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

Therefore, both Yinglong and Medicine Buddha told Zhou Yan that they had to go to Mingyue Temple to save Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. Only by passing the test with Bodhisattva Samantabhadra could they withstand the traps inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

After Zhou Yan went and rescued the Bodhisattva, Bai Ze Tu returned to his body, and his awakening level increased to 91%.

It was under these circumstances that Zhou Yan rescued Su Zhaojun from the Seven Treasures Pagoda.

The moment he was rescued, Bai Ze's body transformed into a stream of light and converged onto Zhou Yan's body.

Zhou Yan received many of Lao Bai Ze's memories, and through this, he also learned something, which was quite subtle: it was the origin of the meme virus.

In fact, everyone is dead.

Three hundred years ago, a great calamity struck, and all living things perished.

Everything we are living now is actually not meant to be alive, so the closer we get to this truth, the closer we get to death.

Memeviruses are the reality of this world, that everything has already passed away.

Chapter Nineteen

Seeing Zhou Yan's expression become unreadable, Su Yue, a fox who had lived for hundreds of years, immediately sensed something was wrong. At the same time, Su Yue chose a very normal way to deal with this situation—changing the subject.

Su Yue's beautiful eyes swept over Zhou Yan, then landed on the little Yama King seated beneath him.

"Young lady, I see that you possess a restrained divine light, with a myriad of mountains and rivers gathered in your eyes. You are probably no ordinary person. You must have exerted a great deal of effort to save my daughter this time, right?"

Little Yama took a sip of Qingqiu's immortal wine and slowly shook his head.

"No, this time I was just holding the line from the rear. The main credit... goes to Bai Ze."

Whether it was dressing as a woman or discovering the trap set by Bai Ze inside the Seven Treasures Pagoda, it was all Zhou Yan's own effort; Little Yama didn't take credit.

The stars Wenqu and Wuqu also echoed this sentiment.

"Indeed, indeed, it's all thanks to the young master."

"I'm just a handyman, I wouldn't dare say I've made any great contributions. I'm just grateful to have been treated to some good food and drink."

Su Yue shook her chin slightly.

"You're too kind, everyone. I will always remember Bai Ze's contributions. Even if you only lend a helping hand, it is a great contribution to me. If you ever need anything from Qingqiu in the future, please feel free to come to me, and I will do my best."

Little Yama, Wenquxing, and Wuquxing spoke at the same time.

"Your Majesty is too kind."

Su Yue glanced furtively at Zhou Yan, whose expression had not improved. Su Yue, being a shrewd person, did not dare to approach him and instead continued to chat with Xiao Yanjun, Wenquxing, and Wuquxing.

"Since you three all come from the human world, and I haven't been there for hundreds of years, could you tell me what has happened in the human world during these hundreds of years?"

Xiao Yan Er Jun and Wu Qu Xing both had normal complexions, only Wen Qu Xing's complexion changed slightly.

She felt that this scene could be written into her 18+ story later, except that Queen Su Yue of Qingqiu would be replaced by a princess.

The plot is that on that very night, the little fox princess, curious about the human world, sneaked into her room.

Wenquxing smiled enchantingly.

"Your Majesty may not know this, but the world has changed dramatically in the last two hundred years. And these changes may be far greater than the transformations brought about by the accumulation of civilization over the past few thousand years."

"Oh……"

Su Yue's expression was solemn. Based on her memories of being reborn in another body, the human world had indeed changed a lot, but Su Yue didn't have a systematic understanding of it, nor did she know exactly how much the human world had changed.

"Please tell me, young lady, what changes have occurred in the human world?"

Wenquxing cleared his throat.

"The biggest change is primarily the transformation from an agricultural society to an industrial society..."

……

Two hours later.

Besides Wenquxing, Su Yue also kept him behind to inquire about the changes in the human world and the past. Wuquxing, Xiao Yanjun, and Zhou Yan came out of the banquet hall one after another.

Upon arriving outside the hall, Little Yama and Wuquxing surrounded him, and Zhou Yan clasped his hands in greeting to the two of them.

"Brother Yan, Brother Wu, I'll leave the rest to you."

Little Yama nodded to Wuquxing, and Little Yama couldn't help but say something.

"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; I, Yan, am truly destined for a life of toil."

Wu Quxing, who had been enjoying the banquet with satisfaction, couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

"We will handle it as soon as possible."

Little Yama and Wuqu Star left.

Zhou Yan simply found a palace, walked from the first floor to the roof to enjoy the breeze.

Holding Zhou Yan in her arms, Su Xiaowan tugged at her tiny, pink paws and asked in confusion.

"Brother, you seem to be in a bad mood?"

Having been with Zhou Yan for a long time, the perceptive Su Xiaowan could sense the subtle changes in the mind of this man who had raised her for so long. For example, Zhou Yan now gave Su Xiaowan the feeling of being very serious.

Zhou Yan smiled wryly.

"It's not that it's bad, it's just that there's pressure."

Zhou Yan reached out and stroked Su Xiaowan's lower abdomen. There wasn't much hair there, but it was softer, and the temperature in her lower abdomen was higher, making it feel more pleasurable to rub.

Su Xiaowan's hair stood on end.

"Are they the Nine Phoenixes?"

Su Xiaowan gritted her teeth.

"Are they forcing my brother to do something he doesn't want to do?"

In Su Xiaowan's eyes, Zhou Yan, the brother who raised her, was already the strongest true god in the human world. The things that such a true god could be troubled by were things that only those who were also true gods, such as Jiu Feng and Alona, ​​could cause.

Zhou Yan patted the little fox's head.

"If only it were that simple."

Zhou Yan coughed a few times, and a few streaks of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood away, and Su Xiaowan, smelling the bloody scent emanating from his mouth, asked in confusion.

"Brother, are you looking for ≠：蜀?∶群、〃：耙_∥∶】“潞〕3～”?'○Er's gums are bleeding?"

Su Xiaowan once saw a post on her phone from an office worker who spat out toothpaste foam full of blood while brushing his teeth in the morning. The office worker was so frightened that he went to a nearby hospital and spent 5,000 yuan on a full-body checkup. The result was bleeding gums.

Su Xiaowan didn't think Zhou Yan, the giant Bai Ze, would suffer from internal bleeding; she could only say it was bleeding gums.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Seeing Zhou Yan's hesitant expression, Su Xiaowan became even more certain of her thoughts.

I guess it's because my older brother has an unhealthy lifestyle. He eats spicy vermicelli for breakfast, spicy blood curd for lunch, a buffet for dinner, and then goes out for barbecue late at night.

This lifestyle caused her brother to get a sore throat. Although Su Xiaowan didn't know why a true god would get a sore throat, she had made up her mind that once she could perfectly transform into human form and her cultivation was strong enough, she would run away to Qingqiu to live with Zhou Yan and take care of him every day.

"Okay, that's about right..."

Zhou Yan squatted on the ground, knowing there were some things he couldn't easily explain to Su Xiaowan, so he decided to leave the matter aside.

“Brother, brother, if you feel tired, or if you need to trouble Jiufeng and the others.”

Su Xiaowan's little hands patted Zhou Yan's chest up and down, her eyes slightly upturned, revealing an inexplicably alluring charm.

Foxes and dogs are both canines, but foxes, whether they smile or have a normal expression, are more charming and seductive than dogs. The foxes of Qingqiu have taken this to the extreme.

Even though this little fox wasn't human, every frown and smile gave Zhou Yan a strong sense of allure, making him unable to resist wanting to pet the little guy and bully him mercilessly.

"Why don't we stay in Qingqiu for a while? We can say that we're injured and need to recuperate there!"

Su Xiaowan rubbed her head against Zhou Yan's chest.

"Xiao Wan takes care of her brother. All her brother needs to do is get up and go to sleep every day."

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"No."

Su Xiaowan looked up, feeling wronged.

"Why? Is it because you're afraid of the Nine Phoenixes?"

"No, I'll die if I don't have a computer, a phone, or internet."

Su Xiaowan: "..."

"All right."

Zhou Yan comforted Su Xiaowan.

"I'll make time to visit you often, Xiaowan, so please don't look so sad, okay?"

"Goo-hoo, okay, brother..."

Footsteps sounded from behind Zhou Yan, followed by a cold voice.

"Bai Ze, you really dote on children."

The voice was familiar. Zhou Yan slowly turned around and saw Feng Baiping, the Holy Maiden of Qingqiu and the one in charge of the Nuwa Palace, walking over.

The female fox was still dressed in a revealing black veil, exuding a subtle fragrance as she walked, captivating the heart.

Zhou Yan withdrew his search: Si [↓ Lu [% jiu ~ 〃 Qi Ba Ling] looked away, and Feng Baiping sat down next to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but move his buttocks a little further away.

Feng Baiping said sadly.

"She used to love holding me while we looked at the moon, but now she's afraid to get even a little close to me."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Isn't it because we're not familiar with each other?

However, seeing Feng Baiping's secretly sad and melancholy expression, Zhou Yan couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say.

Feng Baiping looked down at everything beneath her feet. Because there were few foxes in Qingqiu, most of the Qingqiu Royal Palace was dim and silent, and the desolate atmosphere after its glory filled the building complex.

Feng Baiping loved this atmosphere so much; she felt that the buildings here were as heartbroken as she was.

Su Xiaowan quietly shrank into Zhou Yan's arms. She didn't dare to offend the Qingqiu Saintess beside Zhou Yan, but the thought that it was her in Zhou Yan's arms, not Feng Baiping beside him, made Su Xiaowan feel a sweet warmth in her heart.

"I will be leaving Qingqiu soon."

After being exposed to the wind for a long time, Zhou Yan finally managed to utter these words.

Feng Baiping said knowingly.

"I heard from that girl Zhaojun that you still have a big matter to deal with, right?"

Zhou Yan looked utterly helpless.

Zhou Yan felt that the world was already in a terrible state, but there was a bunch of bastards who insisted on doing whatever they wanted in such a critical situation.

While it might not cause the world to collapse (as some might say), it's something that can't be ignored, since it involves oneself (as some might say).

"You need me..."

"Need help?"

Zhou Yan could hear the anticipation in Feng Baiping's tone.

Zhou Yan wanted to refuse, but for some reason his heart softened.

"Not for now... If I encounter any trouble that I can't handle, I'll come to you, Holy Maiden..."

Feng Baiping interrupted.

"Just call me Xiaobai, that's what you used to call me."

noob?

Isn't that a name for Aruna?

Bai Ze, how many people did you call "Little Bai" back then?

Zhou Yan thought of a news story about a playboy who was dating 28 women at the same time. When his behavior was exposed, a reporter asked him how he could date so many women without worrying about mixing up their names. The playboy replied that he had given all his girlfriends the same nickname.

"Um, Xiaobai..."

Feng Baiping smiled enchantingly.
