There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 246 The Succubus Appears

Liang Yuying: "The injury might be too severe. After applying the compresses for a few more days, it should be healed."

Li Shuchen thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's true, then let's apply it for a few more days and see."

Seeing that Li Shuchen was no longer pursuing the matter, Liang Yuying breathed a sigh of relief. She knew she couldn't secretly wipe away the powder anymore; if she did, she would be caught. She was afraid...

A few days later, when Li Shuchen was applying medicine to Liang Yuying, he noticed that her wound was indeed healing. It seemed that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Sun was still very effective.

As for why the previous application of medicine was ineffective, Li Shuchen didn't think much of it.

The temperature was pleasant and the sun was shining brightly.

Li Shuchen stretched and said, "Yuying, you stay home and rest. I'm going to the inn to take care of things."

Liang Yuying: Okay

Li Shuchen arrived at the inn's backyard by carriage. After tying up Li Wanbai, he washed his hands and went to the kitchen to start washing vegetables.

"Aunt Wang, are you still managing to handle everything?"

Cook Wang, while stir-frying the dishes, replied with a smile, "The three of us can manage, Miss, please rest and don't need to help."

Just then, Xiao Feng called out to the kitchen, "One order of deep-fried chicken wings!"

In early summer, she quickly prepared a dish and said, "Xiao Feng, the golden fried chicken wings are ready."

Li Shuchen wiped the golden fried chicken wings in front of his hands and said, "I'll deliver them."

Xiao Feng was walking too fast and almost bumped into Li Shuchen. After recognizing him, she scratched her head sheepishly and said, "Miss, you've arrived."

Li Shuchen: "Okay, I'll serve this one."

Xiao Feng chuckled and said, "Miss, it was ordered by the guests at table number three."

Li Shuchen nodded, placed the fried chicken wings on table number three, and was about to turn and leave when he heard...

"The succubus appeared again last night."

One sentence was enough to keep Li Shuchen there. Li Shuchen grabbed a cloth from Xiao Feng and started wiping the number four table and chairs.

The man in blue cloth, upon hearing this, paid no attention, picked up a golden fried chicken wing, and leisurely ate it: "The succubus has been gone for three years, are you ever going to stop?"

The man dressed in blue cloth also picked up a chicken wing and ate it. After finishing one, he licked his fingers and said...

"Last night, a succubus raped and killed a little girl. She was only twelve years old, still a child. It was absolutely horrific. Her parents were crying their hearts out; their cries were so loud that my house, two streets away, could hear them. It was so pitiful."

The man in blue cloth looked at him with disbelief: "I've never heard of this. You must be lying to me."

The man in blue said sincerely, "I really didn't lie to you this time, you should believe me."

The man in blue answered decisively, "I don't believe you. You've taken advantage of my timidity and tried to fool me with this story many times. This is the third time; I certainly won't fall for it again."

The man in blue leaned closer to the man in green and whispered, "There used to be more female customers than male customers at this Happiness Inn, but now you see there are hardly any girls left."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen glanced around the reception hall. There were eight tables of guests, but only two young women, which was indeed much fewer than usual.

After reading this, the man in blue was so frightened that he dropped the chicken wing in his hand. He stood up hurriedly and said, "I want to go home. I'm never going out again."

He turned to leave, but the man in blue grabbed him, saying, "Hey, hey, where are you going? You haven't finished these chicken wings yet. Finish them before you go."

The man in green shook off the man in blue's hand and said, "I'm not eating anymore, you can have it all."

He then quickly ran out of the living room.

The man in blue shook his head and chuckled, "Young man, why are you still so timid? If you won't eat, I'll enjoy this plate of golden fried chicken wings myself."

Li Shuchen stepped forward and asked, "Brother, is what you just said true?"

The man in blue looked at Li Shuchen and smiled, "What I just said is, of course~"

He drew out the word "is," and didn't say anything more.

Li Shuchen urged, "What is it?"

The man in blue laughed and said, "It's fake, Miss Li. You don't know, my little brother here is as timid as a sesame seed. You can scare him a little and he'll cower at home, too scared to go out. It's really quite amusing."

Li Shuchen was speechless upon hearing this: "Aren't you afraid that he won't want to be around you anymore in the future?"

The man in blue said confidently, "No, he's a coward; he only dares to play with me."

Li Shuchen: "He should be heartbroken by all the teasing you've done to him."

The man in blue listened thoughtfully and said, "That makes sense, Miss Li. I'd like another order of golden fried chicken wings to go."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen returned to the kitchen and ordered people to make golden fried chicken wings. He then went to the backyard, picked up his wooden stick, and began practicing martial arts.

The succubus has not yet been eliminated, which is a real threat. I don't know how strong he is, so I must make plans as soon as possible.

Li Shuchen practiced from day to night without stopping, his wooden stick flashing incessantly.

Li Wanbai woke up, glanced at Li Shuchen who was yelling and shouting, then closed her eyes again.

Its owner is torturing itself again. It really can't understand what kind of martial arts its owner is practicing; shouldn't they be sleeping in the middle of the night? Oh well, never mind her. If its owner doesn't sleep, it still needs to.

Staying up late will make you ugly and old, and it doesn't want to be an ugly and old horse; it wants to be the youngest and most beautiful horse in the whole capital.

Li Wanbai changed her sleeping position and drifted off to sleep again.

Three seconds later, a heart-wrenching cry came from afar, startling Li Wanbai into opening her eyes.

Quickly locate Li Shuchen's position

Then they saw their master, holding a wooden stick, leap onto the roof and disappear into the night.

Li Wanbai cried out anxiously, "Master, take me with you! It's too dangerous to go alone. What if it happens like last time?"

Li Wanbai was so anxious she kept stamping her feet.

Li Shuchen, carrying a wooden stick, had already arrived at the scene of the incident.

In a dilapidated house, a middle-aged woman was holding a little girl covered in bruises and blood, who looked lifeless, and was crying uncontrollably.

Li Shuchen squatted down and asked, "Auntie, do you know which way the murderer went?"

The middle-aged woman sobbed uncontrollably, saying, "I don't know."

Li Shuchen glanced at the single bed and asked again, "How did that auntie find out your daughter was being harmed?"

The middle-aged woman sobbed, "I was sleeping when I suddenly heard a sound coming from my daughter's room. I quickly got up and went inside, only to find my daughter lying naked on the floor."

She...she was only twelve years old! How could she endure such cruel torture? God, what sins have I committed to deserve this? Why must you treat my precious daughter like this? She was my only child, and now she's gone. How am I supposed to live?

After she finished speaking, she buried her face in her hands and wept bitterly. Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of her, Li Shuchen decided to search the room for clues. He searched the entire room from top to bottom, but found nothing except for a stool lying on the floor.

It seems the succubus accidentally kicked over the stool, making a noise that woke the little girl's family.

The succubus was too fast; the old woman didn't even see a shadow of him, let alone smell him. How was she supposed to find him?

Sigh, let's appease the auntie first.

Li Shuchen took out ten taels of silver notes and placed them in the middle-aged woman's hand: "Auntie, please accept my condolences and use this money to give her a proper burial."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another heart-wrenching cry came from not far away.
