I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

She witnessed everything from Bai Qingyu's back.

My aunt actually went to the capital to demand an explanation for her.

I'm so touched...

"What's wrong? Why are you so easily startled?"

"I'm so touched."

"Isn't this what I should do? Okay, let go of me, I still need to cook." Bai Qingyu rubbed the little girl's head.

Everyone in the courtyard was watching, all looking completely bewildered. The little snake suddenly remembered something, hopped over and gathered everyone together, and began to vividly describe Bai Qingyu's "feat" of the day.

Bai Qingyu could only shake her head helplessly, put on an apron, and, chatting and laughing, pulled Zhen Tian into the kitchen.

If the powerful figures watching today were to witness this scene, they would probably be utterly astonished.

This housewife is truly the Divine Phoenix who faced the Human Emperor and the powerful beings of Tianyang Palace without showing the slightest fear in order to seek justice for her child.

During the day, Bai Qingyu's demonic power is awe-inspiring throughout the world.

At night, Bai Qingyu is equally adept at social graces and domestic skills.

There's nothing we can do about it. We have a whole family to support, and we can't let these "trivial matters" delay our cooking, can we?

Busy in the kitchen, Bai Qingyu didn't even have time to look at the demon book.

Of course, this demon book was not important to her.

She adopted the child, leaving it all to fate.

Please vote for me, sob sob sob.

Volume 1: Chapter 146 The Demon Book, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the Temple of the Goddess

After dinner, Bai Qingyu sat in the courtyard eating fruit, squinting as she watched Zhen Tian playing the zither in the courtyard.

Zhen Tian had been learning to play the piano for a long time, but she had never played very well.

Bai Qingyu didn't care about that, as long as he could hear it, that was enough. The main thing was to watch. Enjoying fruit while watching a beautiful woman play the zither, he was living a very comfortable and wonderful life.

"Sister, is there going to be any problems in the capital today?" Zhen Tian asked, turning her head to the side.

"There won't be any problems. I went there today to let the whole world see my attitude. They wouldn't mess with a poor but hardworking demon like me. They're all shrewd; they won't do anything without profit."

Bai Qingyu took out a peeled apple and handed it to Zhen Tian, ​​"So I have to go to the Heavenly Sect in the next couple of days to talk to their leader and ask him to restrain his subordinates a little."

Taking the apple, Zhen Tian noticed that Bai Qingyu had already taken a bite out of it. Undeterred, she took a small bite of the fruit herself.

"What about the little one that my sister brought back today?"

"You mean Tamamo-no-Mae? His situation is a bit complicated. I don't know what's going on. Even though he's survived his tribulation, he still can't transform into human form and can't speak. But I think this situation shouldn't last too long."

Bai Qingyu glanced at Tamamo-no-Mae, who was perched on the roof, and replied in this way.

So many things happened today.

I picked up Tamamo-no-Mae in the morning, then met Xu Yuanlang. After he disappeared, I went to the village to help a little girl named Kiyohime treat her mother. As soon as I got home, I learned that the little snake had been kidnapped.

After putting down Tamamo-no-Mae, he transformed back into his original form and rushed to rescue the little snake. After rescuing the little snake, he flew all the way to the capital, where he fought wits and courage against the Human Emperor and the Tianyang Palace.

"Life is always so difficult for demons."

Bai Qingyu's delicate body swayed, and she fell into Zhen Tian's arms.

"I just want a peaceful life, to adopt a child and raise a baby. But even such a simple request is not allowed. There are always all sorts of messy things that disrupt my life."

"It will get better gradually."

Zhen Tian stopped playing the zither and gently massaged Bai Qingyu's shoulders.

Lying in Zhen Tian's arms, gazing at the full moon in the sky, Bai Qingyu yawned after a while.

She got up and stretched. "Alright, go and rest. The children are already resting."

"Ah."

Bai Qingyu didn't go to Zhen Tian's room today, but went to her own room, which had recently been occupied by Yuzanjin and her spirit fox.

Upon entering the room, I saw that the lights were still on, and Miketsu was sitting in bed, intently reading a book of unofficial history. It mainly recorded some unpleasant things that happened to demons, monsters, and mortals, in short, horror stories.

Noticing Bai Qingyu enter the room, Yu Zhuanjin turned her head and sweetly called out, "Auntie!"

"Hey, how about your aunt sleeps with you tonight?"

"Great!" Miketsu's eyes lit up.

She was so scared by the book that she had originally planned to sleep with her aunt.

Bai Qingyu closed the door, concealed her feather robe, changed into pajamas, lifted the blanket, and hugged Xiao Yuzhanjin, letting her sit in her lap.

"Won't you be scared looking at this book?"

"Hmm...yes, but not if my aunt is around."

Holding the little girl's delicate body in his arms, Bai Qingyu rested his head on her shoulder and watched with her. In the dim firelight, two shadows, one big and one small, were cast on the wall, creating a very warm scene.

Bai Qingyu suddenly remembered something and took out the demon book.

Turning to the first page, a somewhat familiar figure appeared in her line of sight: the familiar hairstyle, the familiar arrogant expression, and the large gourd behind it with its mouth full of sharp teeth.

Shuten-dōji's name was printed on it, and below it was a slightly abstract drawing, along with a few lines of text that Bai Qingyu couldn't quite understand. It was roughly saying that Shuten-dōji was very powerful and brave, and it also mentioned something about a demon king.

This script seems to be from a dynasty two dynasties ago; after that, you can only make out the general outline.

Turning the page, the next page depicts a yokai named Ibaraki, and the page after that features a yokai named Menreiki, also in human form, a young girl, accompanied by several masks. Strangely, the girl is depicted with both black and white sides, the meaning of which is unknown.

As he carefully flipped through the pages, one name after another appeared in Bai Qingyu's mind.

Whether familiar or unfamiliar, there are too many names of yokai such as Yoto Hime, Hanabusa, Arakawa no Nushi, and Kinara. Among them are familiar figures, such as Itsumade and Momoko, as well as Tamamo-no-Mae, Miketsu, Ōtengu, and Yukidouji.

The demon named Hyakume-ki that Xu Yuanlang mentioned earlier was among them. It was a girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with many eyes floating behind her.

Bai Qingyu found each demon recorded in the demon register to be novel and couldn't help but wonder how these demons were born.

In comparison, I seem so ordinary.

They are among the most normal ones in the Demon Book.

It's worth mentioning that she saw a very familiar name in the Demon Book.

"Kiyohime?"

Bai Qingyu frowned as he looked at the image of a girl with a human body and a snake tail depicted in the demon book.

At noon, she met a girl with the same name, Kiyohime, in a small village. At the time, she thought to herself that the name was a bit strange.

"Could it really be her? But why didn't I feel anything after seeing her?"

Bai Qingyu muttered to herself.

Normally, she would sense any demon recorded in the demon register, but today, when she saw Kiyohime, she felt no emotion whatsoever.

Looking at the annotation beside it, which mentioned that it came from the incarnation of a young girl, Bai Qingyu vaguely understood what was going on.

Kiyohime is currently an ordinary person, but she will experience a certain event and eventually transform into the human-bodied, snake-tailed demon named Kiyohime.

Her heart sank; she still liked Kiyohime very much.

In silence, Bai Qingyu continued flipping through the pages.

The matter was far from over. As Bai Qingyu flipped through the pages, her expression changed. The demon book was divided into two parts. The top part contained the demons she had just seen, which she wasn't very familiar with, while the bottom part contained demons that she was very familiar with.

Looking at the two large characters "Qiongqi" in the second volume, Bai Qingyu blinked.

She wasn't mistaken, was she? This was Qiongqi?

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas!?"

Bai Qingyu never expected that the second volume would record monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. She carefully turned the pages one by one.

If it really is the Classic of Mountains and Seas, then there's a big problem.

If the monsters recorded in the first volume were merely strange, then the things recorded in the second volume can only be described as "horrifying".

It's important to know that the Classic of Mountains and Seas contains not only rare and exotic creatures, but also terrifying beings like the Zhulong.

Leaving aside the Candle Dragon, with the appearance of an ancient ferocious beast like the Taotie, are all the Mahayana cultivators in the world really a match for it?

The creatures in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are all true gods and demons.

Fortunately, the second volume only has eighteen pages and does not contain any terrifying beings like the Candle Dragon.

but.

Is everything recorded in this demon book necessarily all there is?

How do you explain the blank space on the last page?

Moreover, although there is no Zhulong in it, there are the four ferocious beasts such as Taotie and Qiongqi!

Bai Qingyu's mouth was half open; this demon book had brought her quite a few surprises.

Fortunately, the Demon Manual included a note at the end stating that the ferocious beasts in the second volume are all clones, and their true forms are suspected to be in the Immortal Realm of Immortality, though the exact location is unknown.

Bai Qingyu didn't know whether to be happy or scared by those words.

The good thing is that the ferocious beasts in this world are not the real thing.

The scary part is simple: since it's been recorded like this, can we say that these ferocious beasts really exist in this world?

It is true that there are clones, but how weak can the clones of ancient ferocious beasts be?

"Never mind, it has nothing to do with me... I guess so."

Closing the demon book, Bai Qingyu took a deep breath to calm herself.

Suddenly I had a thought: maybe I could find a ferocious beast cub to raise?

Okay, raising a ferocious beast is out of the question; she's not destined for it.

"Mizuki, it's late, you should rest."

"Okay, Auntie." Yu Zhuan Jin obediently closed the book and put it aside. After Bai Qing Yu turned off the lights, she quickly closed her eyes and shrank into Bai Qing Yu's arms, as if she would be swallowed by the darkness if she was a second slower.

Holding Miketsu's petite body in his arms, Bai Qingyu quickly fell into a deep sleep.
