Chapter 10

A fool is inherently confused and fearless, unless something triggers an instinctive fear, only then would they feel terrified!

Long Tianba, a top-tier Yuan King with innate superior strength, is one of the three greatest experts in the Yaoyang Imperial Dynasty, honored as the Dragon Martial General. His presence is as majestic as the sky, and he strides with the gait of a dragon and the step of a tiger, exuding a chilling aura that can make ordinary people shudder with fear!

He has killed countless enemies for the dynasty and has beheaded thousands of foes on the battlefield, his无形的戾气确实连傻子都为之害怕颤惊！

When Long Tianba entered the room, Yao Yue felt a suffocating sensation, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

Squeak!

At the same time, a monkey's cry startled everyone.

Yao Yue followed the sound and saw the Six-Eared Macaque being held by the neck by Long Tianba, showing no sign of resistance. However, upon seeing Yao Yue, it cried out urgently, signaling Yao Yue to save it.

Just as Yao Yue was about to speak, Long Yue, who was crouching under the table, jumped up and exclaimed joyfully, "What a cute little monkey! Grandpa, is this the pet you brought for me?"

Long Yue, as intellectually challenged as a child, naturally liked the little monkey.

Long Tianba, showing a rare kind and gentle smile, said, "Yue'er, you're here too. This monkey is a bit mischievous and can't be played with right now. Go out and play with Xiaohong and the others. Grandpa will see to your foolish brother."

Long Tianba dared not let the little monkey play with his granddaughter. Earlier, he had seen the monkey stealing the maids' undergarments, causing them to scream in fright. If he gave it to Long Yue and it hurt her, what would he do?

"No, Grandpa, it's so cute, Yue'er wants to play with it, wants to play with it!" Long Yue pouted and pleaded with Long Tianba.

While Long Tianba was hesitating, Yao Yue spoke up, "Grandpa, let the little monkey play with Yue'er. Although it's a bit mischievous, it won't hurt anyone as long as it's not harmed!"

"There's no need for you to speak..." Long Tianba waved his hand dismissively, but as he did so, a hint of doubt flashed across his face as he looked at Yao Yue, who was lying on the bed.

At this moment, Yao Yue, suppressing his pain, slowly sat up and smiled faintly, "Grandpa, trust me, the little monkey won't hurt Yue'er!"

At this, the little monkey in Long Tianba's hand nodded and cried out repeatedly.

Long Yue, jumping and clapping her hands, said joyfully, "Great, great! The little monkey is willing to play with me. Grandpa, give it to me!"

Long Tianba frowned deeply and looked at Yao Yue, then handed the little monkey to Long Yue, and had the servants take Long Yue and the little monkey out to play.

Only then did Long Tianba turn to Yao Yue and say sternly, "Your mind has become clear?"

Long Tianba was full of doubts. Yao Yue had been in the Long family for several days, and he had even invited imperial physicians to examine him, confirming that Yao Yue had injured his Heavenly Spirit, making it impossible to recover. So, he was always in a state of confusion and mental disorder, unless he could obtain a high-quality medicinal herb to repair his Heavenly Spirit.

High-quality medicinal herbs were extremely precious, and even Long Tianba only had a few in his collection, none of which could repair the Heavenly Spirit, so he couldn't help Yao Yue recover.

However, after Yao Yue disappeared for a few days, Long Tianba now sensed a different feeling from him.

Yao Yue, not daring to hide anything, nodded lightly and said, "Grandpa, a few days ago, I was harmed by someone and thrown into the Absolute Demon Abyss. Fortunately, I was stopped by a protruding rock and didn't fall to the bottom. When I woke up, I was saved by the little monkey, and I realized that my mind had recovered!"

Yao Yue was a disowned son of the Yao family and had now married into the Long family.

The Long family is the first great family of the current imperial dynasty. Yao Yue had already decided to stay in the Long family and prove to everyone that those who once laughed at him and insulted him would regret it.

Long Tianba, the head of the Long family, is one of the three top experts in the imperial dynasty. If he recognized Yao Yue, he could dominate the imperial city, and no one would dare to bully him. Most importantly, he wanted to obtain the Boundary Yuan Technique from Long Tianba to become a true powerhouse and shed his reputation as a fool.

"Haha, well, well... I didn't expect a fool to have such good luck, to be thrown into the Absolute Demon Abyss and not die. It truly proves that those who survive great disasters will have great fortune!" Long Tianba laughed heartily.

Immediately, he took a step forward and grabbed Yao Yue's wrist to examine his pulse.

Although he was not a physician, any Yuan cultivator could distinguish some simple injuries through pulse diagnosis.

"Your meridians are flowing smoothly, steady and unobstructed, and your blood and qi are so vigorous. It seems you are truly better. Not only are you better, but your body has also become stronger. It seems you have had another extraordinary encounter!" Long Tianba said to Yao Yue with a deep voice.

He didn't need to release his aura; just his imposing presence was enough to make people submit!

Yao Yue quickly responded, "There's a pond in the little monkey's cave. After I drank from it, I felt incredibly refreshed, and my body felt full of strength!"

Yao Yue dared not reveal the strange inheritance memory he had obtained, for fear that Long Tianba would think he was a demon and kill him.

"Good, very good. That little monkey is full of spirit and has six ears. It must be a rare celestial monkey. The place where it lives must have a spirit spring, which explains everything," Long Tianba said with a smile, no longer doubting Yao Yue.

"However, although you are better, you must stay in my Long family. When the time is right, you will marry Yue'er and continue the Long family's lineage. You must not have any second thoughts, or I will not forgive you!" Long Tianba's expression turned serious as he said this.

At the same time, he waved his hand toward a table two meters away, and a beam of energy instantly appeared, sweeping up the cups on the table and shattering them into powder.

"Telekinesis!" Yao Yue exclaimed in his heart.

"You should rest well and be a good son-in-law to the Long family. All the glory and wealth will be yours, and no one will dare to bully you again!" Long Tianba said and was about to leave the room.

"Grandpa, wait!" Yao Yue called out urgently.

Long Tianba turned and looked at Yao Yue, "Is there something else?"

"I, I have nothing else!" Yao Yue hesitated for a moment and then said, "Rest assured, I will treat Yue'er well!"

Long Tianba's expression softened, "That's the best!"

With that, he left the room.

Shortly after, a physician came in to examine Yao Yue and confirmed that his injuries were recovering very quickly, which was quite surprising.

The physician changed Yao Yue's medicine and was then called by Long Tianba to ask about the situation, and only after receiving strict orders was he allowed to leave.

Three days passed, and Yao Yue's injuries recovered at an extremely fast rate.

Zhu Fengbo, a mid-level Yuan Scholar, had struck him in anger, and it was fortunate that he wasn't killed. He only suffered injuries to his chest bones and internal organs. For an ordinary person, even with high-quality herbs, it would take at least a month to get out of bed and three months to fully recover.

However, Yao Yue's body seemed to have become demonized, allowing him to recover so quickly.

During these three days, Long Tianba visited him every day, and Long Yue and the little monkey played happily in his room for most of the day.

During these three days, Yao Yue thought a lot and began to plan his path to strength!

He had already determined that he could cultivate the "Ten Thousand Demons Blood Devouring Technique."

So, he only needed to find demon blood to refine to become stronger.

However, demon blood was not easy to obtain and required silver or gold coins to purchase.

The silver coins he had previously owned had been completely swindled away, and now, although he was a son-in-law of the Long family, he had no money at all!

A clever housewife cannot cook without rice!

Now, he needed to think of a way to get some silver or gold coins.

If he had to wait for the Long family to provide them, it would take until next month!

"It seems I need to find a way to get some silver coins. Otherwise, how will I ever become strong!" Yao Yue muttered to himself and sprang out of bed.

Walking to the door, he saw Long Yue and the little monkey playing happily in the pavilion, and he smiled gently, "If things continue like this, with no more disputes, it would actually be quite nice. But, there are still some things that need to be resolved and proven."

Just as Yao Yue was about to step out of the room, a figure quietly appeared beside him.

Yao Yue was startled and called out, "Who's there?"

"Son-in-law, I am Xiao Zhan. The general ordered that you cannot leave this room until your injuries are fully healed," the man said coldly.

This man was none other than Xiao Zhan, the young general who had led a hundred fierce tiger cavalry to welcome Yao Yue back to the city three days ago!

Yao Yue, though not as terrified as he was of Long Tianba, could still sense a bloodthirsty aura emanating from Xiao Zhan, and he thought to himself, "What a guy, he must have killed countless people to have such a bloodthirsty aura!"

Yao Yue, who was cultivating the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Devouring Technique, seemed to have become more sensitive to blood qi.

"Xiao Zhan, thank you for your help three days ago. I, Yao Yue, will remember it," Yao Yue bowed and smiled at Xiao Zhan. Then he patted his chest and said, "After resting for three days, my injuries are almost fully healed. Please, Xiao Zhan, let me go out for some fresh air. I've been cooped up for days!"

Xiao Zhan's cold eyes flashed with doubt, and he said, "I only follow the general's orders."

"Orders are rigid, but people are flexible. Grandpa only forbade me from going out because he thought I was still injured. Now that I'm better, I should be allowed to go out," Yao Yue countered, then rubbed his hands and gave Xiao Zhan a "sly" smile, "By the way, how much is your monthly salary, Xiao Zhan?"
