"No! No! I don’t understand what you’re talking about!"
"Fatty Bro! Hurry up and take them out!"
"...Master... you can’t toy with me like this... I’m your most loyal puppy... sniff... don’t abandon me..."
Beside him, the female vampire’s withered form writhed under the sacred light. The werewolf’s face twisted in grief as he begged.
Pang Cheng frowned deeply at the bizarre human-werewolf duo before him, like some stage play gone wrong.
His suspicious gaze locked onto Little Green. "Do you truly want your pet dead? Or are you using me to silence him?"
"Huh?!"
"Impossible!"
"I’ve done nothing wrong—I don’t need that!"
Little Green shook her head frantically. Pang Cheng eased his suppression of the werewolf slightly.
"Wanting this werewolf dead? You’re definitely hiding something," he pressed.
But Little Green only blinked in confusion. "Huh? Fatty Bro, what are you even saying? I’m just scared he’ll hurt more people!"
"Kill him already! He’s a huge threat!"
"Hmph. If he gave you his soul imprint, why fear him? Unless you’re a little demoness yourself!"
"Now I don’t want to kill this wolf. I’ll take him in for questioning."
"I’ll find out what secret you’re hiding, little girl!"
Pang Cheng turned to Liu Xiyun. "Miss Liu, is it true? Did he really give his soul imprint to this girl and pledge loyalty?"
"And—this werewolf inherited the Divine Gene of Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god?"
Little Green crossed her arms, shooting Pang Cheng a scornful glare. "Demoness? *You’re* the demoness! Your whole family’s demonesses!"
"I’m an adorable cutie, that’s what! Hmph!"
Liu Xiyun watched silently, her expression unreadable. Calmly, she nodded. "Yes. He carries a Western god’s Divine Gene. Whether it’s Anubis... I can’t confirm."
"But he did give his soul imprint to Little Green. He serves her now."
"Then why did she demand his death?" Pang Cheng asked, baffled.
Liu Xiyun could only smile helplessly.
She never could follow Little Green’s wiring.
The girl had always been... peculiar.
"Something’s off!" Pang Cheng declared, fixing his gaze on Little Green. "I’ve been a detective for twenty years—I swear this little demoness is hiding something!"
"We can’t kill a werewolf with a god’s Divine Gene. And this girl? She’s coming with me for interrogation!"
"No way!" Little Green shook her head violently. "I belong only to Brother Qin! I won’t stay with a greasy fatso like you!"
"What did you say?!" Pang Cheng’s eyes bulged. Fury flared. "I’ve hated being called ‘fat’ for decades—especially with ‘dead’ in front!"
"Brat! I’ll deal with these dark creatures first—*then* you!"
Pang Cheng stomped the ground, launching himself skyward. Hands flashing through seals, he roared: "Great Light Mantra—Seal of the Radiant Buddha!"
Two swastika-shaped golden seals shot from his palms, slamming into the werewolf and vampire pinned under the Buddha’s light.
The wolf and bat’s surging auras instantly crushed flat against the earth.
"Light Bind!"
Sacred ropes of light coiled around them, sealing their threat.
Only then did Pang Cheng waddle toward Little Green.
Before he could reach out, she shrieked and ducked behind Liu Xiyun.
"Waaah! Sister Liu, save me! This fatty’s dangerous! He wants to kidnap me as his forced bride!"
Pang Cheng’s face twitched.
Liu Xiyun sighed before he could speak. "Little Green’s like this—sometimes sensible, sometimes childish. Please don’t take it personally, Mr. Pang. I vouch for her. She’s harmless."
Pang Cheng frowned at the girl peeking out from behind Liu Xiyun, sticking out her tongue.
"What if she’s acting?"
Liu Xiyun stayed silent.
Honestly? She’d wondered the same.
The perfectly timed pills. The conveniently inherited Divine Gene. Too many coincidences.
*Did Qin Ling really send her with all this?*
She chose not to mention Qin Ling’s involvement with the Divine Gene. Let it stay vague.
Soon, military forces secured Luxuria District A. Dragon Squad members hauled away the werewolf and vampire.
And Little Green? Under Pang Cheng’s strict orders, Liu Xiyun took the strange girl under her watch.
