Chapter 3006 When You Are Old!

Dudu knew Wang Yue couldn't wait, so she calmly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll give it to you sooner or later. Let's answer your friend's question first."

She paused here before continuing.
"Actually, before we appeared, I had already used the mirror to create an illusion of us, making people feel that there were people here. This is a new skill I have acquired."

Seeing that Dudu still referred to herself as the Mirror Demon, Jiu Xuanye smiled and said, "You have no karma on you at all, so calling yourself a demon is a bit inappropriate. You should be called the Mirror Immortal!"

Wang Yue hadn't expected Jiu Xuanye to be such a flatterer, and he said with a smile.

"What you said is true. I used to call Dudu Sweet Sister just because I thought Dudu was pretty, but now she really does have an ethereal quality."

Dudu only started interacting with people after she came into this world. When she made things difficult for those lecherous grooms, she simply killed them. So people only hate her when they see her.

But now Dudu was being praised by the two of them, an experience she had never had before, which made her very happy. However, she pretended to be calm and said...

"You'd better not praise me anymore. There's something I want to tell you. After I absorbed that mirror demon's power, I also learned some of his story. Would you like to hear it?"

Wang Yue and Jiu Xuanye were both very curious and made sure to listen attentively.

Dudu didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly told the Mirror Demon's love story.

This mirror demon is called Chi Wangchuan. Because he cultivated between Yin and Yang, he gained the ability to control the mirror space and also comprehended some time-related abilities.

This time-travel ability uses a jade pear to establish a seven-day lifespan swap contract, requiring the user to offer the emotions of their beloved as a sacrifice.

A hundred years ago, a dancer from Jili, in the prime of her youth, was bought into the household of a wealthy family.

When she was at her most beautiful, Ji Li was quite favored, but as her youth faded and her dancing lost its former grace, she was disliked in every way.

Looking at his aged reflection in the bronze mirror, Ji Li, unwilling to accept his fate, made wishes to the mirror day and night, eventually summoning the mirror demon Chi Wangchuan.

Chi Wangchuan promised to grant Ji Li's wish, to restore her youth, and that she would stay by his side forever if she agreed. Ji Li agreed and eagerly ate the jade pear that Chi Wangchuan offered.

After Dudu finished speaking, she smiled and said, "This Chi Wangchuan and that woman have been entangled for so many years. Now that the woman is still alive, do you want to go and see her?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xuanye immediately said seriously, "Of course we have to go. This woman is essentially an accomplice of the demon, so we must make sure she has no intention of harming anyone."

Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "I think we don't need to go see her. If this woman is willing to stay by Chi Wangchuan's side, Chi Wangchuan won't have time to go to Wanzhou."

So there must be something wrong in their relationship. If we go to that woman now, she will probably feel a sense of relief.

However, decades later, when the woman grows old again, she will probably miss Chi Wangchuan again!
The emotions arising from desire are far too complex for us to have any real contact with.

Dudu didn't quite understand, but the next moment she suddenly dropped a bombshell.
"Since Chi Wangchuan is dead, those who are younger through him will revert to their original state!"

After hearing this, Wang Yue said with some curiosity, "If that's the case, I really want to see who that woman Chi Wangchuan liked for so long is, and what her reaction was after she learned that Chi Wangchuan was dead?"

Jiu Xuanye didn't expect Wang Yue to be interested in these gossips. He just felt that Wang Yue had surpassed him and wanted to go back to cultivate properly, so he simply prepared to take his leave.

Before Jiu Xuanye could speak, he suddenly heard Chu Youhuang's voice.
"Jiu Xuanye, stand there obediently and wait for me to take you to the dungeon."

Jiu Xuanye swallowed his words and looked at Chu Youhuang with a helpless expression, asking,
"Officer Chu, what's the point of you bothering me like this? I've already said that I only deal with demons, I've never killed a human."

Chu Youhuang said smugly, "Jiu Xuanye, I've been watching you for a long time. Every time you go somewhere, people die. When have you ever seen a demon?"
Moreover, I'm not arresting you this time because of that, but because Lord Duan from Nanyang City has sent a warrant for your arrest; what happened in Nanyang City has been exposed.”

Jiu Xuanye was taken aback by this turn of events. He said speechlessly, "Chu Youhuang, I think you should use your brain. If I really killed someone, would I still come back here? It really is a monster that is killing people. If you don't believe me, I can cast a spell on your eyes so that you can see monsters too."

Chu Youhuang scoffed, "Alright, do you think you can make me believe you just by using illusion magic? You'd better come with me obediently."

Jiu Xuanye suddenly realized that there was no way to explain things to someone as stubborn as Chu Youhuang, so he turned back to look at Dudu with some anticipation and said in a flattering tone,

"Mirror Immortal, do you think we can show this guy that there are always people more powerful than you, and that there's always something beyond your understanding?"

Dudu said with amusement, "I think it would be better if you let your rabbit do it. After all, no matter how much I say, he'll just think it's an illusion."

Jiu Xuanye's expression changed instantly. He turned to look at Dudu, and still chose to resist to the death.
"What rabbit demon? I don't know anything about that."

Suddenly, the mirror demon stood in the corner and waved his hand. A boy was suddenly trapped in his mirror and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

"Late Snow~!"

Jiu Xuanye was startled and almost instinctively screamed, then realized she had given herself away, and awkwardly said...

"Mirror Fairy, you should release Chi Xue. He's just a timid rabbit. Don't scare him."

The reason Dudu took action was because she understood the situation Jiu Xuan Ye Wang Yue was facing. If she couldn't prove there was a demon, she might be wanted, which would prevent her from traveling and enjoying the world.

So, she chose to make things difficult for Chi Xue, and said to Chu Youhuang with a smile,

"Come and hold this rabbit, and see if it can turn into a human."

Chu Youhuang was completely terrified by Dudu's actions. What kind of magic could make a person suddenly disappear? He even went to the place where that person had been and touched it, but he couldn't find anyone there at all.

Upon seeing the rabbit that suddenly appeared in front of her, Chu Youhuang almost instinctively hugged it.

As it turned out, Dudu seemed to be deliberately playing a trick on him, turning the rabbit back into its original form just as he hugged it.

Suddenly, Chu Youhuang found herself hugging a man. Although the man was very young, the two of them were face to face, which looked rather awkward.

He quickly let go, and said in astonishment, "Chi Xue, you're actually a rabbit! You really are a monster? Are you also a murderous monster? Could it be that Jiu Xuanye is colluding with monsters?"

After hearing this, Chi Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes and said with disdain, "Prejudice in people's hearts is indeed a mountain!"

Jiu Xuanye quickly changed the subject and said seriously, "We have found the culprit behind those throat-gouging cases from a while ago. It is a monster called a human-faced owl."

But the human-faced owl disguised itself as Qu Manniang, completely bewitching Duan Yanqiu. He even went so far as to seek revenge for that monster. You really can't be fooled by him.

Chu Youhuang frowned and asked, "What evidence do you have to support your claim?"

Jiu Xuanye calmly said, "Back then, in order to deal with Brother Wang and me, Duan Yanqiu once led a large number of his family's servants to besiege us at Duan Family Manor."

The monster revealed itself right then and there. If you don't believe me, you can ask the servants!

Seeing that Jiu Xuanye was so naive, Wang Yue quickly reminded him, "If you go too late, those servants will probably be dead. But this also proves that Duan Yanqiu is definitely hiding something. You just need to go as soon as possible."

Although Chu Youhuang still had some doubts, she didn't ask any more questions and agreed immediately, even going to Nanyang right away!
After Chu Youhuang left, Wang Yue and Jiu Xuanye, led by Dudu, quickly arrived at Yunmen Dance Studio!
At this moment, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre was in complete chaos. A woman was huddled in a corner, and many more people were standing at the entrance, pointing and whispering about what was happening inside.

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Yue immediately realized that the women who had eaten those Jade Moon Pears were now starting to age. He was very curious to see just how old they looked, so he squeezed through the crowd.

But people always have to pay the price for their curiosity!
Wang Yue was shocked when he saw it!
If it were just the condition of an ordinary old man, Wang Yue wouldn't be unable to look at him, after all, everyone gets old eventually. However, the aging condition of this person from Yunmen Dance Studio was obviously somewhat strange. He didn't look like a real person. One part of his skin was old, and another part was slightly tender, which made him look a bit creepy.

No wonder these people were so scared.

Wang Yue, somewhat curious, pulled the person next to him and asked, "Who is this person who has turned into such a strange shape? Is it Ji Li?" The person next to him also wanted to gossip, but had no one to talk to. Now that someone had finally asked, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, this is Tian Rui. She used to be a young and beautiful girl, I never imagined she would suddenly look so old!"

Wang Yue was somewhat surprised that Ji Li wasn't the first to age after losing the support of demonic power. He chatted with the man for a while longer before turning back to Dudu and whispering, "It seems this demon really likes Ji Li. Otherwise, it wouldn't have had no effect on Ji Li at all."

Thinking of the resentful women in her original world, Dudu couldn't help but glance at Wang Yue before saying, "Humans are the most heartless. Once a demon falls in love, it's devoted to that person from beginning to end, without any regard for anything else!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue couldn't help but think of the story of Fox Spirit Matchmaker. So many demons went to Tushan to continue their predestined relationships, but there were also many who indiscriminately killed innocent people. Therefore, he bluntly retorted...

"Qu Manniang also developed feelings for Duan Yanqiu, but that didn't stop her from indiscriminately killing innocent people! She even killed Duan Banxia, ​​which shows a complete lack of humanity!"
Therefore, if demons want to integrate into the human world, they must first learn to behave like humans; otherwise, they will inevitably cause trouble sooner or later.

Jiu Xuanye thought what Wang Yue said made a lot of sense, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, that's why some families experience unrest after marrying a monster!"

We demon hunters are here to catch monsters that affect mortals; we don't bother with monsters that live in the forest.

After all, the mountains and forests are where they are accustomed to living, and they have little impact on the places where ordinary people live.

Dudu understood perfectly well that these two people were talking to her. Although she thought it made a lot of sense, she didn't want to lose face.

So, Dudu simply waved her hand and immediately used magic to take Ji Li away.

As for Wang Yue and Jiu Xuanye, she only left them with one sentence: "You two hurry up and catch up. I'll wait for you in the alley behind."

Dudu actually killed quite a few people in the world of Eternal Night Galaxy, and they were all unfaithful men, all because she was betrayed by someone back then!

She didn't care about killing at the time, but after being captured by Wang Yue, she realized that Wang Yue hadn't completely destroyed her, and instead began to reflect on her actions.

Unfortunately, Dudu still doesn't understand humans well enough, so she's still a bit stubborn, but thankfully she's able to listen to advice now.

However, she was only able to hear his opinions because Wang Yue had beaten her into submission back then.

Wang Yue and Jiu Xuanye were unaware that Dudu had already restrained some of her demonic nature. They thought the female demon was just throwing a tantrum, so they could only helplessly follow her over.

When they arrived, they saw Ji Li speaking in a somewhat flustered manner.

"who are you?"

"Why are your skills so similar to Chi Wangchuan's?!"

Dudu looked at the woman and said abruptly, "Chi Wangchuan is dead. He can no longer take care of you. You are free now."

Upon hearing this, Ji Li collapsed to the ground, and said in a flustered manner,

"died?"

"how is this possible?"

"With his strength, who could possibly kill him?"

"I!"

Seeing Wang Yuejiu and Xuan Ye run into the alley, Dudu simply took Ji Li, Wang Yuejiu, and Xuan Ye directly to the Mirror Demon's space.

"This used to be Chi Wangchuan's space, but now it's mine!"

"Are you a mirror spirit too?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Li collapsed to the ground, taking two steps back in a panic and asking.

Seeing Ji Li's strong reaction, Dudu asked curiously, "Why are you reacting like this? You're not afraid of Chi Wangchuan, another spirit, so why are you afraid of me?"

Ji Li hesitated and dared not speak.

Wang Yue knew what Ji Li was worried about, and he said with a smile, "Because she knows that Chi Wangchuan won't kill her, but you might kill him, which is different!"

Upon hearing this, Dudu realized what was happening, and she immediately smiled and said...

"You don't need to be afraid of me. I'm very curious about this world and want to see your opinion on Chi Wangchuan. Just tell the truth and I will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Ji Li was unsure whether Dudu was telling the truth, given how casually she spoke. However, after so many years at the dance studio, she had learned to read people's expressions and demeanor.

Ji Li could tell that Dudu didn't seem to have any murderous intent, but she wasn't sure if Dudu would change her attitude after she refused.
Seeing that the situation was beyond his control, Ji Li very tactfully replied,

"That Chi Wangchuan is extremely controlling. I already have someone I like, but he just won't let me have that!"

Dudu silently lit a candle for the Southern Mirror Demon, and then continued to ask, "Because of that Mirror Demon, you are able to maintain your beautiful appearance. Without the Mirror Demon, you would grow old in a few years."

Are you sure your scholar will continue to admire you?

Ji Li immediately nodded and said, "Of course, I have already asked around. Zhou Lang's mother was originally a singer. He understands my hardships the most and will definitely cherish me in the future."

Wang Yue sighed. It seems that women will always daydream, no matter what. No wonder so many women were later scammed.

Dudu noticed Wang Yue's disdainful expression and couldn't help but ask curiously,

"Why do you look like that? Don't you think that scholar is a good match either?"

Instead of answering the question, Wang Yue smiled and said, "Since we have plenty of time, why don't we observe whether Ji Li and her Zhou Lang can truly make it work?"

Dudu thought that made sense. Her lifespan was almost infinite, so if she wanted to integrate into human society, she naturally needed to learn more about it.

After making her decision, she turned to Ji Li and said, "You can't tell my Zhou Lang about what we agreed on, otherwise I won't mind sending you to reunite with Chi Wangchuan."

"Thank you, Mirror Fairy!"

Ji Li almost instinctively kowtowed excitedly, then she seemed to remember something, and looked at Dudu hesitantly but remained silent.

Dudu was getting impatient and asked bluntly, "What do you want to say? Just say it already."

Ji Li chuckled inwardly. The monster was indeed impatient; she'd fallen for the trap immediately. She quickly feigned a very wronged expression and said…
"Lord Mirror Immortal, actually I signed a 5-year contract with the dance troupe, which expired last month. I originally wanted to get married, but Master He refused to let me go, so I had no choice!"

Seeing that Ji Li had discovered Dudu's personality flaws so quickly, Wang Yue worried that Dudu might start killing someone, so he quickly spoke up.
"Jiu Xuanye, I remember you seem to be quite familiar with Magistrate Shi, the county magistrate of Guangping City. Why don't you go and handle this matter?"

Jiu Xuanye shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. Lord Shi won't help because the real owner of Yunmen Dance Hall is the county magistrate of Guangping City. Miss Ji Li is quite popular, so it's unlikely she'll be accepted!"

Wang Yue also realized what was going on. He thought of Dudu's plan and quickly said with a smile, "How about this, Dudu, do you have a way to make Ji Li age for a few days? As long as Ji Li ages, Master He will definitely release him!"

Upon hearing this, the mirror demon suddenly cast a spell on Ji Li. A pear appeared in her hand, and she played with it, saying...

"Alright, Ji Li, you'll start to age. Come back to me after you've gained your freedom and eat this pear, and you'll return to normal."

Wang Yue was shocked by what he saw.
