"Oh, so the humans wanted to...capture me because I appeared in the picture book and that picture was a scene from the future?" Yuan Yuanyuan sat on the bed, her expression changing from relaxed to solemn.

Opposite her sat an old man with a white beard. His voice was a little low, "Yuan, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Yuanyuan lay back and suddenly realized the current situation.

...No matter what, let me just say that Ji Qiu is awesome.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she really couldn't imagine what was going on. She was still a half-demon with human-like thinking. Even though the old man with white beard told her countless times, "This is a normal secret technique among monsters. It can be used to deduce what will happen in the future through current clues. Although there are many monsters who know this technique, not many can deduce it perfectly. The Master Ji Qiu in the picture book is probably a big monster who has studied this very well." She still didn't understand how this was done.

...This is too fucking fantastical. It's hard to believe. My god, these monsters can predict the future.

There had never been any content related to this aspect in Yuan Yuanyuan's Blood Jade Demon Art. This was the first time she had heard of this. It felt like she was listening to a heavenly book, but suddenly she realized that she seemed to have seen this thing before, but not from the monsters, but from the Taoist priests.

Fanning is officially known to be good at predicting destiny, even though he was beaten like a dog when he tried to make a living with this... but he is indeed very good at it.

Yuan Yuanyuan was lost in thought, and it was only after about five or six minutes that she suddenly realized that she was talking to someone. She looked up quickly and saw the white-bearded old man sitting next to her. Seeing that she was distracted, he didn't call her and just waited quietly for her to come back to her senses.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt embarrassed for a moment. She quickly recalled what the old man had said to her before. It seemed that he asked her what she wanted to do. She thought for a moment and said, "If my figure appeared in the picture book and what would happen to me in the future was also drawn, then..."

"Then someone with ulterior motives will most likely try to stop this before it happens." The old man said, "So the danger around you will be even greater. It is very likely that someone will approach you more purposefully than before for some purpose..."

"Ah, I understand." Yuan Yuanyuan said. She naturally translated this sentence in her heart - there may be more perverts, deviants and stalkers around you... Some of them may be like the girl before. This is still good and they have no bad intentions. But if she encounters some big monsters or capable Taoist priests who try to change their fate, she will most likely be killed by them.

What's worse, there are some organizations or groups that may control her - just like what happened today.

She said that humans would never take such a risk without a special reason. They must have great interests to do such a thing. They were afraid that if the plan failed and the news got out, something bad would happen. So they even blocked the corridor. They must have thought of taking the initiative and arresting her first. The monsters have been in a weak position for so many years, so it doesn’t matter if they arrest a dying old monster...

That's why these humans chose to seal her up instead of killing her. After all, controlling her is basically equivalent to controlling part of the future, or being able to "control" some of the future. They should be rushing to find her, and they may also be thinking about whether they can control her today and use her as an experiment. Because Ji Qiu drew it once, there will definitely be a second time. According to Ji Qiu's character, it will not only be Yuan, but there will definitely be others who will have such things happen one after another in the future. It is naturally beneficial to use Yuan as an experiment first.

As a person with a big imagination and easily distracted, Yuan Yuanyuan has come up with a bunch of messy conspiracies and plots, but each one sounds very imaginative. Yuan Yuanyuan slowly drank a sip of water and said to the old man, "What is the result of your agreement with them during the day?"

"They humans agree not to bother you anymore," the old man said. "That's it."

"That's it?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, "No other requests?"

"Not really." The old man smiled. "Their coming here today was already a very inappropriate move. Your response has already taught them a lesson."

Yuan Yuanyuan propped up her chin, thinking that a lesson or something... that is, to make the room explode like popcorn. She felt that when the sect's treasure was taken out during the day, everyone was very embarrassed. Fortunately, she was holding back her anger at that time, otherwise she would probably have an embarrassment attack. By the way, did the old man tell them that the sect's treasure was made by "himself"?

The old man happened to be in front of her, so she asked casually. The old man said, "No, your actions back then were very covert. Don't worry, although I am not a member of the Blood Jade Demon Army, I have also experienced that era, so I will naturally not tell anyone... If I hadn't seen that thing today, I wouldn't know where you went back then."

Oh... Yuan Yuanyuan nodded again. It turned out that this god was still operating in secret. Let's not keep it secret anymore. Ji Qiu has almost exposed your secrets. Even she, who knew nothing, knew that Yi Qi had sneaked into the enemy camp and even disguised himself as a cross-dresser with a gay temperament.

When Yuan Yuanyuan was extremely excited about complaining about Yiqi in her heart, she suddenly heard the person opposite her ask her a question in a very serious tone.

"Master Yuan, how much of your demonic power do you have now as you did in the past?"

Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned by her question.

This is a...very difficult question to answer. She didn't know why the white-bearded old man opposite her suddenly asked her this question, but she still felt that there was some other purpose behind the old man's question... This hidden purpose made her sensitive instantly.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't rush to answer because she herself was not quite sure. She vaguely felt that there seemed to be an expected answer behind the old man's words, but she didn't know what the answer she was expecting was.

She really didn't like it when someone had such high expectations of her, because she always felt a little tired. When someone had expectations of her, she would always subconsciously say the answer he expected. However, at this time, Yuan Yuanyuan always felt that the answer the old man wanted seemed to have many traps in it.

"Uh... can you just tell me what you want to say?" Yuan Yuanyuan said, "I tend to overthink when I keep guessing, and I'm naturally narrow-minded... let's just be straightforward, so I won't make blind guesses."

The old man looked at Yuan Yuanyuan and suddenly smiled. That smile... Yuan Yuanyuan really got goosebumps and wanted to take out her double knives and throw them in his face.

What the hell are you doing? I saw that you helped me during the day, so I thought you were a gentleman, so I let you into the house. Why do you have such a... weird expression on your face now?

Yuan Yuanyuan learned during the day that the doors here are basically special, and it takes a lot of effort to break in. Today, she came back and tried it in her room, and found that the door of her room was indeed special. According to Yuan Yuanyuan's idea, she decided to hide in the room if there was nothing to do, and never open the door if there was nothing to do. Whoever comes in the future will take a look at the cat's eye first.

The old man's expression was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal. He said, "Although I don't know what method you used to keep your strength, I am very worried that your strength will not last long. In order to reassure your subordinates, please give us an accurate answer. How long will your strength last?"

"How long will it last?" Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it. It seemed that the news of Yuan's "serious injury" had spread widely. Was it because of the news from somewhere, or was it their own guess? After all, that red sand well seemed to be quite evil... As for how long it would last, she herself hadn't even learned the Blood Jade Demon Art, and she was still asking her how long it would last...

"It should be fine if it continues for a few years." Yuan Yuanyuan said with a somewhat painful expression. Right after she said this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned by the sudden energetic feeling.

"How many years?" The old man's words were full of expectation. Yuan Yuanyuan dodged his gaze. In fact, it was more than a few years. She felt that several decades would be fine. But she didn't know why she subconsciously answered a few years when she opened her mouth.

"If you can continue for a few more years..." the old man suddenly said, "then perhaps many things will be different."

"Ah?" Yuan Yuanyuan was confused. "W-what?"

"Since you can still last for a few more years... then why do you want to stay in City C?" The old man's tone gradually revealed a bit of sadness. Yuan Yuanyuan thought to herself, I don't know why I should stay there... No, I've had a good life there, with food and drink, a house and a car... Bah, I don't have a car, but I have a servant, so why should I leave?

Yuan Yuanyuan originally wanted to answer the old man in this way, but when she looked up at the old man's eyes, she suddenly felt that she couldn't say the words.

Some things...she said them, but how the other party might hear them is not certain.

When she was looking at things from the edge of the monster, she should have considered the people standing inside. If she couldn't understand, at least she shouldn't say sarcastic words, otherwise she would be no different from some people.

Yuan Yuanyuan rubbed her face, and finally raised her head and said, "They added a noble family in City C. The name of the family is the Blood Jade Demon Army."

This is the most likely reason she could think of if Yiqi was really here.

The old man opposite suddenly turned pale and was silent for a long time. Finally, he said lightly, "Well... please consider it again," and then hurried out.
