I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Could you give me a chance to prove myself?"

After bidding farewell to the worried Kuang Tianyou, Ma Xiaoling strode into the school and suddenly turned to ask him a question.

Qin Yao asked in surprise, "What are you trying to show?"

"When I'm with you fighting demons, I feel like I'm just an insignificant person," Ma Xiaoling sighed.

The battle with Sadako was an experience that left an indelible mark on her.

To put it bluntly, she had expected it to be an epic battle, and had prepared for it.

But after they met, Qin Yao burned Sadako alive. The huge contrast made her feel deeply inferior for a moment!
Qin Yao pursed his lips and asked, "How about next time?"

The moment he arrived, he pinpointed the source of the trouble and learned the identity of the perpetrator.

This person... or rather, this ghost, is named Peter, also known as Romeo. His main identity in the story is Jiang Zhenzu's rival in love, who is also known as Jiang Chen. He once told Jiang Chen to his face, "With me here, there is absolutely no possibility between you and Ma Dingdang."

Then, Jiang Chen, who didn't tolerate him at all, forcibly extracted his soul and threw it into the mirror. It wasn't until now that it was unsealed, but he had completely become a mirror ghost.

Since it is a mirror ghost, it must be able to travel between the real world and the mirror world. On the road to the "main mirror", there is a whole mirror passage. With Ma Xiaoling's strength, unless she releases a dragon outside the passage to shatter all the mirrors, she cannot get through it.

The problem is, the Ma family's divine dragon isn't a spirit pet; it's an exorcising technique. The mirror doesn't possess any evil attributes, so it's hard to say whether it can be broken...

"No!"

As they walked, Ma Xiaoling decisively refused: "I don't know when the next time will be, and I don't want to keep thinking about this."

Helpless, Qin Yao could only tell the truth: "Excuse my bluntness, but you probably can't handle it."

“That’s the real challenge,” Ma Xiaoling insisted.

"Alright." Qin Yao smiled, raised his hand, and pushed open a door: "This time, I'll protect you!"

During their conversation, the two walked into the teaching building together and climbed the stairs until they arrived at a corridor covered with mirrors...

"This place is a bit eerie."

Looking at the mirrors on both sides of the wall and even above her head, Ma Xiaoling's gaze narrowed slightly.

Qin Yao raised his hand and pointed ahead: "The source of the trouble is in the room at the end of the corridor, and this mirrored corridor is a formidable fortress guarding the main mirror."

Ma Xiaoling swung her demon-subduing staff: "You stay here and don't move. I'll go and try to break through."

Qin Yao nodded: "If you can't handle it, just call me, and I'll take care of everything for you."

Ma Xiaoling: "..."

A moment later, with an unwavering determination, she strode into the mirrored corridor. After taking three steps, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind her, reaching out to grab her neck.

Ma Xiaoling suddenly turned around and fiercely swung the Demon-Subduing Staff in her hand, but there was nothing in front of her. Instead, a black foot appeared behind her and kicked her hard in the back.

"Sigh~"

With difficulty, Ma Xiaoling steadied herself and gasped, realizing that she had to destroy the mirrors. She then swung her demon-subduing staff and smashed it hard against the wall on one side.

With a bang, the Demon-Subduing Staff successfully achieved its intended goal, but the broken mirror did not fall to the ground. Instead, countless arms stretched out from the cracks, constantly grabbing at Ma Xiaoling.

Ma Xiaoling strongly suspected it was an illusion, but dared not gamble on the consequences of being grabbed by these hands. So she waved her demon-subduing staff and kept hitting the hands, but ended up getting kicked solidly again, this time falling to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, punches and kicks rained down on her. Ma Xiaoling was almost driven mad with anger. She suddenly released the Ma Family Divine Dragon, clearing away all the arms, but she still couldn't defend against the sneak attacks from the shadows.

"I'm so angry! Qin Yao!!!"

Outside the mirrored corridor, Qin Yao, hearing the shouts, slowly raised his palm and used the laws of space and time to directly imprison the corridor in front of him, except for Ma Xiaoling...

"If you want to vent, you can smash whatever you want now."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling endured the excruciating pain and got up, smashing the mirrors on both sides of the corridor repeatedly until they were knocked off the walls, finally managing to vent her anger.

"Phew...that feels much better. Let's keep going."

After venting her emotions, she exhaled a breath of stale air and turned to look at her companion who had somehow appeared nearby, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Qin Yao nodded and quickly led her to the storage room, stopping in front of a large standing mirror: "All the missing people are in this mirror. Shall you do it, or shall I?"

“You do it,” Ma Xiaoling said dejectedly. “You’re right, I really can’t handle it.”

"Don't be discouraged, this guy is just a bit special."

Qin Yao offered a word of comfort, then looked at himself in the mirror: "I know you've had a tough time too. Now I'll give you a chance to be free. Release all the hostages, and I'll send you to reincarnation."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Yao's figure in the mirror suddenly responded, "I don't want to go through reincarnation, I want revenge, I want to kill Jiang Zhenzu!"

Qin Yao shook his head: "You can't kill him. The difference between you is like a drop of water compared to the ocean."

“I am no longer the Peter I used to be. I am now the Mirror Ghost, the Mirror Demon.”

"Is this Jiang Zhenzu's punishment of you out of jealousy something to be proud of?" Qin Yao asked.

“How do you know this is punishment? You know Jiang Zhenzu, did he tell you?” Peter roared.

Qin Yao said, "I do know him, but he didn't tell me about this..."

Enough with the small talk. I'll say it one last time: release all the teachers and students, and I'll send you to reincarnation.

"impossible."

Peter, filled with resentment, said, "I will pull all the people in the world into my mirror world to serve me, and then I will become the god of all mankind..."

"It's a pity you're not destined for that." Qin Yao was too lazy to listen to his grand ideals. He grabbed the mirror with his bare hand, and the laws of space and time flowed, directly sucking Peter's soul out of the mirror.

Peter was stunned.

This guy……

How did you do it?
While Peter was still in a daze, Qin Yao slowly drew a circle with his other hand, opening a dimensional gate leading to hell, and then threw Peter in like trash.

Seeing the ghostly messengers rushing towards him, Peter was terrified and hurriedly flew towards the circular portal that was constantly spewing golden sparks. But when he arrived at the portal, it suddenly disappeared.

"Do not!!!"

……

Inside the school, in the storage room, Ma Xiaoling let out a soft sigh: "I give up."

Qin Yao chuckled but didn't say much. Instead, he raised his hand and pressed it against the main mirror. The mirror immediately transformed into a portal, revealing Wang Zhenzhen and a group of teachers and students on the other side.

"Come out quickly, this mirror world is about to collapse."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenzhen's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly called her colleagues and students to walk out of the mirror corridor and return to the real world.

"Zhenzhen," Ma Xiaoling called out with a smile.

"Xiao Ling."

Wang Zhenzhen's face was filled with a smile as if she had survived a disaster, and she ran towards the other person.

But at that moment, a figure in white suddenly appeared out of thin air behind Ma Xiaoling. With a flash, a transparent barrier appeared in front of Zhenzhen. Ma Xiaoling was startled and instinctively tried to distance herself from the person beside her, only to find that she had lost control of her body…

In front of the main mirror, Qin Yao, who had just closed the mirror channel, turned around and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

“Nuwa needs pure souls.” Jiang Chen said indifferently, “Within three days, you must find me 100 pure souls in the human world, and I will return Ma Xiaoling to you; by the way, our address on Hong Kong Island is No. 5 Moonlight Street Building.”

Before Qin Yao could respond, he and Ma Xiaoling disappeared from the spot.

Wang Zhenzhen stared blankly for a long time before looking at Qin Yao with icy hands and feet: "What do you mean by 100 pure souls?"

“That’s a hundred lives, the lives of good people,” Qin Yao replied.

Wang Zhenzhen: "..."

She thought of the prefix in the condition: to search for pure souls in the human world... This was clearly forcing Qin Yao to kill people, to exchange a hundred lives for Xiao Ling.

"Zhenzhen, are you alright?" In the eerie silence, Kuang Tianyou suddenly appeared in front of the storage room and shouted loudly.

He was waiting outside the school when he unexpectedly saw a streak of light enter the school. Worried that something had happened to Ma Xiaoling and Wang Zhenzhen, he impulsively ran in after them.

“I’m fine, but Xiaoling…” Wang Zhenzhen said with a worried expression.

“Xiaoling will be fine too,” Qin Yao suddenly interrupted.

Wang Zhenzhen: "..."

"You came just in time."

Qin Yao turned to Kuang Tianyou and instructed, "You and Zhenzhen should contact the students' parents as soon as possible and take care of the children first."

Wang Zhenzhen couldn't help but ask, "Master Qin, you will save Xiaoling, won't you?"

Qin Yao remained noncommittal, took a step forward, and instantly disappeared from the storage room...

Two days later.

Anxious and worried, Kuang Tianyou went to Zhenzhen's house and grabbed her arms, asking, "Why hasn't Xiaoling come back yet?"

Wang Zhenzhen looked helpless: "I don't know either..."

“But you know what happened,” Kuang Tianyou said urgently. “Tell me what happened!”

Seeing his anxious expression, Wang Zhenzhen suddenly asked, "Were you this anxious when I went missing?"

Kuang Tianyou: "..."

After realizing that he had silently let go of her, Wang Zhenzhen sighed with mixed feelings, and then recounted everything she had heard and seen.

“No. 5 Moonlight Street, I’ll go back to the police station to find someone to help me,” Kuang Tianyou said, turning around.

Watching the other person stride away, Wang Zhenzhen knew her hunch was right: her boyfriend actually preferred her best friend...

Before they knew it, evening had arrived. Kuang Tianyou, who had been searching all afternoon with more than ten men, finally resigned himself to his fate. Moonlight Street was not a place that could be found by conventional means. The only solution lay with Qin Yao.

Therefore, after thanking his colleagues, he rushed back to Jiajia Building and ran to Qin Yao's door. After hesitating for a long time, he mustered up his courage and knocked on the door.

A moment later, Uncle Nine opened the door from the inside and asked with a smile, "Is there something you need?"

Kuang Tianyou chuckled dryly: "Ninth Uncle, is Qin Yao home?"

"It's in his room." Uncle Nine stepped aside and said, "Come in."

Inside the bedroom, Qin Yao pushed open the door and looked at Kuang Tianyou, who was standing pale-faced beside the sofa: "What is it?"

"Have you... collected souls?" Kuang Tianyou swallowed hard and asked nervously.

Qin Yao shook his head: "No."

"It's almost time," Kuang Tianyou said urgently.

"So what? To save Ma Xiaoling, you have to harm a hundred good people?" Qin Yao asked seriously.

Kuang Tianyou and Wang Zhenzhen never really thought about why Jiang Chen would do such a thing.

If it's truly a matter of lacking those hundred pure souls, Jiang Chen himself cannot do it.

Let alone himself, any one of the Five Colored Divine Envoys could have completed the task in a morning. Why would he need Ma Xiaoling to force him to take action?

Therefore, this is an extreme test of humanity. Judging from the original plot, it is highly likely that Jiang Chen and Nuwa made a huge gamble on humanity. If he really slaughtered a hundred people to save Ma Xiaoling, then Jiang Chen would definitely lose!
“I understand what you mean… but we can’t just do nothing.” Kuang Tianyou clenched his fists and said with his eyes lowered.

Never before had he felt such deep resentment towards his own incompetence as he did now.

But he was really out of options. He couldn't even find Moonlight Street, let alone save Ma Xiaoling!

"How do you know I didn't do anything?" Qin Yao shook his head, raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Go back, trust me."

at the same time.

Inside a building that looked exactly like the Jiajia Building, Nuwa stood in front of a wall that peered into Qin Yao's living room, and turned to look at Jiang Chen: "What did he do?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I don't know."

Nuwa slowly narrowed her eyes: "The person you chose is very interesting."

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "There aren't many people in this world that I can't see through, but he's one of them."

Nuwa turned her head again and looked at a corner of the room.

There, a woman with long, flowing hair and wearing a white dress was guarding Ma Xiaoling while maintaining the existence of this space-time.

"It seems that in his heart, you are not as important as 100 strangers."

"I'm glad he didn't go on a killing spree for me." Ma Xiaoling looked at Nuwa without fear: "But you, you shattered all my good impressions of Nuwa. You are not worthy of the title of Mother Earth!"

Nuwa smiled and said, "You don't understand..."

“I don’t understand why you’re so stubborn, insisting on punishing everyone for the evil of a few, like wiping out the entire ant colony just because a child was bitten by an ant,” Ma Xiaoling said.

Nuwa didn't want to explain herself too much, and instead said to Jiang Chen, "I'm not very satisfied with this result."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Then how can I convince you?"

"Perhaps Ma Xiaoling is not important to him at all, which is why he would not kill for her."

"Go find him again and tell him that as long as he is willing to let go of all his defenses, accept your seal, return to being a mortal, and endure the suffering of reincarnation for countless lifetimes, I will release Ma Xiaoling," Nuwa instructed.

Ma Xiaoling's expression changed drastically, and she roared, "No! How can you be so vicious? Are you even human?"

Nuwa calmly said, "Bai Xinmei, seal her mouth. I don't want to hear her speak anymore."

Beside Ma Xiaoling, the thousand-year-old fox demon formed a hand seal, instantly sealing her lips and rendering her unable to make any sound.

Jiang Chen glanced at Ma Xiaoling, then his body vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of Qin Yao's house, gently knocking on the door.

At this very moment, the wall in front of Nuwa was still displaying live footage of Qin Yao's living room... (End of Chapter)
