No matter whether it was the monsters in the lake or the people on the Netherworld Ship, their eyes never left the closed cabin.
As time passed, even Qin Huang, who had absolute confidence in Gu Jiu, gradually began to feel a little uneasy. His handsome face was tense and his eyes became more ferocious.
Not to mention Chang Fa, the demon who had just made a contract with Gu Jiu, had become pessimistic.
The group of water monsters surrounding the boat were not at ease at this time either.
They were all a little worried because they were not sure what the attitude of "Master Jiao" was towards these human cultivators, and they really couldn't guess his current attitude.
Why did he suddenly pull that woman into the cabin? Was he planning to do this or that to her first and then eat her up
It's no wonder they have such thoughts, because many demons, after cultivating into spirits and being able to transform into human forms, will become curious about certain love affairs between men and women in the human world. They will choose those handsome men and women among humans, disguise themselves as humans, and have an unprecedented love affair with those humans that is unacceptable in the world.
There are monsters that truly fall in love with humans, but most of them are only interested in the physical part and not the real part. Not only do they play with people's hearts, but they also end up eating their bodies - literally eating them.
Lord Jiao suddenly chose to transform into a human form. Could he be planning to do something like this
They thought back to the human woman in the boat just now. She was indeed a girl with stunning appearance and temperament. Not to mention those humans, even the fairies with excellent appearance after transformation were rarely as beautiful as her. It was normal for Master Jiao to suddenly want to play a game that was not about heart but about sex...
Just as the water monsters were daydreaming, the cabin door finally opened.
The first person to come out was Gu Jiu, followed by a man in a black robe and a belt with a golden bell around his waist. The golden bells swayed gently as he walked, but there was no ringing.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces showed shock.
The water monsters couldn't believe it and wondered if they were blind. Otherwise, why did they feel that Lord Jiao followed the human woman like a little wife, even taking special care of her in his pace. He didn't dare to take too big steps and followed her closely.
"Miss!" Qin Huang jumped out and looked at Lu Ji warily, "Are you okay?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay, what could be the problem?"
Qin Huang still stared at Lu Ji, "You just talked to this..."
"Don't worry, there was no fight. We just had a peaceful and friendly chat." She emphasized the four words "peaceful and friendly".
At this time, Qin Huang saw the dangerous-looking man in black robe smiling at him, but that smile was very cold and could not be described as kind. He did not look like a good person - no, he did not look like a good monster.
Gu Jiu did not explain the meaning of Lu Ji's identity.
Because it is too troublesome to explain, and Qin Huang has never seen Lu Ji in person, he will not explain it for now and will talk about it when they meet in Wujie City in the future.
The water monsters also listened to what Gu Jiu and Qin Huang said, and then looked at Lu Ji and found that he did not refute, as if he agreed with her words.
They were really just chatting peacefully and friendly for a while.
As for what they talked about, no one knew and no one dared to ask, but the man’s attitude could be seen from it.
He treated this human woman differently and his attitude was very subtle.
After confirming the situation, the water monsters looked at Lu Ji very obediently, as if waiting for his orders. Whether to fight or retreat was entirely up to him.
Lu Ji said coldly: "All of you retreat and wait for my call."
The water monsters naturally did not dare to disobey his orders and responded one after another. Although they were not sure whether this person was "Lord Jiao", because of the unfathomable pressure from him, they decided to treat him as Lord Jiao.
Even if Lord Jiao came back someday, he would not be able to defeat him and would not be able to take back his territory. It was not that they looked down on Lord Jiao, but after secretly comparing them, they determined that the monster who had taken Lord Jiao's identity was more powerful.
Anyway, everyone has to recognize a boss, and of course it should be the most powerful one.
Water fairies are not only obedient, but also very sensible.
They went over and picked up the fish monster from the boat.
The battle tonight was caused by the fish demon. If the fish demon had not given the water condensed from his demonic power to the evil people in Zhangzhe Town and conspired with them to ask them to send a young and beautiful woman as tribute every month, Gu Jiu and the others would not have been attracted.
The fish monster is the culprit, so naturally he cannot be forgiven.
"Sir, what should we do with this fish?" the beautiful water snake demon asked softly.
The scales on the fish monster's face exploded.
He never expected that things would turn out like this, and he didn't understand why Lord Jiao would treat these human cultivators so well instead of expelling or killing them.
Lu Ji didn't say anything and looked at Gu Jiu.
Seeing this, the water monsters' eyes flickered slightly, and they decided to re-examine the relationship between this adult and Gu Jiu. However, the fish monster vaguely felt something, and the whole fish was in despair.
Gu Jiu asked, "Why did you cooperate with the evil people in Zhangzhe Town?"
The fish demon dared not to answer, and said tremblingly: "Someone introduced them to me. As long as I give them some water condensed by demonic power, they will pay tribute to me with a young and beautiful woman every month..."
"What about the women?"
"I keep it in the town near Lake Bi'in."
"What do you keep it for?" Qin Huang asked in confusion. He originally thought that the fish monster wanted a tribute to be eaten.
The fish demon said very honestly: "I just keep them and go ashore to live with them when I have nothing to do..."
After his heaving answers, everyone finally understood that those women were kept in the town by him like his wives and concubines, and they couldn't help but be speechless.
Qin Huang pointed at him and said, "You are just a fish. Instead of looking for a female fish to give birth to little fish, you actually find so many human women to be your wives. Aren't you afraid of kidney deficiency?"
The fish demon defended himself, "I don't like female fish, I just like human girls, they are sweet, soft, and considerate..."
And what is kidney deficiency? Monsters don’t have kidney deficiency!
Qin Huang was speechless. He was shocked to find that humans, the most intelligent creatures on earth, had lost to a monster.
Gu Jiu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and didn't want to know whether the monster would suffer from kidney deficiency, so he said directly: "Don't let this happen again in the future, understand?"
She looked sternly at the monsters present.
The water monster said nothing and continued to look at Lu Ji.
Of course Lu Ji wanted to support his girlfriend, and said sternly: "From now on you are not allowed to persecute humans, and you are not allowed to interfere in human affairs. You should all concentrate on cultivation. If you have any other intentions, you should be treated like this."
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked it, and the water in front of Biyin Lake seemed to be cut in two by an invisible blade.
I saw a black hole vaguely visible at the bottom of the lake. In the black hole, there was a monster of unknown species, imprisoned in a cage made of cold iron and Yin stone. From the aura emanating from it, it can be known that it is very powerful.
All the people and monsters paused, as if they were shocked by the scene at the bottom of the lake.
Until the scene at the bottom of the lake was submerged by the lake water and the lake surface returned to calm, the people and monsters present did not react and were still shocked.
Shocked by this scene, the water monsters present turned pale and no longer had any other thoughts.
Although the fish demon was reluctant to leave his wives and concubines, he did not dare to disobey Lu Ji's orders. He could only put on a sad face and said that he would send those wives and concubines away tomorrow.
Seeing that nothing was happening here, the water demon was about to take the troublesome fish demon away to teach him a lesson. Gu Jiu asked, "By the way, who was the one who connected you with the evil people in Zhangzhe Town?"
The fish monster honestly answered a name, Gu Jiu wrote it down and let the group of water monsters leave.
Qin Huang watched the water monster disappear into the lake, glanced at the man who was still on the boat, and moved closer to Gu Jiu, asking, "Miss, are we going back?"
Gu Jiu responded, turned the Netherworld Ship around, and headed towards the shore.
Qin Huang frowned when he found out that the man actually stayed, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, this dragon... is not going to leave?"
"He's not leaving for now." Gu Jiu said calmly.
Not leaving? Are you going to follow them
Not to mention Qin Huang's frown, even Chang Fa had a conflicted look on his face.
There was no way. This dragon that suddenly appeared was too strong. With him following me, not only would I feel insecure, but I would also have to worry about making him unhappy one day and being crushed to death by him.
The Netherworld Ship sailed on the lake under the moonlight for a while, and suddenly saw a group of people flying towards them on swords.
In addition to the six Taoist nuns, there were five men and women in white. They all had extraordinary temperaments, especially the young man in the lead, who had a face like the breeze and bright moon, a dot of bright red cinnabar between his eyebrows, and a temperament as stern as frost and snow.
Seeing the approaching Netherworld Ship and the people on board, the group of people in white stopped vigilantly.
The nuns were very happy, "Miss Gu, Master Qin, are you okay?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "We are fine. How about you? Have you rescued everyone?"
"They've been rescued." Mu Ying said happily when he saw that they were fine, "Thanks to the fellow Taoists from Kunshan, they arrived in time and helped rescue them..."
There were so many people who were swept into the water earlier, and even though the nuns tried their best to save them, many people were still washed away by the waves.
The situation was very bad at that time. A storm came suddenly and the lake was surging. Seeing that the waves were sweeping more and more people to the bottom of the lake, Kunshan disciples in white clothes suddenly appeared and helped them rescue people.
Even after everyone was rescued, the storm still did not stop. The nuns were worried about Gu Jiu and the others, so they planned to go into Biyin Lake in the rain to look for them.
The Kunshan disciples learned the whole story from the Taoist nuns, so they naturally couldn't just leave it alone, so they followed them.
This is why they came together.
"This is Kunshan's chief disciple, Chu Xiu Yu. They recently went out to gain experience and happened to be nearby. They sensed the demonic energy here and came over to investigate." Mu Ying explained the reasons for the Kunshan disciples' arrival and introduced them to each other.
The disciples of Kunshan are famous all over the world, have extraordinary strength, and are quite arrogant towards people and things.
Originally, they were still arrogant when facing Gu Jiu and others. They chose to follow here because of Kunshan's teachings - to slay demons and uphold justice. Knowing that there were demons causing trouble here, they naturally could not stand idly by.
Who knew they would encounter this scene when they came here.
There are not only people on this ship, but also monsters, and one of them is a powerful monster whose true form cannot be seen.
Chu Xiuyu looked warily at Lu Ji, who was dressed in a black robe and looked like a night demon, and reluctantly greeted Gu Jiu and the others, and asked, "Who is this... Excellency?"
Even if he was a disciple of Kunshan, he would not rush forward like a fool when facing a monster that was too powerful to be estimated.
So even though they knew that this person was a monster, they did not directly point at his nose and call him a monster.
Lu Ji glanced at the group of Kunshan disciples indifferently, then looked away as if he was not interested, and stared at Gu Jiu silently.
The Kunshan disciples who were swept by his gaze felt a chill in their hearts. An indescribable pressure as deep as a mountain struck their minds. They were startled and dared not to underestimate this male demon whose identity they did not know.
Gu Jiu said: "This is the dragon that is cultivating in Biyin Lake."
Kunshan disciple: “…” It turned out to be a dragon!
Even though the Kunshan disciples were knowledgeable and experienced, they were still frightened and shuddered.
The Taoist nuns were also stunned, but they had spent quite a while with Gu Jiu and had an inexplicable trust in her, so even though they were afraid of the dragon, they did not lose their composure due to fear. They just looked at Gu Jiu and listened to her arrangements.
"You all should get on the boat." Gu Jiu invited them to get on the boat and smiled very gently at the nuns, "Thank you for coming to see us."
The nuns also smiled and said cheerfully, "I'm glad you're all right. We were afraid we were too late."
Compared with their ease and joy, the Kunshan disciples felt uncomfortable all over and stole glances at the people and the dragon on the boat.
