Realm of the Night God

"Want me to guess? Hehe... You're really annoying. Let me guess... You're probably not a demon, right?"

The demonic woman skipped the main point and instead brought the conversation back to the original question.

Yang Haoran's smile remained on his face as he asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Your reaction just now and what you said make me think you're not a demon, but a human. Moreover, I suddenly remembered something. It seems I've never heard of our demons becoming Underworld Envoys. As for why the demon suppression talisman would attack you, I think... Do you have something from our monster clan on you? It's just that its demonic spiritual power is sealed, so I can't sense its presence?" The woman smiled provocatively.

"Hehe, you guess."

Yang Haoran responded with a smile, but this answer brought a displeased look to the demonic woman's eyes.

She spoke with effort, and this man in front of her just smiled, then said two words.

Guess?

If asking you to guess could solve the problem, why bother asking?

The more the demonic woman thought, the more irritated she became. She felt that Yang Haoran was playing with her. Yang Haoran, on the other hand, remained unchanged in demeanor, still wearing that gentle smile.

In fact, at first, Yang Haoran was a bit puzzled about why the demon suppression talisman would actively attack him. However, he soon figured out the problem.

As the demonic woman said just now, if there was something from the monster clan on him, even if it was sealed by Demonic Qi, it could still be sensed by the demon suppression talisman.

As for what made the demon suppression talisman sense it, Yang Haoran thought of the demonic pill he carried with him.

This demonic pill had its demonic spiritual power sealed by him, making it impossible for the outside world to sense its presence. However, even so, stronger demon suppression talismans could still sense its existence.

The demon suppression talismans on the wooden door were all black talismans, powerful and numerous. Stacked together, their power far surpassed that of a single demon suppression talisman. They could sense the presence of the demonic pill, and Yang Haoran didn't find it surprising.

Because he had found the cause, Yang Haoran didn't dwell on the issue before. Since the problem was with the demonic pill, he could simply place it in an independent space later, and the problem would be solved. So, he remained calm.

When the demonic woman guessed that there was something from the monster clan on him, Yang Haoran wasn't surprised. The strong Demonic Qi emanating from the demonic woman indicated she wasn't an ordinary demon. In Yang Haoran's eyes, there was nothing particularly strange about it.

"Actually, whether you're human or not doesn't matter. I'm not interested in what monster clan thing you have on you. However, both of us are currently trapped here. If we join forces, we can surely leave this place and regain our freedom."

The displeasure in the demonic woman's eyes disappeared, and she suppressed her dissatisfaction with Yang Haoran. At this moment, what she cared about most was that Yang Haoran agreed to join forces and destroy the demon suppression talismans here. If Yang Haoran agreed to work with her, what did a little dissatisfaction matter to her?

Compared to freedom, that bit of dissatisfaction meant nothing to her. Moreover, once she recovered her freedom, she would have plenty of opportunities to vent her frustrations. There was no need to be in a hurry.

However, Yang Haoran's next answer made her feel an urge to go crazy.

"Whether you can guess that there's something from the monster clan on me or not, I thought you had some insight. But now, with what you just said, my opinion of you has changed." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

The provocative smile on the demonic woman's face stiffened once again. How could she not know about the independent space? She had her own independent space. It's just that she didn't think about it just now and overlooked this aspect.

Yang Haoran thought that the demonic woman might explode. Although he didn't speak harshly to the demonic woman since her appearance from that rotten head, the provocation in his words was quite evident.

If she had a more irritable temper, she would have attacked him long ago, and there wouldn't be any need to argue here.

But what Yang Haoran didn't expect was that, after a moment of hesitation, the demonic woman's face unexpectedly lit up with a seductive smile again.

"If it weren't for Underworld Envoy big brother's reminder, I wouldn't have thought of this. Since that's the case, how about we make a deal?" The demonic woman asked with a smile.

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Yang Haoran raised an eyebrow, smiling as he asked.

"As long as you're willing to help me escape, I'm willing to offer a certain reward." The demonic woman said with a smile.

Yang Haoran's face became even more cheerful. Looking at him, it seemed as if the demonic woman's words had genuinely touched him.

However, Yang Haoran's true thoughts were not so. He had no intention of helping the demonic woman escape because once she regained her freedom, there was no telling how many people would become her prey.

The demonic woman had previously mentioned that in the eyes of humans, animals and plants were food. In the eyes of demons, humans were food. It was a world of survival of the fittest, a perspective Yang Haoran agreed with.

However, he, Yang Haoran, was human, not a demon, and that was his standpoint.

He wasn't a saint, nor a goody-two-shoes, but he wouldn't casually release a man-eating demon unless he was truly forced to. And at the moment, he clearly hadn't reached that point.

While he didn't entertain the idea of releasing the demonic woman, he was quite interested in the reward she mentioned. If it was indeed something valuable, his gains from today's journey would increase.

"A reward? What kind of reward?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"I see that Underworld Envoy big brother seems to pity them. As long as Underworld Envoy big brother is willing to help me escape, I'm willing to give you their skeletons."

The demonic woman pointed to the bundles of white bones on the ground, along with the already decomposed human head, and smiled as she spoke to Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran's smile froze for a moment. He never dreamed that the so-called reward from the demonic woman would be like this.

"Beauty, you have a strong sense of revenge, huh? Are you playing with me?" Yang Haoran's mouth twitched, and his smile became forced.

These skeletons probably had been dead for a long time, most likely their souls had already dispersed. Even if the souls hadn't scattered, what use would he have for these bones? Just burying them, hoping for the deceased to rest in peace?

If he could easily handle this matter, Yang Haoran wouldn't turn a blind eye. Burying their remains in the soil was no big deal, just like he had buried the old farmer's bones before.

However, using these skeletons as bargaining chips to ask him to do something he wasn't willing to do, Yang Haoran naturally wouldn't agree. After all, he had no personal connection with these people.

Such meaningless and unbeneficial tasks were not something Yang Haoran would do, and he had no obligation to do so.

Yang Haoran's reaction amused the demonic woman. The provocations from Yang Haoran earlier had left her feeling uneasy, but now, seeing Yang Haoran's response, she felt much relieved.

"I thought Underworld Envoy big brother was a kind-hearted person. I didn't expect I was wrong." The demonic woman chuckled.

"It's not that I'm wrong, you're just blind. I am an Underworld Envoy, and my duty is to guide their souls, not to collect their corpses. Why would you give me their bones? Am I going to take them back to use as firewood, like you?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Even if not as firewood, they can be made into various decorations. Don't you humans like turning all kinds of bones and teeth into decorations? Hehe... What's wrong? If it's human bones, you don't like them?" The demonic woman asked with a smile.

"Do you think you're funny?" Yang Haoran asked with a laugh.

"Where's that coming from, Underworld Envoy big brother? I'm just stating the facts." The demonic woman laughed.

"You're really adorable. I feel like pinching you. Farewell!"

Yang Haoran threw out these words with a smile and turned to walk towards the door.

His sudden decision to leave left the demonic woman unable to continue laughing. Anxiety appeared on her face as she watched Yang Haoran walk away.
