Jingjia said, and walked towards the door, but Shi Lingyu did not follow him, but whispered behind him:

"Jiujiang, you seem to be a little different from before. In the past, you would never meddle in such nosy matters, especially the nosy matters of the Third Division. Wouldn't you get into trouble?"

Did I act too proactively? Sansi's busy business? Jingji stopped and turned his head with a natural expression, as if he was just having a family affair.

"Then do you think the me before was better, or the me now?"

Jingjia asked tentatively. He couldn't remain in that cold state all the time. He had such a relaxed and happy personality. It was actually quite uncomfortable to pretend to be cold all the time.

"How can I put it, it's not bad, you used to be too cold, but now you have a bit of a human touch."

"It's interesting, that's good."

…

The two of them arrived on the first floor of the inn one after another. A large number of tables and chairs had been destroyed. A member of the Demon Subduing Division who had entered the Thorn Room before was leaning against the wall with his stomach in his hands.

Blood continued to flow from his fingertips. Sun Wukong and another person were also injured and were bandaging this man. However, the light in this man's eyes had gradually dimmed, and it seemed that he would not survive.

When Sun Wukong saw Jingji and Shi Lingyu coming down, he roared at Jingji as if the anger he had accumulated in his heart had found an outlet.

"Didn't I tell you not to come down? There are monsters here! Do you really care about human life? If you want to die, don't find this place for me."

Sun Wukong, who was already a bit emotionally broken, had a cry in his voice. It could be seen that Sun Wukong had a good relationship with his subordinates.

Thorns was not angry because of Sun Wukong's complaints and roars. He had other things that were more interesting to him than Sun Wukong.

The state of the thorns at this time was a bit strange. After smelling some blood on the ground, he was a little excited and hungry.

Naturally, what aroused his interest was not human blood, because Thorns had no interest at all in the injured members of the Demon Subduing Department on the side. The thing on the ground that excited him was demon blood. The monster was also injured.

"Lingyu, look at them. If there is anything you can do to help, please do so."

Shi Lingyu was stunned, what did Jingji mean?

"Are you alone? That Sun Wukong is a third-level warrior. That monster can kill one person and injure two others. It is at least a third-level monster. It is too dangerous for you to go by yourself."

Thorny shook his head: "Don't worry too much, that monster has been injured, I know it well."

Shi Lingyu knew that he could not persuade Jingji to decide what he had already decided, so he could only agree:

"Okay then, if something happens, just ring the bell."

"Know."

Seeing that Jingji was going out at this time, Sun Wukong stopped him again.

"Hey, don't you understand human language? You are just a mortal, why are you going out to die at this time?"

Sun Wukong's actions gave Jingjia some goodwill, and at this time he was still able to worry about Jingjia's life. This man was considered a kind person, at least he had a good heart.

Thorns did not look back, but just left a faint sentence.

"Master Sun, I will avenge your companion's revenge for you this time. When I join the Sun Moon Sect, we can have a good talk."

Sun Wukong was in a daze. In his opinion, Jingji's actions were undoubtedly sending him to death. He looked at Shi Lingyu who was standing aside.

"You are his guard, and you are not stopping him? Are today's guards allowed to ignore their master's safety?"

Shi Lingyu didn't reply immediately. If Sun Wukong hadn't been such a bad guy, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention.

As he watched the thorns leave, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. Only this kind of thorns fit the image of the perfect boss in his mind.

"He can handle it, just wait a while."

…

Jingji walked out of the inn door. Because the Sun Moon Sect was about to open its mountain gate, there were not many pedestrians on the street even at night.

Fortunately, Thorns could smell the monster's breath, so he would not lose his target in this crowded county.

He crossed the flow of people and came to a deserted alley.

The entrance to the alley was already overgrown with weeds, and several geckos were climbing out quickly from the depths of the alley. They were very frightened, and the breath of the injured monster was cut off here.

Looking at the dark alley, Thorns pressed the joints of his fingers and walked slowly into the alley.

"Click, click, click!"

Thorns kept snapping his knuckles to adjust his somewhat excited mood and put himself in a calm enough state.

"Meow!" Following the meow of a cat, Thorns finally saw the true face of this monster.

A pale catwoman was sitting on her knees next to a well.

She has a pair of erect ears, a pointed and slightly upturned nose, and a thin white beard at the corner of her mouth.

The fluffy tail was held in front of her body, covering her graceful figure and her tattered clothes. This scene was somewhat alluring.

Catwoman's eyes were a little stubborn, as if she had the awareness of death, staring at the thorns at the entrance of the alley, biting her lips tightly with her tiger teeth.

"I won't go with you!"

Jingjie raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not deliberately understand the specific meaning of this sentence, nor did he want to understand it. He stopped and Jingjie showed a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, Miss Cat, I'm not from the Fuyao Division, and I'm not here to catch you. You see, I don't even have any cultivation, how could I possibly hurt you? You think so, right?"

I just feel sorry for you and want to help you. I am a generous person and worthy of close friendship. If it is useful to get my little brother, just ask."

Thorns said, and took a few steps closer to Catwoman. Catwoman's previously stubborn eyes seemed to soften after hearing Thorns' words, and she said in a submissive voice:

"Young man, can I trust you?"

"Of course, I, JJ, never lie to others." JJ had a righteous look on his face.

Catwoman lowered her head, seeming to have put down her guard against the thorns.

"But I am a demon and you are a human. Humans and demons have different paths."

Thorny took advantage of this opportunity and stepped forward again, taking two steps with the light of righteousness on his face.

"There are two types of people I hate the most. One is racist, the other is Nico, and the other is people who can't count, so it doesn't matter if you are a monster."

Catwoman didn't quite understand what Nick meant, and Thorns said he hated two kinds of people the most. Why did he just say three?

She raised her eyebrows coquettishly and wanted to move her body, but she said "Ouch" and sat back down.

"My leg is injured, can you help me up?"

"OK."

Catwoman stretched out her hand to Thorns, and Thorns smiled and stretched out his hand. The distance between the human and the monster was extremely close.

At this time, a passerby holding a lamp happened to pass by at the entrance of the alley. The brief firelight illuminated the entire alley, and also reflected the reflections of Thorns and Catwoman.

It has a bumpy face full of filthy mucus, a pair of vertical pupils as long and narrow as a poisonous snake, and a tail covered with barbs that has extended along the shadow to the back of the thorns. This is an extremely ugly cat monster.

But the cat monster did not take action at this time, because the shadow of the thorn also turned into a blue-gray monster.

It has sharp claws, fangs, a long tail, and saliva that can almost dissolve the ground when it flows on the ground.
