"Ding-ling-ling~"

Yue Jiu Nian was still searching for the direction from which the bell sound came. She walked and stopped, and finally found a large black rabbit chewing on grass in a clump of grass.

"Crunch~ Crunch~"

The big black rabbit is much larger than a regular rabbit, several times its size. I don't know if it's a breed issue or if it's been eating too much, but it's unusually large.

When Yue Jiu Nian discovered the big black rabbit, the big black rabbit also discovered Yue Jiu Nian. However, this rabbit was not afraid of people at all. Even though it saw someone watching it, it calmly continued to eat its grass, and seemed to be enjoying it.

"Hey, you've got some nerve, bunny. You saw me and didn't even run away. Aren't you afraid I'll stew you?"

Seeing the big black rabbit so calm, Yue Jiu Nian found it a little funny. She bent down, picked up the big black rabbit that was still eating grass, and then stroked its long ears.

"Ding-ling-ling~"

When Yue Jiu Nian picked up the big black rabbit, she discovered that someone had hung a large bell around the rabbit's neck. It turned out that the sound of the bell she had heard earlier came from there.

"Hmm? Is it a domesticated pet? Who is its owner?"

Yue Jiu Nian touched the bell and said, seeing that the rabbit didn't react, she picked up the big black rabbit and left the grass. The big black rabbit, which had been deprived of its right to eat grass, did not resist and obediently let Yue Jiu Nian carry it away.

The woods grew increasingly dark, and the temperature gradually dropped. Yue Jiu Nian walked along, holding a flashlight in one hand and carrying the rabbit in the other. She felt the air around her had become much colder, and wondered if a bunch of ghosts and monsters would come out again at this temperature.

Just as she was thinking about this, a large patch of white mist appeared ahead, with specks of greenish will-o'-the-wisps floating in it, and wandering ghosts.

Yue Jiu Nian's expression darkened when she saw this. After all that trouble, she hadn't accomplished anything of importance, and all she got to do was witness ghosts.

Fortunately, the ghosts didn't bother Yue Jiunian this time; they just floated around without getting close.

Since there are ghosts ahead, I'll just go around them," Yue Jiu Nian thought to herself. She changed direction and decided to leave the forest.

I didn't expect that changing direction would stop me from seeing ghosts, but I would encounter a ghost wall and be unable to get out.

The thick fog grew denser and denser, soon enveloping the entire forest. Yue Jiu Nian laughed in the pitch-black environment, tugging at the long ears of the big black rabbit in her arms and saying, "Oh ho~ We can't get out, what should we do?"

The big black rabbit snuggled into her arms, seemingly afraid of having its ears pulled, but Yue Jiu Nian had no intention of letting it go. She continued to tug at the rabbit's ears and said casually, "This formation of yours is indeed foolproof for ordinary people. People trapped in the white mist will be eaten out of their fear. Isn't that a lot of fun?"

Originally, the big black rabbit looked innocent and naive, but after hearing Yue Jiu's words, it froze, and its originally gray-black eyes turned blood red in an instant!

Actually, not all rabbits have red eyes. Their eye color is usually related to the color of their fur, so black rabbits have black eyes.

After Yue Jiu Nian finished speaking, she was still tugging at the rabbit's ears. She looked at the rabbit, who was trying to appear calm, and said, "Do you know why I noticed something was wrong with you? It's because the way you were eating grass gave you away. Other rabbits look happy and content when they eat grass, but you, you don't like it and you still force yourself to eat it. Who can't see through your act?"

"Squeak squeak squeak!~"

Just after Yue Jiunian finished speaking, the big black rabbit in her arms suddenly broke free from Yue Jiunian's embrace and changed its appearance, transforming from an incredibly cute rabbit into an extremely ugly rat!

The large rat was about the size of an adult mongrel dog. It had blood-red eyes, sharp teeth, a long tail, and black fur.

Yue Jiu Nian didn't show any surprise when she saw the big black rabbit turn into a big rat. She clapped her hands as if brushing off some dust and said, "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

The giant rat stood on the ground, staring at Yue Jiu Nian with its sinister eyes. Behind it, a hissing sound slowly came from behind, as several other rats of similar size ran out.

The big rat stared at Yue Jiu Nian for a while before speaking in human language: "Hehe~ So you're a demon too. That's perfect. We haven't eaten a demon in a long time. It'll be good for us to have some meat."

These rat demons have already devoured many people in this forest. Although it could tell that Yue Jiunian was also a demon, it couldn't tell what kind of demon she was. It only recognized her as a half-demon based on the faint demonic aura on her body.

In the demon realm, half-demons are always easy to bully, so these rat demons planned to eat Yue Jiu Nian.

When Yue Jiu Nian saw the rat demons appear, she guessed what they were up to. However, she didn't care because these little demons were no match for her, especially since she was a natural nemesis of the rat demons—the cat demon.

Yue Jiu Nian crossed her arms and shook her head as she looked at the several ugly rats: "I have to say, you guys are really something. You control the entire forest and even trap those ghosts here. Aren't you afraid that the people from the underworld will come after you?"

The big rat chuckled, its mouth splitting to reveal its yellowed, sharp teeth, and said in a hoarse, unpleasant voice, "Afraid? What is the underworld? This is our territory. Those ghosts are trapped here. As long as they can't get out of the underworld, they won't find out. Do you think we'd be afraid?"

"Oh, no wonder you were so confident, I see," Yue Jiu Nian nodded, suddenly realizing. "Alright, since that's the case, let's start fighting. By the way, you guys are really ugly~"

After Yue Jiunian finished speaking, she didn't waste any more words and started fighting with them. All the big rats pounced on Yue Jiunian and tried to bite her!

After laughing at the jokes made by the Demon King and Qingcheng, Yue Jiu Nian also understood why the Demon King had come to the human world.

"Alright, to be honest, I never expected that anyone in the wolf clan would dare to rebel. But you should hurry up and retrieve the phoenix blood essence. I'm worried that Greedy Wolf has already found a way to absorb the blood essence."

Yue Jiuling said worriedly.

Although she doesn't return to the demon realm often, she is still a member of the demon realm. In addition, she is good friends with Qingcheng, so Yue Jiuling is quite worried about the Phoenix Essence Blood. If the traitor Tanlang really succeeds, then the demon realm will probably be in chaos again.
