Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

Feeling weak, lethargic, dark circles under the eyes, pale skin, and abnormally rapid and intensely itchy nails...

Isn't this a sign that I'm about to turn into a zombie?!

Is the beginning of the original story about to start?

Li Yu sipped the sweet juice, thinking to himself.

As for why Master Ren told Li Yu about this, that's quite simple.

Master Ren's business has undoubtedly developed to this extent thanks to those paper soldiers.

As for Commander Long, he was, after all, a warlord who controlled the entire Ganjiang River region.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had connections to the highest levels of society, and he naturally knew some of the secrets behind it all.

Upon seeing those paper soldiers, more terrifying than ghosts and monsters, anyone with a brain injury could guess what was going on.

The Ren family has really found a powerful backer!

Commander Long, who had a close working relationship with the Ren family, naturally wanted to ask the expert behind the family, Li Yu, to take a look after he contracted a strange illness.

After saying that, Master Ren quickly added.

"Of course, if you don't want to deal with it, Master, then I'll just decline."

"You've finally come back, you should enjoy yourself. It was my fault for being so abrupt; how could I trouble you with such a trivial matter..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu waved his hand.

"No... I'm actually quite interested in this."

"I'll go visit his mansion in a few days."

"Yes, Master!"

"........."

After watching a song and dance performance for a while, Li Yu left behind a stack of spirit papers and departed.

After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, the paper soldiers that Li Yu created using the paper-folding technique undoubtedly all possessed the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage!

Among them was even a terrifying paper soldier at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!

It's unimaginable what would happen if such a terrifying power were handed over to a mortal!

But Li Yu didn't care about any of that!

It was just something I casually condensed.

If Master Ren can make him happy, then he won't let the other person cry!

It's all just a matter of doing whatever you feel like.

At the very center of the Ren family manor stands a magnificent and luxurious villa!

It's even more impressive than the Marshal's Mansion!

This is Master Ren's house, specially made for Li Yu.

Aside from the cleaning staff, no one is allowed to approach, let alone live there!

After respectfully escorting Li Yu and Chi Lian into the villa.

Master Ren held the stack of memorial papers, his hands trembling with excitement.

The servants around him were so frightened that they rushed to help him up, fearing that Master Ren might have fallen ill and died from a fall.

What a stroke of luck!

Am I, Ren Fa, perhaps a legendary person who has been good for nine lifetimes, to have met such a noble person as this master, someone I wouldn't even dare to dream of befriending in this life?!

At this moment, Master Ren suddenly felt a sense of gratitude towards the bandits who had robbed him years ago.

Without them, I might have missed the greatest opportunity of my life by brushing past the master!

Thinking of this, Master Ren summoned the steward and told him the location at that time.

"Go! Go there and build a temple!"

"A temple? Sir, who is it dedicated to?"

"bandit!"

housekeeper:???

...............

The next day, Li Yu walked out into the warm sunshine.

He lay lazily on the bench, his face full of contentment.

Behind her stood Chi Lian, her face filled with resentment.

At this moment, she was like a resentful wife whose husband had been away from home for a long time, and who complained when he finally came home. Her resentment was almost overflowing!

Last night, Chi Lian sneakily tried to climb into Li Yu's bed, but he kicked her out.

Helpless, Chi Lian could only transform back into a snake and stay coiled around Li Yu's waist for the night.

She couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.

Logically speaking, I should be extremely beautiful, the kind that even fox spirits would envy!

But why doesn't the owner want it?

Just as Chi Lian was deep in thought, a series of noisy sounds arose.

"Miss...Miss, you can't go in here!"

"This really won't work! This is where Master Li lives!"

"Get out of my way, all of you! Don't block my way!"

Several servants stood beside Aunt Zhe, tears welling up in their eyes.

However, how could a few ordinary people stop her?

He threw them out, one in each hand.

At this moment, Master Ren rushed over and immediately spoke.

"Auntie Zhe, please don't do this, it will disturb Master Li!"

"Wait here a moment, can I go in and ask before you come in?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhe's eyes widened, and she spoke without any politeness.

"Excuse me?"

"Is it possible he's run away again?"

"It's been almost a year since I heard anything. If I can't catch him this time, how long will it take?"

"......."

Upon seeing Aunt Zhe arrive, Li Yu immediately rubbed his temples in exasperation.

Why is this old hag bothering me again?

But he quickly realized what was happening.

No, what am I afraid of?

She likes Lin Jiu, not herself.

Since Aunt Zhe is so insistent, why don't I just grant her wish?

Lin Jiu, you're not getting any younger.

Your eldest brother Shi Jian's child is already so grown up, it's time for you to have a family too!

At the same time, Uncle Jiu, who was far away in Renjia Town, suddenly yawned.

"Um?"

Why do I suddenly have this ominous feeling?

Never mind, something feels off. It must be that traitorous disciple causing trouble!

"Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng! Have you two gotten into trouble again?!"

Wencai:? ? ?

Qiu Sheng: ? ? ?

...............

Seeing Zhe Gu's appearance, Chi Lian looked at her with her vertical pupils and spoke in a cold voice.

"Master, should I kill this village woman?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu waved his hand and spoke in a casual manner.

"What are you saying? How can we cultivators engage in fighting and killing at will?"

"She's an old friend of mine, let her come over!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Lian pursed her lips and said no more.

But in her heart, she started chirping crickets without any restraint.

We cultivators—how can we engage in fighting and killing so casually?

Hearing those words from Li Yu made her blush with embarrassment for her master!

"Master Ren, there's no need to stop her. Let Aunt Zhe come over."

Hearing Li Yu's calm voice, Master Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Helplessly watching Aunt Zhe's retreating figure.

Two minutes later, Li Yu's imposing figure came into Zhe Gu's view.

This bastard... seems even more handsome now, second only to my senior!

Just as she was about to say something, Zhe Gu suddenly sensed the unfathomable aura emanating from Li Yu. Her eyes widened instantly, and she spoke in disbelief.

"You...you've broken through to the Golden Core stage?!"

"Lucky lucky..."

Seeing Li Yu's nonchalant attitude, Zhe Gu gritted her teeth.

How come I never realized before that this guy was so annoying!

Speaking of which, when was the last time I saw Fellow Daoist Li?

About a year ago, I think?

Perhaps it won't even be a year!

At that time, Li Yu was just a novice Qi Refining cultivator.

Now he's suddenly transformed into a Golden Core cultivator?!

It's like a small vendor who once asked you for tips suddenly appearing in front of you a year later as a business tycoon.

I'm fucking questioning the meaning of life!
