Previously, the debt to the bank was nearly 700 million yuan. Old Master Fu helped pay off half of the debt, leaving 350 million yuan.
During this time, her master, four senior brothers, and she worked hard to pay off their debts, but they still owe the bank 120 million.
The reason why they were able to repay more than 200 million yuan in debt in such a short time was because their senior brothers took out all their savings to repay the debt, especially the third senior brother, who had run a coffin shop for many years and made a lot of money. He repaid more than 100 million yuan.
Looking at the bill for 120 million, Chu Yu decided to sell the magic pearl to pay off her debts.
The Demon Pearl possesses immense spiritual energy and cannot be sold to others indiscriminately. If it were bought by someone with malicious intent and used to cultivate evil ways, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just to be on the safe side, she went to Hongfeng Temple to find Daoist Yunxiao and asked him to help her find a buyer.
Upon learning of this, Daoist Lingxiao immediately expressed his desire to buy the demonic pearl.
The back mountain of Hongfeng Temple has suppressed some demons and monsters. Recently, the seal has loosened. In order to strengthen the seal, a very strong spiritual power is needed. The spiritual power of the Demon Pearl can fill this gap.
Chu Yu agreed to sell it to him without hesitation, and the deal was eventually completed at a discounted price of 120 million, which was just enough to pay off the debt.
After making the payment, Chu Yu happily went to the bank to settle the debt.
As they left the bank, the amount on their bills became zero, and they no longer had to live a life of desperately trying to earn money and scrimping and saving to pay off their debts.
Chu Yu was secretly delighted and quickly took a picture of the bank's settlement statement with her phone and sent it to the Qingxuan Temple group, tagging her four senior brothers.
[Fellow disciples, I sold the magic orb for 120 million, which just paid off my debts. Now that the debts are gone, we are free.]
The senior students came online quickly.
Senior Brother: [Why didn't you keep any of the money from selling the Demon Orbs for yourself? You used it all to pay off your debts!]
Third Senior Brother: [Your senior brother is right. You should keep some money for yourself. The other senior brothers are working to pay off those debts, so you don't need to worry at all.]
Fourth Senior Brother: [Seconded!]
Chu Yu was touched. She hadn't expected that when she told her senior brothers that she had paid off her debts, their first reaction wasn't happiness, but rather heartache that she had used all her money to pay off her debts.
She quickly replied: "[It's okay, I've been getting a lot of takeout orders lately, and I'm making good money. The Underworld Restaurant I opened with my senior brother is also doing well every day, so I'm not short of money at all. Now that I've paid off my debts, I feel much more relaxed.]"
The senior apprentice posted a thumbs-up GIF, praising: "Junior sister is really capable."
He immediately transferred a 10,000 yuan red envelope to her: "[The debt is paid off, which is a great thing. Here, take this red envelope. Your senior brother will treat you to a big meal.]"
Third Senior Brother: [This is indeed good news. My client recently sent me some delicious local specialties, I'll send them to you tomorrow.]
Chu Yu: [Thank you, Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother.]
Fourth Senior Brother: [Hey, don't forget me, Junior Sister. I'll bring you something delicious when I get home from my business trip.]
Third Senior Brother: [Fourth Brother, didn't you say you were exploring tombs in the mountains near City C today? The treats you brought back for Junior Sister, were they mummified corpses?]
Fourth Senior Brother: [Don't talk nonsense. Can't I buy some good food on my way back after exploring the tomb?]
Third Senior Brother: [That's fine, but how can there be a signal in a tomb? You're not the real person, are you some kind of imposter ghost?]
Fourth Senior Brother: [Get lost! Who's the ghost? You're the ghost! I just came out of the tomb and climbed the tallest tree on the mountain to find a signal.]
Third Senior Brother: [Tsk tsk, you actually climbed a tree! Watch out for thunder and lightning; one strike and you'll be charred black and blue.]
Fourth Senior Brother: [You damn third brother, what nonsense are you spouting? Wait... why is it suddenly raining and thundering? Damn it, you jinx! Bye-bye, I'm outta here.]
The third senior brother immediately sent a meme of a monkey laughing heartily.
Chu Yu: […]
These two guys always bicker whenever they chat; it's so childish.
At this moment, her senior brother tagged her: "Junior sister, last time you asked me to help find the Demon Queen's whereabouts. I mobilized my connections in the Underworld and the mortal realm to investigate, and today my colleagues in the Underworld have found some clues."
Chu Yu's eyes lit up.
During this time, she asked several senior brothers and friends in the metaphysical community to help her find the whereabouts of the Demon Queen.
Although the Demon Lord had searched for 300 years without finding the Demon Queen, Chu Yu still wanted to do her best to help search again. After all, the Demon Lord only had one month left. If the Demon Lord died, the Demon Realm would probably be in chaos, and Yuanbao would also be in danger. It would be best to find the Demon Queen within this month.
I thought it would take a long time to find any clues, but to my surprise, my senior brother's colleagues in the underworld actually helped me find them.
This efficiency is amazing, it's a pleasant surprise.
Chu Yu quickly asked, "That's great! What clues have you found?"
Senior Brother: [My colleague is a soul-reaping messenger. He saw a record in an old archive that 300 years ago, a great demon caused chaos in Lingwu Town, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. A woman from the demon realm passed by there and fought the great demon for three days and three nights, eventually killing the great demon and all his subordinates.]
At that time, the blood of the great demon and his subordinates flowed into the river, staining the water red, creating a scene of utter carnage that left the surrounding land barren for ten years.
Later, the powerful demon woman disappeared without a trace. According to her colleagues' deductions, that demon woman was likely the Demon Queen who had just arrived in the human world.
Chu Yu then asked, "What happened next? Is there any record in the archives of where the Demon Queen went?"
Senior Brother: [The archives don't record the Demon Queen's whereabouts, but they mention a peculiar phenomenon: every ten years, demonic energy permeates the place where a great demon dies, but it's quickly suppressed by a powerful surge of demonic energy. My colleague speculates that the Demon Queen may have been living in the Lingwu Town area, releasing demonic energy every ten years to suppress the lingering demonic energy of the great demons after their deaths. You can try searching around Lingwu Town; you might find something.]
Chu Yu was excited: [Okay, I'll go search for information about Lingwu Town right away.]
After ending the chat, Chu Yu searched for information about Lingwu Town online, and soon, relevant information appeared.
Over the past 300 years, Lingwu Town has transformed from a small town with tens of thousands of people into a megacity with tens of millions of inhabitants, and has been renamed City A. City A is very wealthy due to its surrounding mines.
Chu Yu wondered, could it be that the Demon Queen is hiding in City A?
City A is so big, finding her won't be easy, but at least we have a direction.
She thought of Yuanbao, whose senses were very strong; taking him to City A might improve efficiency.
After making up her mind, Chu Yu immediately called her counselor and asked for three days off. Three days off plus the weekend made it five days.
Five days should be enough time to find the person.
More than half an hour later, Chu Yu returned to Yufu Garden.
It was already dark by then.
As soon as Chu Yu entered the living room, she saw Fu Yunche leading Song Ze downstairs.
Upon seeing Chu Yu, Fu Yunche smiled gently: "I was just thinking of texting you to ask when you'd be back for dinner, and here you are."
Song Ze teased, "Master Fu, you and the young mistress are really on the same wavelength."
