Chapter 10: Yellow Fairy, Black Cat

Su Yu himself didn't know any sword moves, so when he saw the young lady's ten sharp fingertips reaching towards him, he had to instinctively block with his sword.

Chacha...

After the young lady's fingers were hit by the peach wood sword, several of her nails broke off and several black gases emerged from the broken fingers.

Su Yu then threw a punch, but his fist hit the young lady's chest.

Although there was a large sandbag as a cushion, Su Yu's punch still sent her flying backwards, and her body slammed into the wall behind her.

Before she could get up from the ground, Su Yu rushed over and stabbed her heart with the peach wood sword.

puff!
The blunt and edgeless peach wood sword pierced her body in an instant and nailed her corpse to the wall.

A black gas quickly rose from the place where the young lady was stabbed, and she let out a sharp roar from her mouth, as shrill and sharp as a small beast that was about to be killed!
Her face kept changing, sometimes she looked like the young lady, and sometimes she turned into the appearance of Wong Tai Sin with a yellow face and sharp teeth.

Su Yu quickly turned around, grabbed the paintbrush and started painting on the paper.

One stroke outlines the figure, and a few strokes detail the face.

Draw the shape with cinnabar and draw the soul into the paper!
While he was painting, the black cat was watching him intently on the beam, with a gleam in its eyes.

In an instant, a soul painting was completed.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void, and the Record of Demonic Behavior appeared in the air.

But it was obvious that only Su Yu could see this record of demonic deeds. The cat's eyes on the beam were still flickering back and forth between the young lady's corpse and the soul painting in front of Su Yu.

The Record of Demonic Acts unfolded, and the image of Wong Tai Sin with a slender body, a rat-like face and a rat-like appearance quietly emerged on the blank page.

However, this Wong Tai Sin stood upright like a human, with a human head on its head, which made it look a bit scary like a human.

【Huangxian】

[Beast monster, yellow grade three]

[Good at possessing souls, charming minds, narrow-minded, and extremely vengeful! ]

[After completing your practice, you can place a human bone on your head and ask for a title from others. If you are praised, you can become an immortal! ]

As a few lines of small characters appeared next to the portrait, a chime sound suddenly rang out in the scroll.

Good price for the heaven and earth...

A stream of light suddenly flew out from the scroll and instantly landed on Su Yu's head.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind was suddenly invaded and imprinted with unfamiliar knowledge.

[Soul-catching technique, can control ghosts! 】

The scarlet words appeared before my eyes:
[The number of ghosts you control depends on your own ability. The higher your ability, the more ghosts you can control! ]

Su Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

This time, what he gained from the Demonic Record turned out to be a skill.

Soul-snatching technique?
Does that mean you can control ghosts?
Without time to think, he quickly looked at the young lady's body.

But after the painting soul entered the paper, the young lady's body had already collapsed, but was still nailed to the wall by the peach wood sword. So she did not fall down.

Su Yu quickly pulled the peach wood sword out of her body, and then placed the young lady's body on the ground again.

When I looked up again, the black cat that was the culprit had disappeared.

What a cunning thief cat!

Su Yu couldn't help but shook his head, turned around and walked outside to fetch water to clean the peach wood sword and put it back to his waist, then rolled up the scroll, held it in his hand and walked out of the yard.

Outside the courtyard, Chen Shiguan was standing there anxiously.

He actually heard the noise in the yard, but he didn't dare to go in, and he didn't even have the courage to look through the crack of the door. Su Yu handed him the corpse painting scroll with Huang Xian in it and said:

"The young lady just pretended to be dead!"

When Chen Shiguan heard this, he turned pale with fright.

But although he was afraid, he also knew that since Su Yu was here safely, nothing serious must have happened, so he quickly smiled and said:
"It must be you, Mr. Su, who took action to resolve the issue. Thank you very much, sir!"

Su Yu nodded:

"It was settled, but it took a lot of effort."

After saying that, he stood there and looked at Chen Shiguan.

The subtext is, get the money quickly!
Chen Shiguan seemed to have just remembered something. He quickly patted his forehead, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and held it in front of Su Yu:
"Thank you, Mr. Su. This small amount of money is not a token of my respect!"

This ingot of silver should be worth fifty taels, which is considered a considerable extra income.

But Su Yu did not put it away immediately, but looked at Chen Shiguan and said:

"How much would you give if you invited Mr. Qin to come?"

Su Yu’s meaning was very clear.

Although Mr. Qin sent me here, I actually came here on his behalf, so you can't pay me the same as you would an ordinary corpse painter!
Chen Shiguan's expression was a little awkward for a moment, but he quickly put on a smile, took out three more ingots of silver from his pocket, and respectfully placed them in front of Su Yu:

"Mr. Xiao Su, this is a thank-you gift to Mr. Qin. Please say a few good words for him when you go back!"

A smile appeared on Su Yu's face. He put the four silver bars in his arms, turned around and walked out the door.

I had just taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a cat's meow.

Looking back, I saw the black cat flash past the top of the wall.

Su Yu frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

……

After a while, Su Yu returned to the Demon Slaying Division.

Qin Shimiao was sitting in the room reserved for demon painters, holding an ancient book in his hands and reading it.

Su Yu walked to the door and saw that it was wide open, but she did not rush in immediately. Instead, she knocked on the door frame twice, and after Qin Shimiao looked up at her, she saluted and stood at the door and said:
"Sir, I'm back!"

Qin Shimiao nodded:
"How did things go?"

Su Yu walked up to Qin Shimiao and said:
"It's been done. Although the young lady was pounced on by a cat and revived, luckily I pinned it down with a peach wood sword. At least the reputation of our Demon Slayer Division has not been tarnished!"

After saying this, he took out the four ingots of silver from his arms and respectfully placed them in front of Qin Shimiao:
"The Chen family gave this money, please accept it, sir."

Qin Shimiao didn't even look at the four ingots of silver. He looked up at Su Yu with a smile on his face:
"You did a great job, go back first!"

"Yes, sir!"

Su Yu turned around and left Qin Shimiao's room.

Not long after he left, a dark shadow flashed outside the door, and a nimble black cat with a body as black as ink suddenly flashed in and jumped onto Qin Shimiao's desk.

Qin Shimiao reached out and gently stroked the black cat's head:

"how?"

Under Qin Shimiao's control, the black cat was no longer as weird and ferocious as it was in Chen's house. It looked very gentle and docile, and suddenly spoke like a human:

"This kid is pretty good, he's brave and knowledgeable, he can stay calm in times of danger. Although he doesn't know any magic yet, he was able to nail Huang Xian to death with a peach wood sword, it seems like he has some basic skills!"

"The money that Chen Shiguan gave him is indeed all here, which shows that he is an honest man!"
