I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

The next day.

Qin Yao and Chang'e visited the Ouyang family together, where they not only met Ouyang Shaogong, but also an old woman dressed in simple clothes and wearing a half-face mask...

"Let me introduce you. This is Aunt Tong. She saved my life and is like family to me," Ouyang Shaogong said, pointing to the old woman.

"Hello, Aunt Tong," Chang'e greeted with a smile.

Qin Yao merely nodded slightly, his eyes flickering as he considered whether he could use Aunt Tong to control Ouyang Shaogong.

“Aunt Tong, they are my fellow disciples in Tianyong City: Baili Tusu and Chang Qingxue,” Ouyang Shaogong continued.

Aunt Tong smiled and said, "Hello, the food is ready. Let's go inside."

"Brother Ouyang, Brother Ouyang, we've come to see you." Suddenly, a youthful voice came from the doorway, echoing throughout the courtyard.

Qin Yao, Chang'e, Shao Gong, and Aunt Tong all looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in blue walking quickly towards them, followed by a bright and beautiful woman with a dignified appearance and elegant demeanor. They were clearly siblings.

"Ruqin, Lansheng." Ouyang Shaogong stepped forward to greet them, his face full of smiles.

"Brother Ouyang, you're finally back! My sister has been waiting for you so long she's almost withered," said the boy in blue.

"Lansheng!" Fang Ruqin called out softly.

Fang Lansheng chuckled and immediately changed the subject: "Oh, new friends? Hello, my name is Fang Lansheng."

Ouyang Shaogong immediately introduced the two to each other. Upon hearing that the two were from Tianyong City, Lansheng's eyes lit up and he insisted on learning magic from them until Ruqin gave him a hard knock on the head, after which he calmed down considerably.

In the blink of an eye, at the dinner table, Fang Ruqin asked softly, "Shao Gong, you're not leaving again this time you're back, are you?"

Ouyang Shaogong understood her feelings for him, so he politely declined, saying, "I won't stay in one place for long until I find Xunfang."

Fang Ruqin felt a pang of disappointment and immediately extended a warm invitation to the other party to manage the Fang family clinic.

Ouyang Shaogong couldn't refuse, but he told her to find a doctor to replace him.

Upon seeing this, even Chang'e understood the relationship between the two, and a trace of pity appeared in her gaze as she looked at Fang Ruqin.

Love has always been a difficult thing to overcome, and unrequited love is even more torturous.

But when love becomes so deep, it becomes impossible to see the truth. At best, it becomes a lifelong regret; at worst, only death can bring relief.

half an hour.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves to the fullest. After the banquet, Fang Ruqin carried Fang Lansheng away from the Ouyang residence, while Qin Yao and Chang'e returned to their rented courtyard together.

"On this beautiful day, let me play a tune for you."

Chang'e looked up at the bright moon and suddenly felt inspired to play the zither.

"Alright." Qin Yao waved his sleeve and conjured up a zither platform, then sat down outside the hall in the moonlight.

Chang'e smiled slightly, and with a flick of her hands, she summoned a long zither, gently placed it on the zither stand, and her slender fingers caressed the strings like a gentle breeze.

Watching her bow her head and play the zither, listening to the heavenly music, Qin Yao's thoughts drifted away, recalling a scene from the original drama.

Jitong noticed that Ruqin was fond of Shaogong and told her that Shaogong's beloved zither had a broken string, and only the silk of a thousand-year-old ice silkworm could mend it.

Upon learning this, Ruqin went to search for him and encountered the Flood Dragon Immortal who possessed the Ice Silkworm Silk.

The two played chess and made a bet, with the stakes being Ruqin herself and the Ice Silkworm Silk. Ruqin won, but the Flood Dragon Immortal went back on his word, thus triggering a crisis.

The key point is that, during the crisis, the dragon immortal recounted that he had been banished to the mortal realm by the Heavenly Emperor, who was none other than Fuxi.

However, the background world is too vast, so it wasn't explored in the series, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist...

"What are you thinking?"

When the music ended, Chang'e suddenly noticed that Qin Yao was lost in thought, so she asked him softly.

Qin Yao seemed to wake from a dream, and stood up, saying, "Come with me somewhere?"

"Where?" Chang'e asked curiously.

Wuling Mountain Stream.

In front of the cold pond.

Guided by the four directions of the land, Qin Yao and Chang'e slowly approached, gazing together at the pool water, which appeared even cooler under the moonlight.

At the bottom of the icy pool, the dragon opened its eyes, its gaze rising: "You... are immortals?"

Qin Yao replied, "Yes!"

"Why have you come?" the dragon immortal asked.

Qin Yao said, "I'd like to hear the stories from the past."

"Before?" Jiao Xian was surprised.

Qin Yao paused slightly and asked, "Do you know the story before the era of divine concealment?"

He wanted to verify whether the world he lived in was a emasculated version of the small world, or the vast world that could rival the primordial universe.

The dragon immortal retorted, "Why should I tell you?"

"I can bring you food, drinks, and other necessities as payment," Qin Yao said.

After a moment of silence, the dragon immortal slowly spoke: "I want wine."

Without hesitation, Qin Yao replied, "Three hundred jars!"

"make a deal."

Jiao Xian readily agreed, then asked, "There are many, chaotic, and numerous stories before the era of divine concealment. Which aspects would you like to learn about?"

"The most powerful being, a momentous event in the Three Realms!" Qin Yao outlined the scope.

After thinking for a moment, Jiao Xian said, "Before the era of the hidden gods was the era of the gods. Ji Xuanyuan and Chi You were the protagonists of heaven and earth. In the Battle of Zhuolu, gods and immortals shed blood. With Xuanyuan's victory, the era of gods and humans coexisting came to an end. However, Chi You's demons still existed, retreating to the Demon Realm and lying in wait in the dark."

"Going back further, there was the ancient era, where gods coexisted, each with their own stories. If we were to elaborate, we could talk for three days and three nights and still not finish. It was also during this period that the Seven Fiend Swords of Longyuan appeared out of nowhere, and Youdu was established because of Nuwa."

"Going further back, we come to the ancient times, where Fuxi created the heavenly rules, proclaimed himself the Heavenly Emperor, and governed the order of all living beings in the human world. He was undoubtedly the strongest being."

Before the Primordial Era, there was the Hongmeng Era, where Zhulong appeared first, followed by Pangu and Yinglong.

After Pangu created the world, he died from exhaustion. Zhulong then pulled up Mount Buzhou to support the sky, but also fell into a deep sleep.

Yinglong guards the Heavenly Pillar, never leaving its side; they are all supreme beings at each stage.

Hearing this, Qin Yao was certain that this was a complete world with an extremely perfect creation timeline.

"So, there are no gods left on Earth now?" Chang'e asked.

Jiao Xian said, "It's not that it doesn't exist, it's just that it's hidden and won't be easily discovered."

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts. I will fetch the wine for you after dawn," Qin Yao suddenly promised.

The dragon immortal asked, "I'd like to know, why are you curious about these things?"

Qin Yao smiled and said, "It's just to verify a conjecture."

Jiao Immortal: "..."

The next day.

As dawn broke, Qin Yao set off with Chang'e to a nearby tavern to buy wine.

After they left, Fang Ruqin came here alone and called out to the Dragon Immortal.

Seeing her extraordinary beauty, the dragon immortal transformed into human form and asked in a deep voice, "What business do you have with me?"

"I've heard that the immortals have thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk here, and I'd like to barter with them," Fang Ruqin said.

The immortal dragon examined her face and suddenly laughed: "I already have the fine wine, now all I need is a beautiful woman to accompany me."

"If you are willing to offer yourself as my pillow, let alone thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk, I can even grant you a long life."

Fang Ruqin chuckled dryly and shook her head, saying, "Immortal Jiao, you jest. I am but a mortal; how could I be worthy of you?"

The Flood Dragon Immortal's smile faltered slightly. "Then what can you offer in exchange?" he asked. "Gold and silver, jewels, fine clothes, and delicious food," Fang Ruqin replied. "What do you want?"

The Flood Dragon Immortal shook his head: "I don't want any of what you've said. Or, if you find me an absolutely beautiful woman, I might consider giving you ice silkworm silk."

Fang Ruqin: "..."

Seeing her expression constantly changing, the Flood Dragon Immortal suddenly summoned a chessboard in the stone pavilion with a flick of his sleeve: "Or, let's play a game of chess. If you can beat me, I will give you ice silkworm silk."

Fang Ruqin took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

half an hour.

Ouyang Mansion

Ouyang Shaogong suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. He quickly calculated with his fingers and his body instantly turned into light and disappeared.

"I won." Inside the stone pavilion in front of the pool, Fang Ruqin said with a face full of joy.

"Best of five," said the Flood Dragon Immortal.

Fang Ruqin's expression changed drastically: "How could you do this?"

"How dare you question me!" Jiao Xian snorted coldly and immediately reached for the other party's collar.

"Oh!"

Ouyang Shaogong arrived just in time and struck Jiao Xian's hand hard with a folding fan.

The dragon immortal winced in pain, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "Who are you, daring to ruin my plans!"

Just as Ouyang Shaogong was about to speak, he suddenly sensed Qin Yao and Chang'e's presence and said, "If you want to hurt her, kill me first."

"You think I can't kill you?"

Enraged, the dragon immortal transformed into a gigantic body, instantly terrifying Fang Ruqin.

"Stop!" Qin Yao, accompanied by Chang'e, arrived through the air and suddenly shouted.

The dragon immortal raised his head: "This matter has nothing to do with you."

The two landed in front of Ouyang Shaogong, and Qin Yao said in a deep voice, "They are our friends."

Jiao Immortal: "..."

In his silence, Qin Yao waved his sleeve and released three hundred jars of wine:
"You have two choices now. First, take these three hundred jars of wine back; second, get beaten up by us and then take these wines back."

Sensing the increasingly powerful aura emanating from him, the Flood Dragon Immortal finally backed down, transforming back into human form and putting away the wine: "Don't let me see you again."

"Wait a minute," Ouyang Shaogong suddenly said.

Jiao Xian's expression tightened: "What else do you want?"

"I know your story."

As Ouyang Shaogong spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a golden pill: "This is the Dream Soul Pill, which can make you see the scene you most want to see in your dreams."

"Dream Soul Pill? What if it's some kind of poison pill?" The Flood Dragon Immortal was skeptical.

Ouyang Shaogong pointed at Qin Yao and said, "If we really wanted to harm you, he alone would be enough; by the way, I forgot to tell you, his name is Baili Tusu, also known as the Demon-Slaying True Lord."

Jiao Xian gasped, "You are the Demon-Slaying True Lord?"

Qin Yao responded, "I am Baili Tusu."

Jiao Xian paused slightly, then looked at Ouyang Shaogong: "What price do I need to pay to obtain this pill?"

“Ice silkworm silk,” Ouyang Shaogong said succinctly.

After hesitating for a moment, the Flood Dragon Immortal finally took out fifty strands of ice silkworm silk and tossed them to the other party in mid-air.

After receiving the silk thread, Ouyang Shaogong also threw out the pill.

The Flood Dragon Immortal, holding the elixir in his palm, suddenly said to Qin Yao:

"Some lids cannot be opened, otherwise you might not be able to stop the monsters that rush out."

Having said that, he suddenly jumped back into the icy pool and disappeared from the four people's sight.

"What does he mean by that?" Ouyang Shaogong asked, glancing sideways.

Qin Yao shrugged: "Who knows?"

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

This guy is becoming more and more mysterious.

"I'm so sorry, I originally wanted to win the Ice Silkworm Silk, but I didn't expect to get you all to save me." In the silence, Fang Ruqin said shyly.

Ouyang Shaogong asked in a deep voice, "Ruqin, why did you come here to look for ice silkworm silk?"

"I want to find the finest silk in the world to make strings for your zither," Fang Ruqin said softly.

Ouyang Shaogong said helplessly, "Don't do this again. I'm not worth it."

Seeing the two of them like this, Qin Yao silently took Chang'e's hand and said, "We'll be leaving now. Shao Gong, you take Miss Ruqin home."

Ouyang Shaogong nodded, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I will definitely pay a visit later to thank you both for your help!"

"We're all fellow disciples, no need to be so polite."

Qin Yao smiled and immediately departed with Chang'e in a burst of light.

Fang Ruqin then realized, "Shao Gong, are they cultivators or immortals?"

If the two were flying on swords, she could understand it, since legendary sword cultivators could fly on swords.

But the idea of ​​being able to transform into a rainbow and leave without any external force was truly unimaginable to him.

Ouyang Shaogong paused slightly, then said softly, "It's definitely a deity, but I don't know exactly what kind. Let's go, I'll take you home..."

That evening.

Carrying two jars of wine, Ouyang Shaogong arrived as promised, smiling as he said to the two men before him, "Do you have any food at home? If not, you can come to my place for a drink."

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Just have the restaurant send it over."

“I’ll go,” Chang’e said immediately.

Qin Yao shook his head, created an avatar, and quickly flashed out of the courtyard.

Ouyang Shaogong's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile, "Senior Brother Tu Su, may I be so bold as to ask what realm you are in now?"

Qin Yao responded, "I don't know either, mainly because there's no benchmark, but I doubt many people could withstand one of my sword strikes."

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

"By the way, could you do me a favor?" Qin Yao suddenly asked.

Ouyang Shaogong said solemnly, "Please tell me, and I will do my best to help you with anything I can do."

Qin Yao smiled and said, "I want you to help me seal the sword spirit within me, preferably permanently."

Ouyang Shaogong looked utterly astonished: "Me? Can I do it?"

“Of course,” Qin Yao said. “I can sense that your power has a restraining effect on the sword spirit.”

Ouyang Shaogong remained silent for a moment, but ultimately could not find a reason to refuse: "Alright, I will do my best."

A short while later.

Qin Yao sat cross-legged in the courtyard, and Ouyang Shaogong sat opposite him in the same posture. The two pressed their palms together, and their immortal energy flowed and gathered together, rushing towards the sword spirit in the ancestral aperture.

The sword spirit was shocked and desperately mobilized the surrounding evil energy to condense shields in front of it.

However, under the combined immortal energy of Qin Yao and Shao Gong, these shields were almost completely ineffective. The once invincible sword spirit was quickly and tightly bound, gradually transforming from its demonic body into the shape of a sword... (End of Chapter)
