Chapter 336 A wolf in sheep’s clothing
Although it was late at night, it was still summer and the night was still a little hot. However, Yi Changle's words were like a basin of cold water filled with ice cubes, pouring Fuzhu from head to toe.

The chill penetrated through her limbs and bones and hit Bok Joo's heart, making her shiver uncontrollably.

“And these peeled human skins will be worn piece by piece by piece by the yellow-eyed monsters.” Yi Changle said, with a little more disgust between her eyebrows. If you look closely, you can see the anger hidden in the depths of her eyes. “The most important thing is that when these yellow-eyed monsters wear human skins, the skins are still covered with blood... After being peeled off from people, they wear them directly without even cleaning them.”

"Blood drops one after another drip down the human skin and continuously fall to the ground. Looking around, all you can see is a blanket of blood. That bloody scene can be described as hell on earth." Combining the situation in his mind at the moment, Yi Changle felt that what he said was absolutely true.

"It was as if they had agreed on this, or maybe the yellow-eyed monsters were already used to it. They turned a blind eye to such a bloody scene. After putting on the human skin, the yellow-eyed monsters gathered their strength and moved in different directions, leaving behind only a criss-crossing, winding and rugged bloody road."

"The longer the yellow-eyed monsters walked, the longer the blood trails stretched. From dawn to dusk, the color of the blood trails gradually changed from dark to light, until the blood color completely disappeared, and then the yellow-eyed monsters stopped." Yi Changle's voice showed a bit of fear at the right time. "No matter which direction the yellow-eyed monsters go, they will always stop at the same time, and after they stop, there will always be a big door in front of them."

"Gate? What gate?" Bok Joo asked anxiously, as if she couldn't wait to confirm something.

"The front door of every household." Yi Changle gave an example in a calm voice, "The front door of aristocratic families, the front door of officials, the front door of wealthy families... Of course, there are also the front doors of poor families. These families are located in the east, south, west and north, and seem to have no connection at all, but there is only one thing that can connect them together."

"Things?" Hearing these two words, Fuzhu's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "What are they?"

"Monster with yellow eyes."

"Monster with yellow eyes?" Upon hearing this answer, Fuzhu's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. He said in dissatisfaction, "Young Master, how can a monster with yellow eyes be a thing?"

"You're right, the yellow-eyed monster is really nothing."

"You!" The humiliation in Yi Changle's tone made Fuzhu couldn't help but widen her yellow eyes, and even looked at Yi Changle with yellow eyes filled with anger.

"What's wrong?" Yi Changle blinked innocently.

"Nothing... nothing." Seeing Yi Changle's expression, Fuzhu was immediately deflated, "I just think what you said makes sense, young master. Anyway..." Fuzhu's tone was light, and he turned the subject back, "Since these people are located in different places, how can the yellow-eyed monster connect them together?"

Hearing this, Yi Changle rolled up his sleeves calmly, pointed at the skin of his arm that was exposed to Fuzhu's view and said, "Because of it."

Thinking that since they both knew the truth, there was no point in continuing to act like this except to tease Fuzhu, Yi Changle stopped playing tricks on Fuzhu, "The human skin on the yellow-eyed monster is the key to connecting these families."

……

"Knock, knock, knock..." In the quiet night, when no one was around, there were sudden knocks on the door. The one knocking on the door was the yellow-eyed monster.

"As if they had agreed, they raised their hands and knocked on the door in front of them at the last moment of the hour of the rat." Yi Changle paused, then continued, "The hour of the rat is when people are fast asleep. Being woken up so suddenly would make even the best-tempered people angry. But when those who were woken up opened the door with angry faces and saw the yellow-eyed monster standing outside, they would cry and hug them. The anger in their hearts would have dissipated the moment they saw the yellow-eyed monster."

"Could it be that the people inside the gate know the yellow-eyed monster outside the gate?"

Looking at Fuzhu who still held out a glimmer of hope, Yi Changle curled his lips and said, "Miss Fuzhu, the answer is obvious, isn't it?" Without waiting for Fuzhu's response, Yi Changle continued, "What the people in that sect recognize is not the yellow-eyed monster, but the human skin covered by the yellow-eyed monster."

"'Welcome home'. The yellow-eyed monster that knocks on the door will definitely hear these words."

Bok Joo lowered her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something, but her involuntarily clenched fists completely exposed her inner unrest.

When Fuzhu raised his head again, the look he gave Yi Changle gradually became more ruthless, but his tone became much calmer, "I wonder if that mysterious old man has told me the purpose of the yellow-eyed monster?"

"I wonder if Miss Fuzhu has ever heard an interesting story when she was a child?" Yi Changle said to himself, "A flock of sheep on the mountain was targeted by wolves, but there were so many sheep in the flock that if the wolf appeared directly, it would inevitably disturb the sheep. So the wolf put on sheepskin and mixed into the flock. From then on, the number of sheep in the flock decreased every day until there was no sheep left on the mountain."

Yi Changle smiled at Fuzhu, "Since you're wearing the skin, it's for devouring."

"The story you told is novel, I have never heard it before. But stories are just stories after all." Fuzhu's voice gradually became colder. "What's more, it is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. A wolf in sheep's clothing is still a wolf after all. If it is a wolf, how can it hide in the flock of sheep for a long time without being discovered?"

"If the wolf can graze with the sheep during the day and play the role of a sheep properly, it will naturally not be discovered."

"Rules?" Bok Joo raised an eyebrow. "Since the young master used this word, it must be describing more than just sheep."

"But sheep are different from humans after all." Bok Joo raised her hand and pointed at her temple. "Humans can think, but sheep only lower their heads to eat grass. In your story, maybe the sheep will never find the wolf among the flock until they die, but humans are different. As long as they come into contact with each other, even if the yellow-eyed monster is wearing human skin, there will always be someone who can sense that something is wrong."

Yi Changle shook his head and said affirmatively: "I can't detect it."

"How could they not notice it?" Fuzhu sneered, "Take you, young master, for example. Even if the yellow-eyed monster peeled off your skin and put it on in front of your grandmother and brother, they would definitely notice something was wrong because they know you and what you really look like."

"That's true, but what if the yellow-eyed monster has all my memories and behaves exactly like me?" Yi Changle asked Fuzhu, "If a yellow-eyed monster like this stands in front of my grandmother and brother, will they still be able to detect something wrong?"

Bok Joo looked incredulous and murmured, "What does this mean?"

"Of all the words that old man said, the one that left the deepest impression on me was 'Once the yellow-eyed monster puts on someone's skin, it can truly become that person.'"

"Really become that person?" Bok Joo kept on talking, and the rustling sound became more and more rapid.

“Once the yellow-eyed monster puts on human skin, it will possess human memories, thus hiding among the human race without any flaws and will never be discovered.” After saying this, Yi Changle shuddered, as if he thought of something terrible.

Fuzhu, who had been observing Yi Changle, certainly did not miss Yi Changle's actions, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" "It's nothing, I just thought that the person who accompanies you day and night will become a yellow-eyed monster that exudes the stench of a dead body after shedding his skin..." Yi Changle pursed his lips and whispered, "It's really scary and disgusting."

A gust of wind blew by, and somehow, Fuzhu suddenly heard a provocation in Yi Changle's tone. In that moment of clarity of mind, she felt that the "distant guest" in front of her might not be as simple as she had imagined.

Fuzhu frowned, and for the first time in so many days, she looked at Yi Changle from top to bottom with an inquiring look. Just after this look, Fuzhu felt that Yi Changle's appearance had changed. Not only was his skin whiter and his lips red, but even his Adam's apple had disappeared. He didn't look like a man at all, but more like a woman.

"What on earth are you!" Fuzhu asked Yi Changle in a stern voice. Fuzhu thought about it in her heart. She had lived for so many years and had never heard of any life form in the Three Realms that was difficult to distinguish between male and female, or sometimes male and sometimes female.

"Me?" Yi Changle was surprised by Bok Joo's sudden outburst, but he still pretended to be stupid and pointed at himself to maintain the role he was playing.

"Stop pretending to be a fool, you really look like him." These words suddenly came to Yi Changle's ears.

"you……"

"and who are you!"

Before Yi Changle could say anything, Fuzhu pointed at the Hongmeng purple energy and shouted, "How did you get in?"

Without waiting for Hongmeng Ziqi to answer, Fuzhu took action first and stretched out her tongue in the direction of Hongmeng Ziqi. Hongmeng Ziqi did not move, but when the disgusting tongue was still one foot away from it, it moved its fingers slightly, and Fuzhu and her outstretched tongue froze in place.

Finally it was Yi Changle's turn to speak, "Why are you coming out at this time?" Yi Changle was really confused.

"Help you."

"help me?"

“Rustle, rustle…”

Yi Changle took a deep breath and suggested to Hongmeng Ziqi: "You have already fixed Fuzhu, so can't you also make her tongue stop making any sound?"

"But I'll have to torture her later."

"Just you? And torture?" Fuzhu didn't understand the danger she was in at all. Although she was pinned down, she still looked arrogant and said contemptuously: "Although I don't know what kind of magic you use, but since you are wearing a black robe and dare not show your true face, you must be a villain. Don't forget, you are still standing on the territory of my Fuxing City! I advise you to let me go quickly, otherwise, with just the two of you, I'm afraid you won't even have a complete body left."

Fuzhu's words left Yi Changle speechless, "What about the intact bodies? You want to peel off our skins, how can you leave the bodies intact?"

"That's right." Fuzhu rolled her eyes and gave another suggestion, "How about I give you two some Ma Fei San when I peel your skin, so that you don't feel the pain?"

"Do you think this is buying vegetables? Can you bargain?" Hongmeng Ziqi moved his fingers again, and this time Fuzhu's signal was completely immobile.

Seeing this scene, Yi Changle helplessly held his forehead and asked Hongmeng Ziqi: "Why did you suddenly show up?"

"Didn't I tell you? I don't want to see you playing dumb..." Looking into Yi Changle's eyes that were filled with anger, Hongmeng Ziqi quickly swallowed the rest of his words, "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble."

"I just had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea." Hongmeng Ziqi said, pointing at Fuzhu, "Since they can put on human skin to pretend to be human, why can't I put on her skin?"

After Hongmeng Ziqi finished speaking, he blinked at Yi Changle in the blind spot of Fuzhu's vision.

Yi Changle instantly understood the meaning of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and said calmly: "Then peel it off. I have also explored the situation of Fuxing City in the past few days. With me covering for you, you should not be discovered in a short time."

Hongmeng Ziqi nodded and handed a knife to Yi Changle, "Then let's get started."

Yi Changle took the knife, fiddled with it, and commented: "This knife is quite sharp."

"I sharpened it specially." Hongmeng Ziqi said proudly, "Wouldn't it be sharper so that it would be easier to peel the skin?"

"It's easy, but I don't know where to start." Yi Changle then turned his attention to Fuzhu, "The top of the head should be good, so that the incision can be covered with hair and not easily discovered."

"As for the tongue." Yi Changle pointed the knife at Fuzhu's mouth, "Just cut it off directly. It just happens that her tongue is long enough, which saves us a lot of trouble."

As Yi Changle said this, he dropped the knife. Just when it was about to hit Fuzhu's tongue, he suddenly stopped, "I almost forgot. Usually at times like this, you should give her one last chance to speak, so that she can say some last words or something."

"Then should I untie her?" Hongmeng Ziqi asked tentatively.

"Untie it."

The moment Fuzhu found that she could move, she quickly retracted her letter and said, "You..." Before she could finish her words, Fuzhu suddenly stopped, covered her mouth tightly with her hand, and then continued, "What do you want?"

"What do you want?" Yi Changle raised his eyebrows at Fuzhu, "It seems that Miss Fuzhu wants to negotiate terms with us?"

Fuzhu covered his mouth with more force. "My magic power is not good. You can take me down, but if you want to deal with the entire Fuxing City, this person alone..." Fuzhu glanced at the Hongmeng purple air, and then quickly retracted his gaze, "It is not enough."
