Chapter 793 - 793 Uncontrollable
793 Uncontrollable
Bai Xu could not be bothered with demons. She returned to the Escort Agency, which happened to have some escorts. He was overjoyed to see her return.
Niu Yan looked at Bai Xu and saw that she was fine. He smiled and said, “Miss Bai must be tired. Rest well for a while.”
Bai Xu waved his hand and said, “No need. I’ll follow the escort. This is the last trip before the new year, right? I’ll follow. I don’t want to stay here idle.”
Since Bai Xu took the initiative to offer to join them, Niu Yan did not object.
“Then Miss Bai, pack your luggage. I’ll wait for you to return safely.”
Niu Yan smiled.
Bai Xu nodded and quickly went to pack her things. After 15 minutes, she left the city with the Escort Agency.

Su Xiaolu returned to the inn to rest.
Fa Yin and Fa Le returned and saw that Su Xiaolu was acting as if nothing had happened. Both of them were very worried.
They thought that Su Xiaolu would mention this, but the next day, Su Xiaolu did not mention a word.
During lunch, Fa Le couldn’t help but ask, “Aunt, aren’t you afraid that Lord Jiang won’t come looking for you?”
They were all much older than Su Xiaolu and could be considered very calm people in the mortal world. They were all curious, but Su Xiaolu could remain calm. Instead, they could not help but ask.
Su Xiaolu smiled at the two of them and said proudly and confidently, “He won’t be able to control the demon if he doesn’t come to look for me. It’ll be interesting when they come to look for me. If he doesn’t come, he’ll be able to control the demon. It’s fine even if I don’t study him. They won’t be able to control him after a few days. How interesting would it be if I studied him at that time?”
Fa Yin and Fa Le were both stunned and couldn’t help but shiver.
The doubts were resolved.
Su Xiaolu wanted to wait here for a few days. Fa Yin and Fa Le thought that if they really did not understand, Jiang Zhengjun would also come to look for Su Xiaolu. They were fine now, so the two of them returned to Hongyue Monastery.

Jiang Zhengjun did not dare to relax. Until today, he had not found a way to deal with the fox-faced demon.
This demon closed its eyes and mouth and they could not pry them open. He could not imitate Su Xiaolu’s actions.
The current fox-faced man was invulnerable and they could not find any flaws. Now, he was a hot potato in his hands.
There was no response from the emperor.
They had no choice but to build a refined iron cage and lock him up. The cages were connected densely, and only some small holes could be seen inside.
Today was already the second day. This demon was actually starting to become invisible.
The knife couldn’t pierce through it. There was really nothing they could do to him.
Seeing that the three days were almost up, the figure of the demon began to appear and disappear. Jiang Zhengjun did not delay any longer and personally went to look for Su Xiaolu.
When he arrived at the inn, he asked the waiter to call Su Xiaolu.
Seeing Su Xiaolu come down, Jiang Zhengjun’s expression was serious. “Miss Su, please help me with this. You can do anything you want to that demon. It’s just that I hope you can give us a copy of the research. The royal court has information on mutants. If we meet them, especially such a vicious one, we have to report it.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Sure.”
Jiang Zhengjun heaved a sigh of relief. He had no choice but to let Su Xiaolu study it. There was really no other way. In just three days, they could not send him out. They could not catch him if he escaped halfway. This was the only way now.
Since Su Xiaolu had said so, she must have a way.
Su Xiaolu left with Jiang Zhengjun. On the way, she thought of Bai Xu and asked, “Lord Jiang, did you let Miss Bai go?”
Jiang Zhengjun nodded. “Yes. Miss Bai has already been cleared of suspicion. We let her go back immediately.”
Thinking of Bai Xu, Jiang Zhengjun looked depressed. She was also a strange woman. He only asked a few questions and she turned hostile without any reason.
Su Xiaolu did not ask further. When they arrived at the government office, Jiang Zhengjun brought Su Xiaolu to the most tightly guarded prison.
Seeing the bitter expressions on the guards’ faces, Jiang Zhengjun’s heart sank and he quickened his pace.
When they arrived at the cage and looked at the empty cage, Jiang Zhengjun hammered his fists on it. “What’s going on? Where is he?”
The guards hurriedly knelt down and said in fear, “Sir, we don’t know. We didn’t open it. He suddenly disappeared. We used fire, but the cage couldn’t burn. He seems to have escaped…”
The cage was empty, and they did not dare to open it. They tried all kinds of methods, but the answer they came to was that there was no one inside.
Jiang Zhengjun’s head throbbed. He subconsciously looked at Su Xiaolu. “Miss Su, didn’t you say three days? It’s only two days now.”
Su Xiaolu said lazily, “I’m saying that the effect of the medicine will last at least three days. I didn’t say that his ability won’t recover in advance.”
“Don’t be anxious. This person is still inside.”
Su Xiaolu released the water ball and enveloped the entire cage bit by bit. Soon, a humanoid figure appeared above the cage.
He had been discovered. The demon jumped down and revealed himself. He looked at Su Xiaolu sinisterly.
Su Xiaolu smiled at him. “There are two choices in front of you now. Will you choose to take the medicine from above or from below?”
The demon: “…???”
Jiang Zhengjun and the others: “…???”
They all thought they had heard wrongly.
However, seeing Su Xiaolu’s serious expression as she waited for an answer, everyone fell silent.
They should be right. The top was the mouth. Below, where would it be…?
“This choice is a little difficult, right? It doesn’t matter. I’ll give you two hours to consider.”
Su Xiaolu looked at this demon. He did not answer. She felt that she should give him some time.
She might as well sit down and wait.
“You don’t look like a human or a demon. What’s your name?”
Su Xiaolu asked naturally, as if she was asking an old friend.
This nonchalant attitude made people wonder if there was something wrong with their eyes and ears.
The demon naturally did not answer. Su Xiaolu did not care and asked one question after another.
Seeing that the two hours were almost up, Su Xiaolu turned to Jiang Zhengjun and said, “Lord Jiang, go and investigate. There are six people in the family. They’re ranked third in the family and love to gamble. We’ll know the identity of this demon from that.”
The corners of Jiang Zhengjun’s mouth twitched. “Miss Su, how did you know?”
It had always been Su Xiaolu who asked. The demon had never answered.
Jiang Zhengjun was not the only one who was surprised. The fox-faced demon also widened his eyes. Su Xiaolu looked at him and smiled. “From asking. He’s not a blockhead. Although he won’t answer, his eyes have changed. I don’t know how many sad things I’ve evoked. Everything is written on his face.”
Jiang Zhengjun looked impressed and hurriedly gave the order.
The demon could no longer hold it in. He moved his clumsy figure and grabbed the crack with his sharp claws. He stared at Su Xiaolu. “I want you to die. I want you to die—”
Su Xiaolu frowned. She felt a force attack her sea of consciousness. The intense pain made her squat down with her hands on her head.
