Chapter 36: Fish Eating Cat (Below) + Fire God (Above)

  He is a small black cat with two tails, like a carbon ball, shiny and round.

  In the nine-lived tribe, only those with nine tails are considered adults. A small cat with two tails is still a juvenile.

  In a group of nine lives, only one black cat is born every 900 years. Black represents impurity and bad luck, and it's difficult for a black nine-lived cat to grow its ninth tail. Even if it can, it will take many more years than a white nine-lived cat.

  In the village, no one would talk to the little black cat. He was abandoned since birth and hid in various caves. To survive, he went to the water's edge to catch small fish by himself.

  The little black cat stood by the water's edge, the East Sea's waters were vast and deep, without bounds. The little black cat's fur stood on end, baring its small white teeth, arching its back, exposing its sharp claws, meowing at the waves of the East Sea.

  The little black cat crouched by the sea for a whole day, but no fish swam to the shallow water area. He was too small and couldn't get into the water. After taking just a few steps, a wave came over and his entire fur got wet.

  The little black cat is extremely afraid of water.

  "Meow——"

  The little cat was utterly defeated, lying listlessly by the riverbank. As dusk fell, the tide in the East Sea began to rise, and waves from afar lapped closer and closer, approaching the little black cat, but it was too lazy to hide.

  The sea water is salty and has a bitter taste, with a special seaweed smell. He dislikes the sea water, but he dislikes living alone even more.

  The seawater submerged up to the black cat's little nose, and its round nose twitched slightly, as if it was about to choke on water.

  Just then, a faint "splash" sound came from the depths of the East Sea, and a black shadow swam over, its movements extremely fast, like a cheetah, quickly arriving in front of the little black cat.

  "Whoosh!"

  A splash of water sounded, and something burst out of the surface of the water and bumped against Xiao Hei's nose.

  Meow!!!!!

  The little black cat retreated several steps back, rubbed its nose with a paw, and stared fixedly - it was actually a black-scaled merman!

  The male black scale merman, compared to the small black cat, is simply gigantic in stature. The bare upper body of a man, with muscles flowing smoothly and beautifully, has the seductive beauty unique to the black scale merman. Below, a black fish tail, even the fins on the tail are larger than the entire small black cat.

  The face of the black-scaled merman was profound, with eyes that were a pure blue color. On his head he wore a golden crown, inlaid with a blue gemstone as large as a black cat's eye, shining brightly and seemingly flowing like water within the stone...

  The little black cat's fur stood on end, "meowing" and baring its teeth at the black-scaled shark-man, but in its heart it was terrified to death. This fish had just tried to bite its nose! And it looked so big too!

  The black-scaled merman stared at the little black cat, and the whole city was on high alert. After a stalemate of several minutes, the little black cat finally couldn't hold it anymore, and with four short legs, it ran away, meowing and turning its head to disappear without a trace.

  The black-scaled merman still stood on the coast of the East Sea, watching as the little black cat fled in a panic, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

  The little black cat thought it was very unlucky, as a nine-lived cat, it was destined to have difficulty growing its ninth tail from birth, and also being scared by a fish, its stomach growled with hunger.

  The ninth life without a tail is useless, the ninth life as a god of guarding the tomb, is highly respected by people, and now the little black cat, is just a black cat demon.

  The little black cat was hungry and tired, and had been frightened by the big fish, so it lay on a rock in the deep mountains, meowing pitifully.

  At this time, a black shadow fell down. The little black cat looked up and found that a very handsome man was standing in front of him, wearing a white long gown, looking spotless and extremely clean, as if he were an immortal who did not eat the smoke and fire of the mortal world.

  His eyes were the color of rubies, and he looked very gentle, smiling as he bent down to look at the little black cat.

  The little black cat raised its head and meowed.

  The man squatted down, picked up the little black cat, and didn't mind the seawater on its body. He gently stroked the little black cat's fur and said, "What's wrong, little guy? You look listless. Are you hungry?"

  The man in white was really gentle, no one had ever been so gentle to the little black cat, they would only despise him as a black disaster.

  The little black cat followed the man in white clothes from then on, watching him practice every day, and smelling a strong yang scent between his breaths, warm and cozy.

  Later, Jiǔ Mìng met a little black cat in the clan and discovered the white-clothed man beside him. He was shocked and envious at the same time. The little black cat only then realized that this gentle-speaking man was actually Tiān Shén Hóng Jīu, the Phoenix Clan, who shared the same lifespan as heaven and earth, could be reborn from fire, and would bring auspiciousness wherever he fell.

  All nine lives in the clan began to envy Xiao Hei Mao for having walked into good fortune from his past life, and becoming a spiritual beast under the Hong Huang throne.

  The little black cat was not satisfied with others' cold ridicule and began to diligently cultivate its tail. The Nine-Lives Clan, where one grows a new tail every hundred years, can only grow the ninth tail after 900 years. On the day the ninth tail grows out, they will face the Heavenly Tribulation; those who survive it become gods, while those who fail are on the verge of life and death.

  The little black cat cultivated his ninth tail, using only 800 years. Just as he was cultivating his ninth tail, Hong Yu stroked his fur and smiled, saying that someone in the East Sea was waiting for him, this being his last tribulation.

  The little black cat didn't know that someone was waiting for it in the East Sea, where there was nothing but seawater everywhere, a real nightmare.

  Hong Yu also said that he wanted to go find someone, to repay a kindness, and after the little black cat had gone through its tribulations, it would come back to find him again.

  Hong Yu said, that person is also his own last calamity.

  The little black cat didn't understand what he was saying, but still went to the East Sea to take a look.

  He came to the East Sea, and on the coast of the East Sea there was already someone standing there. That person gazed out at the distance, as if waiting for someone.

  No, it's not a man, but a black-scaled merman, the king of mermen with a golden crown on his head. That is the god of the East Sea.

  The physique of the black-scaled merman was extremely robust, and even though the black cat had already become a nine-tailed, nine-lived being at this point, it still looked very small in front of him.

  The tail of the blacktip reef shark is very powerful and can support its entire body, with the tip often in shallow water.

  The merman looked at the black cat with his blue eyes and said tonelessly: "You've finally come."

  The black cat felt inexplicable, as if the merman knew him, but he had no impression at all. Moreover, a cool sea water aura on the merman's body made the black cat feel very uncomfortable. They were natural enemies, so it was normal to feel uneasy.

  The black cat stared at the black-scaled merman, baring its teeth and saying: "You're the heavenly calamity? I hate seawater the most, but I don't mind eating fish."

  He finished speaking, the black scales shark was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, saying: "You don't remember me, it's okay, I just want you to come to the bottom of the sea to accompany me... I've been waiting for 800 years."

  The black cat's fur stood on end as soon as it heard, often hearing that the Black Scaled people were a detestable race. They may be handsome and born of noble blood, but the Black Scaled people are eccentric by nature, often dragging fishermen down to the seabed out of fear of loneliness.

  The little black cat spat several times, suddenly jumped up, "slap" sound, a paw knocked the golden crown on the head of the black scale man down, and the sapphire fell from above.

  The little black cat proudly held the blue gemstone, he had heard that many people would take away a mermaid's personal belongings in order to make them live with themselves, as long as they hid this item well, the mermaid would be helpless and couldn't harm him, could only live with him.

  The little black cat held the gem and smiled, saying: "Even the biggest fish is nothing more than this."

  The black scales shark-like person seemed to be muttering to himself, his beautiful voice low and husky as he said: "I just wanted you to accompany me, but you don't even remember me..."

  The black cat felt even more inexplicable, and at this moment, the black scale shark man suddenly became enraged. His handsome face twisted in a biased manner, the sky darkened instantly, and it started pouring heavily with thunder booming loudly, huge waves crashing against the shore one after another.

  The black cat was thoroughly frightened, he was afraid of water, afraid to death, and in these eight hundred years he lived with Hong Yu, except for practicing, nothing else to worry about, he had never seen danger.

  The black cat was buried by a huge wave, constantly splashing in the water, and immediately felt a severe pain in its tail.

  His ninth tail broke off, and a small patch of seawater was stained red with blood, but the stain was too faint and soon dispersed by the waves.

  The black cat was washed ashore by the waves, gasping for breath. A black-scaled merman swam over and stood beside him, reaching out to touch him. The black cat let out a fierce cry, its sharp claws slashing at the merman's neck.

  A deep and profound wound.

  The nine-tailed fox and the black-scaled merman were arch-enemies, and the wounds they inflicted on each other would not heal easily. The merman bled, and the blood flowed down his neck, dripping onto the shore.

  The gaze of the black-scaled merman was unchangingly cold, like seawater, yet carrying suppressed pain, repeatedly saying: "I just want you to accompany me..."

  It's as if this mermaid can only say this one sentence.

  The black cat lay paralyzed on the coast, his Tao was no match for this merman, yet he coldly smiled and said: "No one will ever accompany you."

  The black scale merman looked down at him and said, "How about it, will you accompany me?"

  The black cat's green eyes rolled around and suddenly thought of a good way to escape.

  The black cat and the black-scaled merman said, let's make a bet with him, agreed to meet again in three hundred years, at that time one will decide who is higher, if I still lose, I will go to the bottom of the sea to accompany him, absolutely no regrets.

  The Black Scaled Merman agreed. The black cat said, but the place for a showdown must be decided by him. It's not fair to have a contest in the East Sea because this is the merman's territory.

  They agreed to go to a very shallow riverbank for a trial, which was a small town far away from the East Sea. The river water was shallow and full of silt.

  As a token, the black cat took away the blue sapphire from the merman's golden crown.

  For three hundred years, the Black Scaled Merfolk came to that shallow river. The River God did not expect the East Sea God to condescend and welcome the Merfolk King into the shallow river. In this river, there was no magnificent dragon palace, nor were there wine vessels made of precious stones, but only dirty silt.

  The black-scaled merman lived in this submarine for three hundred years, and after three hundred years, he still didn't see the black cat he had been expecting for three hundred years.

  The black cat didn't show up, maybe it never intended to in the first place. Who would have thought that someone who narrowly escaped death would come back?

  The black-scaled merman stood in the muddy waters of the river, gazing at the distant horizon, something he should have thought of long ago.

  He was exceptionally handsome, wearing a golden crown, and on the golden crown, there was always one less sparkling blue sapphire...

  Just three hundred years and one day ago, the river welcomed misfortune.

  Some people drained the river water and excavated tombs at the bottom, causing countless deaths and injuries to the ethnic groups in the river due to lack of water.

  Black scales can be short-lived without water, but after all, they are fish. Long-term drought has caused a large number of sturgeons to die on the dry riverbed.

  Some people made them into specimens, nailed to the stone wall of the underground tomb. These people also caught the Mermaid King, amazed by the beauty of the Mermaid King, built a transparent screen, placed in the main chamber, painted a seal on the screen, locked the Mermaid King inside, as a rare treasure, buried with the owner of the tomb underwater.

  The merman was silent in the narrow screen, day and night, when he suddenly thought of the last time he saw the black cat, a sentence from the black cat.

  No one will ever be with you...

  The Black Scaled Merfolk are afraid of loneliness, and no one knows why they fear it so much. The bottom of the East Sea is icy and dark, and the merfolk are a cold-blooded race, but they were born with a yearning for warmth. They drag fishermen into the water to feel their body heat, but humans drown immediately upon entering the water, and their corpses slowly grow cold, causing the merfolk to become panicked and paranoid. No one can accompany them for long, as their lifespan is too long, leaving them eternally lonely.

  For three hundred years, the black cat has been hiding in the deep mountains to cultivate and wants to re-cultivate its ninth tail. However, it always only had eight and a half tails. Although it can still transform into human form, without that half tail, it cannot even be called nine lives!

  For three hundred years, the black cat bit the black-scaled merman's sapphire with his sharp teeth every day, biting desperately to vent his anger, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bite it off, and his teeth ached from the effort.

  He hesitated about whether or not to keep the appointment, Black Cat also hesitated, without the ninth tail, keeping the appointment would be death, but not keeping it would lose credibility.

  Just as the black cat was hesitating, news came from afar that King Xiang wanted Hong Yu to accompany him in burial and sleep together in the underground palace. There were 66 suspected tombs, and the black cat searched hard for a long time but couldn't find the real tomb of King Xiang.

  When the black cat was exhausted from searching, he found that three hundred years had already passed and he missed his appointment.

  The black cat came to the shallow river, but that river had lost its face, without a single drop of water, no water, how could there be mermaids.

  The black cat looked at the dry riverbed and thought, it's been 300 years, maybe that mermaid has long forgotten about this matter and didn't even think of keeping the appointment.

  The black cat crouched by the river for three days, but never saw any mermaids, only a large number of workers digging holes and repairing tombs on the dry riverbed.

  The black cat thought, mermaids are indeed hateful and untrustworthy...

  ……

  Everyone saw the living black-scaled merman and was shocked. Wen Baiyu said, "It's actually alive here, does the tomb owner think he is raising fish?"

  When Jiǔ Mìng saw the black-scaled merman, the hairs on his body were about to explode. He recognized this merman, whose face was truly too special, extremely handsome, and it could be said without exaggeration that among the merpeople, there was no one more handsome than him.

  Moreover, there was a long scar on the mermaid's neck, and Jiǔ Mìng knew that it was scratched by herself.

  The gaze of the black scale shark swept across the crowd and immediately locked onto Jiǔ Mìng, that gaze was too complicated.

  Anger, resentment, disappointment, desolation, loneliness, paranoia, yet with inexplicable excitement and expectation...

  Wen Baiyu looked at him and trembled slightly, really didn't know whether this merman was angry or happy.

  The merman stroked the screen with his inverted scales, as if wanting to get out from inside, but he didn't know what the screen was made of and couldn't get out no matter what.

  Wen Baiyu said: "How did this merman get locked in here? Isn't it said that merpeople have great strength? Why can't he break through this glass?"

  Yu Wenyang said: "In ancient times, there was no glass. This tomb is also several thousand years old, even though it's closer to the Xiangwang Tomb in age. Where would they steal glass from? I've never seen this material before - what can be so shiny and transparent? If they had this material back then, why would they need glass?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "It's a mermaid skeleton."

  Wen Baiyu wanted to observe the material of the screen, but when Wan Qi Jinghou said it, he jumped in fright and said: "Bone?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said: "I have seen a box made of mermaid bone before. Mermaid bones are extremely rare, so if someone gets their hands on one, they will make small items out of it. A single bone comb can sell for a sky-high price, it's truly priceless. For such a large screen, it should be made by grinding the mermaid's bones into powder, then firing and shaping them, and finally polishing them until shiny."

  The tomb owner was very clever, using the bones of the mermaid to make a screen, which was both sturdy and intimidating to the mermaids, and there were also talismans on it.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This is not clever, it's simply inhumane."

  The black-scaled merman remained silent, not speaking or singing, but simply gazing at the nine lives with a complex gaze that gradually turned calm, like the tranquil surface of the sea, and who knows what world lies beneath.

  "Cuckoo..."

  "Cuckoo..."

  "Cuckoo..."

  Just then, a frog's cry rang out. Wen Baiyu was startled and said, "Frog! The voice of the Frog people! Did you hear it?"

  Yu Wei nodded and said: "It seems like there's more than one..."

  He had just finished speaking when a black shadow entered the main tomb chamber from outside, one, two, three, four...

  At least five or six toadmen walked in from outside, their bodies covered with pus-filled boils and dripping with thick liquid, step by step approaching the crowd.

  "Cuckoo..."

  The frog man's duck mouth opened wide, a long and thin tongue popped out, and with a "slap" sound it shot towards the nearest Rain Wei Yang.

  Yu Wei Yang had never seen such a scene before, and before he could react, his waist was tightened, and Tang Zi quickly hugged Yu Wei Yang in his arms and took several steps back.

  "Bang!"

  A long tongue struck the ground and hollowed out a hole.

  Tangzi hastily asked: "Boss Yu, are you okay?"

  Yu Wei Yang shook his head, feeling that the frog-like man's tongue was too disgusting, and reached out to grab Tang Zi tightly.

  The white feathers on the chicken's skin all stood up, hiding in Wan Qi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and said: "Look, look, it can indeed stretch for half a meter!"

  Nine Lives: “……”

  The frog men rushed up quickly, and Wan Qi Jing Hou protected Wen Bai Yu behind him. Tang Zi hugged Yu Wei Yang, while the poor Jiu Ming Gu Jian Ren was chased by two frog men, running around everywhere.

  The nine lives' movements were extremely agile, but don't look at the clumsy frog man, his tongue was exceptionally agile, and Jiuming dodged repeatedly.

  Just as he dodged the frog man's tongue, a thick water splashed onto Jiǔ Mìng's arm, "Sizzle—" a sound, instantly scorching a piece black.

  "Tsk!"

  Jiǔ Mìng was annoyed and let out a snort, just about to hide again when "Plop!" A frog-like creature suddenly grabbed his neck with its webbed hands, pinning him to the ground.

  Suddenly a large pit appeared on the stone floor of the main tomb chamber, and Jiǔ Mìng was almost pressed to death by it.

  Jiuming's face suddenly turned bright red, and he was out of breath from being pinched. He suddenly lifted his leg and kicked the frog man with a loud "thud", but the frog man didn't let go after being kicked, while the abscess on Jiuming's body burst open instead.

  "Hiss——"

  Another wave of boiling water splashed over, and Jiǔ Mìng was scalded by the boiling water, and he didn't dare to kick again.

  Wen Baiyu was blocked by Wan Kuang Jinghou behind him, and with a glance, he saw Jiū Mìng lying in a deep pit, the frog-like man pinching his neck. Jiū Mìng's hands were still struggling with force at first, but later gradually became weak, and finally fell down.

  "Wan Xi Jing Hou, save, save people! The cat is going to die!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou calmly said: "Is it saving a person or saving a cat?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu's heart was bursting with curses. This was such a critical moment, don't even mention telling jokes, it wasn't funny at all!

  At this moment, the black-scaled merman behind the screen moved again. He stuck his hand to the screen and opened his mouth to say something that sounded like a low, mournful song, with a deep and pleasant voice.

  All the frogmen immediately stopped what they were doing, then backed away, gathered together, and knelt down on the ground, devoutly kowtowing to the merman behind the screen.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Jiǔ Mìng almost got scared to death, when he was about to faint, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the expression of the black-scaled merman behind the screen, cold and icy, but flashing with a hint of panic...

  "Cough...cough...cough..."

  With his last ounce of strength, he coughed and struggled to get up from the ground.

  "Wen Baiyu looked at him and asked: 'Are you okay?'"

  Jiǔ mìng fú zhe xī gài jù liè de kǎi sù zháo, bǎi le bǎi shǒu, gēn běn shuō bu chū yí jù huà, gē bo hé fù bù dōu yǒu qī hēi de shāo shāng.

  Translation:

  He was propped up against his knee with a violent cough, waved his hand and couldn't say a word, his arm and abdomen were both covered in black burns.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Xiao Shuan, don't cough like that, or else you'll have to eat a blood clot."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  The nine lives of Nazgul said: "What is blood sausage? Sounds like witchcraft."

  Wen Baiyu disdainfully said: "Lack of culture is really terrifying, you don't even know what a blood clot is. Young people must study hard to have a future."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  The low voice sounded again, and the black-scaled merman behind the screen spoke again.

  "He said what? I didn't understand a single word."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "He said that as long as he is released, he can prevent these underwater people from attacking us."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "But how can we let it out like this?"

  "Smash it open."

  "Smash open?" Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Is it just that simple?"

  "Nine lives are at stake! We can't let him go! The Black Scaled Sharkmen are a cunning race, their words don't count, they're completely untrustworthy!"

  The black-scaled merman heard the words of the nine lives, and suddenly became enraged. The scales on his body seemed to stand up, forming a sharp armor, and his icy blue eyes narrowed. His hands, which had reverse thorns, slammed against the screen with a "bang".

  The water in the screen was violently shaken, and even the entire tomb chamber was shaking fiercely due to this sudden impact. Fragments of stone fell from the top of the tomb.

  Wen Baiyu's voice trembled as he said: "Say what you have to say properly, don't get agitated, the tomb is going to collapse!"

  Jiǔ Mìng was also startled by the black scales' anger, subconsciously shrinking his shoulders, like a wounded kitten, taking half a step back, staring at the black scales in surprise with bright eyes.

  The black scales of the shark slowly gathered up the vertical scales, and a low voice said something.

  "Impossible! I kept the appointment, only...only a day late, and didn't see you at all!"

  Hei Lin said something else, and Jiu Ming's eyes suddenly widened in shock, then he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

  Wen Baiyu looked at his expression, curious to death, and her heart was itchy. She secretly pulled Wang Jue Hou and said: "What are they talking about?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said faintly, "The Black Scaled Merfolk say that Jiǔ Mìng is a petty person who has lost his words. The merfolk have waited for him for three hundred years, but in the end, Jiǔ Mìng did not come. You should understand what he meant."

  Wen Baiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Nonsense."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said, "The Black Scales Fish people say that they waited for nine lives and three hundred years plus one day. The river water came with a greedy person who drained the water, caught the tribe members at the bottom of the river, made a screen out of their bones, caught him, and locked him up here for thousands of years."

  Jiǔ Mìng didn't speak, thinking that the Black Scaled Merfolk had stood him up. However, it was because of his own tardiness that the Black Scaled Merfolk had been waiting for him all along, and as a result, they ended up being sealed away for a thousand years.

  Wen Baiyu thought, this is indeed a case of mistaken identity, and this black-scaled merman is also quite pitiful.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Then let's smash open the screen and let him out, it's been several thousand years already."

  Jiǔ Mìng shook his head and said, "It's easy to say 'smash it open', but in reality, it's not that simple. The merman's bones are a cold and yin thing, and you need a strong yang energy to counteract them in order to smash them open. Moreover... smashing the screen is equivalent to shattering the merman's bones, and he is the Merman King, who will have to endure the pain of his shattered bones..."

  He said, pausing for a moment, "I only have eight and a half tails. Without the ninth tail, it's not the true Yang energy."

  Jiǔ Mìng raised his head to look at Táng Zǐ and said, "As for the grave, it is originally a place of positive yang energy. However, looking at its appearance, the spiritual energy is gradually drying up, and it's also difficult to break open such a large area of ??jīn rén gǔ (鲛人骨)."

  Yu Wei Yang's hand instinctively tightened, grasping Tang Zhi's hand as soon as he heard the word "dry up". Tang Zhi felt Yu Wei Yang's tension and smiled, saying: "It's okay, Boss Yu."

  Jiǔ Mìng last looked at Wàn Xī Jǐnghóu and said: "Even if you have great abilities, you are still a complete failure."

  Wen Baiyu said at this time, rolling up his sleeves: "Quickly, it's time for me to have a lever, let me turn the earth upside down. You abnormal people, indeed only I am normal. Come on, come on, let me smash."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Jiǔ Mìng said: "You are just a mortal, how dare you be so presumptuous?"

  "But I'm a normal person, doesn't everyone have yang energy in their body?"

  Jiuming said: "Although that's what you say, there isn't much yang energy on a person's body either. Letting you try is not as good as letting the grave try."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu felt as if she was being looked down upon!

  Wen Baiyu didn't believe in evil spirits, so he reached into his bag and pulled out a tool, a hammer, then flexed his wrist.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Don't show off."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Don't worry about it.'"

  He said, gripping his hammer tightly, "Bang!" A loud noise, he smashed it onto the screen.

  A loud noise, the water in the screen suddenly surged up, the black scales of the whole body of the black scale pufferfish stood up, and the reverse thorns on the back of the hand also stood up, as if suffering from great pain.

  And the screen had no cracks at all...

  Wen Baiyu's wrist was shaken numb, staring at the screen with wide eyes, humming a sound, saying: "It's a misunderstanding, let me try again."

  "Boom!!!"

  The second blow came down, and the tomb began to shake violently. The frog-like humanoids knelt on the ground, shaking, while the black-scaled merfolk floated in the water, clenching their fists tightly, with bulging veins on the back of their hands, looking exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

  "Stop... don't smash it."

  The black scales shark-like man said a word, then stretched out his hand and gently stroked the screen wall. Under his fingers, a crack had already appeared on the screen...

  "Wen Baiyu excitedly said: 'I did it! I told you I could do it!'"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou and Tang Zi were also somewhat surprised, although it was just a simple action of smashing open, but if the yang energy is insufficient or the positive yang is not pure, they may not even be able to smash out the cracks.

  It seems that Wen Baiyu is indeed different from others.

  Wen Baiyu smiled at the black-scaled merman behind the screen and said, "I'm going to hit you again, can you hold on?"

  He said, raising his hammer, "Bang!" and struck for the third time.

  "Whoosh——"

  As the third hammer fell, a huge wave also poured in, and the giant waves hit Wen Baiyu's body, instantly drenching him to the bone. The screen shattered, seawater poured out, and a large number of jewels also spilled out with the seawater, all hitting Wen Baiyu's body.

  "Oh...my mom..."

  Wen Baiyu was hit in the chest by a jade-green waterweed, lost her balance, and sat down with a thud. Suddenly, her body was covered with gemstone-like sand.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou immediately stepped forward two steps, helped the person up and said: "How is it?"

  Wen Baiyu waved her hand and looked at the gems hanging on her body, saying: "I've never been buried under so many gems for the first time..."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Yu Wei Yang heard Wen Bai Yu's loud cry and was worried, thinking he was injured. As a result, Wen Bai Yu was heartless and said this as soon as he opened his mouth.

  Wen Baiyu was about to reach out and flick off the gemstones on his body, but Wan Jingshou had already grabbed his hand, saying: "Don't move, there's poison on the gold."

  Wen Baiyu was immediately stunned, these golden shells were also very shiny, and they must have been painted with toxic paint, otherwise how could they be shining in the water.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said, then stretched out his hand and gave him a little poke.

  "Isn't it said to be poisonous?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I have nothing to do with it."

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly and said "oh".

  The screen shattered, the seawater poured in, and the black-scaled merman finally came out of the screen. He said a sentence to Wen Baiyu, but Wen Baiyu couldn't understand it.

  "Cuckoo..."

  "Cuckoo!"

  "Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

  The Toadman and the Black Scaled Crocodile man knelt down one after another, kowtowing to Wen Baiyu, who was shocked.

  Wen Baiyu asked Wan Jijinghou: "What are they saying?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The merman thanked you for letting him out, saying that you are his benefactor and he can help you with anything in the future."

  Wen Baiyu hastily waved his hand.

  The black-scaled merman pointed at Wen Baiyu and said in a low voice, "Donghai, I."

  Wen Baiyu opened her big eyes and said: "This merman can speak human language!"

  What people say...

  Sounds like scolding without using dirty words.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "It's better to only say a small part of it, the lifespan of the merfolk is very long, and if you listen to too much, you'll also learn it."

  Just as Wen Baiyu discovered the "New Continent", the tomb chamber suddenly shook violently.

  Wen Baiyu was stunned and couldn't stand still, Dong Hai suddenly turned pale and said, "Let's go."

  "What's going on?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou's face was also very bad, and he said: "There are talismans on the screen, the screen is shattered, and the main grave has risen from the dead."

  "Grave owner?!"

  Wen Baiyu shouted loudly and said: "Is it that freak who collects corpses?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou grabbed him and said: "Hurry up."

  The massive screen shattered, without the screen's obstruction, the main tomb chamber was left with nothing to hide. The tomb chamber was resplendent in gold and jade, extremely luxurious. The four walls of the tomb chamber were also glass display cabinets, all containing specimens of corpses. Various gold, silver, and jewels were placed inside the tomb chamber, and on both sides of the coffin were many golden stone carvings of servant girls and attendants.

  The coffin was shaking violently at this time, as if someone inside was struggling and pushing against the lid of the coffin. The maids and servants beside it also suddenly moved.

  Wen Baiyu shouted loudly: "It's possessed! Those golden objects moved!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "That's not gold, it's a person. They put a living person in a mold and then pour in the molten gold to make it."

  Wen Baiyu shuddered and said: "From now on, don't give me any more disgusting things like this... Let's get out of here quickly!"

  Everyone ran out of the tomb chamber that was shaking violently, while the Frogman and Donghai stood still inside the tomb chamber, waiting for them to leave.

  Jiǔ Mìng went out and turned back again, Wen Bai Yu said: "What are you doing?! Hurry up and run!"

  Jiuming gritted his teeth and said: "That fish is still inside, I'll go take a look."

  He finished speaking and plunged into the tomb again, Wen Baiyu stared with her eyes wide open, saying: "Why don't they run?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said calmly, "Merfolk are all biased. The tomb owner of this grave killed a large number of merfolk and black scale merfolk's clansmen. Donghai is also the king of merfolk, he wants to take revenge."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Revenge?"

  He suddenly thought of the story that Wan Qi Jinghou told in the car, Wu Zixu took revenge and whipped the corpse 300 times.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is this tomb owner powerful or not? Can they handle it?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "A few thousand years of zongzi, also understand the restraint of underwater people, should have put in a lot of great effort, not simple."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Wan Qi Jinghou, saying: "How does it compare to you? Is it fierce?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou also suddenly stopped, and the front Yu Wei Yang and Tang Zi saw them stop, and they turned back to run over. Yu Wei Yang said: "What are you doing?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou thought for a moment and said, "It's still far from good."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Tang Zi with suspicion and said, "Really?"

  Tang Zixiao smiled and said: "Although I only lived for thirty years, in my opinion, what he said is a big truth."

  Wen Baiyu grabbed Wan Jinhou and said, "Let's go rescue them!"

  Yu Wei Yang felt a bit helpless, but he just ran away like that, leaving Dong Hai and the others to cut off their pursuit, which was indeed not very nice of him.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou did not have any extra expression, he just nodded and said: "Alright, I'll listen to you."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Hurry up."

  Four people ran back and forth, running into the tomb when they saw the coffin burst open with a loud "crack", the coffin lid flying out and smashing onto the transparent display cabinet, shattering it to pieces, and the corpse inside was also smashed beyond recognition.

  Donghai's eyes narrowed, and his black scales stood on end, exuding an aura of rage.

  Jiǔ Mìng saw them return and said: "How did you guys come back?!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I'm afraid your eight and a half tails can't keep up."

  Nine Lives: “……”

  That little bit of emotion vanished into thin air...

  The coffin burst open, and a rice dumpling wrapped in gold and silver sat up straight from the coffin.

  He was covered in blood, dripping with a sticky liquid.

  Tang Zǐ narrowed his eyes and said: "It's actually a blood corpse."

  Yu Wei Yang had once heard people on the Dao say that a blood corpse was the most terrifying type of zongzi. If someone encountered a blood corpse while digging, they would absolutely not take anything and honestly retreat back to the surface before reburying the tomb in its original state.

  If the blood dumplings rise from the dead, then absolutely no one can survive.

  Yu Wei's palms were slightly sweaty, and the corpse in front of him had a very heavy yin energy. Under the influence of this yin energy, he felt a little flustered.

  Tang Zishen reached out and grasped his palm, saying: "Yu Boss, don't be afraid, I'm here."

  Yu Wei Yang's old face turned red and he said: "It's... it's just a bit cold."

  Xue Zongzi sat up, apart from wearing gold and silver, extremely luxurious, Wen Baiyu discovered a big secret.

  "Wen Baiyu said in shock: 'I finally know why the tomb owner likes collecting corpses of sea creatures...'"

  The blood dumplings were terrifying, and he was wearing clothes woven from golden threads. On his head was a magnificent crown made of transparent gemstones. If Wen Baiyu wasn't mistaken, this material should also be the bones of merfolk.

  The most frightening thing about the Blood Zongzi is not that it's covered in blood, nor that it rises from the dead. It's because it has a monkey face, fish lips, square eyes, and its hands have webbing between the fingers, with sharp fingernails, and arms like those of an otter.

  No wonder when Wen Baiyu saw the "exhibition platform" earlier, he always felt that the tomb owner, apart from being a pervert who liked to collect corpses, also revealed an extremely resentful emotion.

  It turned out that the tomb owner itself was actually a mutated species that had been exposed to excessive radiation...

  A self-abased pervert pours out his indignation on a similarly strange race.

  As the blood dumplings rose from the dead, the people on both sides of the coffin also started moving, "creaking" as they walked, as if they were alive, and walking towards them.

  Wan Zongjing said to Wen Baiyu: "Fall back and guard."

  He had just finished speaking when Tang Zi stopped him and said, "Last time in the tomb, I almost repaid kindness with enmity to Boss. This kind of small matter is still me, it can also be considered as atoning for my crime."

  Wen Baiyu did not know that Tangzi was going to kill him in the tomb, and Wan Si Jinghou did not tell Wen Baiyu either, so Wen Baiyu listened vaguely.

  Tangzi said to Yu Wei Yang: "Boss Yu, trouble you to close your eyes."

  Yu Wei Yang said with a sullen face: "What's the point of closing your eyes? Are you expecting some kind of surprise?"

  Tangzi laughed and said: "I'm afraid Boss Yu will see it and be scared, and won't care about me anymore."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Yu Wei Yang didn't close his eyes, and suddenly saw Tang Zi walk away from his side. With a flick of his body, he transformed into a huge black bird. The head was like that of a rooster, the beak was like that of a swallow, the neck was like that of a snake, the back was like that of a turtle, and the tail was like that of a fish. All over its body were black feathers, with five thick tails, and very long feathers on top.

  Wen Baiyu was stunned and said: "It's still pretty cool..."

  Yu Wei Yang wasn't the first time to see Tang Zhi's prototype, he still remembered that time in Shaanxi's Song tomb, he vaguely saw a big black bird, and it was the same bird that saved himself, now thinking about it, it turned out to be Tang Zhi.

  The black wings spread out, and the bird let out a loud, ear-piercing cry. The airflow generated by its flapping was enormous, and a strong gust of wind suddenly swept through the tomb, lifting up several golden figurines. They crashed against the wall with a "thud", splitting open to reveal the rotten zongzi inside. The zongzi twitched twice before lying still.

  Wen Baiyu and Yu Wei Yang were dumbfounded.

  At this moment, the blood zongzi crawled out of the coffin, and Yu Yang's heart jumped with a thud, shouting: "Be careful!"

  A black tomb suddenly rose from the ground, dodging a blood zongzi. A pair of red eyes stared wide-eyed and suddenly spat out flames from its beak, burning the blood zongzi. The blood zongzi let out a miserable cry of "Kakaka!!!"

  "Hey, I wonder if it will be burnt to a crisp, this roasted glutinous rice ball."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  At this moment, the blood zongzi suddenly struggled, and its body's blood dripped down, suddenly rushing out of the tomb's flames, running towards the crowd.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou grasped Wen Bai Yu with one hand and grabbed Yu Wei Yang with the other, quickly retreating three steps. The blood pellet barely brushed past them, and Wen Bai Yu caught a whiff of a foul, fishy smell, which was the scent emitted by the blood pellet's dispersing blood.

  Jiǔ Mìng was very unlucky. He stood behind Wēn Bái Yǔ, and when Wēn Bái Yǔ was dragged away by Wàn Qǐ Jǐng Hóu, the Blood Glutinous Rice Dumpling directly pounced on him.

  Just as the blood dumpling was about to pounce, a loud "bang" sounded, and an icy blue trident thrust in from the side, pinning the blood dumpling to the wall.

  Jiǔ Mìng opened his eyes wide, and saw Dōnghǎi standing not far away. A pair of blue eyes narrowed, the ferocious reverse spikes on the back of his hand slowly lengthened, and a icy blue trident actually grew out from his skin.

  A sharp spear pierced through the arm of Xuezi, pinning him to the wall like a specimen on display.

  The blood dumplings let out a loud "Kakaka - Kakaka!!" and struggled violently.

  Donghai simply looked at the struggling Blood Ball indifferently, his long spear was still slowly extending, bit by bit sinking into the Blood Ball's arm, as if it wanted to pierce through to the bone.

  Foul-smelling plasma dripped down from the Blood Dumpling's arm, its fish lips wide open to reveal the jagged teeth inside as it let out a loud "Kakaka" cry.

  Donghai said something in a low voice, and the frog-like man also followed with a "ribbit" cry, as if it were some sort of ritual.

  "What did he say?"

  He said: "Let Xue Zongzi pay with his life."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Alas, he's already dead, didn't have a life to begin with."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Even if you die, there is still a soul. The zongzi pierced by the trident will have its soul disappear into thin air."

  "If they really did disappear into thin air, that would be a fitting punishment. People like them aren't worth sympathizing with."

  At this moment, the Blood Zongzi suddenly let out a loud cry, and then everyone heard a "tearing" sound. The Blood Zongzi actually tore off its nailed arm with brute force, then opened its bloody mouth wide and pounced towards Donghai.

  "Be careful!"

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud shout, and Jiǔ Mìng had already dodged away. His movements were extremely swift, and with one crash, he collided into Xuě Zòngzi's body, violently knocking him open. In the instant that Jiǔ Mìng came into contact with Xuě Zòngzi, he felt as though the skin on his arm was rotting away, and Wen Baiyu's pale hand had instantly become stained with blood, which continued to spread.

  "Ah..."

  Jiǔ Mìng tuī de dī hǒu le yī shēng, hū xī jí cuò, yǎn kàn zhěng tiáo gē bāo dōu yào fǔ làn le.

  Translation:

  The ninth life's low growl sounded, breathing hastily, the entire arm was about to rot away.

  Wen Baiyu looked at his own pale and slender arm, which had suddenly become bumpy and uneven, and was frightened to shiver. "What's going on? What happened to his arm?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Don't go any further, there is a water-borne toxin on the blood dumplings."

  Wen Baiyu was stunned and said: "Th...then what should we do?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou glanced at Dong Hai lightly and said, "Someone can save him."

  He said, and Wen Baiyu saw a look of panic on Donghai's beautiful face, the long spear on his hand quickly retracted, turned into a reverse thorn, he quickly squatted down, hugged Jiuming, and said something.

  Wen Baiyu didn't understand.

  The ninth life was in extreme pain and said: "Open your mouth to do... uh!"

  He hadn't finished speaking when Donghai suddenly lowered his head and covered Jiǔ Mìng's lips with his own, Jiǔ Mìng's eyes widened in shock as he tried to struggle, but then felt the other's icy tongue slipping inside, causing him to shiver.

  Then something was rolled up on the tongue and sent into his own mouth.

  "Ah..."

  He took the thing and slid it smoothly, slipping into the throat of the nine lives in an instant, swallowing it into his stomach without any defense. His stomach suddenly felt a chill, with a cold feeling that penetrated to the bone.

  Nine lives were pushed open by the East Sea, and he fell to the ground, dry retching several times, but couldn't spit it out. He glared and said: "What did you feed me?!"

  Just then he saw that his arms supporting him on the ground, the festering spots on them gradually faded away and returned to their original fair complexion.

  "Really? Is that so?"

  Donghai looked down at him with a superior attitude and said two words. Jiuyi's eyes widened in astonishment, his head raised in shock as he stared at him, unable to speak for a long time.

  Wen Baiyun was curious and pulled Wang Jinghou, saying: "What did he give Jiǔ Mìng to eat, why is Jiǔ Mìng so shocked?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The inner elixir of the mermaid."

  "Internal Elixir?"

  Wen Baiyu didn't understand these things, but he had also watched TV and knew that the inner elixir seemed to be a very extraordinary thing.

  It seems that this Donghai is actually a cold outside and hot inside type, and he's quite generous.

  Wen Baiyu sighed, having already subconsciously ignored the kiss from the person who had just arrived...

  Tang Zi had transformed back into human form and stood beside Yu Yang, his eyes still ruby red in color, without fully fading.

  Xue Zongzi was knocked to the ground, and with one arm missing, he seemed extremely uncoordinated. He crawled on the ground for half a day before finally getting up, stumbling and staggering towards Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu cursed and turned around to run, shouting: "With so many people, why are you catching me!"

  Wen Baiyu had not run two steps when he heard a loud cry of "Ah!!" and turned his head to see Wan Jinhou standing behind him, one hand raised and pinching the neck of the Blood Sausage.

  Two bloodshot eyes of a frog stared round and wide, as if they were about to pop out. A "gurgling... gurgling" sound came from his throat, and his only hand tried to rise up in resistance.

  Wen Baiyu opened her eyes wide and said: "Be careful!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "Nothing."

  As he spoke, his fingers clenched into a fist with a loud "crack", and then quickly withdrew. The blood-covered man's eyes widened, and with a thud, he collapsed to the ground, motionless, this time truly dead.

  Wen Baiyu was excited and just about to speak with Wan Jijinghou, but what Wan Jijinghou said was indeed true. This blood plum blossom is really not worth looking at, and Wan Jijinghou immediately subdued him.

  Just as he was about to speak, he saw a bloody thing in Wan Jie Jing Hou's hand. He only saw Wan Jie Jing Hou throwing the thing on the ground with a "slap" sound, and a lot of blood stains were splashed on the floor.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him with disgust and said, "What is that thing? Did you squeeze out his tonsils?! These tonsils are too big, they're inflamed..."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "It's a heart."

  Wen Baiyu hid behind Yu Yang and stretched out his hand, saying: "You... you'd better not touch me for now, your hands smell too bad..."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Tangzi: "......"

  Wan Gui Jing Hou: "......"

  The rice dumplings are dead and can't be any deader.

  Wen Baiyu walked over to take a look, and inside the coffin was still pressing down on a piece of golden silk. Wen Baiyu carefully used a probe to pick it out, afraid that there might be poison on it.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou was wiping his hands with a paper towel and took a look, saying: "Not poisonous."

  Wen Baiyu then picked it up with his hands and unfolded it. Not a single character was recognizable, all were seal scripts.

  Yu Wei Yang smiled and said: "I know, let me see."

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but sigh deeply, thinking that he was a university graduate with a full scholarship and excellent academic performance, yet in front of these people, he had become illiterate!

  Yu Wei Yang has done a lot of research on these ancient characters. He likes these words very much, although he can't see them all clearly, but he understands them absolutely.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "This is the biography of the tomb owner. This is a Spring and Autumn tomb, the tomb owner was the smallest country in the Spring and Autumn period, called Zhongshan State. It is recorded here that the tomb owner was intelligent and had great strength since childhood."

  However, he was violent and extravagant by nature, extremely fond of listening to people's wailing and screaming sounds. One day, when he passed by the water's edge, he unexpectedly found a dark shadow in the water, ordered his men to fish it out, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a monster with a human upper body and a fish tail - the legendary Mermaid, who was exceptionally beautiful.

  The king had the merman brought back to the capital, and began to torture him with punishment. When he heard the merman's wailing voice, he was extremely happy. The merman cried bitterly, shedding a large amount of night pearls, even his scales, bones, and flesh were all treasures.

  He was overjoyed and began to have people catch a large number of black scale sharks, mobilizing the army to search for them by the sea. Later, he not only found the sharks but also many things that had never been seen before. The seabed is mysterious, with many underwater people, frog people, fish-faced human monsters.

  He especially liked mermaids, watching them suffer, tormenting these mermaids day and night.

  Later, because this person offended the heavenly mechanism, overnight, his mouth turned into an everted fish lip, his eyes turned into frog eyes, webbed feet grew on his hands and feet, abscesses grew on his body, his arms became thin like a monkey's, and he had sharp fingernails.

  He finally became afraid and visited many strange people, eventually finding one person whom he revered as a national teacher, but he didn't know the man's name, only that there was a flame-shaped tattoo on his hand.

  "Hey, wait a minute, another flame pattern? This is getting too frequent."

  Yu Wei nodded slightly and also felt strange, continuing to read on.

  The national teacher told him that this was a curse, which would exhaust his life and make him immediately build a mausoleum for himself. The address of the mausoleum must be in the water, and it needs a lot of corpses to guard the tomb, otherwise there will be evil spirits making trouble.

  They came to the place chosen by Guoshi, drained all the river water, and according to Guoshi's method, easily caught all the species in the river. They started a big killing spree, and what surprised Guoshi was that they also had an unexpected harvest.

  That is the god of the East Sea.

  The national teacher said that the divine spirit of the East China Sea is very sufficient, can calm the tomb, and must be alive. This mermaid king is a rare treasure in the world, more precious than any burial.

  The king had an idea, so he ordered people to follow the national teacher's words, caught the merman king, and put him in a huge screen made of merman bones. The national teacher cast a spell on it, ensuring that the merman king could not escape from the screen.

  The king died later and was buried in a mausoleum at the bottom of the water.

  Wen Baiyu said: "What a pervert, who likes to listen to others' screams?"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "I have a question."

  Tangzi said: "Boss Yu, what's wrong?"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Do you still remember the mural we saw in the tomb? In the story of Xiang Wang and Hong Yu, there was also a person with flames on his back. That was during the Western Zhou period, while this golden silk records the Spring and Autumn period, and there is also a person with flames on his back. So many years have passed between them, that person must have lived long enough."

  Wen Baiyu said: "It seems to make sense, although I don't know how long the Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn periods are apart..."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Tangzi said: "Let's get out of here first, the yin energy is very strong here, and Boss Yu's body is important."

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly.

  Dong Hai spoke up and said: "Send you, me."

  "Hmmph..."

  Wen Baiyu was amused by his words, can't blame him for laughing, because Dong Hai looks like a tyrannical president, tall and handsome, but unexpectedly has a bit of cuteness when he opens his mouth...

  Wan Xi Jinghou suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "It's not clean."

  Wen Baiyu's attention was successfully diverted, and she rolled her eyes, saying: "Are you a social outcast? Don't use your hands next time, it's disgusting! What if he has a disease, it's not hygienic at all!"

  He said, taking out a bottle of alcohol wipes from his backpack, and handed one to Wan Qi Jing Hou to wipe his hands. He wiped each finger individually, saying with a look of distaste on his face: "Alright, all clean..."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Jiuming's eyelids jumped suddenly, but why did he always feel that Wan Qi Jinghou's belly was particularly black, and Wen Baiyu seemed to have been eaten to death.

  The East Sea is the king of merfolk, able to control the winds and waves. Wen Baiyu felt like he was watching a visual feast as the river water suddenly parted in the middle, revealing a dry stretch of land.

  The East Sea sent them out of the water's surface, and surprisingly, none of them got wet.

  Donghai floated on the surface of the water, looking at the crowd on the shore and said: "Thank you, thank you."

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "Fortunately it's in the middle of the night, otherwise the people in town would have been scared to death if they saw the river water behaving like this."

  Donghai smiled slightly, waved at them, and then dove into the water, disappearing from sight.

  Jiuming stood on one side and said, "Hmph, laughing as if you're going to suffer a calamity."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  It's almost daylight, Wen Baiyu is exhausted and says: "Let's go back quickly, I want to sleep, I can't move a single step."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I'm going to betray you."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Really?"

  "Never mind, it's just a few steps away, I'll walk myself. You look tired too."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I am not tired."

  He said, slightly crouching down, gesturing for Wen Baiyu to come up.

  Wen Baiyu smiled and leaned on Wang Jingshou's back, chatting with him while smiling, then fell asleep after saying a few words, even snoring loudly, really exhausted.

  Yu Wei Yang was already used to seeing them being affectionate and didn't react much. Tang Zi came over and said, "Boss Yu, are you tired? I can carry you too."

  Yu Wei's face turned red and she said: "No...no need, I'm fine."

  He said with some disappointment, "There are many valuable things in the tomb, but none of them are useful."

  Tang Zixiao smiled and grabbed Yu Wei Yang's hand, saying: "It doesn't matter, anyway there is still a long time, Boss Yu will continue to accompany me to find it, right?"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Of course."

  He paused for a moment and stuttered: "T-then... about the double cough, Wen Baiyu told me about it earlier."

  Tang Zi was taken aback and said: "So Boss Yu has heard... what does Boss Yu mean?"

  Yu Wei Yang glared fiercely and said: "I... I haven't lived enough yet, what about you."

  Tang Zi suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Boss Yu, really?"

  Yu Wei Yang said in an ill-tempered tone: "Fake!"

  Tang Zi immediately hugged the person in his arms, stretched out his hand to gently stroke Rui Wenyang's back, which made Rui Wenyang suddenly tense up and stare with wide eyes, saying: "What are you doing? Let go."

  Tang Zi said: "Boss Yu, I'm too excited."

  Wen Baiyu was sleeping soundly and was woken up, only to find that they had slept for just a few minutes. They hadn't even arrived at the reception yet when they saw Tang Zi and Yu Wei Yang hugging each other intimately.

  Wen Baiyu glanced disdainfully and muttered: "In broad daylight, hugging and embracing... a pair of dog men..."

  He fell asleep again after finishing speaking.

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Jiǔ Mìng watched them laughing and joking, suddenly stopped, turned around to take a look at the river water, the river water was very calm, the sky was very dark, nothing could be seen.

  Jiǔ Mìng's face showed some disappointment, and he subconsciously touched his stomach, the internal elixir he had swallowed was still icy cold.

  They returned to the hotel, Wen Baiyu didn't even take a shower and fell asleep on the bed. Yu Wanting wanted to take a bath, Tang Zi also wanted to follow, but was kicked out by Yu Wanting.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took a bath and lay down beside Wen Bai Yu, who waved his hand in disgust, thinking he was too cold.

  Jiǔ Mìng had transformed into a small black cat, crouching by the window of the room, its two green eyes gazing outwards, fixed on the direction of the river.

  Until dawn.

  Wen Baiyu slept well and didn't get up until after noon on the second day. She was woken up by her hunger!

  Wen Baiyu woke up and smelled a salty smell on her body, so she quickly took a bath and changed into clean clothes.

  They came here to find the underwater tomb and now they have found it, so they plan to hurry back to Beijing. Everyone starts packing their luggage and then checks out of the room.

  The girl at the front desk saw them checking out and was reluctant to part with them, saying: "Wan, Wan Qi big brother... are you leaving already? I... I'll see off Wan Qi big brother?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou still said coldly: "No need."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  As soon as they got on the carriage, Wen Baiyu pinched Wan Qi Jinghou's neck and said: "Tell me honestly, that little girl was infatuated with me on the first day, how did she suddenly start showing affection to you!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou thought seriously for half a day, then solemnly said: "Because I'm handsome."

  "Pffft!"

  Yu Wei Yang burst out laughing while driving, almost to the point of suffocation. The car shook violently and swerved all over the road, making it hard for Yu Wei Yang to hold onto the steering wheel.

  "Drive carefully!"

  After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Wan Kuang Jing Hou: "You are also really shameless."

  However, she had to admit that Wan Jie Zong Huan was really handsome. Wen Bai Yu thought that among the people she had seen, there wasn't anyone more handsome than him...

  When the car reached the riverbank, the little black cat suddenly jumped out of the window.

  "Damn it!"

  Wen Baiyu shouted loudly: "The silly cat has jumped onto the car, stop the car quickly!"

  It rained heavily and a car screeched to a halt, "Where did he run off to?"

  Wen Bai opened the car door and saw a little black cat running to the riverbank. Because it was daytime, there were many people by the river. Suddenly seeing an adorable little black cat, everyone's eyes turned to look.

  As soon as Wen Baiyu got off the bus, he saw a little black cat trying to "commit suicide"!

  Only saw a little black cat rushing to the riverbank, without caring about the water, meowing and running past, the river water immediately reached the little black cat's chin.

  The little black cat raised its chin and let out a loud "meow" towards the river water.

  There were many people beside him, whispering: "Oh my, whose cat is this? What's it doing?"

  Having an epileptic seizure...

  Wen Baiyu could only think of this.

  Wen Baiyu ran to the riverbank, his clothes were neat and tidy, but he didn't want to get wet. He said, "Hurry back, we still have a long way to go."

  The little black cat ignored him and continued meowing at the river water.

  "Alas, let's go quickly."

  "Meow——"

  The little black cat protested with a meow, seemingly very displeased with its name, then meowed again towards the river water.

  Just as Wen Baiyu was thinking about whether or not to get in the water and catch him, the little black cat suddenly let out a loud "meow" and then plunged into the water with a splash.

  Are you kidding me?!

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened, and the little black cat plunged into the water. After that, it lay in the river and started rolling over and over, back and forth, until half of its body was submerged, but not quite drowned.

  The little black cat rolled around, meowed, and then spoke in human language: "I'd rather die, I'd rather drown, I'd rather drown..."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I think Donghai has already returned to the sea, after all, he is a merman. You can't see him even if you roll over again... Besides, there are so many people here, do you want to be taken as a monster and sent to the research institute?"

  The little black cat splashed around in the water for a long time, finally hanging its head and walking out of the water with a dejected air, then drooping its ears and jumping onto the car with disappointment in its eyes.

  Wen Baiyu tossed a towel to him, and the little black cat rolled around on it, wiping itself clean. Then it lay down on the rear window of the car, staring in the direction of the river water, meowing from time to time.

  Yu Wei Yang said strangely: "What's wrong with your cat?"

  "......I guess."

  The little black cat looked for a while, finally jumped down from the rear window, and lay on the back seat, listlessly.

  Just after the little black cat turned its head, a ripple suddenly appeared on the river surface, and Donghai emerged from the water, gazing at the direction where the car disappeared with a dim gaze.

  After going back, Wen Baiyu found out that her cat was really sick.

  Every day, without eating or drinking, lying on the windowsill, revealing a sorrowful and resentful gaze, sometimes touching its belly.

  Wen Baiyu's eyelids twitched as she looked at it and said: "Is our tom cat pregnant? Why else would it always be touching its belly?"

  Nine Lives: “……”

  The little black cat looked at him for a moment, then listlessly withdrew its gaze again.

  Wen Baiyu also said: "Now the weather is getting cooler and it's not even spring yet, so it can't be **."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said lightly: "Just take him to a pet hospital for sterilization."

  Meow!!!!!

  Jiǔ Mìng let out a loud shout and finally lost his temper, dashing under the sofa to sulk.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him running under the sofa, a pair of eyes losing their luster, and when no one noticed, he shed a tear, looking really heartbroken. Wen Baiyu sighed and didn't bother with him anymore.

  Wen Baiyu was just about to go to a small restaurant when there was a knock at the door. When he opened it, it turned out to be an express delivery.

  Wen Baiyu didn't know who sent it, opened it and found a plane ticket from Beijing to Jinhua, Zhejiang...

  Wen Baiyu was still wondering who had sent her the plane ticket.

  Just then the phone rang, Wen Baiyu was still standing by the door and said: "Wan Kuang Jinghou, help me answer the phone."

  Wan Qi Jinghou picked up the phone and said "Hello", then said: "Looking for you, it's your uncle."

  "Hey?" said Wen Baiyu, hastily taking over.

  It's really Wen Baiyu's uncle.

  Wen Baiyu's parents died early, and all of Wen Baiyu's relatives were only two uncles.

  When Wen Baiyu was young, it was his two uncles who brought him up. To talk about it, these two uncles of Wen Baiyu liked to collect antiques, but there were no genuine goods at home. Every time they bought something, it turned out to be fake, but they never got tired of it.

  Wen Baiyu was more afraid of Uncle, because Uncle didn't smile or speak much, looking very serious. When Wen Baiyu was naughty as a child, it was always Uncle who spanked him.

  The little uncle was very gentle. Every time Xiao Baiyu caused trouble, he would hide behind his little uncle. At that time, the big uncle could only glare and wouldn't hit him either.

  Wen Jiu Mu's voice was warm and gentle as he smiled and said: "The house in your family has finally been rented out?"

  Wen Baiyu glanced up at Wan Jingshou and replied perfunctorily, "Haha... what's up, little uncle calling to discuss something?"

  "Have you received the express delivery? I sent you a ticket."

  Wen Baiyu was holding the ticket and said, "It turns out it was sent by my younger brother-in-law, I've received it."

  "Wen Jiu Mu said: 'Your uncle misses you and wants you to come over and stay for a few days.'"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu glared at his uncle Wen Xie's paralyzed face, and immediately shuddered, saying: "Uncle, you're not joking..."

  Wen Jiu Mu smiled and said: "Then I'll think of you, come over and stay for a few days, okay?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "Of course, then I'll just tidy up and pay my respects."

  "Wen Jiu Mu said: 'There's no need to bring anything, everything is here.'"

  Wen Baiyu responded with a sound and then chatted with Wen Jiumu for a long time before hanging up the phone in a pleasant mood.

  "What place are you going to?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "Going to Jinhua, my uncle has a house in Jinhua, let me go stay for a few days, about a week, I'll be back. You and Tangzi take good care of the store, I..."

  Wen Baiyu was overjoyed, chattering away excitedly. The next day, he got up very early to catch the morning flight. Carrying his luggage out of the bedroom, he found that Wan Jinhao was also awake, with a suitcase by his feet...

  On the tea table was also a plane ticket from Beijing to Jinhua...

  Wen Baiyu said: "You... are you going out?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said: "Go with you to Jinhua."

  Wen Baiyu's expression suddenly turned stern and she said: "You're going to Jinhua, who will take care of the store?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "There is still Tang Zi."

  "What are you going to Jinhua for?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said naturally: "Just take a walk, travel."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu was speechless for a moment.

  Then the two of them went out together, Wen Baiyu sat in the taxi, thinking about how to tell his two uncles about Wan Kuangjing's identity when he arrived in Jinhua.

  Uncle, younger uncle, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend...

  Wen Baiyu suddenly covered his face with both hands, burying it between his knees, and let out a pained moan. The mental image was too beautiful, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

  Judging from Uncle Wen's temper, I reckon he would slap him all the way to Antarctica...

  Wen Baiyu thought, suddenly realizing that Wan Jingshou had never confessed to her, except for always being flirtatious and not saying anything else. Did they even count as a couple?!

  Wen Baiyu let out another sorrowful sigh.

  "What's wrong with you?" said Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  The driver in front smiled and said: "Young man, are you carsick? Open the window a bit and breathe some fresh air."

  He said: "You rely on my shoulders."

  Wen Baiyu raised his head and glared at Wan Kuang Jing Hou, who had no idea why he was being glared at.

  On the plane, the person sitting next to Wen Baiyu was not Wan Qi Jinghou. Although Wan Qi Jinghou and Wen Baiyu's numbers were adjacent, they happened to be in the second row.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou then went to exchange seats with a little girl next to Wen Bai Yu.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the little girl with a shy face, red-faced, and stuttered: "That... handsome guy, can we exchange phone numbers?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu silently stuffed her luggage onto the rack, thinking to herself, haha, Wan Jiahao doesn't have a cell phone, that's really great.

  As expected, the little girl didn't believe that Wan Qi Jing Hou didn't have a mobile phone and thought he just didn't want to give her his phone number. She looked very disappointed as she exchanged seats with Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu packed his luggage with a pleased smile, thinking that Wan Kuangjing was not someone who could be easily handled by just anyone.

  He was jammed in, when he suddenly felt his luggage shake once, and a bad idea struck him.

  Wen Baiyu quickly opened her luggage and indeed saw a black fluffy thing!

  It's nine lives!!

  Wen Baiyu glared with her eyes, looked around, lowered her voice and gritted her teeth: "What are you following me for?"

  Jiǔ Mìng Wō zài xíng lǐ xiāng lǐ, shuō: "Xīn qíng bù hǎo, chū lái sǎn xīn."

  Translation:

  The nine lives nest in the suitcase said: "I'm not feeling well, I'll go out for a walk to clear my mind."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Where did you throw my luggage?'"

  The lazy cat said: "I ate it."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu was speechless for a moment, she had packed up all night yesterday and brought many Beijing snacks to her two uncles, but in the end only one suitcase of packaging paper was left...

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, even if she went to the temple to pray and met some abnormal people, it was still okay. But what's with this cat? It may look small, but its appetite is astonishing! A whole box of snacks!

  Wen Baiyu is not only carsick, but also airsick. When the plane takes off, she feels like she's going to die and almost buries herself in Wang Qi Jing Hou's arms.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou was very happy to let him lean on his shoulder.

  The little girl behind suddenly understood everything and couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

  Wen Baiyu wasn't flying for the first time, but every time he flew, he was very unrefined, especially fond of drinking airplane drinks, and the flight attendants looked good too.

  After the plane took off, it was very stable. The flight attendant pushed a food cart over and Wen Baiyu asked for two cans of beer.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou said: "Aren't you drunk yet, still drinking beer?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry. If I get drunk in a while, you can just carry me away."

  After drinking two cans of beer, Wen Baiyu felt the urge to go to the bathroom. He got up, still feeling dizzy and his legs were weak, stumbling as he made his way to the restroom.

  He walked unsteadily and happened to bump into a tall man. Just as he was about to apologize, he looked up.

  Damn it...

  Blue eyes, at first glance thought it was a foreigner, Wen Bai Yu's brain couldn't keep up, is he going to say something romantic...

  "East Sea!?"

  Donghai nodded and sat down in a position beside him.

  Wen Baiyu immediately looked up and glanced at the suitcase twice. Jiǔ Mìng was still hiding in the suitcase, eating snacks to vent her anger, completely unaware of what was happening.

  Wen Baiyu stared at Donghai in shock, his appearance hadn't changed, but he didn't have a fish tail, instead he had two legs! Just like an ordinary person.

  "Sir, the plane is going to land, please return to your seat and fasten your safety belt."

  Although Wen Baiyu still wanted to talk to Donghai, she had already been asked to return by the flight attendant. As soon as Wen Baiyu sat down, she said to Wan Qi Jinghou: "I just saw Donghai, he doesn't have a fish tail, isn't it said that merfolk can't leave the water?"

  He is the king of merfolk, and at least he has this ability.

  "Oh."

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly.

  After the plane landed, Wen Baiyu wanted to tell Jiuming that Donghai was also here, but there were too many people getting off the plane and he couldn't find Donghai anywhere.

  Wen Baiyu drank two cans of beer. He was supposed to be able to hold his liquor, but this was on a plane and he got quite dizzy from drinking. He stumbled as he walked.

  Wen Baiyu was brought out by Wan Qi Jinghou.

  As soon as they arrived at the parking lot, someone came to pick them up. Wen Lei drove himself and Wen Jiu Mu also came.

  Wen Kai is very tall and big, not talkative, with a dark complexion, looking very serious. Wen Jiu Mu, on the other hand, has a slender build, smiling warmly, these two people are completely unlike brothers, and they don't look alike at all.

  Wen Baiyu was perched on Wan Jiahui's back, while Wan Jiahui carried him and also carefully held onto their luggage.

  Wen Bai's white sleeves fluttered as she waved her hand and greeted two uncles with a silly smile.

  Wen Jiu Mu hastily got off the car and said: "Bai Yu, what's wrong with you?"

  Wen Kai then said in a calm tone: "Look at you, what's wrong with your appearance."

  "Umm... I drank too much on the plane..."

  Wen Jiu Mu quickly helped him down and into the back seat of the car, then said to Wan Kuang Jing Hou: "I'm so sorry, sir, I've caused you trouble."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "Nothing."

  Wen Jiu Mu smiled and said: "Sir, who are you?"

  Wan Kuang thought for a moment and said: "I am Wen Baiyu's..."

  He wanted to say friend, but Wen Baiyu sat in the car, stuck his head out and laughed foolishly, saying "Boyfriend!"

  Wen Jiu Mu: "......"

  Even Wan Qi Jing Hou was startled, didn't expect Wen Bai Yu to be so direct? He still wanted to slowly meet Wen Bai Yu's family.

  Wen Kai turned around from the driver's seat and knocked Wen Baiyu on the head, saying: "You little rascal, what are you talking about?"

  Wen Baiyu was knocked down by him and fell onto the chair, started snoring loudly and fell asleep...

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled slightly and then said again: "I am friends with Wen Bai Yu, I heard he's coming to Jinhua in the next few days, and it just so happens that I'm also traveling here."

  Wen Jiu nodded and said: "Have you found a good inn? Since you are a friend of Bai Yu, let's stay together. Our house has many empty rooms."

  Mo Xi Jing Hou rarely didn't have a cold expression and said: "Then I'll be bothering you."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou put his luggage in the trunk and got into the car. Wen Bai Yu felt Wan Qi Jing Hou's cool body temperature and immediately snuggled up to him, lying down on his legs and falling asleep with a "humming" sound.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't despise him either, and lightly laughed as he took off his coat and draped it over him.

  Wen Kei saw the state of two people from the rearview mirror and frowned, but didn't say anything.

  They arrived home, and it was a villa, designed in a classical style, looking very luxurious.

  Wen Baiyu was still asleep when Wan Xizonghou picked him up and followed his two uncles into the house.

  There is still a servant at home who comes over to carry luggage and says: "Sir, there are guests who have been waiting in the teahouse for half an hour."

  "What guest?" Wen Ke frowned and asked.

  The servant said: "I don't know what kind of guest he is, he says his surname is Ma."

  Wen Kei frowned again, and Wen Jiu Mu smiled and said: "I'll go see the guest, you quickly settle down that little white feathered kid."

  Wen Kai nodded and Wen Jiu Mu walked towards the tea room.

  He pushed open the door and the person inside stood up. It was a man in his forties, but he looked much older, extremely thin, with beady eyes and a sly look on his face.

  That man laughed and said: "Ah, Ninth Master! I've finally met the Ninth Master! Let me think, it's been over 20 years since we last saw each other!"

  Wen Jiu Mu still had a smiling face, sat down and said: "Twenty-six years have passed. I don't know what brought Master Ma here today."

  That guy called Ma Ye smiled and said: "Not to deceive Ninth Master, there really is a tiny bit of something... it's like this."

  He rubbed his hands together, with a sly smile, and said: "To be honest with you, Ninth Master, I've been tight on cash lately and need to use some money. However, it's also hard to find work now. I don't have your business acumen, Ninth Master, so I couldn't be my own boss. That's why... I was thinking of going back to my old ways, doing one more job to alleviate my immediate financial difficulties."

  Wen Jiu Mu smiled and said: "I don't understand what Master Ma is saying."

  "Hey, Ninth Master, don't try to fool me. We were all brothers who fought side by side in the past. Now that you and Lui Master have made it big, do you think you can just abandon your brothers? How can that be? And besides!"

  He said with a glint in his eyes, "Besides, I've heard that Ninth Master has recently gotten something good and is going to check it out. Anyway, we're all going, what's the harm in adding me?"

  Wen Jiu Mu finally put away his smile, stood up and said coldly: "Master Ma must have misheard. We retired from this line of work over 20 years ago, our hands are rusty, how can we start again? I have something to do, so I won't see Master Ma off."

  He said that and turned his head to walk out of the teahouse. Ma Ye slammed the cup on the table, sneering: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me!"

  Wen Baiyu slept until nightfall and when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a bed. Looking around, she realized that she was in Jinhua's home.

  Although he hasn't come for many years, the decorations are still remembered.

  Wen Baiyu sat up, feeling a bit parched in her throat. Suddenly, she remembered that Jiuming was still in the box. She opened it and saw that the little black cat was sleeping soundly, surrounded by a pile of packing paper.

  Wen Baiyu saw that he was fine, so she simply ignored him and left the room to go to the water dispenser in the living room to get a drink.

  Wen Baiyu had just stepped out when the door beside him creaked open, and Wan Kuangjing walked out from inside, saying: "What's going on?"

  He rubbed the back of his head and said, "Nothing's wrong, I'm just thirsty. I'll have a glass of water."

  He walked to the water dispenser, started filling water, and Wan Qi Jing Hou also came over, standing beside him with a hint of smile in his eyes, making Wen Bai Yu's hair stand on end under the dark sky.

  Wen Baiyu rubbed her arm and said, "What are you looking at? You're staring at me like a fool."

  It's already midnight, all the servants are asleep, and the living room is pitch black and very quiet.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, causing Wen Bai Yu to jump in fright. She pushed him away, saying: "Shoo, shoo! I'm telling you, if my uncle sees this, it'll be a disaster!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "You don't even remember what you said at the airport?"

  Wen Baiyu saw him smile today and her heart skipped a beat. She wondered what earth-shattering words she had just said?

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Tell your uncle that I am your boyfriend."

  "Hmmph!"

  Wen Baiyu spat out a mouthful of water, staring with wide eyes: "No... it can't be? It definitely won't happen, or else I'd already be dead. My uncle must have killed me!"

  Wen Baiyu comforted herself, her face burning with shame. She really didn't want to see Wan Jingshou again, feeling like she had no face to show him. Was she really so bold and daring?

  Just as Wen Baiyu was about to return to her room, she heard a loud "crack" and was startled.

  "What sound?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Things are broken."

  Next came the sound of quarreling, Wen Baiyu vaguely heard it, seemingly Xiao Shu's voice. However, Xiao Shu had always been gentle and never spoke loudly to people, let alone quarrel.

  Wen Baiyu was suddenly curious, in this house there were only Big Uncle and Little Uncle, if Little Uncle had a fight, he must have fought with Big Uncle.

  Wen Baiyu immediately made a silencing gesture to Wan Kuangjing, then quietly slipped over. In Wen Jiuxiu's room, there was a light on, and the door wasn't closed all the way, leaving a gap.

  Wen Jiu Mu's voice was excited, saying: "I disagree! You can't even think about it."

  Wen Kai's voice was calm and said, "Xiao Jiu, don't be sulky."

  Wen Jiu Mu sneered and said: "In the past, I always listened to you, but this matter, I disagree. If you really dare to do it, we'll part ways, and I'll take Bai Yu with me."

  "Xiao Jiu!"

  Wen Ke seemed to have gotten angry, grabbing Wen Jiu Mu and saying: "Whether you agree with this matter or not, it has already been decided. You can't change it now, and... I have my own difficulties."

  Wen Jiu Mu stared at him with cold eyes and said, "What grievances? The famous Pian Ye also has grievances? What are your grievances that you can tell me? Is it money? Just for the sake of money! He was brought up by you! Can you poison his hand for the sake of money?"

  Wen Baiyu couldn't understand what the two of them were saying, but one thing was for sure, they were arguing extremely fiercely. There were shards of porcelain on the ground, those were the "treasures" that the two uncles had collected, all bought at a high price... and they were fake goods. They were actually smashed to pieces.

  Wen Kai said: "Xiao Jiu, don't be angry, anyone can misunderstand me, but you can't."

  Wen Jiu Mu smiled and said: "I didn't misunderstand you, I finally saw through you, you..."

  He stopped halfway through what he was saying, and then there was a loud "crash" sound, something else had fallen to the ground and shattered.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help it anymore, wanting to go in and mediate, but as soon as he took a step forward, he was pulled back by Wan Kuangjinghou, who covered his mouth with one hand, signaling him not to make a sound.

  Wen Baiyu just happened to be able to see through the gap in the door, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, what a shock...

  All that was seen were the broken porcelain pieces all over the floor, a red wooden carving of the Baoguang Pavilion had fallen to the ground. Wen Xuan pressed Wen Jiumu down on the table, his hands holding down Wen Jiumu's wrists, and lowering his head, said: "Jiimu, I'm begging you, don't get involved in this matter."

  Wen Jiu Mu turned his head away, not looking at him, and only said: "Master Piao, don't say that. When you talk like this, it only makes me feel that you're hypocritical and disgusting."

  Wen Kai's eyes narrowed, his hands clenched tightly, grasping Wen Jiumu's wrist, then lowered his head to fiercely kiss Wen Jiumu's lips.

  "Hmm..."

  Wen Jiu Mu suddenly struggled up, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and was about to kick him with his leg.

  Wen Kai moved quickly, grasping his hand and flipping Wen Jiu Mu over, making him lie on the table.

  "You!"

  Wen Jiu Mu let out a loud shout, feeling the man tear off his pants, followed by intense pain. His lips trembled as he clenched his teeth...

  Wen Baiyu was stunned, and Wan Jingshou covered his mouth, quietly taking him away.

  Back in her room, Wen Baiyu dared to take a deep breath, never expecting that her two uncles were actually in this kind of relationship?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at his dazed expression and said, "Go to bed early."

  Wen Baiyu coughed awkwardly and said, "Oh, you go to sleep too."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou turned around and was about to leave, his hand on the door handle, when he stopped and said: "You mentioned your uncle earlier, saying that they all collected fake antiques."

  Wen Baiyu didn't know what he meant by suddenly saying this, so she just nodded.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "All the antiques in that house just now are real, including those smashed on the ground."

  Wen Baiyu was even more shocked, really?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "You be careful of your two uncles."

  He finished speaking and went out with the door.
