Chapter 22: Luring the Soul
When Sun Chushan heard Qin Shimiao's question, he smiled coldly:
"Don't even think about forcing a confession out of me, because I anticipated the possibility of failure, so I was prepared!"

After he finished speaking, a streak of black blood suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It turned out that he had hidden a wax pill of poison in his teeth, and he had bitten through the wax shell while he was talking, allowing the poison to enter his stomach.

Qin Shimiao saw the black blood at the corner of his mouth, and his pupils suddenly contracted. After a pause of a few seconds, a sneer appeared on his face:
"You don't think that death will solve all problems, do you?"

At this time, Sun Chushan's face was covered with a dark aura, and he slowly collapsed.

After hearing Qin Shimiao's words, Sun Chushan suddenly seemed to think of something, and an extremely resentful and angry expression appeared on his face.

But before Qin Shimiao could say anything, the paintbrush in his hand suddenly stabbed out and pierced his throat in an instant.

The brush brought out a streak of blood.

Qin Shimiao twisted his wrist and suddenly drew a talisman on Sun Chushan's face with the blood from the tip of the pen.

The writing of this talisman was messy and sloppy, and Su Yu had no idea what it meant, but Qin Shimiao completed it in one go.

After drawing the talisman in one stroke, Qin Shimiao picked up the brush and pointed it at the center of Sun Chushan's eyebrows. The silver thread at the tip of the brush pierced Sun Chushan's eyebrows, and then he slowly moved the brush.

The tip of the brush slowly drew a translucent shadow from between Sun Chushan's eyebrows.

This shadow was like a crab shedding its shell, pulled out from between Sun Chushan's eyebrows by the brush and separated from his body.

The shadow floated into the air, and it was exactly the same as Sun Chushan's image, except that its body was black and translucent, its face was numb, and its dark eyes seemed to have no life at all.

Qin Shimiao pointed at Sun Chushan's ghost with his pen. The black cat suddenly jumped onto his shoulder and opened its mouth to make a deep sound:

"Sun Chushan!"

Sun Chushan's ghost slowly raised his head and looked at the black cat with lifeless eyes.

"How did you know that Qin Shimiao had lost her virginity?"

"Someone told me..."

The voice of Sun Chushan's ghost was slow and low, like a dream talk.

"who is it?"

"I have no idea……"

The black cat's eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce:

"Why don't you know?"

"I have never seen that person. I just found a note on the desk at home. It said that Qin Shimiao has lost his virginity and his strength has been greatly reduced. If you don't believe it, you can try it!"

Sun Chushan's ghost looked at the black cat blankly and said slowly:
"I killed Qin Shimiao's apprentice as a test. Through the test, I also found that Qin Shimiao's strength was indeed far behind that of the Five Lamps Demon Painter. I knew that he must have lost his virginity as the note said!"

Black Cat and Qin Shimiao looked at each other.

Qin Shimiao realized that Sun Chushan didn't know the identity of the messenger, and there was nothing valuable to be gained by asking further. He felt very annoyed, so he shouted:

"Where did you hide my disciple's body?"

When Sun Chushan's ghost heard Qin Shimiao's voice, he suddenly became extremely excited and screamed excitedly:
"Qin Shimiao, you killed me, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

As he roared, his translucent body suddenly turned red:
"I just don't accept it. Why have you been suppressing me all these years? You and I became demon painters in the same year, so why are you always one step ahead of me? Why did you light up the five soul lamps first? And why did Shen Qingcheng let you take charge of the Demon Slaying Division and manage all the soul paintings on his behalf..."

"Someone told me that you have lost your virginity, so I will naturally seize the opportunity to test you. Killing your apprentice can not only cripple one of your arms, but also test your strength. How can I not do it!"

"It's hateful that Shen Qingcheng remained indifferent to my secret report. It's really hateful!"

"I have hidden your disciple's body. I killed him but you couldn't find the body. Haha..." When it said this, its body had turned bright red, as if it had transformed from a ghost into a fierce ghost.

It turns out that this technique of summoning souls to interrogate a case must be performed by an unrelated person, such as Qin Shimiao's black cat.

But Qin Shimiao's sudden question made Sun Chushan's ghost feel resentful and would soon transform into an evil ghost.

Qin Shimiao snorted coldly, took out a piece of drawing paper from his arms with his left hand, and quickly moved the brush in his right hand across the paper, outlining the outline of Sun Chushan in an instant.

With the last two strokes of the brush, Sun Chushan's soul instantly turned into a red light in the air and was sucked into the drawing paper.

Qin Shimiao rolled up the drawing paper and handed it to Su Yu:
"Keep this soul painting. The soul power in the demon painter's soul painting is also very strong!"

Su Yu took the soul painting and said nothing.

He felt very uncomfortable because he was used as bait to lure Sun Chushan out.

Qin Shimiao glanced at him and suddenly sighed:

"Don't blame Master. If it weren't for this, Sun Chushan wouldn't have shown up at all, and my strength has indeed been damaged. I can only use your hand!"

"Since we are master and disciple, I will not watch you get killed!"

Su Yu sighed in his heart and nodded silently.

To put it another way, if he were Qin Shimiao, there would really be no better way.

Moreover, although Qin Shimiao used him as bait, he also helped him get the sixteen soul paintings, and he did show up immediately when Sun Chushan appeared, instead of leaving him in danger.

"Master..."

Su Yu thought for a moment and said:
"The person who told Sun Chushan the secret of your virginity loss was probably after the soul painting of the Demon Slayer Division!"

From the conversation when Sun Chushan was summoned for questioning, Su Yu already knew the details of the matter.

The person hiding in the dark and informing Sun Chushan that Qin Shimiao had lost her virginity was most likely trying to destroy the Demon Slaying Division while Sun Chushan and Qin Shimiao were fighting.

The Chief of the Demon Slaying Division, Shen Qingcheng, led a group of Division masters to Linchuan. Only a few people including Qin Shimiao, Sun Chushan, Qu Fengshan were left in the division, and Qin Shimiao was in charge of all the soul paintings in the division.

Then the other party's purpose is obviously to obtain the soul painting of the Demon Slayer Bureau!

Qin Shimiao nodded:
"I've thought of this, but the soul paintings in the company are handed in every once in a while, so there aren't many soul paintings in the company right now, and there aren't many extremely rare items either."

"If the other party wants the soul painting, it is likely that the gain will outweigh the loss!"

"Since the other party is very clear about my loss of virginity and is also very aware of the discord between me and Sun Chushan, he must be someone who knows the Demon Slaying Division very well and will definitely know about this!"

Su Yu was silent for a moment and said:
"Then I only have one question, but I don't know if Master is willing to tell me."

Qin Shimiao glanced at him and suddenly sighed:

"Don't ask me about this, because I won't tell you."

"However, I can tell you that I lost my virginity voluntarily, and the person who lost my virginity has nothing to do with the Demon Slaying Division or even the Dasheng court!"

Having said this, he suddenly looked up at the night sky, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes:

"She is just an ordinary, gentle and beautiful person. She will not and should not be involved in this matter!"

Su Yu looked at his expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that Master is really in love.

This expression is exactly the same as that of a young boy who is falling in love!
When a forty-year-old virgin boy suddenly finds true love, it's like a fire in an old house, it's out of control!
