After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Twenty kilometers away, in the suburbs.

Zhang Ye was carried by the Demon Arhat to a secluded corner. As soon as they stopped there, the Demon Arhat put Zhang Ye down on the ground.

It would have been better if he hadn't been released, because as soon as he was, Zhang Ye started vomiting blood continuously onto the ground.

Zhang Ye vomited for several minutes before he recovered.

Just now, in order to save the Demon Arhat, Zhang Ye used the Heavenly Demon Melody on Zhou Yan and Jiu Feng. Normal people would be captivated by the Heavenly Demon Melody, just like the heroine in a hypnosis book, and would do whatever Zhang Ye said. However, when facing Jiu Feng, the Heavenly Demon Melody only made Jiu Feng momentarily dazed, while for Zhou Yan...

Zhang Ye almost died.

"Damn it, after years of taking medicine, I'm back to square one."

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Zhang Ye stood up angrily. After her resurrection, she had been searching for awakened individuals and men to absorb their essence near Zhongzhou City. Now that she had encountered Zhou Yan, all her previous accumulations had been expended.

I'll have to find more men to replenish my supply later.

The Arhat beside him said calmly.

"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; do not cling to appearances, my friend."

Zhang Ye spat.

"I also believed your master's nonsense, saying how powerful you two disciples were, but you couldn't handle a Nine Phoenix?"

The Arhat chanted "Amitabha Buddha" again.

"It will take more time."

The demon arhat clasped his hands together in prayer.

“My Arhat body has not yet been restored. Please give me some more time, and I will return a true god to you.”

Chapter Twelve Hatred

Shower room.

Zhou Yan slowly got up, took off his clothes, and turned on the switch.

Hot water sprayed from the showerhead, wetting Zhou Yan's hair.

Unlike normal online games where negative buffs remain at their most effective until the very end, the "No Life" state that the Demon Arhat applied to Zhou Yan initially had its peak effect, but its effectiveness gradually diminished until it completely disappeared after a full seventy-two hours.

During this process of depletion, Zhou Yan's physical strength will gradually recover. Of course, it has been less than an hour since he was empowered to enter the "no-life" state. Under the empowerment of the keyword "Great Evolution", Zhou Yan's physical strength can only recover slightly enough to take a bath.

Zhou Yan rubbed his hair with his hands.

He had fallen into a flower bed in the park. Due to lack of energy, Zhou Yan landed headfirst, his hair and neck covered in mud and gravel. After rubbing it a few times, the hot water blew away the sand and mud. Zhou Yan opened one eye and looked into a corner of the shower room, where there was a bottle of shower gel and shampoo.

Judging from the text on the shower gel/shampoo, both of these should be for women.

There's a joke about a reporter interviewing a woman and asking her why she chose a certain brand of shower gel. The woman gave a very long analysis based on her skin type, cost-effectiveness, brand, and fragrance.

When the reporter asked the men why they chose a certain brand of shower gel, they replied matter-of-factly, "Doesn't it say 'shower gel' on the label?"

Zhou Yan had the same thought. Regardless of whether it was for men or women, since it was a shower gel/shampoo, if women could use it, he certainly could too.

After washing his hair and body, Zhou Yan was about to find a towel to dry himself off, but when he reached for the towel rack, he found that there were only two towels on it. Both towels had the scent of Jiu Feng's young body and a few black hairs hanging on them, indicating that they were used by Jiu Feng to dry herself after taking a bath.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Is it inappropriate to use a young girl's towel to wipe yourself?

But are there other options now?

Zhou Yan reached for a black towel, but withdrew his hand a few seconds later.

Above the sink outside the shower room, next to the mirror, there seems to be a cabinet; there should be towels inside.

Zhou Yan opened the shower door and walked out unsteadily.

Just as Zhou Yan had expected, the cabinet above the sink contained towels, bathrobes, and a change of underwear. Zhou Yan tried his best not to look at Jiu Feng's underwear, took out a few dry towels and wiped himself down, then took out a bathrobe and put it on.

what's next?

Zhou Yan glanced at the main guard door.

The area outside the door is not the second-floor corridor. In a normal apartment building, the master bathroom is connected to the master bedroom, meaning the master bathroom is inside the master bedroom.

This bathroom leads directly to the master bedroom, which, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is Jiu Feng's master bedroom, the place where she spends her daily life and sleeps.

Zhou Yan had a strange feeling that if he went out now, all clean and refreshed, there would probably be Jiu Feng waiting outside with a wine glass in hand, swirling it around, watching the red wine swirl in the glass, and then smiling as he came out.

Of course, if the Nine Phoenixes outside turned into a fat, ugly noble pig who couldn't even see his own toes when he looked down, while I was a white-skinned elf queen with pointed ears and a dog collar around her neck, the vibe would be even stronger.

and so……

Zhou Yan slowly walked to the bathroom window and opened the curtains.

Outside the curtains was a patch of weeds and haphazardly growing trees, with a road leading to the city running through the weeds.

This is a suburb, or even if it isn't, it's far from densely populated areas.

Zhou Yan estimated the distance from the road to the city to be a little over five kilometers.

With my current physical condition, I'm afraid it would take me three days and three nights to walk this road.

As for calling for help...

His phone was crushed by Jiu Feng, and there were no other means of communication hidden in his small universe.

Damn it, I was careless...

"Once bitten, twice shy," Zhou Yan vowed. If he were to go out this time, he would definitely prepare some ways to call for help that wouldn't be obvious to others if his phone stopped working.

By the way, it seems that Suzaku and his group are gods, so if I call Suzaku's name, can Suzaku hear me calling him?

"Dong dong dong..."

A knocking sound suddenly came, followed by Jiu Feng's voice.

"Xiao Yan, have you finished your shower?"

That sense of crisis, as if encountering Chi You, erupted once again.

Zhou Yan could see his hand gripping the curtains, and goosebumps appeared on the back of his hand.

Zhou Yan didn't dare to speak. There was a five-second silence outside the main guard's door, followed by a faint laugh.

"Xiao Yan, I didn't hear the showerhead spraying water."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Why are girls always so perceptive in seemingly inexplicable ways?

Zhou Yan had heard a joke about a guy who used a special QQ chat background that changed color after each conversation with a different person. His girlfriend then deduced from the color changes in his QQ chat history that he had interacted with other girls.

"Um...I..."

Zhou Yan's forehead was beaded with sweat.

"Daoyun, I don't have any clothes, so I'm a little embarrassed to come out and see you."

"There are my underwear in the locker in the bathroom. Xiao Yan, you can wear them if you don't mind."

Zhou Yan was shocked.

"You're making a man wear women's underwear?"

Another soft laugh followed.

"Alright, enough joking around, Xiao Yan. I put your clothes outside, come and get them."

Zhou Yan remained silent for a while.

"I see."

Just now, Zhou Yan had wanted to ask Jiu Feng when she would release him, but then he thought it was a stupid question. If Jiu Feng wanted to release him, he would release him whether he asked or not. On the contrary, if she didn't want to release him, she wouldn't release him whether he asked or not.

Given my current situation, I can only play it by ear.

Zhou Yan walked to the door of the master bathroom, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

Outside the door was the hallway leading to the master bedroom. In the hallway, Jiu Feng, with her long hair, stood holding a plate of desserts and drinks. At her feet was a box of men's underwear, coats, and pants.

Zhou Yan squatted down, casually selected a few clothes, and went into the main bathroom. After a while, Zhou Yan came out wearing new clothes.

Zhou Yan tugged at his clothes, surprised.

"These clothes fit perfectly."

Underwear is fine, but the t-shirt is not tight and is loose, and the pants are not uneven, just reaching the ankles, fitting so well that it feels like I specially wore them before buying them.

Holding the desserts and drinks, Jiu Feng smiled, her smile gentle and virtuous, yet full of girlish playfulness.

"No one knows your body measurements better than me, Xiaoyan."

Zhou Yan was a little hesitant to ask why Jiu Feng knew so much.

"Xiao Yan, are you hungry?"

Jiufeng handed the plate in her hand to Zhou Yan.

"I made you some dessert to replenish your energy."

Zhou Yan glanced at the dessert, and then his eyelids twitched.

This dessert contains earthworm powder, tongue blood, bat meat powder, and some other strange ingredients that Zhou Yan had never heard of before. When he put them together, his omniscient ability explained that it was a purported to be aphrodisiac, kidney tonic, and a health-enhancing elixir.

Is there something wrong with this medicine?

Zhou Yan then looked at the drink next to the bread. The drink was reddish and looked a bit like strawberry juice, but when he looked at the ingredients, he found that it contained deer blood, eel blood, and Zhuanglong powder, among other things. With his omniscient ability activated, he found that it was a medicine for spring.

Here's a little-known fact: Humans are one of the few species in nature that are in a state of reproduction 24/7, all year round.

Other animals only have the urge to reproduce during their estrus cycle, while humans do so at any time.

Therefore, there is no medicine for spring in the normal sense, but the thing that Jiufeng is holding has many immortal plants added to it, which makes it have magical effects that would not exist in the normal sense.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Jiufeng looked at Zhou Yan with expectant eyes, and Zhou Yan felt that Jiufeng's pupils might turn into hearts at any moment.

"Xiao Yan, you must be hungry. Here, eat these, and I'll take you to rest."

Zhou Yan pushed the food away.

"I just brushed my teeth and don't want to eat anything."

Jiufeng tilted her head.

"Then just wash it again after you finish eating, right?"

Zhou Yan turned around and walked towards the bed in the bedroom.

"Hey, Xiao Yan, have something to eat. You just got injured, you need to eat to heal faster."

Jiufeng followed Zhou Yan to the bed in the bedroom, where Zhou Yan glanced at it.

This is a typical girl's bedroom. The bedroom is decorated in pink. The bed is a large double bed, but there is only one pillow. There is a computer desk next to the bed, and there is a computer on the desk. A TV series is currently playing on the computer.

Jiufeng then handed the plate from her hands.

"Xiao Yan, eat your fill, your injury will heal faster."

Zhou Yan glanced at Jiu Feng, whose face was full of gentleness, almost as docile as his own nine-colored deer.

But Zhou Yan could feel that sense of crisis, which sent chills down his spine, growing stronger and stronger.

Zhou Yan took the tray, sat down by Jiu Feng's bed, then picked up the cake that was said to have aphrodisiac and kidney-strengthening properties and took a bite.

With a smile on her face, Jiu Feng sat down next to Zhou Yan. The girl's two little feet, clad in slippers, dangled under the bed, giving her an adorable look like a little sister next door.

Zhou Yan slowly chewed the cake in his mouth. It has to be said that the ingredients in this dessert are a mess, but it tastes like a chocolate cake. The bitterness and sweetness are well combined. You can feel the sweetness, and the bitterness can also remove the greasiness.

Zhou Yan asked in surprise.

"Did you make this cake, Daoyun?"

Chu Daoyun lowered her head shyly.

"Yeah, when I was bored by myself, I would try to figure out how to cook. The more I tried, the more experience I gained."

No wonder they can make something so delicious by putting so many strange ingredients together.

Zhou Yan took another bite of cake, and Chu Daoyun glanced at the drinks on the plate.
