On the other side, Feini happily finished delivering her orders and then went to the grocery store to buy a few sets of cheap, small-sized clothes.
She also spent a lot of money on some children’s toys, all as gifts for the kids.
“Stop right there.”
But as she walked, a group of fresh-faced female students suddenly appeared ahead, led by Xueyuedai.
This time, they weren’t messing around—they genuinely cornered her in the small grove.
If she were beaten to death and buried alive, no one would know.
“I need to talk to you.”
Xueyuedai held a Beast Detector Box in her hand, her tone sharp and cold.
Fortunately, they didn’t intend to punish Feini in the grove. Instead, they took her to a crowded place—back to Classroom 2.
It seemed Xueyuedai still adhered to a code of honor and looked down on using underhanded methods.
Feini was forced to sit at her own desk, but Xueyuedai and several distinguished female students surrounded her, blocking any chance of escape.
They remained silent, eyeing her maliciously, as if waiting for someone else to arrive.
Feini was restless and uncomfortable, like a prisoner before execution.
“What’s going on?”
“No idea.”
The classroom gradually filled with people. Many classmates, having heard the news, rushed over even during lunch break to witness the drama.
The hallways outside were crowded with students, and every window was packed with onlookers from other classes.
Soon, Qingshamu arrived in the classroom. Seeing the Beast Detector Box in Xueyuedai’s hand, she immediately understood the situation.
Though her face remained expressionless, she was internally shocked and secretly clenched a remote in her hand.
If Feini said anything foolish, Qingshamu would instantly snap her neck.
But even if she killed Feini, such a murderous cover-up would surely arouse suspicion among other Magical Beast Apprentices.
I told you this method was unreliable; now they’ve caught her, haven’t they?
Qingshamu held back for now, watching calmly.
Finally, the long-awaited protagonist appeared.
“A-Xue, what happened?” Shijietang Simon entered the classroom looking puzzled.
“This girl slipped this thing under our desk. I’m afraid she’s been up to no good before every meal.” Xueyuedai said coldly. “I told you this scary little demon isn’t a good person, but you’re just too kind.”
“What is this?” Simon asked.
“I asked the Prop Department Witch Teacher. It’s a Beast Identity Detector, usually only used by humans.” Xueyuedai explained. “She wants to find out our identities.”
The room erupted in whispers.
Simon’s expression gradually stiffened.
Certain apprentices at the God and Demon Academy kept their identities secret, like privileged students with golden ties such as Xueyuedai and Simon.
To know their identities, they had to tell you themselves. Otherwise, it was impossible to find out.
Unless, like now, you used such sneaky tricks to uncover their cards.
“Bang!” Xueyuedai’s eyes sharpened, and she slammed her hand down, smashing the children’s toys on the desk to pieces.
“…” Feini was startled and didn’t dare resist.
“Who told you to do this? Why are you doing it?” Xueyuedai asked coldly.
“…” This time, Qingshamu tensed, ready to activate her Slayer Demon Sword Phoenix collar.
“This is something I got after trapping and killing adventurers before.” Feini lowered her head and answered, “Selling the information on your identities makes money.”
Just two simple sentences, but Xueyuedai found no flaw and fell silent.
Qingshamu also stopped just in time, almost having taken Feini out.
Xueyuedai, Simon, and the others knew Feini worked part-time and was short on money, and she was indeed a trap weapon who preyed on adventurers.
“Sorry, please spare me. I won’t do it again.” Feini apologized.
“You disgust me.” Xueyuedai said coldly. “Don’t let me see you in the cafeteria again.”
“But… I have kids to take care of.” Feini stammered.
“Who cares? Letting you live is already giving you face.” Xueyuedai scolded. “We’re confiscating this.”
With the warning given, they turned and left. The onlookers gradually dispersed.
Now that the evidence was solid, Simon couldn’t protect Feini and followed Xueyuedai out.
Feini looked at the smashed toys with a helpless expression. Luckily, the new clothes she bought were still intact.
She still had to deliver meals to the kids, and if she didn’t return soon, they would worry.
She quickly pulled herself together, holding her things ready to leave the classroom.
“Heh heh, you think you can just run away?”
“The class president may be merciful, but we’re not.”
But the delinquent girls who often bullied her suddenly blocked the back door, pushing and shoving Feini, even snatching the new clothes and lunch from her hands.
“Stop it, stop it now.” Feini couldn’t take it anymore, but all she could do was clutch her things tightly and protect them—she had no strength to fight back.
At that moment, the bullies noticed Qingshamu sitting nearby, glaring at them fiercely. They immediately stopped.
Feini seized the opportunity, quickly slipping out of the classroom and disappearing.
“Qingshamu big sis, we were just joking.” The bullies forced a few awkward laughs.
“…” Qingshamu only withdrew her cold gaze after seeing Feini leave safely.
She felt uneasy and suffocated, her mood growing heavier and her conscience more troubled.
Was she being a little too ruthless?
But as an undercover agent in the heart of the Magical Beast camp, she had to be cautious and ruthless, or how could she accomplish this great mission?
The Slayer Demon Sword Phoenix was a monster that had harmed countless people—it deserved to die.
Qingshamu convinced herself once more.
—————
On the other side, Xueyuedai and Shijietang Simon went again to the Prop Department Witch Teacher for help.
They finally extracted the data from the Beast Detector Box to see if their identities had been leaked.
Fortunately, the investigation progress was only about ten percent complete; it was impossible to fully uncover their identities. This device seemed extremely inefficient.
It only recorded one name: 【Phoenix the Parasitic Demon】.
A parasitic demon was just a low-class, sneaky little Demonic Beast, but no one recognized the name.
However, Simon showed no expression outwardly but was internally shocked because she recognized the name.
The world only knew the Demon-Slaying Sword, but only the Crimson Dragon Clan knew the Demon Sword’s true name.
Could it be… still alive?
A coincidence? No, it couldn’t be.
As a legendary Demonic Beast, Simon’s sixth sense warned her.
“Simon, do you know this name?” Xueyuedai asked.
“No.” Simon shook her head.
“We must be on guard against that Weapon Demon.” Xueyuedai said. “Don’t pity her anymore.”
“I know.” Simon suddenly recalled that Feini’s true identity was a trap weapon.
She must be connected to the Slayer Demon Sword.
She’s definitely hiding something from us.
