Without turning his head, Chen Xiao lightly traced a line in the air with his fingers, and another villager who had rushed at him fell to the ground silently. His voice carried a playful chuckle: "Because I like to see you struggle, Miss Officer."
Yumi Miyamoto bit her lip, her fingers clenched tightly beneath her police uniform, her eyes misty with tears, "You knew perfectly well that I should arrest you..."
"Are you willing to do that?" Chen Xiao suddenly turned around and winked at her in the moonlight.
At that moment, his handsome face was so close, and the shadow cast by his long eyelashes made Miyamoto Yumi's heart skip a beat.
In this ambiguous atmosphere, the seemingly kind-faced monk suddenly let out a roar that was not human. His body began to twist and swell, and strange black patterns appeared on his skin. Curved horns even grew from his originally bald head.
"Hahaha!" The monk's voice turned hoarse and terrifying. "Do you think you can escape? Tonight, you will all become sacrifices to the mountain god!"
His arms suddenly stretched out, his fingertips turning into sharp claws, and he reached out to grab Miyamoto Yumi.
Chen Xiao reacted quickly, grabbing her waist and pulling her into his arms, then spinning her around to avoid him.
Yumi Miyamoto could clearly feel the warmth emanating from his body. Looking up, Chen Xiao's handsome face was so captivating in the moonlight.

Chapter 42 The Sow Goddess? All My Women
"Focus, officer," Chen Xiao whispered in her ear, his warm breath making her ears burn. "After I deal with this monster, I'll slowly train you."
"Who, who asked you to train them!" Miyamoto Yumi pushed him away in embarrassment and anger, but she had to admit that Chen Xiao looked damn handsome protecting her at that moment.
The monk—now perhaps more accurately described as a monster—had been completely transformed. He was over three meters tall, with bat-like fleshy wings sprouting from his back, and spewing black mist from his mouth. Wherever that mist touched, vegetation withered instantly.
"Watch out!" Miyamoto Yumi exclaimed.
Chen Xiao's eyes blazed with blue light as he activated his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception at full power. His figure flickered like a ghost, each strike precisely slicing through the monster's "death lines." Surprisingly, however, those wounds were slowly healing.
"It's useless!" the monster laughed wildly. "I have received the mountain god's blessing and am immortal!"
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, then suddenly appeared beside Miyamoto Yumi: "Can I borrow your gun?"
Before she could react, Chen Xiao had already drawn the sidearm from her waist. His slender fingers lightly traced the gun's shaft, channeling the power of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception into it. The bullet whistled out, striking precisely a nearly invisible "death line" on the monster's forehead.
"No...it's impossible..." The monster's eyes widened, and its body began to disintegrate, turning into a pool of foul-smelling black water.
Yumi Miyamoto stared blankly at the scene until Chen Xiao shoved the gun back into her hand: "Returning it to its rightful owner, my officer."
On the way back, Miyamoto Yumi remained silent. In the distance, the shrine in Shirazuki Village was still brightly lit, and eerie chanting could be faintly heard. She knew that this crisis was far from over.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Xiao suddenly asked, his voice unusually gentle.
Yumi Miyamoto stopped in her tracks, her eyes gleaming with a complex light in the moonlight: "Why did you save me? You could have..."
“Because,” Chen Xiao suddenly leaned closer, his nose almost touching hers, “I like seeing you in your police uniform.” His fingers gently brushed against her disheveled collar, “especially… when it’s messed up.”
"Pervert!" Miyamoto Yumi punched him in the chest, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Their breaths mingled in the night. In the distance, the firelight of the shrine illuminated Chen Xiao's profile, making him appear almost eerily handsome. Miyamoto Yumi knew she should push him away, but her body seemed to be bewitched, unable to move.
“Let’s go,” Chen Xiao finally let go of her and took her hand. “Everyone in the villa is still waiting for us.”
Yumi Miyamoto let him lead her, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She didn't know what the future held, but at this moment, this dangerous boy gave her an unprecedented sense of security.
The lights of the distant shrine seemed like a pair of prying eyes, silently watching their departing figures.
As Miyamoto Yumi walked hand in hand with Chen Xiao along the path back to the villa, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.
The night wind ruffled her disheveled police uniform, but it couldn't dispel the chilling image of Chen Xiao in battle from her mind.
"What's wrong with me..." she cursed herself inwardly, as Hideyoshi Hashiba's face suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Her boyfriend, who had always treated her gently, now made her feel a pang of guilt that she couldn't quite explain.
"Thinking about your boyfriend?" Chen Xiao suddenly spoke up, as if he could read her mind. "Isn't Miyamoto Yumi the girlfriend of Hashiba Hideyoshi from the Akai family? Chen Xiao has watched the Conan anime."
Under the moonlight, a faint smile played on his lips. "How about... getting something better?"
"Shut up!" Miyamoto Yumi said angrily, shaking off his hand, but almost tripped because of the sudden movement.
Chen Xiao quickly wrapped his arm around her waist, instantly closing the distance between them so close that they could feel each other's breath.
Just then, a deafening clap of thunder suddenly came from the direction of the villa in the distance.
Blue and white lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the entire mountain as if it were daytime.
"Oh no!" Chen Xiao's expression changed, and he grabbed Miyamoto Yumi and ran away quickly.
Outside the villa, Misaka Mikoto is locked in a fierce battle.
She knelt on one knee, her short brown hair standing on end slightly due to static electricity, and her bangs flashing with a dangerous electric light.
Dozens of charred remains of dolls were scattered on the ground around them, but more grotesque dolls were pouring out of the darkness.
"Damn it... how come these guys never stop fighting..." Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth and tossed a coin, and the blue and white lightning spear instantly pierced through the front row of dolls.
But her breathing had become rapid, clearly indicating that she had exhausted a great deal of energy.
At the villa window, Miu, Harukaze, Sayoko, and the others watched nervously. Yukino Yukinoshita calmly reassured everyone, but her fingers unconsciously gripped the window frame tightly.
"Railgun, step back!"
A familiar voice came from behind her. Before Misaka Mikoto could turn around, she was lifted up by a pair of strong arms.
Chen Xiao carried her and gracefully retreated a few steps, just in time to avoid a sudden attack from the puppets.
"Who...who gave you permission to hug me!" Misaka Mikoto struggled in his arms, her face flushed red. "And don't call me Railgun!"
Chen Xiao smiled and put her down, then casually ruffled her frizzy hair: "Yes, yes, my Mikoto."
Misaka Mikoto became even more shy.
Yumi Miyamoto had already drawn her gun, but when she saw the lewd faces of the dolls, she couldn't help but feel a chill: "What the hell are these things...?"
"Looks like it's the 'welcoming ceremony' from Shiratani Village." Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with blue light, and his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception activated again. With a flick of his finger, the puppets in the front row instantly disintegrated.
Misaka Mikoto's eyes widened in surprise: "What...what kind of ability do you have...?"
"It's a secret~" Chen Xiao winked at her, then suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "But if you want to know, we can talk about it privately..."
"Die!" Misaka Mikoto unleashed a bolt of electricity at Chen Xiao, but he easily dodged it. The current left a charred mark on the ground.
As Miyamoto Yumi watched the interaction between the two, a strange pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
But she quickly dismissed the thought and focused on shooting the approaching doll.
After being repelled, the puppets began shaking their heads, making creaking sounds, and opened their mouths to speak: "How interesting." Suddenly, all the puppets spoke at once, "These girls could have become sow goddesses! But you, kid, keep getting in the way!"
P.S.: Anyone interested? What would you like to see after White Turbid Village? Anti-Demon Ninja? Night Shift Ward? The Final Train Pervert? Valkyrie? Black Beast? These are all must-sees.
Chapter Forty-Three: Defeating the Silver Demon Puppet and Challenging the White Turbid Mountain God
Chen Xiao shielded Misaka Mikoto behind him; in the moonlight, the lines of his profile were as sharp as if carved by a knife.
The puppets' eerie synchronized speech made the whole scene even more chilling. But Chen Xiao merely curled the corners of his mouth in disdain.
"A sow goddess?" He scoffed, snapping his long fingers lightly. "My woman isn't some sow. Even if she were, she could only belong to me, understand?"
"How laughable, human! You have no idea how terrifying our Mountain God is!" The puppets' voices rose and fell. "We are unkillable and inexhaustible! Why don't you submit to us and offer your women to us as sow goddesses?"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with intense blue light. The power of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception drew a graceful arc in the night, instantly shattering the puppets in the front row into pieces. But what was unsettling was that the fragments began to writhe on the ground, seemingly trying to recombine.
“Chen Xiao…” Misaka Mikoto instinctively grabbed his sleeve, a faint spark of electricity crackling between her fingertips, “These things… are not right…”
Chen Xiao felt the girl trembling behind him, turned around and gently pinched her cheek: "Are you scared?" His voice was incredibly gentle, completely different from the fierceness he had shown during the battle.
"Who, who's afraid?!" Misaka Mikoto jumped back like a cat with its fur standing on end, but her reddened ears betrayed her true feelings. She frantically pulled out a coin, "Watch me blast them all to smithereens!"
Miyamoto's gaze kept drifting uncontrollably towards Chen Xiao, wavering between morality and justice.
Chen Xiao, a murderer, has saved me time and time again! What should I do?
"Yumi! To the left!" Chen Xiao suddenly shouted.
Miyamoto Yumi snapped back to reality and saw several dolls rushing towards her from the side. She hastily fired her gun, but only hit one.
At the critical moment, a blue-white lightning bolt flashed, shattering the remaining puppets.
"Th-thank you..." Miyamoto Yumi awkwardly turned her face away, not daring to look Misaka Mikoto in the eye.
Misaka Mikoto gave a soft snort and said awkwardly, "I didn't save you on purpose... it just happened..."
Seeing the two of them acting awkwardly, Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh. He walked between them and put his arm around each of their shoulders, saying, "My two young ladies, now is not the time to be sulking."
"Who's your young lady!" the two retorted in unison, then exchanged an awkward glance because of their tacit understanding.
From the window of the distant villa, Sayoko watched this scene with worry. A gentle breeze blew by, her long pink hair fluttering in the wind: "Mom, Chen Xiaojun is really amazing... and..."
"And what?" Sayoko asked softly.
Spring Breeze winked playfully: "And Mom, you've been watching him the whole time, haven't you?"
Sayoko's cheeks flushed instantly, her mature elegance vanishing in an instant. She said shyly, "He's helping us fight, of course I have to watch him."
The ground began to shake, and all the fragments of the dolls floated into the air, assembling into a gigantic, grotesque monster. Its head was made up of dozens of twisted human faces pieced together, emitting a chilling, shrill laugh.
"I'm doomed..." Misaka Mikoto's face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly from overusing her power.
Chen Xiao's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception gleamed with an eerie blue light in the darkness as he precisely locked onto the core deep within the deformed monster's body—a pulsating black tumor covered in strange runes.
"That's it! That's the core of the summoning doll. After killing that monster, the doll will stop summoning, and the monster will die." Chen Xiao grabbed Misaka Mikoto's wrist and pointed her finger at the monster's chest. Their hands were pressed tightly together, and he could feel a subtle electric current emanating from the girl's palm, a tingling sensation spreading from his fingertips.
Misaka Mikoto's face instantly turned red: "Idiot! Don't grab my hand like that!" But she still quickly pulled out a coin, dangerous sparks dancing in her short brown hair.
"Three...two...one!"
As Chen Xiao counted down, the coin traced a perfect parabola in the air. Misaka Mikoto's bangs burst forth with dazzling blue-white lightning, and the Lightning Spear pierced the night sky at the speed of light, precisely striking the spot Chen Xiao had indicated.
"boom--!"
Amidst the deafening explosion, the monster's core was completely shattered.
The distorted faces let out shrill screams, and the entire massive body collapsed like a sandcastle. The iron sand sword, carrying the residual power of lightning, drew countless blue and white trails in the air, annihilating all the remaining fragments.
"I succeeded..." Misaka Mikoto's legs went weak, and she almost fell. The continuous use of her ability had exhausted her; even her bangs had lost their usual vibrancy.
Chen Xiao swiftly wrapped his arms around her waist, and the girl's petite body was completely enveloped in his embrace. Misaka Mikoto could clearly feel the warmth of his chest and the faint scent of mint.
"Let go of me..." Her protest was barely audible, completely unlike the usual "Miss Misaka".
"I won't let go." Chen Xiao grinned mischievously, tightening his arms around her and whispering in her ear, "Weren't you quite the tough one just now?"
