#1044 - Chapter 1044 This is called not knowing what is good for you
“Since you are unwilling to reveal your identity, we will find ways to help you conceal it, doing our best to prevent too many people from knowing who you are!”
The Shadow Demon said.
“That’s wonderful!”
Xiao Fan was even happier to hear this, but he also knew that it would bring him some trouble.
So he said:
“However…”
Xiao Fan deliberately acted evasive and embarrassed to speak, prompting the Shadow Demon to say:
“Emperor Lodean, please don’t hesitate to speak your mind so we can assist you!”
“There’s a saying that it’s easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings. It's certainly good not to expose my identity. But what if any Tom, Dick, or Harry comes to provoke me? What should I do then?”
As Xiao Fan spoke, he stroked his chin, looking very helpless.
“Although I hate to admit it, there’s one thing I must say: although most of those cultivators are hypocrites, at least hypocrites can abide by some rules. But our people…”
Hearing Xiao Fan's concern.
The Shadow Demon's small face instantly wrinkled into a ball.
Although she didn't want to admit it.
She had to admit.
Xiao Fan’s concern was indeed valid.
Demon cultivators cultivate by not abiding by rules.
They act entirely according to their mood.
They start fighting at the slightest disagreement.
They kill people like cutting grass!!
It was precisely their non-compliance with the rules that led to human cultivators being divided into two camps: demon cultivators and immortal cultivators.
“This… is indeed a problem, and a very serious one.”
The Shadow Demon became conflicted.
She even wanted to say, 'Emperor Lodean, how about I send people to protect you!'
But she worried that doing so would make Xiao Fan suspect they still wanted to monitor him.
“Senior Shadow Demon, I have a suggestion, I wonder if you would be willing to listen?”
Seeing the Shadow Demon not speaking for a long time, Xiao Fan knew she was very conflicted, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
“Please, speak.”
The Shadow Demon nodded immediately, looking at Xiao Fan expectantly.
“Does the Fiend Demon Realm have so-called family forces?”
Xiao Fan asked.
“Of course, there are…”
The Shadow Demon nodded subconsciously, suddenly realizing what Xiao Fan meant.
She immediately smiled and said:
“Emperor Lodean, you truly are a genius, I understand what you mean!! Then let me tell you, which famous family forces there are in our Fiend Demon Realm. I'll speak to them and guarantee you can have a spot in one of their families!!”
Xiao Fan smacked his lips and smiled:
“Senior Shadow Demon, actually! I think you are quite suitable. I wonder if you have a family?”
“I…”
The Shadow Demon never expected that Xiao Fan would entrust such a great blessing to her.
This was Emperor Lodean after all!!
The only immortal-tier alchemist in the Immortal's Destiny Domain.
And one of their own.
Any family that had Xiao Fan join, even if only nominally, could surpass other families in a short period.
For a moment.
The Shadow Demon was so excited she couldn't control herself, but she forced herself to calm down and said:
“Emperor Lodean, thank you very much for your trust, but I don’t recommend you choose my family?”
“Why?”
Xiao Fan was stunned to hear this.
“Our Shadow Demon clan has always been known for concealing identities. To put it bluntly, many people in the Fiend Demon Realm know about our Shadow Demon clan, but very few have actually seen our true faces!”
The Shadow Demon sighed helplessly and continued:
“So, our Shadow Demon clan doesn’t actually have a fixed address. Even if people know you are from our Shadow Demon clan, they would probably be suspicious!!”
“Suspicion doesn't matter! What I want is a title. Senior Shadow Demon can consider these things, I’m even more willing to believe that living in the Fiend Demon Realm with the identity of the Shadow Demon clan is definitely better than living with the identity of a disciple of another family!!”
As he spoke, Xiao Fan deliberately smiled shyly and said:
“Actually, I also prefer a more exciting life. If it’s just alchemy all day, I’ll find it very boring!!”
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the Shadow Demon immediately laughed, not doubting Xiao Fan's words at all.
She nodded quickly, somewhat excitedly, and said:
“Since Emperor Lodean, you are really willing to live with the identity of our Shadow Demon clan, then I won’t be pretentious! From today onwards, you are a member of our Shadow Demon clan.”
The Shadow Demon thought for a moment and said:
“Also, my real name is Ruan Yu. Emperor Lodean, you are my…”
“I’m your younger brother! Hello, Sister Yu!!”
Xiao Fan said without hesitation.
“Good, great! I’ve always wanted a younger brother. Since Emperor Lodean is willing to be my younger brother, then I’ll take advantage of Emperor Lodean today!!”
The Shadow Demon laughed incredibly happily, her laughter still carrying a hint of soul-stirring charm.
Although the Shadow Demon, also known as Ruan Yu, had told Xiao Fan her real name.
She still didn't reveal her true face in front of Xiao Fan.
Obviously, she was still somewhat apprehensive.
Xiao Fan didn't expect that just with these few words and the existence of the Fiend Demon Qi, he could make Ruan Yu really believe him.
“Sister Yu, have we been teleporting for so long? Why haven’t we left the teleportation yet?”
Xiao Fan deliberately changed the subject, asking in confusion.
“Actually, we have used six teleports in a row!!”
Ruan Yu explained.
“Six teleports?”
Xiao Fan was stunned. He really hadn't noticed this.
“Yes~”
Ruan Yu nodded, explaining:
“The first teleport took us away from Alchemy City, then we experienced two teleports to enter the Central Battlefield. Then, in the battlefield, we experienced three teleports. We still need to experience three more teleports to leave the battlefield and enter our Fiend Demon Realm’s territory!”
“Hiss~”
Xiao Fan’s face was full of surprise, “This Central Battlefield is so vast that it requires a full six teleports to leave?”
“The Central Battlefield is very large, there is no doubt about that. But six teleports is also a last resort. If those hypocrites discover these teleportation arrays, the impact on us would be very significant.”
The Shadow Demon explained.
“Okay! That’s indeed the case!”
Xiao Fan thought for a moment, understood the Shadow Demon's meaning, and nodded in agreement. Then, he said with some indignation:
“I lived in the Immortal Cultivator camp for a while, so I have some understanding of them. I can only say that they don’t know what’s good for them.”
“The Immortal's Destiny Domain doesn’t have many directly connected mortal cultivation worlds belonging to their camp, why bother with the Immortal's Destiny Domain?”
“This Immortal's Destiny Domain should be our Fiend Demon Realm’s territory!!”
“It’s because they don’t know what’s good for them!!”
Ruan Yu smiled meaningfully upon hearing Xiao Fan's words.
