Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 134 The Night of Naraku
As part of the previous transaction, Ye Chongsheng was a humanoid weapon created by a strange and evil creature at Dengyou Pawnshop. At this moment, his consciousness had not yet awakened, but looking at the long-haired youth shrouded in water bubbles, Li Xuanxiao knew that this was the purpose of his previous transaction with Ye Chongsheng.

In exchange for a trivial bonus obtained from Deng Jiuwu, a promising humanoid weapon would be a deal that any pawnshop would take.

"Since the shopkeeper is satisfied with this item, then our transaction is considered complete." Ye Chongsheng hadn't expected Li Xuanxiao to be so agreeable. The humanoid weapon he was currently using was forged from his molted body. Although it was already extraordinary, he still hadn't fully refined the three wondrous items, and the time for forging and nurturing it was quite limited. If he had more time, the creation would undoubtedly become even more powerful. However, since Li Xuanxiao had already accepted, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Thank you for your trouble, Chief Evil." Li Xuanxiao nodded.

"Everything is a transaction. I believe that activating this weapon will not be difficult for you, Manager. I will take my leave now."

"please."

After Ye Chongsheng left, Li Xuanxiao turned his gaze back to the creation that was still shrouded in water bubbles. Then, the pawnshop owner flicked his finger, and the culture fluid that had been covering the humanoid creation instantly dissipated and collapsed. The person landed straight down, but did not fall. Instead, he stood there steadily. Then, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened. The life form created by the evil creation, which was also the strongest weapon that Ye Chongsheng could currently forge, was now awakening for the first time.

"Where am I? And who are you?" The Creator looked around at the completely unfamiliar surroundings, then turned its head to Li Xuanxiao. "Did you create me? Why can I only see darkness?"

"Don't rush." ​​Li Xuanxiao raised his hand, and a starry illusion appeared above the pawnshop. Under Li Xuanxiao's guidance, it slowly merged into the eyes of the Creator, and the originally dim eyes gradually regained their luster.

"Ah?" With his eyes bright and his vision clear, the Creator looked straight ahead and saw a white robe come into view, with the flickering candlelight casting a long shadow.

"you are?"

“I am your master. Here, you can also call me the manager.” Li Xuanxiao answered the questions posed by the Creator one by one: “I am not your creator, but I am your owner. The one who created you gave me ownership of you from the beginning, but you can also consider me as the one who was born with you.”

"Ownership?" A hint of doubt flashed in the Creator's eyes. "What is ownership?"

"This is an extremely complex concept, and you will need a long time to learn it. As for your last question, who are you?"

"who I am?"

“Everyone is born with a name, but your name, your name is—” Li Xuanxiao pointed to the creation before him, “Naraku Night · Night.”

"Xiao?" Xiao murmured, repeating the unfamiliar name. Was this going to be her name from now on? Xiao...

"I have a name?" A glint of light flashed in Xiao's eyes. "I have a name."

"From today onwards, this will be your home." Before anyone knew it, Li Xuanxiao had stepped down from his seat and walked to Xiao's side, gently patting the latter's shoulder. "Xiao."

"Home……"

Xiao's eyes still held confusion. As an artificial being, his understanding of the world was like that of a newborn infant, equally uncertain about the meaning of home. But when the word was uttered, Xiao felt a strange warmth.

Is this home?

……

……

While Li Xuanxiao was traveling through the Four Realms, the flames of war in the Central Plains continued to rage. The righteous path sought clues about the primeval forest of the Vast Sea and visited Qin Juexian, who had now retired to Xinjufeng. Although Qin Juexian's understanding of the primeval forest of the Vast Sea was not as good as that of the Drum Master, he had lived in the primeval forest for a period of time and had some knowledge of the terrain and characteristics of the primeval forest from the Drum Master. After obtaining information, Jianzi Xianji, Mu Shaoai, Tan Wuyu, Ye Xiaochai, along with the high monks of the Holy Domain and several people from Xuanzong, explored the primeval forest of the Vast Sea.

However, the Otherworld was well-prepared. The three guardian generals, along with countless demon soldiers and vengeful spirits, used the unique terrain of the primeval forest to ambush and kill them. After a great battle, both sides suffered losses, but it also meant that the righteous path's plan to launch a strong attack on the Otherworld before the Demon Lord's resurrection had failed. Next, they would face the Otherworld's offensive personally led by the Demon Lord Hanba, who was feared by the Holy Domain.

Fortunately, through Qin Jiaxian's investigation, the whereabouts of the legendary cultivator Ping Shan Lian Emei, who once assisted the Holy Domain and Xuanzong in resisting the Otherworldly Demon Realm, were finally revealed. The clues pointed directly to Jin Bazhen, the master of Xiao Penglai. However, just as Qin Jiaxian uncovered the clues, the news also reached the Otherworldly Demon Realm. Compared to the righteous path, the Otherworldly Demon Realm acted more swiftly and decisively. Shesheng Tongzi personally attacked Xiao Penglai, and Jin Bazhen's daughter and son-in-law were killed by assassins from the Otherworldly Demon Realm. If it weren't for Meng's rescue, Jin Bazhen would also have died under Shesheng Tongzi's attack.

However, this incident also made Jin Bazhen, whose stance was originally wavering, completely determined to fight against the Otherworld.

"So, the whereabouts of the Cloud Man still haven't been found?"

In the Otherworld, the Demon Heart returned, and the sleeping Demon Body slowly recovered its life force. Facing the inquiry from Yama Hanba, Guizhi bowed and replied, "It is now confirmed that the Seven-Colored Cloud Rainbow, which can contact Lian Emei, is in the hands of Jin Bazhen. However, for some reason, Xiao Penglai encountered strange events earlier, and his son and daughter were attacked and killed by the Demon Realm. He still refused to use this item. Now that Jin Bazhen has joined forces with the righteous path, it will not be easy for him to seize the Seven-Colored Cloud Rainbow."

"Hmph, so that's all? Is this the result?" Yama Hanba sneered. "At all costs, find the Seven-Colored Cloud Rainbow. I will fight Lian Emei and avenge this humiliation!"

"Demon Lord, calm down." At this moment, Jiu Huo's voice came from the depths of the Demon Palace, "The Demon Realm's fault line has not yet been repaired, and the Ghost Clan's troops cannot reunite. Why not prioritize the overall situation of the Demon Realm?"

"Lian Emei is also a major enemy of the Demon Realm. If it exists, the Otherworld Demon Realm will have to guard against its attacks if it wants to make any big moves. It would be better to eliminate it first, sweep away the righteous forces, and then plan for internal matters of the Demon Realm."

"I'm afraid the righteous path, seeing our desire for war, will devise another plan," Jiu Huo said worriedly.

"Hmph, under absolute power, all schemes and tricks are nothing but castles in the air, not worth a second glance. Whether it's the Holy Domain or the Righteous Path, once I am resurrected, they will all be nothing but chickens and dogs, worthless bastards."

Seeing that Yama Hanba was so insistent, Jiu Huo sighed inwardly and had no choice but to say, "Besides the righteous path, the holy domain, the Xuanzong sect, and the Yiliu sect, there is another force, Youjian Pawnshop. You should not underestimate it, Demon Lord."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, none of these people who oppose the Otherworld will escape!"
