Chapter 255: The Evil One of the Divine Corpse Sect is Revealed, and He Goes to Kill Some Dogs in a Great Family

"Who is it?"

A deep voice emanated from Li Che's mouth, and his closed eyes slowly opened, transforming from his previous posture of closed eyes.

A terrifying aura of dominance that made You Liqing feel an overwhelming sense of oppression, irresistible, and absolute obedience emanated from Li Che's body.

It was as if a supreme being, seated atop a city tower controlling the spirits of the dead, was casting a faint gaze upon a wandering soul in the netherworld.

Like a thunderclap, You Liqing's Capture Spirit slightly trembled, and he could even sense the sudden surge of terrifying emotions from Li Che.

You Liqing clasped his fists and bowed, and the golden armor clanged, the plates constantly clashing.

He kept his head low, his posture extremely humble, and even a hint of fervor appeared in his eyes.

This was the supreme being he followed, the one who could pull him back from the brink of death and grant him a new life! You Liqing's heart stirred, and he had never felt any disappointment or despair from becoming a Capture Spirit; instead, he felt grateful and thankful.

Having experienced the terror of death once, he could no longer face life and death calmly.

The wind howled, and the pounding rain struck the eaves, constantly jumping like beads, resembling thunder.

Li Che calmly gazed at You Liqing.

Waiting for You Liqing's answer.

Li Che had long awaited the revelation of the evil one hidden within the Heavenly Origin Sect, the Divine Corpse Sect. Unfortunately, within the Heavenly Origin Sect, he dared not easily use the Corpse God Seal, as doing so would alert not only the incredibly powerful Grand Master but also the Dao Yun plaque of the Heavenly Origin Sect.

For this reason, Li Che was curious about the identity of the evil one in the Divine Corpse Sect.

A Jade Curse Corpse from the Divine Corpse Sect had mentioned to the Demon Child that an evil one from their sect was hiding within the Heavenly Origin Sect, and this information had been like a thorn in Li Che's throat, constantly reminding him to ensure Xi Xi's safety. He feared that his momentary negligence might lead to Xi Xi becoming a target of the evil one's attacks.

Although Li Che was confident in his ability to teleport and rescue her instantly, he couldn't rule out the possibility of unforeseen circumstances.

What if...

What if the evil one from the Divine Corpse Sect used a similar method as Su Huaying, the Divine Talisman Master from the Su family, who had restricted Cat Face's teleportation?

Li Che feared that his rescue might not arrive in time.

Of course...

Now that the Celestial Artist Fruit had undergone the Second Evolution and obtained the First Heaven Divine Ability, Ink City, Li Che felt more confident about ensuring Xi Xi's safety.

After all, he had just tested it on Cat Face.

The fact that Cat Face could be saved from facing such a formidable lineup was proof that Ink City's security was strong enough.

In times of need, he could protect his daughter thoroughly.

Unless a Martial Saint or a Divine Embryo recklessly intervened, there was little chance of encountering greater danger.

But even in such a situation, Li Che had prepared a backup plan.

Now that Xi Xi had become a disciple of the Grand Master's wife, a Half-Saint Divine Talisman Master, Li Che finally relaxed, no longer needing to be constantly vigilant.

However, despite this, Li Che still couldn't stop thinking about the evil one hidden within the Divine Corpse Sect.

"This person... the Lord should know him," You Liqing said.

"The second on the Genuine Transmission List, Huang Jian Jiu."

After speaking, even Li Che was stunned.

"Who?"

Li Che's eyebrows furrowed, and a look of disbelief, astonishment, and confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Huang Jian Jiu."

You Liqing spoke in a deep voice.

After repeating it, Li Che stood up from under the eaves.

Boom!

His powerful body suddenly charged out, and his surging, boiling blood gushed forth, scorching and fierce, shattering the raindrops into powder and evaporating them into steam.

In Li Che's pupils, there seemed to be flickering electric lights constantly crackling.

"Huang Jian Jiu?"

Li Che furrowed his brows, "Let me see."

After speaking, Li Che raised his hand, and a finger had already landed on the forehead of the respectful You Liqing.

Buzz!

In an instant, within the Heavenly Earth Chessboard, Li Che felt a thick ink explode, and then a scene appeared.

...

...

Heavenly Origin Sect.

Outer Sect, Disciple City.

Jiao Shao Qiu pointed to the outer sect's Elder's courtyard.

The spring rain pattered, as if awakening the insects that had endured the entire winter and survived the freeze, allowing them to break through the soil.

The sound of knocking on the door echoed.

Jiao Shao Qiu slowly stood up, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and opened the door. He was dressed in a simple, long robe, and his entire appearance seemed quite spirited.

Nie Yang had been assigned to protect Li Che's safety, so Jiao Shao Qiu was left without anyone to command.

In truth, he didn't mind.

When the door opened, a plump, beautiful woman in a cloth skirt appeared before Jiao Shao Qiu. The woman had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, fair skin, and her hair was tied up with a blue flower scarf on her forehead.

In the distance, two Heavenly Origin Sect disciples waited quietly, clearly assigned to protect the woman and escort her here.

"Boss Lady... why are you here?" Jiao Shao Qiu's withered face showed a slight tremor in his wrinkles when he saw the Boss Lady, and he knew that this visit must be related to Huang Jian Jiu.

Most likely reason was that Huang Jian Jiu had accumulated a large debt at the Drunken Goose Tower and then disappeared without a trace.

This wasn't the first time such a situation had occurred.

"Elder Jiao, is Huang Jian Jiu not here? Is he hiding in your courtyard?" The Boss Lady saw that Jiao Shao Qiu's attitude had softened, and she spoke respectfully.

Jiao Shao Qiu shook his head and said softly, "Jian Jiu hasn't returned to the sect for many days..."

Upon hearing this, the Boss Lady's eyes dimmed.

"He's not here again? Is he hiding from me?" The Boss Lady was a bit angry.

Jiao Shao Qiu replied, shaking his head, "You want him to pay back the money he owes you so that you can see him again, giving him the courage to continue going to the Drunken Goose Tower and racking up more debt?"

"Girl, I think it's better to give up on him."

"This guy is just a deadbeat. His heart is tied up, and he'll only drag you down."

Jiao Shao Qiu held the oil-paper umbrella, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

The Boss Lady still had her charms, and at this moment, she pursed her lips and used her slightly rough hands to wipe the new clothes she had put on today.

"Elder... are you trying to persuade me too?"

"Actually, if he wants to drink, I can support him for a lifetime... But he always goes missing, and when he owes money, he doesn't want to come. If I want to see him, I can only urge him to pay back the debt.

The Boss Lady felt a bit embarrassed.

"What's the big deal about the cost of the wine?"

Jiao Shao Qiu stroked his beard and smiled, "That's true. Your Drunken Goose Tower is doing quite well, with good profits, and it's been open for many years, right?"

"Almost twenty years. After this year, it will be twenty years..." The Boss Lady said with a smile.

Jiao Shao Qiu stepped aside to let the Boss Lady enter the courtyard, but she quickly waved her hand, "Huang Jian Jiu isn't here, so never mind... I won't disturb the Elder."

Just as the Boss Lady was about to turn and leave.

From a distance, a sword light suddenly shot out, tearing through the heavens and earth, piercing through the raindrops.

A disheveled figure, carrying a sword case on his back and a wine gourd at his waist, took a sip of wine with great satisfaction.

Suddenly.

Huang Jian Jiu tapped his toes on the ground, drew a circle with his body, and was about to leave.

"Huang Jian Jiu, stop right there!"

Upon seeing him, the Boss Lady immediately stood tall, hands on her hips, and scolded him.

"You really don't want to see me, do you?"

"Come back here! Otherwise, I'll come to the Heavenly Origin Sect every day to collect the wine money!"

Huang Jian Jiu turned around, his beard unkempt, and his face full of impatience, "You're really making me lose face... I'm at least the second on the Genuine Transmission List of the Heavenly Origin Sect!"

"Do you think I'll owe you wine money? It's easy for me to make money, right? I'm just too lazy to earn it. I saved you, a young girl, from that village all those years ago. It's almost been thirty years, hasn't it? Is my life-saving grace not worth a few drinks from you?"

"You really should have let me die in that village!" Huang Jian Jiu, his breath reeking of alcohol, retorted.

The Boss Lady pursed her lips, surprisingly calm.

"You saved me, you married me, and you didn't lose out by doing so. You're a cultivator with a lifespan of hundreds of years, while I'm just an ordinary mortal who might not live past seventy... Why are you so afraid?"

Huang Jian Jiu became anxious, "Elder Jiao, look at her, she's acting like this again!"

"You're scaring me to death! I'm not drinking this wine!"

Huang Jian Jiu left with a parting remark, and as he stepped out, a sword light burst forth from the sword case, slicing through the plump raindrops, dividing them neatly in half.

Huang Jian Jiu, too, stepped onto the sword light and quickly disappeared into the distance!

The Boss Lady stomped her foot, biting her lip, filled with anger.

"That woman has already married into the Su family, why can't he forget her? Who is he putting on this show of devotion for?"

The Boss Lady was indignant, even feeling a bit wronged, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Is it because I'm just a mortal, without any talent for cultivation... Unlike that woman, who has such a stunning talent, a thousand-foot divine child!"

The Boss Lady wiped her tears and squatted on the ground, crying for a while.

The next moment, she stood up and wiped away her tears.

"I can still wait for you for thirty years!"

"Huang Jian Jiu, we'll see about this!"

Elder Jiao fell silent.

He looked in the direction Huang Jian Jiu had left.

Even he couldn't understand.

What was Huang Jian Jiu so averse to? Wasn't the saying, 'Sincerity moves even mountains and stones'? A mortal woman had done so much for him, wasn't that enough?

Thirty years, and then another thirty years, for a woman...

Was it really because of that woman?

Crack! Crack!

The thunder of the Spring Equinox, with electric snakes dancing and rain pouring down, grew even more intense.

The sword light tore through the rain, carrying Huang Jian Jiu's figure and landing on the large courtyard. The rain flowed on the courtyard, creating a rushing sound like a flowing stream.

"Who... is spying on me?"

Huang Jian Jiu's disheveled appearance vanished, his sword-like eyebrows becoming incredibly sharp.

He couldn't even bother to argue with the Boss Lady, his heart pounding, a secret buried deep within him now seemingly revealed.

In this moment, his eyes became incredibly sharp, as if countless sword auras were swirling within his pupils.

He raised his finger, and a dazzling silver sword light danced on his fingertip, swirling continuously.

"If you don't come out... then I won't be polite."

Huang Jian Jiu clenched his five fingers, and in an instant, a dazzling silver light exploded, a long sword leaping like a dragon, swiftly slashing and cutting.

The sword light swirled, shimmering, containing an extreme sharpness, as if merging with the countless raindrops, falling to the ground with a crackling sound.

On the large courtyard, thousands of sword marks and ravines were carved out, as if a sharp sword rain had fallen.

Countless sword intentions, vast and mighty, seemed to merge with the heavy rain, containing a fierce and accumulated madness.

However, countless silver sword marks covered the courtyard.

Huang Jian Jiu's weathered hair flew in the wind as he held a dazzling silver longsword diagonally.

It was as if he was performing a solo act, with no one being forced out by him.

But Huang Jian Jiu's eyebrows were furrowed into a deep frown.

Right at Elder Jiao's doorstep, he felt an invisible pressure... a pressure that made his soul tremble.

He knew all too well what this pressure was.

He felt this pressure all the way here.

But now, the pressure was gone.

Yet Huang Jian Jiu understood that someone was spying on him, someone who had seen his deepest secret.

Huang Jian Jiu suddenly laughed silently, removing the stopper from his wine gourd and gulping down the wine, which mixed with the rain, washing over his face.

"I must be drunk..."

"It feels like my old rival, You Liqing, is spying on me."

Huang Jian Jiu narrowed his eyes.

He looked at the wine gourd in the rain, a gift from the Boss Lady. The young girl who had given it to him was now a woman with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

Huang Jian Jiu caressed the wine gourd and pursed his lips.

"You're just a mortal, and a person..."

"But I, am no longer one."

...

...

Li Che released his finger from You Liqing's forehead.

The viewing was complete.

On the large courtyard, facing Huang Jian Jiu's indiscriminate attack, You Liqing chose to retreat.

But it was enough.

Based on the feedback from the Corpse Deity Seal in You Liqing's Niwan Palace, it was confirmed that Huang Jian Jiu had indeed bestowed a Corpse Curse Seal, and it was of a very high rank...

Moreover, it was covered and concealed by countless sword lights.

"It's actually him."

Li Che's hair danced wildly, his eyes flashing like lightning, his heart slightly surprised.

He truly hadn't expected it to be Huang Jian Jiu.

Regarding Huang Jian Jiu, the second on the Genuine Transmission List of the Heavenly Origin Sect, Li Che's first impression was still quite positive, despite his disheveled appearance. After all, he had once helped their family.

At the city gate, Huang Jian Jiu had helped resolve the situation, opposing the formidable You Liqing.

Li Che put away You Liqing, the captured divine symbol.

Li Che returned to the eaves, his breath restrained and his mind calm. He clenched his Divine Essence Crystal once more and began to absorb it.

Since it was confirmed that Huang Jian Jiu was the evil member of the Corpse Deity Sect hidden within the Heavenly Origin Sect, Li Che naturally chose to uphold his unwavering beliefs.

The evil members of the Corpse Deity Sect... everyone should be eradicated.

Since you have fallen into the Corpse Deity Sect, even if you have your reasons...

However, Li Che closed his eyes...

He thought of everything he had experienced in Flying Thunder City and Golden Light City.

When he opened his eyes again, a killing intent surged within him.

He, Li Che, would eliminate the evil members of the Corpse Deity Sect.

No reasons needed.

...

...

Huang Jian Jiu was not weak. He was the second genius on the Genuine Transmission List of the Heavenly Origin Sect, and his sword skills were exceptional. He had undoubtedly cultivated Sword Intention and Divine Seed, and had incorporated them into his Unusual Doors.

His cultivation was extremely profound, not far behind You Liqing.

However, Li Che also had his own trump cards. He had the Blood Sun Nine Deity Golden Ape, and he had captured You Liqing...

He himself possessed the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Pole, capable of clashing with the Three Flowers True Aura.

However, unlike the heavily injured You Liqing, Huang Jian Jiu was currently in his prime condition. His foundation was so deep that Li Che couldn't fathom it, and if he were to forcefully kill him, the chances of success wouldn't be too high.

"If I lure him into Ink City and let the Blood Sun Nine Deity Golden Ape, along with You Liqing, join forces to strangle him, while I secretly launch a cold arrow and use underhanded tricks... the possibility of killing him should reach eighty percent."

Li Che's eyes flickered.

The Blood Sun Nine Deity Golden Ape had almost fully recovered, regaining Martial Saint-level strength. Although it was only comparable to a one-pill Martial Saint...

It was still Li Che's trump card and source of confidence!

The rain continued to fall, pattering on the eaves.

Li Che remained seated in the courtyard, and as the sky gradually darkened, the Spring Startle Thunder rain that had lasted all day finally began to subside.

The spring breeze carried a chill, and on this Spring Startle Thunder day in the first month, all things seemed to be on the verge of revival.

In Li Che's hand was a Divine Essence Crystal of the Five Elders' rank, and the last trace of divine essence was being absorbed by the Law Sky Earth Spirit Bright True Ape within his Muddy Pellet Inner Scene.

Li Che slowly opened his eyes, and they seemed to be filled with surging, intertwining electric lights.

His blood qi buzzed, bursting from his fingertips, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound! Instantly, the Divine Essence Crystal shattered, crushed into powder by his fingers as strong as steel. He took out a black wooden raven and carefully placed the powdered crystal inside.

"It's a pity that at the Grand Master realm, the effects of poison become limited," Li Che shook his head, sighing slightly in his heart. "Or perhaps, I should visit the Imperial Observatory and seek a pill refining master to inquire if there is a poison that can threaten a Grand Master, or even a Martial Saint..."

"That way, I'll have a better advantage in battle."

Li Che muttered to himself.

Whoosh—

The cold wind after the rain roared in.

Li Che stood up, his ink-colored robe fluttering, and finished the last cup of tea.

Li Che took a step forward.

Buzz-boom!

His body instantly expanded, growing larger and larger, and a scorching white wave spread in all directions.

Brilliant golden light burst from his eyes, like thick flowing incense, and golden smoke swirled endlessly.

His jet-black hair, thick and robust, was constantly blown by the air gushing out of his pores, growing wildly to his waist and then transforming into an incredibly heavy black cloak! Li Che, now two meters and three centimeters tall, had thick and powerful muscles that twitched incessantly, and his blood flowed like liquid jade mercury.

Dragon Elephant Vajra, ascending to the divine realm! Li Che's eyes flickered, and faint golden electric lights crackled.

He raised his hand and pointed at his brow.

Within the Muddy Pellet Inner Scene...

In an instant...

The Heavenly Earth Chessboard soared into the sky, rapidly expanding and covering a third of the Heavenly Origin Dao City in a short time.

To Li Che's surprise, Huang Jian Jiu's aura was not hidden at all; it was as obvious as the blazing sun in his perception.

Huang Jian Jiu had clearly noticed You Liqing's probing, but... he didn't react at all.

Was it confidence...

Or perhaps... did he think the probing was a misconception?

"That's... Drunken Goose Tower?"

Li Che, with his Dragon Elephant Vajra cultivation fully unleashed, had a robust and sturdy body, and through the Heavenly Earth Chessboard, he could see Huang Jian Jiu's current location.

His hair, wild and flowing like a black cloak, suddenly swayed, and Li Che covered his face with an extremely cute Cute Bull Mask, then stood on his tiptoes.

He transformed into an arrow, shooting out like a string had been released.

...

...

Drunken Goose Tower.

The gentle breeze blew.

This was a very successful restaurant in Heavenly Origin Dao City, as everyone knew that Huang Jian Jiu was behind Drunken Goose Tower.

The boss lady of Drunken Goose Tower had a complicated relationship with Huang Jian Jiu.

As the second genius on the Genuine Transmission List of the Heavenly Origin Sect and a commoner by birth, Huang Jian Jiu was a prime target for various aristocratic families and influential forces to curry favor with.

So, everyone gave him face, and thus, Drunken Goose Tower's business was thriving; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was raking in profits daily.

However, the boss lady, as always, was dressed simply, with blue floral cloth wrapped around her bun. She didn't show off her wealth, because she knew that Huang Jian Jiu disliked extravagance.

Drunken Goose Tower had no boss, only the boss lady, and everyone assumed that Huang Jian Jiu was the boss of Drunken Goose Tower, even though he had never acknowledged it.

The night was hazy, and clouds drifted in the sky.

The aroma of wine lingered in the air.

On the second floor of Drunken Goose Tower, at the railing, a table was filled with fine wine and dishes, and a jar of wine that had been aged for five years was placed on the table.

Huang Jian Jiu was still wearing his usual shabby clothes.

However, he had combed his hair, and it was no longer unruly; his black hair flowed smoothly like a waterfall.

He had shaved off his beard, and he looked ten years younger, transformed into a gentle-looking young man.

The boss lady, with her sleeves rolled up, carried a dish of steaming hot food from the kitchen.

Her footsteps were light, and as she held the dish, she looked at Huang Jian Jiu, bathed in the moonlight of the night, as if enveloped in a layer of silver silk. Her entire body trembled slightly.

At this moment, Huang Jian Jiu...

made her feel as if she had returned to twenty years ago, when he had saved her from a village ravaged by a strange and evil creature.

He might not have been handsome, but he exuded a sense of security that captivated her.

And today, he had returned...

He was back.

Was it because Huang Jian Jiu had heard her crying?

(End of Chapter)Over the years, she had cried more times than she could count.

"Huang Jianjiu, do you want me to cook something?"

The boss lady placed a steaming dish on the table, asking gently.

Huang Jianjiu glanced at her, his expression soft, like the moonlight that had slipped into her heart, making her feel weak all over.

"No need, sit down and have a drink with me."

Huang Jianjiu said softly.

He reached out and held her hand, slightly startled, only feeling a rough touch.

Thirty years had passed, and she was no longer young.

The boss lady's face stiffened, and she quickly withdrew her hand, a hint of panic on her face.

"I... I'll get you a good jar of wine."

"The finest wine."

"No need." Huang Jianjiu held her back.

The boss lady said, "A wine that's been aged for twenty years."

Huang Jianjiu silently released her hand, and the boss lady gracefully left, returning in a moment.

In front of Huang Jianjiu, she wiped away the dust that had sealed the wine for so long.

The rich aroma of the wine wafted out, and the boss lady poured a cup for Huang Jianjiu. Her bright eyes sparkled like stars as she looked at him, anticipating his reaction and evaluation after drinking the wine.

Huang Jianjiu drank it in one go, his throat rolling.

He pursed his lips, thinking that this wine was not twenty years old...

What he was drinking was twenty years of a girl's unspoken feelings.

"It's so beautiful."

Huang Jianjiu said softly.

The boss lady smiled, and although there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that couldn't be erased, her smile was radiant and beautiful like a flower.

She poured a cup for herself as well.

Holding the cup with both hands, she looked at Huang Jianjiu expectantly, and tears had already welled up in her eyes.

She didn't want to think about Huang Jianjiu's unusual behavior tonight; she just wanted to indulge.

"Come."

Huang Jianjiu smiled and clinked cups with the charming boss lady.

Ding.

The crisp sound was like a clear spring rippling with waves.

They drank, and drank again.

After three cups, the boss lady, who couldn't hold her liquor, became slightly tipsy. With her rough hands that she couldn't hide, she grabbed Huang Jianjiu's hand and held on tightly.

"You silly girl, you're like this again... You can't drink, but you like to brew wine..."

"The wine you brewed, from being undrinkable to now being delicious, I've tasted it all."

Huang Jianjiu sighed, gently rubbing the boss lady's hair.

Though she had aged, in his eyes, she was still the same as when she was young, the same girl who would pucker her face and stick out her tongue after taking a sip of wine.

"Sir, would you like to come up for a drink?"

Huang Jianjiu picked up the green porcelain cup and faced the silver moon that had risen above the washed-clean sky after the rain.

A moment of silence...

A deep voice, like sand and gravel rubbing together, echoed.

"Okay."

In an instant.

The silver moon's radiance was obscured.

A terrifying and majestic surge of blood qi rose like a signal fire, distorting the void, like an ancient ferocious beast emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. On its muscular body, veins stood out like dragons.

Huang Jianjiu's gaze paused, and he saw the sky behind the Ox Demon, as if there was an enormous chessboard.

On it was an ink-colored city, like a mirage.

He shifted his gaze to the face of the towering figure, like a mountain.

A cute Cute Bull Mask appeared.

"The Netherworld, Ox Demon."

"It's you, as I thought."

Huang Jianjiu exhaled in relief and laughed.

"You're here to kill me... It seems the aura I sensed in front of Elder Jiao's courtyard was indeed correct."

"I heard that the Netherworld can detect the Corpse Curse Seal taught by the Corpse Deity Sect... to identify hidden Corpse Deity Sect cultivators."

"Indeed, your reputation is well-deserved."

Huang Jianjiu sighed.

The Netherworld...

A highly mysterious force.

Ox Demon, Horse Face, Divine Monkey, Thunder Dragon, Cat Face.

Their mysterious teleportation ability couldn't even be restricted by the Eight Tranquil Wind Divine Talismans.

Being targeted by such a force made it hard to sleep or eat in peace.

Huang Jianjiu gently caressed the boss lady's temples and face.

Then he looked at the Ox Demon and said softly, "Can you give me some more time before killing me?"

Li Che, wearing the Ox Demon mask, looked at Huang Jianjiu with calm eyes. The reason he was willing to chat with Huang Jianjiu instead of immediately attacking...

was all because of this woman. Li Che's gaze shifted to the boss lady, with a hint of complexity.

A simple and unadorned woman, one who...

had a personality similar to his wife, Zhang Ya.

"How can you be so sure that you can kill me?"

The Ox Demon asked in a deep voice.

In fact, even while talking, Li Che had already entered a state of vigilance, ready to pull Huang Jianjiu into the Ink City at any moment.

Within the Ink City, Blood Sun Nine Deity Golden Monkey and You Liqing were already poised for action.

Huang Jianjiu finished the wine in his cup.

He smiled.

"Because you're the Ox Demon. If it were the Cat Face, I wouldn't be so sure."

"But the Ox Demon... is cunning and treacherous. No one has survived being targeted by you so far."

"You must have at least sixty percent confidence in killing me, so you came."

Huang Jianjiu put down the empty cup.

He stared directly at the Ox Demon's Cute Bull Mask, unable to see the face beneath it.

But that didn't matter.

"It's eighty percent."

The Ox Demon said in a deep voice.

Huang Jianjiu paused, surprised by the confidence. But he didn't dwell on it and laughed instead.

"Then can you fulfill a wish of mine before I die?"

"Otherwise, you might not be able to kill me."

Huang Jianjiu said earnestly.

Li Che's eyebrows furrowed beneath the mask, finding Huang Jianjiu's behavior odd tonight.

"What wish?"

The Ox Demon asked hoarsely.

Huang Jianjiu gently freed his hand from the boss lady's tight grip and gently rubbed her hair.

He picked up the sword case on the table and carefully poured the twenty-year-old wine into the scarred wine gourd.

Then, facing the silver moon, he exhaled softly.

"Give me a little time."

"The Su family's rise and fall over three thousand years."

"I want to take a walk."

"I want to kill some dogs."
