Realm of the Night God

After seeing off Elder Zhang and the other three, Yang Haoran finally smiled and turned his attention to Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou, who looked shocked and puzzled.

He didn't intend to dispel their doubts, and with a smile on his face, he asked Captain Luo, "What brings you two here today? I'm not aware of any particular matter."

The two of them saw that Yang Haoran didn't intend to clear up their doubts, so they didn't dare to ask further.

"We originally came to deliver something to Yang Divine Envoy, but we didn't expect to encounter such a thing," Captain Luo said with a smile, and then he lightly waved his hand. A box appeared on the table.

The box had a fluctuation of power, and it was clear that it had been sealed with a restriction barrier. Without Captain Luo making any move, the restriction barrier on the box suddenly disappeared, and the box opened by itself, revealing a fist-sized fruit that was entirely milky white in color.

From its appearance, the fruit looked a bit like an apple, but Yang Haoran had never seen a milky white apple in his life.

As Yang Haoran looked at the fruit, he seemed to sense something, and his smile faded. He opened his ghost eye, and only saw a thread of milky white gas emanating from the fruit.

When Yang Haoran used his ghost eye to observe the fruit in the box, the serpent demon behind him changed her expression slightly, and she had already recognized what the fruit was.

The serpent demon's emotions were somewhat agitated, and she stuck out her tongue to lick her lips, gazing at the fruit with a look full of longing.

"This is a spirit fruit containing spirit qi, Captain Luo. Where did you get it?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile after closing his ghost eye.

"Yang Divine Envoy, you have a good eye for things. Indeed, this is a spirit fruit containing rich spirit qi. As for where we got it, that's related to some secrets of our government, so..." Captain Luo said with a difficult expression.

"No problem, since it's a secret, I naturally won't ask further. Are you giving this spirit fruit to me?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Of course, it's a gift for you," Captain Luo replied with a smile.

Yang Haoran's face revealed a meaningful smile, and after a pause, he smiled and said, "I understand Captain Luo's intention, so I'll thank you first."

Captain Luo chuckled and said, "There's no need to be so polite between us. Since we started cooperating, we've always gotten along very well, and I hope this can continue."

Yang Haoran smiled and nodded, then said, "Don't worry, Captain Luo. As long as I, Yang Haoran, am still in Lecheng, our cooperation won't stop."

"I'm relieved to hear that from Yang Divine Envoy. I still have some things to attend to, so I won't stay here for too long," Captain Luo said, and then he stood up, looking like he was preparing to leave. Deputy Captain Zhou saw this and also stood up.

"Since you've come, why not stay a bit longer? You've never tried my cooking, and I think today is a good day. Why not let me cook a few dishes for you to try?"

Yang Haoran said this while standing up, enthusiastically inviting the two of them to stay. This attitude was in stark contrast to how he had treated Elder Zhang earlier.

Captain Luo had a bitter smile, and he shook his head to decline Yang Haoran's kindness.

"Maybe some other day. Elder Zhang still doesn't know when he'll come back to find me, and before that, I need to settle all the things that need to be done. Otherwise, it'll be very troublesome later."

Yang Haoran thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "In that case, I won't keep you two. Why not tonight? We can go out and have a gathering tonight." Captain Luo looked even more troubled, and his smile became even more bitter.

The reason for his expression was simple: today, Elder Zhang and Yang Haoran had almost come to blows, and it had been very unpleasant. If he went out to eat, drink, and have fun with Yang Haoran tonight, and Elder Zhang found out, what would he think?

But if he didn't agree, what would Yang Haoran think?

Seeing Captain Luo's bitter smile, Yang Haoran smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll not only participate in tonight's dinner, but you'll also be the host."

"Oh? Is that so?" Captain Luo raised an eyebrow, seemingly remembering something, and the bitter smile on his face became more natural.

"Of course, Deputy Captain Zhou did say he wanted to treat me to a meal last time, and I remember it clearly," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"That did happen," Deputy Captain Zhou said with a smile.

After chatting for a bit, Yang Haoran sent Captain Luo and the serpent demon off from the villa. After they left, Yang Haoran returned to the living room, while the other Night Watch members remained outside the villa.

"Now that there are no outsiders, you two can sit down," Yang Haoran said with a smile to Old Wu and the serpent demon.

The serpent demon didn't stand on ceremony, plopping down on the sofa with a flirtatious smile. She had been holding back earlier, but now that things had been resolved and the others had left, she could finally relax.

Master Wu, on the other hand, was more polite, bowing his head respectfully to Yang Haoran before sitting down across from him.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I'd have been caught by those Fu Sect guys by now. You've saved my life again," the serpent demon said, looking at Yang Haoran with a grateful smile.

Yang Haoran's smile didn't falter, but he didn't respond to the serpent demon. Instead, he handed Master Wu a cigarette and lit one for himself. Finally, under the serpent demon's curious gaze, he pushed the box of spirit fruit, along with the fruit itself, towards her.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, what's this?" the serpent demon asked, her eyes shining with excitement.

"It's for you, take it," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

The serpent demon had already guessed the outcome, but hearing Yang Haoran say it out loud still made her heart skip a beat.

"Does Underworld Envoy big brother want to give me this spirit fruit?" the serpent demon asked, her face flushed with excitement.

It was no wonder the serpent demon was so excited. Her injuries were still not fully healed, and if she ate the spirit fruit, it would greatly help her recovery.

She was different from Yang Haoran, being a demon. Her way of recovering from injuries was different from his. Usually, demons had three ways to recover from injuries.

One was to absorb Heaven and Earth spirit qi, using the spirit qi to repair their injuries. The denser the spirit qi, the faster the recovery.

The second was to eat humans and absorb their spirit, a simple but violent method that could bring great benefits but also great danger.

The third was to find various heavenly materials and earthly treasures that contained Heaven and Earth spirit qi, which demons could absorb to enhance their cultivation and heal their injuries.

Currently, the spirit qi in her location was scarce, and it would take a long time to recover through absorption. Eating humans was not an option with Yang Haoran around, so the best method was to find heavenly materials and earthly treasures that contained spirit qi.

The spirit fruit sent by Captain Luo was just what she needed. Judging from the strength of the spirit qi it released, it contained a significant amount of Heaven and Earth spirit qi. If she ate it, her injuries would definitely improve significantly.

That's why the serpent demon was so excited when Yang Haoran offered her the spirit fruit.

"This spirit fruit is useful to me too, but using it on myself would be a waste. You need it more than I do. But to say it's a gift from me is not as accurate as saying it's from Captain Luo or the Spirit Police," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

The serpent demon didn't delve deeper into Yang Haoran's words, instead smiling flirtatiously and quickly taking the spirit fruit, as if afraid Yang Haoran would change his mind.

Yang Haoran didn't stop her, waiting until she had taken the fruit before continuing to speak with a smile.

"I want to give you some advice. Whether you take it or not is up to you, and I won't interfere with your decision. Do you want to hear it?"

The serpent demon was taken aback, then smiled flirtatiously and asked, "What advice?"
