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

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

“You have done very well over the years. If your master knew this in the afterlife, he would be very proud.”

While teasing Ya in her arms, Bai Qingyu spoke softly. Xu Yuanqing was quite capable. If possible, she would actually like Xu Yuanqing to assist Ya. When Ya becomes empress in the future, Xu Yuanqing's presence would save her a lot of trouble.

However, when that day actually comes, it's likely that Xu Yuanqing's two disciples will be the ones assisting Ya.

I just hope these two disciples can be more capable. I don't expect them to reach Xu Yuanqing's level, but at least they shouldn't be as crazy as Xu Yuanqing's junior brother.

Upon hearing Bai Qingyu mention his master, Xu Yuanqing's eyes were filled with emotion. "But compared to my master, I am far inferior. When my master was in power, listening to his stories and seeing the development of the capital, I didn't find it strange. But after I took over his work, I realized that I am far inferior to him."

"But now you've ultimately become like your master, haven't you?"

Xu Yuanqing was taken aback when Bai Qingyu said this.

Yes, since my master left, I have become just like him.

After a long silence and a few more words with Bai Qingyu, Xu Yuanqing left. He was no longer wearing his favorite white robe and feather fan, but a somber gray robe. Watching his back, Bai Qingyu felt a pang of emotion. In just two or three years, he had changed so much.

It was Xu Yuanqing who was in the capital. If it were anyone else, they would probably be played to death, unless his master came back to life.

"Aunt, who is that person? He looks like an ordinary person, but he gives me an unfathomable feeling." The other shore flower appeared behind Bai Qingyu.

"The Grand Preceptor of the Great Spirit is a very capable person, completely different from those who turned into your flower mud. To put it this way, don't look down on his mortal body, he carries the weight of the entire world's people on his shoulders, as well as the weight of all living beings. Not only did he bear such a heavy burden, but he also carried it for two years."

"That's amazing?"

"He's pretty impressive. Do you know how old he was when he took over those messes in Beijing? Twenty-seven."

"Your aunt speaks so highly of him?"

"It's not that he's tall, it's just that I'm quite moved. About a year ago, this guy was bullied badly in the capital, so he rushed here overnight and knelt down in front of my door for a long time, crying about what happened in the capital. To be able to go to that extent is really impressive."

"By the way, Aunt, the hot spring in the backyard has had its water changed, and a lot of spiritual energy liquid has been added."

"That's great. Let's go for a hot spring together tonight."

"Uh-huh!"

·

While renovating the courtyard, Bai Qingyu simply expanded the hot spring in the backyard to accommodate five or six people bathing together.

That evening, Bai Qingyu left the baby with Miketsu to take care of, and went to soak in the warm water with Zhen Tian, ​​Qing Ji, Higanbana, and the little snake. She originally planned to invite Zhen to join them, but Zhen was shy and unwilling.

I changed my clothes in the changing room and wrapped myself in a bath towel.

Bai Qingyu looked at Qingji beside him with a mischievous smile on his face, and suddenly reached out and hugged her slender waist from behind.

"Little sister Kiyohime, let your aunt see if your development is normal."

Bai Qingyu's alluring voice came from beside her ear, and because Bai Qingyu was so close, Qingji could feel a tickle on her ear.

"Oh, Auntie!"

Caught off guard, Kiyohime's pretty face immediately turned bright red.

This is no ordinary time. Normally, she would at least be wearing clothes, but now she is completely naked except for a thin bath towel that can't cover anything. And Bai Qingyu is the same way.

Behind her, a soft, warm body lay, and Bai Qingyu's hands were still quite restless, kneading and rubbing her smooth belly.

"aunt......"

Her red lips parted slightly, her breathing heavy, and Kiyohime's face flushed with embarrassment.

Bai Qingyu's hands seemed to be quite restless, and she could only be thankful that Bai Qingyu's target was mainly her stomach and waist and did not go any further upwards.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Kiyohime sensed something, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

"Oh, Auntie, there, there..."

The commotion on Kiyohime's side attracted the attention of the other three. Having slept with Bai Qingyu every day and even served as Bai Qingyu's pillow all day long, she was already used to it. Higanbana was stunned for a moment and quickly looked away. Only the little snake was bolder.

"Auntie, you're bullying Kiyohime again."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingyu paused, her gaze turning to the little snake.

A glance swept over, and the little snake felt a chill run down its spine. As if sensing something, it quickly ran towards the hot spring, saying, "Auntie, I didn't say anything. You can continue to torment Kiyohime!"

"No, you're pretty good to me now, don't run away." Bai Qingyu chased after him, and soon everyone heard a thud, followed by the sound of the little snake begging for mercy.

Higanbana glanced at Kiyohime, whose face was still flushed with embarrassment, and then exchanged a look with Shinten, their eyes seemingly asking a question.

Is my aunt always like this? Usually, she seems like a very normal female demon, even a bit aloof. How could she have such a lecherous side?

Zhen Tian coughed, "Actually, Sister Bai isn't always like this. Maybe she's just happier today."

She also knew that Bai Qingyu was just playing around and didn't have any real intentions.

However, it must be said that Bai Qingyu's appearance here is indeed unlike the person she usually is.

After getting ready, wrapped in a bath towel, I saw the snake lying on top of me when we got to the hot spring room. I was pulling the snake's face outwards with both hands. The snake looked pitiful and kept making whimpering noises for mercy.

Finally, unable to resist any longer, its lower body transformed into a snake tail, attempting to coil around Bai Qingyu's body from behind. But just as the little snake's tail cautiously reached out, Bai Qingyu suddenly turned around and hugged the little snake's tail into her arms.

The snake's tail is slightly different from Kiyohime's; Kiyohime's tail is more bluish-green, while the snake's tail is milky white and much longer.

The feel of it is not much different from Kiyohime's tail.

"Auntie, it tickles! Don't touch my tail!"

The little snake tried to struggle, but its tail was stuck in Bai Qingyu's arms and it couldn't move at all.

"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."

After playing around for a while, Bai Qingyu released the little snake and patted its head.

So much time has passed, the snake's wounds have long since healed.

Bai Qingyu sat back down in her seat and patted the flower beside her. "Red Spider Lily, come here."

The other shore flower wasn't shy at all. She covered her chest with a towel with one hand and sat down next to Bai Qingyu.

"Auntie, I heard you mentioned there's a demon book up there?"

The other shore flower sat down, letting her long black hair fall loose, and began to speak.

"Yes, the Demon Book, including you and me, except for the little snake, is all in the Demon Book, as are Xiao Yao and Yu Zhuan Jin."

"This demon book is so powerful, what else is recorded in it?"

"It also records some monsters from your underworld, such as Yama."

"Enma..."

The reason why the red spider lily escaped from the underworld is largely due to Yama.

"I've been thinking of finding other monsters listed in the Demon Register to verify a theory I have."

Bai Qingyu noticed a detail when he took out the Demon Book again recently, after not having taken it out for a while.

That is why some of the monsters in the monster book are much brighter and more vivid. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that these monsters are either ones she has encountered before or ones that are right next to her.

She wondered what would happen if she collected all the monsters in this monster book.

Let the entire book of demons be illuminated.

“Finding these monsters must be difficult, the world is so vast,” Kiyohime said.

"Yes, it all depends on fate."

"Am I also listed in the Demon Register?"

"You are the same. The name Kiyohime is mentioned in the Demon Book, just like your current situation. I think the immortal who named you back then was the previous owner of this Demon Book, or rather, the owner of the book before that."

I roughly know who the immortal Bai Qingyu, who named Qingji, is. He must be Xu Yuanqing's master, or perhaps Yunru.

Kiyohime could vaguely see the outline of her snake tail through the light green water, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. It turned out that she was a monster from the beginning.

Just as she thought of this, Bai Qingyu added, "Your situation is a little different from everyone else's. Don't doubt yourself. You were indeed a human before. If you have to blame someone, blame that monk Anzhen and those villagers in Shannan Village."

"Villagers?"

"Yes, more than a year ago, a dragon fell into Shannan Village. The villagers attacked it in droves, wielding sharp weapons to cut off its flesh and drink its blood. The power of that dragon eventually fell on you, which can be considered the trigger."

The little snake blinked when the dragon was mentioned.

Why does it feel like the dragon my aunt is talking about is herself?

Bai Qingyu kicked her and gestured for her not to speak.

"Actually, humans and demons are all the same; it mainly depends on how you think about it."

Leaning against the red spider lily, Bai Qingyu said lazily, "You agree, right, Hua Hua?"

Volume 1: Chapter 176 Bai Qingyu's Kiss to Zhen Tian

In the hot spring pool, several monsters were leisurely soaking in the hot spring. Bai Qingyu did not disturb the other shore flower. She gently leaned against her and splashed the light green water with her slender hands. The water was warm and comfortable and full of vitality, which was completely opposite to the Styx River.

Bai Qingyu suddenly wanted to go to the underworld. Since the demons there could be listed in the demon register, it meant that the previous generation of Guhuoniao had been to the underworld. Otherwise, there would be no introduction to the other shore flower, nor would there be introductions to the judge, Yama, the ghost messenger, and Meng Po.

If the red spider lily can be called a demon, then can the judges and their ilk also be called demons? They seem to have nothing to do with demons at all, and it's a mystery why they were recorded in the demon register by the previous generation of Guhuoniao.

It is certain that this book of demons was written by the Guhuoniao who disappeared for unknown reasons. That's what Yunru said back then. That's why Bai Qingyu can't understand why even a little guy like Miketsu, who is clearly recorded as an Inari god, is considered a demon.

"Hua Hua, how long have you been born?"

"I don't know either, the flow of time in the underworld and the mortal world is different."

"Then do you think Yama and the Judge are demons?" Bai Qingyu raised her hand, and the Demon Book appeared in her hand, automatically opening to the page on the Judge.

The judge looked like a human dressed in strange clothes, completely different from a demon.

“Of course it can’t be considered a demon,” the spider lily replied.

"Have you ever seen a demon or a human from the mortal realm enter the underworld while still alive, and then emerge unharmed?"

“I’ve never seen it, and it’s impossible.” The other shore flower said with great certainty, “The underworld and the mortal world are two completely separate worlds. They don’t communicate with each other, so how could one possibly travel back and forth between them?”

"Then how did you get out?"

"I...I don't know either. I remember I came out accidentally from a large door."
