Chapter 186 The Senior's Bones Are Wild

As for why the Fu family agreed to Luoyinglou's somewhat strange marriage proposal, besides the fact that they could benefit from having a powerful backer, they also hoped that Luoyinglou would make some progress in their research on the Holy Maiden.

Then, through some means, we will take this method under our control and strengthen ourselves.

Given the choice between a saintly woman and the opportunity to help their family rise to prominence and enjoy lasting prosperity, they would naturally choose the second option.

Ultimately, it's all about using any means necessary to pursue power. This isn't surprising in the demon realm or the spirit realm, and there are quite a few cases where the victims or their accomplices retaliate against them.

However, the Holy Maiden of the Fu family seems to be more rebellious by nature. Bingdeng is already the fourth Holy Maiden to run away from their family. Every time a Holy Maiden runs away, the Fu family declines further.

The first and second Holy Maidens were of the same generation as the old patriarch, and they seem to have passed away, but Zhushan is still alive. Ever since this girl broke through to the peak of the Void Refinement stage, she goes home to bombard the ancestral home whenever she feels like it. Her two predecessors were similar to her.

If this happens a few more times, their defensive magic array will stop working.

After news of Bingdeng's escape reached the Fu family, some of the Fu family's demons were no longer willing to waste their energy on the Holy Maiden and send her for research. If it happened again, they would want to drag the old patriarch down from his position. If they couldn't win, they would secretly offer a bounty for his assassination.

It would be better to simply worship the saintess peacefully.

The two previous women I wanted to send away weren't familiar with the process, and the demons were indeed quite self-centered. The saintess received top-level treatment and was very powerful, so it was normal for her to run away, harbor resentment, and vandalize her home.

However, during the later periods of Zhushan and Bingdeng, they learned from their mistakes and specially bought "The Great Righteousness of the Human Family" and "The Filial Piety of the Human Family" to instill the concept of family in the Holy Maiden from a young age. They also reduced the supply of cultivation materials and repeatedly instructed other knowledgeable clansmen not to reveal their plans for the marriage alliance. They also made sure to maintain a good relationship with the Holy Maiden.

In the end, they still ran away!

The only slight improvement over the previous two was that at least the latter two were out on the run, so they didn't have to replace the entire set of furniture in the ancestral home.

The Fu family is currently arguing; on one hand, they don't want to do this anymore, and on the other hand, they are afraid that Luoyinglou will retaliate because they think they broke their promise.

Feng Huaijin casually explained the conflict of interests between the two families, then pulled out a handkerchief, unfolded it to reveal a pale little finger bone inside, and handed it forward.

He said without changing his expression, "Their current focus is on the Bone Firefly Demon, and they haven't done much research on the Demon Abyss."

"However, I brought the little finger bone of the Bone Firefly Demon that is enshrined in Luoying Tower. It might be able to sense the Demon Abyss. Brother, you can see if it will be useful."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Su Yu expectantly, his bright red eyes sparkling, as if waiting for praise.

Clearly, he genuinely felt he had done a fantastic job.

Su Yu's lips twitched slightly.

It can't be said that it wasn't great, after all, Twelve did investigate everything thoroughly and even brought back things that might lead to the Demon Abyss.

Using the remains of a demon as a guide, hmm...

It violates human ethics but not the laws of evil.

It seems there's no problem.

They're both demons!

But because of the lingering human moral values, Su Yu withdrew her gaze and asked slowly with a faint hope, "...Is there nothing else?"

Feng Huaijin folded the handkerchief over his little finger bone, gently placed it on the table, and shook his head.

Su Yu remained silent and began to switch to the demon race's mindset.

It's alright, this is the Demon Realm, so a dead demon is just a dead demon, without any additional meaning. Besides, it's just a little finger bone...

Can the Moon Demon Eye communicate with spirits? Perhaps he should apologize first.

She's at least a fellow disciple's ancestor's bone.

Su Yu sincerely said to the finger bone, "I have offended you greatly, please forgive me, senior."

Hmm, no response. I guess I'll just forgive him as a senior.

Su Yu combined the moral concepts of humans and demons very flexibly.

If there were other methods, he certainly wouldn't choose the finger bone as his first choice, but if there are no other methods, then letting the demonic ideology suppress human morality is acceptable.

Having apologized, Su Yu relaxed and worked with Twelve to figure out how to make the finger bone resonate with the Demon Abyss.

For example, could we channel some demonic energy into it?

...It doesn't seem to be of much use.

After a while, Su Yu and Feng Huaijin relaxed their guard and decided to look for other methods. They each searched their storage rings for any rare and precious materials that were related to the legends of the Demon Abyss.

At this moment, the little finger trembled and shook, then suddenly soared into the air, crashed through the window, and flew out of the window.

It was the sound of a window being smashed open.

It's the sound of a finger bone about to slip away from your hand.

The young morning sunlight streamed into the house, and the old finger bones eagerly rushed towards the light of freedom and youth, merging into the light.

Unlike flying swords, it left no trace of exhaust fumes.

Feng Huaijin was somewhat taken aback.

Su Yu was also caught off guard.

The bones of the elders are truly wild.

Can we say that it is truly the ancestor of Zhushan and Bingdeng?

Wait a minute, chase after them!

Su Yu slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and jumped out of the window.

Feng Huaijin followed Su Yu's movements at the same time.

That finger bone flew at an extremely high speed, perhaps because of its small size, which resulted in less resistance. After all, it was just a small, pure white finger bone without any skin.

Su Yu didn't know where it was going, but perhaps because they had previously channeled demonic energy into the little finger bone, the demonic energy the little finger bone used to fly freely now seemed to be theirs as well. So as long as the distance wasn't too far, he could still barely sense its location.

No, how can this finger bone move so fast?

Why does it always choose to go to those nooks and crannies? Does it know its size advantage so well?

With a head full of questions, Su Yu relied on her senses and followed Feng Huaijin several hundred meters behind that finger bone, wanting to see where it was going.

The white, slender finger bone flew into the sky, seemingly deftly discerning its direction, before swooping down, passing through various narrow gaps in the street, from the east of the city to a tavern on a street in the west, finally reaching its target.

"Ouch! Who hit me?!"

"There's a hidden weapon!"

A finger bone struck hard on the bald head, leaving a red mark.

Not only his forehead, but the back of his head also seemed to be shiny.

The bald demon jumped up on the spot, looking annoyed and ferocious. Without looking closely, he grabbed the finger bone that was floating near his forehead and circling around, as if it wanted to hit him a few more times. He held it in his palm and looked around for an enemy.

The group of demons at the same table and the tables around them also stood up; they must be in cahoots with the bald demon.

Just then, Su Yu and Feng Huaijin, who had been tracking the finger bone and had been accelerating, caught up with it.

The two demons hurriedly entered the tavern, looking around as if searching for something.

The bald man immediately realized that these two weren't there for drinks.

What are you doing here if you're not a drinker?

"Fine! The thing that hit me earlier was yours, wasn't it?!"

He stretched out the hand holding the "hidden weapon" as evidence.

...Wait a minute, why does that thing in his hand look so much like a demon bone?
