I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 195 The Red Mansion Appears, Killing the Demon King of Green!

The cramped room was covered in red cloth, and the candles on either side of the bed were also red.

The bride sat on the edge of the bed, and the groom went to lift the red veil.

This should have been the most beautiful thing in the world, but at this moment, the groom Ouyang Lu let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Chen Mo understood why Ouyang Lu made such a pitiful scream.

Because... the Ouyang Yu under the red veil is no longer the same younger sister she used to be.

Or rather... she's still that younger sister. But she's transformed from a charming seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl into a ninety-year-old woman.

His face was covered with deep wrinkles and age spots everywhere. His skin was dry and cracked, lacking any elasticity. He was just skin and bones. Even his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his pupils were cloudy and filled with yellow spots.

The hair on the top of his head had turned white, and there were hardly any hairs left.

Although he had applied face powder, he still couldn't hide the strong smell of an old man.

When Chen first saw Ouyang Yu's appearance, he thought she was comparable to Qiu Qianchi.

But when Chen Mo looked at Ouyang Yu for the second time, he felt that comparing Ouyang Yu to Qiu Qianchi at this moment was somewhat insulting to Qiu Qianchi.

No wonder Ouyang Lu couldn't accept it for a while.

"Ms. sir, what's wrong with you?"

Ouyang Yu seemed unaware that her appearance had changed so much, and even went up to take Ouyang Lu's arm, asking, "Did Xiaoyu upset my husband?"

Ouyang Lu was terrified. He screamed and pushed Ouyang Yu away, "Wife, what happened to you?"

Ouyang Yu didn't think anything of it: "Xiao Yu is still the same Xiao Yu. I haven't changed."

As she spoke, Ouyang Yu continued to lean towards Ouyang Lu.

Because Ouyang Yu's speech revealed a set of large, yellow teeth and emitted a pungent odor of bad breath, coupled with his dark, tanned skin, Ouyang Lu was quite frightened.

Ouyang Lu then pushed Ouyang Yu away forcefully, saying, "No, don't come near me."

Ouyang Yu was pushed violently to the ground, feeling extremely wronged. "Husband, today is my wedding day, and we haven't even consummated our marriage yet. How could you change your attitude and treat me like this?"

Ouyang Lu scrambled to the door and was about to leave when he heard a pitiful sobbing sound behind him.

"Is my husband going to abandon Xiaoyu? What did Xiaoyu do wrong? She's only on her wedding day and he's already abandoning her?"

Ouyang Lu stopped and angrily called out, "My wife, it's not that I'm heartless. It's just that you look so frightening. I don't know what you did, but I simply can't accept my wife looking like this. If she's like this on our very first day of marriage, how am I supposed to endure the long road ahead?"

After saying that, Ouyang Lu ran to the dressing table, took a mirror, and threw it to Ouyang Yu, saying, "Look for yourself."

Ouyang Yu then realized what was happening and immediately picked up a mirror to look at her face.

"Ah! How could I be like this? What on earth has happened?"

Ouyang Yu was startled and immediately checked her arms, only to find they were nothing but skin and bones. She then rolled up her trouser leg to examine them… and was horrified to discover that her thighs were also just skin and bones, covered in wrinkles and age spots.

"no no!"

"I did nothing wrong, how could this happen? Husband, please help me. I can still regain my appearance."

As she spoke, Ouyang Yu crawled up to Ouyang Lu and hugged his leg; "Husband, please help me. I can recover. I am your newlywed wife, please."

Although Ouyang Lu was terrified and her attitude had become much colder, she couldn't bear it in the end: "I'll bring Grandpa to see you. You wait here."

"Yes, yes, I'll wait here." Ouyang Yu quickly thanked her.

Soon, Ouyang Lu ran out.

Ouyang Yu was left all alone in the room. She sat before her dressing table, clutching her thinning hair and stroking her withered face, sobbing, "How could this happen? How could this happen? What happened? If I can't regain my appearance, my husband will abandon me… Waaah! Who can help me?"

"Heavens above, please help me!"

"Xiaoyu really loves her husband and wants to grow old with him. Please."

Ouyang Yu knelt on the ground, bowing and pleading towards the sky outside the window, tears streaming down her face.

In an instant, the entire room was filled with an atmosphere of...despair and sorrow.

It was extremely oppressive.

Chen Mo, who was watching all this from the shadows, was deeply moved.

At this moment, Chen Mo transformed into a shadow, hiding in the darkness. Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Lu, not having used the Blood Jade Fusion technique and possessing no special cultivation, were unlikely to detect Chen Mo.

However, Chen Mo's emotions were strongly influenced.

Something shook it.

Chen Mo immediately realized something was wrong.

Chen Mo has seen it all along.

They wouldn't be moved by such a small conflict between Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Lu.

Moreover, Chen Mo had also attained the cultivation of a golden vengeful ghost and unlocked the power of summoning. He could sense extremely subtle changes in emotions.

Pfft!
There seemed to be something pulsating in the dim light.

I never felt this way before.

It was as if something terrible was about to be resurrected.

Chen Mo, who possessed the power of inspiration, strongly sensed that something was about to awaken!

Moreover, this scene seems to be reenacting something.

what's up?
Moreover, Ouyang Lu and Ouyang Yu's consciousnesses have changed, and their conversation is very strange...

In an instant, Chen Mo recalled the three stages of metamorphosis that Su Yuqing had described: the resentment resurfaces, the resentment intensifies, and the metamorphosis occurs through a new body.

Both Su Yuqing and I had previously assumed that opening the ghost field meant the resentment was resurfacing. All we had to do was wait for the resentment to intensify... but something seemed off.

After all, Su Yuqing had never been here before and hadn't witnessed the situation firsthand. Therefore, her judgment was flawed.

I must have overlooked something.

If this is done wrong, it will be a big problem.

Chen Mo immediately activated the Tranquility Technique to calm his chaotic and uneasy emotions, and then began to review the situation again.

All judgments and speculations are based on some facts.

However, the facts here are distorted.

Ouyang Yu was affected, as was Ouyang Lu.

Do not fully believe what they say or do.

The only thing that can't be wrong... is the information from the cheat code.

Yes, the Golden Finger deduced the Blood Jade.

With this in mind, Chen Mo immediately reopened the information panel for deduce the Blood Jade.

Lines of subtitles appeared before my eyes.

Mandarin Duck Blood Jade.

It is infused with powerful bloodline energy and fused with the crimson moonlight. However, it has undergone some kind of mutation, allowing two people to merge into one. It possesses extremely strong concealment abilities and can see things that are invisible to the naked eye.

[Origin: The wife begged a deity to carve this blood jade. The deity then blessed it. Afterwards, the wife divided the blood jade in two, taking one half for herself and the other half for the husband.]

[Scenario 1: The relationship breaks down, and the woman's love turns to hatred. The love symbolized within the blood jade slowly transforms into a curse.]

[Scenario 2: Although the woman harbored hatred, it was merely hatred; she didn't do anything. What did the man do that transformed her hatred into a demon?]

[Scenario 3: The woman has become a golden vengeful ghost.]

[Deduction 4: What did the woman do to become the Demon King of the Green-Capturing Realm?]

After reading the message, Chen Mo suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

The situation of Ouyang Lu and Ouyang Yu just now corresponds to the first half of Deduction 1, doesn't it?
and so……

Su Yuqing's previous judgment was flawed.

The appearance of the ghost field is not a recurrence of resentment... but rather a prelude.

Now, the resentment is resurfacing!

A hundred years of spinning a cocoon, then breaking free to transform into a butterfly.

The process of breaking free from the cocoon is the process of rebirth.

In other words... how did the Demon King Sheqing become a ghost in the first place? Now, it will be revealed through Ouyang Yu, the chosen jade wielder.

The same process, all for... to incite resentment!?
That's really... too weird.

Chen Mo stared wide-eyed at the weeping, helpless Ouyang Yu, thinking to himself: This Ouyang Yu was originally a person, but was chosen by the Azure Ghost King to be the jade holder. And now she's in this state.

He is also a poor man.

Chen Mo had tried to stop it all, but it was no use... Ouyang Yu's thoughts and memories had been affected. His own power of inspiration was simply insufficient to restore Ouyang Yu to normal.

Before long, Ouyang Lu led Ouyang Gu in.

Behind Ouyang Gu was a villager who looked like a doctor. The villager came over and was startled when he saw Ouyang Yu's appearance. After examining him for a while, he shook his head and sighed.

“Clan leader, I have never heard of such an illness before. It must be caused by some evil spirit. I am helpless. But don’t worry, I will accept your kindness and will not tell anyone.”

The villager left with his medicine box after saying a few words.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, please help me." Ouyang Yu tried to grab Ouyang Gu for help, but Ouyang Gu rudely pushed her away. Then Ouyang Gu called Ouyang Lu outside and locked Ouyang Yu in the bridal chamber.

Bang bang bang!
Ouyang Yu kept banging on the door, pleading, "Grandpa, husband, please help me. Don't abandon Xiaoyu, I beg you. You are Xiaoyu's only family."

At this moment, Ouyang Yu was completely panicked and terrified. She was only focused on banging on the door.

However, Ouyang Yu only banged on the door, hoping to get help from her grandfather and husband. She hadn't thought about doing anything herself.

Pfft!
Pfft! !

Through his extraordinary power of inspiration, Chen Mo sensed that the thing was reviving even more intensely.

It was as if the surrounding space was enveloped by this thing.

Gulu!

Chen Mo swallowed hard, sensing that something big was about to happen. And the key to all of this lay with Ouyang Yu.

Chen Mo stared intently at Ouyang Yu, remaining motionless.

really--

Ouyang Yu, who was still banging on the door, suddenly stopped because she heard her grandfather and husband talking outside the door.

"Grandpa, what am I going to do with Xiaoyu like this? I can't possibly spend my whole life with such an old woman, can I?"

“Alas, it’s all a tragic fate. We just had our wedding, and this mess has already happened. If we divorce Xiaoyu now, our family’s reputation will suffer. But it would be unfair to you to spend your life with an old woman like this. Besides, with Xiaoyu in such a state, how can she carry on our family line?”

"That's absolutely right, that's exactly what I was thinking too. So what do we do now?"

"What do you want?"

"I don't want to see Xiaoyu even once. She's disgusting. I didn't kill her outright just now because of our years of friendship. I was being very merciful."

"Oh, you've really suffered."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo noticed that... Ouyang Gu and Ouyang Lu's voices and temperaments had changed.

They started out ruthless and cold-blooded.

This is... the resentment of the Green Demon is getting stronger, and its control is getting stronger?
Suddenly, Chen Mo became even more certain of his conjecture:

This is just the beginning of the resentment resurfacing!
Moreover, the purpose of that Ghost King setting up such a large ghost field is very clear: it is to provoke Ouyang Yu and make his resentment reappear.

Chen Mo has been in this world for more than two years and has seen quite a few strange things.

But this is truly the first time I've ever seen something so bizarre.

I couldn't help but feel a little horrified.

He held his breath and looked at Ouyang Yu.

Sure enough... after hearing the conversation outside the door, Ouyang Yu immediately stopped knocking, slid to the ground, and collapsed in a daze.

Especially what my husband said—"I don't even want to see Xiaoyu again." It was disgusting. I only spared her life because of our years of friendship. I was being extremely merciful.

It deeply shattered Ouyang Yu's heart.

Ouyang Yu was in tears.

At this moment, the conversation between Ouyang Lu and Ouyang Gu continued to echo outside the door.

The grandfather and grandson's voices grew increasingly cold and indifferent.

“Grandpa, it’s not appropriate to divorce Xiaoyu for the sake of our family’s reputation. But we can’t let Xiaoyu show her face in public either, lest she disgust people.”

"Then what do you want?"

“I was thinking, why don’t I just tie Xiaoyu up and lock her in a room? I’ll just bring her food every day. I’ll go and remarry and take a concubine. If Xiaoyu dies in a few years, I’ll just say she died of a sudden illness. That way, the villagers won’t suspect anything.”

"Sure. Just think of it as having a disgusting thing in the house."

"With Grandpa's words, I feel relieved. I'll go find a rope now."

“The rope is easy to bite through. Go to the yard and take the iron chain off the plow and tie it up for her.”

"Grandpa is so thoughtful. I'll go right now."

Da da da.

A sound of footsteps faded away.

Ouyang Yu in the room began to feel restless and agitated.

Pfft!
Plop, plop!
The thing throbbed even more violently, and a sense of resentment filled the room.

This resentment... I've never felt this way before.

At this moment... it begins to appear.

As Chen Mo watched, perhaps because the power of attraction had drawn upon the resentment, his vision suddenly became blurry.
It's as if I'm looking at an old house.

In the old house lived a grandfather, a husband, and a woman. That woman also suffered the same treatment as Ouyang Yu…

Although it was just a blurry image, Chen Mo already understood: Ouyang Yu's current predicament was exactly what the Ghost King Sheqing had experienced back then. It was just that different people were being used to recreate that day's ordeal.

Not long after——

bump!
The door was kicked open with a bang.

However, Ouyang Gu and Ouyang Lu walked in, each carrying an iron chain for a plow and rake, with sinister smiles on their faces.

Ouyang Gu spoke first: "Xiaoyu, that doctor can't cure you either. With your health like this, you're no longer able to carry on our family line. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."

Ouyang Lu said, "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid. I'm just keeping you tied up in the room. From now on, you won't have to work in the fields anymore, which will save you a lot of trouble. I'll bring you food every day."

Bang bang.

Ouyang Yu knelt on the ground, pleading frantically, "Grandpa, husband. You are my dearest family. How could you treat me like this? I haven't done anything wrong, and I haven't done anything to wrong you. Even if I become ugly and old, please let me go. I will leave the village immediately, okay? Please. I will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of my life."

Bang bang bang.

Ouyang Yu kowtowed and begged, tears streaming down her face.

Ouyang Gu: "No, Xiaoyu. If you run away and the villagers find out, they'll think we're mistreating you. It won't be good for our reputation. Besides, it's a sin for our family to have such a monster like you. We'll just have to make do with you."

Lock the path for him.

"Grandpa, husband, please... don't treat Xiaoyu like this. Xiaoyu is the closest person to you!!"

Clang! Clang!

After struggling for a while, Ouyang Yu was bound with iron chains.

At first, Ouyang Yu struggled violently, but was beaten until he was covered in bruises, and finally his hands, feet and neck were locked up. He was locked in the room like a wild dog.

In a moment of desperation, Ouyang Yu bit Ouyang Lu's hand, and was kicked several times by Ouyang Lu, breaking several of his teeth.

"I'm letting you stay and even giving you food. That's already a great favor. Don't be ungrateful! Humph!"

bump!
The gate was closed.

The bridal chamber darkened, leaving only the bridal candles and endless red cloth.

These red cloths, mixed with Ouyang Yu's blood, made it impossible to distinguish where the red cloth ended and the blood ended.

Pfft!
Pfft!
Chen Mo felt the resentment growing stronger, but not by much.

He also realized: the resentment had resurfaced... and the process was complete.

Next, I fear the resentment will only grow.

And so, Ouyang Yu was confined to the room. Ouyang Lu brought her three meals a day, and at first, he would offer a few words of comfort when he brought her food. This lessened Ouyang Yu's resentment. She would even beg Ouyang Lu to release her.

But gradually, the stench emanating from Ouyang Yu became increasingly pungent. Ouyang Lu grew more and more disgusted with her, and eventually stopped coming in altogether. Instead, he dug a hole in the corner of the wall and only placed food at the entrance of the hole each time.

Ouyang Yu was in despair. Every time she cried out for a chance to see her husband, she was refused.

At first, Ouyang Yu stubbornly refused to eat and had suicidal thoughts, thinking that she might as well starve to death.

She grew hungrier and hungrier, but also more and more despondent.

The food went bad and smelled rotten.

Until the third day.

The sounds of gongs and drums came from outside the door, along with the sounds of bowing to heaven and earth and bowing to one's parents.

It was Ouyang Lu who remarried.

Ouyang Yu, who was lying on the ground on the verge of death, suddenly opened his eyes.

hum!
Those were a pair of fierce eyes.

There was no love left, only hatred and resentment.

Chen Mo clearly sensed that Ouyang Yu was filled with overwhelming resentment. Even Chen Mo, the golden ghost, was startled.

Immediately afterward, Ouyang Yu scrambled to the dog hole in the corner like a vicious dog, picked up the bowl of rotten food, and swallowed it bite by bite. He vomited it out, then grabbed it again and continued eating.

With each bite, Ouyang Yu's resentment grew stronger.

Pfft!
Pfft!
Chen Mo's power of inspiration clearly allowed him to sense something reviving within Ouyang Yu's body.

Chen Mo immediately recalled the second deduction from the cheat code: Although the woman harbored hatred, it was merely hatred; she hadn't done anything. What did the man do that transformed the woman's hatred into a demon?

So... this Ouyang Yu, who was originally the Qinggui, is now turning into an evil ghost.
The deafening gongs and drums outside the door gradually subsided.

Then came the sounds of Ouyang Lu and his bride entering the bridal chamber.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Ouyang Yu had given up hope and instead revealed a sinister smile.

The resentment within her continued to grow stronger.

After quite some time, a slender hand reached through the dog hole and placed a bowl of rice on it.

Ouyang Yu realized... that it wasn't Ouyang Lu's hand, it must be the bride's.

Instead of taking it, he showed a pained expression and cried out in pain as if he had a serious illness.

Sure enough, the bride's voice came from outside: "Is Xiaoyu sick?"

"Yes, yes... Sister, save me."

After hesitating for a long time outside, perhaps because neither Ouyang Gu nor Ouyang Lu were home, and with no one to consult, the bride spoke up: "I'll find the doctor that my husband has chosen to see him. That doctor has received a favor from my husband, so he won't tell anyone."

"Thank you... Sister." *Tap tap tap*

A sound of footsteps faded away.

A short while later, two footsteps approached. It must be the bride arriving with the original doctor.

Click.

The door opened.

A very beautiful bride entered the house with a doctor.

The bride was seeing Ouyang Yu for the first time and was shocked by the scene before her. The ground was littered with debris and reeked of filth; excrement was everywhere. Ouyang Yu was still wearing her red wedding dress, chained up, lying on the ground like a dead dog, barely breathing, emitting faint cries for help.

The bride then showed a look of disgust and said to the doctor, "Uncle Li, just give her that bowl of medicine. You don't need to worry about anything else. My husband will handle it."

Eh.

The doctor, known as Uncle Li, took out a bowl of medicine. Without even checking Ouyang Yu's injuries, he immediately lifted her head and tried to force-feed her the medicine. Seeing that Ouyang Yu was uncooperative, Uncle Li said, "Come and lend a hand, she'll be fine soon."

The bride, suppressing her disgust, stepped forward, helped Ouyang Yu up from the ground, pinched her chin, made Ouyang Yu open her mouth, and urged, "Hurry up, tell her to have a child sooner rather than later."

"Coming right away." Doctor Li brought over the medicine and was about to give it to Ouyang Yu.

Just then——

Click!

Ouyang Yu suddenly opened a pair of devilish eyes and stared intently at the two of them, while reaching out to grab their arms.

Doctor Li was shocked: "You..."

The bride was also startled: "You're faking illness..."

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Ouyang Yu suddenly revealed an extremely cold smile: "If I didn't pretend to be sick, how would I have lured you all in? You're trying to poison me, aren't you? Hehehe... But you won't have the chance."

In an instant, Ouyang Yu opened his blood-red maw and bit down hard on Uncle Li's neck. In just a few moments, he devoured Uncle Li.

"what!!!"

The bride let out a terrible scream, trying to break free from Ouyang Yu's grasp, but found that she could not break free no matter what she did. In the end, she could only watch helplessly as Ouyang Yu came to bite her.

"You, you're not human..."

"I'm not human anymore! You all forced me to this! You all forced me to this!!!"

"what!!"

Pfft!
Pfft! !

Chen Mo suddenly felt the overwhelming resentment in this place.

The resentment within Ouyang Yu flowed out like a stream.

Chen Mo knew... Ouyang Yu had become a ghost.

Open the panel.

I saw the gold frame.

It is evident that... after this transformation, Ouyang Yu has become a golden vengeful ghost. This corresponds precisely to Deduction 3: the woman has become a golden vengeful ghost.

Logically speaking, no matter how much resentment a person harbors, they cannot become a ghost.

There must be some other factors involved.

However, this is not the true nature of the Blue Demon, but rather the resentment that resurfaces through similar experiences.

Chen Mo had no idea what other hidden factors the Green Ghost might have.

Chen Mo quickly recalled deduction 4: What did the woman do to turn into the Green-Capturing Ghost?

Ouyang Yu still retains her own consciousness and has not been completely possessed by the Qinggui.

In other words, the Green Demon has not yet appeared.

It will take until Ouyang Yu continues to amplify his resentment, reaching the level of the Qinggui, before the Qinggui can be released.

So, what exactly did Ouyang Yu do to become the Qing Ghost?
Only the last step is left.

Chen Mo was both horrified and filled with anticipation.

After all, the main purpose of coming to Nanzhou this time was to help Jiang Hongyue retrieve the Red Moon Essence, and getting the Green Ghost King to cooperate with her was the first step.

This step is coming soon.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo adjusted his breathing and stared intently at Ouyang Yu.

Click, click, click!

The bride died.

It was eaten by Ouyang Yu.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Ouyang Yu seemed like a completely different person; his eyes turned bloodshot, and he let out an extremely chilling laugh.

"It was all forced upon us, it was all your fault!"

"Jie Jie Jie~"

The next moment, Ouyang Yu slightly squeezed his wrist, and the iron chains on his body broke.

Ouyang Yu regained her freedom, but did not leave the house. Instead, she went to the living room, grabbed a broom, and went to the bridal chamber to clean. She cleaned the bridal chamber spotlessly, eliminating all the stench.

In addition, Ouyang Yu took a bath, changed into a brand new red dress, and then sat at the dressing table to do her makeup in front of the bronze mirror.

As she combed her hair, her appearance gradually became younger.

Chen Mo also found it strange, but considering that the other party was a golden ghost, restoring his appearance was not a problem at all.

Before long, Ouyang Yu returned to her original appearance, and even became more charming and beautiful than before.

Ouyang Yu looked at herself in the mirror and actually smiled.

"Hehe, men all like good-looking women. They're all scumbags. They're so disgusting."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become an old woman. In the end... you repay kindness with enmity and judge people by their appearance. It's really despicable."

hiss!
Upon hearing the second sentence, Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

The voice had clearly changed.

The first sentence was Ouyang Yu's voice.

The second sentence is different.

Furthermore, the information in the second sentence doesn't match the context. After all, Chen Mo had observed for so long and hadn't discovered that Ouyang Yu had become ugly because of Ouyang Lu.

That was... the voice of the Green Demon?
In other words... the Green Demon's influence on Ouyang Yu is growing, and it's about to emerge?

Chen Mo held his breath and continued reading.

Perhaps knowing that Ouyang Yu was just one step away from completing the amplification of resentment... the Qinggui was about to emerge.

Chen Mo's heart started beating faster.

He weighed the things he needed to do after meeting the Blue Demon:
First, it would be best to find out the location of the original corpse and soul of the Qing Gui. This is crucial for modifying compatibility. After all, one's own original essence might not be enough to modify the compatibility of a Qing Gui. But if one could obtain the original essence of the original corpse and soul of the Qing Gui, it should be sufficient.

In addition, the Green Demon has the ability to separate the original corpse, the original soul, and the resentment. Only by finding the original corpse and the original soul can compatibility be ensured and no accidents occur.

Secondly, he already had a way to deal with the Green-Eating Demon. Even if all else failed, his godmother would arrive, so there was no need to panic. Moreover, Chen Mo felt he might not need to use this method; he could try his best.

After confirming his thoughts several times, Chen Mo cleared his mind of distractions and continued to look at Ouyang Yu.

Not long after——

bump.

The gate to the courtyard was pushed open.

It must be Ouyang Lu and Ouyang Gu who have returned from working outside; the sound of their conversation can be heard.

"Hey? Xiao Lu, haven't you noticed that Young Master and the others have been missing lately?"

"Young Master may have taken his men back to the mountain. In a few days, I will take Alan to the mountain to find him and ask them to come and stay at our house."

“That’s good. But the young master and the others are familiar with Xiaoyu. If the young master knew about Xiaoyu’s situation, I’m afraid he would blame us.”

"Then let's find an opportunity to get rid of Xiaoyu, and that will be the end of it. That way, she won't be discovered."

"Okay. It's time for Xiaoyu to leave. You and Xiaolan can finally live a peaceful life. I'll go cook, and you take good care of Xiaolan."

"Alan, I'm back." Ouyang Lu put down his hoe and farm tools and came in to look for Alan. But he couldn't find her. Instead, he noticed that the door to Ouyang Yu's room was open, so he came over to take a look out of curiosity.

Eh?
Ouyang Lu walked to the room's door and saw that it had been completely renovated. There was also a pleasant scent of spices, which instantly refreshed him. He then saw Ouyang Yu sitting at her dressing table, doing her makeup, and became curious.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you..."

Before Ouyang Lu could finish speaking, he saw a stunningly beautiful face in the mirror and gasped in shock. He was completely captivated.

Just then, Ouyang Yu turned around and smiled sweetly: "Husband, you're back. Alan just brought Doctor Li to treat me, and he's cured me."

After saying that, Ouyang Yu stood up, turned around, and asked, "Husband, do I look good now?"

Ouyang Lu's eyes widened in surprise, then he smiled and said, "She's beautiful. This is the Xiaoyu I know."

Humph.

Ouyang Yu snorted: "That husband treated Xiaoyu like that before."

Ouyang Lu paused for a moment, then, as if having made up his mind, he put on a smile. "Ah, it's not that I intentionally distance myself from you. It's just that I'm afraid something might happen to you. In the past few days, I've been searching everywhere for famous doctors, hoping to cure my wife's illness and help her recover. I even asked Alan to find a doctor as well. And look, Alan is efficient and hasn't disappointed me."

Ouyang Yu looked at Ouyang Lu: "So, it was my husband's idea for Alan to find a doctor to treat me?"

Ouyang Lu laughed and said, "That's right. Alan and I have always hoped that Xiaoyu would get better soon."

As he spoke, Ouyang Lu stepped forward and took Ouyang Yu's slender hand. "I've made you suffer these past few days. I promise to treat you well from now on and grow old with you. I will make up for the suffering you've endured tenfold and treat you ten times better."

As he spoke, Ouyang Lu went to hug Ouyang Yu.

Ouyang Yu did not refuse, and even gave a charming smile: "Husband, please don't do this. I'm shy."

"Haha, we are a loving couple, what's there to be shy about? We haven't even consummated our marriage yet, but today is a perfect day for us to get married. Let's go to our bridal chamber."

Ouyang Lu chuckled, picked up Ouyang Yu, and climbed onto the bed, where he began to kiss her indiscriminately.

As he was eating, Ouyang Lu stopped.

Suddenly looking up, he was shocked to see that what he was holding was actually a skeleton.

"what!!!"

Ouyang Lu was so startled that she rolled off the bed, her face filled with terror: "You, you, you..."

Just then, Ouyang Yu slowly straightened her clothes, sat up, and regained her beautiful and charming appearance, asking with a sweet smile, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Ouyang Lu blinked, looked again, and found that she was indeed a beautiful and moving woman.

Ouyang Yu said with seductive eyes, "Husband, come to the bridal chamber quickly."

After what he had just experienced, Ouyang Lu had lost all interest and was still feeling a bit scared. He stood up and said, "Next time. I'll go find Alan. By the way, where's Alan?"

Ouyang Yu beckoned to Ouyang Lu with her finger: "Husband, come here, I'll tell you."

Ouyang Lu steeled himself and walked over, saying, "Speak quickly."

Ouyang Yu leaned close to Ouyang Lu's ear and said, word by word, "Alan...I ate her."

hiss!
Ouyang Lu was taken aback and took two steps back abruptly. "You, what did you say?"

Hehehe.

Ouyang Yujiao laughed, "And that Physician Li, I ate him too. Am I not human anymore? What's so good about being human? You dog men only know how to judge people by their appearance."

"You, you..." Ouyang Lu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and kept moving his body backward.

Then, Ouyang Lu saw Ouyang Yu's eyes turn scarlet, and he grew long scarlet fingernails, and his open mouth revealed sharp fangs.

"what!!"

Ouyang Lu screamed in fright.

Click.

Ouyang Yu walked up to Ouyang Lu in one step, reached out and gouged out both of his eyeballs.

"what!!!"

Ouyang Lu rolled around on the ground like a wild dog.

Ouyang Yu picked up the two eyeballs and played with them, laughing, "You like to judge people by their appearance, don't you? Now that I've regained my looks, you start being hypocritical and even want to consummate our marriage. You dog of a man. I'll gouge your eyeballs out right now. Hahaha."

"You should die too!"

After saying that, Ouyang Yu picked up the mirror from the dressing table and started poking Ouyang Lu repeatedly.

puff puff!

Ouyang Lu was thus stabbed to death.

Pfft!
Pfft!
Through his keen senses, Chen Mo suddenly felt that Ouyang Yu's resentment was beginning to erupt wildly.

That thing is about to be released.

Ouyang Yu's voice had changed.

"Hahaha. I, Zhuang Xiaoyue, have been trapped in my own cocoon for a hundred years, and now I am finally about to break free and transform into a butterfly. However, I am still missing something."

Just then, Ouyang Gu, who had heard the screams from the kitchen, rushed in. Upon seeing Ouyang Lu lying on the floor of the room, he immediately rushed over and cried out in anguish, "Little Lu!"

Ouyang Lu is dead.

No matter how Ouyang Gu called out, it was no use.

Ouyang Gu suddenly raised his head and stared at Ouyang Yu with resentment: "Xiao Yu, how could you kill your husband? He was your husband!"

"Husband? Hahaha, are you crazy? Still not sober?" Ouyang Yu sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair.

The voice she spoke was no longer Ouyang Yu's.

Rather... it belongs to that Green Demon.

Chen Mo sensed it.

Just then, Chen Mo, the shadowy figure who had been standing by the window, stretched his hand out of the window and detonated a signal flare.

Ouyang Yu, however, acted as if she didn't know anything, not even glancing at Chen Mo, and continued combing her hair.

After a moment, Ouyang Yu slowly turned around and looked at Ouyang Gu, "Are you still living in your beautiful dream? Wake up!"

boom!
Suddenly, a scarlet light shot out from Ouyang Yu's eyes.

Ouyang Gu's expression was affected, and he slowly began to understand.

Then, Ouyang Gu muttered to himself in a daze, "So, I was already dead... It was my master who gave me a dream. Xiao Lu is dead too... It was all a dream. A grand dream, all for naught..."

He spoke, cried, and laughed.

Ouyang Gu walked up to Ouyang Yu and knelt down abruptly: "Ouyang Gu greets Master."

Ouyang Yu said, "I'm keeping you alive to extract the stiffness marks from your body. This will help me take the first step in breaking free from my cocoon."

After saying that, Ouyang Yu raised her hand and slowly placed it on Ouyang Gu's head. "Ah, the moment you wake up from your dream will be the moment you completely perish. Your Ouyang clan shouldn't have come to the mountain to provoke me. Go."

As Ouyang Yu made a thought, a golden zombie pattern flowed out of Ouyang Gu's body and entered Ouyang Yu's body.

The next moment, Ouyang Yu took out his half of the blood jade, then walked to Ouyang Lu's corpse and took the other's blood jade.

Click.

She combined the two pieces of blood jade into one, then dripped fresh blood into it and made a hand seal.

"Zhuang Xiaoyue, come out!"

Boom!

Ouyang Yu's body suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist that scattered in all directions.

Pfft!
Pfft! ! !
Chen Mo clearly felt the resentment soaring to the sky, erupting like a tidal wave.

Chen Mo's heart pounded, his consciousness blurred, and the surrounding scenery spun around him. Everything he saw and heard was changing wildly.

The surrounding rooms were rapidly dissipating.

The walls turned red.

The wood in the room also turned red.

Everything was decorated in red.

The wedding room has become much bigger.

After everything calmed down, Chen Mo saw that the bridal chamber had been completely transformed. It had become the bridal chamber of a wealthy family.

But I remained standing by the window.

A woman dressed in red was sitting in front of a dressing table doing her makeup.

Chen Mo could see the woman's profile.

It's no longer Ouyang Yu.

Instead, it was another beautiful and charming woman.

The Green Demon... Zhuang Xiaoyue?

Just as Chen Mo was in a daze, the woman in red slowly turned around and looked at Chen Mo with a smile: "Young Master Mo, did you enjoy the show just now?"

really……

He immediately called out his own name.

It is clear that all my speculations were correct.

This Green Demon had been eyeing him since he was in Nanyang Prefecture.

She knew about many of the things that happened afterward.

Now that he'd been discovered, Chen Mo didn't mince words and stepped forward confidently. "So you're the Ghost King of the Azure Dragon, Zhuang Xiaoyue, that outsiders talk about?"

The woman in red smiled and said, "It's me."

Chen Mo nodded: "She's shrewd. She was watching me back in Nanyang Prefecture. Now that you've completed the resentment reappearance and resentment amplification, all that's left is the final step of finding a new body to break free, right?"

Zhuang Xiaoyue: "Indeed. Young Master knows quite a lot. Unfortunately, I've taken a liking to you. I need to borrow your moonlight to help me transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly. Are you willing?"

Chen Mo said, "I'm not willing."

"Hahaha." Zhuang Xiaoyue laughed loudly: "Once you're in my red mansion, you won't have a choice."

Chen Mo spread his hands: "Since I'm here, I don't intend to leave alive. I'm not afraid of death. You can't force someone who isn't even afraid of death to do anything."

Zhuang Xiaoyue laughed loudly: "In my ghost field, I've altered the memories of hundreds of people. They're all at my disposal. Young master, you're truly foolish. Don't you know I can also alter your memories, making you utterly subservient to me?"

This was exactly what Chen Mo was waiting for.

Do you want to alter my memories?
The other Huiyuan, right?
come.

P.S.: This volume is now in its middle stage, a minor climax. There are so many foreshadowing elements involved, making it quite difficult to write. The logic should be generally sound; please point out any flaws. I've been thinking a lot about how to write the climax. I can't just have a straightforward fight and sweep through everything; that wouldn't be very interesting.
