There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 249 I'll kill her.

"So you are a noble and virtuous heroine! I beg you, heroine, to capture the succubus and tear him to pieces!"

Li Shuchen nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I definitely will. May I ask how old your daughter is?"

The older woman touched the little girl's face and sobbed, "Nine years old."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen nearly ground his teeth to powder. "Beast! This succubus is getting more and more audacious! She dares to lay a hand on a nine-year-old child!"

He then left ten taels of silver notes with the woman and quickly returned to Lin Niangzi's rooftop to keep watch.

Not long after, the sound of crying came from not far away again.

Li Shuchen dared not move, fearing that if she left, the succubus would arrive.

So he obediently lay down on the eaves, lowering his body even further, breathing even shallower, and using all his senses to perceive the surrounding movements.

"Ting, Ting"

It was the faint sound of footsteps on the tiles; someone was coming.

Li Shuchen remained motionless, waiting for the person to approach.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, hitting Li Shuchen's face, and a foul smell in the wind went straight to her nostrils.

It's numb and smells awful.

A man in black landed in the courtyard. After regaining his footing, he tossed his hair, sprayed himself with a strange-smelling perfume, and spun around twice, seemingly lost in some kind of reverie.

Li Shuchen stared intently at the flamboyant man, thinking, "This must be the succubus."

The four men at the door heard the commotion and rushed in to fight him.

"click"

"click"

Before Li Shuchen even saw the succubus make a move, the two guards fell to the ground and died.

"click"

"click"

Two more sounds, and the two thugs collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The succubus tossed a strand of hair to her nose, sniffed, and said flippantly, "Are the little kids on the roof playing hide-and-seek with me?"

Seeing that he had been exposed, Li Shuchen swung his stick and smashed it at the succubus.

"Bang~"

Li Shuchen's wooden stick was blocked by the succubus. She caught the stick, stumbled back a few steps, and almost fell off the roof.

Damn, that's some serious skill! It made her hands go numb.

The succubus chuckled lazily, "You think you can subdue me with such meager skills? How laughable."

You're ridiculous!

Li Shuchen gripped the wooden stick tightly and leaped downwards towards the succubus.

"Boom"

A stick and a short knife clashed.

By the moonlight, Li Shuchen could see the succubus's eyes clearly; they were cold, icy, and devoid of any emotion.

Most importantly, he had a large demonic eye tattooed on his forehead, cold and terrifying. Could the assassin Yu Ying encountered be a succubus?

Li Shuchen looked at the succubus's dagger, which was exactly the same size as Yu Ying's wound.

Damn it, no matter what, she's going to take down the succubus today.

Li Shuchen freed one hand to grab a handful of muscle-relaxing powder from his robes and threw it directly at the succubus.

The succubus covered her face with her hand, and chuckled wickedly, "Little girl, your muscle-weakening powder is useless against me, but you... are useful to me."

The succubus turned to Li Shuchen, took a deep breath, and said with ecstasy, "So spicy! I've never tasted such a fiery girl before."

After saying that, she stuck out her tongue to lick the back of Li Shuchen's hand.

Li Shuchen quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and launched a flying kick at the succubus, but before his foot could touch him, the succubus grabbed him with one hand.

The succubus took another deep breath, her eyes fixed on Li Shuchen's feet, and said with ecstasy, "Little girl, you're too slow, but you're still so cute and innocent. I like that. How about I teach you a lesson? Don't worry, I'm very experienced and I definitely won't hurt you."

Damn it, this is outrageous! What kind of rubbish is this?!

Li Shuchen calmed down and said to the succubus, "Don't you like smelling things? Smell my palms, are they spicy?"

The succubus was overjoyed upon hearing this, playing with her hair as she said, "Girl, you've come to your senses! That's more like it. If you can't beat me, you should enjoy yourself while you can. Come on."

Li Shuchen suppressed her nausea and clenched her fist, presenting it to him.

The succubus tossed her hair aside and said, "Girl, don't be nervous. Let go of your hands. I'll be heartbroken if you hurt yourself."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen abruptly released his grip on the succubus's eyes.

"Eat my powder!"

The succubus shrieked, bending over and rubbing her eyes repeatedly with both hands: "What, what did you sprinkle on me?"

Li Shuchen crossed his arms and smirked, "You like spicy food, don't you? Well, is this insanely spicy powder I made with onion powder, chili powder, Sichuan peppercorn powder, garlic powder, and ginger powder spicy enough? Do you like it?"

After saying that, she curled her lips into a smile, gripped the wooden stick tightly, and swung it at the succubus.

"Take this!"

The succubus then vanished in a flash, with Li Shuchen close behind.

Her insanely spicy powder was so potent that even the succubus panicked and ran around in a frenzy.

But he was still incredibly fast, and Li Shuchen followed closely, not daring to relax for a moment.

They followed her all the way to a mountain, where the succubus suddenly vanished.

Li Shuchen stopped and searched carefully, then found a cave entrance and cautiously walked in.

The cave was eerily quiet, devoid of any living creature's cries, save for the dripping sound of water and the occasional waft of a foul odor, exactly like that of a succubus.

The succubus should be in this cave.

Li Shuchen held his breath, moved quietly, and searched carefully.

One step, two steps, three steps

With a "whoosh," Li Shuchen's back suddenly bumped into something, and he immediately turned around to face it with his stick.

The other side reacted quickly, immediately drawing their swords in response.

Hmm? Li Shuchen found the sword very familiar. Wasn't this Yu Ying's sword?

The person opposite quickly sheathed their sword and said softly, "Shu Chen."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen put away the wooden stick and whispered, "Yuying, what brings you here?"

Liang Yuying: "You're here to catch the succubus, is Shu Chen here too?"

Li Shuchen nodded: "Yes."

"Hahaha, hahaha, three incompetent brats, you actually dare to try and catch me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen and Liang Yuying immediately leaned back to back, warily glancing around.

Three? Where's the third one?

"cha"

It was the sound of weapons clashing.

Liang Yuying: "The right side"

Li Shuchen followed Liang Yuying and saw a man in black fighting a succubus.

The firelight inside the cave was too dim, and Li Shuchen couldn't tell whether the man in black was friend or foe, but as long as she fought the succubus, he was a good person.

The succubus, her eyes blindfolded, was forced back by the men in black. Soon, her arm was injured. Seeing this, Li Shuchen sensed an opportunity and flew in, wielding his staff, to join the fight.

The succubus, annoyed by the extreme spiciness of Li Shuchen's powder, sensed her approach and immediately gathered her inner strength to strike Li Shuchen directly.

"Shu Chen, be careful!"

"Miss, be careful!"

Li Shuchen was no match for this palm strike; it came too swiftly and with immense power. She was forced to roll on the ground, a metallic taste rising in her throat, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, Liang Yuying drew her sword and charged forward, her killing intent obvious.

The man in black's attacks became increasingly fierce.

Li Shuchen lay on the ground, feeling excruciating pain all over his body. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grabbed a wooden stick, and forced himself to stand up.

That succubus bastard, I'll beat her to death!

Liang Yuying's eyes were icy cold, and her every move was deadly. Together with the man in black, they forced the succubus into a corner.

With nowhere left to retreat, the succubus gritted her teeth and said, "General Liang, I should have killed you that day."

Liang Yuying charged forward, sword in hand: "Enough with the nonsense!"
