Ye Yu, who was in the demon realm, sneezed heavily achoo
Who’s thinking of me?
I’ve sneezed so many times today!
He rubbed his nose and continued flipping through the ancient tome in his hand
As a ghostly being, he had come to the demon realm for two reasons
First, although his method of harvesting negative emotion points yielded quick results, it carried hidden risks
If someone held a grudge and targeted his family, that would be disastrous
Besides, why would ghosts torment other ghosts? It made more sense to go plague someone else
Second, Ye Yu wanted to learn more about the gods
He had already encountered the God of Inner Demons in the Demon Realm more than once—truly powerful
If the God of Inner Demons existed in the Divine Realm, what about the Sea God he had seen before? Was his true form also in the Divine Realm?
And what was this Demon Realm, then?
The Sea God he saw at the Divine Sea Assembly was definitely not a projection but a ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) real entity
Though his whereabouts in reality were unknown, Ye Yu hoped to get lucky here
If given the chance to meet again, he would uncover his true nature
With these two factors in mind, Ye Yu had come to the demon realm and was studying ancient texts in a nearby demon city
After a moment, Ye Yu’s eyes suddenly sharpened and he turned to look to his left
He saw a man over twenty feet tall, unbelievably muscular, standing there silently
“Allow me to introduce myself, I am Shi Chengyi, city lord of Cloud Demon City, disciple of Yi”
“What I’m curious about is, how did you, a mere underworld ghost, break the formation barrier of the city lord’s mansion, bypass so many guards, and come here?” he asked
Hearing this, Ye Yu calmly returned the ancient tome in his hand to the shelf and pulled out another
While reading he said “Most demon formations are rather crude. The outer defenses around a city lord’s mansion are especially flimsy—cracking them is as easy as flipping one’s hand”
“As for those demon guards outside, aren’t they just for show?”
Shi Chengyi cracked a smile as he watched Ye Yu browse the books without a hint of resistance
He even offered “What type of book are you looking for? Shall I help you find one?”
“There’s no need,” Ye Yu replied, “I’ve pretty much read all the ancient texts here. It’s time I left”
He snapped the tome shut, shoved it back onto the shelf, then took two steps forward and stared at the Demon King–level powerhouse before him
This demon was unusual—he exuded a chaotic aura as if his entire form were enveloped in black mist, concealing the depth of his strength
Ye Yu asked curiously “Are you planning to detain me?”
Shi Chengyi folded his hands behind his back and, after a moment’s thought, shook his head
“You’re an interesting ghostly being. I have no intention of fighting you—for now. But next time you come, don’t be so silent. Just send someone to announce you”
Ye Yu’s expression turned strange
“Huh, nowadays there are demons with such magnanimity?”
“Quite rare!”
“You’re too good-natured for your own rough appearance!”
Ye Yu shook his head slightly and walked out, his form turning into a streak of black light as he vanished in an instant
Unbeknownst to him, after he left, Shi Chengyi finally relaxed and exhaled a puff of gray mist
Yes, gray
To be fair, Shi Chengyi was by no means an easy demon to get along with, and there was a reason he had shown such forbearance toward Ye Yu
