Chapter 952: Chapter 952 - 436: Landlord Arc – Blood Rain

A secluded courtyard, in front of a stone table.

Fang Yu and the Green Demon sat and drank together.

"Brother Qing, when I came back, I heard you were stripped of your skin by the Shu Bird Demon. Though I knew you wouldn’t be in danger, I couldn’t help but worry. Seeing you’re okay now, I feel relieved."

The Green Demon couldn’t help but let out a hearty laugh at these words.

This kind of laughter, he didn’t even know how long it had been since he displayed it to anyone.

"Rest assured, my power now is not what it used to be. Though I’m not as strong as the Shu Bird Demon, I’m not easy to kill either. As for the mere human skin, it’s gone, its mission is done, the rest is up to the Shu Bird Demon. But you, being forced out of the city by the Foolish Underworld, it’s as if they don’t care for your life at all. Could they have vaguely detected your identity?"

Fang Yu shook his head: "It shouldn’t be, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to return safely."

The Green Demon sighed.

"Even so, the closer you get to the higher-ups of Foolish Underworld, the more dangerous your situation becomes. I’d like to have you back to my side, but right now, I find myself somewhat helpless."

Fang Yu looked surprised for a moment: "Brother Qing, are you in trouble? Let me help you!"

In the vast demon sea, how many demons would be so honest and open?

Looking into Fang Yu’s sincere eyes, the Green Demon smiled, stood up, and finished his drink.

"No need! It’s just a small issue, after enduring this month, I’ll be back under the Shu Bird Demon. Then, I’ll challenge the Shu Bird Demon again, striving to claim a position among the Demon Leaders! At that time..."

The Green Demon’s gaze locked on Fang Yu, as he moved his lips, Fang Yu was already up and spoke first.

"At that time, I’ll help you!"

The Green Demon laughed.

"Good! It’s settled! If I become a Demon Leader, you won’t need to undercover in Foolish Underworld anymore, you can come help me instead!"

"Brother Qing, it isn’t certain who’ll become a Demon Leader first! With my current status, perhaps I’ll climb to the Demon Leader position before you based on merits!"

Fang Yu spoke defiantly, which caused the Green Demon to laugh heartily.

"You! You’re still just a Demon Foot, stay put, don’t take reckless actions. Let me handle things. If you mess up, I don’t know what I’d do."

"...Likewise! Brother Qing, if you can’t beat the Shu Bird Demon, let it be, no rush! We’re doing just fine now, aren’t we?"

The Green Demon shook his head slightly, turning to look into the distance.

That was in the direction of the Li Family.

"Blood Demon, you don’t understand... they’re accelerating, and if we don’t catch up, there won’t be a place for us on this ship."

Fang Yu didn’t understand, but the Green Demon didn’t elaborate any further, just turned back, saw the naively adorable Fang Yu, smiled, and patted his shoulder.

"In the coming days, stay well in Foolish Underworld, don’t go anywhere, even if there’s a task from above, don’t leave, understand?"

Fang Yu felt a surge in his heart, instinctively moving closer to the Green Demon.

"Brother Qing, is something big happening?"

The Green Demon looked at him.

"If you hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t say. But since you asked, I can’t hide it from you. Yes, something big is happening!"

"This play between Shu Bird Demon and me is to draw out the Li Family’s ancestor from the shadows. Drawing out the Li Family Ancestor is not for greeting him—how the Lin Family Ancestor died, that’s how this one will die."

"When the time comes, the commotion will be huge. Foolish Underworld will surely act, and we demons will also arrange accordingly. But regardless of orders from any side, don’t leave, I’ll cover for you."

What?!

The demon forces are striking at the Li Family Ancestor??

"When?!" Fang Yu couldn’t help but ask.

As soon as he spoke, Fang Yu realized the mishap. He asked too hastily.

Fortunately, the opposite was Brother Qing, who didn’t have any suspicion.

"It should be within a day or two, I don’t know the exact time, we have to wait for news from the Demon Leaders. But this time, they invited an outsider demon to help, which might bring variables, so, don’t get involved. In this level of battle, a slight ripple, and you won’t withstand it, you could die instantly!"

The Green Demon had a serious expression, clearly not joking, but evidently, he still saw Fang Yu as the weak Blood Demon he once was.

Time is advancing.

Everyone is growing.

The growth rate of Fang Yu has long surpassed the Green Demon’s understanding.

Yet at the moment, this isn’t the important matter.

"What about you? Brother Qing, will you engage in the assault on the Li Family Ancestor?"

This question was very important.

Because if the Green Demon was on-site, it would be difficult for him to relay this information to the human upper echelons.

Since once the battle begins, the likelihood of the Green Demon’s death was quite high.

Fang Yu could see the Green Demon’s blood level, just over fifty thousand, perhaps able to hold his ground in mid-level battles, but against at Eight Thousand Blood level, it really falls short.

Going out, witnessing the prowess of these high-tier forces firsthand, battling them, Fang Yu understood that the current Green Demon was not qualified to survive among those monsters.

Seeing Fang Yu’s tense demeanor, the Green Demon’s gaze softened with affection, reaching out to tousle Fang Yu’s hair.

"Since I aspire to be a Demon Leader, this battle cannot be missed. Rest assured, I won’t be in danger. With my current strength, I’m not yet qualified to access the core battlefield, at most, I’ll be responsible for guarding the perimeter."

That’s still quite risky, once the commotion starts, human experts will continuously approach the battlefield, and all that pressure will shift onto the Green Demon!
