Starting as a stray dog, I embarked on a journey of cultivation.

Gou An took the magic pen and began to calculate rapidly on the paper.

Hongyue rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at the paper, but her eyes were full of doubt.

She didn't understand the symbols that Gou An had drawn on it.

After a long while, Gou An suddenly put down his pen and stretched.

Hongyue asked curiously, "What? Have you given up?"

Gou An smiled confidently: "I have the answer!"

"Oh?" Hongyue looked at the paper again out of curiosity, but it was still full of messy symbols that she couldn't understand at all.

Gou An put aside the paper he had drafted, then picked up the paper and pen again and began to write as he spoke.

"These three mortal slaves each have only two options: life or death!"

"The three of them together correspond to eight different endings."

"Therefore, we can divide the three ordinary slaves into A, B, and C!"

"The eight possible outcomes are: either all die, all live, only A dies, only B dies, or only C dies."

"And A and B die, while C lives."

"A and C die, B lives."

"And also, C and B die, while A lives!"

Gou An glanced at the red moon as he spoke.

Hongyue clearly understood, and nodded, "Fellow Daoist, please continue!"

Gou An had no choice but to continue writing on the paper: "As long as we make arrangements in advance, each bottle of water is only given to a fixed group of slaves, and we observe who dies over twelve hours, we can directly pinpoint the poison water."

"Let's number these eight bottles first, dividing them into one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight!"

"They won't even drink bottle number one!"

"Bottle number two is for person A only!"

"Bottle number three is only for person B!"

"Bottle number four is only for person C!"

"Bottle number five is only for A and B!"

"Bottle number six is ​​only for A and C!"

"Bottle number seven is only for B and C!"

"Drink bottle number eight, A, B, and C!"

Gou An then connected A, B, C, and the eight bottles he had drawn one by one, and continued his explanation.

"Once twelve hours have passed, we only need to see who died and who survived by comparing their results with this combination, and we can immediately determine which bottle contains the poison."

"If all three are unharmed, then bottle number one contains poison."

"The single-armored body died; the poison was in number two."

"Shan Yi died; the poison was in number three."

"Shan Bing died; the poison was in number four."

"A and B died, only C survived, and the poison was number five."

"A and C are dead, while B is unharmed; that must be number six."

"B and C are both dead, A is safe, the poison is in number seven."

"If A, B, and C all die from the poison, there's no doubt that Number Eight is the one who got the poison."

After answering, Gou An placed the magic pen again, feeling his mind clear.

Hongyue also looked away from the paper and couldn't help but applaud.

"Fellow Daoist Gou, you are truly clever! I have never seen a monster as intelligent as you before."

Gou An merely shifted his thigh slightly to the side, patted his leg, and said, "Then please keep your promise and sit on my lap!"

Hongyue smiled sweetly and, without any hesitation, got up and walked to Gou An's side. Suddenly, she turned around and lay down, falling into Gou An's arms.

It smells so good!

Gou An smelled Hong Yue's scent and felt her graceful figure through the thin veil, and his heart was immediately filled with desire.

"Are there any more questions?" Gou An asked immediately, snapping out of his daze.

Hongyue rested her head on Gou An's shoulder and said softly, "Fellow Daoist is really impatient, wanting to advance further so soon?"

Gou An gave an awkward smile: "Miss Hongyue is so stunningly beautiful, how could I not be moved?"

Hongyue didn't rush to ask questions. Instead, she shifted her position on Gou An, finding a more comfortable sitting posture.

With one hand around Gou An's neck, she used the other to pick a spirit fruit from the table and feed it to Gou An.

"Eat something to replenish your energy first!"

Gou An opened his mouth and swallowed it, appearing calm on the surface, but in reality, he was almost unable to stop.

In my previous life, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness just as I reached the age where I could talk about love, and then I was tormented by the disease for more than ten years before I died.

Having lived a second life, so many years have passed, and in total, I'm already in my forties or fifties.

Having lived to be forty or fifty years old and never having been with a woman, no one could remain unmoved by such temptation.

It's good to replenish your body, you really need to replenish it more!

Gou An discovered that the spiritual fruits Hong Yue fed him were of far better quality than those eaten downstairs.

The spirit fruit downstairs can only provide 30 to 50 points of demonic power, which is considered a lot.

The kind that Hongyue feeds herself can increase her stats by 70 or 80 points, or even over 100 points, with just one pill.

These are all good things; we can't waste them.

"Fellow Daoist, have you finished eating?" Hongyue suddenly asked.

Gou An nodded: "Alright, alright, please continue with your questions!"

Hongyue smiled and said, "If you have answered this question correctly, we will move over there."

He even pointed with his finger as he spoke.

Gou An looked in the direction Hong Yue was pointing and his eyes lit up.

Isn't that the big bed in Red Moon's room?

"Ask away, young lady!" Gou An swallowed hard, feeling his breathing quicken.

But this time, Hongyue didn't ask any questions. Instead, she flipped her hand and turned it into a demon gold coin from the City of Ten Thousand Demons!

"This is very simple!" Hongyue said to Gou An, holding up the demon gold coin. "This demon gold coin has beast claw patterns on the front, but nothing on the back!"

After the demonstration, she suddenly tossed the demon gold into the air and then slammed it onto the table.

"Then guess whether this coin has a smooth side or an animal claw side!"

After Hongyue finished speaking, she looked at Gou An with a hint of temptation in her eyes, her expression meaningful.

Gou An didn't rush to answer, but instead asked a question first: "What if I guessed wrong?"

Hongyue laughed and said, "That's a pity, fellow Daoist, it has to end here."

Gou An immediately felt a headache coming on.

If the question were asked like before, Gou An could still solve it with his wisdom.

But guessing heads or tails with a coin in front of him was giving Gou An a headache.

There's a 50% chance of guessing wrong!

It's all down to luck!

"Guess!" Hongyue said again.

Gou An stared at Hong Yue's hand on the table, but didn't rush to speak.

After waiting for a long time, Hongyue couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you guess?"

"Because I'm afraid I'll guess wrong!" Gou An said, holding the beauty tightly, unwilling to let go. "If I guess wrong, our fate will end here, so I want to hold you a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Hongyue couldn't help but laugh and say, "Fellow Daoist Gou, you are truly different!"

"Oh?" Gou An asked, puzzled.

"I, Hongyue, have cultivated for over a hundred years, and I've seen many demon cultivators and many human cultivators!" Hongyue said, enunciating each word clearly, "But I've never seen anyone like you!"

"Me?" Gou An asked doubtfully, "Am I that smart?"

"No!" Hongyue immediately shook her head: "There are many people in this world who are smarter than you, but there is one thing that makes you unique."

"Which point?" Gou An asked curiously.

"That is..." Hongyue carefully examined the dog's head perched on Gou An's neck and slowly began to speak, "I have never seen a demon so human-like, fellow Daoist!"
