1551 Explanation

.The little ghost clerk shook his head vigorously: "This isn't a malevolent spirit! It's a ghost clerk who escaped punishment for wrongdoing, or one of our old seniors. We don't have the ability to de...The charred backyard was a mess, but it was noticeably neater than the day of the fight.

Now the world is filled with negativity, and Yin Su Bai finds himself trapped in a precarious situation. He even inadvertently brings along Chong Mo, who tends to cause trouble.

I never expected him to send someone to tidy up the yard... This kind of "small thing" could actually be left undone.

"...It is rumored that he is a very serious and severe deity," Jiang Qiyun looked at the scene before him, couldn't help but frown.

A solemn and severe deity

This giant, fluffy, plump bamboo rat! Is tilling the backyard, laying bricks!

This doesn't match up with being serious and strict at all!

These are really bamboo rats! They're twice the size of ordinary bamboo rats, looking like chubby little pigs. And they're all very clever, able to stand on their hind legs, using their front paws to dig bricks and hold wood...

I rubbed my eyes, as if watching a 3D Max animal world.

"Where on earth did these things come from… they're not even afraid of being eaten…" I stared dumbfounded at the yard full of adorable creatures.

"It's good they don't eat people, look at their claws." Jiang Qiyun reminded.

Some tree rats use their two front paws to insert directly into burnt wood, looking just like they are effortlessly cutting tofu.

We were talking at the entrance to the courtyard, which drew the attention of these little imps. One of them, presumably the leader, stood up straight and warily eyed me.

Those twinkling eyes looked at me, and unexpectedly met mine.

“Um, hello…” I stammered.

Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and pinched my face: "What are you talking to these lowly demons about"

"Ouch...ouch...ouch..." I quickly dodged his hand and whispered, "Then just leave all this stuff here"

"There's a barrier here, these little things should be coming from spatial cracks to work, their demonic energy is very light and won't affect the aura." Jiang Qiyun glanced at the whole courtyard, there were quite a few working bamboo rats.

He nodded in satisfaction: "It just so happens that the Plague Bearer is about to descend upon the world. With you lot sequestered in mountain retreats, you wouldn't be able to find anyone to repair it anyway. Having these ready-made laborers isn't a bad thing, is it Just have the Shen family disciples move out of this courtyard and let them clean up."

"Fine..." I felt a little guilty. Some of the disciples in the Shen family were underage, and even using them for small tasks usually made me feel like I was exploiting child labor. Now I was even making animals work for me...

Squeak—

That leader bamboo rat actually called out to me twice, standing on its hind legs. Its plump body looked like a small pagoda "dumped" on the ground, and its two paws stretched forward, bowing to me.

I'm done for, I was struck by the cuteness in this instant.

Although I know these are low-level demons from the demon realm, I can't help but find them adorable with their appearance, and they even helped me tidy up my yard.

"What do they eat" I couldn't help but turn my head to ask Jiang Qiyun, such cute things, I should find some food to feed them.

Jiang Qiyun's face was full of black lines, he reached out and grabbed the back of my collar, dragging me away: "You eat meat, raw meat, even go crazy saying you might eat human flesh! Get away from these things! Even the lowest demons are still demons."

Yes, yes, yes... I reluctantly glanced back at the yard one last time. The leader bamboo rat was still bowing to me.

At midnight, I was awakened by a scream. When I opened my eyes, Jiang Qiyun was listening intently to the noises outside.

"Another demon god has come to seek revenge!" I hurriedly pulled on my clothes and jumped up.

Jiang Qiyun shook his head: "There's no change in aura."

As soon as I got dressed, I heard a disciple whispering from outside the door: "Master, that old Yan has escaped."

"Escape Did anyone go after them It's not safe out there now—" I asked urgently.

He fled toward the back mountains, because you only issued an order today forbidding anyone from going to the back mountain annex. The senior brothers chasing him didn't dare go in, so I came to report to you.

"Who was yelling just now Such a loud scream." I asked, pulling open the door.

"Lao Yan, maybe he fell while trying to climb over the wall."

An old gambler like Lao Yan, how could he make such a pathetic cry after just a fall.

I rushed to the backyard, and Jiang Qiyun said unhappily, “Don’t go in.”

"...Then what should we do Should we send disciples in I'd rather go myself!"

Jiang Qiyun let out a cold snort: “Isn’t there someone readily available for you to command”

Who You

I hesitated for a moment, just about to say that I wanted you to check it out, when Jiang Qiyun vanished.

I was dumbfounded. Who was I supposed to ask then

Anyway, let's go take a look.

Old Yan seemed to have decided that I was the culprit responsible for his family's ruin. In the dead of night, he slipped out of his confinement room while the guards were asleep.

It wasn't a prison cell originally. The room he lived in was a simple guardhouse prepared for disciples who had inadvertently been tainted by sinister energies. The latch on the outer door was very easy to pick.

Elder Yan probably thought that running forward would encounter heavy guards, so he climbed over the broken wall and ran to a dilapidated back mountain courtyard.

I rushed to the bottom of the collapsed wall, and the sight within terrified me — in the darkness, there were pinpricks of crimson red, the eyes of the “giant rats” that came to clean the courtyard!

Suddenly, Jiang Qiyun's words flashed in her mind: "Even the lowest demons are still demons."

Old Yan shouldn't be eaten, right!

Those crimson eyes in the courtyard, radiated a violent aura, staring menacingly at this side of the wall.

"Fall back!" I hastily commanded the few Shen family disciples who were chasing after them, lest these little demons think we are their enemies.

"Well, that's a heavy scent of blood." Ji suddenly appeared behind me, sword in hand.

I was taken aback for a moment, and before I could even speak, he pushed me aside with the hilt of his sword.

"Make way, I'm going to take a look," he excitedly leaped over the wall.

I stumbled back two steps and was caught by Jiang Qiyun. He reminded me in a flat tone, "With someone like this at home who thrives on chaos, why do you insist on doing everything yourself"ng qi and life force at worst. So what would be the consequences for Lily, merging with a corpse wearing human skinAfter my first night with Jiang Qiyun, I had a high fever and fell seriously ill. I d...
