So it turns out I'm the demon!

Chapter 52 A sea that embraces all rivers is vast and tolerant.

It's unrealistic to try and secure a star position right now.

Judging from the aura emanating from He Shuangying, a legitimate Star Official is indeed not easy to deal with. And without evidence to investigate, the department certainly won't support it.

However, as long as the other party still covets the magic weapon, the two are destined to meet again.

Conflicts arise whenever they meet.

Conflicts create opportunities.

After Zhang Xiaokui and his brother finished cleaning up the fish demon's corpse, the three of them left the city without stopping.

The subsequent demon-slaying operation went exceptionally smoothly.

A den of wolf demons dwelling in an abandoned mine, and a den of bone demons hiding in a mass grave.

There was also a wild pheasant demon who could sing and dance.

As the sun set, the three who had wiped out the demon's lair returned to the Demon Slayer Division in a grand procession.

Looking at the mountain of demon corpses piled up in the courtyard, the members of the Demon Slayer Division were already numb.

Those who had previously mocked the Zhang brothers for their self-degradation now looked on with envy, their jealousy turning Jill purple.

Some people even started secretly wondering whether they should switch jobs to the Eighth Hall.

Even just being a pendant for Master Jiang would be fine.

……

Inside the office where the official in charge of signing documents resided.

Jiang Mu slammed the list on the table and reported to Ran Qingshan:

"My lord, all the demons on the list have been wiped out. Adding to the previous snake demon, this is a tremendous achievement, isn't it? Can I exchange these achievements for something?"

"What do you want to change to?" Ran Qingshan looked up at him.

Jiang Mu chuckled: "Could we get a different Star Official Seal?"

He wanted to create a pseudo-star official for his second Shadow Demon, so that the dual-core system would be more efficient.

Ran Qingshan was taken aback and stared at him:

"Haven't you already attained star status? What else do you need?"

"Well……"

Jiang Mu's eyes darted around, and she made up a story, "I just want to have an extra one. In case I feel that the current star position isn't good enough in the future, or if I want to change my approach someday, I'll have a backup plan, right?"

"Nonsense!"

Ran Qingshan was speechless for a moment, and scolded,

"What do you think this is? Playing house and changing clothes?"

Although the star positions at the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend levels can be changed.

However, it should not be changed too frequently, otherwise it will cause mental disturbance and meridian reversal. At best, it will lead to qi deviation and at worst, it will cause death on the spot!

Moreover, the Star Official Seal is the most important resource of the Demon Slayer Division. Each one is recorded and must be reported to the General Headquarters for verification. How can you just exchange it if you want?

With your achievements, you're far from qualified to obtain a Star Official Seal of Earthly Fiend level.

Jiang Mu was somewhat disappointed: "Then how can I exchange it?"

Ran Qingshan said meaningfully:

"If you can find those traitors lurking in Huzhou City, I might consider using my special privileges to give you one."

"Never mind then."

Jiang Mu immediately deflated.

He thought for a moment, then said:

"How about we change to a storage magic item? It's too inconvenient to drag the demon corpse back every time. I remember that Hall Master Xu Fu has a storage ring."

Ran Qingshan shook his head: "Storage magic items aren't as amazing as you think. The only ones in the department are like Xu Fu's, which have very little space and can only hold some talismans and pills. If you want one, you can exchange it for one with your merit points."

That's it?

Jiang Mu was speechless.

The equipment level of this Demon Slayer Division is really too low.

But something is better than nothing, so Jiang Mu changed to another one.

It was a dusty, grayish-brown copper ring, and the space inside was about the size of a small box.

"Oh, right."

Ran Qingshan suddenly remembered something, his expression turning serious. "Someone came to the department to report that you beat up a civilian in the street. Is that true?"

"Slander! Absolutely slander!"

Jiang Mu immediately shook his head: "I have always abided by the law."

Ran Qingshan snorted coldly and warned:

"Be more careful in your daily actions. Deputy Chief Tian will be back soon, and if he sees you like this, you'll definitely get a scolding, and I won't be able to protect you then."

"Sir, you are the top leader, why are you afraid of the second-in-command?"

Jiang Mu was puzzled.

Ran Qingshan was somewhat helpless:

"After all, he's a veteran, having slain countless demons throughout his life, and he also has connections in the imperial court. Moreover, his younger brother is the garrison commander of Yunzhou City."

After a pause, Ran Qingshan added:

"This Deputy Chief Tian is notoriously short-tempered and rigid, and he despises those spoiled brats who rise to power through connections. Your status already displeases him, and if he finds any fault with you... you'd better avoid him in the future."

Jiang Mu didn't say anything, but simply nodded.

But in his heart, he didn't think so.

So what if your brother is the garrison commander of Yunzhou?

I even called the garrison commander of Huzhou City a beast back then!

General Shangguan didn't do anything to me.

Of course, this is also because General Shangguan is broad-minded.

-

"I'm actually quite vengeful."

On the jade platform by the cold pond, Shangguan Luoxue sat cross-legged, her voice as cold as ice.

"For example, not long ago, someone insulted me. Although I didn't punish them at the time, it doesn't mean I forgot or that I didn't care."

She looked up at the gate of the underground palace:

"So... I feel the same way about you."

At the entrance, a voluptuous and tall figure in black stood quietly.

He was also holding a big watermelon in his arms.

Ling Ye ignored the barb in her words, only looking at that lonely figure, and asked softly:

Why rush to break through?

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Ling Ye sighed and said softly:

"I remember when you were little, the only time I hit you was because you were too crazy and loved to gamble too much."

Even though you only have a 30% chance of finding the medicinal herb on that cliff, you still insist on gambling, even risking your life.

Even though you won the bet, I'm still very angry.

Because luck is finite, and fate doesn't always favor one person.

"So, you came all this way just to see me make a fool of myself?"

Shangguan Luoxue spoke indifferently.

The pond water moved on its own even without wind, rippling in circles.

Purple snowflakes drifted down onto her shoulders and hair, melting quietly upon touching her icy skin, like tear stains dissolving.

Ling Ye's usually cold and beautiful eyes were now tinged with a faint sadness.

She walked step by step toward Shangguan Luoxue.

"call--"

The gently floating snowflakes suddenly stopped, then swept towards Ling Ye like thousands of sharp blades!

Every snowflake carries the chilling intent of a sword.

However, Ling Ye did not dodge, and did not even activate his protective qi.

She didn't stop, continuing forward into the wind and snow.

laugh!laugh!laugh!

The sharp snowflakes tore the veil from her face.

But she still didn't stop.

"Why bother?" Shangguan Luoxue sighed softly.

The snowstorm suddenly stopped.

Ling Ye walked to the jade platform and gazed at his disciple whom he had not seen for several years.

The other person was still breathtakingly beautiful, like a purple epiphyllum blooming alone in the depths of a cold abyss, pure and aloof, not allowing the slightest provocation.

Their lineage is called "Cold Moon".

The Cold Moon Sect has an ironclad rule since ancient times:

The lineage is passed down through a single male heir, and only female disciples are accepted.

Moreover, the entry requirements are extremely stringent. Not only must one have an extraordinary appearance and exceptional physical attributes, but there is also a... bizarre requirement.

One must have a broad enough mind.

The ocean embraces all rivers; its vastness lies in its inclusiveness.

Only in this way can one cultivate the supreme secret manual of the Cold Moon Sect.

Her master was like that.

That's how she is.

Her apprentice, Luo Xue, was the same.

Of course, in terms of hardware, she is indeed superior to the other two.

It should be noted that she already possessed a large 'D' bust when she was only sixteen years old.

Nowadays, it goes without saying.

However, it is precisely because of this somewhat peculiar rule that the Cold Moon Sect has attracted a lot of criticism and ridicule in the martial arts world.

Back then, the notorious villain surnamed "Jiang" jokingly referred to the Cold Moon Sect as the "Wet Nurse Sect".

This infuriated the master.

I remember the fairy master saying to her fiercely before she left:

"Ye'er! The sect cannot be dishonored. You wait here while I go and confront that great demon!"

From that day on.

She never saw her master return.
