"You’re late."
"The tea has been consud, and the Spirit Powder has entered her brain."
"Make it or die, she won’t live long."
What...?
Make it?
Or...die??
Everything around him, as if through a wide-angle cara lens, stretched and distorted.
Fang Yu felt a buzzing in his head as he looked down with widened eyes, his fists clenching unconsciously.
The surge of murderous intent that erged was barely perceptible before it was imdiately caught by the matchmaker.
"Humph! Are you angry? I haven’t even co to you for spoiling my plans yet!"
The matchmaker’s voice, when it reached his ears, sounded twisted and deford.
The last bit of rationality allowed him to speak in a hoarse voice, somberly, "You’re going to kill her!"
"Don’t worry, it’s only a cup’s worth; she can hold on for at least a month."
"By then, the second phase of the plan should start."
"You might as well tear off that human skin and co work for ."
"I have a direct line to Lord Lan; it’s much easier than working under the Green Demon."
By now, Fang Yu had gradually cald down, stabilizing his breath.
"Is there any chance for recovery? This human skin is still useful to , Diao Ruru is a key witness to prove my identity."
Recovery?
The matchmaker didn’t quite understand. Was there a need to go to such lengths for a relative of human skin?
However, their job was different; being able to infiltrate up to the front line of intelligence always involved so special skills or quirks.
She didn’t mind too much either.
"If she can endure the fusion of the Spirit Powder, she won’t have to do anything; she’ll naturally survive."
"Otherwise, everything you saw at the Ronghua Dyeing Factory is her future."
"Madness, frenzy, and then death."
There was a pause; it seed that due to her own oversight, a covert demon had been exposed, which was indeed improper.
The matchmaker turned around and took out a bottle of pills from the cabinet behind her.
"Brain Suppressing Pill, give her one when symptoms appear; with so luck, she might last two months? By then the Foolish Underworld shouldn’t be feared, and your undercover task will no longer need to continue."
Fang Yu knew that at this mont, he must not have an episode, nor allow any flaws to show.
Taking the bottle of pills, he murmured softly, "Two months...should be enough."
And then, with an imdiate bow, "Thank you for your understanding, matchmaker!"
The matchmaker patted his shoulder.
"Hiding in the Foolish Underworld is dangerous work; it’s not as safe as us demons on the outer rim."
"I know it’s tough for you guys; if your human skin is ever torn and you have nowhere else to go, you can co to ."
This was an olive branch being extended.
Fang Yu bowed in gratitude again, then said.
"Then, I’ll take my leave?"
"Mm."
No sooner had the words left his mouth, the matchmaker suddenly added.
"Wait!"
Before Fang Yu could ask what for, the matchmaker quickly approached and slapped his chest.
A storm of shock rose in Fang Yu’s heart.
The blow ca so suddenly; he was utterly unprepared, not even managing to use the Bone Powder...
Bang!
-100!
Fang Yu stumbled back two steps, with a handprint indented on his chest.
His organs, already damaged, turned to dust under this slap!
But...the damage isn’t high?
I didn’t even use Bone Armor to defend...
No!
That’s not it!
She controlled the force!
Fang Yu instantly understood; a Blood Demon with five thousand health couldn’t possibly be this weak.
He looked down, bit his tongue, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Looking up, he was bewildered.
"Matchmaker?!"
"This is not a lesson for you, this is for the Green Demon."
The matchmaker said indifferently, "You tell the Green Demon about my slap; if he disagrees, he can co to see ."
This ti, without waiting for Fang Yu to speak, the matchmaker waved her hand.
"Soone co, escort the official out of Luo Shen Cloth Workshop."
From outside, a female attendant with a thousand health ca in.
[Kong Dongxia: 1585/1585.]
She bowed to the matchmaker, then glanced at Fang Yu and nodded slightly, signaling him to follow.
Fang Yu didn’t say more, just quietly followed.
One month.
Elder sister.
Five thousand health.
Fang Yu knew what he had to do.
Within a month, either scatter the ashes of the Red Moon Demon or let his elder sister survive.
Fang Yu left, and the room returned to its tranquil state.
Matchmaker returned to her desk and took a pen to strike out the na Diao Ruru from the short worker list.
Then, she looked up, deep in thought.
"Demons cannot borrow the power of a spirit."
"They are like two opposing entities; there’s no possibility of coexistence."
"This has been a proposition since ancient tis."
"In the long river of history, not a single demon has managed to combine the two powers."
"Except... for the Fallen Spirit Demon."
"However, that is rely a Fallen Spirit, a spirit that has turned into a demon, not a demon that has acquired the power of a spirit."
"There’s a fundantal difference."
"And the Spirit Powder I developed, with the Fallen Spirit Demon as its core material, is ground and made from it."
"If the experint is successful, even ordinary demons will have the chance to possess the power of a spirit in the future."
"This will be a major innovation that changes the entire Demon Realm!"
"The sudden surge in power will leave demons with no rivals ahead!"
"Yes, as long as it can be achieved."
"The past failures are just temporary."
"Just need humans with the right qualifications to fuse with the Spirit Powder..."
"Then use these humans as the raw material. Slice, debone, grind into powder, re-develop it, and then co back around, feeding it to demons."
"Yes, this approach is feasible!"
"Just wait for the final outco of this batch of qualified humans."
Matchmaker stroked her long hair, her thoughts becoming clearer.
As for the issue with Ronghua Dyeing Factory, as long as cuts are made in ti, it’s not a big deal.
...
Fang Yu left Luo Shen Cloth Workshop but didn’t head straight ho.
He was in turmoil, or rather, very anxious.
Spirit Powder in the brain.
He knows each of these four words.
But combined together, he couldn’t understand at all.
It was due to a lack of knowledge about this ga world.
But just because Fang Yu doesn’t understand, doesn’t an that everyone else doesn’t.
Clutching the Brain Suppressing Pill in his hand and changing direction, Fang Yu headed straight for the Foolish Underworld.
The organs inside his body that had been crushed, under the Organ Regeneration of Green Demon Blood, seed to be slowly regrowing, speeding up their growth by absorbing the surrounding debris.
Bursting into the Foolish Underworld, Fang Yu went straight for Research Demon Mansion.
Because he had been there once before, it was familiar territory.
However, he didn’t expect that after turning a corner, he would run into an acquaintance.
"Yue... Guang?"
Fang Yu was stunned.
He didn’t expect to et this guy at this ti.
Especially just around the corner, almost running into each other, there was no ti to avoid.
"Diao Deyi?!"
Yue Guang was first startled, then upon recognizing Fang Yu, his expression imdiately beca grave, and he pulled him aside.
"What happened to make you so disheveled?"
Fang Yu whispered.
"The demons at Ronghua Dyeing Factory went out of control and rampaged. I almost lost my life there, but thankfully Li Baizhen and the others arrived in ti and took control of the situation."
Ronghua Dyeing Factory? Demons rampaging? Li Baizhen?
Yue Guang was confused.
Recently, the demons under his command have been causing trouble, encouraging Kun Shanhai, aligning with Han ngyu.
He was so angry, he called everyone together to scold them.
He never imagined so much would happen outside.
Fang Yu had told Yue Guang about investigating Ronghua Dyeing Factory in the morning, so Yue Guang didn’t doubt his word.
"The Red Moon Demon..."
Yue Guang’s face was as somber as water.
Always at odds with the Red Moon Demon, and now this incident had occurred, almost killing Diao Deyi!
To know, the only person he could trust now under his command was Diao Deyi!
"Alright, alright..."
"The Red Moon Demon really has so nerve! She doesn’t take seriously!"
"Her subordinates never go mad early or late, but they just happen to do it when you go to investigate?"
Yue Guang sneered repeatedly, then suddenly said.
"You go and rest, I’ll demand justice from the Red Moon Demon!"
"Whoever dares to sche against you is scheming against !"
"No one can bully you! Just like no one can bully !"
Even when beating a dog, one must look at the owner, not to ntion that Diao Deyi has had life-and-death comradeship with him.
But just as Yue Guang was about to leave, Fang Yu snapped his wrist.
"Don’t go!"
Yue Guang’s expression softened.
"Don’t worry about , she wouldn’t dare do anything to !"
After speaking, Yue Guang tried to leave again, but found that Fang Yu hadn’t let go.
"No! I’ve already been to Luo Shen Cloth Workshop and t the Red Moon Demon."
