Zhou You, however, paid no mind to what those people were saying. Instead, he looked at his identity token and asked Yao Si again, "How can I make it so I don't hear their voices?"
Yao Si whispered, "Withdraw your spiritual Qi."
Zhou You tried it, and it worked.
Watching Zhou You smile like an idiot, Yao Si felt that his old life was most likely saved.
Zhou You played for a while before putting away his identity token. "Xiao Ji, let's go to Hongshan Town."
Ji Hao said coldly, "Za Yu, are you ordering me around?"
Zhou You urged Yao Si, "You lead the way."
Yao Si pulled out a tattered sheepskin map from his Pregnant. "Young Master, please follow me."
Watching the group leave, Ji Hao gnashed his teeth, his eyes filled with killing intent.
This guy dared to ignore his words?
Was he so eager to die?
Ji Hao gripped the black saber in his Right Hand and chased after them with a fierce expression.
Zhou You asked, "Xiao Ji, what kind of Yao Beast do you think is causing trouble in Hongshan Town?"
Ji Hao said coldly, "How would I know?"
Zhou You was puzzled. "You're so knowledgeable, how could you not know? Actually, I always thought Yao Beasts were only in the outer regions."
Ji Hao sneered, "So they can't be native-born, huh?"
Zhou You was surprised. "Is that so?"
Before Ji Hao could speak, Yao Si began to explain. "The world's waterways are interconnected, and underground rivers crisscross like a chessboard. Land Yao Beasts are easy to find, but aquatic Yao Beasts are difficult to locate. The reason for this is that aquatic Yao Beasts can penetrate deep inland through the complex underground rivers. The Demon Subduing Division has mainly been eliminating this type in recent years. Otherwise, if a large number of aquatic Yao Beasts appeared internally, the entire Hua Xia Dynasty's defense would be dismantled from within."
Zhou You suddenly understood. "So that's how it is."
Yao Si was curious. "Zhou Gongzi, you are a Xuan Pao Demon Subjugator, and you don't know this?"
Zhou You said, "I didn't even understand what was going on. Someone asked me if I wanted to be a regular employee, and when I heard there were benefits, I agreed."
Those things weren't complicated at all.
He even forgot who gave him the token in Ye City; sometimes his memory was just that bad.
Yao Si was dumbfounded.
Becoming a formal member of the Demon Subduing Division meant becoming a formal member of the Hua Xia Dynasty.
In common terms, it meant being an 'insider'.
For this goal, countless Loose Cultivators had died in the mouths of Yao Beasts.
But even so, Loose Cultivators throughout the world still flocked to it. The Demon Subduing Division and the Exorcist Bureau were almost the only ways for them to gain power, and the only opportunities for upward mobility.
A Xuan Pao Demon Subjugator, that was a very high status.
But looking at this guy again, he had a complete lack of concern on his face.
The further Zhou You walked, the more bored he became.
He missed his big black dog.
"It would be great if Dog Fugui were here."
Zhou You thought to himself, "Whenever I asked Dog Fugui to carry me, he never refused."
Recalling that time, it was truly peaceful and free.
But looking at his life after returning, it was a mess of bothersome things every day.
If being a person was like this, it would be better to be a dog.
Zhou You thought to himself, why not just marry a female dog? Living freely in the wilderness from now on seemed quite good too.
Upon this thought, he added 'Yao Race female dog' to his list of potential companions.
Yao Si noticed Zhou You's impatience and began to introduce things with effort. "Young Master, actually, walking has its benefits. As the saying goes, 'a hundred steps after a meal, live to ninety-nine'."
Upon hearing this, Zhou You's face darkened.
Ji Hao sneered, "If you want to die early, run after a meal."
Yao Si continued on his own, "Moreover, there are many benefits along the way, such as enjoying the scenery, breathing fresh air, and relieving stress. Life in the city is too hectic now; everyone wishes they could create a Clone to help them with things. If you ask me, life should be about learning to slow down, not always staring at the goal, but also stopping appropriately to look at the scenery along the way."
Ji Hao's eyes were fierce; he felt this guy was courting death.
He even dared to ignore him, just like Zhou You?
Who gave him the guts!
Zhou Chen clapped, finding Yao Si's words very philosophical.
Just that statement alone showed he had read a lot of books.
Lu Renjia and Zhou Xian remained silent, mainly because they felt Ji Hao's temper was too volatile.
They were always subservient and accustomed to observing expressions.
They could easily sense the fierce Qi emanating from Ji Hao.
Let alone crossing Ji Hao, even being looked at by him could shorten their lives by ten days.
With Yao Si's explanation, Zhou You also relaxed.
"Look, this is a wild strawberry, this is a morning glory, scientifically known as Ipomoea nil, and this is foxtail grass..."
Yao Si was very enthusiastic and actively popularized plant knowledge. "Young Master, look up, this is a stream, this is a ditch, this is a puddle..."
"Shut up!"
Ji Hao roared, "Are you teaching a child to identify objects here?"
Yao Si shrank his neck in fright, feeling that what he said wasn't wrong at all.
Zhou You looked at Ji Hao in confusion. "I think he's explaining it very well, very detailed. Keep going, it's quite fun."
Yao Si cautiously glanced at Ji Hao and continued forward, "Young Master, please look up, this is a woodpecker. This woodpecker is first and foremost a bird, and secondly, it likes to peck wood. Speaking of this bird, men also like to use this word, but in reality, this bird has little to do with men, after all, what man's bird is as big as an eagle?"
Zhou You chuckled, while Zhou Chen didn't understand.
Boom!
Behind them, the airflow surged, creating a deafening roar.
Ji Hao's eyes showed killing intent, scaring everyone into retreating repeatedly.
Zhou You glared. "Are you crazy?"
"I can't take it anymore!"
Ji Hao roared in anger, "All of you shut up! I'll fly you. If anyone dares to speak again, I'll kill him!"
As he spoke, his spiritual Qi transformed into a streak, sweeping everyone up into the sky.
Upon reaching high altitude, the airflow surged.
Everyone fell silent, including Zhou You.
Being carried was enough; no need for more trash talk.
After flying for a distance, Ji Hao angrily shouted, "If you don't speak, where am I supposed to fly?"
Yao Si meekly and cautiously said, "I don't dare to speak, I'm afraid you'll kill me."
Ji Hao's eyes were red. "Raise your Right Hand and point to the exact direction."
Yao Si obediently raised his hand, pointing forward.
Ji Hao gnashed his teeth, feeling like he was about to explode with anger. If he had to listen to Yao Si any longer, he'd want to die.
Finally, it was quiet!
Half an hour later, Ji Hao let out a long sigh of relief, truly loving this feeling of tranquility.
Yao Si's Right Hand suddenly pointed downwards.
Below, low mountains were scattered everywhere, with raging floods surging within them. Figures seemed to be rapidly dodging on top of the water.
Then, the floodwaters surged into the sky, transforming into a Dragon, and rushed towards them.
Zhou You's gaze swept over. "There's Demonic Qi!"
Ji Hao grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth. "Just Za Yu!"
