Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 492 Demon Combination

"Don’t worry, how strong can a human really be?" The person on the sofa spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, filled with disdain.

Cheng Yongnan crawled forward, picked up the tongs from the ice bucket, clamped a few pieces of ice into a white jade cup, and then poured some crimson liquid from the white jade teapot on the table.

This was not wine, but fresh blood.

"The master is right, Qin Yi is just like an ant in front of you, you could crush him with just a finger."

The person on the sofa let out a few hoarse, eerie laughs, then stretched out a hand from the black robe to pick up the white jade cup filled with blood on the table.

If there were outsiders present, they would surely be scared to death. For what peeked out from the black robe wasn’t a hand, but a claw with five fingers, each about thirty centimeters long, sharp as daggers.

The most frightening thing was that the exposed segment of the arm looked like a piece of wood, more like a corpse preserved in formalin, with bulging muscles and intertwining veins, quite horrifying.

The terrifying claw carefully picked up the white jade cup, then withdrew back into the black robe. A slurping sound followed, indicating the blood in the cup had been drunk. Then came the crunching sounds as he chewed and swallowed the ice as well.

Cheng Yongnan’s body trembled slightly, bowing his head respectfully.

"Don’t show fear in front of me, or I’ll feel hungry." The hoarse voice echoed, tinged with the smell of blood.

Cheng Yongnan trembled all over, hurriedly saying: "The master’s might is unrivaled. In front of you, anyone can only submit in reverence. I am not afraid, only in awe."

The figure on the sofa laughed eerily: "You humans are indeed as weak as ants, serving no purpose other than to become food. But your flattery skills are exceptional."

"What I say comes from the heart, not flattery."

The person on the sofa chuckled: "Pour more. You humans are ignorant, selfish, weak, but you do know how to enjoy. This fresh blood with ice does taste quite good."

"If the master likes it, please drink more." Cheng Yongnan hurriedly poured another cup for the figure.

Adding ice was Cheng Yongnan’s idea, not for the taste, but to mask the smell of blood.

"This world truly is a wonderful hunting ground, with so much food, impossible to kill and eat it all." The person on the sofa savored the crimson blood, his words laced with cruelty.

Cheng Yongnan wore a humble expression: "The master is right, as long as you enjoy, I can ensure a continuous supply of fresh blood."

...

...

It was four in the morning when Cheng Yongnan finally left the bar with his bodyguards.

They got into the car and left straight away.

Little did they know, a figure stood tall in the sky, watching them coldly.

Qin Yi had been tracking them, certain that Cheng Yongnan had the support of the Soul-devouring Demon.

However, to Qin Yi’s surprise, Cheng Yongnan went straight home. Qin Yi followed silently, only to find Cheng Yongnan already resting.

Qin Yi furrowed his brow; if Cheng Yongnan had dealings with the Soul-devouring Demon, they would surely meet.

Bar?

Qin Yi’s eyes suddenly brightened, feeling regretful. The bar, a mix of fish and dragons, was the perfect hiding place; he had indeed been careless.

Qin Yi returned, entered the bar through a second-floor window.

By this time, the bar had cleared out, with nobody in the upstairs hallway.

Qin Yi sniffed; upon entering, he detected a faint scent of blood.

Following the scent, Qin Yi entered a private room, finding it empty.

Seeing the blood-stained white jade wine cup on the table, Qin Yi’s eyes instantly became sharp.

Moreover, he sensed the presence of the Soul-devouring Demon in the room, along with a very familiar scent he couldn’t immediately recall.

The Soul-devouring Demon feeds on human essence energy, why drink blood directly?

Earth Demon?

Suddenly, Qin Yi remembered, this familiar scent belonged to the Earth Demon.

That made sense.

The Soul-devouring Demon feeds on human essence energy, while the Earth Demon feeds on human flesh and blood.

Qin Yi’s expression turned icy.

It seemed the Soul-devouring Demon and Earth Demon had joined forces.

The Earth Demon, naturally bloodthirsty and powerful, but mindless, driven solely by flesh and blood like a zombie, focused only on food.

The Soul-devouring Demon, however, is sinister and devious, with a strong adaptability.

If these two demons combined, the strength of the Earth Demon and the craftiness of the Soul-devouring Demon would form a terrifying new being.

Qin Yi’s eyes were cold as he spoke: "Blood Flood Dragon, can you discern whose blood this is?"

The Blood Flood Dragon answered: "Master, this blood comes from a human, a maiden, and one who is a virgin."

Instantly, murder flashed in Qin Yi’s eyes.

Cheng Yongnan had collaborated with the Soul-devouring Demon and Earth Demon, these two demons were protecting Cheng Yongnan, and the wretch promised to provide sufficient food for them. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

The bar, with its diverse and mixed crowd, was indeed a good place for hunting.

"Blood Flood Dragon, the Soul-devouring Demon and Earth Demon must have been in this private room, can you track their whereabouts?"

He remembered when they were in Huahai City, the Blood Flood Dragon tracked the Earth Demon through the scent of blood.

"Master, I cannot track them."

"Hmm?" Qin Yi frowned.

The Blood Flood Dragon quickly explained: "If it were just the Earth Demon, this mindless demon leaves a lot of blood behind after feeding, making it easy to track. But with the addition of the Soul-devouring Demon, this cunning demon likely used some method to mask the blood scent on the Earth Demon."

Qin Yi’s gaze was cold and murderous.

His fears had come true, these two demons combined were indeed difficult to deal with.

In that case, the only breakthrough could be Cheng Yongnan.

Qin Yi left the private room, contemplating whether to catch Cheng Yongnan for questioning now.

But after thinking, he decided against it; with the Soul-devouring Demon’s cunning, Cheng Yongnan might not know their hiding place. Capturing Cheng Yongnan would only alert them.

It was too late, he’d have to decide tomorrow.

When Qin Yi returned home, it was already past five in the morning. He wanted to go to his room to sleep but decided to go to Yun Mengyao’s room and knock on her door.

Yun Mengyao understood these demons best, perhaps she could provide useful advice.

However, after knocking for a while, Yun Mengyao didn’t answer the door.

Qin Yi shook his head helplessly, this woman was definitely doing it on purpose.

Squeak!

He tried the door, it wasn’t locked, so he pushed it open and walked in, turning on the light as he did.

"Yun Mengyao, remember your status, as a maid, you should have..."

Qin Yi intended to startle her, but his words abruptly stopped halfway through. He expected a pillow or something thrown at him, but to his surprise, Yun Mengyao was sound asleep, her sleeping posture not quite appropriate.

She was wearing Xia Yanbing’s nightgown, thin and translucent, with an improper sleeping posture, revealing a glimpse of spring, which made Qin Yi’s nose feel a sudden heat.

Damn...

Qin Yi suddenly remembered, Yun Mengyao’s cultivation was sealed by him, making her an ordinary person. If her cultivation were intact, with her keen perception, she should have sensed him coming home.

It turned out she wasn’t ignoring him on purpose, but her cultivation being sealed, she hadn’t sensed him entering her room.
