Realm of the Night God

What did the anchor mean by those words? Adults all understand.

Looking at the anchor's face, which resembled that of a starving ghost, Serpent Demon not only wasn't angry but instead, her smile grew richer.

Intentionally, she spat out a snake's message towards the anchor and chuckled, "Is that so? But you said it."

Finishing her sentence, Serpent Demon turned to Yang Haoran beside her and asked, "Could you give me a little time? I'll accompany him to get a room and have some fun."

Upon hearing this, the anchor's eyes lit up, and with a smiling face, he said to Yang Haoran, "I hope Lord Father-in-law will approve."

Anyone with eyes could tell that Yang Haoran couldn't possibly be Serpent Demon's father. The anchor, of course, was no exception. His words were not just a provocation but also an attempt to please Serpent Demon.

Such crude tactics truly appeared both childish and amusing. From Serpent Demon's attitude towards Yang Haoran and her words, many issues could be discerned. However, the anchor seemed completely indifferent to these signs, reveling instead and considering himself clever, thinking he would soon reap the rewards. Little did he know, in Serpent Demon's eyes, he was merely a movable piece of meat.

Before Yang Haoran could respond to the anchor's words, several young men beside him rushed forward and started beating up the guy.

"Damn it! The thing I despise most in my life is scoundrels like you! You see a beauty and want to make a move! You never care whether she has a boyfriend or a husband! You scum deserve a beating! Brothers! Beat him hard!"

Their fists landed, feet kicked, and the anchor's cries and curses filled the air. His selfie stick was thrown aside, and his mobile phone shattered.

There were quite a few men around attracted to Serpent Demon. The ones attacking the anchor were just a part of them.

These men were friends, here together for leisure. Serpent Demon's beauty had captivated them all. They had been debating who would approach her first, only for the anchor to beat them to it, which left them disgruntled. Hence, one of them suggested beating up the anchor.

This proposal was unanimously agreed upon. To prevent the anchor from escaping, they seized an opportunity and launched a sudden attack.

They succeeded. At that moment, the anchor was too engrossed to notice his surroundings, so he was taken down by them directly, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks, making him wail.

Their blows were heavy, but they avoided vital spots, clearly aiming to inflict more harm without risking his life.

"You guys keep beating! I'll go ask the beauty for her contact info!"

One of them suddenly whispered, displeasing the others.

Seeing their dissatisfaction, he hurriedly explained, "Don't worry! I'll definitely give you guys the number when I get it. Then it's up to each of us to impress her!"

With this assurance, smiles appeared on their faces, and they intensified their assault on the anchor!

And this guy who spoke was the one who had just cursed the anchor as scum. His words earlier might have been filled with righteousness, but his thoughts were entirely different from what he said.

In fact, his goal was no different from the anchor lying on the ground. It's just that they used different skills. Ultimately, they were all birds of a feather.

He thought his and his buddies' actions would surely shock and impress Serpent Demon, allowing him to easily get her contact information. However, what he didn't expect was that when he tried to approach Serpent Demon for her contact information, he found that she and Yang Haoran had already vanished without a trace.

"Stop beating! They're gone! Quickly search! Maybe we can still catch them!"

Hearing this, the men no longer had the leisure to continue beating the anchor. They stopped and began searching for Serpent Demon.

"The show has just begun, why leave?" Serpent Demon looked at Yang Haoran and asked.

"There are plenty of clichéd plotlines like this in cheesy movies. Besides, if we don't leave, it'll be troublesome if the police show up later," Yang Haoran replied as he walked, his voice carrying.

"Hehe, are you actually afraid of the police?" Serpent Demon's face showed disbelief.

"It's not about fear or not, alright, stop talking about that. Let's focus on the matter at hand, so I can make some preparations," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Serpent Demon didn't answer Yang Haoran's question but glanced behind her, smiling at Yang Haoran, "Those guys seem to be looking for us?"

Yang Haoran looked back, smiled faintly, and said, "They're not looking for us; they're looking for you. Quite fearless, aren't they?"

"If you find them annoying, just let me swallow them, drain their spirits, and scatter their souls. Then they won't ever appear in your sight again," Serpent Demon said with a seductive smile.

Yang Haoran shook his head and replied, "I don't want to stir up trouble, so I'd appreciate it if you'd behave."

Serpent Demon's seductive smile remained, seemingly unaffected by Yang Haoran's words, while Yang Haoran's gaze fell on a teahouse.

"Let's go in and sit."

Yang Haoran said, paying no attention to whether Serpent Demon wanted to or not, and headed towards the teahouse.

Choosing to go to the teahouse at this moment wasn't to gather any dog's news but to avoid the men coming after Serpent Demon's body. At the same time, he wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the malevolent spirits in Shilin Town from Serpent Demon.

This matter was a bit more complicated than he had imagined, so he thought it would be good to know more. Serpent Demon didn't want to say much before, probably because she was sulking. Now that her anger had subsided, Yang Haoran thought he might get some useful information.

Seeing Yang Haoran entering the teahouse, Serpent Demon didn't want to go in, but she had no choice. Grumbling, she followed Yang Haoran into the teahouse.

After ordering a private room and the waiter serving tea, Yang Haoran set up a soundproof barrier and went straight to the point.

"Tell me about the situation with these malevolent spirits. What's really going on?"

Serpent Demon smiled seductively, saying, "Looks like Underworld Envoy big brother still doesn't trust me."

Yang Haoran smiled gently and explained, "It's not about trust; it's about my limited strength, so I'm a bit timid."

This response actually made Serpent Demon chuckle. She didn't expect Yang Haoran to say such words. In her eyes, Yang Haoran's statement wasn't modest but rather shameless.

Serpent Demon had witnessed only a glimpse of Yang Haoran's strength. Although she hadn't seen him use his heaven soul or soul weapon, she already considered him quite formidable.

So, in Serpent Demon's eyes, Yang Haoran's seemingly modest words were hypocritical and shameless.

"Underworld Envoy big brother's strength is clear to Bai Xue. Can't you be less modest?" Serpent Demon laughed.

Yang Haoran just smiled and didn't say much, waiting for Serpent Demon to continue.

Serpent Demon didn't intend to tease him because she also didn't want to provoke Yang Haoran and end up on the losing side.

"The reason you can't sense the malevolent spirits is that they are sealed by a restriction barrier," Serpent Demon said with a smile.

"Sealed?" Yang Haoran's smile slowly faded upon hearing this.

If what Serpent Demon said was true, and the malevolent spirits here were indeed sealed, then it would make sense why he couldn't sense their presence. After all, many restriction barriers not only isolate all energy fluctuations and auras of the target but also conceal the barrier's own energy fluctuations. Such restriction barriers are usually quite powerful.

Of course, there are simpler restriction barriers, with lower requirements for the caster. However, they cannot achieve this level of sophistication.

Moreover, restriction barriers are just a general term. Different people, different methods, different tools, and different restriction barriers will result in different effects and uses.

Currently, Yang Haoran was in Shilin Town, unable to sense the malevolent spirits' emanating Yin Qi or the power fluctuations of the restriction barrier. This indicated that this restriction barrier was quite extraordinary.

Thinking about this, Yang Haoran couldn't help but feel a bit angry, and his gaze towards Serpent Demon also became somewhat unfriendly.
