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

"It's not offensive..."

After a long silence, Bixia Yuanjun finally spoke.

"Bai Ze, do you know what kind of dragon Zhu Bo is?"

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment.

"One, hmm, looks like a pretty good dragon."

At least after Zhou Yan met Zhu Bo, he didn't feel that Zhu Bo was anything to be uncomfortable with. On the contrary, Zhou Yan quite liked Zhu Bo's painting skills.

Bixia Yuanjun shook her head.

"That's because you don't understand Him. Once you understand Him, you'll find that Uncle Zhu loves painting, especially the charm of contrast."

Zhou Yan shrugged.

"I like it too."

Zhou Yan's favorite comics are those about modifying common sense, hypnosis, and mind control.

It's fascinating how it allows people to do things they would never normally do in seemingly normal circumstances, creating a striking contrast.

Bixia Yuanjun pointed to herself.

“Uncle Zhu painted a picture for me, one of which was of me in a flower field.”

Zhou Yan echoed.

I've seen this painting before.

Bixia Yuanjun countered with a question.

"Do you know what kind of contrast Uncle Zhu arranged for me?"

Zhou Yan: "Σ(?Д?;)"

What is the contrast in the arrangements?

Isn't it just like a tattered, dirty rag, thrown into a dark alley? ⊙〃≌∈＠【）

There seem to be many different kinds of needle marks on my arm.

Zhou Yan has read at least eighty or a hundred stories with this kind of plot. If he wanted, he could look for more in the works of famous writers who write about three lifetimes together.

Seeing Zhou Yan's expression, Bixia Yuanjun understood.

"It seems you know that Uncle Zhu is both fantasizing about me as something as beautiful as first love, and at the same time wanting to completely shatter that beauty and tempt me into depravity."

Zhou Yan was taken aback.

"So, Yuanjun, you ran away from your wedding?"

Bixia Yuanjun asked in bewilderment.

"Did you think Uncle Zhu was just joking after seeing that painting?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

how to say?

The painting depicts Bixia Yuanjun, with a girl standing in a flower field wearing a straw hat reminiscent of Luffy. From her complexion to her clothes, she exudes a pure, youthful, and beautiful aura, as if she were the girl every student in their school days loved the most.

Zhou Yan felt that Bixia Yuanjun in the flower field was the feeling of "first love".

Zhou Yan could easily imagine how much effort Zhu Bo had put into depicting this feeling.

But on the other hand, Zhu Bo easily crushed this beautiful "first love," turning the goddess of first love into a filthy and slutty harlot.

"Actually, it's not just me." (Sad)

Bixia Yuanjun shook her head with a half-smile.

"And some female immortals and male gods that I know of, Zhubo also included them in His paintings. The one that surprised me the most was Zhubo's mother, Bai Ze—can you believe it?"

Bixia Yuanjun stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. While this goddess had previously appeared quite forthright, she had never made such a dramatic move before. Lu

"Zhu Bo actually painted His mother with an innate allure, captivating the heart with every movement and expression." (Nine)

Zhou Yan thought of the painting "Awakening from a Dream." When he first saw it, he felt the alluring woman in the painting was blatantly expressing a desire to have a child.

At the time, Zhou Yan was simply amazed by Zhu Bo's painting skills. It was just a painting, with the body completely covered up, yet it was able to give people a strong emotional impact through the body posture and facial expression.

Zhou Yan believed that this was the essence of Chinese art.

Looking at it now...

Uncle Zhu...is that your mother?

"I don't understand Uncle Zhu's personality."

Bixia Yuanjun looked troubled.

"But I know that his personality is definitely not normal. There are so many male gods in the world. I don't necessarily have to pick the best one, but can I choose a more normal one?"

Zhou Yan nodded silently.

Bixia Yuanjun's current attitude is not hard to understand. For example, in a certain comic, a cute wind god who likes to drink apple cider, after learning that a certain rock prince is gay, even jokingly said with a teasing look, "Morax, the stone is blooming."

Then, after learning that Prince Yan liked her, she immediately burst into tears, holding a frying pan in front of her and wailing.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault for wearing so little before!"

"Don't come any closer!"

For example, if you are a girl visiting your best friend's house, and while your best friend is out, you go through her computer's hard drive and discover that instead of the popular Japanese anime and comics, your best friend's hard drive contains some profound, dark, and philosophical videos.

Just then, you hear your best friend open the door and ask if you want some black tea.

In short, people are free to choose their own preferences, but in many cases, it's still advisable for some to see a doctor. ∽≡

Bixia Yuanjun did not suggest that Zhubo see a doctor, but she also distanced herself from Zhubo, even going so far as to refuse to marry him.

Chapter Twelve Honest

"Well, if that's the case, didn't Lady Houtu notice anything amiss with Uncle Zhu?"

Zhou Yan inquired.

Bixia Yuanjun said sadly.

"Dragons are inherently lustful, so it's not surprising that they might do something outrageous. Houtu is a remarkable person; why would she care about such a trivial matter?"

Zhou Yan thought about it and couldn't help but nod.

Most creatures in the world have estrus cycles, and animals with estrus cycles are destined to want to reproduce and have thoughts about the opposite sex only during estrus. At other times, they will absolutely not want to do that kind of thing.

Humans are one of the few animals in nature that have a continuous estrus cycle 24 hours a day, so from the perspective of most organisms, humans are a bizarre race that is dominated by their lower bodies and goes crazy every day.

From our perspective, Zhu Bo seems somewhat abnormal, and other races also perceive humans as abnormal.

After all, the Earth Goddess had probably seen countless abnormal races, so she naturally had a tolerant attitude towards Zhu Bo's little hobbies.

However, as a woman with a human mindset, Bixia Yuanjun found it difficult to accept her partner's strange hobbies.

"Amitabha."

The Bodhisattva of Joy walked up.

"Benefactor Zhou, are you asking this because Uncle Zhu has contacted you?"

Zhou Yan said awkwardly.

Ba: "Yes, they came looking for me, but they didn't do anything..."

Zhou Yan thought about it and realized that his interests were now aligned with those of the Bodhisattva of Joy and the Jade Maiden of the Azure Clouds, and there was nothing to hide from Uncle Zhu.

Qi then recounted how she had met Zhu Jiuyin at Zhu Bo's place, how Zhu Jiuyin had warned her to be careful of Lu Wu, and how Lu Wu had then warned her to be careful of Zhu Jiuyin.

Liu: "...That's the gist of it. Lu Wu, hmm, doesn't seem like the type to lie, but Zhu Jiuyin is dead, so how could He possibly warn me to be careful?"

Zhou Yan looked at Bixia Yuanjun in front of him, and then at Huanxi Bodhisattva beside her.

Because I am only 18 years old, while the Bodhisattva of Joy and the Jade Maiden of the Azure Clouds are thousands of years old, their minds and supernatural powers are definitely stronger than mine now.

4. If they cannot see it themselves, then they…

Can I lend myself a hand?

The second disappointment for Zhou Yan was spoken by the Bodhisattva of Joy.

“This humble nun has never been to Zhangwei Mountain, nor has she ever seen Zhujiuyin.”

Having never been to Zhangwei Mountain and never met Zhujiuyin, one naturally wouldn't understand Zhujiuyin's thoughts and past.

Zhou Yan helplessly cast a last hopeful glance at Bixia Yuanjun.

Bixia Yuanjun shook her head slightly, displaying great grace and poise, yet she made Zhou Yan feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Before Zhu Jiuyin's death, Zhu Bo had no contact with Ben Yuanjun, and Ben Yuanjun does not know much about the past between Zhu Jiuyin and Zhu Bo."

This was how arranged marriages were conducted in ancient times. They only considered social status and family background. A young couple might be complete strangers who had never met before getting married.

Before being betrothed by Houtu Niangniang, Bixia Yuanjun had no idea who Zhubo was. After meeting him and discovering that Zhubo had many problems, she didn't bother to learn more and simply ran away from the marriage to Mount Ling.

Zhou Yan's face darkened.

“Benefactor Zhou.”

The Bodhisattva of Joy offered this advice.

"Although Yuanjun and I are unaware of the secret between Zhubo and Zhujiuyin, but..."

The Bodhisattva of Joy looked in the direction of the Pure Land Temple, where, not long ago—no, rather, every so often—the roars of Arunas would be heard.

"Isn't there the daughter of Zhu Jiuyin inside the Qingjing Temple?"

Zhou Yan suddenly turned to look at the Bodhisattva of Joy.

The Bodhisattva of Joy suggested.

“Benefactor Zhou, Aruna and Zhujiuyin are father and daughter, and have lived together for a thousand years. Even if Zhujiuyin does not reveal his thoughts to his children, Aruna must know many of Zhujiuyin's secrets through what she hears and sees. Perhaps she can help you relieve your worries.”

4. The Bodhisattva of Joy has a compassionate expression.

"It just so happens that Benefactor Zhou and Aruna seem to have a deep connection..."

Dai Zhouyan's face turned pale.

Buying a marriage partner?

Is this ill-fated relationship good or bad...?

If Er hadn't committed suicide last time, how could he have escaped from Aruna's presence?

9. Bixia Yuanjun claps her hands.

He said, "Yes, yes, Zhou boy, you little Bai Ze, you don't know, do you? These past few days, that white-haired dragon has been shouting 'Big White' every day in Qingjing Temple. You lied to me, it's been making a lot of noise and keeping me up at night. It seems your white-haired dragon cares about you a lot."

Zero is the kind of person who cares so much they'd practically skin me alive to use as a mattress for Him.

Bixia Yuanjun suggested.

"Go ask him, maybe this white-haired dragon will take his intestines out and show them to you."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Liu Zhouyan had some doubts about whether the intestines he pulled out were his own or Arona's.

but……

Zhou Yan also looked in the direction of Qingjing Temple.

Zhou Yan dared not ask Zhu Bo, because this guy seemed to have a good relationship with Zhu Jiuyin. If he asked, he might be hidden some key information and fall into a trap.

Aruna is different; this white-haired dragon said last time that He doesn't like Zhujiuyin.

He prefers Bai Ze, the great white beast that has raised him for hundreds of years and has always been very good to him.

All things considered, it seems that asking about Zhu Jiuyin from Aruna is the most reliable option.

……

Qingjing Mosque.

The little white-haired, red-eyed creature paced back and forth in front of its door, its expression shifting between anger, joy, hatred, and resentment.

In the end, it all turned into gritted teeth.
