Chapter 31 Actually, I have better skills!

After Gu Jiu showed off his skills in the city, he became famous immediately.

Especially the people of Qingqiu City, their chests puffed up when they heard that a foreigner had defeated the fox demon high priest.

Although the fox demon clan is relatively kind, they have always maintained an attitude of superiority, which makes them quite unhappy.

However, in Qingqiu, their talents are not as good as those of the fox demons, and their cultivation techniques are very limited, so they can only be vassals of the fox demon clan.

Although Gu Jiu is a foreigner, he is also a human being, and he did help them fight for their dignity.

As a result, the ordinary person Gu Jiu became famous again, and rumors about him were everywhere in the streets and alleys of Qingqiu City.

Gu Jiu was also very distressed about this and wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength did not allow it.

Gu Jiu can be said to be the strongest human being that the Qingqiu fox demon clan has ever encountered in history.

The high priest gave in to this.

The Nine-Eyed Ghost King is indeed terrifying, probably even more terrifying than the young man in front of him, but he is still in the Black Styx River, while this young man is in the city.

Just like the legendary sword masters and gun masters, they are indeed scary and can kill you in minutes, but their deterrent power can never be compared to a dagger on your neck.

The city lord was ill, so he asked his son Yufang to prepare a grand ceremony to welcome Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu enjoyed the treatment of a state guest and was too lazy to move, especially since the weather in Qingqiu was good during the day.

In a place as strange and terrifying as the Taiyin Realm, Qingqiu really looks like a beautiful island, perfect for a vacation.

Every time a fox servant dressed up seductively and massaged Gu Jiu's shoulders and legs, they would be driven away by Yu Weiwei.

Seeing that Gu Jiu was about to express his opinion, Yu Weiwei always said politely: "Brother Xiaojiu, their skills are not as good as mine."

Ever since Yufang and Yuyuan started calling Gu Jiu "Jiu Ge", she naturally changed her way of addressing him as well.

Gu Jiu looked surprised and asked, "You are the eldest daughter of the Yu family, and you know these techniques?"

Yu Weiwei quickly patted her chest and said confidently, "Of course! This kind of thing still requires bloodline talent. Of course, this lady is better than them!"

Therefore, under the service of Yu Weiwei, the eldest daughter of the fox demon clan, there would always be an exceptionally comfortable sound coming from the room where Gu Jiu was.

The ill city lord heard the sound outside and secretly wiped away his tears, sighing, "My Weiwei is so pitiful."

Yes, in his mind, Yu Weiwei naturally sacrificed herself to appease Gu Jiu.

Now that Gu Jiu is in Qingqiu City, half of the fox demons think that he is a savior who can keep Qingqiu safe, while the other half think that he is a devil who will become a disaster for Qingqiu if he is not careful.

Undoubtedly, the city lord believes it is the latter.

As the saying goes, "It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away." Now that we have invited the god Gu Jiu, it is not easy to feed him.

If Gu Jiu knew the truth, he would definitely defend himself by saying, "I really just asked Weiwei to make me a big sword. A real big sword, a very pure one, not the kind used by academic masters."

Since he had said that he would protect Qingqiu, and the city lord was ill, he naturally needed to go and express his condolences.

So after enjoying a few good days, Gu Jiu decided to go and see the seriously ill city lord.

Under Yufang's leadership, Gu Jiu came to the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is located at the highest point in the entire Qingqiu, rising slowly along the slope.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a huge tree that requires seven or eight people to hug.

This tree has no leaves, but its branches are covered with pink flowers, blooming in full swing, like a large cloud of fire hanging there.

Such a flowering tree, coupled with an attic made of green bricks and blue tiles, is naturally an exceptionally moving scene.

Gu Jiu had seen many trees, including the one in Taohua An, whose roots were in the sky, so when he saw the big tree, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

This tree is indeed beautiful, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is breathtakingly beautiful.

The air was filled with a strong floral scent, but it was not dull, but rather refreshing.

Gu Jiu followed Yu Fang and walked on the colorful ground to the attic where the city lord lived.

The attic was filled with the smell of herbs, and coughs could be heard from time to time, as if someone was short of breath.

When Gu Jiu entered the city lord Yu Ruyi's room, the fox demon guards were very nervous.

After all, Gu Jiu and the others are currently confused about the situation and don’t know what the other party will do.

If the other party gets angry, it is possible that the city lord will be killed.

As a result, Yu Ruyi waved his hand and drove the guards out.

Soon, only Gu Jiu, Yu Fang and the city lord Yu Ruyi were left in the room, and it was very quiet.

For some reason, Gu Jiu always felt that the smell in this room was a bit strange, with the smell of herbs mixed with some other smells.

Yu Ruyi's bed was covered with a gauze curtain, so Gu Jiu couldn't see her true face for a while.

If he wanted to, Jianmu could naturally penetrate the veil, but out of respect, he did not do so.

At this time, Yu Ruyi started coughing, and while coughing, he said: "Ahem... I am not feeling well and my appearance is scary, so I will not see you, young master."

However, at this time, Gu Jiu frowned and said, "I know a little bit about medicine, maybe I can help the city lord."

After hearing this, Yu Fang immediately said, "That's great, Brother Jiu, please help my father. He has been ill for a long time."

Since Gu Jiu had already said so, Yu Ruyi could only agree. After all, the other party was so strong.

After all, with Gu Jiu's strength, killing him at this time would be a piece of cake.

He didn't know why his son would trust a stranger so much, but things had come to this point and he couldn't change anything, so he could only let it go.

The heavy gauze curtain was quickly pulled open by Yufang, and then Gu Jiu saw a face that was extremely thin.

The other person's face should have been quite majestic, but his excessive thinness made his fox features more obvious, so he looked quite scary.

If I have to sum it up, it's like a green-faced fox demon that has had a lot of blood and flesh sucked out.

Yes, Yu Ruyi's face was slightly bluish. If he closed his eyes and didn't speak, people would easily think he was a dead body.

Gu Jiu walked over, looked into Yu Ruyi's yellowing eyes, and asked, "When did the City Lord's illness begin?"

Yufang said hurriedly, "More than five years."

Gu Jiu pretended to take Yu Ru's pulse, but actually used the method of observing fire to observe the other party.

The speed of the energy flowing through Yu Ruyi's meridians is now very slow, proving that he is very weak.

Soon, Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "City Lord, can you let me lift the quilt?"

Yu Ru nodded, and the quilt on her body was quickly lifted up by Gu Jiu.

This time, Gu Jiu looked more carefully, and there seemed to be light flowing in his eyes.

At this moment, Gu Jiu suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Ruyi's neck.

Yu Fang was startled and asked nervously, "Brother Jiu, what are you doing?"

Gu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Cure the disease."

Chapter 32 The Real Murderer

Gu Jiu grabbed the city lord Yu Ruyi's neck with one hand. His attack looked quite ruthless, and Yu Fang was so scared that her scalp was about to explode.

He kept calling him "Ninth Brother". How could the other party be so ambitious?

Gu Jiu saw Yu Fang's nails were as long as knives and his tail was as straight as a needle. He said calmly, "Don't be nervous."

As he spoke, he exerted more force with his hands. Yu Ruyi on the bed couldn't help but have difficulty breathing. Her whole body was shaking, as if she was about to die at any moment.

"Brother Jiu, stop it." Yufang roared.

At this time, the guards outside were also alarmed and rushed in with bangs.

The next moment, Gu Jiuyi let go and Yu Ruyi vomited with a "wow" sound.

This time he vomited very violently, as if he was going to vomit out his lungs, but what he vomited out was very little, just a string of tiny white spheres.

After vomiting, Yu Ruyi immediately fell on the bed, breathing heavily, like a fish stranded on the shore.

At this time, the guards were already holding weapons and slowly approaching, but Yu Ruyi waved his hand, signaling them to retreat, and sighed: "Thank you, sir, I feel much better."

After hearing this, Yufang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Gu Jiu looked at the string of white spheres and said, "If my guess is correct, this thing should be the eggs of some kind of monster."

"Eggs?" Yu Fang said in horror after hearing this word.

"I saw that the city lord had some small foreign objects stuck in his abdomen, and there was indeed a problem when he took action. If it weren't for my eyes which are barely good, I probably wouldn't have discovered their existence." Gu Jiu explained.

At this time, Yu Ruyi gasped and said, "Young Master, your sword eyes are as sharp as a torch. I asked many capable foxes in the clan to help me investigate, but they found nothing. I didn't expect that you could find the crux of the matter at a glance."

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The things in the City Lord's stomach have not been cleaned out yet. I'm afraid it will take some time."

Yufang was surprised and asked, "Anything else?"

Gu Jiu nodded and said, "Your father is too weak, so today is the only time to remove this much."

As he spoke, sword energy as thick as black hair flowed out from Gu Jiu's fingertips.

Such sword energy is naturally very thin, and it can even be said to be extremely thin, but such a thin sword energy is as easy to use as an arm in Gu Jiu's hand.

The extremely thin sword energy passed through something that looked like an insect egg. With a crisp sound, the white egg instantly broke into two halves, revealing something black from inside.

This white egg was already pitifully small, and the thing inside was naturally even smaller, but Gu Jiu could see it clearly with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Spider?" Gu Jiu couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the small black shadow.

Yes, the shadow has many tiny legs and looks like a spider.

"What?" Yufang was now almost an idiot.

The vomit gave off a disgusting stench, and Gu Jiu signaled for someone to clean it up.

He looked up at the room and found that it was cleaned very cleanly and there was no trace of cobwebs.

There are quite a few of these things in Yu Ruyi's body, but these insect eggs do not have the ability to suck his blood, flesh and energy, so there must be some other means to make him lose weight.

If there is a spider spirit sucking his blood, flesh and essence, where would this spider spirit be?

So, Gu Jiu asked, "Are there any rumors about other monsters here?"

Both Yu Ruyi and Yu Fang shook their heads.

Qingqiu has always been isolated from the outside world. The people and monsters here know each other well, and there are no strange rumors.

The Demon Eye Wall in Qingqiu is also a natural barrier that can isolate the evil creatures from the Taiyin Realm.

If a monster appeared here, it could quietly suck the blood of the city lord and leave its eggs in the other's body, which would be really scary.

Gu Jiu’s first reaction was the city lord’s diet.

But according to Yufang, the food here should be fine, because the city lord's food will be tested for poison before being served, so there is no possibility of poisoning.

In addition, foxes are naturally sensitive to food, unless the poison is truly colorless and odorless.

Moreover, with Yu Ruyi's cultivation level, he is already immune to all poisons, so how could he be poisoned?

Gu Jiu looked at Yu Ruyi, who was still weak, and said, "How do you feel now, City Lord? Can you walk around?"

Yu Ru nodded and let Yu Fang help her up.

After Yu Ruyi put on her clothes, she looked like a skeleton and seemed extremely weak.

After that, Yu Ru started walking and, as Gu Jiu had instructed, just walked around the mansion.

Yu Ruyi and Yu Fang didn't know what Gu Jiu was going to do, but Gu Jiu's ability to discover those eggs was better than that of countless fox doctors, so they naturally followed his instructions.

Yufang supported her father as they walked in the courtyard. Gu Jiu did not follow too closely, always keeping a distance of more than a hundred steps from him.

The weather in Qingqiu today was not very good, with a cold wind blowing. Therefore, Yu Ruyi, who was already weak, had a hard time walking, as if she would fall down if the wind blew.

However, since Yu Ruyi could become the mayor of Qingqiu City, he must have some extraordinary qualities. He gritted his teeth and persevered, and at the same time put his body strength on his son.

Now Yu Ruyi no longer has the strength to maintain her human form, so her fox ears and tail are exposed.

He has three tails, which is rare in a thousand years for someone of his age, indicating that he is indeed gifted.

It was just because he had lost too much essence and blood that the fur on his fox tail was dull and lifeless, like a bunch of dry grass.

The guards were a little surprised to find their city lord walking around the courtyard despite his serious illness.
