I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Whoosh!"

Inside the clean room, as countless hands rapidly emerged from the ground, frantically grabbing at Chang'e's ankles, the Azure Nether Sword suddenly flew out, carrying a long sword beam, sweeping across all the wrists.

The severed hand trembled on the ground for a moment before turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating.

Chang'e looked surprised, and then saw the divine sword heavily planted in the ground, forcibly breaking the formation and freeing her body.

Outside the clean room, among the coral reefs.

Ninglu, who was hiding there, coughed up blood, her eyes filled with resentment.

What's the deal with that sword?
Even if a divine artifact possesses a spirit, it wouldn't be this powerful!
In fact, not only Ninglu had this question, but Chang'e, the person involved, also had it.

Therefore, when faced with the Azure Sword flying back on its own initiative, she did not reach out to accept it, but instead asked solemnly, "Who are you?"

"I am Ye Hua." A voice suddenly responded from within the sword.

"Ye Hua?"

Chang'e was taken aback, then asked, "How did you end up inside the sword?"

Ye Hua explained, "The thirty-six wildfires and nine heavenly lightning bolts nearly destroyed my primordial spirit. In order to repair the damage to my primordial spirit, I separated my primordial spirit from my body and entered the sword, using the divine sword to nourish my spirit."

Chang'e paused slightly, then asked, "What's the story behind the Azure Sword recognizing me as its master?"

Ye Hua said, "It's probably because you have the power to help me nurture my spirit, so when the sword spirit sensed this power, it locked onto you in the crowd."

Chang'e: "..."

That answer was impeccable.

After all, both the Yin energy within her soul and the heart blood of the immortal fox within her body could nourish her primordial spirit and repair its damage.

While he remained silent, Ye Hua continued in a pleading tone, "Lord Siyin, I cannot let outsiders know that I was severely injured by the Wildfire and Heavenly Lightning. Otherwise, the various branches of the Heavenly Clan will look down on me, and my image in their hearts will be instantly reversed. So, please help me and don't tell anyone about this."

Chang'e pursed her lips and said seriously, "I can keep this from others, but you must tell my master."

"Absolutely not."

Ye Hua hurriedly said, "If God Mo Yuan finds out about this, he will most likely do everything in his power to help me heal my injuries, but I really don't want to owe him any more favors."

Chang'e waved her hand and said, "It's alright. If he insists on helping you, I'll persuade him to stop."

Ye Hua: "..."

Speechless, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said pitifully, "Not wanting to owe others favors is secondary; more importantly, I don't want a second person to know that I'm in such a sorry state. It's very embarrassing. Lord Siyin, please help me save face."

For some reason, he felt a sense of dread towards Mo Yuan, his "elder brother."

And his intuition told him that if the other party found out about this, the Heavenly Emperor's plan would definitely collapse.

Therefore, at this moment, he can only use morality to restrain Bai Qian and prevent the worst from happening.

However, Chang'e was not Bai Qian. Faced with Ye Hua's moral blackmail, she said almost without hesitation, "Then you can leave."

"Leave?" Ye Hua asked in surprise.

“I don’t want to hide anything from my master, nor do I want to share any secrets with you. If you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened,” Chang’e replied.

Ye Hua: "..."

In a daze, he suddenly realized that Bai Qian probably had feelings for Mo Yuan that went beyond the master-disciple relationship.

"What, you don't want to leave? Then I'll leave!" Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Chang'e turned around and walked away decisively.

Ye Hua seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly followed: "I'll let you speak, but please help me plead with God Mo Yuan to allow me to stay by your side."

Chang'e led him out of the purification chamber and asked in confusion, "Why do you insist on staying by my side?"

“It’s the sword spirit that wants to stay by your side,” Ye Hua said. “In other words, you have an extraordinary attraction for the sword spirit…”

During the conversation, the man and his sword returned to the palace, only to find that his drunken master (the High God) had already sobered up and was now sitting at the table drinking tea. The faint aroma of tea wafted through the air, making one's mouth water.

"Greetings, God Mo Yuan."

Seeing this, Ye Hua was the first to call out.

Qin Yao pretended not to know and asked, "Ye Hua? What's this?"

Chang'e then explained everything she knew about the cause and effect, leaving nothing out and concealing nothing.

"So, the dew also has a big problem..." Qin Yao murmured after listening.

Chang'e nodded: "We can investigate her matter later. The most urgent thing is to figure out how to solve Ye Hua's problem; if all else fails, we can keep him by my side for now?"

"No way!" Qin Yao refused decisively.

He knew all too well that Ye Hua used a self-inflicted injury ruse to pursue the mortal Su Su in the original drama.

To put it bluntly, it's about pretending to be seriously injured, taking advantage of the other person's kindness to get them to take care of you, and over time, feelings slowly develop.

It now seems that Ye Hua also had this idea, trying to stay by Chang'e's side through a self-inflicted injury, thus successfully interfering in her life.

That being said, although I am now parasitizing Mo Yuan, I cannot accept the situation where Mo Yuan wakes up to find his beloved has become his sister-in-law!
"What concerns does Your Majesty have about this?" Ye Hua asked immediately.

Qin Yao's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he said indifferently, "My concerns are your purpose; Ye Hua, do we need to explain ourselves further?"

Ye Hua was shocked, a chill running down his spine.

How did he know?
Could it be that he's trying to fool me?
Just as he was hesitating whether to be stubborn, Qin Yao spoke again: "Go back. For the sake of our shared mother and the Celestial Clan, I will pretend this never happened."

But I must also warn you, and the Heavenly Ruler behind you, that this is a one-time exception, and there will be no next time.

If you ever dare to scheme against me again, or even against me, the people of Kunlun Mountain, don't blame me for turning against you. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Ye Hua was speechless and could only ride away on the Qingming Sword like a spoiled dog.

"What was his purpose?" Chang'e asked instinctively after watching the sword disappear into the distance.

"What else could it be?" Qin Yao asked back.

Chang'e asked thoughtfully, "What about the condensed dew? Can you guess what it is?"

Qin Yao pondered, "She's most likely after me, but she's very careful. She ran away as soon as she sensed something was wrong."

Chang'e couldn't help but sigh, "The four seas and eight wastelands have been peaceful for seventy thousand years, but trouble is about to arise again..."

A short while later.

The two walked out of the dormitory together, only to see Shao Xin carrying an infant and walking in the garden. Upon seeing them, he hurried over and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, Your Highness."

Chang'e peeked into the swaddling clothes of the baby and said with a smile, "What an adorable little one, have you named him yet?"

Shao Xin nodded: "Sang Ji gave him a name, Yuan Zhen."

Qin Yao's eyelids twitched, and upon closer inspection, he indeed saw a calamity looming over the child.

"My Lord, when he grows up, may we send him to Kunlun Mountain to learn from you?" Shao Xin asked with a hopeful expression.

Qin Yao waved his hand: "There is no master-disciple relationship between him and me."

Shao Xin was immediately disappointed, but forced a smile and said, "It's just that this child is unlucky."

Qin Yao shook his head, took out a peach charm with a flip of his hand, and gently placed it on the swaddling clothes: "He is destined to face a calamity, so I will give him this peach charm in the hope that it will help him avert disaster."

Upon hearing this, Shao Xin could no longer care about her disappointment and hurriedly asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, what exactly is this calamity?"

"You can't see clearly, but you can see that there's no danger to your life, so you don't need to worry too much," Qin Yao reassured him.

In his destiny, Yuan Zhen was repeatedly framed by Su Jin, but now Su Jin seems to have disappeared, and he can't say where Yuan Zhen's calamity will occur. Thinking of this, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, connecting Su Jin's disappearance with the equally missing Ning Lu, and a sliver of understanding arose in his heart…

The vast North Sea.

An unnamed, desolate mountain.

Ninglu stood at the highest point of the mountain, gazing at the endless sea, her face and figure gradually returning to their plain form.

After an unknown amount of time, she summoned a demonic blade with a flick of her wrist. Looking at the chilling demonic energy swirling around the blade, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Because of the arranged marriage with the fox clan, she can no longer return to the Heavenly Court.

She couldn't go to the Winged Clan either, fearing it would cause the mission to fail.

So now, all she has left is this Zanpakuto...

Thinking of this, a crazy idea suddenly came to her mind. She then transformed into a rainbow and headed straight for the Merfolk.

half an hour.

Merfolk tribe.

The merfolk leader took the Zanpakuto from his hand and asked in confusion, "This sacred artifact was originally stolen by Qing Cang, how did it end up in your hands?"

Su Jin knelt on the ground, her eyes lowered: "Qing Cang snatched the sword to kill Mo Yuan, and I was the one he chose to wield it."

However, I was too frightened to act, and I dared not go back to see Qing Cang. After much thought, I decided to return the knife, hoping that you would grant me one request.

"What is it?" the merman leader asked.

Su Jin raised her head slightly: "Use the Zanpakuto to extract the Demon Heart Gu that Qing Cang planted in my primordial spirit!"

half a month later.

After waiting and waiting, Qing Cang grew increasingly furious when he still hadn't received a reply from Su Jin. He immediately sat cross-legged in his palace, preparing to activate the Demon Heart Gu to force this proud daughter of heaven to obediently crawl over and report back.

But just as he was casting the spell remotely, he couldn't sense the presence of the Demon Heart Gu anymore, and he suddenly shuddered.

What about Gu?

Could it be that Su Jin's carelessness allowed Mo Yuan to see through her?
But the problem is, if that's the case, wouldn't the Zanpakuto that I went through so much trouble, even risking serious injury, to snatch from the Merfolk also fall into Mo Yuan's hands?

Realizing this, he even broke out in a cold sweat and unconsciously paced back and forth in the dormitory.

"Greetings, Father."

Just as he was becoming increasingly anxious, his second son, Li Jing, suddenly spoke from outside the door.

Qing Cang composed himself and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

"I have a request," Li Jing replied respectfully.

"Speak!" Qing Cang said bluntly, not in the mood for any nonsense.

Li Jing said, "Over the past 70,000 years, I have trained 30,000 elite soldiers. I hope to exchange these 30,000 elite soldiers for Xuan Nu's freedom."

Qing Cang: "..."

He knew about Li Jing's training of troops and thought that his two sons had become ambitious, but he didn't expect it was still for the sake of a woman!

"Father, Xuan Nu was imprisoned because of me, and this is a knot in my heart." After a moment of silence, Li Jing spoke again: "Father, please grant me this request and resolve this knot in my heart."

Qing Cang pursed his lips and said, "Go and hand over the military command. I will release Xuan Nu as soon as possible."

Li Jing was overjoyed and quickly bowed and left.

After watching his figure disappear, Qing Cang rushed to the water prison and looked at the filthy woman in the cell, asking, "Do you want to get out?"

"Yes, I want to go out."

Xuan Nu couldn't wait to get to the prison gate, and a stench immediately hit Qing Cang's face.

Suppressing his disgust, Qing Cang coldly asked, "Then do you want to become the Second Prince's consort?"

Xuan Nu was stunned, and asked in a daze, "Second Prince's Consort? I... I still have a chance?"

Years of imprisonment not only eroded her ambition but also made her feel inferior and sensitive.

“Of course, as long as you can do one thing for me,” Qing Cang said.

"What is it?" Xuan Nu's heart, which had been dead still, suddenly started beating faster, and she asked almost impatiently.

Qing Cang smiled slightly: "Use your relationship with the Fox Clan's Crown Princess Wei Shu to bring Qingqiu's most beloved little princess back to the Great Purple Palace."

Xuan Nu: "..."

If she really did such a thing, she would undoubtedly be cutting herself off from the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Even her sister, Wei Shu, would no longer recognize her and would even regard her as an enemy.

"Two paths: one leads to the position of Crown Princess, second only to the Emperor; the other leads back to the dark, filthy, and stinking water prison. Which one should you choose? Why hesitate?" Qing Cang tempted.

Xuan Nu gritted her teeth and solemnly said, "I'll go!"

time flies.

Two months later.

On this day, Qin Yao and Chang'e were on their way back to Kunlun Mountain when a divine bird suddenly descended from the sky, revealing Bai Zhen's figure.

"Fourth Brother?" Chang'e asked in surprise.

Bai Zhen nodded slightly, then bowed to Qin Yao and said, "Greetings, God Mo Yuan."

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities... Judging from your expression, has something happened in Qingqiu?"

Bai Zhen took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "Princess Feng Jiu of Qingqiu is missing."

Qin Yao: "..."

His first reaction wasn't that Feng Jiu was in danger, but that Feng Jiu had been kidnapped by Dong Hua.

After all, in the original drama, Feng Jiu was deeply in love with Donghua Dijun, and even cut off her tail to carve the Three Lives Stone for him.

"Could it be that she's been playing around and gone off somewhere to have some fun?" Chang'e asked.

Bai Zhen shook his head: "Even if Feng Jiu is immature, she won't forget her second sister-in-law's birthday. So, I've come to see God Mo Yuan. Do you have a way to locate someone even when they are sealed away?"

Qin Yao asked slowly, "Do you have any of Feng Jiu's personal belongings on you?"

"No."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Bai Zhen's heart: "If we have her personal belongings, can we find her location?"

"I can only say there's a certain possibility," Qin Yao responded.

“Then I’ll go back to Qingqiu to get it!” Bai Zhen said decisively.

Qin Yao waved his hand: "You give me directions, I'll take you there."

Saving lives is like putting out a fire; no matter how fast this divine bird flies, it can't outrun his somersault cloud.

Not long after.

Qingqiu Kingdom.

When the three arrived at the heart of the bamboo forest, they found the Fox Emperor, the Fox Queen, and Bai Qian's three god-brothers sitting around a stone table. On the table lay a letter, faintly emanating a ghostly aura… (End of Chapter)
