Realm of the Night God

Chapter 674: Borrowing a Step to Speak

At this time, Bai Xue, although not wearing a police uniform, was indeed the Spirit Police of Lecheng, and this was a fact that could be verified by asking anyone in the know.

However, these two demon hunters seemed to be unaware that Bai Xue was the Spirit Police of Lecheng. When they heard Yang Haoran's words, their faces changed, and they turned their gaze towards Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu was drinking and smoking, ignoring the gaze of the two.

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's indifference, the woman's expression turned ugly, and the Fair Young Man's eyebrows furrowed.

"Ye Zhiqiu, is this woman really your Lecheng's Spirit Police?" the woman asked Ye Zhiqiu, her tone quite impolite, not only towards Ye Zhiqiu but also towards Bai Xue.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the woman, didn't say much, and just nodded slightly before continuing to drink.

After getting Ye Zhiqiu's confirmation, the woman and the Fair Young Man exchanged a glance, noticing that each other's faces didn't look too good.

Their faces looked bad because of Bai Xue's identity as Spirit Police, and also because of Ye Zhiqiu's attitude.

At this time, Bai Xue felt equally uncomfortable in her heart. She didn't have a good impression of demon hunters to begin with, and the woman's extremely impolite words, which were directed at her, made her even more unhappy.

However, she knew that Yang Haoran didn't like to get involved in unnecessary trouble, so she forced herself to endure her inner discomfort and didn't say anything."Yang Divine Envoy, Officer Bai, to be honest, our association sent us two to Lecheng because Lecheng has two relatively powerful great demons. Considering it's too dangerous for Ye Zhiqiu to face two great demons alone, we were sent to provide support. We've only been in Lecheng for a few days and haven't been here before, so we've been focusing all our energy on tracking these two great demons. Therefore, we're not very familiar with Lecheng's affairs, and we may have unintentionally offended you. We hope Officer Bai won't take it to heart."

The Fair Young Man, who had looked unhappy just a moment ago, now had a smile on his face again. He not only explained to Yang Haoran and Bai Xue but also apologized to Bai Xue, although the apology lacked sincerity.

"Hehe, you're too polite, sir. I don't know what's wrong, but as a demon, it's normal for demon hunters to have hostility towards me. I wouldn't take it to heart, and now that the misunderstanding is cleared, there's no need to apologize."

Bai Xue smiled sweetly, looking like she hadn't taken the previous incident to heart.

Her smile made the Fair Young Man stunned again, but he quickly recovered and didn't show any embarrassment.

"Hehe, Officer Bai is right. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, I have some important matters to attend to, so I apologize, but I'll have to trouble you three to excuse yourselves." Yang Haoran said with a smile, his face full of apology.

His words made the Fair Young Man's smile freeze, and the woman's expression turned even uglier.

"We came all the way to help you, and this is how you treat us? Not even offering us a cup of tea?"

The woman, who was already unhappy, vented her frustration directly at Yang Haoran.

Her words sounded reasonable, but Yang Haoran didn't believe them at all. Unless his brain had been kicked by a donkey, and recently at that.

If they really wanted to help, they could have torn through space and arrived directly. Why would they need to seal their power fluctuations and sneak around?

Yang Haoran didn't know what their purpose was, but they definitely had some unspoken secrets.

"This beauty is being too serious, I have urgent matters to attend to, and you're also aware of the current situation. I have too many things to handle right now."

Yang Haoran smiled and opened his mouth, his face still maintaining an apologetic smile, but the woman didn't buy it.

"We three are, no matter what, two-star demon hunters, and we have the Demon Hunter Association backing us up. Yang Divine Envoy didn't even think of inviting us in for a sit-down, I don't know if he looks down on us three or the Demon Hunter Association, or if there's some secret in this barrier-protected villa that he doesn't want us outsiders to see."

The woman's words were quite rude, and even Ye Zhiqiu, who was drinking, couldn't help but furrow his brow. Bai Xue's charming smile on her face also slowly faded away.

However, Yang Haoran didn't show any change in expression, still maintaining his usual demeanor, with a faint smile on his face, as if he wasn't angry at all, but also didn't intend to change his mind about inviting the three into the villa.

"Yang Divine Envoy, may I have a word with you?"

The Fair Young Man's face regained its smile, and he spoke to Yang Haoran, looking like he wanted to have a private talk with him.

Yang Haoran didn't know what the Fair Young Man was selling, but he was curious about what this guy wanted to do.

After a brief hesitation, Yang Haoran nodded slightly.

With Yang Haoran's agreement, the Fair Young Man's smile became more pronounced.

"This way, please, Yang Divine Envoy."

The Fair Young Man made a inviting gesture to Yang Haoran, then walked ahead, leading the way, while Yang Haoran followed with a smile.

The two stopped at a private area, and the Fair Young Man didn't say a word, releasing the seal on his body, then set up a restriction barrier, enclosing both himself and Yang Haoran within.

This restriction barrier was just a ordinary soundproofing barrier, mainly used to prevent others outside from hearing their conversation. When the Fair Young Man released the seal on his body, a powerful star spiritual power burst out from him, but he quickly restrained it, only releasing a slight power fluctuation.

Yang Haoran sensed the star spiritual power emitted by the Fair Young Man, and judging from the intensity of the power fluctuation, this Fair Young Man was indeed a two-star demon hunter, although he was still slightly inferior to Ye Zhiqiu.

Releasing the seal wouldn't completely unleash one's power fluctuation unless intended, and the Fair Young Man's actions seemed to be more of a show of strength, setting the stage for their conversation.

Since he wanted to show off, he wouldn't hide his strength anymore. The power fluctuation the Fair Young Man had just released should be his true ability.

The Fair Young Man's strength was impressive, but not enough to make Yang Haoran wary. However, the Fair Young Man didn't realize this and was very confident in his abilities.

Yang Haoran wasn't intimidated by the Fair Young Man's strength, but was still surprised that he had such abilities at his age, around twenty years old. By the time he reached Ye Zhiqiu's age, his strength would definitely surpass Ye Zhiqiu's.

To have such strength at this age, it was impossible without backing from a powerful organization. From this, it seemed that the Fair Young Man had some powerful backers.

"Yang Divine Envoy, I won't beat around the bush. I came to Lecheng for the great demon, and since the two great demons have already died at your and Officer Bai's hands, I suppose their demonic pills and demon bodies should be in your possession. Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran nodded, giving a affirmative response to the Fair Young Man.

There was no need to hide this, and it couldn't be hidden anyway. It wasn't like they could say they had directly turned the two great demons into ashes, leaving no demonic pills behind.

Since it couldn't be hidden, Yang Haoran simply nodded, giving a affirmative response. In his view, this wasn't a big deal.

"Yang Divine Envoy, as the Underworld Envoy, the demonic pills and demon bodies are of no use to you. I wonder if you could give me the demon bodies and demonic pills of the two great demons. Don't worry, I won't take your things for free. I can exchange them for other things."

The Fair Young Man smiled as he spoke, but under his smiling gaze, Yang Haoran shook his head with a smile.

Seeing Yang Haoran shake his head, the Fair Young Man's smile suddenly froze, his expression not looking too good.
