Who's Urine Is Yellow, Wake Him Up With It!

Cat Seven had always described the Spirit as scummy and despicable, and Jiang Yue had been skeptical.

Seeing this Reward 3, Jiang Yue gained a new level of understanding of the Spirit. This guy definitely needed a super-strong cleaning agent.

It was just too dirty.

Let alone the fact that Jiang Yue had always treated Xiao Yi like a sister and had absolutely no beastly thoughts about her.

Even if he did, he shouldn't take advantage of someone's vulnerability and demand repayment for a favor.

Moreover, destroying a tender sapling was too unethical. Jiang Yue was genuinely afraid his ancestors would crawl out of Mount Dajin to argue with him.

Most importantly, Xiao Yi was still underage!

Even more critically, the time was limited to tonight.

This...

Torn between being a beast and worse than a beast, Jiang Yue made his choice with tears in his eyes.

"I forfeit..."

Although the Spirit offered choices, it wouldn't make the decision for Jiang Yue.

If he chose to forfeit Reward 3, the Spirit wouldn't comment.

Fortunately, there were three rewards.

Since he forfeited Reward 3, Jiang Yue naturally accepted Rewards 1 and 2 with a smile.

What was the point of risking half his life if not for these rewards?

"Acquired Skill: Divine Gang Exterminates Ghost Hand First Form. 90% success rate against D-class and lower ghosts; 70% success rate against D-class ghosts; 30% success rate against D+ class ghosts; success rate against C- class ghosts does not exceed 5%."

"Host's physical body reinforcement at 50%!"

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Yue clearly felt the blood surging within him, his bones and muscles seemed to be reorganizing, and every cell felt exceptionally active.

This state didn't last long before his body slowly returned to calm.

Immediately, Jiang Yue clearly noticed that his physical functions had indeed been greatly enhanced.

Physical body reinforcement complete!

The Spirit disappeared without a trace, as if despising Jiang Yue for forfeiting Reward 3.

That night, Jiang Yue slept for less than two hours in total, but when morning arrived, he was the most energetic of everyone.

San Gou was second.

The sun was high in the sky, and Jiang Yue's family finally returned home, but it felt like a lifetime ago.

As Jiang Ying prepared breakfast, Aunt called from town.

"Aunt, good morning."

"Ying, I can't stay in town anymore. Aunt is coming to Star City to join you siblings. We're already on our way by car," Aunt got straight to the point, her voice filled with exhaustion and fear.

Earlier, Jiang Yue had asked Jiang Ying to persuade Aunt to come to Star City.

Later, the news reported that all those buried by the mudslide had been successfully rescued. The atmosphere in town had greatly improved, and there seemed to be no further strange occurrences, so Aunt hadn't come.

Why had Aunt changed her mind after only a day or two?

"Aunt, then I'll take leave today and wait for you at home." Jiang Ying welcomed Aunt's family coming over.

After so many bizarre events, sticking together as a family was undoubtedly the best option for now.

"Mm-hmm, Ying, someone died in town again yesterday..."

Aunt lowered her voice and whispered to Jiang Ying on the phone.

After Aunt finished speaking, Jiang Ying's expression turned grim, and Jiang Yue's face was a mixture of emotions.

The death that Aunt spoke of on the phone was almost identical to the cases in Star City these past few days!

The same type of murder case, the same perpetrator was easily identified, but when arrested, the perpetrator kept shouting his innocence, and there were even witnesses to prove the perpetrator was elsewhere at the time of the incident.

Wasn't this a carbon copy of Homeroom Teacher Sun Bin?

Star City had already seen multiple such bizarre cases, and now a similar situation had appeared in town.

With such a high degree of similarity, Jiang Yue could tell with his knees that this was definitely not a coincidence.

Moreover, who knew if any new cases had occurred in Star City during the past night?

"Sister, this world is getting weirder and weirder. I feel like these strange events are happening more and more frequently everywhere. You must be extra careful when you go out."

"Xiao Yue, that girl Su from Building 8 in our complex, the ghost from last night, is her situation the same as what Aunt described? Your homeroom teacher..."

"Yes, it's not just her case. Yesterday morning, there was another incident not far from our complex. We don't know the latest situation from last night. I suspect it's unlikely to be peaceful."

"Are these people really the murderers?"

"I don't know about others, but Teacher Sun definitely isn't. We found an eyewitness yesterday evening."

"How can this be explained? Can the traces at the scene also be faked? Can all that DNA evidence be faked?"

"Sister, you've personally experienced ghosts, so do you think this kind of thing can't be faked?"

"San Gou, do you remember yesterday evening when we entered the residential compound, you said you saw someone twice within two to three minutes, and the locations didn't match at all?"

"Right!" San Gou's eyes lit up. "Second Brother, are you saying someone disguised themselves as another person to commit the crime?"

"If it was a person, that would be easier to handle. I'm just afraid... it's not a person at all!"

Jiang Ying stared blankly, shaking her head. "What kind of world is this!"

"San Gou, I have a mission for you. Starting today, you will be Eldest Sister's personal bodyguard. Whenever she goes out, you follow her everywhere. Whether strangers or acquaintances approach, you must sharpen that heaven-gifted Yin Yang Eye of yours and don't let any evil spirits get close. Understand?"

San Gou considered this mission extremely sacred and glorious.

He puffed out his chest and, in a theatrical manner, loudly declared, "Mission accepted!"

Returning to campus life, the campus order was as usual. It was as if the murder cases and ghost hauntings had nothing to do with this place, as if they were completely isolated.

Jiang Yue was not optimistic. This apparent calm couldn't last long.

Once evil spirit monsters emerged from hiding, they would eventually infiltrate every corner.

What they were seeing now might just be the tip of the iceberg of the hidden world.

A pure land would likely cease to exist from now on.

However, this did not affect Jiang Yue's mood to see Xia Xia.

The little girl had been deliberately or inadvertently alienated by her kindergarten classmates, subjected to various forms of verbal abuse, and clearly had no interest in going to kindergarten anymore. Although several adults accompanied her, she remained dispirited.

It wasn't until she saw Brother Jiang Yue that a faint spark of spirit appeared on her small face.

"Xia Xia, Brother has some super big good news to tell you today."

"Really?" Xia Xia's eyes lit up.

"I found very strong evidence that can prove your father was not at the crime scene at the time."

Jiang Yue directly took out his phone and played the video of his conversation with the old man from yesterday for Xia Xia.

Halfway through the video, his teacher's wife also came over.

"Xiao Jiang, is this real? You can't lie to Xia Xia!" The teacher's wife's eyes showed disbelief.

Her implication was clearly that she suspected Jiang Yue had hired someone to stage this with the old man.

"Teacher's wife, this is a serious matter, would I joke around? The person asking questions is Captain Han from the police station. Do you think he has the leisure for that?" Jiang Yue was polite to his teacher's wife purely because of Sun Bin.

Seeing her current attitude towards Sun Bin, Jiang Yue felt a bit disgusted, but he didn't want to fall out with her on the spot.

"Can this stuff be useful? When will he, Sun Bin, be released?"

"Teacher's wife, whether it's useful or not, it's still a glimmer of hope. As for when he can be released, that's up to the police handling the case. But I believe the innocent will be proven innocent. Teacher Sun's innocence is definitely not an issue."

Jiang Yue didn't want to argue further with this woman. In his opinion, marrying this woman was the biggest mistake Sun Bin made in the first half of his life.

With just one person's salary, he had to support his wife and daughter, as well as his in-laws.

The most frustrating part was having to listen to the nagging of both his wife and mother-in-law every day at home.

If it weren't for Xia Xia, he wouldn't even think Sun Bin had any reason to continue living this life, supporting four people.

He gently flicked Xia Xia's little nose. "Brother needs to go back to the classroom now. Xia Xia must believe in Daddy. He didn't do anything wrong, and he'll come home to be with you."

"Mmm, Xia Xia will always believe in Daddy and Brother Xiao Yue."

The two solemnly pinky-swore, and only then did Jiang Yue leave.

Returning to his seat in the classroom, his deskmate Li Yue was as diligent and focused as ever, reciting famous quotes within the scope of the exam.

Seeing Jiang Yue sit down, although her frail body couldn't possibly cross the boundary, she couldn't help but move her elbow slightly, subconsciously making more space for Jiang Yue.

"Morning." Jiang Yue had long been accustomed to Li Yue's style over the years and didn't waste words.

A blush flashed across Li Yue's face. "Morning."

After six years as deskmates, Li Yue still couldn't overcome blushing when saying "morning."

As soon as Jiang Yue sat down, Tong Di, who was plump and had dark circles under his eyes, turned around from the front row and leaned over Jiang Yue's desk.

"Class monitor, I didn't sleep well last night."

"What, you want me to sing you a lullaby?"

"I can barely eat..."

"With your physique, starving for a few more meals would be good for losing weight."

Jiang Yue teased Tong Di casually.

"No... Class monitor, listen to me."

"I think I'm having relationship troubles."

"These past couple of days, I feel like a girl keeps secretly looking at me in class, which has greatly affected my studies. I'm so flustered, so scared, so worried she'll confess to me. Class monitor, what should I do? I don't want to date right now. Class monitor, can you calculate if I'm experiencing a romantic bloom recently?"

"Who is it? Who has such poor taste?" Tong Di's deskmate Mao Doudou overheard this and leaned in.

"How can you say that? What do you mean 'poor taste'? She has a unique gaze, good at discovering true beauty!" Tong Di protested.

"I just want to know who, whose taste is so heavy?" Mao Doudou, despite his romantic misfortunes, was after all self-proclaimed to be exceptionally talented, a "spear nineteen" existence. His deskmate Tong Di, that fatty, was clearly at the bottom of his hierarchy. How could any girl be secretly looking at him?

"Han Jingjing..." Tong Di's greasy, fat face was beaming with a spring-like aura.

"What?" Mao Doudou almost spat out his breakfast.

Jiang Yue couldn't help but want to laugh. This Tong Di's name was truly fitting; he heard a whisper and thought it was a downpour, his mind was severely degenerated.

"Class monitor, don't just laugh, help me figure it out."

"I've already figured it out. You're lacking urine in your five elements."

"Doudou, your urine is yellow, you're responsible for 'watering' him awake."

"Got it! Fatty Tong, are we going to the restroom, or should we do it right here?"

Tong Di wasn't annoyed. He turned his head leisurely and said with a smarmy grin, "Mao Nineteen, this is pure jealousy."

This little interlude actually livened up the atmosphere quite a bit.

Just then, Deputy Director Shao, who was temporarily filling in for Sun Bin, walked in with a smug look on his face.

"Students I call out, come with me."

"Han Jingjing, Du Yifeng, Wang Shen, Fang Ziyang, Li Yue. These five students, please come out."

"Other students, have a self-study session for now."
