“What are you two doing? Class is about to start, and you still haven’t gone back.”
A man’s voice came from behind.
Ying An hurriedly stood up and turned around.
Su Yueyue was startled and ran over to cling to his arm.
She timidly glanced at the person who had arrived before putting her mind at ease.
“Teacher Zhu, we were… exploring. Do you know what’s underneath this iron door?”
Zhu Yao glanced at the iron door on the ground and shook his head.
“This school has a very long history. It might be a basement or an air-raid shelter or something. It’s been abandoned for so long, it probably can’t even be opened anymore.”
“Xiao An said there’s a really terrifying demon inside,” Su Yueyue said fearfully.
It had clearly just been a joke between the two of them, yet Zhu Yao narrowed his eyes and stared at Ying An thoughtfully, making him feel very uncomfortable.
It seemed those words held another layer of meaning in his eyes.
“Haven’t you two learned science? How can you still believe in these things?”
He walked over and patted Ying An on the head.
“Hurry back. Class is about to start.”
“Oh, goodbye, Teacher.”
Ying An and Su Yueyue rushed back to the classroom before the class bell rang.
After that day, neither of them took the matter to heart anymore, and they no longer had any interest in that old building.
Two days later, the municipal government organized a professional team to handle the problem of wild ferocious wolves on the mountain behind the school.
The matter quickly produced results.
Several wolves were all killed or captured, and the incident thus came to an end.
Late at night, the abandoned old building beside the Xiheng playground.
In the dark and silent passageway, a burst of footsteps rang out, approaching from far to near, exceptionally distinct.
The sleeping red wolf opened its eyes and glared furiously at the sliver of light drawing closer and closer ahead.
The chains on its body produced a series of crisp clinks with its movements.
“Rested well?” Zhu Yao asked with a teasing smile.
“It won’t take many more days. I can feel it. Human, your death is approaching.”
“If I die, there won’t be anyone left to come see you.”
He stopped in front of the red wolf.
The flashlight’s beam slowly swept across its scarred and ruined body.
Those scarlet pupils were filled with terrifying killing intent.
Zhu Yao took out several transparent crystals from his pocket and slowly approached.
The red wolf clenched its teeth tightly.
Its sharp fangs carried a bloody aura.
It suddenly bit downward with all its strength, wanting to tear the man’s body in two, but the chains bound its movements.
It bit nothing at all.
Only a wave of suffocating agony came from its neck.
“Last time, your howls were heard by people outside.”
Zhu Yao ignored its fury and spoke unhurriedly.
“Fortunately they thought there were wolves appearing on the back mountain. To avoid suspicion, I even specially went to the nearby mountains and brought a few wild wolves over.”
“You won’t be that lucky every time.”
“I think so too, so I can’t let you roar that loudly anymore.”
He took several talismans from his coat pocket and pasted them onto the giant wolf’s body.
In an instant, the talisman papers invaded its body like toxin, leaving only eerie black runes.
At the same time, the red wolf felt the strength throughout its entire body draining away at extreme speed.
It grew weaker and weaker, even making a sound becoming somewhat difficult.
“Human… you won’t die a good death.”
“I won’t die.”
Zhu Yao used the fresh blood from its wounds to dye several crystals red.
Through the flashlight’s glow, he looked at the bright red, translucent color of the crystals and revealed a sinister smile.
“I still have hundreds, thousands of years to live. I will be the first long-lived species in human history! Once I obtain that lengthy lifespan, I will… pick a nice grave plot for you.”
“You will die. You’ll die by my hand!”
He had already heard this kind of curse from this wolf demon’s mouth too many times.
Zhu Yao had no interest in arguing with it.
Today’s portion had already been processed.
As he packed up the things he had brought, he continued speaking slowly.
“Today two students discovered the door above. They’re even from my class.”
The giant wolf did not respond, only staring at him viciously.
“One of them even has a bit of cat demon bloodline. Probably a hybrid born from a human and a demon. What a pity. I actually rather liked those two kids. Why did they have to go looking around here when they had free time? Curiosity killed the cat.”
“Aren’t you afraid that cat demon will come take revenge on you?”
“She won’t find me, and she certainly won’t find this place. Besides, I’ve already investigated her. Just a lowly beast not even a hundred years old. Killing her would be too easy.”

“Sister, let me tell you. Today I found a door installed in the ground in the abandoned little building by the school playground.”
Ying An rolled back and forth on the sofa.
“An old-fashioned basement entrance, I suppose. It was probably made a long time ago.”
“I feel like something extremely terrifying is sealed underneath.”
Ying An’s tone was very serious as he spoke with great solemnity.
“You, you’ve watched too many TV dramas.”
Li Jue pinched Ying An’s face.
She was rather glad she had raised the little one to be so fair and tender.
It felt very nice to pinch, and she liked it a lot.
The only bit of demonic energy she had sensed at the school was the cat demon bloodline on Su Yueyue.
Naturally she wouldn’t think there was anything terrifying behind that iron door the way Ying An described.
As long as it wasn’t related to demons, it generally wouldn’t threaten his safety.
After all, he was still wearing that bow.
It was the most ultimate killing weapon.
Even if Ying An used it himself, it would be enough to handle threats other than demonic creatures.
“My sixth sense is very sharp. Sister, you have to believe me.”
In truth, Ying An was simply trying to mess around.
He didn’t know what was hidden behind that iron door either.
It was just that toward unknown things, his rich imagination would uncontrollably extend outward without limit.
Demons, zombies, monsters… he would think of anything.
“If it’s really that sharp, then can Xiao An sense that he’s in great danger right now?”
“Right now? What’s dangerous at ho—” Ying An’s words stopped halfway when he discovered Li Jue was staring straight at him.
The smile on her face was sinister, as if she were brewing a terrible scheme.
She deliberately licked the corner of her lips, and Ying An’s fear increased another notch.
“Si… Sister, I haven’t done anything wrong lately.”
“You haven’t made any mistakes, but Xiao An, do you think you’re safe just because you haven’t done anything wrong?”
In the next instant, she suddenly pounced on Ying An and wrapped her arms around the boy’s body.
Her softly curved chest pressed against his back.
Her long, slender thighs slipped between his legs.
Both of their pajamas were very thin, and underneath they were only wearing underwear.
“Xiao An, has Sister ever said that one day she will eat you?”
“That was a joke, right…”
“Do you really think so?” She gently bit Ying An’s neck, neither too light nor too heavy, a little numb and itchy.
“Do you know foxes are omnivores? Meat, vegetables, and little kids like you—Sister likes to eat them all.”
“I… I don’t believe you.”
“Then Sister will eat and show you.”
Li Jue covered Ying An’s mouth.
Her teeth pressed against his shoulder and slowly applied force.
She controlled her demonic energy, releasing it little by little from her mouth, creating pain on his body.
Ying An instinctively began to struggle, letting out pained whimpers from his mouth.
Seeing this, Li Jue withdrew her demonic energy and released the hand covering his mouth.
“Little dummy, so afraid of pain. Sister hasn’t even bitten yet.”
