I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Because this sword is equivalent to countless Heartbreak Pills, making it extremely precious," Qin Yao said with a smile.

Ah Hong suddenly moved closer to him and said seriously, "I want you to promise me that you will never use this sword on me."

"How could I use this sword on you?" Qin Yao shook his head repeatedly.

"Promise me!" Ah Hong insisted.

Qin Yao sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, I promise you."

“I swear that if you use this sword on me, I, Hong’er, will suffer a terrible death,” Ah Hong said.

Qin Yao's lips twitched: "Isn't it a bit too ruthless?"

“If I don’t be ruthless, I’m afraid you’ll change your mind; only by adding this curse will it have any binding force on you,” Ah Hong said.

Qin Yao had no choice but to do as she said, solemnly swearing an oath and at the same time giving up any such thoughts in his heart.

The reason is simple: with his quasi-saint level strength, an oath could easily become a curse.

He hasn't even repaid Ah Hong's kindness yet, how could he bear to see her suffer a terrible death?
the other side.

When Qi Xiao fled back to Jinshan Temple, he found the temple bustling with activity. A group of young monks surrounded a senior monk dressed in a brocade robe, bombarding him with all sorts of questions.

"Alright, alright, you can take turns looking at the Buddha's relics."

The senior monk also saw him out of the corner of his eye. He then handed the wooden box in his hand to the nearest junior monk, strode out of the crowd, and went straight to him.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Yong'an." Qi Xiao bowed respectfully.

Yong'an nodded slightly and asked, "What's wrong with you? You not only look flustered, but you also have a demonic aura about you!"

Qi Xiao remained silent for a moment, then asked instead of answering, "May I ask, Uncle-Master, how can we prevent humans and demons from falling in love?"

Yong'an said, "Slay the demon!"

Qi Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What if humans took the initiative first?"

"We should still slay the demon."

Yong'an said, "The reason is simple: a demon that can take human form can break off the relationship at any time unless there are special circumstances."

To be able to interrupt but not to is to harm others.

Of course, special circumstances should be considered separately.

Qi Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.

"How strong is that demon?" Yong'an asked while it remained silent.

Qi Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know, but that person's strength far surpasses mine."

Yong'an slowly narrowed his eyes: "Then they should not get together, otherwise they will give birth to a scourge, which will at least affect the people of the area."

Wherever they are, I will take the Buddha's relics and go to separate them.

Qi Xiao said, "Uncle-Master, the strength of that human and demon is unpredictable, or perhaps..."

Yong'an interrupted, saying, "With the Buddha's relics here, unless that person is a Celestial King and that demon is a Demon Emperor, there's no way they can stop me from subduing the demon. Nephew, just tell me where they are."

Qi Xiao took a deep breath and said, "The Bai Mansion by West Lake."

Yong'an nodded, returned to the group of monks, and snatched the Buddha's relic from their hands: "I'm going to take this treasure out for a while, and I'll show it to you all when I get back."

Qi Xiao said, "Uncle-Master, I'll go with you!"

Yong'an decisively refused: "No need, you can wait for me to return in the temple."

Qi Xiao: "..."

A short while later.

After watching the other person leave, he and his fellow disciples chatted idly in the courtyard while waiting.

Before they knew it, it was past midnight. Many of the fellow disciples were already feeling sleepy, but their master still hadn't returned.

"Ha...you guys keep waiting, I really can't take it anymore." A round-faced monk yawned and waved his hand as he spoke from the crowd.

“Me too, I need to sleep,” a young monk chimed in.

In the blink of an eye, another half hour had passed, and the once bustling courtyard was now empty except for Qi Xiao.

Although he was also very tired and sleepy, since it was his uncle Yong'an who had gone out, he felt really embarrassed to go back to his room and sleep like the other fellow disciples.

Gradually, the morning star began to hang high in the sky, and the moon slowly set. A figure walked silently from the doorway. Upon seeing Qi Xiao under the starlight, he immediately stopped and turned to walk away quickly.

"Uncle-Master?"

Qi Xiao suddenly jolted awake and quickly chased after him, grabbing the other man's sleeve: "Why are you running away now that you've seen me?"

Master Yong'an said without turning his head, "I have no face to see you."

"What do you mean you're too ashamed to face me?" Qi Xiao looked bewildered and strode around to the other person. When he saw the other person's face, which was swollen like a steamed bun, he was stunned.

original……

This person is too ashamed to face me!

"Qi Xiao, you're wrong. That wasn't a love story between a human and a demon, but a love story between a celestial being and a demon."

Master Yong'an sighed and said, "Moreover, that man really had the combat power of a Celestial King. Not only was I beaten up by him, but even the Buddha's relic was stolen and turned into an apology gift."

Qi Xiao: "..."

That guy, why does he love stealing other people's things so much?

Not only did they steal his own Heartbreak Sword, they also stole his uncle's Buddhist relic.

"By the way, don't tell anyone about this, it's too embarrassing," Master Yong'an sighed.

Qi Xiao's lips twitched: "I promise to keep my mouth shut."

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'm packing my things and going on a trip for a while, so that my fellow disciples won't keep asking me all sorts of questions."

Master Yong'an took a deep breath, walked past the other person, and went straight to his meditation room.

Qi Xiao sighed.

It seems I have no hope of completing the destiny task assigned by the Azure Emperor. I wonder if the mortal realm will truly descend into chaos because of someone with the Seven Killings destiny falling in love...

"You want to separate Xu Xuan and Bai Yaoyao, don't you?" Suddenly, a voice reached his ears.

"Who?" Qi Xiao asked cautiously.

"Come to the back mountain, old friend," the voice called out.

Qi Xiao frowned, quickly returned to his room to retrieve his sword, and then headed to the back mountain with a wary expression, constantly exploring his surroundings with his divine sense.

"here!"

Just as he was passing through a grove of trees, a pine cone shot rapidly toward him.

Qi Xiao swiftly drew his sword, splitting the pine cone open. Looking down, he saw a figure shrouded in black robes standing on a large tree, looking at him with a half-smile.

"who are you?"

“I am your friend from a past life,” the man in black said.

Qi Xiao: "..."

"Don't you believe me?"

The man in black robes raised his hand and summoned a black orb, saying, "As long as you refine this demonic pill, you can break the shackles of your primordial spirit and regain your memories of your past life. At that time, you will be able to remember me."

Qi Xiao said, "I have no desire to regain my past life memories. I just want to know why you are looking for me?"

The man in black robes said, "Didn't you want Xu Xuan and Bai Yaoyao to separate? In this matter, we can definitely cooperate."

Qi Xiao shook his head: "I don't even know who you are, so why would I cooperate with you?"

The man in black robes laughed and said, "Since you're so eager to know, then I'll tell you. I am the ancient demon god Taotie."

“Taotie…” Qi Xiao was stunned.

Suddenly, the Taotie tossed a black token through the air in front of him, embedding it heavily into the mountainside, with only half of its head protruding.
"My suggestion is valid indefinitely. When you need my help, simply infuse this token with your magic."

After saying that, he suddenly transformed into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared rapidly into the sky above the mountains and forests.

Qi Xiao: "..."

Ever since I met Xiao Qing, more and more strange things have been happening around me. In the blink of an eye...

After daybreak.

The Taotie, accompanied by a cloud of black mist, crashed heavily in front of a mansion, staring at the two characters "Li Mansion" above the gate, a slight smile playing on its lips.

But just as he was about to step inside, a golden shield rose up inside the mansion as soon as he arrived at the door, freezing his smile on his face.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

He patted the golden shield and sensed its strength. He had no choice but to silently abandon his plan to enter the mansion and hide inside the stone lion at the entrance, waiting for someone to come out.

Not long after.

A middle-aged man dressed as a constable, holding a knife at his waist, walked out of the mansion with a smile on his face and strode forward.

The Taotie immediately transformed into a wisp of black smoke and pounced towards its opponent.

Unexpectedly, a golden light flashed from this person's body, making him feel as if he had crashed into a golden wall, and he was instantly bounced away...

Having finally managed to stand still at the gate, Taotie let out a long breath and muttered, "At least it proves we didn't come to the wrong place..."

Thinking of this, after much deliberation, he suddenly transformed into a Taoist priest in green robes, holding a black and white banner, and quietly waited in front of the Li residence.

half an hour.

A middle-aged woman who looked to be around thirty years old, wearing a pink dress, slowly walked out of the gate and headed straight for the front street.

"Wait a moment, young lady!"

Taotie pretended to be passing by and called out loudly.

The woman suddenly stopped and looked at Taotie's current appearance, asking, "What advice do you have, Daoist Master?"

"If I'm not mistaken, young lady should have a younger brother, right?" Taotie asked.

The woman slowly narrowed her eyes: "Everyone on this street knows that I, Xu Jiaorong, have a younger brother!"

Taotie smiled and said, "Is it common knowledge that your younger brother has provoked a demon?"

"Nonsense, how could my brother possibly provoke a demon?" Xu Jiaorong scoffed.

Taotie said, "If you don't believe me, young lady, you can take the realgar wine and go to the Bai Mansion in West Lake right now."

The master of the Bai mansion is a snake demon who has bewitched your brother, causing him to willingly marry into this family and become completely infatuated with her beauty.

Xu Jiaorong: "..."

On the day.

It was noon.

Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu, along with more than ten constables, arrived in front of the Bai residence and looked together at the tightly closed gate.

"In broad daylight, the door is still closed..."

Based on her preconceived notions, Xu Jiaorong immediately frowned and said.

Li Gongfu, carrying two jars of realgar wine, asked, "Knock on the door?"

"Have your brothers lie in ambush and wait for our summons," Xu Jiaorong said.

Li Gongfu waved his hand, and the constables immediately disappeared in front of the door.

Inside the courtyard.

Qin Yao, who was sitting upright in front of the bamboo grove, letting Ah Hong paint his portrait, suddenly said, "Trouble is coming."

"What trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Hong not only didn't panic, but instead asked with some excitement.

"Dong dong dong."

Before Qin Yao could answer, someone knocked on the gate of the Bai residence from the outside.

Ah Hong casually hung up the calligraphy brush and said with great interest, "I'll go open the door."

Qin Yao thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you. My sister and brother-in-law are coming."

Ah Hong looked surprised, but showed no sign of nervousness: "Let's go."

As they talked, the two arrived at the front door. Qin Yao reached out and pulled off the latch, smiling as he looked at the couple standing at the door: "Sister, brother-in-law, what brings you here?"

"Xu Xuan, are you really here?" Xu Jiaorong asked with a complicated expression.

Xu Xuan, the younger brother, has been the pride of their family since he was a child.

If she were to marry into the family of a monster, it would be worse than killing her.

Qin Yao nodded slightly, looking into her eyes and asked, "Who told you I was here?"

Xu Jiaorong glanced at the beautiful girl beside him, her heart tightening slightly. She lied and said, "It was one of your brother-in-law's constables who saw it and told him."

Qin Yao then looked at Li Gongfu and asked, "Brother-in-law, is this true?"

Li Gongfu chuckled dryly and said, "Yes, there are."

Xu Jiaorong quickly said, "Would I lie to you? By the way, who is this?"

Qin Yao then introduced her, saying, "This is my wife, Bai Yaoyao."

Xu Jiaorong was taken aback: "Wife? When did you get married?"

"Our relationship doesn't need any formalities to prove it," Qin Yao said with a smile.

Xu Jiaorong: "..."

This is simply...heretical!
"Xu Xuan, this isn't the place to talk. Please invite your sister and brother-in-law inside first," Ah Hong said with a smile.

Qin Yao nodded: "That's right, sister, brother-in-law, please come with me."

Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu exchanged a glance, then followed the two into the courtyard.

As they passed the pavilion in the courtyard, Xu Jiaorong suddenly said, "Xu Xuan, it's stuffy inside. Let's talk in this pavilion."

"Okay," Qin Yao said calmly.

A short while later.

The four of them sat together in the pavilion. Xu Jiaorong pulled Ah Hong aside and asked her all sorts of questions, perfectly portraying the image of a caring older sister to her younger brother.

Ah Hong was all smiles and spoke fluently throughout, leaving Xu Jiaorong with no faults in any way.

Therefore, she had no choice but to reveal her true intentions, uncorking the bottle of realgar wine that Li Gongfu had brought and handing it to Ah Hong:

"Miss Ah Hong, you must be thirsty after talking so much. This is realgar wine that I brewed myself. It has a rich and fragrant taste. Please try it."

Ah Hong: "..."

Although her primordial spirit is not a snake demon, the physical body she inhabits is!
Therefore, once you drink this realgar wine, it probably won't be long before its true form is revealed.

"Sister, Yaoyao is allergic to alcohol and cannot drink this."

Just as she was thinking about how to respond, Qin Yao suddenly took the realgar wine from Xu Jiaorong's hand and said with a smile.

"What does 'allergy' mean?" Xu Jiaorong asked, looking confused.

"It means that they are born with a special constitution and are abnormally sensitive to certain foods or substances," Qin Yao explained.

Xu Jiaorong: "..."

"There's one more thing."

During his silence, Qin Yao spoke again: "Never, ever believe what outsiders say. There are many people in this world who want to kill me. You are my family, but also my weakness. I am very worried that you will be plotted against."

Xu Jiaorong: "..."

“Brother-in-law, my sister is confused because she is worried. As the head constable, you should be able to distinguish right from wrong, right?” Qin Yao suddenly turned to look at Li Gongfu and said seriously.

Li Gongfu took a deep breath and said, "Xu Xuan, I understand what you mean. I'll talk!"

“Gongfu,” Xu Jiaorong said urgently.

Li Gongfu silently squeezed her hand and said sincerely, "Madam, don't you know Xu Xuan's capabilities better than I do? I think we should trust him!" (End of Chapter)
