Chapter 18: The Spring Breeze Does Not Recognize What Enters the Silk Curtains (Three)

  After eating enough melon, he wiped the juice from his mouth and said: "I'll just tell you about the Dragon God and this piece of Xuan Yin land! This must start with the identity of the Dragon God. The Dragon God is the son of the Dragon King, called Tian Gou, also known as the Swallowing Heaven Divine Beast, a famous fierce god."

  Longjing Gongzi nodded in great satisfaction: "It's a pity that the foolish child doesn't remember, when it comes to the name of Ben Shen, there is no one in the three realms who does not tremble."

  Evil god? This weak and feeble young master is actually a divine spirit? No wonder he has such extraordinary abilities. However, the name "Evil God" sounds like someone who is unreasonable and randomly inflicts disasters. I trembled with fear and quickly knelt down to pray: "I didn't expect it was actually the Dragon God who appeared. Mei Cai was blind to your greatness, please forgive me, Dragon God, and don't bring disaster upon my family."

  "Hahaha……" Longjing Gongzi laughed with satisfaction: "Foolish child, you're indeed much cleverer. No need for courtesy, I'm a generous god and won't hold it against you. This season is perfect for eating fragrant garlic sprouts, just make some deep-fried fragrant garlic fish for me to enjoy. As I've told you before, I love to eat and will eat anything."

  I immediately thought of that rotten human head, and it was probably swallowed by this fierce dragon god too. It's really a chilling appetite.

  Gua Pian continued: "Speaking of which, this Zi Yu Chui Street is not elsewhere, but the intersection of the human and demon realms. The Smoke Rain Pavilion is the center of the mysterious land, a fortress that connects the demon realm to the human world. Lord Tan is stationed here, tasked with maintaining peace in this region, as well as controlling the demon registry, subduing demons from the demon realm who wreak havoc on humans, and using them for his own purposes. Even I, Gua Pian, am a member of the demon registry. However, recently, a major event has occurred in the three realms: the former leader of the demon realm, the nine-tailed fox named Xiang Pian, disappeared on the day of her wedding to the Second Prince of the Underworld. At the same time, the dragon god's demon registry also vanished into thin air. We discovered that many demons were stolen from the registry and released by someone, causing chaos everywhere."

  I suddenly remembered the conversation I heard in my sleep and asked hastily: "Could it be that the former leader stole the Dragon God's treasure?"

  Melon slice wore a sly smile and said, "You don't know that this Dragon God had an unknown secret with that Xiangpian, just like the names of these demons under our Dragon Gods are all tea leaves..."

  "Bang..." Although Longjing Gongzi was smiling on the surface, his hands were ruthless and accurate. He suddenly threw a crystal lamp over, which hit Guapian Tou's head directly.

  Gua Pian hastily rolled down from the offering table, as if afraid of being interrupted by Long Sheng Ye, and spoke quickly: "Long Sheng Ye forbids me to speak! Gua Pian will make it brief, anyway, according to legend in the Three Realms, Jiutou Huo used her beauty to deceive Yao Bo with the help of Long Sheng Ye's friendship. The Heavenly Court has issued a decree that Long Sheng Ye was derelict in his duties and cannot be forgiven. However, considering his past merits in protecting humans, he can avoid death but not punishment. He is ordered to find Yao Bo himself, and if he succeeds, the matter will be dropped. But if he fails to find Yao Bo within the specified time limit, he will face severe punishment, perhaps even being sent to guard the Gate of No Return in the underworld!"

  For this miserable encounter, Longjing Gongzi simply scratched his ear and said, "Some stubborn old antiques, they all pushed the matter to Ben Shen's head." Then he blew his fingertips lightly, looking like an old man who came out to sunbathe with a stool in the afternoon, still leisurely and not flustered.

  "Ah, I didn't think Lord Longshen would have such troubles too..." I hastily asked: "Has the whereabouts of that demon been found yet?"

  "The natural world was in an uproar, the demon realm lost its bride, and the nine-tailed fox family's leader escaped marriage. The heavenly court has been petitioned to capture them, and they are now being held in the underworld. As a result, this mysterious midwife has taken on the task of managing the demon realm. However, it seems that she has some connection with the underworld and only gets along with the dragon god. She has always envied the vast powers of the demon realm and wants to regain control over the demons within it to increase her own power. Now that the demon realm is gone, the demon world is also resentful towards the careless dragon god, which is why they are intentionally causing trouble."

  It seems that the old leader, Xiangpian, has eloped and not only implicated his entire family but also dragged in Longshenye. When I first met Longshenye, he said that something was lost and that there would be strange happenings on Ziyu Street, and it turns out that this is what he meant.

  "So, I know that the demon must be within the dark land. I just need to wait and observe, and it will eventually show up. I'm too lazy to move around or ask about any strange occurrences. Since you are a messenger of the Dragon God, from now on, whenever there is any demonic activity, come and report to me immediately, got it?" The Dragon God sat lazily, lying straight on the altar table, giving orders as if he was exhausted.

  "Yes..." I hastily replied, but my heart was somewhat panicked. Had that demon escaped? Would the demons come out and run amok, disturbing the people of Purple Jade Hairpin Street?

  "It's not just the demon realm," Guapian interrupted, "the underworld suspects that Xiangpian had a private affair with Longshen, and only regretted the marriage at the last minute, throwing herself at Longshen. So they're eager for Longshen to send someone to guard the gates of the underworld, just to humiliate him and vent their anger. That's why they're also helping to stir up trouble for Longshen, afraid that he'll find the demon thin... Now, it seems that Longshen has offended both the demon realm and the underworld..."
