The capital city at night is half prosperous and half cold.

In front of Tianxiang Tower, there are many cars and horses, the lights inside the building are bright, and countless dignitaries are still drinking and spending a lot of money.

Nancheng courtyard.

Liu Nanxing was sitting in the yard, wearing a brand new cotton coat, looking at the three huts in front of him, as if he was in a dream.

Not long ago, he was worried about his livelihood and dragged his sister to rob and dig graves.

But now, he not only has new shoes and new clothes, he even has a place to stay.

To him, this small courtyard was as luxurious as a royal palace.

Not to mention, tonight, the brother and sister had a feast under Zhou Dao's arrangement, including the crispy and oily roast duck, the fragrant and sweet Babao Zhenfei chicken, the clean and smooth West Lake beef soup...

…

This table of delicacies was the best meal they had ever had in their lives.

"Hehe, God still favors the poor." Liu Nanxing smacked the taste and couldn't help laughing.

The brothers and sisters were lonely and humble like ants, but now they are finally about to change.

Meeting a divine master like Zhou Dao was the beginning of their luck.

"Perhaps I won't have to beg for food anymore, find a stable job, and in a few years, I can help my slave save a dowry."

Liu Nanxing seemed to be a little distracted, and thoughts that he had never dared to think about before came into his mind.

Once upon a time, the poor brother and sister didn't even know if they would see the sun the next day. They were living in precarious situations and living one day at a time was the truest portrayal of this.

Marry? Liu Nuer has never thought about it.

Liu Nanxing never thought that when he really couldn't survive, he would buy Liu Nuer into the rich man's house, which would be a way to survive. As for him, he could only destroy himself.

But things were different now. Liu Nanxing felt that the restaurant was pretty good today and being a waiter there should be considered a decent and great job.

"Hey, in two years, the little girl will grow up, and maybe she can marry a local from the capital." Liu Nanxing was so happy that she felt that life was full of excitement.

At that time, Liu Nuer was considered a true Imperial City person.

"Tsk, tsk, it's really sad. The descendants of the Liu family have fallen to this point, turning into dust like insects."

Suddenly, a burst of playful laughter resounded in the dark night, showing an icy chill.

"who?"

Liu Nanxing stood up suddenly, with hairs all over his body.

The wind howled and the courtyard door opened wide.

In the vast darkness, a bright lantern appeared, as if suspended in the gloomy night.

The bright, white lantern has the word "dog" written on it, which is as strange as a talisman, and there is also an emblem similar to "dog teeth" painted next to it.

"Who is it?" Liu Nanxing was surprised and unsure.

He once heard an old man in the village say that in the middle of the night, wandering spirits wander around at night, making good use of a lantern to enchant people's souls.

Once you lose your soul, you will be like a walking zombie, crazy and stupid, and you will die soon.

However, as soon as his question came out, a response came from the darkness.

"I am the dog demon of Rongshan, the chief of Jidu."

The faint words rang in Liu Nanxing's ears, the lantern got closer and closer, and he entered the courtyard in a daze.

At this moment, Liu Nanxing could see clearly that a man in yellow clothes was holding the lantern, his eyebrows were hooked, and he glowed with a terrifying spirit in the dark night.

"Monster...monster..."

Liu Nanxing turned pale with fright and backed away repeatedly.

That embarrassed look in Ji Duchang's eyes evoked ridicule and contempt in him.

In the cold spring weather, you can see the thin willow trees, and when you look up, you can see the homes of princes and nobles.

"What kind of scenery was the Liu family back then? Who would have thought that the fourth generation of the Dazai, a family of cultivators, would have lived for more than thirty years, but his descendants would be as humble as maggots?"

Ji Duchang's hook-like eyes were filled with coldness.

Back then, the Liu family was so powerful that even if a servant came out, there would be countless dignitaries rushing to fawn over him.

Those people's food and clothing expenses for one day are enough to equal the wealth of an average wealthy household for a lifetime.

The meal Liu Nanxing had tonight was not even as good as the dogs fed by those powerful slaves.

The Liu family, which was so prominent, had declined to this point.

His descendants were so excited about the meal that they couldn't sleep. Liu Nanxing's happy and satisfied look just now made Ji Duchang nauseous.

"You...what do you want to do?" Liu Nanxing asked tremblingly.

He subconsciously moved and stood in front of Liu Nuer's house.

"Don't be afraid, I won't eat you." Ji Douchang grinned, revealing his pointed canine teeth.

"The dog demons of Rongshan have been supplied by the Liu family for generations. Before this family was destroyed, they left a talisman. Once the blood of the Liu family returns to the capital, we will provide help."

Having said this, Ji Duchang's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a cold light.

"Now...come with me."

As he spoke, Ji Duchang held up a bright, white lantern and turned to leave.

However, after he took two steps, he didn't see Liu Nanxing following him, and his face was gradually covered with a layer of frost.

"I...I won't go with you..." Liu Nanxing said tremblingly.

Just kidding, after all, he is just an ordinary person. How could he leave with a monster in the middle of the night?

"It seems you don't know your life experience at all."

Ji Duchang turned around and looked at Liu Nanxing sarcastically.

"It's really sad. They have buried the glory of this clan, ruined their supreme bloodline, and are living as lowly as maggots..."

"The Liu family...is indeed in decline."

The cold words echoed in the dark night, and the white lantern suddenly hung in the air and turned into a ball of flame.

Ji Duchang's figure disappeared like smoke, and the next moment he appeared in front of Liu Nanxing.

"Your Liu family was originally a wealthy aristocrat, a cultivating family, and helped Emperor Qin ascend the throne, but he was ungrateful and destroyed your entire family."

Han Che's breath came from his ears, like ice. Liu Nanxing's whole body trembled and his pores stood up.

As he listened to the words that subverted his cognition, disbelief appeared on his horrified face.

"Your tragic fate is all caused by the current Qin Emperor. Come with me. The Rongshan Dog Demon can help you restore the glory of the Liu family."

As he spoke, Ji Douchang's slender palms had already landed on Liu Nanxing's shoulders.

"I won't leave...I don't want to go with you..."

Liu Nanxing felt his shoulders sink and his head jerked. He struggled hard, but the big hand held him tightly like an iron pliers.

"It's not up to you." Ji Duchang sneered.

He is such a majestic demon, can he easily defeat a mortal?

If he wanted to, he could kill Liu Nanxing with just one glare.

Time has changed, thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, and now the Liu family only has these scraps left, which they can trample on at will.

"Let's go."

Ji Duchang raised his hand, picked up Liu Nanxing, and turned around to leave as if he was carrying a little chicken.

But at this moment, at the entrance of the courtyard, a figure had been standing there for some time, looking at him calmly.

"Are you still out looking for food in the middle of the night? The monsters nowadays have such a big appetite."

The visitor spoke softly and showed a warm smile.

"Master Immortal." Liu Nanxing took a closer look and cried out.

If the person in front of me is not Zhou Dao, then who is it?

"Monster Control Division!?" Ji Duchang smiled coldly.

"Humans, I also know a lot of masters from your Demon Control Division, please retreat quickly, otherwise..."

Ji Du's long hooked eyes were filled with a strong killing intent. He regarded human beings as nothing more than grass. As long as he took action, there would be no survivors in front of him.

It's just that tonight he has a heavy responsibility and doesn't want to cause trouble.

"How about otherwise?"

Before Ji Duchang finished his threatening words, Zhou Dao had already arrived in front of him in a flash, and his generous palm fell on his chest.

"when?"

Ji Duchang's expression suddenly changed, and his many years of fighting experience made him react instinctively. The demonic aura soared into the sky, like flags fluttering, and the terrifying power was enough to crush Liu Nanxing next to him into a pulp.
