The old dog harbored ill intentions; his living environment was much harsher than Zhou You's.
If he could single-handedly change Xiao Jing's fate, he would be willing.
For that, he could stake his own life.
Zhou You's eyes were closed as he quietly lay in the wooden tub.
The old dog subtly shifted his position, picked up the wooden ladle to pour water over Zhou You, and at the same time, his Right Hand silently reached for the Zhu Xie Sword.
"You'll die."
The old dog's body stiffened, his face pale.
Looking at Zhou You again, he still had his eyes closed. "Continue."
The old dog's lips trembled as he responded, breaking out in a cold sweat.
When the water started to cool, Zhou You stood up directly, spiritual energy circulating on his body to dry himself, then picked up new clothes and put them on. "Don't have any more ill intentions. With your body's strength, even if I gave you the sword, you wouldn't survive three breaths."
The old dog forced a smile, "I... this... I was just curious, purely curious."
Zhou You finished dressing, reached up to gather his hair into a bundle, and tied it with a band. "There won't be a next time."
The old dog nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Zhou You reached out and picked up the Zhu Xie Sword, glanced at it, then suddenly handed it to the old dog, "Want to touch it?"
The old dog gave a dry laugh, "No need."
Zhou You smiled, "You rogue cultivators are just so prone to greed. Besides greed, you're also very stingy."
The old dog's face turned red and his neck thickened, "I'm tired of living in poverty."
"Haha."
Zhou You glanced at the old dog and shook his head slightly.
The old dog's heart trembled, and by the time Zhou You walked out of the room, he felt completely drenched.
He truly wondered if he was becoming senile?
How dared he harbor such malicious thoughts?
Just the fact that the other party had a storage ring meant he was an existence beyond his reach in this lifetime.
The old dog picked up the clothes Zhou You had discarded from the ground and sniffed them. "Is this real demon blood? And the demonic aura is so strong, it must be of no low grade. Could it be that I was really wrong? That there's no protector, and he actually killed them all himself?"
The old dog's eyes flickered; he was becoming increasingly confused.
How could a Fan Blood Realm cultivator go to the wilderness and still come back alive?
Even when Snake Eye was killed, he didn't see how Snake Eye died.
Only Zhou You's two kicks: one kicked Snake Eye flying, and the other blocked Snake Eye's body from hitting him.
The movements were fast, but he could still see them clearly enough.
But he had examined Snake Eye's body, including the others.
All of them were killed with a single sword strike, clean and swift, without any sloppiness.
He had never seen such swordsmanship.
The old dog's eyes narrowed slightly as he seriously pondered the circumstances of Snake Eye's death at the time.
Assuming there was a protector, their attack method would definitely come from outside the house, and once they attacked, it would definitely cause some damage to the house.
But in reality, this situation was not observed.
Therefore, this point could be completely ruled out.
Inside!
The attack came from inside the house.
He himself didn't make a move, and that protector couldn't have acted silently in the hall unless he could remain invisible the entire time.
"Was it really him?"
The old dog's face grew uglier; if it really was Zhou You who made the move.
Then this matter was simply too outrageous, as outrageous as a mouse being a bridesmaid for a cat.
But precisely, all clues pointed to Zhou You.
He wasn't calm because he had someone protecting him, but because he himself knew he wouldn't die.
That was confidence!
Confidence stemming from his own strength.
The old dog took several deep breaths. If these things were true, then the major sects were truly terrifying.
Even a Fan Blood Realm disciple could run rampant outside.
The old dog hurriedly tidied up the clothes; since they were unwanted, they naturally had to be disposed of cleanly, and the bathwater also needed to be handled.
Having received so many benefits, doing these things was only right.
...
Zhou You went to Zhou Chen's room. Zhou Chen had finally woken up, and Li Wanji and Xiao Jing were accompanying her.
"This is a girl's room. A man shouldn't just enter. Don't you know that?"
Zhou You looked at Xiao Jing, showing much displeasure.
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, then walked out the door, "Sorry, I forgot."
"Young people nowadays have no manners."
Zhou You shook his head.
Zhou Chen smiled, "Second Uncle, it's fine. I'm not naked."
"That's still not allowed."
Zhou You said sternly, "One thing is one thing. A girl's chastity still needs to be emphasized. Otherwise, when you marry in the future, others will find fault."
Zhou Chen stuck out her tongue, her smile bright.
Li Wanji thought, Aren't you a man too?
Zhou You felt Li Wanji's gaze and couldn't help but look over, "I know what you're thinking. I'm an elder. In front of elders, there's no distinction of gender."
Li Wanji muttered, "Isn't there also 'a grown daughter should avoid her father'?"
Zhou You raised an eyebrow, "What? Does that mean when a daughter is born, her father has to die?"
Li Wanji chuckled, "I didn't mean that, I just said it offhand."
Zhou You said calmly, "I am her Second Uncle, which is a bond across generations. How would a young girl like you understand this kind of affection?"
Zhou Chen quickly changed the subject, "Second Uncle, are you alright from your time outside? Were you hungry? Are you used to it?"
Zhou You pulled up a chair and sat beside her, "What are you thinking? I'm an elder, what could happen to me?"
After speaking, he instructed, "After we go back in a few days, you still need to cultivate diligently. Go into seclusion directly. First, break through to the Spirit Connection Realm, and then think about other things."
Zhou Chen smiled sweetly and nodded heavily.
She wouldn't have any doubts about this.
Others might not be able to, but with Second Uncle, she would definitely be able to do what others couldn't.
"Oh, right."
Zhou You took out his demon slayer token and handed it to Zhou Chen, "Anyway, this thing isn't specifically for one person. Give me yours, and this one is for you. You can exchange for whatever you want."
Li Wanji's eyes swept over it, and she suddenly stood up, "Seventy-eight thousand!"
Her voice was so loud it almost blew the roof off.
She was filled with shock, My goodness!
She had been working hard for many days, how many merit points did she have in total?
This guy just casually took out seventy-eight thousand?
Did he poke a demon beast's nest?
Zhou You rubbed his ear, slightly displeased, "Not only are you big, but your voice is loud too."
Li Wanji suppressed her shock and sat down, her face flushed.
Zhou Chen hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, I don't need it. You should keep it for yourself."
"I've already exchanged for a cultivation technique for myself."
Zhou You stuffed his demon slayer token into Zhou Chen's hand, "You are a descendant of my Zhou Family. I haven't seen your brother or anything, so I'll just give a meeting gift to whoever I see first."
In his opinion, this was a meeting gift.
