Online: I Can See Health Bars

The direction is set, so Fang Yu doesn't have to rush.

As the efficiency of processing files has gradually increased these days, he has started to handle everything with ease, leaving him with more free time.

"Diao Deyi, breakfast is ready. Come and sit down to eat."

In the hall, his second sister happily waved him over.

These days, with the Foolish Underworld internally sealed off, Fang Yu has spent most of his time at home. His second sister sees him every day and is visibly in a good mood.

Although he just had breakfast in reality, it doesn't affect Fang Yu's appetite in the game at all.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, his second sister began practicing martial arts in the courtyard. The poses, which even made Fang Yu feel a bit twisted just looking at them, were gradually mastered by his second sister. Her body's flexibility had greatly improved, and she no longer showed any discomfort performing the poses.

The comfortable sunlight, the peaceful little courtyard, and his second sister practicing martial arts, sitting on the rocking chair, Fang Yu felt a rare sense of peace, reminiscent of his childhood.

Since entering the game, he seemed to be constantly striving and working hard, never stopping.

But with the self-sealing of the Foolish Underworld, Fang Yu feels that his pace has suddenly slowed, and life seems to have become leisurely.

His eyes unconsciously close slowly...

"Diao Deyi? Why are you still at home?"

Behind him, he heard Ding Hui's voice.

Turning around, Ding Hui came over with dark circles under her eyes, yawning, scratching her belly with no regard for her image, and walking sleepily.

Normally, such an unkempt appearance in a girl would provoke some comments from anyone who saw her.

But perhaps he was used to it, as Fang Yu didn't find it the least bit inappropriate, instead feeling quite natural.

"You're up early today? Second sister said you usually wake up at noon."

"Woke up hungry, don't mind me. Didn't the Hall Master say yesterday that the Lin Family is sending an envoy? As the captain, shouldn't you go see them?"

Hearing this, Fang Yu was taken aback.

The Lin Family... is sending someone?

And yet...

"The Hall Master didn't inform me," Fang Yu said, puzzled.

Ding Hui tilted her head in confusion before suddenly remembering, "Oh! I made a mistake, it wasn't yesterday. It was mentioned today!"

Today? Today has just begun... Oh! But for Ding Hui, quite a bit of time had already passed today.

Meaning that the Hall Master had mentioned it to her in the early hours.

Just as he was thinking about this, a servant came running over.

"Master, Deputy Captain Zhuo Xueer wants to see you."

Fang Yu looked at Ding Hui, then at his second sister, who was finishing her exercises.

"I'll be right back."

His second sister nodded with some concern, while Ding Hui waved her hand dismissively and went to the hall to find something to eat.

Outside the door, Zhuo Xueer in her Deputy Captain uniform was indeed waiting.

Zhuo Xueer's right eye was no longer a human eye but a vertically slit, amber-colored pupil, with that side of her face having faint fingernail-sized, scale-like patterns.

The effect of more than half demonization gradually leaving marks on her body.

Without the strength of a Wu Hall Master or Diao Deyi's unique Demon Bloodline, as an ordinary Demon Martial Artist, her resistance to demonization was considerably low.

Raising her head to look at Fang Yu, no matter how many times, Zhuo Xueer's expression was still a bit odd.

A former subordinate suddenly becoming a superior in the blink of an eye, this kind of situation felt strange no matter how she thought about it.

But regardless of her thoughts, Zhuo Xueer now had to respectfully salute.

"Captain Diao."

No one would call Fang Yu an Acting Captain, marking such a distinction would only invite trouble.

It was different from being a Reserve Deputy Captain.

The position of Reserve Deputy Captain truly existed, below that of Deputy Captain, belonging to backup personnel.

Calling a "Reserve Deputy Captain" a Deputy Captain would be to overly praise, invite trouble, and disrespect the formal Deputy Captains.

But Acting Captain was different, as an Acting Captain... is basically equivalent to a Captain.

In power and status, there isn't much difference, especially when appointed by the Hall Master. Without a major mistake, this Captain's position could easily become permanent.

"Lord Zhuo Xueer, just call me Diao Deyi as before," Fang Yu said with a smile.

He said this, yet Zhuo Xueer didn't engage with him on the matter.

She had worked hard to become a Deputy Captain and was unwilling to make any mistakes on such small matters.

"Captain Diao, now that you hold the esteemed position of Captain, everything is naturally different from before. Moreover, the Hall Master has ordered that Captain Diao head to the Welcoming Hall now to meet the Lin Family's envoy."

The Welcoming Hall.

A hall specifically used for receiving guests.

Seeing this, Fang Yu refrained from saying more.

"Lead the way."

In the past few days, with the Foolish Underworld sealed off, Fang Yu and Zhuo Xueer, both from the Yangshen Hall, had met quite often.

This matter of address was something he had discussed with her several times, all to no avail.

So now, he no longer insisted.

They quickly made their way to the Welcoming Hall.

Fang Yu noticed that Dong Xingzhou and a few other deputy captains had already arrived, waiting at the entrance.

Such a grand occasion was obviously not just for welcoming the Lin Family's envoy; it was also meant to enhance their presence and exert pressure on the Lin Family's envoy.

Fang Yu smoothly entered the Welcoming Hall, while Zhuo Xueer was stopped outside by the guards raising their hands.

Clearly, only the Hall Master and the captains could enter the Welcoming Hall at present.

After bidding farewell to Zhuo Xueer, Fang Yu entered the Welcoming Hall.

Zhuo Xueer's expression was complex as she watched Fang Yu's departing back before she silently stood next to Dong Xingzhou.

"Doesn't feel great, does it?"

Dong Xingzhou suddenly spoke.

"Uncle Zhou, I, I don't..."
