Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

The nine-tailed white fox chuckled in a human-like manner, looking at Dongfang Yuechu, who was trembling all over.

"Hey, hey, hey! Bro, I was wrong! I was really wrong, I'll never do it again, please spare my life!"

Seeing his brother's gloomy face, the bulging veins on his forehead, and his clenched, cracking fists, Chu Yue was truly terrified.

He was really afraid that his brother might accidentally unleash a black flash with a punch and knock him out!

At the beginning of the month, she didn't dare to mention it. Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was peeking out from the chest of his robe and making faces at him with a smug smile, was really afraid that if she mentioned it, her brother would double the punishment time!

Of course, as his own younger brother, how could Dongfang Haoyang bear to kill Yuechu?

"Don't worry, it'll just be a little physical pain; consider it an education!"

Dongfang Yuechu watched as his brother Haoyang's hand reached towards the dragon-patterned belt at his waist!

Startled, he quickly got up, turned around, and ran away. He didn't want to experience the lightning-fast five-hit lash again!

"You still dare to run?!"

Dongfang Haoyang lunged forward and pinned Dongfang Yuechu to the ground with one hand! He then drew his dragon-patterned belt from his waist and began to beat Dongfang Yuechu mercilessly!

Damn it! If he doesn't get this brat into the clinic today, he's not a true Dongfang!

After spending a year together, he knew all too well that Ya Ya, that little fool, with her intelligence, couldn't possibly not have imagined the plan to secretly slip away from Tu Shan behind his back.

This sophisticated plan must have been devised and implemented by his brother.

If it weren't for Xiao Yuechu, and my own clever but mischievous younger brother, how could that stupid fox Tu Shan Ya Ya have been brought out like this!

If something happens to Ya Ya, how will he explain it to Hong Hong and Rong Rong? If Yue Chu dies, how will he explain it to his deceased parents?

His brother is a piece of trash, all he thinks about is how to sneak around and play, he never considers the consequences, even though he has his own life-saving charm.

But if one were to be possessed by that extraterrestrial being, Jin Chenxi, one's own consciousness would be taken over!

Such recklessness and carelessness, underestimating the other party, how can I entrust my great cause to this foolish younger brother in the future!

Tu Shan Ya Ya can make mistakes because she has her sister, Rong Rong, and herself in front of her, but Dongfang Yue Chu cannot, even though he also has himself in front of him.

But Dongfang Haoyang had always treated Dongfang Yuechu, his own younger brother, as an equal. This reckless behavior—daring not to even tell him and taking Tushan Yaya away without his permission—was a serious mistake. If it weren't for him today...

That brat, he'll probably fall into a trap and die in this treacherous and scheming Baiyu Village before he even marries his fairy sister.

More than an hour later, Tu Shan Honghong and Cui Yuling arrived, along with Ya Ya, who continued to plead for mercy.

Only then did Dongfang Haoyang reluctantly let Dongfang Yuechu go.

"You brat, this isn't over yet! Wait till I get back to Tushan and see how I punish you!"

Tu Shan Honghong felt a pang of sympathy as she held the silent Dongfang Yuechu and treated his numerous wounds.

"Your Excellency Haoyang, although the fault did lie with Yuechu, since Ya'er and Yuechu are both unharmed, how about we treat them leniently?"

Dongfang Haoyang sighed and nodded slightly.

Dongfang Yuechu choked up and remained silent, leaning against Tushan Honghong's chest and stroking the little pearl.

Soon after, Huwei Army arrived and began clearing out Baiyu Village.

Haoyang and his group temporarily stayed in tents prepared by the Tiger Might Army near Baiyu Village.

Dongfang Yuechu and his brother lived in one room, while Honghong, Yaya, and Cuiyu Ling lived in the other.

"Oh my god! Bro, you really hit me! Waaaaah!"

That evening, Xiaoyuechu covered her swollen face and complained to Haoyang, who was applying medicine to her.

He knew his brother wasn't the type to prioritize women over friends; there must be a reason why he beat him up but let his sister-in-law go.

"Hmph! You brat, you think you can prove yourself with your little brains?! Don't think I can't see through you, you want to prove to Tushan Honghong that you can stand on your own, don't you!"

"Hey, big brother, are you a mind reader...?"

"You brat!" Dongfang Haoyang was so angry that he smacked Dongfang Yuechu on the forehead.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Dongfang Yuechu pouted and rubbed her forehead with a resentful expression.

"Brother, Ya Ya and I can actually investigate and find out who's behind Baiyu Village."

"Hmph! Investigate, huh! Do you know that if you continue this investigation, you might lose your life?"

"Huh?! It can't be that serious, right? Bro, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Dongfang Haoyang sighed. His foolish younger brother was still too inexperienced. Oh well, he would gain more experience in the future, but he had to live to see that time. He had no sense of awe and was so reckless that he would surely die in this chaotic world.

Humanity has never lacked geniuses, but the vast majority perish before they even begin to blossom, their talents extinguished by naivety, arrogance, and conceit.

"Do you know what's hidden in this Jade Village?" Dongfang Haoyang lightly lifted his finger, slicing through space and taking out a ball of golden liquid.

"Didn't you say it was a demon-repelling talisman? Those things have no effect on us humans~"

"Ha, do you even know what this 'miracle water' that these villagers are talking about is?"

"Hmm... I heard from those people that it's something that can beautify and nourish the skin."

"Heh..." Dongfang Haoyang laughed in anger. Good stuff? Good stuff that can kill you with just one sip?

Haoyang stopped keeping him in suspense and looked at his brother Yuechu with a very serious expression, raising a finger and speaking sternly.

"Once you drink that 'magic water,' you'll be dead! You idiot!!!"

Dongfang Yuechu was startled by his brother's words, but seeing his brother's serious face with a hint of anger, he realized that he was quite surprised.

He knew his brother never lied about these things, and he realized that he had been completely deceived from the bottom of his heart.

Even if he and Ya Ya really defeated those villagers and entered the village, what if they accidentally drank that "miracle water"? Wouldn't they just die instantly and be reincarnated?

"That's not water at all! It's an extraterrestrial creature called Golden Dawn! This creature is extremely vicious, and it is best at seizing people's minds, erasing their souls, and finally refining the entire creature into its true form, Golden Dawn."

"So, in other words, these villagers are using Jin Chenxi to erase the minds of humans or demons, and then..."

"Hmph! You're lucky, kid. Luckily, Tu Shan Hong Hong discovered that you and Ya Ya had slipped out in time. Otherwise, if I had arrived a little later, these villagers might have used that thing to attack you directly."

Dongfang Haoyang's veins bulged as he grabbed Dongfang Yuechu by the collar and lifted him up, his iron fist clenched tightly as he glared angrily at the boy's unfocused pupils, which were filled with fear.

"Then you can wait for your fairy sister in the underworld! You won't have to be my brother and suffer this pain of flesh and blood."

Dongfang Haoyang let go, and with a thud, Dongfang Yuechu, who was already terrified, collapsed to the ground. His back was already soaked with cold sweat, and his forehead was also covered with layers of cold sweat.

At the beginning of the month, he realized just how ridiculous and outrageous his mistake was. If his brother hadn't told him, he probably would have lost his life.

If his brother hadn't come, and if he and Sister Ya Ya had accidentally drunk the well water containing the golden dawn from outside the circle, they would probably be two mindless walking corpses by now...

"Brother, brother, I was wrong. Please beat me again! I'll never do it again at the beginning of the month!"
