No matter who you are, or whether you are related to the curse that killed the court's general, as long as you practice the method of suppressing evil spirits, you will all be dragged to the main city of Xia Yu, lined up, beheaded, and have your lamps lit.

"Brother Su!"

Just as the dishes at Luoheju were being served, the waitresses were explaining the cooking methods and ingredients to Su Yan one by one when a loud shout broke the quiet and elegant atmosphere of Luoheju. Zhou You and Wen Juntong were walking arm in arm out of the elevator in the cultivation world.

When Zhou You saw Su Yan by the terrace, she smiled and raised her hand to greet him: "Want to have a couple of drinks?"

When Zhou You met Su Yan, he was very happy and pleased, because Su Yan was a good-for-nothing who didn't like to cultivate or get involved in anything. He was a good-for-nothing with no dreams in life. His favorite thing was to travel around mountains and rivers and he wanted to compile an encyclopedia about the human geography of the cultivation world.

Su Yan displayed knowledge of the demon race that Zhou You had never seen before.

This made Zhou You realize that the perspectives of humans and demons might differ.

Mountain spirits like the Flower Fairy are recorded in human books as harmless sprites who can help artificially cultivated spiritual plants bloom and bear fruit. However, the Flower Fairy is a very delicate mountain spirit and is prone to dying of melancholy when imprisoned.

But Su Yan's first words were about brewing tea and boiling water, unlike the human race who worshipped the Flower Fairy and regarded her as their mother.

This greatly surprised Zhou You, and she developed the idea of ​​befriending Su Yan.

Perhaps Su Yan is also a scoundrel? A strange sense of camaraderie arises between scoundrels.

"Brother Su?"

Zhou You called out again, but Su Yan did not answer, because the term "Brother Su" was unfamiliar to Su Yan. Su Yan had never heard such a title from anyone else and did not realize that Zhou You was calling him.

Helpless, Zhou You could only tactlessly step forward and call out to Su Yan again, interrupting his meal with Jiao Nanwu.

"Are you calling me?"

Su Yan was taken aback when he saw Zhou You, and pointed at himself with a finger, asking in confusion.

"That's right, isn't your surname Su? We've met three times. In the vast city of Xia Yu, there are many strangers who brush past each other and never meet again in a lifetime. We've met three times, so it's not an exaggeration to say that we have a deep brotherly bond, is it?"

Zhou You said it with certainty and as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"."

Su Yan's expression was slightly subtle. "Brother Su, your chest is bound, your breasts are soft" didn't seem like a good thing to say.

"Weren't you two fighting like mad yesterday? How come you're all arm in arm today?"

Although Su Yan was very dissatisfied with Zhou You's way of addressing him, he did not express it openly. Instead, he suddenly tried to sow discord and incite Wen Juntong's hatred.

"Fight to the death? No, absolutely impossible. I treat Brother Zhou like a brother, how could we possibly have a fight to the death? Absolutely not."

Wen Juntong clarified earnestly, saying, "It's truly a stroke of luck for me to meet a gentleman like Brother Zhou, so how could I possibly contradict him?"

Wen Juntong changed his tune completely, refusing to mention the incident last night when he chased Zhou You with Shan Huan and a big stick. His nonsensical ramblings greatly surprised Su Yan. She wondered what kind of spell Zhou You had cast on Wen Juntong, making him forget about his father's imprisonment and his deep-seated hatred, and instead, he and Zhou You were so intimate in public that it was like they were sharing a peach.

"It was just a misunderstanding between Brother Wen and me. Once it's cleared up, there's no problem. Good brothers don't hold grudges overnight."

Zhou You smiled and said, "Let's not talk about those things. Brother Su, come over for a couple of drinks later. We'll take our leave now so as not to disturb your private meeting with the girl in blue."

Jiao Nanwu's entrance was absolutely shocking. Without saying a word, she carried Su Yan to the second floor of the brothel, preparing to give Su Yan a coming-of-age ceremony. Zhou You was completely astonished, having never seen such a bold girl before.

Although Brother Su is indeed outstanding in appearance, he is not so handsome as to drive women crazy, is he?

All I can say is that the girl in blue is indeed bold and decisive; if she likes someone, she'll just carry them back to her dorm.

Watching Zhou You and Wen Juntong leave, Su Yan's gaze was slightly subtle. He said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that Zhou can't say anything nice. There's always a sleazy aura about him when he speaks. He doesn't have the refined, gentle and upright demeanor he has in his appearance."

"Brother Su with Plump Breasts, Brother Wen with Bra." Although Zhou You's words were unambiguous, his street-smart tone made it seem like he was swearing, and his words were like veiled insults, which felt very strange.

Perhaps due to a strong preconceived notion, Su Yan simply couldn't forget Zhou You's sleazy nature.

"This is delicious, you should try some!"

Jiao Nanwu didn't mind the two people disturbing her. The two people stayed briefly like passersby. She kept eating the dishes and didn't pay any attention to the sudden arrival of strangers.

Jiao Nanwu picked up half a roasted chicken leg with her chopsticks and put it in Su Yan's bowl, urging him to pick up his chopsticks, because the food wouldn't taste good if it got cold.

Su Yan picked up his chopsticks and began to taste. Although Luoheju was exceptionally expensive, the ordinary dishes weren't particularly delicious. They were about 80 points outside, but 90 points here. The high price was entirely due to the environment, service, and scenery.

"Okay, I'll go sit with Zhou You for a while and then come back later."

After they had almost finished eating, Su Yan told Jiao Nanwu and then got up and walked towards the private room where Zhou You and Wen Juntong were.

Zhou You and Wen Juntong may be vulgar, but Su Yan doesn't think he's particularly noble. Getting to know people from all walks of life won't do him any harm.

Zhou Youdu invited him to drink. Whether he would drink or not was another matter, but he still had to go. He told him that he and Jiao Nanwu had eaten and drunk their fill and were leaving.

"Wonderful! Brother Zhou is indeed a genius!"

As Su Yan approached the private room, he could faintly hear Wen Juntong's shouts, accompanied by bursts of lewd laughter. Su Yan couldn't help but stop in front of the private room and look at the waitress standing at the door.

The waitress kept her eyes down, showing no sign of surprise at the lewd laughter coming from inside the private room, nor did she give Su Yan any strange looks. This demonstrated that the girls at Luoheju were all professionally trained and would never show any hostility or mockery towards their customers.

"Humans are diverse." Su Yan seemed to be talking to himself, but also telling the girl that he and the two inside were not of the same race, and that he belonged to a different race.

The girl didn't reply, but smiled sweetly and knocked on the door of the private room for Su Yan.

Zhou You, who was inside, said, "Come in."

Su Yan pushed open the door and walked into the private room. The first thing she saw was Wen Juntong holding a book and praising it. With Su Yan's eyesight, she could barely make out the contents of the book. The book Wen Juntong was holding was a handwritten copy with pictures and text about the demon race.

The page was titled "Guan Guan," but the accompanying picture was of a voluptuous beauty. The beauty was so lifelike that she exuded both a spiritual and sensual quality, finally making Su Yan understand why he could lewdly laugh while reading.

They are truly despicable!

"Brother Su."

When Zhou You noticed that Su Yan's gaze was fixed on the book she had compiled, she said with great interest, "Could it be that you are also interested in my book compilation? This book is a true record of what I have seen and heard since I left home at the age of sixteen and have been wandering the world."

The page about the demon beast Guanguan should actually be called a book, not a page. The first half of the book records in detail Guanguan's living habits and living environment in its original form.

The latter half describes Guan Guan's appearance after her transformation, as well as Zhou You's own observations, comments, and rumors.

However, the lecherous Wen Juntong kept his eyes fixed on Guan Guan's human form, reading an encyclopedia as if it were a royal book, and occasionally uttering lewd "likes" that made those around him tremble.

Wen Juntong exclaimed that Brother Zhou was a divine being, capable of compiling such a divine book. If it were printed, it would surely be welcomed and sought after by the people of Xia Yu.

“No, I don’t intend to make a copy,” Zhou You shook his head, rejecting Wen Juntong’s suggestion. He invited Su Yan to sit down and poured him a glass of wine, saying, “Its existence is…” Zhou You paused here and continued, “Never mind. Whether I can compile it in my lifetime is another matter. Let’s talk about those things when the time comes!”

If Zhou You were to actually compile the entire book, it might not necessarily be a good thing. It would be equivalent to the human race completely mastering the secrets of other races, and even developing methods to counter them.

The best outcome would be to have a unique copy of this entire book. Zhou You didn't want to invite any disaster upon himself. The book was merely something he did while traveling through the land, and he didn't want to ruin his own people and become the target of various alien races because of this casual work.

"By the way, Brother Su, your aunt should be quite well-informed. Have you heard any rumors about Xia Yu's main city?"

After offering Su Yan a glass of wine, Zhou You asked him some questions about things in Xia Yu City.

"I've already said no, why won't you give up? My mother says everything is normal, you'd rather believe rumors than your brother?"

Upon seeing Zhou You bring up the old matter again, Wen Juntong, who was engrossed in reading the entire book about the beauties of the demon race, complained with a displeased expression, "Brother Xin was right!"

Zhou You once asked Wen Juntong for money to pursue her dreams.

Wen Juntong lent him a large sum of money. Zhou You's return to the main city of Xia Yu was not to stop his travels and writing of his experiences, but because he had heard a legend in the southern part of the Xia Yu Dynasty.

Legend has it that Jiuyou, one of the ten witches of the Immortal Kingdom, roams around the main city of the Xia Dynasty. It is said that as long as you gather nine souls, you can ascend to immortality in one step. Zhou You has been following the clues and flying back to the main city of Xia Dynasty from the south by immortal boat, hoping to find traces of the legend of Jiuyou and compile it into his complete book of travels around the world.

After receiving Zhou You's book on exotic customs, Wen Juntong felt that his efforts had been richly rewarded, so he temporarily stopped pursuing Zhou You's previous betrayal and studied the beauties of the demon race or other ethnic groups in the book with his father.

Therefore, Wen Juntong also helped Zhou You sound out his mother. In terms of understanding the Xia Yu Dynasty, who dares to say that they are more powerful than the Demon Suppression Division?

The fact that Madam Wen had never heard of the Nine Netherworld Legend proves that Zhou You received a false message.

Although Xia Yu's main city is large, it also has a large population, and there are some small towns built around the main city. If there really were any ghosts, it would be impossible to hide them.

And there were as many as nine ghostly spirits!

Waaaaah, there are so many monsters on the light novel new book chart! One of them slapped me so hard I'm now outside the top forty.

Chapter 25 Flower Jade Immortal

Regarding information about 'Nine Netherworlds', although Wen Juntong had asked his mother, Madam Wen, Madam Wen herself was not directly under the Demon Suppression Division of the Imperial Court. It was just that someone in her family worked in the Demon Suppression Division. She might know a lot of strange information, but it might not be comprehensive.

The information about Jiuyou was obtained by Zhou You from a group of Nightmare Suppressors during his travels in the south.

Not to mention how much effort it took, Zhou You almost risked his life. If the information he obtained turned out to be false, he would have really suffered a huge loss.

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about Jiuyou. My aunt probably doesn't know either. We've only been in the Xia Yu Dynasty for a short time."

Faced with Zhou You's question, Su Yan pondered for a while before answering truthfully and frankly.

My aunt is accumulating spiritual energy for her transformation, striving to break through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal. She usually doesn't get involved in any power struggles or conflicts, and stays in the brothel running her small business.

Moreover, judging from the previous conversation, it was clear that her aunt harbored a great deal of resentment towards the Ten Witches of the Undying Kingdom. Perhaps she really knew something? But Su Yan wasn't sure.

Therefore, Su Yan directly answered Zhou You that neither she nor her aunt knew anything about it, and did not want to cause any trouble for herself or her aunt because of her ambiguous words.

That would be a pity.

Zhou You sighed and said, "Originally, I planned to use one of the ten witches from the legend of the Undying Kingdom as the ending of my exploration in the southern part of Xia Yu. If my aunt really knows anything, or can help me find out information about Jiu You, I will definitely visit her one day to give her a small gift and kowtow."

He had no obsession with the Nine Netherworlds. During his two years of travel in the south, he had almost covered all the southern mountains of Xia Yu and wanted to visit other places as well, and also to write a final chapter for the Xia Yu: Southern Volume.

Using one of the Ten Witches of the Undead Kingdom as the ending of a volume would be a fantastic idea.

If it really doesn't happen, Zhou You won't force it; let nature take its course!

"Definitely, I'll ask around when I get back, but I can't guarantee what the outcome will be."

"I thank Brother Su in advance."

Zhou You raised his glass again and drank it down, giving Su Yan a toast to thank him for his loyalty.

What Zhou You didn't know was that Su Yan's use of the word "definitely" basically meant "definitely next time," it was just a very polite way of putting it, and there was no way it would come to fruition.

Su Yan sat in Zhou You and Wen Juntong's private room for a while before taking the initiative to leave. Using Jiao Nanwu waiting for him outside as an excuse, he quickly left without lingering in the room and ruining his reputation.

Wen Juntong, in a sense, is also a man of strong emotions, so it's no wonder that Madam Wen prayed for a child.

"Let's hurry up and leave! This is so embarrassing."

Su Yan returned to her table on the terrace, informed Jiao Nanwu, and prepared to leave.
