Yao Yue had no idea that he had become a thorn in the side of others and that all sorts of schemes were about to unfold.
Yao Yue temporarily put the matter of Situ Lian to the back of his mind. He went to find his two brothers, Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei, bought a few jars of wine and packed many delicacies, and went to his courtyard to drink to his heart's content.
After not seeing each other for half a month, the three of them were very happy. They drank to their heart's content.
"Boss, did you do something to Little Sister Lan?
The last time I saw her, she actually avoided me and didn't even talk to me. When I talked about you, she almost cried! "Guan Changyun still couldn't change his big mouth.
"Is she alright?" A hint of guilt flashed across Yao Yue's face.
"No way. Boss, don't tell me you don't want to take responsibility after eating her? You're too much of a beast!" Guan Changyun stared at Yao Yue.
"Screw you. I already have a wife. I just want to make things clear to her. I don't want to burden her!" Yao Yue snapped.
Immediately after, Yao Yue explained his family situation to the two of them.
At this point, Yao Yue no longer held anything back from Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei.
If he couldn't even trust his own brothers, who could he trust?
"No wonder you know the Mad Slaughter Fist. So you're the son-in-law of the Long Clan!" Zhang Mengfei came to a realization.
Guan Changyun also revealed a look of joy, "Haha, that's great. My old man used to be a soldier under General Longwu. If he knows that his grandson-in-law and I are brothers of different surnames, he'll probably be so happy that he won't be able to close his mouth!"
Guan Changyun had already told them about his background. He was the grandson of the city lord of Transcendent City.
Guan Changyun's grandfather was once an outstanding disciple of the Imperial Academy. He later joined the army as a soldier under General Longwu and made many contributions. Later, he was given the position of city lord of Transcendent City.
As for Zhang Mengfei, his background was relatively poor. He came from a remote and desolate place.
However, due to his exceptional talent in cultivation, he was able to enter the Royal School.
As for his usual extravagance, that was because he had reached the strength of a Primary General and had hunted many demonic beasts in exchange for a lot of gold ingots. In addition, his personality had always been so forthright, so he was never stingy with others.
This also created a false impression that he was some rich young master.
In fact, from his plain clothes, he didn't look like a young man with a good family background.
Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei both knew of General Longwu's reputation!
It could be said that the Dragonmartial General was even more famous than the Emperor in the dynasty. It was fine to not know who the Emperor was, but it was impossible not to know who the Dragonmartial General was.
Now that they heard that Yao Yue was actually General Longwu's grandson-in-law, they were very happy.
However, when they heard Yao Yue talk about his past and how he had married into the Long Clan, they couldn't laugh anymore.
"The Yao family really dared to do this. What a bunch of beasts!" Guan Changyun felt indignant for Yao Yue.
"Big brother, don't think about this anymore. When you take over General Longwu's position in the future, you can trample them all under your feet!" Zhang Mengfei comforted.
"Let's not talk about these dampening words. Let's talk about tomorrow's trip to the Jueyao Mountain Range!" Yao Yue didn't want his two brothers to participate in his revenge plan, so he immediately changed the topic.
"Speaking of this, I still need to rely on the two of you to protect me. I heard that there are demonic beasts roaming around there. If we aren't careful, we'll lose our lives. Although my strength has improved quite a bit in this half a month, it's still not enough!" Guan Changyun said.
"Actually, as long as we don't go deep into the Jueyao Mountain Range, we won't be in too much danger. Of course, there might be some unexpected situations, such as encountering a group of demonic beasts. That would be troublesome," Zhang Mengfei said.
Then, he talked about his experiences in the wilderness over the years.
Zhang Mengfei was an experienced person, and his experience would often be of great inspiration to newcomers who had never survived in the deep mountains and ridges.
Yao Yue also listened very seriously. He was silently calculating in his heart!
He had inherited the memories of the Demonic Emperor and learned the survival rules of the Demonic Beast Clan. However, Zhang Mengfei's personal experiences were also very useful to him. After all, the Demonic Beast Clan was different from the Human Clan.
"This time, we can go in groups. The three of us will be in one group. Although there aren't many people, it should be enough to deal with everything!" Zhang Mengfei said.
"Don't forget that there are still people who want to kill Boss. Are the three of us really enough?" Guan Changyun recalled the assassination attempt on Yao Yue.
Zhang Mengfei didn't know what to say. He looked at Yao Yue.
A playful look flashed across Yao Yue's eyes as he said, "When we reach the Jueyao Mountain Range, we still don't know who will be the one to deal with who. Let's make a name for ourselves and fight for the title of Strongest Newcomer King together."
"Haha, since Boss says so, I'll naturally listen to you!" Guan Changyun laughed.
Zhang Mengfei also agreed, "Only by tempering oneself on the edge of life and death can one become stronger. I will accompany Big Brother to kill all the enemies who come to invade us!"
"Good brother!
Let's do it! Let's drink to our heart's content tonight and kill to our heart's content in the future! "Yao Yue shouted heroically.
"Boss is right. When I become the Strongest Newcomer King, all the beauties will be subdued by my spirit!" Guan Changyun continued to boast.
"Second Brother, I've always heard you brag. It's been so long, but I haven't seen you get one?" Zhang Mengfei asked.
"Hey, Third Brother, can you not undermine me? I'm seriously considering it. Ordinary women won't catch my eye!" Guan Changyun explained.
"Aren't you saying the wrong thing? You should be saying that as long as it's a woman, she will catch your eye!" Yao Yue teased.
"Yes, Big Brother, you're right!" Zhang Mengfei agreed.
"Brothers, there's no need to put me down like this. When I get a few girls to serve me in the future, don't be jealous!" Guan Changyun retorted.
The three of them chatted and laughed. At the same time, they drank and ate heartily. They seemed to be in a very good mood.
That night, they didn't really get drunk. After all, they were going to set off tomorrow. They couldn't afford to have any accidents!
Late at night, Yao Yue didn't sleep with Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei. He was in his own room while his two brothers were meditating outside the hall.
It wasn't that he didn't mind meditating with his two brothers, but he had something very important to do.
He wanted to absorb a type of demon blood. This type of demon blood was only the most common type of demon blood.
With Yao Yue's realm, he should be absorbing a mid-tier demon blood. Why did he choose to absorb a type of demon blood?
The reason was very simple. This type of demon blood had a value that other demon beasts couldn't replace!
Yao Yue didn't expect to obtain this type of demon blood. This was sent to him by Nangong Cai. It was marked as a mid-tier demon blood. However, Yao Yue knew that it was wrong.
This was a type of skylark's blood. It didn't have any fighting ability. It also didn't have the ability to advance. Unless it mutated!
This was clearly not a mutated skylark. However, it was marked as a mid-tier demon skylark's blood. This was a mistake.
But no matter what, this type of blood was very useful to Yao Yue.
The skylark wasn't good at fighting. It was just an ordinary demon bird. However, its voice was one of the most pleasant to listen to. No matter if it was a human or a demon, they all liked its singing.
Yao Yue naturally didn't want to learn its singing. Instead, he wanted to learn its bird language. To be more precise, he wanted to learn its beast language!
Because the skylark understood the language of any demon beast, it could communicate with any demon beast. Therefore, it was called the Language Bird!
Others didn't know its name, but Yao Yue was very clear about it.
He hoped that after absorbing the skylark's blood, he would be able to understand the beast language. Then, he would be like a fish in water in the Jueyao Ridge!
If he didn't have this type of blood, Yao Yue would have to wait until he reached the Demon King level to awaken his demon beast innate talent.
"Haha, the heavens are really helping me. Skylarks aren't that easy to catch. They are very few in number. Their flying speed isn't any slower than a mid-tier flying demon beast. Someone actually managed to kill one. After I refine its blood, I should be able to understand the beast language!" Yao Yue laughed excitedly. Then, he couldn't wait to swallow the blood.
The Ten Thousand Demon Devouring Art was immediately activated. It quickly absorbed the blood and refined it into his meridians and blood vessels.
Yao Yue had reached the mid-tier demon beast realm. He could easily absorb the blood of demons that were lower than his realm. He could also absorb their characteristics for his own use.
Yao Yue didn't need to spend too much time to completely refine the skylark's blood. He also obtained everything he needed.
Yao Yue couldn't wait to test his ability.
However, it was the middle of the night. If he scared his two brothers, it wouldn't be good.
He could only suppress his impulse and take out another mid-tier demon beast's blood to refine.
At his Grand Master's place, Yao Yue didn't dare to secretly absorb the demon beast's blood. He was afraid that his Grand Master would find out.
Now, he didn't have to worry about that. He quickly absorbed the blood and reached the high-tier demon beast realm.
It was a quiet night. The east gradually turned bright!
Yao Yue woke up from his meditation. He felt refreshed and immediately ran to the courtyard to call for the little monkey.
The little monkey was on top of a tree, facing the morning sun and absorbing the essence.
It didn't release the demon core, but it could still absorb the essence of the rising sun.
Yao Yue waited for it to finish absorbing before calling out, "Xiao Liuzi, come here."
"Ji ji!" The little monkey immediately reacted. It called out twice and jumped down from the tree.
Yao Yue had already understood the skylark's innate talent. He immediately recognized the little monkey's voice. His face immediately turned into joy. He seemed to really understand the little monkey's words.
"Xiao Liuzi, say that again!" Yao Yue wasn't sure. He asked the little monkey again.
"Ji ji!" The little monkey called out again.
To an ordinary person, the little monkey's call was no different from the calls of other monkeys. However, to Yao Yue, it had a different meaning.
It was asking Yao Yue, "What did you say again?"
Yao Yue could indeed understand what the little monkey was saying. He suppressed his joy and said, "Call me boss!"
