"Long Poem Canvas Demon, Ghost Fire Demon, Light Feather Demon... You all made great contributions yesterday. Each of you will be rewarded with two Vine Flower Romance and five Strange Flower Beans..."

The time for acknowledging merits and distributing rewards had begun.

Most of the demons present were Fang Yu's subordinates. Naturally, they all pricked up their ears, eagerly waiting for their names to be called.

Although Vine Flower Romance was not as superior as some other cultivation materials like Clouded Heart Liquid, it was still extremely difficult to acquire for these Little Demons.

Not to mention the Strange Flower Beans and Mingyan Beads; to them, these were top-quality treasures, highly beneficial to their strength enhancement.

After all, these were rewards originally intended for noble demons like Demon Foot; now being distributed among the Little Demons, they were overjoyed.

High-quality treasures were out of reach for those of lower status, not even daring to yearn for them.

But the second-tier treasures were genuinely within their grasp.

In an instant, the group of demons became excited, with all their attention focused on Fang Yu.

Besides Fang Yu's subordinates, there were also other demons and demon tails who had come to spectate, hearing that the prestigious Demon Foot Gui Yuan had arrived.

Little did they expect the entertainment to be this substantial. The former noble Demon Foot Gui Yuan was demoted to a mere tail, and the newly risen Blood Demon was generously lavishing rewards, consolidating loyalty.

"Lord Blood Demon! I, the tidal wave demon tail, wish to join Lord Blood Demon's command! To serve you!"

At this moment, the dust had settled and a demon tail, who had been observing for a while, finally started to publicly pledge loyalty.

Gui Yuan recognized the vocal demon immediately. It was the one who initially tried to ingratiate itself with her, but she disdained it for its weak power and declined to recruit.

Now, it had turned its coat, wanting to follow Blood Demon.

Wrong! I am now under the Blood Demon's command as well! Damn!

Realizing this, Gui Yuan was even more infuriated.

However, by this time, Fang Yu, being surrounded by a throng of demons, had already delegated the messy business to Che Linfang.

When it came to understanding his subordinates and the specifics of their contributions, it had to be Che Linfang.

At most, Fang Yu was responsible only for distributing rewards among a few demon tails and leaders like Che Linfang.

As for the wild demon tails clamoring to join his new Demon Foot ranks, Fang Yu simply picked a few with promising vitality to join, and left the rest for Che Linfang to assess.

Moreover, the strongest among his demon tails was, in fact, Gui Yuan who was compelled to join his team. Yet she was full of resentment, and making her obediently work for him would not be easy; Fang Yu preferred to ignore her for the time being.

"Me, I should handle this?!"

Hearing Fang Yu wanted to leave the matter to her, Che Linfang felt tremendous pressure.

It was something she used to handle regularly, yet the subtle shift in her mindset due to her promotion made her nervous while working.

Fortunately, she quickly got the hang of it. Refusing some, keeping others, accepting new ones, and making a list...

Soon, Che Linfang was engulfed in her work, leaving Fang Yu unexpectedly at ease.

Seeing nothing else needed his attention here, Fang Yu prepared to leave.

"Are you leaving?"

Gui Yuan sharply caught Fang Yu's movements.

"What else?"

Fang Yu was no less annoyed with Gui Yuan than she was with him.

After all, she'd only be following his orders for three months; as long as she carried out his commands, that was fine. If she caused any trouble, he would just complain to Brother Qing and let her deal with him.

"... "

Gui Yuan, of course, wouldn't interfere but watching Fang Yu depart, she was even more convinced that this man had little experience with control.

"Good! Once I hollow out your authority and draw all your subordinates to my side, making your Demon Foot title nothing but an empty name, I'll see what kind of splendid expression you'll have on your face then."

Gui Yuan thought to herself, then noticed someone sneaking out with Blood Demon, and it seemed to be one of the leaders mentioned by Blood Demon.

Gui Yuan shook her head slightly, not bothering to meddle further.

She needed more observation of the demon tails present, and of Blood Demon's team dynamics, to facilitate her next move.

...

Outside the inn.

"Lord! Please wait, my lord!"

Fang Yu turned around to see it was Bie Huzi.

[Bie Huzi: 1066/1066.]

For such a long time, Bie Huzi's health points seemed to change little, indicating that his strength was stable.

He probably had given up on this aspect of growth and was focusing solely on managing the team.

With the increase in strength and status, Fang Yu's ranks were no longer short of enforcers.

A Thousand Blood Demon could not even be considered elite, so there wasn't any expectation for Bie Huzi to keep up with the times.

Therefore, Fang Yu had low expectations for Bie Huzi; as long as he could get the job done, rewards and convenience would not be withheld from him.

However, Fang Yu was indeed surprised when Bie Huzi suddenly chased after him.

Quickly, he thought of a possibility and said,

"What's the matter? Could it be that you feel some way about me giving the Demon Tail position to Che Linfang?"

"Uh."

Bie Huzi didn't expect Fang Yu to bring this up and was caught off guard, not knowing what to say for a moment, but he heard Fang Yu laugh and say.

"Don't worry, what Che Linfang has, you will have too. It's just that promoting several Demon Tails at once will be too conspicuous. Once Che Linfang's position is confirmed, I will promote you to Demon Tail after some time."

Hearing Fang Yu say this, Bie Huzi's eyes immediately brightened.

He did not expect such a pleasant surprise simply from coming to report,

but then he thought that the Demon Lord probably had this in mind as well; he's just letting him know in advance to prevent any disappointment.

The Demon Lord has me in his consideration!

Right away, Bie Huzi kneeled halfway.

"Thank you, Lord, for the promotion!"

Having been around for so long, Bie Huzi had a strong premonition about leaders under whom he could rise.

The previous Demon Tail, Green Demon, gave Bie Huzi the impression of a meteoric rise.

Unfortunately, it ended prematurely.

As for Fang Yu, he actually didn't have much expectation at the start.

But Fang Yu, with each step, climbed slowly up and now has even become Demon Foot! I got to bask in the light along the way...

Bie Huzi was filled with emotion.

While Fang Yu simply smiled.

"Get up, it's too conspicuous on the main road."

"Yes!"

After standing up, Bie Huzi hurriedly came close to Fang Yu's ear to report,

"Lord, I actually came up because there's something else I need to report."

"Oh? Say it."

"Lord, a group of people suddenly showed up on my territory, wanting to borrow my power to get into the Foolish Underworld. If it was just simply infiltrating the Foolish Underworld, naturally I wouldn't report it to you. But after my probing, I found out their target is actually your residence!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu's expression instantly stiffened.

"Somebody... wants to target me?"

"Yes!"

Fang Yu frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Where are they?"

"I had my men catch them and lock them up in a secret room."

Fang Yu was puzzled.

"Their strength is mediocre, and even you could take them down?"

Bie Huzi smiled sheepishly.

"Lord, I can't, but I still have other underlings, right?"

That's true.

Still, Bie Huzi's subordinates were at most around 2000 to 3000 blood, and at the very most, a Demon Tail with 4000 blood might come to assist.

With this level, they could easily take down this group? Then what made them dare to target my residence?

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes.

Regardless, a threat to the residence is a threat to the safety of my elder sister; it must be addressed.

Moreover, Fang Yu recalled something Mi Hengpeng reported — a group of people had their eyes on his residence.

Could it be this group of people?

"Let's go! Take me to see them."

"Yes!"

Bie Huzi led the way with Fang Yu following behind when he suddenly noticed two people ahead in the street who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

[Li Lan: 10500/10500.]

[Li Anlu: 40000/40000.]

Forty thousand blood... a Great Demon!?
