing heavily to the ground.

Without the support of the psychic barrier, the entire body instantly became limp, as if all the bones in the body had fallen apart.

At the same time, a strong, nauseating stench of blood permeated the cube.

The fox demon's mouth was wide open, and a large amount of blood gushed out like a spring, mixed with fragments of broken internal organs.

The blood and pieces of internal organs splattered on the surrounding ground, forming a gruesome pool of blood.

The fox demon's life force was draining away at an alarming rate; its breathing became weaker and weaker, and its heartbeat was almost stopping.

Clearly, the fox demon had reached the end of her life.

Its demonic power had long been exhausted, and its internal organs had suffered extremely serious damage. Now it was beyond saving and was only left with its last breath to prolong its life.

With a compassionate heart, not wanting the fox demon to suffer any more pain, Miss Duan threw the Unpredictable Flying Ring in her hand, striking the fox demon's head.

With a "smack," the Unfixed Flying Ring smashed the fox demon's head, ending her sinful life.

Seeing the dead fox demon, Madam Li's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"call!"

"This fox demon is really not easy to deal with."

Miss Duan muttered something under her breath, and the blood-stained Unbound Flying Ring flew back into her hand on its own.

Miss Duan didn't care about the demon blood on the Wuding Flying Ring. She pulled up the red cloth at her waist and wiped away the bloodstains. Then the Wuding Flying Ring shrank back and was put on Miss Duan's wrist.

Standing in front of the side room, Madam Li watched Miss Duan's movements and couldn't help but recall the first time she saw Miss Duan, when she saw the red cloth around her waist covered in stains. She realized that those stains were from that cloth.

"Madam Li, I have accomplished my mission! Now that the fox demon has been eliminated, you no longer need to worry about Young Master Li being in any danger."

"We owe everything to you, Miss Duan. If it weren't for your help, our whole family would probably have fallen victim to that fox demon." Madam Li's eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Madam Li, you flatter me. Exorcising demons is the duty of every demon hunter, especially since the Li family has contributed funds," Miss Duan said with a slight smile and a humble tone.

"In any case, we really owe a lot to Miss Duan this time." Madam Li nodded repeatedly.

"Miss Duan, it's getting late. I'll have the servants heat some hot water for you to take a bath, then you can go inside and rest. Once you're rested, I'll have someone deliver the silver to you tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Li."

Miss Duan had just finished expressing her gratitude when she saw the fox demon's corpse behind her and said, "By the way, Madam Li, the fox demon's body must be properly disposed of. It's best to burn it completely. Don't just throw it away."

"Huan'er, arrange for a few people to burn the fox demon's corpse later, and also clean up the young master's courtyard."

"Okay, ma'am."

"Qing'er, you should get some rest too."

......

Tens of minutes later.

With the servants of the Li family busy at work, Li Qing's villa has been almost completely cleaned up, and the hot water for Miss Duan's bath has been prepared.

Inside Miss Duan's room, a joyful smile appeared on her face as she looked at the bucket of steaming hot water in front of her.

For an exorcist who spends most of his time traveling, such a comfortable and warm living environment is extremely rare.

After all, living conditions were very difficult on a daily basis. Let alone having enough hot water to take a bath like this, it was not easy to even find a place to take a bath.

Most of the time, she could only find a deserted stream or river and quickly wash herself.

Where else can one find such comfort and ease as at the Li residence?

Thinking of this, Miss Duan couldn't help but laugh again. She was indeed a little tired from dealing with the fox demon, so she decided to take a bath to relax her tired body and mind.

Miss Duan had just taken off her short jacket and hadn't even had time to hang it up when there was a soft knock on the door.

Although the knocking wasn't loud, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet atmosphere. Upon hearing the sound, Miss Duan stopped what she was doing and rolled her eyes.

It's so late, who else in the Li household besides Li Qing would be knocking on her door?

Miss Duan placed the short jacket on the table beside her, walked to the door, and opened it.

As expected, it was Li Qing when the door was opened.

"My dear young master Li, what brings you to the office so late? Are you perhaps thinking of women?"

Miss Duan raised an eyebrow and said teasingly.

Li Qing didn't dislike Miss Duan's carefree and easygoing nature; she thought it was fine, that she was genuine and unpretentious.

"I need to talk to you about something. Won't you invite me in?"

"Look at what you're saying. This is the Li residence, your territory, Young Master Li."

Despite saying that, Miss Duan still turned to the side and made room for her.

"Young Master Li, you'd better hurry up and tell me what's on your mind, or my bathwater will get cold."

Upon entering Miss Duan's room, Li Qing casually pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "Miss Duan, now that the fox demon has been eliminated, you should be leaving the Li residence tomorrow after collecting your reward, right?"

"From what you're saying, it sounds like you're hoping I'll leave as soon as possible?"

"hehe!"

"Is that really what you think?"

"Just kidding." Miss Duan smiled and said, "The fox demon in the Li family has been eliminated, so I should leave now. Besides, I'm not actually exorcising demons alone. I have a team waiting for me to return outside the city."

Thinking back to her five eccentric and mischievous teammates, a warm and doting smile appeared on Ms. Duan's face.

Although those guys weren't very powerful, they stayed by her side through thick and thin.

No matter how difficult the challenges or how dangerous the situation, they stood by her side without complaint, doing everything they could to help and support her.

It is no exaggeration to say that for Ms. Duan, these five teammates have long transcended the scope of ordinary friends or companions. Their friendship is incredibly deep, as close as a family.

Then she heard Li Qing speak.

"Didn't I say I wanted to become the world's greatest exorcist?"
