Realm of the Night God

Inside the study, Yang Haoran lightly tapped his fingertips on the desk, his expression serious, devoid of any smiles.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Haoran paused in his tapping, snapping out of his contemplation.

Seeing only a cigarette butt left between his two fingers, a smile crept onto Yang Haoran's face. He chuckled and habitually pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"This is the plan. I'll prepare for the next few days and then make a trip to Ancheng. I wonder how strong she is now. Compared to her, how much am I lacking?"

With a plan in mind, Yang Haoran didn't continue to rack his brains on the sofa. He stood up, loosened his stiff body a bit, and then checked the time.

It was still early, so he decided to go out and change into a new outfit.

"Since I'm going to Ancheng, I should dress up a bit. Neglecting innate deficiencies without making up for them is truly a waste."

Thinking this, Yang Haoran left the study. Just as he was about to descend the stairs, he seemed to recall something and glanced towards the room where the serpent demon was.

"Although I've sealed her within, in case she can't accept it and wants to break free, it could be troublesome and harm ordinary people. I won't be able to explain to the Spirit Police at that time."

Yang Haoran had made a promise to Deputy Captain Zhou. If something went wrong right after bringing the serpent demon back, even if he didn't explain to the Spirit Police, he wouldn't be able to face them.

After a moment of hesitation, Yang Haoran walked towards the room where the serpent demon, Bai Xue, was located.

At the door, Yang Haoran knocked, and immediately, the voice of serpent demon Bai Xue came from inside the room. However, her voice sounded weak and lacking in energy.

"What's up?"

Yang Haoran hadn't intentionally sealed the power fluctuations and Yin Qi emanating from him, so even if the door wasn't opened, the serpent demon would know it was Yang Haoran knocking.

"I have something to discuss with you," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Serpent demon didn't speak, but Yang Haoran could hear her footsteps. The sound of those footsteps approached from a distance and stopped behind the door.

The door opened, and serpent demon looked at Yang Haoran, a forced smile appearing on her face. Although her smile seemed unnatural, it didn't affect the charm she exuded to the opposite sex.

If a person is exceptionally beautiful, every expression wouldn't diminish their beauty. The serpent demon, in human form, was indeed a monster of that kind.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, what brings you here?" Serpent demon asked with a smile.

Despite her smiling appearance, she had already cursed Yang Haoran thoroughly in her heart. She was already weak, and before she could rest properly, Yang Haoran came knocking again. How could she feel comfortable?

However, she didn't show her discontent on her face. Instead, she put on a smile for Yang Haoran, even though it was forced, it was better than wearing a stern expression.

Yang Haoran didn't immediately answer the serpent demon but instead scanned her body.

Seeing Yang Haoran staring at her body, a hint of disdain flashed in the serpent demon's eyes. Then, she smiled and said, "Underworld Envoy big brother, if you want to see, should I undress myself?"

Yang Haoran's smile froze, then he awkwardly laughed, "Don't get me wrong. I noticed you're wearing tattered plain clothes, so I thought of taking you out to buy some new clothes."

Serpent demon glanced at her plain clothes, which were not only tattered but also had bloodstains in some places. It was indeed quite bad, not like a beggar, but not much better.

"These clothes are transformed by demonic spiritual power. I can repair them anytime I want."

As she spoke, a green light emanated from serpent demon, and as it dispersed, the tattered plain clothes underwent a transformation. Not only were the torn parts repaired, but even the bloodstains disappeared, making them look brand new.

"You see, how is it?" Serpent demon turned around in front of Yang Haoran, asking.

Yang Haoran awkwardly smiled and said, "It's very good, hehe, very good."

"Not only that, I can use demonic spiritual power to transform into any clothes I want. Look."

With that, serpent demon snapped her fingers, and the plain clothes vanished. She replaced them with a set of sexy and provocative clothing.

Following that, serpent demon continued to snap her fingers, and with each snap, her clothes changed into a different set, each more unique than the last.

Yang Haoran's smile became even more awkward. He had come to find the serpent demon because he was uneasy leaving her at home. Therefore, he wanted to use buying clothes as an excuse to take her along.

However, the serpent demon had no interest in buying clothes. Instead, she turned it into a fashion show in front of him, leaving him speechless.

Just as Yang Haoran was considering whether to come up with a different excuse, he suddenly thought of a crucial point. His eyes lit up, and his smile became more natural.

"The clothes you transform with demonic spiritual power are indeed nice. In fact, I can achieve the same with Yin spirit power. But do you know why I don't do it this way?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Why?" Serpent demon asked, continuing to fiddle with her clothes. She seemed quite satisfied with the outfits transformed by her demonic spiritual power.

"Firstly, the clothes transformed by spiritual power will dissipate on their own once the spirit power is depleted. Not even underwear will be left. Imagine encountering this situation during a battle; think about how embarrassing that would be."

Serpent demon's actions paused, and her smile froze.

"Secondly, there are countless eye techniques in this world, each with different abilities. In the face of some eye techniques, these transformed clothes are as good as nonexistent. Even if you wear virtuous pants, it's no different from being naked in front of certain eye techniques. Think about how beautiful or not that scene would be."

"Third..."

Before Yang Haoran could finish speaking, serpent demon interrupted, taking a step back. She then crossed her arms in front of her chest, no longer smiling, and looked at Yang Haoran with a vigilant gaze.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, people from your Yin Division all have ghost eyes. Does your ghost eye have this ability too?"

Yang Haoran, who was getting into the explanation, was caught off guard by serpent demon's question. He hastily spoke, "You can rest assured. My ghost eye absolutely doesn't have that ability."

"Really?" Serpent demon was clearly skeptical.

"I guarantee it. If my ghost eye had that ability, I would definitely carry a telescope with me all the time. Do you see a telescope hanging around my neck?" Yang Haoran said earnestly.

Seeing that serpent demon still didn't believe him, Yang Haoran felt a bit helpless. However, he patiently continued, "If my ghost eye truly had that ability, I would have seen you thoroughly. Since I've already seen everything, covering up now with your hands doesn't make any sense, does it?"

"Alright, alright. Stop talking. Since I've transformed into human form, I do need a few decent clothes. This way, I'll look more like a person. Let's go; let's not waste any more time."

Serpent demon didn't want to continue this topic. As she spoke, she quickly left the room and then descended the stairs with firm steps.

Watching serpent demon's figure, Yang Haoran let out a sigh of relief but thought to himself, "Finish the deal soon, send her away early to avoid any misunderstandings."

With a wry smile and a shake of his head, Yang Haoran also went downstairs, though he strolled leisurely, unlike serpent demon's hurried pace.

"Aunt, who are you? Are you Uncle Yang's friend?"

Just as Yang Haoran descended the stairs, he heard Xiaokang's voice. His expression changed slightly, and he quickened his steps.

Serpent demon was a demon who ate humans, and in her eyes, little kids like Xiaokang were tender. Many demons loved such talkative little ones.

Although this was Yang Haoran's home, and there was a seal planted inside serpent demon by him, he still felt a bit worried.

However, after clearly observing the situation downstairs, Yang Haoran relaxed, but it was only a slight relief.

Xiaokang was standing in front of serpent demon, his big eyes full of innocence. Serpent demon had a smiling face, patting Xiaokang's head, seemingly fond of the little fellow.

Yang Haoran didn't let his guard down just because of the scene before him. Many humans also loved small animals because they looked cute, but not everyone would spare them just because they liked them.

People were like that, and demons were no exception. Therefore, Yang Haoran remained quite cautious about serpent demon.
