The two Yaomo introduced themselves to Lin Yu enthusiastically, clearly having no doubt about Lin Yu's "Yaomo" identity.

Although Lin Yu looked exactly like a human, in the Prison Mountain Realm, identifying someone's identity by their aura was far more accurate.

After all, Yaomo can transform into human form, and humans also have many unorthodox Fang Techniques and Secret Technique that allow them to temporarily transform into the appearance of birds and beasts.

However, in the Prison Mountain Realm, the qi and blood in one's body, the True Essence flowing in Meridians, and the "aura" emanating from them are difficult to change.

Although this aura can be altered later in life, it truthfully records how a Living Beings lives and cultivates itself.

What did he eat today, was it meat or vegetables? What kind of practice did he cultivate, was it righteous or evil? What is his nature, is it good or evil...?

These can be roughly understood by sensing the breath.

The aura is like the visible rings of a tree, just as scientists in the Real World determine the age of fossils by detecting carbon isotopes—it is absolutely "precise."

Even within the Ten Realms, and even considering the Supernatural System of Other Worlds, it's hard to imagine... that someone could actually possess such a perfect method of disguising their aura.

Unfortunately...

Lin Yu is perfectly capable of doing that.

After introducing himself, the Bear Yaoguai named Daybreak stepped forward and said, "Alright, brother, we've introduced ourselves. Now it's your turn to state your name!"

The Angry Boar demon named Heavenhowl nodded, his tone even more wary than that of Daybreak: "Indeed, you've appeared near the Cave Dwelling of our two friends... what is your intention?"

Although the possibility that Lin Yu is a member of the Daoist Sect or is of Human Race has been ruled out...

However, the Yaomo of the Prison Mountain Realm never assume that each other is friendly simply because they are both Yaomo.

Therefore, the two demons were still somewhat probing and wary of Lin Yu.

However, since Lin Yu was a "transformed" great demon who could perfectly move in human form, his level and Xingyi were clearly above the two of them, so the two of them did not make a scene, but instead used the Wisdom of Yaomo to ask questions indirectly.

Lin Yu remained calm, not revealing his identity, but instead asking in return, "You two gentlemen said you came to celebrate your friend's birthday, so I'm here... of course, to celebrate his birthday too."

Upon hearing this, the Giant Bear Great Sun was overjoyed. "Oh, I knew you were Meng Qingjun's friend! It really does have a wide circle of friends... It actually knows a great demon in human form! I thought it was just drunk and lying to us!"

As Giant Bear Great Sun was about to speak with Lin Yu, Furious Pig Howls at Heaven kicked him in the shin.

"Bang!"

"Aww!"

Daybreak let out a miserable cry, clutching his short, stocky calves that seemed disproportionately small for his tall frame, and hopped around, shouting, "What are you doing, Heavenhowl? Are you jealous of my height?"

"Do you know how much it hurts when you kick me like that!"

The Furious Pig Howls at Heaven cursed the Daybreak: "Idiot! He heard us saying we came to offer birthday wishes; he's probably just trying to trick me!"

"I was even planning to ask him who the owner of this Cave Dwelling is... but you just blurted out Meng Qingjun's name, how am I supposed to ask him now!"

As the Furious Pig Howls at Heaven, the Giant Bear Great Sun, widened its eyes.

"Are you an idiot? Just keep asking him—hey, bro, do you know who owns this Cave Dwelling?"

When Lin Yu heard the Giant Bear Great Sun ask this question, he was momentarily dazed, wondering if these two Yaomo were toying with him.

However, after looking at the face of the Giant Bear Great Sun, and thinking for three seconds, he finally smiled and said, "It's Meng Qingjun."

Giant Bear Great Sun slapped his thigh and looked at Furious Pig Howls at Heaven: "I told you the hell, he's Meng Qingjun's friend, why don't you believe me?"

The Furious Pig Howls at Heaven Roared, "I already told you he knows Meng Qingjun's name—I told you to eat more fresh meat! You eat fruit, bird eggs, and cured meat every day; you've ruined your brain!"

"You've already mentioned Meng Qingjun, and he still said it? Is he deaf or mentally challenged?"

Giant Bear Great Sun wasn't beyond stupid. Hearing what Furious Pig Howls at Heaven said, he fell into thought and then realized what was going on.

But he was clearly embarrassed. He patted his crotch and said with dissatisfaction, "What's all the fuss about? At least we can rule out that he's neither deaf nor mentally challenged, right?"

Lin Yu coughed lightly, interrupting the two demons' argument. "Ahem, gentlemen, let me mention something... Even if I know Meng Qingjun's name, that doesn't prevent you from confirming whether I know him through other information."

"For example, his preferred martial arts techniques, what kind of demon he is... isn't that right?"

Giant Bear Great Sun blinked. "That makes sense... Damn, brother, you're incredibly smart! No wonder you're a transformed Yaomo, you're amazing!"

Furious Pig Howls at Heaven also looked at Lin Yu: "Oh yeah... I didn't even think of that!"

"But since you've said that, you must actually know Meng Qingjun, right?"

Lin Yu laughed, "To be honest, you two... I really don't know him."

As Lin Yu finished speaking, the Furious Pig Howls at Heaven was stunned.

"Hey, you don't know him?"

"Then... what are you doing here?"

"And why are you suddenly telling us you don't know him?"

The Furious Pig Howls at Heaven's eyes were filled with doubt.

After the conversation just now, Lin Yu had confirmed that... the intelligence level of these two monsters was quite limited.

Even in the Black Marsh World, they would be considered the kind of people who are a bit dim-witted.

If this were Mist Island, even a tree branch picked up by the roadside might be smarter and more cunning than the two of them.

So, Lin Yu grabbed Qin Siyu and stepped forward with a smile.

"Because... I did indeed happen to be passing by and accidentally wandered into the vicinity of this Cave Dwelling."

"But when I heard you said you were going to celebrate a friend's birthday... then of course I wouldn't miss it. Don't you think this is quite a coincidence?"

"As the saying goes, every encounter is fate. I came here today because I had a vague feeling in my heart... After meeting you two and hearing your words, I realized that the law of fate is being proven here!"

"That Meng Qingjun... I'd like to get to know her."

The Furious Pig Howls at Heaven and the Giant Bear Great Sun looked at each other, and this time Daybreak was unusually wary.

"You wouldn't be planning something against Meng Qingjun, so you're saying this on purpose... planning to use the two of us to get close to Meng Qingjun and then sabotage him, would you?"

Lin Yu listened to the words of the Giant Bear Great Sun and nodded slightly.

"Your concerns are valid, but that's precisely why I'm being so frank with you both."

"If I intended to harm Meng Qingjun, whether out of ulterior motives or due to long-standing grudges, I should at least know something about him—but I know nothing about him. Doesn't that just prove... perhaps I'm not his friend, but I'm definitely not his enemy either?"

Upon hearing this, the Giant Bear Great Sun seemed to ponder, "What you said seems to make a lot of sense."

But after pondering for a moment, the Furious Pig Howls at Heaven frowned, realizing something was wrong. "Something's not right!"

There's something wrong with what you're saying...

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, wondering to himself if this Angry Boar was actually a little smarter than he had imagined.

Has it already realized the fact that "pretending to know someone you don't know makes it easy to be exposed, but "pretending not to know someone you do know is very simple"?

Had I underestimated the Wisdom of Yaomo?

But just as Lin Yu was about to sincerely reiterate that he really didn't know this "Meng Qingjun," Furious Pig Howls at Heaven spoke up seriously.

"We are Yaomo, so stop pretending... Among Yaomo, even without any grudges or premeditation, it's not uncommon for you to suddenly decide to harm Meng Qingjun or us!"

Lin Yu was stunned when he heard Heavenhowl's words.

He then nodded. "What you say makes sense. There are indeed many such Yaomo, but... I am not like that."

"Furthermore, you've overlooked one point."

"If I truly intended to harm you... why would I go to such lengths?"

As Lin Yu spoke, his voice suddenly turned cold. Pure white Spider Silk emerged from his sleeve and swiftly cut a shallow bloodstain on the chests of the two men.

Heavenhowl and Daybreak's expressions changed drastically, while Lin Yu spoke leisurely.

"After you all gave your names, you asked for mine... but I didn't have a chance to introduce myself. It's not too late to do so now."

Have you ever heard of... the 'Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord'?

Lin Yu spoke calmly, Giant Bear Great Sun's expression Cataclysm.

"The Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord?! I've heard of her; my grandma told me stories about her to scare me when I was little... But wasn't she a woman?!"

Furious Pig Howls at Heaven then chimed in, "Yes... wasn't she suppressed by the Daoist Sect?"

Looking at the two demons' reactions, Lin Yu thought to himself that Zhu Qiansi was quite famous, worthy of being one of the top Great Demon in the Prison Mountain Realm.

He calmly replied, "I never said I was her... I'm her blood relative."

"The Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord is of my kind," Lin Yu said, fiddling with the Spider Silk in his hand. "Even if you haven't seen her in person, you must have heard of her methods, right?"

Heavenhowl and Daybreak nodded in unison, and Lin Yu raised his hand to put away the spider Spider Silk.

"So, if I really wanted to harm you... why bother with all that beating around the bush?"

"Even if I really did have some bad intentions, what can you two and your friends do to me?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Daybreak nodded, and then added.

"You're really amazing... I'm impressed!"

Among Yaomo, everyone speaks through strength and is respected for their power.

Lin Yu had just demonstrated his ability to instantly cripple them, and by invoking the "Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord" as a background figure, he naturally won the two demons' trust and respect instantly.

"So, I just decided to come and offer birthday wishes on a whim... Look, I even brought a 'Blood Food,' who goes to pick a fight or ambush someone with food in hand?" Lin Yu picked up Qin Siyu and shook her. "But it's also a coincidence... This Martial Artists's rank is quite high, so it's perfect as a birthday gift. It's not like I came empty-handed."

"When the time comes, you can stew, boil, or roast it for your friends; it'll be a nice addition to their birthday banquet!"

Qin Siyu, who had been silent all along, looked up at Lin Yu upon hearing this, her expression conveying a sense of "Am I really going to be served up?"
