Realm of the Night God

With the absence of his parents, this evening was still quite lively, but Yang Haoran felt a little regretful, as if something was missing, leaving a sense of emptiness in his heart.

However, he did not express his emotions, as he did not want to affect the others with his own mood.

Early the next morning, people from Yang Haoran's Night Watch started arriving at the villa, some came alone, while others came in groups of three to five.

Towards his own Night Watch, Yang Haoran's attitude was friendly, and he was extremely polite to them. He not only did not avoid them, but personally welcomed them without any airs.

These Night Watch members brought prepared gifts with them. Although the value of these gifts was not high in Yang Haoran's eyes, he did not show any disdain. Regardless of their value, they were the thoughts of others, so he accepted all the gifts and gave them gifts in return.

The gifts he gave were a Soul Qi infusion. Although the pure yin qi he provided was not too much, it was equivalent to a month's fixed salary for an ordinary temple priest.

This gift was of great value to the Night Watch members who came to pay their New Year's respects. They had not even imagined that Yang Haoran would give such a generous gift in return, as they were already grateful just to be personally received by him.

The unexpected gain made these New Year's visitors both surprised and delighted, and their respect for Yang Haoran grew even stronger.

Due to the heavy workload at the Death God Temple during the New Year period, these Night Watch members did not stay long at Yang Haoran's villa after the brief visit, and immediately left to return to their own posts.

Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou from the Spirit Police, Wang Yiming and his policewoman girlfriend, as well as Guanhai and his wife.

Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou came to visit, representing not only themselves but also the Spirit Police organization.

Wang Yiming and his policewoman girlfriend came as individuals.

Wang Yiming had previously supported the Spirit Police because the Fu Sect wanted to obtain a large plot of land to build a large Fu ancestor temple. Due to the enmity between Yang Haoran and the Fu Sect, Captain Luo had promised the Fu Sect a plot of land, and since then, Wang Yiming had been transferred back to the Fu Sect and no longer supported the Spirit Police.

This time, Wang Yiming's visit had nothing to do with the Fu Sect. He had previously had an unpleasant incident with the Fu Sect because of Bai Xue, and although a long time had passed, the enmity between the two parties had not disappeared, so the Fu Sect would not have sent anyone to pay their respects to him.

Yang Haoran was still very welcoming towards Wang Yiming's arrival, as they had a good relationship before, and Wang Yiming had also helped him. Yang Haoran would not forget this favor, and even if they had completely fallen out with the Fu Sect, he would not have any issues with Wang Yiming because of that.

As for the Guanhai couple, it was their first time coming to Yang Haoran's villa. Seeing the large villa, the couple both showed expressions of surprise. Like Wang Yiming, they came representing themselves.

On the first day of the new year, Yang Haoran was busy receiving guests all day long. On the second day, Yang Haoran took stock of the spoils from the Cloud Mist Manor.

The biggest harvest from the Cloud Mist Manor was demonic weapons. In addition to the life-bound demonic weapons of the Five Brothers, there were still more than thirty unabsorbed demonic weapons left by the Big Brother. For a smoother reading experience, visit MV&LEMPYR.

Although most of these thirty-plus demonic weapons were only one-mark, it was still a considerable harvest.

Among the Five Brothers, only the Second Brother's independent space was blown open when he died. At the time, due to the urgency of the situation, Yang Haoran had no time to sort through the items, so he simply collected all the items into his own independent space.

When he sorted through these items later, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this Second Boss was much wealthier than he had imagined.

Most of the items had value, with very few worthless things. Although most of these things were not useful to him, they were treasures in the eyes of demon hunters.

Yang Haoran intended to open a shop in the underworld, so the more collections he had, the better. Even if he couldn't use them himself, he could still sell them to those in need at a good price.

After sorting through all the spoils, Yang Haoran left the room and found Bai Xue.

Bai Xue was not healing, but was keeping Xiaokang company in the living room. Yang Haoran called Bai Xue aside and handed her two great demon-level demonic pills.

These two demonic pills were naturally obtained from the Second Boss's independent space, and should have been the ones the Second Boss had not yet processed.

In the Second Boss's collection, there were only these two demonic pills, and Yang Haoran did not keep a single one, giving them all to Bai Xue.

The reason he decided to do this was that Bai Xue had contributed so much during the mission, and even almost lost her life to buy him time. Since she had done so much for him, Yang Haoran naturally would not be stingy.

Moreover, in the Second Boss's collection, only these two demonic pills were of great use to Bai Xue, while the other things would be useless to her. So Yang Haoran decided to give both demonic pills to Bai Xue.

These two great demon-level demonic pills were highly tempting to Bai Xue, but she felt a little embarrassed to take both of them, as Yang Haoran had already given her one great demon demonic pill before the mission.

However, with Yang Haoran's insistence, Bai Xue finally accepted the two demonic pills with a coy smile. She was reluctant to take them not because she didn't want them, but because she felt embarrassed. Yang Haoran's persistence touched her and made her put aside her politeness.

After handing the demonic pills to Bai Xue, Yang Haoran then went to find Ye Zhiqiu.

When he gently knocked on Ye Zhiqiu's door, the door opened by itself, and Ye Zhiqiu's low voice came from inside.

"What do you want?"

In the room, Ye Zhiqiu was gently wiping his life-bound demonic weapon longsword, his movements soft and his gaze melancholic.

Yang Haoran's arrival only prompted Ye Zhiqiu to ask a single question, and he didn't even look at Yang Haoran, his eyes fixed on the longsword in his hands.

Yang Haoran wore a smile on his face as he walked into Ye Zhiqiu's room.

The room was a bit messy, with cigarette butts and beer cans scattered around. After only two nights' stay, the room had already become quite a mess under Ye Zhiqiu's neglect.

This sight made Yang Haoran shake his head with a wry smile, his expression a bit helpless. He gently fanned away the foul smell and then spoke with a smile.

"In a few days, when her soul body wakes up, I wonder what she'll think when she sees this room in such a state."

Yang Haoran's words made Ye Zhiqiu's hand pause for a moment. He looked at the scattered cigarette butts and beer cans, then at the longsword in his hand, his brow slightly furrowed.

After a moment of silence, Ye Zhiqiu continued gently wiping the longsword and asked in a flat tone, "If you have any arrangements, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."

Yang Haoran chuckled and then said, "Does me coming to see you mean I must have something for you to do?"

As he spoke, Yang Haoran waved his hand, and a large number of demonic weapons suddenly appeared in the room, floating in the air under the influence of yin spirit power. The weapons were of various shapes and sizes, including swords, spears, clubs, axes, and hooks.

The appearance of so many demonic weapons made the already cramped room even more crowded.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the demonic weapons, but his hand wiping the longsword did not stop, and he asked in a flat tone, "What's the meaning of this?"

"All the demonic weapons we harvested from this mission are here. I brought them to your room because I want to give these demonic weapons to you. If your life-bound demonic weapon can devour these demonic weapons, it might be able to advance to the four-mark level."

Among all the demonic weapons, the most eye-catching were the pair of bronze hammers belonging to the Big Brother, which were already very close to the four-mark level. It was precisely because of the existence of these bronze hammers that Yang Haoran believed that as long as Ye Zhiqiu's life-bound demonic weapon devoured all the demonic weapons in the room, it might be able to advance to the four-mark level.

Of course, this was just Yang Haoran's speculation, and he was not certain whether it would actually happen.

Yang Haoran's words immediately caused Ye Zhiqiu, who was still wiping the longsword, to pause.
