Chapter 47: The Rabbit Demon Showcases Their Affection

"Uh, fellow daoist, I mean no harm. Please don't attack."

"I just wanted to ask if you happen to have seen a woman dressed in blue, and a man wearing a khaki top and black pants?"

Just as he landed outside the cave entrance, Jiang Xuan caught a whiff of a musky scent.

This musky scent carried an alluring, hedonistic aura, causing Jiang Xuan to subconsciously take two steps back.

Fortunately, after listening, the rabbit demon looked Jiang Xuan up and down and did not immediately make a move.

The only reason for this was that the rabbit demon himself was merely a tier-three grand demon.

If a fight broke out, who would live and who would die remained entirely unknown.

"Never seen them. I've been inside this cave all day. Even if someone passed by, I..."

"Oh? It seems that around noon, I did sense the faint aura of a tier-one grand demon."

"If I hadn't been busy with important matters at the time, I definitely would have come out of the cave to hunt and kill it."

The rabbit demon placed his hands behind his back, looking rather self-important.

To him, a tier-one grand demon was indeed nothing more than food.

"Then, does fellow daoist happen to know where he went?"

"What? Have a grudge against them? Cuckolded by that man?"

Jiang Xuan: ...

His face turning slightly dark, Jiang Xuan forcefully restrained himself from unleashing a torrent of abuse.

"You misunderstood. They are my underlings. They've just been gone too long without returning, so I came out to look for them."

"Oh? Underlings? Then I have no idea where they went."

"However, I advise you to find them as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I run into them first, you'll never see them again!"

His pupils instantly turned crimson, and the corners of the rabbit demon's mouth curled up into a chilling, sinister smile.

Jiang Xuan, on the other hand, wore a half-smile as he glanced toward the cave interior.

"Your junior sister is quite nice. She must be delicious, right?"

"Naturally. My junior sister is a top-tier female beast of my sect. What's more, she shares the same origin with me—she's also a rabbit demon."

"The two of us are a match made in heaven!"

The rabbit demon laughed smugly, recalling the dozen or so rounds of intense combat they had shared inside the cave earlier that day.

Yet, in Jiang Xuan's eyes, this smile was nothing short of sleazy...

"No, is that what I asked? I genuinely want to eat her; her meat must taste quite good!"

Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes. What on earth was packed inside this rabbit demon's head?

Hearing this, the rabbit demon instantly wiped the smile from his face, narrowing his eyes and staring viciously at Jiang Xuan.

"What did you say?!"

"Just by your looks! How dare you treat my companion as prey!"

"Merely at the tier-three grand demon realm, yet you dare to utter such wild arrogance!"

"Hah, since you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

"Junior sister, come out! There's meat delivered right to our doorstep!"

"Oh? No wonder I smelled something savory! Coming right up~!"

A voice dripping with exaggerated cuteness floated out from the cave. It was tingling and numbing; ordinary people hearing it would probably fall for it on the spot.

At least, the rabbit demon shook all over upon hearing it, his expression growing increasingly greedy and lecherous.

Yet Jiang Xuan, having the majestic Empress as a standard of comparison, and with Xiao Cui and the others not looking bad either, found this voice somewhat nauseating instead.

"Senior brother, this fellow doesn't look half bad, though he's still far worse than you!"

After walking out, the woman's body seemed boneless as she leaned directly against the man's chest.

The thin straps on her fragrant shoulders slipped casually down her forearms, exposing a vast expanse of snowy white skin on her chest, prompting Jiang Xuan to steal a few extra glances despite himself.

"Hahaha, naturally! We simply cannot refuse meat delivered right to us!"

"Of course, senior brother. We've been tired all day anyway, and this fellow is also a tier-three grand demon. He's enough for both of us to eat!"

"I just wonder what kind of beast he is. If he's some kind of beast that doesn't taste good, that would be a bit boring."

The two of them pointed fingers at Jiang Xuan and even started biting each other lip-to-lip right in front of him.

Jiang Xuan simply watched their performance quietly, too lazy to disturb them.

After gnawing on each other for a long while, the two rabbit demons finally separated.

"Kid, sorry about that. Didn't notice you were still standing here just now."

Seeing that Jiang Xuan didn't take the opportunity to flee, the rabbit demon looked somewhat surprised.

"It's fine. You guys can finish making out."

"Anyway, can you tell me now? Which way did my underling go?"

Jiang Xuan had consumed plenty of dog food in his past life and was long used to it.

Remaining a solo virgin since birth, Jiang Xuan had already grown immune to such scenes.

Romance belonged to others and had nothing to do with him.

"You actually have underlings, punk? How laughable."

"Senior brother, I'm already hungry! Hurry up and kill him so I can eat!"

Rocking the man's arm, the female rabbit demon spoke in a spoiled, whining tone.

"Junior sister, coming right up!"

The man instantly blazed with fighting intent, as if the woman's words had given him a massive buff, causing his imposing aura to surge even higher.

"I was just asking for directions, was all that necessary?"

"Besides, I didn't even plan to eat you two, yet you actually want to eat me? Have things turned upside down?"

Jiang Xuan was genuinely amused to the point of anger.

These two rabbit demons apparently had no concept of the pecking order anymore.

"Hmph! Just you, and you expect to eat the two of us?"

"Even among tier-three grand demons, there are levels!"

"My junior sister doesn't even need to lift a finger; I alone am enough to twist your head off!"

"Why don't you reveal your true form right now!"

After a bunch of idle chatter, the rabbit demon transformed into his true form—a massive bulk that, upon closer inspection, was actually less than a quarter the size of Jiang Xuan.

Watching him bounce away until he vanished from sight, Jiang Xuan didn't move an inch.

Dust suddenly swirled all around. With faint afterimages of toes lightly tapping the ground, Jiang Xuan couldn't track the rabbit demon's movements at all.

"That's amazing, senior brother! Your technique has gotten so much faster than before!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Kill this fellow! He hasn't even revealed his true form yet! Strike while he's down!"

What on earth? Did he come with a cheerleader squad?

Jiang Xuan muttered inwardly.

The next second, he reached his hand out into the empty air, and the rabbit demon was sent flying by a single slap, crashing heavily into a dragon-beard tree half a mile away!

"Impossible! You fellow! What is going on?!"

"You were actually able to track my ethereal steps!"

Accompanied by a fit of coughing, the rabbit demon reappeared before Jiang Xuan.

To Jiang Xuan, his utterly incredulous expression and body language made him look somewhat like a clown.

"Surprised? Didn't you say that even among tier-three grand demons there are levels? The gap between me and you is indeed far more than just a little bit."

"I'll give you one more chance. As long as you tell me where they went, I can spare your lives."

Jiang Xuan was gradually losing his patience.

The beast meat previously dug up by the Demon Sovereign wasn't much, and though enough for the three of them to eat, Jiang Xuan deduced that the rest of the meat must have been packed away by Xiao Lan and the others into their storage rings.

Since there was still more meat to eat, Jiang Xuan didn't intend to kill them just yet.

After all, beast meat was best eaten fresh.

"Senior brother! You're being mocked!"

"If you can't beat him, I'm never dual-cultivating with you again!"

"No, no, no! Junior sister, that was just a warm-up! I'm about to get serious now!"
