It stopped snowing.
Chang Qian was heating up the morning medicine, when he turned around, he saw Ah-Chu holding his androgenous face, looking at the two great devils outside for a long time.
He reached out and waved his hand in front of Ah-Chu’s face, then waved again. It wasn’t until the third time, Ah-Chu finally reacted and turned to look at him.
“What’s up with you?” Chang Qian put the bowl of medicine on the side to cool down, and then sat down to look out from the angle that Ah-Chu was looking out from and said, “I can’t see anything special, are you into devils?”
Ah-Chu shook his head, he said in a complicated mood: “Yesterday, that devil in red came to borrow a load of books from gege.”
“What books?” Chang Qian took a sip of tea.
“《The overbearing Devil Lord fell in love with me》, 《The Devil Lord’s forceful love for me》, 《The Devil Lord’s pampered wife ran away pregnant》……”
Chang Qian suddenly choked, and almost spat out the mouthful of tea in his mouth. He really couldn’t understand these adult’s tastes. Shenxian gege liked to read to pass the time, but why do these devils who were born ruthless and scary also like to read these kinds of common fiction books!
Just as the little snake was shaken by his own thoughts, he heard the little deer beside him say quietly: “And those two have been sitting there all morning studying those books, and even taking notes.”
Chang Qian: “…..”
“The more I look at them, the more I feel,” Ah-Chu continued with difficulty, “that there is a massive issue with the education system in the Devil Realm….”
These two little demons unconsciously became concerned for the country of people of another realm, after that Ah-Chu picked up the cooled bowl of medicine and took it up to the second floor of the little pine house.
The second floor had a little candle lit, even though it was the light of day it was still lit. Jiang Zheliu was sitting in the corner reading a book, he was wearing a white thin robe, with a silky daoist robe on top, the pankou knots had not been fastened very well.
The hand that was holding the book was slender and beautiful, the strands of hair that fell by his ears were glossy and sleek as frost. Sitting there quietly, he was so beautiful that it would have made anyone happy and be completely besotted with him.
Ah-Chu let out another sigh, and thought that the protagonist will always be the protagonist, his destructive force was just too strong. He slowly moved closer but the scent of the Heavenly Spirit Body made him unable to sit or stand still out of nervousness. He swallowed his saliva, settled his mind, and then plopped down beside Jiang Zheliu, and passed him the bitter bowl of medicine.
Jiang Zheliu finally came back to his senses, he put down the book and took the medicine bowl from Ah-Chu: “Thank you.”
Ah-Chu’s face started to burn, he felt that Jiang Zheliu’s weird physique was making him become more and more capricious, he couldn’t resist saying: “Zheliu gege, Why do I feel like… you are getting more and more fragrant…..”
Jiang Zheliu couldn’t smell this scent, he had studied the physique with a focused and serious attitude in the secret book that Yu Jinnian had given him. There was no change in his emotions, he glanced down at himself and asked, “What kind of smell is it?”
“Well….. It makes me want to throw you down. It’s like….. Like a….”.
Ah-Chu swallowed down the words “a walking human-shaped aphrodisiac”, in his mind he went through ABO, Sentinel-guide, Therianthrop and all other kinds of weird plotlines and tropes, but did not find one similar to this one……. However, when he read this book it was a no-CP novel with sadistic plot, even though it was a HE. The content was completely sadistic, but because the protagonist had terrible health from the beginning, it didn’t have any plotlines that wasn’t allowed by JJWXC.
Ah-Chu had been there for so long, and had discovered that everything here was completely different from what he had read, a lot of the plot he had not read before, so he didn’t know whether this special physique was good or bad. He pondered for a long whilst holding up his head with a hand under his chin, and then hesitantly said: “Gege, those two times that you had a fever, it seems the gap between the two times became shorter…..”
The hand that Jiang Zheliu was holding his medicine with stopped in its tracks.
“Was it?”
“It seems that it was.” The more Ah-Chu thought about it the more he thought that the plot was quite uncensored, “This may be because… it longs to reproduce….”
Jiang Zheliu had his cultivation to suppress it before, so he hadn’t had any problems for more than a thousand years. It had only gradually become more and more serious after his retirement, but at present, there were no other side effects besides fever and sleepiness. There were not many books of this kind, and Jiang Zheliu had no way to verify what would happen in the future.
It was just that none of the ancient texts had warned about it so in theory there shouldn’t be any major issues.
Jiang Zheliu drank his medicine whilst deep in thought, when he heard Ah-Chu ask: “How come I haven’t seen Devil Lord Wenren around?”
He went to get Xiao Yu,” Jiang Zheliu said, “Xiao Yu wrote me a letter, and told me he was going to bring a patient here.”
Ah-Chu was astonished: “I thought the Divine Sage of Medicine never consulted outside? And he even wants to bring another patient on the road along with him.”
At this moment, the bamboo curtain outside was tapped once and then lifted up.
Yu Jinnian walked in leading a young man in pale blue robes with one hand, he turned his head to look at the two devils outside the door whilst pulling up the bamboo curtain, and said with surprise: “What is this, is Zhongnan Mountain opening up for scenery tours?”
Shi Binghen who was outside was hugging his own elbows, he poked at Yan Chuzi who was beside him still taking notes, with a curious face he asked: “How come he can enter the house?”
“He’s the physician.” The future teacher, Yan Chuzi didn’t even look up.
The two fierce pair of devils listened in from the outside of the wall everyday. They were exactly like a pair of Threshold Guardians. Ever since they came to Zhongnan Mountain with the Devil Lord to learn how to take what you want by all means possible, the mountain spirits and wild demons here all sighed helplessly. Those little demons were even reluctant to show off in front of Jiang Xianzun and therefore had lost their chance at being adopted.
Especially when they were half-transformed into their devil forms, it was like Jiang Xianzun had taken in two devil hounds. All devils were incredibly thick-skinned, one more ferocious than the other. Every night the two of them would diligently listen in at the corner of the house, Yan Chuzhi could even be heard reciting everyday: “I don’t want to be alone anymore, I don’t want to be alone anymore……”
Shi Binghen watched with wide eyes as the other’s standards went from a beautiful and sexy female devil to just a female devil and then fell again to just any devil would do. Recently, it had even dropped to as long as the other person was alive that’ll do it, there was no longer any baseline.
Although it was the first time that Yu Jinnian had come to the little pinehouse, he was not completely surprised either. He sized up the entire place, noticing that it was completely in the style of the Devil Realm, and admired the Devil Lord’s ability to create a warm nest, until finally finding the most important place in that nest on the second floor.
He pulled the little mute with him to take a seat.
Wenren Ye was outside talking to those two devils, but it was not clear what they were discussing. Yu Jinnian took advantage of this opportunity, leaned over and whispered: “That secret dual cultivation manual, have you two tried it yet?”
Hearing the two words ‘dual cultivation’, Ah-Chu’s eyes immediately opened as wide as a copper bell.
Jiang Zheliu sighed lightly and said: “Looking at my condition, does it look like we’ve tried?”
The two of them didn’t bother to hide things from the others, on the side there was Wang Moxuan who was dumb so even if he heard it wasn’t a big deal and on the other, it was Ah-Chu who was probably too young to even understand.
Yu Jinnian clicked his tongue, and then reached out to measure his pulse: “The entire Cultivation World has heard of Zhu Wuxin’s death, you even took the Ling Xiao Sword away with you, what is it? Are you looking to come out of retirement?”
“No, I’d like to live a little longer.”
“At least Jiang Qianbei is self-aware.” Yu Jinnian continued to carefully examine his pulse, and then sent a thread of spiritual energy into his wrist to do a more thorough examination. His face showed more and more curiosity, he pondered for a moment then said: “You….”
Jiang Zheliu prepared himself mentally, and calmly asked: “What is it?”
Yu Jinnian turned around and swept a glance at the door, and saw that Wenren Ye was coming in, he suppressed the words that had come to his lips back down: “It’s still okay.”
“If you didn’t have the resurrection stone, your soul would have already returned to Heaven and Earth, entirely dissipating.” Yu Jinnian pulled out a pen from his storage device, retracted his spiritual energy and then began to write a new prescription on a piece of paper, “There’s no other way, but to keep taking care of you, the better taken care of you are, the longer you will live. If Wenren Ye can look after you until you are not the least bit fussy anymore, then perhaps you’ll be able to live for a long time.”
Jiang Zheliu noticed a difference in his speech, he knew that there was something that he couldn’t say in front of Wenren Ye, so he asked: “As long as a hundred years?”
“A hundred years……” To a cultivator, a hundred years went by in a mere snap of the fingers. Yu Jinnian looked over at him with the pen in his hand: “It would be with some difficulty.”
Jiang Zheliu was not disappointed, it was within what he had expected. But he noticed that Wenren Ye’s footsteps had paused, and then resumed as normal.
“Looks like I’m destined to waste more of your time.”
Jiang Zheliu was directing this sentence at the little devil, his tone was gentle and calm.
Wenren Ye arrived by his side, he didn’t reply to what he said, but instead looked at the remaining half a bowl of medicine on the table, he leaned over and said: “Is it bitter?”
“Eh?…… Ummmm….”
Here again came the unexpected feeding method. Jiang Zheliu had an extremely sugary candied fruit stuffed into his mouth, he chewed it extremely slowly and then took another sip of tea and said: “If you are like this…..”
The little devil was wagging his invisible tail waiting to be praised like a joyful little wolfdog.
“…… the remaining half of the bowl, I’m really unable to drink it.”
Wenren Ye: “……”
He was silent for a while, so angry that he was grinding his teeth. Then he leaned in and kissed him fiercely. The energy was quite frightening, he commented in a villainous tone: “You’ve become too used to being spoiled.”
” Yu Jinnian was sitting on the side and watching with keen interest. He quickly covered the eyes of the little mute with his hand, and said in a low voice, “Don’t look, in a moment there will be an indecent assault.”
Wang Moxuan raised his hand, and slowly wrote on Yu Jinnian’s hand: “Great devil?”
Yu Jinnian’s mouth raised into a smile, and he leaned close to the little mute’s ear: “Get used to it.”
————
There was a bamboo courtyard next to the small pine building, which was built by Wenren Ye when he first arrived, so this was put to use by Yu Jinnian and Wang Moxuan to live in.
Because of Jiang Zheliu’s health, Yu Jinnian remained in the small pinehouse most of the time. He sat on the side, watching the little mute respectfully playing Go with Jiang Qianbei, the two of them were playing silently, back and forth, criss-crossing around the board, but it was so silent that there was not even a single sound, except for the crisp sound of the game pieces being placed on the board.
Wang Moxuan couldn’t speak, Jiang Zheliu was cold and reticent, even if they were having a spectacular game, Yu Jinnian didn’t have the culture to understand and he was actually getting a bit bored.
He was the unorthodox cultivator, watching these two righteous cultivators coming out of one of the Four Great Immortal Sects to play go Aside from the beautiful sight in front of him that was worth bothering about, Yu Jinnian really didn’t know what was going on, and in the end he couldn’t resist opening his chatterbox mouth: “Was it really you that killed Zhu Wuxin?”
It was truly infuriating, poking at the sore spot that shouldn’t be provoked.
The fingertips that were holding the go stone paused for a moment, before Jiang Zheliu replied quietly: ‘En.”
“Decisive beyond my expectations.” Yu Jinnian said, “When Wang Wenyuan was negotiating with me, talking about the death of Zhu Wuxin, he seemed to receive the news a lot quicker than others, he must have secretly been spying on Ling Xiao Sect.”
Given Wang Wenyuan’s ultimate goal, it was not surprising that he was watching the Ling Xiao Sect.
Jiang Zheliu gently turned the go piece between his fingers, and suddenly thought that with age and experience of Zhu Wuxin, it was actually very difficult for him to be able to find a way to enter the bottom of the River of the Dead and be able to wake up He Sorshi.
Wang Wenyuan might have played a role in it. When all the sects came to pay respects to him that day in Dan Xin Monastery, neither of them had come.
He was distracted, and his game was not as steady as before, so he was blocked by the youth sitting opposite him, and had lost three white stones in the process.
“That person is cunning and treacherous, brute force will not work.” Yu Jinnian stared at the go board, pretending to understand even though he didn’t understand, “Not to mention that he has a Locking Sound Curse in his hands, I have to think of another way…”
“He has already achieved his goal.” Jiang Zheliu said, “My shidi is dead, Ling Xiao Sect……”
“Don’t worry about this.” Yu Jinnian frowned, “You can’t think too much when you are in this situation, your mind is worn out, and you’re wearing out your body. When it comes to this, I want to ask you—”
His words paused here, he glanced outside to check that there was no one around, and then he heard Jiang Zheliu’s voice.
“The little devil has gone back with the two devils, as a ruler of a realm, how could he just continue to watch over this wild place, Jiang Zheliu took a sip of tea, “What exactly do you want to say that can’t be heard by others?”
As soon as Yu Jinnian heard that Wenren Ye was not about, he laughed cheekily, he looked at him up and down and then said: “It’s not a big deal, it’s just that you don’t have any cultivation to suppress your physique, left neglected for so long, you’re about to die from thirst.”
Jiang Zheliu almost spit out his tea and then he coughed twice, he gripped the teacup firmly, that his fingertips were slightly reddened.
The little mute opposite him also froze, his gaze was focused on looking at the go board, pretending he hadn’t heard a thing.
“I don’t think that’s right, even if it is the Heavenly Spirit Body, it can’t possibly make someone crazy to that extent.”
Yu Jinnian sniffed the faint scent floating in the air, and felt that the surrounding air was quite sweet. This scent could not really fully stimulate the senses, but was actually a false scent that was detected by one’s soul, so the degree of sweetness should be different from person to person.
“I didn’t notice it until I examined your pulse again.” Yu Jinnian reached out to grab his chin, “The Resurrection Stone is full of vitality, prompting your physique. And your physique is not suppressed by cultivation any longer, and now… it will be harder and harder to hold back.”
Jiang Zheliu’s fingertips rubbed the teacup, and his ink black eyes looked at the go board in front of him calmly. It wasn’t obvious what he was thinking in his head. After a long while, he slowly asked, “That resurrection stone……”
“Don’t even think about trying to take it off.” Yu Jinnian cut off his train of thought immediately, “You know in your heart what your body is reliant on right now. Don’t take that thing off, unless you have a death wish, or in half a month you will die.”
What had happened in the depths of the Netherworld had already spread across all the realms, Yu Jinnian could guess that Wenren Ye had expended great effort in finding him. Plus, for Jiang Zheliu to take Zhu Wuxin’s life, his shidi must have done a truly disgraceful thing.
Jiang Zheliu let out a little sigh.
On the go board, black and white stones were interlaced, like twin dragons bound together. At this point, it was actually a deadlock.
“The Heavenly Spirit Body is not a cultivation furnace, because everything it does is for you.” Yu Jinnian had looked intensively through his stack of erotic books, although he didn’t know a lot of this physique, he wouldn’t make things up either. “Except that your body…….”
The deadlock was here. Even if both of them were willing, Jiang Zheliu’s physical condition was a big problem, not to mention that he had not yet asked for the little devil’s consent.
Two people who talked the least watched the game in silence, one was able to take a few more stones after making several moves, whilst the other was watching his opponent bide his time. It’s just that Jiang Zheliu was distracted thinking about this problem, and he couldn’t keep up with the game.
“If I didn’t do anything about it, what would happen?”
Yu Jinnian exhausted his life’s medical experience and his experience learnt from reading erotic literature. He rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, and then said: “Maybe things will reach their peak soon.”
Jiang Zheliu glanced over at him, his aura was like ice as he stared at him: “Explain.”
“Well…… I am not able to predict the full details. Yu Jinnian was frozen by his icy stare and instantly felt more awake and immediately explained, “But the scent on your body may start to diffuse even more widely and intensely, the entire mountain’s little demons will be able to smell it.”
“…… That’s not that bad.”
“It isn’t that bad.” Yu Jinnian nodded half-heartedly, “At best, it’ll be like catnip thrown into a clowder of cats, to be incessantly chased after by the demons, or perhaps taken a bite out of, that’s all.”
Jiang Zheliu: “…….”
“As for Wenren Ye.” The Divine Sage of Medicine said with good intentions, trying to relieve the other’s worries, “The copulation of devils is also very….. I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold himself back, how about, you, you get him to castrate himself?”
It stopped snowing.
Chang Qian was heating up the morning medicine, when he turned around, he saw Ah-Chu holding his androgenous face, looking at the two great devils outside for a long time.
He reached out and waved his hand in front of Ah-Chu’s face, then waved again. It wasn’t until the third time, Ah-Chu finally reacted and turned to look at him.
“What’s up with you?” Chang Qian put the bowl of medicine on the side to cool down, and then sat down to look out from the angle that Ah-Chu was looking out from and said, “I can’t see anything special, are you into devils?”
Ah-Chu shook his head, he said in a complicated mood: “Yesterday, that devil in red came to borrow a load of books from gege.”
“What books?” Chang Qian took a sip of tea.
“《The overbearing Devil Lord fell in love with me》, 《The Devil Lord’s forceful love for me》, 《The Devil Lord’s pampered wife ran away pregnant》……”
Chang Qian suddenly choked, and almost spat out the mouthful of tea in his mouth. He really couldn’t understand these adult’s tastes. Shenxian gege liked to read to pass the time, but why do these devils who were born ruthless and scary also like to read these kinds of common fiction books!
Just as the little snake was shaken by his own thoughts, he heard the little deer beside him say quietly: “And those two have been sitting there all morning studying those books, and even taking notes.”

“The more I look at them, the more I feel,” Ah-Chu continued with difficulty, “that there is a massive issue with the education system in the Devil Realm….”
These two little demons unconsciously became concerned for the country of people of another realm, after that Ah-Chu picked up the cooled bowl of medicine and took it up to the second floor of the little pine house.
The second floor had a little candle lit, even though it was the light of day it was still lit. Jiang Zheliu was sitting in the corner reading a book, he was wearing a white thin robe, with a silky daoist robe on top, the pankou knots had not been fastened very well.
The hand that was holding the book was slender and beautiful, the strands of hair that fell by his ears were glossy and sleek as frost. Sitting there quietly, he was so beautiful that it would have made anyone happy and be completely besotted with him.
Ah-Chu let out another sigh, and thought that the protagonist will always be the protagonist, his destructive force was just too strong. He slowly moved closer but the scent of the Heavenly Spirit Body made him unable to sit or stand still out of nervousness. He swallowed his saliva, settled his mind, and then plopped down beside Jiang Zheliu, and passed him the bitter bowl of medicine.
Jiang Zheliu finally came back to his senses, he put down the book and took the medicine bowl from Ah-Chu: “Thank you.”
Ah-Chu’s face started to burn, he felt that Jiang Zheliu’s weird physique was making him become more and more capricious, he couldn’t resist saying: “Zheliu gege, Why do I feel like… you are getting more and more fragrant…..”
Jiang Zheliu couldn’t smell this scent, he had studied the physique with a focused and serious attitude in the secret book that Yu Jinnian had given him. There was no change in his emotions, he glanced down at himself and asked, “What kind of smell is it?”
“Well….. It makes me want to throw you down. It’s like….. Like a….”.
Ah-Chu swallowed down the words “a walking human-shaped aphrodisiac”, in his mind he went through ABO, Sentinel-guide, Therianthrop and all other kinds of weird plotlines and tropes, but did not find one similar to this one……. However, when he read this book it was a no-CP novel with sadistic plot, even though it was a HE. The content was completely sadistic, but because the protagonist had terrible health from the beginning, it didn’t have any plotlines that wasn’t allowed by JJWXC.

The hand that Jiang Zheliu was holding his medicine with stopped in its tracks.
“Was it?”
“It seems that it was.” The more Ah-Chu thought about it the more he thought that the plot was quite uncensored, “This may be because… it longs to reproduce….”
Jiang Zheliu had his cultivation to suppress it before, so he hadn’t had any problems for more than a thousand years. It had only gradually become more and more serious after his retirement, but at present, there were no other side effects besides fever and sleepiness.

Jiang Zheliu almost spit out his tea and then he coughed twice, he gripped the teacup firmly, that his fingertips were slightly reddened.
The little mute opposite him also froze, his gaze was focused on looking at the go board, pretending he hadn’t heard a thing.
“I don’t think that’s right, even if it is the Heavenly Spirit Body, it can’t possibly make someone crazy to that extent.”
Yu Jinnian sniffed the faint scent floating in the air, and felt that the surrounding air was quite sweet. This scent could not really fully stimulate the senses, but was actually a false scent that was detected by one’s soul, so the degree of sweetness should be different from person to person.
“I didn’t notice it until I examined your pulse again.” Yu Jinnian reached out to grab his chin, “The Resurrection Stone is full of vitality, prompting your physique. And your physique is not suppressed by cultivation any longer, and now… it will be harder and harder to hold back.”
Jiang Zheliu’s fingertips rubbed the teacup, and his ink black eyes looked at the go board in front of him calmly. It wasn’t obvious what he was thinking in his head. After a long while, he slowly asked, “That resurrection stone……”
“Don’t even think about trying to take it off.” Yu Jinnian cut off his train of thought immediately, “You know in your heart what your body is reliant on right now. Don’t take that thing off, unless you have a death wish, or in half a month you will die.”
What had happened in the depths of the Netherworld had already spread across all the realms, Yu Jinnian could guess that Wenren Ye had expended great effort in finding him. Plus, for Jiang Zheliu to take Zhu Wuxin’s life, his shidi must have done a truly disgraceful thing.
Jiang Zheliu let out a little sigh.
On the go board, black and white stones were interlaced, like twin dragons bound together. At this point, it was actually a deadlock.
“The Heavenly Spirit Body is not a cultivation furnace, because everything it does is for you.” Yu Jinnian had looked intensively through his stack of erotic books, although he didn’t know a lot of this physique, he wouldn’t make things up either. “Except that your body…….”
The deadlock was here. Even if both of them were willing, Jiang Zheliu’s physical condition was a big problem, not to mention that he had not yet asked for the little devil’s consent.
Two people who talked the least watched the game in silence, one was able to take a few more stones after making several moves, whilst the other was watching his opponent bide his time. It’s just that Jiang Zheliu was distracted thinking about this problem, and he couldn’t keep up with the game.
“If I didn’t do anything about it, what would happen?”
Yu Jinnian exhausted his life’s medical experience and his experience learnt from reading erotic literature. He rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, and then said: “Maybe things will reach their peak soon.”
Jiang Zheliu glanced over at him, his aura was like ice as he stared at him: “Explain.”
“Well…… I am not able to predict the full details. Yu Jinnian was frozen by his icy stare and instantly felt more awake and immediately explained, “But the scent on your body may start to diffuse even more widely and intensely, the entire mountain’s little demons will be able to smell it.”
“…… That’s not that bad.”
“It isn’t that bad.” Yu Jinnian nodded half-heartedly, “At best, it’ll be like catnip thrown into a clowder of cats, to be incessantly chased after by the demons, or perhaps taken a bite out of, that’s all.”
Jiang Zheliu: “…….”
“As for Wenren Ye.” The Divine Sage of Medicine said with good intentions, trying to relieve the other’s worries, “The copulation of devils is also very….. I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold himself back, how about, you, you get him to castrate himself?”
