Chapter 148: 113. Song Yan and Xiao Jiu (4.6K words - Request for Subscription)


For Song Yan, today is yet another endless day of busywork.

Whereas Kuye, the Sword Master, suddenly departed in the afternoon.

Before leaving, his face was stern, with a hint of uncontrollable tension flickering in his eyes. Such tension had not been revealed even when he went to attend the Jingzhe battle.

Song Yan immediately understood that the "Supervisor" of the "Fox and Wolf Races" had arrived.

The "stone" thrown to ask for directions was about to fall.

As for what results would come after it falls, he did not need to deliberately pursue them, because the outcome would naturally present itself in front of him.

Getting the information early and making a reaction early may not necessarily be a good thing because your "early step" might just be within someone's calculations, where they have set up a trap waiting for you to get caught.

So, sometimes "a step late" is the true "early step".

At this moment, Song Yan had actually lost his sense of belonging to the identity of "Song Yan". What he liked and loved was the life of Bai Xiuhu in front of his eyes.

This life was very peaceful, and there was no fickle Stone Seat Elder, deceitful Gu Huangzi, nor the ever-boundary-breaking Susu Junior Sister, and Junior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Shangguan who would try to kill you one moment and flatter you the next...

As for the identity of Puppet Sect Leader, he did not care.

To him, "Sect Leader" was merely a stepping stone to acquiring High Tier Cultivation Techniques and resources.

However, the former he could obtain through other means, and the latter... could be compensated with lifespan.

This was not a necessity for him.

The reason he took control of the Puppet Sect was merely to have a "buffer he could control" between him and the Mountain and Sea Demon Race.

Seeing that the day's busywork had come to an end, Song Yan let out a long breath, standing akimbo at the courtyard entrance while gazing at the sky.

As dusk approached, no matter what was happening in the distance, at least at this moment... the evening glow in the sky was beautiful.

Song Yan greeted the fellow disciples recuperating in the bamboo hut, then performed Sword Control and Rainbow Transformation, swiftly arriving at a small deserted island above the Misty Sea.

A tombstone inscribed with "Little Jiul of Junior Sister" was nestled in the mountain peak's twilight.

Several white flowers lay before the tombstone, indicating other fellow disciples had visited.

Song Yan slightly perceived the surroundings and found no one.

At least at this moment, the island was empty.

He took a jar of wine from his Storage Bag, sat before the tombstone, released the binding perception of "Changgui Jiul", then leaned back against an ancient evergreen tree, slanting his gaze toward the evening glow outside the sky, which was gradually dimming, deepening, and thickening.

'Master... Master...'

Changgui Jiul called tremulously in the Divine Soul World.

Song Yan responded: 'After so long, have you had the leisure to watch a sunset once?'

Changgui Jiul said, "No."

Song Yan said, "Then accompany me to watch a sunset."

He opened the sealing mud, held the fine wine to his lips, tilted his head and drank a mouthful, the alcohol like flowing fire burning into his organs, then fiercely blazed, incinerating all thoughts, briefly stepping out of joys and sorrows, three thousand worries.

Though the wine was mortal wine, after reading "Hundred Examinations of Profound Grass" and researching "Mortal Fire Refining Technique", he naturally added many ingredients to it, achieving the state that "mortals would surely die if they drank, but he drank it just right".

Song Yan said, "I order you to forget that you're Changgui, speak and act using the tone and personality you had while alive, is that possible?"

Changgui Jiul sighed lightly.

Song Yanqi said, "Can't do it?"

Such perverse ability of "Changwang Hu", he had witnessed long before. Once becoming Changgui, no matter how manipulative, chastity, or attitude one had in life, it would all be altered, becoming towards him, unable to defy any of his commands.

Changgui Jiul said, "Can do it, just afraid of angering Master."

Song Yan said, "I won't be angry, say what you think, curse if you must, speak if you must."

Changgui Jiul took a deep breath and then was ready.

Song Yan drank another sip of wine, the evening breeze from the mountains and waters blowing, brushing his temple hair on both sides, showing a bit of the free and unrestrained knightly manner.

This scene fell into Junior Sister Jiul's eyes, she coldly said, "Everyone has been deceived by your appearance! So was I! If I knew earlier you were a Great Demon, I would have fought desperately to tell Elder! Even if caught by you, skinning me, I would go!"

Song Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling secretly amused.

Switching to Fox Grandma, it was impossible to follow such a command from him.

Only silly Junior Sister Jiul was so honest, even after becoming a ghost.

He thought about it and said, "Born in Jianghu, life is beyond one's control, I was captured by the Puppet Sect, forced to follow the current to survive."

"You are?"

"Song Yan."

"Song Yan? Song... Song Demon?!"

"Am I very famous?"

"Song Demon! You've driven us mad, you used Elder Su to blood battle with Fox Grandma, yet profited like a fisherman.

Later, everyone was searching for you but couldn't find you at all.

I heard Uncle saying inadvertently that you might have taken a tremendous treasure, and that treasure could bring calamity to the entire Three Kingdoms.

Yet you ignored it, selfish, just like Gu Huangzi, a demon!

I just said, how could coward Bai Xiuhu be so powerful, turns out you were the Great Demon!"

Song Yan was silent for a while, patiently explained again, such as how he actually didn't exploit the Fox Stabbing Alliance but helped it with all his might, his digestion of "Changwang Tiger Blood" was helpless, like an arrow on the string.

However, each explanation from him would make Junior Sister Jiul raise various astonished questions.
