Chapter 50: Catching Monsters
Rabbit Man glanced at the Moon Guards searching everywhere, and thought of the waiter at the inn behind him. He said to Jiang Yuan without hiding his voice, "The portraits in those adults' claws look so familiar."

Jiang Yuan didn't know what Rabbit Man meant, but seeing him glance at the Moon Guards, he agreed and said, "Yes, they look familiar."

The leader of the Moon Guards, the rabbit demon in a blue and white robe, listened carefully to the conversation and when he saw that they were about to search the inn behind them, he hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward to talk to the Rabbit Hero.

The blue-clothed rabbit demon walked up to the Rabbit Hero, saluted him with his paws, and asked, "My dear brother, I wonder what you mean by the familiar portrait?"

Upon hearing this, Rabbit Man pretended to be terrified, pulled Jiang Yuan back two steps, covered his mouth lightly, but his voice came out from the gaps between his claws and toes. He only said, "Ah? I didn't say anything just now!"

The blue-clothed rabbit demon narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the demon in front of him. Although the hat covered most of his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly, the familiar smell on his body revealed his identity.

Turns out they are of the same kind!
Seeing that he was playing dumb, he refused to fall for it and said, "We are investigating under the orders of the Palace Master. If you have any clues to report, you will be rewarded."

Rabbit Man and Jiang Yuan looked at each other. The next second, Rabbit Man showed a look of surprise. He rubbed his paws and asked, "Can I ask first, how much is the reward?"

With just a few words and actions, he portrayed the image of being cheap and mercenary to perfection.

The blue rabbit demon showed a bit of disdain in his eyes and replied: "As long as you provide clues, whether true or false, you will get fifty shells. If the clues are true, you can get an additional three hundred shells."

When he said this, he did not lower his voice, and even intentionally or unintentionally added a bit of demonic power to his voice, so that all the demons on the whole street could hear it clearly.

The demons were stunned when they heard that sentence. Time seemed to stand still at this moment. It was rare for the street to be so quiet.

But after just a few breaths, the scene broke out to be even more lively than before. They gathered in groups of three or four, exchanging information or analyzing clues.

As soon as the blue-clothed rabbit demon finished speaking, the Rabbit Hero couldn't wait to say, "Last night, we stayed at the inn behind us. I thought we would be the only guests of this inn, but after us, five more demons came to the inn. Although the lights were dim, I still saw the leader of the demons. His figure was very similar to the one in your portrait." After saying that, he stretched out his claws towards the blue-clothed rabbit demon and said, "This is what I wanted to say. The fifty shells you just mentioned..."

The blue-clothed rabbit demon took out fifty shells from the bag on his waist and looked at the "Youlai Inn" behind the Rabbit Hero.

He asked casually, "This inn is magnificent, with a large area and many rooms. In addition, it is the Moon Bay Lantern Festival these two days, so there are a lot of monsters. How come there are only three of you staying here?"

Jiang Yuan was about to answer, but the little demon who was watching the fun on the side said first in order to win the favor of this adult: "It's because this inn is a rip-off. The waiter not only charges a high room fee, but also treats guests very badly."

Seeing that a demon had already answered, Jiang Yuan continued to lower his presence.

The blue-clothed rabbit demon counted out fifty shells and placed them on the rabbit hero's paw. Then he frowned and looked towards the inn. He turned his head and said to the servants behind him, "Go search in there."

"Yes!"

Although they agreed readily, they did not act immediately. Seeing that the other monsters were silent, one of the servants bravely asked, "Sir, do you want to search the guest rooms as well?"

"Search." The blue-clothed rabbit demon made a prompt decision and added, "If there are any suspicious demons in the inn, check their waists. If you find a sword wound on their waist, capture them immediately!"

"As ordered!"
