Chapter 10 Mysterious Skeleton Li Youyang's hand holding the teacup...

Li Youyang paused for a moment while holding the teacup: "That is indeed courting death."

Jiuying smiled and said, "But I destroyed all those puppets. I also brought here what they called the Heaven-Swallowing Corpse. I don't think it belongs to the demon clan. You are knowledgeable and can see what this is."

As he said this, he threw a piece of bone on the table.

Li Youyang's sword brushed across the skeleton: "It's not a demon."

Jiuying took another sip of tea. "I'm not asking you to rule it out. I know it's not the demon clan. I also know it's not the monster clan or the human clan! Do you know what this is?"

Li Youyang shook his head: "I don't know either."

"If you didn't know, just tell me earlier. It's such a waste of time." Jiuying said as he put the skeleton away. "By the way, I also learned something interesting during this trip to the Zhuo family. Do you want to know?"

Jiuying looked at Li Youyang complacently.

Li Youyang said calmly: "I don't want to."

"I knew you would... huh? Don't want to? Did your curiosity get the better of you?"

"Yes, I let you eat it."

Jiuying put down the teacup: "I am a snake! Not a dog. You are the dog, and your whole family are dogs!"

Li Youyang narrowed his eyes dangerously, then took the initiative to refill Jiuying's cup of tea.

Jiuying picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp: "You're smart... Ugh! Your tea..."

"Realgar, it can help you relieve your anger."

"Li Youyang, you f---" Jiuying slammed the table and stood up.

Li Youyang looked over coldly, and Jiuying swallowed back the rest of his words. He had suffered a lot at the hands of Li Youyang in the past, and that was how the two became good friends.

"What news?"

Jiuying curled his lips and sat down again: "I knew you were such a gossip lover, how could I not be curious."

Li Youyang was silent.

Jiuying continued, "Zhuo Kai's wife is having an affair with the housekeeper."

Li Youyang: ...

“No need…”

Jiuying interrupted with a smile: "I haven't finished yet. This housekeeper has demonic energy, most likely from the demon clan. I was thinking of directly wiping out the Zhuo family, but now there is such a demon clan trouble, it saves me from taking action."

Was it a coincidence that the corpses of unknown origin and the demons appeared at the Zhuo family at the same time? As Li Youyang was lost in thought, Jiuying raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "What are you thinking about?"

Li Youyang frowned.

Jiuying continued, "Yingzhou has been ravaged like that. I can't live here any longer. I'll just have to stay with you for a while..."

Li Youyang interrupted: "I am now considered useless by everyone. Why are you staying here?"

Jiuying thought for a moment and said, "That's easy. Just say I'm your spirit pet or your mistress."

Li Youyang just took a sip of tea and choked.

"Ha...hahaha...Li Youyang, you can also be so embarrassed, haha..."

Jiuying laughed so hard that he fell on the table. Li Youyang's face was cold and gloomy: "Are you sure you want to be my spiritual pet?"

"I don't necessarily have to be a spirit pet. Look, I'm handsome and talented. You won't lose anything if you tell others that I'm your mistress."

Li Youyang no longer wanted to deal with this person and stood up to leave, but Jiuying subconsciously grabbed his arm and said, "How can you still be so incapable of taking a joke? I'll just take a small loss and be your spirit pet for a while. But first of all, once I find a suitable mansion, we'll end the spirit contract."

Li Youyang was speechless. It sounded as if he really wanted to keep this snake as his pet.

After the two of them formed a pact, Jiuying was about to speak when Li Youyang cast a seal and transformed him into a small snake as thick as a thumb.

Jiuying: ...

Li Youyang found Nangong Liuchu and Beiliyuan, carrying the little snake. "Who of you has time to help look after my new pet, Xiaojiu?"

Nangong Liuchu took a step back. "Master, I've always been afraid of this thing. I'd better forget it."

Li Youyang directly threw the snake to Bei Liyuan: "Then I leave it to you."

Bei Liyuan bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, disciple will definitely take good care of it."

Li Youyang nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Jiuying was immediately annoyed: Li Youyang! You are so cruel.

At this moment, Li Youyang suddenly stopped and said: "If it doesn't obey, you can just castrate it."

Jiuying: ...

Beiliyuan:???

Nangong Liuchu:!!!

After Li Youyang left, Jiuying was angry for a while. Really, who was he wronging himself for? It was just because he saw that Li Youyang was too weak and wanted to stay by his side to protect him. But he was so stupid, he didn't know how to appreciate a good person.

In the bedroom, Li Youyang tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about what happened during the day. He had always thought that the Zhuo family's target was the Nine-Star Begonia, but he had never expected that the other party was actually planning to target the Nine Infants. That skeleton was neither human, demon nor monster, so what was its origin? If the Zhuo family's affairs were related to the demons, then why did the demons go to the trouble of resurrecting this skeleton?

If he wanted to get to the bottom of this matter, he had to catch that demon, but with his current identity and cultivation level, he really couldn't do anything.

"Li Youyang, do you want to go to the Zhuo family to watch a play?" Jiuying asked excitedly while leaning against the window.

Li Youyang frowned. As expected, his low cultivation level meant he couldn't succeed. Even with the spiritual bond, he couldn't control Jiuying for long. "No."

Jiuying said again: "Are you really not going to watch the adultery scene?"

Li Youyang turned over and faced Jiuying: "No."

Jiuying curled his lips and said, "Then don't you want to ask that demon what exactly this body that tricked the Zhuo family into resurrecting is?"

Li Youyang stood up and said, "Let's go."

Jiuying smiled: "I just like your personality."

When they arrived at Zhuo's house, Jiuying took Li Youyang to an abandoned house in the backyard of Zhuo's house. The room was full of passion and love.

Li Youyang's ears turned red. Jiuying whispered, "I just made a puppet to send a message to Zhuo Kai. I think he'll be here soon."

Li Youyang: ...

"You are so mean."

Jiuying snorted, "A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. If they dare to do something, they will have to bear the consequences. Here they come."

Li Youyang looked in the direction Jiuying pointed, and saw Zhuo Kai rushing over without even having time to put on his outer robe.

After hearing the unbearable noise in the room, he kicked the door open, and then saw his wife and the housekeeper in disheveled clothes, fighting fiercely. He was so angry that he almost died.

Then came the woman's plea for mercy and the housekeeper's screams. Finally, Zhuo Kai killed them both to cover up the scandal. The demon had already left the housekeeper's body, and Jiuying took Li Youyang to chase after it.

A moment later, the two blocked the demon's way.

"You demon are truly heartless. One night of marriage brings a hundred days of grace. You slept with someone's wife for so long, yet you only cared about escaping for yourself."

The housekeeper's eyes darkened. "I wondered how that Zhuo Kai could find out. It turns out it was all your doing. Die!"

However, the thunder was loud but the rain was small, and he was captured alive by Jiuying in one move: "You...you are the great demon Jiuying!"

Jiuying clapped his hands and said, "I'm not blind. Let me ask you, what exactly was that thing you used to revive Zhuo Kai?"

The demon suddenly laughed: "What it is, you will know one day, but when that day comes, it will be the day when both your human and demon races will be destroyed."

The moment he finished speaking, he exploded and died. Jiuying formed a formation in time to protect the two of them, and only retracted it after the demonic energy dissipated. "The demons are really determined. Destroying both the human and demon races with just a bone club is simply unrealistic. I'll destroy this thing later. I won't let them destroy anything."

Li Youyang shook his head helplessly. This demon chose to self-destruct because he was worried that they would use the formation to interrogate him. What was the existence that destroyed both the human and demon races? "Leave this thing behind for now."

Jiuying sneered: "No, Li Youyang, don't tell me you really believed the devil's lies?"

Li Youyang frowned.

Jiuying was stunned. "Oh my god, you actually believed it. Well, if you said you'd keep it, then keep it. How much space can a piece of bone stick take up?"

…

In the following days, Li Youyang no longer thought about the Zhuo family. The demon was dead and there was no clue except for the skeleton. If he wanted to know the demon's plan, he had to wait until the next demon appeared. Besides, the demon must have been planning this for more than a day or two. It must not be easy for them to fail for so long. It was not certain whether his body could survive to see that day. He was too lazy to think about it anymore and went back to his previous leisurely life. The only difference was that Jiuying, a noisy and fool, was by his side.

…

"Honestly, Li Youyang, you have a really good eye for choosing a disciple. Bei Liyuan is extremely talented and will definitely be a prodigy in the future. When do you plan to teach him?"

Li Youyang was silent. He had not yet decided whether to teach Bei Liyuan. The more talented a person is, the easier it is for him to get lost. He was afraid of teaching another Nan Liujing.

Jiuying noticed that Li Youyang looked strange, so he said, "These past few days, I've felt something's not right with Bei Liyuan. I suggest you pay more attention to him."

Li Youyang frowned. After Zhuo Jun left, could it be that someone still bullied Bei Liyuan?

…

Bei Liyuan went to the academy as usual early in the morning. After the morning class, Bei Liyuan felt a little sleepy because he had slept late last night. Just as he was about to lie down for a nap, he heard the disciples next to him whispering:

"Looking at this, I guess Cheng Yanjun tortured her again last night!"

"That villain Cheng Yanjun spent so much money on Bei Liyuan that he must get it back. Looking at Bei Liyuan's condition, I think he might be in for a night of torture."

"Alas! How pitiful!"

"Why should I feel sorry for her? She's willingly become Cheng Yanjun's concubine. She might even be enjoying it. After all, Cheng Yanjun often hangs out at Ji Le Fang, so his skills must be pretty good... Ah! Bei Liyuan! What are you doing?"

The disciple covered his face and roared.

Bei Liyuan stared at the disciple coldly and said in a deep voice, "You can say whatever you want to me, but I will never allow you to tarnish the reputation of our Master!"

"Ha... How ridiculous! Mr. Chengyan still has a good reputation?! Beiliyuan, are you crazy?"

Bei Liyuan raised his hand and punched again. In the end, the three of them wrestled with each other. One disciple didn't notice and punched Zhang Xianchang in the face who came to teach. Zhang Xianchang was furious and dragged them to the Discipline Hall.

Luo Yinzhu rubbed his brows in a headache: "Bei Liyuan, why did you fight with your fellow disciples this time?"

Bei Liyuan was silent. He was already disappointed with Luo Yinzhu about the Zhuo family's affairs.
