Maybe I shouldn't die.

They soon reached the top of the hill where a small mound stood alone.

Seeing this, the woman could no longer hold back and lay down on the mound crying bitterly.

"My poor Xiaohan, if you were gone like this, how could I live?"

The middle-aged man standing by couldn't help but burst into tears. His only son, who could jump and call his parents, had turned into a lonely grave.

But he was a man after all, and his control over his emotions was better than that of the middle-aged woman. He helped the crying middle-aged woman up and comforted her, saying:

"Madam, it's getting late. Let's take Xiaohan back first."

Hearing what he said, the middle-aged woman wiped away her tears and spoke with a sob.

"You're right, we have to take Xiaohan back."

The two men quickly took out a few hoes from the man's backpack and started digging the grave. The middle-aged man handed the boy a hoe and said to him:

"Xiao Xia, come and help."

Although the other party looked like a child, he did not forget that he was actually a monster, so there should be no problem in getting him to do some work.

The boy took the hoe obediently and answered softly.

"it is good."

Follow the couple to dig the grave.

Fang Yue, who was following behind, clearly saw the boy's silent and sarcastic look from an angle that the couple could not see.

The three of them worked together and the corpse was quickly dug out. Three months had passed since the owner of the corpse had died.

The corpse had long since rotted away, leaving only a pile of bones.

The couple carefully wrapped the bones tightly with the cotton cloth they brought and put them in the backpack they brought. Then they stood up and said to the boy beside them.

"Let's go back."

Han'er's body had been retrieved, and the moon was now covered by dark clouds. Coupled with the constant howling of wolves all around them, the couple couldn't help but become terrified.

Only at this point did they realize they were afraid.

The boy did not object and led the way without hesitation.

But he knew that these wolves were attracted by the woman's hysterical howling.

Fortunately, she didn't cry for long and the wolves had not gathered yet. He didn't want to deal with this group of wolves, so it would be better to go back early.

With the boy leading the way, he deliberately avoided places where they might be discovered by wolves, and the return journey for the three of them was very smooth.

After returning to the courtyard, the couple couldn't wait to carefully put away the bones, and then said to the boy.

"I will go to the coffin shop early tomorrow morning and order a coffin for your brother. Don't show up tomorrow."

The boy was a little frustrated, but still nodded obediently. Since he had to hold a funeral for the other party with a legitimate reason, then this face was indeed not suitable to be shown in front of people, he answered softly.

"I know mother."

The middle-aged man next to him hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Xiao Xia, can you change your appearance?"

The boy pretended to be embarrassed, and shook his head after a moment:

"No, Dad. The first time I transformed, I became my brother's appearance. I can't change this."

The middle-aged man sighed, somewhat helpless.

"Okay, but you can't go out anymore."

It’s better not to go out, so as to avoid others discovering the boy’s identity. Then they won’t be able to keep the koi.

The boy lowered his head and answered obediently.

"I know, Dad."

The middle-aged man touched his head with a soothing tone.

"I'm sorry to have wronged you, Xiao Xia. When we make enough money, we will move to a new place where people won't know your brother. Then you can go out openly."

The boy looked up at him, his tone full of surprise.

"Really? Dad?"

Fang Yue stopped listening after hearing this. From an outsider’s perspective, the changes in the expressions of these three people did not escape her eyes.

She could only praise his superb acting skills.

The three of them struggled for a long time before returning to their room to settle down. They had expended a lot of energy tonight and were already exhausted.

After they returned to the room, Fang Yue waited for a while. After confirming that there was snoring coming from the couple's room, the door next door creaked open.

It was Nian Xia who came out of the room. He walked straight to the big tree and said softly:

"I know you're still up there, come down and talk?"

Fang Yue was not surprised. The other party knew she was there. She had followed them all the way and had not tried to hide her whereabouts. The couple might not be able to find her, but the boy would definitely find her.

She already had many questions she wanted to ask the boy.

So she jumped down the tree without hesitation. In order to avoid waking up the couple in the house, she also set up a soundproof cover.

"I see that your demonic energy is pure and upright, and you are following the orthodox demon cultivation path. Don't go astray."

She had guessed that there was some hidden story from the conversation between the koi demon and the couple before, not to mention that now that she met him face to face, his cultivation level was almost the same as hers.

The other party was obviously not some inexperienced little monster. How could he not be able to restrain his demonic aura and be contaminated by the couple? It was obviously intentional.

The koi monster was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this person was actually giving him a warning. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Although he could see that the other party's cultivation level was similar to his, he couldn't guarantee that he could beat the other party. The only reason he dared to do this was because he had a good way of escaping.

More importantly, this matter concerns his cultivation. He really cannot give up on the couple and escape directly. Since the other party did not attack him directly before, he had some hope in his heart.

"Thank you for reminding me, I know that."

The monster was quite receptive to advice, which actually made her feel embarrassed. She didn't know what the cause and effect was between the koi monster and the couple.

So she was not sure whether she could intervene, but she was also worried that if she did nothing, the other party would commit murder later and the Heavenly Dao would pass part of the consequences to her.

She now felt a little regretful that she should not have been involved in this matter, but since Heaven had sent this couple to her, it meant that she needed to do something.

After the previous incident with humans and demons, she had already deeply understood the nature of the way of heaven, so she remained silent for a moment.

Seeing his reaction, the Koi Monster guessed what she was struggling with, so she spoke first:

"After this matter is resolved, I will go to the cave to practice and will not set foot in the mortal world easily again."

Fang Yue looked at him steadily. The boy's tone was sincere and he didn't seem to be lying, but to be safe, she still said:

"Swear an oath to the heavens. As long as you swear an oath to the heavens and do not harm innocent lives without reason, I will leave and will no longer interfere with what you do."

At this point, she paused for a moment, thinking that it was a bit unreasonable to ask the other party to swear the Heavenly Dao oath for no reason, and added:

“And I will also give you an Ascension Order, so that you have the opportunity to go to the upper realm to practice.

However, if you want the Immortal Ascension Order, you must fully explain your birth history and your entanglement with this couple."
