Realm of the Night God

Under Master Wu's arrangement, the other Night Watch members returned to their respective posts, while Yang Haoran brought the sloppy man into the villa.

The area outside the villa had already become a wasteland, but Yang Haoran didn't question it because he knew Master Wu would arrange for someone to handle it, so he didn't need to worry about it.

What he was concerned about now was what the sloppy man was really after.

The two of them had grievances, to put it bluntly, in Yang Haoran's impression, the sloppy man was his enemy, and his usual attitude towards enemies was to try to get rid of them to prevent future troubles.

However, his attitude towards the sloppy man today was different from his usual approach. Although there was an element of teasing the sloppy man, he did not intend to kill him, mainly because the sloppy man had generously offered a Great Demon-level demonic pill as a token of good faith for cooperation. Additionally, Yang Haoran was interested in the sloppy man's so-called deal.

As for why he didn't directly agree to the sloppy man's request but instead chose to tease him, it was because he wanted to use this method to see where the sloppy man's bottom line was.

At the same time, he also wanted to reconfirm whether his judgment was correct – whether the sloppy man truly needed his help or had ulterior motives.

Regular communication would have difficulty distinguishing between the two, but by pressuring the other party a few times and giving them some stimuli, it would be easier to see some clues.

Through this method, Yang Haoran once again confirmed that the sloppy man did indeed need his help, and this matter seemed to be no small thing. Otherwise, the sloppy man would not have been so tolerant, nor would he have openly offered a Great Demon demonic pill, which is equally precious to demon hunters.

Of course, it's also possible that everything the sloppy man was doing now was just an act, and needing his help was not the real goal. However, Yang Haoran hadn't noticed any problems in this regard yet. If that were the case, he could only admire the sloppy man's acting skills.

On the way into the villa, Yang Haoran wore a smile on his face, not saying a word, but deep in thought.

Bai Xue followed closely behind Yang Haoran, and since she was wearing a mask, it was impossible to tell what her expression was or what she was thinking at the time.

The sloppy man, on the other hand, followed behind Yang Haoran, gripping his long sword tightly, his brows furrowed and his expression vigilant, maintaining a safe distance from Yang Haoran.

As for Master Wu and Xiu Juan, they followed behind the sloppy man, preventing him from trying any tricks from behind.

After entering the villa, Yang Haoran led the sloppy man to the living room. His face still bore the same smile, and he gestured politely for the sloppy man to sit, then courteously said, "Please, have a seat."

From Yang Haoran's expression, it seemed as if he had completely forgotten his previous attitude towards the sloppy man. Now, he was polite and friendly, as if welcoming a good friend into his own home.

The sloppy man's expression did not improve despite Yang Haoran's false pretense. He remained stone-faced and unapologetic, plopping down on the sofa.

"Xiu Juan, excuse me, would you mind brewing us some tea?" Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Yes, Divine Envoy."

Xiu Juan respectfully bowed to Yang Haoran and turned to leave, but at that moment, the sloppy man spoke up indifferently.

"No need, I don't drink tea."

After saying that, the sloppy man took out a bottle of beer from his independent space, opened it himself, and drank it nonchalantly.

"Just because you don't drink tea doesn't mean we don't drink tea, right?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

The sloppy man didn't answer Yang Haoran's question and continued drinking his beer. Yang Haoran gave Xiu Juan a look, and she understood, quickly leaving.

Yang Haoran didn't mind the sloppy man's words and actions. He smiled and motioned for Master Wu and Bai Xue to sit down, then turned his gaze back to the sloppy man.

"Drinking so much beer, don't you need to use the restroom?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

The sloppy man really didn't expect Yang Haoran to ask such an irrelevant question in this situation.

"You don't need to beat around the bush. Let's get to the point," the sloppy man said after taking a sip of beer.

"No problem, you speak, I'll listen," Yang Haoran responded with a smile.

"I came to find you this time in hopes that you would help me rescue someone. I know there are grievances between us, but I'm willing to pay you a high price to take action. The demonic pill from before was just a down payment. Once the task is completed, I'll give you another Great Demon-level demonic pill," the sloppy man said.

Yang Haoran chuckled, he did not immediately answer, after savoring sloppy man's words, he smiled and said: "Didn't you say that after this, I could get a lot of demonic pills? How come now it's only one?"

Whether to save someone or not, Yang Haoran wasn't too concerned about it at the moment, because compared to that, he was more interested in the reward for lending a hand.

So, he didn't ask sloppy man who he needed to save or where to go to save someone, but instead pointed out that the reward sloppy man was offering now was different from what he had said earlier.

"The two freat demon-level demonic pills are just my unilateral reward, as for other gains, I haven't included them," sloppy man explained.

"Other gains? Heh, could you clarify that a bit more? The more vague you are, the more time I'll need to spend guessing and analyzing. I don't mind, I have plenty of time, but I don't know if you have enough time," Yang Haoran said unhurriedly, his smile unwavering.

As Yang Haoran finished speaking, Xiu Juan also brought over some tea. Yang Haoran declined Xiu Juan's service, and after asking Xiu Juan to sit down, he poured several cups of tea, first giving one cup each to Bai Xue and the others, and then placing a cup in front of sloppy man.

Although sloppy man had just said he didn't drink tea, Yang Haoran did not ignore him.

Sloppy man took a sip of beer, then glanced at the tea Yang Haoran had poured for him and said lightly: "I just said, I don't drink tea."

"Whether you drink it or not is up to you. Whether I pour it or not is up to me. I don't want you to feel that I've been discourteous to you, that would make me seem very impolite."

Yang Haoran smiled as he explained, and at the same time, he poured a cup of tea for himself, took a sip, and then waited silently for sloppy man to continue.

Sloppy man really wanted to ask Yang Haoran if he was tired of being so hypocritical, but considering that he still needed Yang Haoran's help, he didn't say it.

"This time, I'll go with you, and there will inevitably be clashes with opponents. The other gains I mentioned are the spoils of war from those opponents. All the spoils, including the targets I kill, will belong to you."

Upon hearing sloppy man's explanation, Yang Haoran did not immediately respond, still smiling, and no one could tell from his unchanging facial expression what he was thinking.

Yang Haoran remained silent, and sloppy man did not urge him, but from the way he kept drinking beer, it seemed that he was not feeling calm at the moment.

After a moment of silence, Yang Haoran finally spoke again.

"Previously, you said that this deal would allow me to obtain a considerable number of demonic pills, but so far you've only given me one demonic pill. Even if you give me another one later, that's only two demonic pills. As for the other gains, those would have to be obtained by killing opponents. Can you guarantee that I will definitely be able to obtain a considerable number of demonic pills from those opponents?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Sloppy man frowned, hesitated for a moment, but then nodded affirmatively at Yang Haoran.

"Heh, your hesitation shows me your uncertainty, you're lying to me, aren't you?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Sloppy man's expression changed slightly, and he quickly explained: "I'm not lying to you, from them, we should at least be able to obtain a few demonic pills."

"A few demonic pills?" Yang Haoran murmured to himself with a smile, then continued: "Although there's no set number, there should be at least three demonic pills. Adding the two you have, that's five demonic pills. Five demonic pills is certainly a big deal, but this deal could very well be a deadly one. If you want to seek death, why must you drag me into it?"
