A hint of fear flashed across Yu Weiwei's eyes, and she nodded.

Gu Jiu said: "Then why does it have twelve eyes?"

Yu Weiwei sat down, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said nervously, "The Ghost King's arms will continue to grow as his strength increases. Each arm will have an eye. It probably didn't have nine arms before."

Gu Jiu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He sat down very close to Yu Weiwei and asked, "Does your clan have any dealings with the Nine-Eyed Ghost King?"

Yu Weiwei nodded and said, "My brothers told me that if you want to do business in the Ghost Market, you must get the Ghost King's approval. And because our ancestors disappeared, Qingqiu is actually in a bit of a mess."

It can be seen that Yu Weiwei is not cunning at all because of her young age. No matter what Gu Jiu asked, she told him everything she knew.

At this time, Gu Jiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Weiwei, how old are you this year?"

Yu Weiwei's cheeks flushed instantly, and she tapped the ground nervously with her right foot. She said in a trembling voice, "I can't say that."

Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is the age of women in your clan also taboo?"

Yu Weiwei nodded and said, "According to the rules of our fox demon clan, if I tell you my age in person, you have to marry me."

After hearing this, Gu Jiu spat out the tea in his mouth with a "pu" sound.

Damn, he’s even crueler than humans.

Only then did Gu Jiu realize that it was not just a woman’s age that could not be asked, but the age of her mother at all.

From then on, Gu Jiu no longer dared to ask Xiao Hui about his age.

Because of this topic, there was a hint of ambiguity in the air.

Gu Jiu felt very comfortable with this, after all, he had seen this kind of scene many times. The little fox, who had never seen the world, had already lowered his head in shame, and the white boots on his feet kept tapping the ground frantically, as if he wanted to "wear away the stone with water dripping on it."

Fortunately, the servant who had cleaned the guest room came over at this time and said that the room had been cleaned.

Gu Jiu was indeed a little sleepy, so he said he wanted to take a nap first, and Yu Weiwei naturally agreed.

It was not until Gu Jiu entered the room that Yu Weiwei covered her chest and let out a long breath.

She felt like her heart was about to explode.

Good-looking human men are so deadly!

Yu Weiwei's pretty face flushed after she recovered from the intense heartbeat, but when she suddenly couldn't see Gu Jiu, she felt empty in her heart.

Thinking that Gu Jiu was only staying here temporarily, and if he left, it would be difficult for her to see him in the future, she couldn't help feeling sad.

Only then did Yu Weiwei realize that all the poems were true. No matter whether they were human or demon, they would feel happy and sad because of emotions.

She couldn't help but shook her head violently and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Inside the house, Gu Jiu fell asleep.

This guest room feels like a fox den, exquisite and clean, with a bronze mirror and a soft big bed, but no red rope.

After that, Gu Jiu had a dream.

In the fox den, he expected to have that kind of dream, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of dream.

Nightmare!

Chapter 26 Nightmare Eyes

Not sleeping all night is really painful for a lazy person like Gu Jiu.

Although with his physique, he seemed to have no problem not sleeping for ten days and ten nights, but he had developed the habit of sleeping for so many years, so he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

The big, soft bed and the fragrance of rouge and powder in the room made him feel like he was having a sweet dream.

A beautiful dream about a fox.

But he didn't. He didn't expect that what he dreamed of would be the statue in Qingqiu City - the Nine-Eyed Ghost King.

No, to be precise, it should be the Twelve-Eyed Ghost King.

In this dream, it was already night in Qingqiu City.

There was an impenetrable darkness all around, with only a slight light in front of my sight.

Gu Jiu soon discovered that he was standing in the center of Qingqiu City.

The pitch-black statue stood there, its twelve red eyes glowing in the night, looking full of evil.

After being stared at by the statue, Gu Jiu naturally felt uncomfortable, as if being pricked by a needle.

However, the other person's gaze had a strange attraction that drew him closer.

So he walked over.

Those eyes glowing scarlet in the darkness were looking at him, like deep pools of red light.

Gu Jiu involuntarily raised his right hand and pressed it on the eye of one of the statue's arms.

Even in sleep, the touch of the eye was still very real, very cool, but with a sense of flesh and blood, especially when it was still gently turning.

Gu Jiu didn't know why he put his hands on these rather scary eyes, but that's what he did in his dream.

At this time, only a squeaking sound was heard.

Gray smoke emerged from between Gu Jiu's fingers, as if there was a fire burning everything.

The scarlet eyeball that was originally open suddenly closed, but the squeaking sound never stopped.

The gray smoke floated high into the sky, then suddenly sank and rushed towards Gu Jiu's forehead.

Gu Jiu's reaction speed in the dream was much slower, so he could only watch the gray mist rush into his body.

He felt his body go cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his movements became slow.

At this time, the eyeballs of the closed eyes were still rolling, as if they were suffering some kind of torture.

Soon, the Great Sun Tathagata Power that had been dormant in Gu Jiu's body and the righteous energy brought by the Haoyu Sword awakened.

Their awakening was like dragons and snakes rising together, so that Gu Jiu took the initiative in an instant.

Faced with this cold and gloomy air, the power of Tathagata and the righteousness of the sun began to devour it crazily.

After the top energies of the Taoist and Buddhist sects absorbed this cold and gloomy energy, they blended with each other and gradually transformed into a new type of energy.

Gu Jiu only felt that his body was getting warmer and warmer, as if there was a furnace burning inside him.

Correspondingly, both the Great Sun Tathagata's Energy and the Noble Aura were rapidly growing...

"call!"

Gu Jiu woke up from his dream with beads of sweat on his forehead.

This was the first time he had woken up from his sleep in so many years.

His sleep quality has always been too good!

At this time, the sky outside the window had darkened.

Orange-red clouds hung in the sky, as if they were burning.

Looking from here, the fiery clouds and the lush flowers and bamboos outside the window are connected together, creating a very beautiful scene.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a place in the Taiyin world which is full of infinite weirdness.

Gu Jiu tidied his clothes, let out a long breath, and pushed open the door.

At this moment, in the pavilion in the courtyard outside the guest room, Yu Weiwei fell asleep on the table, with a bubble the size of a fist coming out of her mouth.

The bubble was in a state of being about to burst, and it grew and shrank with Yu Weiwei's breathing, and it was very cute when connected with her pretty face.

While she was sleeping, the fox ears on Yu Weiwei's head appeared, making Gu Jiu want to pinch them.

Not long after, there was a popping sound, and the bubbles at the corners of Yu Weiwei's mouth burst. She rubbed her eyes, stretched gracefully, showing the curve of her breasts which were beginning to take shape, and woke up.

When Yu Weiwei found that Gu Jiu was looking at her, she got so excited that she sat down on the ground.

"Gu, Mr. Gu, when did you come out?" Yu Weiwei said with red cheeks.

The reason why she was so nervous was that she had just dreamed about Gu Jiu, and it was the kind of dream that was not suitable for children.

Gu Jiu smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "Just came out not long ago."

Yu Weiwei quickly got up and tidied her clothes.

As she was tidying up, she said nervously, "Since the young master is awake, let's go and have dinner."

Gu Jiu nodded and said, "Where are the two Yu brothers?"

Yu Weiwei shook her head and said, "They probably went to the high priest and won't be back for a while."

Thinking of the expressions of the two brothers when they saw the sculpture in the afternoon, as well as their angry tone, Gu Jiu felt that a conflict was bound to occur between the two sides.

But this was not his business, so he and Yu Weiwei went to the dining room.

Gu Jiu once thought that the food of fox demons and humans was very different, but he didn't expect that these dishes were all served on plates, with exquisite presentation and very delicious.

While eating, Yu Weiwei told Gu Jiu about the local customs and culture.

It turns out that there were actually humans who came to Qingqiu City a long time ago. They and the fox demon clan were both the masters of this land. The two sides influenced each other, and the habits of the human race were very suitable for living, so many customs of the fox demon clan were no different from those of the human race.

While eating, Gu Jiu thought about the dream he had before, and his brows raised slightly.

He really hadn't had that kind of dream for a long time, and he couldn't help but start to wonder if this dream was some kind of premonition or conspiracy.

In the dream, he pressed his right hand on the eyes of the statue, causing changes that were terrifying at first, but ultimately benefited him.

But he knew that this was most likely a trap, a trap set by the statue.

After all, people often say that dreams and reality are opposites.

After dinner, Yuyuan and Yufang had not returned yet.

The night in Qingqiu City was very peaceful. There was no terrible darkness like thick ink, and it was no different from the night in the Yang World.

It's just that it's cloudy tonight and looks a little gloomy.

The foxes and humans in Qingqiu City had no habit of moving around at night, and the surroundings soon became dark.

This scene was very similar to what Gu Jiu had dreamed, so he couldn't help but say to Yu Weiwei, "I want to go out for a walk."

Yu Weiwei looked embarrassed, after all, her brother had told her not to run around.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll just be around here and won't run around."

As he said this, he kept thinking about the statue.

Chapter 27 Facing the Red Abyss

Gu Jiu and Yu Weiwei left the mansion, and the Qingqiu City outside was silent.

There were no lights on the streets, only occasional lights from some houses made the streets seem even darker.

However, this street is brighter than the one in Gu Jiu's dream. The darkness in the dream is deeper, and everything around him seems like another world.

Yu Weiwei was a little nervous, not only because she was alone with Gu Jiu, but also because their clan rarely moved at night.

Although Qingqiu City is safe, it is still within the Taiyin Realm. For them, the night still brings some fear.

Fox demons, like humans, are very afraid of the night in the lunar world.

Because after nightfall, the lunar world becomes a completely different world.

Night is the paradise of ghosts and also the nightmare of these creatures.

Qingqiu is an enclave in the Taiyin Realm and a paradise for their clan, but there is also a feeling of survival in the cracks.

Especially after the disappearance of the ancestors, the forces in Qingqiu have become chaotic. For example, the sudden appearance of the Nine-Eyed Ghost King statue in the city is the best proof.

You must know that the fox demon clan does not believe in ghosts and gods. Placing a statue of the Ghost King in the city is a blatant defiance of their ancestors' teachings.

Yes, now that our ancestors are gone, the ancestral teachings are naturally no longer an unquestionable existence.

At this moment, in the temple of Qingqiu City, Yufang, Yuyuan and several people from the clan were standing there, and opposite them was an old man who looked very frail.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and half of the hair on both sides of his fox ears was gone, making him look particularly old, but he had four tails behind him.

The more tails a fox demon has, the more powerful it is. So even though he is very old, he still has a strong deterrent effect on other fox demons.

He is the high priest of Qingqiu. Since the disappearance of his ancestor, his status has been second only to the city lord, and he is also the father of Yufang and his siblings.
