Chapter 98 Reencounter with Yun Yin
Chapter 98 Reencounter with Yun Yin
Bright lanterns floated everywhere, providing illumination for passersby. Perhaps to highlight the unique characteristics of the Demon Market, these lanterns all bore some resemblance to ancient Chinese architecture, with dragons and phoenixes appearing most frequently.
For example, a small but pretentious dragon lantern meanders over the heads of several pretty witches, attracting their attention and then, in a moment of triumph, spews flames to show off.
However, this fantastical scene is merely a condensed silhouette of the demon market.
The witches had just emerged from the magnificent attic when they turned the corner and saw a fragrant food stall on a street corner. There stood a tall and imposing dragon maiden, expressionless, flipping the steamed buns in the pot.
"Wow, how can there be such a beautiful dragon girl selling steamed buns?"
One of the witches, dressed in an exotic Lolita style, was originally quite elegant, but when she saw that the food stall owner was so handsome, she blurted out something very unladylike.
Even her fellow sisters couldn't help but look over, and were all attracted by this beautiful dragon girl who had fallen so low as to sell steamed buns.
Even as she was flipping the steamed buns, the dragon girl maintained a stern expression. Coupled with her stunningly beautiful features that could drive even witches mad, she made it easy to overlook what she was doing.
For example, they are wrapping scallions around a steamed bun!
Are all the "Zhendan Witches" this wasteful? Such beautiful sisters are actually making pancakes on the street!
Dragon Girl's business is booming. Most of the customers are pretty witches, wearing all sorts of colorful dresses around this food stall. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was some kind of idol witch who had been recognized.
With her temperament and appearance, this dragon girl could easily be an idol-type witch.
"Hey, Captain, how about we switch to selling steamed buns?"
The pink-clad fox witch handed the rolled-up pancakes to the witches at the stall, her gentle smile making them even more unforgettable.
However, while the fox demon kept busy with her hands, she secretly communicated with the cold-faced dragon girl via telepathy, her tone quite mischievous.
The identities of these two are obvious: Yun Yin and Li Mingxia. As for the whereabouts of the other members of the Balance Squad, that remains unknown.
If Su Li saw this scene, she would definitely question her life. In her impression, Yun Yin was a tough and cold person with almost witch-like strength, so he was extremely aloof.
Now, this aloof dragon girl is seriously stir-frying pancakes and even sprinkling on scallions with great skill. Her practiced movements definitely make her a street chef.
"Don't get distracted. The target is still in the building. Tell Ji Ziyu and Milna to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't escape the surveillance range."
The Dragon Girl continued to stir-fry the steamed buns with great care, and also made golden and distinct egg fried rice, her tone unwavering, with her usual seriousness.
Li Mingxia stuck out her tongue and relayed Yun Yin's words to the two people nearby who were keeping watch. The two witches, having received the message, continued to intently observe the large auction house that was renowned throughout the demon market.
Although Yun Yin had a seemingly unapproachable demeanor, he was still somewhat embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
I should have known better than to listen to my sister Ji Ziyu's advice, which said that as law enforcement officers, we need to master the skill of hiding ourselves to keep an eye on targets, and that we can disguise ourselves as street vendors when there are many people around.
The dragon girl, who always valued speed and efficiency, rarely listened to advice and even seriously learned the craft. However, in their first real battle, Yun Yin discovered that the so-called concealment was completely ineffective, or rather, a cold and beautiful dragon girl was always the center of attention wherever she went.
She had just finished making a pancake and handed it to the witch in front of her, whose eyes were sparkling with pink hearts. Behind the witch, a long, crowded line had already formed, consisting of both witches and monsters.
No wonder Li Mingxia jokingly suggested switching to selling steamed buns; the sheer popularity of her business made the mask stall owner next door, who had no customers, heartbroken and in tears.
Perhaps if we had just apprehended the target from the beginning, we wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble!
But why not do it that way?
Yun Yin didn't know he would make such a change.
To write fewer reports? Or to consider your boss's feelings? Or to save on severance pay?
The Dragon Girl herself couldn't explain it, but she still suppressed her temper and earnestly pretended to be a street vendor, although the effect of the disguise was a little unsatisfactory.
For some reason, Su Li's image suddenly appeared in Yun Yin's mind, not because of her stunning beauty, but because of the scene of the girl crying in her ruined home.
That was the girl's former home, filled with beautiful memories, but she destroyed it.
Thinking of this, Yun Yin's meticulous movements suddenly stopped, causing the witch waiting in front of the stall to have some ulterior motives.
I'm so beautiful that even the dragon girl was stunned!
However, Yun Yin only paused for a moment before resuming the process of making pancakes. In fact, because there were so many witches visiting, he even sped up his work.
It must be said that even such a down-to-earth action appears quite elegant when performed by this aloof dragon girl.
Even the witches from Japan were whispering among themselves, deciding to give the stall owner a grand nickname:
The Pancake Master!
Although Yun Yin didn't pay attention, the ground next to the snack stall suddenly trembled several times, and there seemed to be some unkind laughter coming out.
In a secluded corner, only two or three dimly lit lanterns lingered. Because they weren't bright enough, these lanterns were relegated to the outermost edge, pitifully drifting back and forth in this corner.
A graceful elven witch sat beside a wheelchair, holding a sleeping cat lamp in her arms. Because the cat lamp was asleep, its light was not bright.
This made the lanterns think they were of the same kind, and they moved closer to the fairy witch.
"Looks like the captain's disguise failed, but it wasn't a waste of time. Now the whole team has their budget for this week. You're amazing, Ziyu!"
Milna casually brushed aside a lantern shaped like a jade rabbit and said to her sisters beside her in a teasing tone.
The witch next to her was Ji Ziyu, and this witch, who was originally a human police officer, looked embarrassed. After all, it was her idea to have the captain disguise himself as a street vendor, but things didn't turn out the way she expected.
The charm of the Silver Dragon Girl is no less than that of Su Li. Unlike Su Li, the aloof and elegant Dragon Girl is the most perfect object in the heart of the witch, who wishes she could give birth to seven or eight witch eggs!
As for Su Li, she's only fit to lay eggs!
Now, the somewhat cold-hearted but righteous police officer looked embarrassed and could only reply:
"I'm sorry, this was my mistake; I didn't take that factor into account."
However, Milna didn't care. Instead, she praised Ji Ziyu's idea of having Yun Yin pretend to make pancakes. However, she was now somewhat surprised by Yun Yin's current behavior.
Previously, given Yun Yin's efficiency, she would only focus on capturing and interrogating targets in the most efficient way, without considering the negative consequences of the arrest process.
Seeing Yun Yin's "well-behaved" disguise, even Mila, who is also a member of the Balance Squad, is incredulous.
What factors could possibly cause such a drastic change in our captain?
