Realm of the Night God

After the man dropped a harsh remark, he left with the woman.

The woman's thoughts were different from the man's. She didn't want to leave so easily because she was convinced that her son's disappearance was related to demons, so she didn't want to leave easily.

However, she ultimately couldn't resist her man and left with a burning anger in her heart.

After the two left, Yang Haoran and the others didn't linger outside and returned to the study room. Yang Haoran sat down in a chair, let out a heavy sigh, and then picked up an open pack of cigarettes from the table and lit one.

Bai Xue, on the other hand, couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had wanted to laugh earlier, but she had restrained herself because it wasn't the right occasion. If she had laughed, Yang Haoran's plan would have been ruined, and things would have become complicated.

So, even though she really wanted to laugh, she didn't and instead forced herself to suppress the urge.

Now that the two demon hunters had left, and they were back in the study room, she no longer had to hold back her laughter and let her true emotions show.

"Haha... haha, Underworld Envoy big brother, how did you manage to lie without batting an eye? You even used your personal guarantee, and... you almost got me killed from laughing. If I... haha, if I didn't know the whole story, I would have definitely believed everything you said was true, haha."

Bai Xue laughed so hard she was out of breath. Yang Haoran saw her and shook his head with a bitter smile.

Bai Xue nodded while still laughing.

"Hehe, that makes sense, Underworld Envoy big brother. What you said is very reasonable."

Yang Haoran smiled and took a puff of his cigarette before speaking with a calm tone.

"Hehe, that was a close call. It's good we didn't fight. If we had, we would have fallen into their trap today."

Although the two sides hadn't fought, the atmosphere was tense, and one wrong word could have become an excuse for the demon hunters to attack. Yang Haoran understood this, so even though he looked relaxed, the pressure in his heart was still considerable.

"They've only temporarily retreated and will likely come back. For us, this is indeed a passive situation." Brought to you by the folks at MV|LEMPYR.

Master Wu didn't laugh like Bai Xue, nor was he as optimistic. He had a serious expression and thought for a moment before speaking.

Yang Haoran nodded in agreement with Master Wu's words.

"They still can't determine whether their son is alive or dead, and they want to investigate this matter. It's not that simple. The harsh words they left with were just an excuse to save face, in my opinion."

Bai Xue continued, although she wasn't laughing as hard as before, her face still had a smile.

"I think we shouldn't be too careless. Even though the couple hasn't investigated this matter clearly yet, it doesn't mean they won't be able to in the future."

Yang Haoran looked at Master Wu and asked, "Old Wu, now that you've seen these two, what's your take on their attitude towards this matter and their level of understanding? Do you have any good strategies?"

Yang Haoran didn't ask Bai Xue this question because he was worried she would just laugh and say something unrelated. Master Wu was an old hand and had a lot of experience in these matters.

Before the two demon hunters appeared, Master Wu hadn't given any good advice because the situation was unclear, and he didn't know much about the demon hunters. But now, Master Wu had a more detailed and direct understanding of the situation and the demon hunters, so Yang Haoran thought he should be able to give some useful advice.

"Based on my observation, I think they'll come back sooner or later. The man's parting words, in my opinion, weren't just an excuse to save face. He'll likely do what he said. Since the couple is concerned about their son's life or death, as long as their son is still alive, this problem will naturally be resolved."

Master Wu spoke, and Bai Xue immediately responded with a charming smile.

"Heh heh, Old Wu, their son has already died, you know that, so what you're saying doesn't make sense at all."

Yang Haoran, on the other hand, didn't respond as impulsively as Bai Xue. He seemed to be deep in thought, as if he had a rough idea of what Master Wu meant.

"Of course, I know their son has already died, but the couple doesn't dare to confirm it, at least not for now. They're still unsure if their son is really dead. If we can make them think their son is still alive, do you think they'll believe it?"

A hint of a smile appeared on Master Wu's face, and he asked Bai Xue.

Bai Xue was taken aback for a moment, thought for a bit, and then nodded.

"Judging from the couple's anxious behavior, they might really believe it, because no one wants to accept tragedy, and they'll convince themselves to believe even if there's just a glimmer of hope."

Yang Haoran took a puff of his cigarette and laughed.

"Old Wu's idea is indeed good, but those two demon hunters aren't fools. Ordinary methods won't be enough to deceive them."

Master Wu nodded, and Yang Haoran's words resonated with him.

"Ordinary methods won't be able to fool the couple, but what if we use extraordinary methods?"

Master Wu's question sparked Yang Haoran's interest, and he seemed to have a plan in mind.

Bai Xue also sensed the implication behind Master Wu's words and looked at him with interest.

"Tell us."

Yang Haoran laughed and opened his mouth, and Master Wu didn't hold back, since there were no outsiders present.

"First, I need a flesh vessel, one tailored to the original boy's measurements. Once we have that, it'll be hard for the couple not to believe it."

When Master Wu mentioned the flesh vessel, Yang Haoran's eyebrows twitched.

"If we just spread the news that their son is still alive, the two demon hunters will inevitably have doubts. Although they'll investigate the truth, the effect won't be as significant as we hope. But if someone witnesses their son's reappearance, they won't be able to disbelieve it."

Yang Haoran nodded in agreement, acknowledging that spreading news wasn't as effective as a real person appearing.

The original demon hunter had already died, and even his soul had been dealt with by Yang Haoran. He had scattered his soul, making it impossible for him to reappear.

However, if they created a flesh vessel and found a soul to wear it, sealing their power fluctuations and Yin Qi with a Sealing Technique, no one would be able to tell it was a fake, as long as they didn't encounter any powerful experts.

"With the couple's abilities and social status, they must have used many methods to search for their son, and many people know about this. If we deliberately choose a suitable location to appear, making sure someone with ulterior motives discovers it, the news of their son's survival will quickly reach the couple's ears. By then, they won't have the heart to care about us and will definitely shift their focus."

Master Wu had said his piece, and Bai Xue naturally understood his intentions.

"Old Wu's method is good, but where should we appear to make it more convincing? We don't know anyone in Lecheng who recognizes their son, even if he walks down the street, no one will know who he is."

Bai Xue spoke, and Master Wu's face smiled again upon hearing his words.

"As for where to appear, I already have a good choice in mind."
