CHAPTER 842: CHAPTER 386: HOW DARE YOU_2

"Yes, yes!"

Mi Hengpeng was full of regret, cursing himself for his momentary stupidity.

Otherwise, now that his direct superior had become the acting captain, wouldn’t his own position rise accordingly?

Unlike now, having lost the trust of the boss, he became nothing in this faction.

Mi Hengpeng turned away dejectedly, feeling that his frantic investigation into the intelligence about the Six Ghost Path Rats, as well as his hard cultivation to break through the realm, seemed meaningless.

He vaguely realized that a chance capable of changing a person’s life had quietly slipped through his fingers.

...

Returning to the Diao Residence, Fang Yu immediately summoned the steward and instructed him to procure medicinal materials.

Just as he finished speaking, Ding Hui, munching on an apple, appeared out of nowhere.

"Did the servants say you’re back? Buying medicinal materials as soon as you return? Why? Are you going to refine medicine yourself?"

Fang Yu rolled his eyes internally; he didn’t know how at all. If he really bought the medicinal materials, he would definitely have to ask Ding Hui to help with refining medicine.

However, before Fang Yu could speak, Ding Hui already grabbed the list from the steward’s hand, took a bite of the apple, glanced at it, and mumbled.

"These are just ordinary medicinal materials. I have them there. What medicine do you need to refine? I’ll help you with it."

Feeling grateful, Fang Yu quickly explained to Ding Hui about the Wood Blood Pill needed for cultivating the "Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu."

As soon as Fang Yu said it, Ding Hui immediately understood, without the need for those complicated instructions in the cultivation technique for refining medicine.

"Did you rush back specifically for these? Urgent?"

Ding Hui eyed Fang Yu sideways.

"Not particularly urgent."

Ding Hui tossed the remaining apple core on the ground, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, unconcerned about dirtying her clothes: "Then it is urgent. I’ll head back and refine a few for you first."

With that, not waiting for Fang Yu to respond, she waved her hand and left on her own, not even asking what he did or heard at the Welcoming Hall.

It’s hard to tell if Ding Hui is carefree or just emotionally intelligent.

Shaking his head slightly, Fang Yu let the steward leave, then took out the "Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu" to study it carefully, to avoid any issues during cultivation later.

As for the second sister, she was currently bathing after finishing her daily martial arts practice, so she wouldn’t be seen for a while.

Just then...

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Three deafening bell chimes sounded.

Then, the voice of An Menyi, amplified as if through a speaker, reached every corner of the Foolish Underworld. The sound was loud near and soft far, yet at Fang Yu’s location, it was still moderate.

"All members of the Foolish Underworld, hear this: Effective immediately, the ban is lifted, and everyone is free to go out again."

It was a simple announcement, but it also indicated that this vast organization, the Foolish Underworld, would resume its normal operations.

Fang Yu ignored it and continued to study the cultivation technique.

Soon, there was a knock on the door from outside.

A servant entered and whispered a report in Fang Yu’s ear.

"Let her in."

As Fang Yu spoke, the servant withdrew.

Shortly after, the figure of Che Linfang appeared before Fang Yu.

"Captain Diao, it’s not easy to see you."

Despite her complaint, Che Linfang had a smile on her face.

The demon lurking within the Foolish Underworld had climbed to the position of acting captain.

What did this imply?

The entire Foolish Underworld was basically in the bag! It was just a matter of when the Great Demon above would start acting and thoroughly chew down this bone of the Foolish Underworld.

With Fang Yu’s great merit, she, this Little Demon, would naturally rise as well.

Fang Yu had already put away the cultivation technique and smiled.

"I knew that once this news was out, you would surely come to see me."

Che Linfang glanced around, ensuring no one was nearby, then lowered her voice excitedly: "The ban is lifted, we can contact those above! With your great contributions this time, you might be immediately promoted again!"

Promoted to what, a demon body?

Probably not so soon.

But, with the identity of an acting captain, it should be possible to gain many benefits from the demons?

After not managing the demons for so long, I wonder if the Gui Yuan Great Moth Demon has caused any trouble; that guy never submitted to me.

"Shall we go out now?" Che Linfang suggested.

"No rush, you first, like the others, take on a mission to patrol outside and get in touch with them. Once I finish what’s at hand, I’ll come over to meet up with you."

"Alright!"

Following Fang Yu’s arrangement, Che Linfang hadn’t left the Foolish Underworld for several days to avoid attracting attention. Now that she could go out, she was like a prisoner finally regaining freedom, eager to leave immediately.

After Che Linfang left, not long after, the second sister also came out after bathing and changing clothes. Naturally, she had heard of the lifting of the ban and wanted to cook something for Fang Yu herself while he was still free from outside assignments.

Nowadays, the second sister had adapted to the life of a wealthy family, cooking herself much less, getting used to being served by maids, and gradually having a bit of the grand lady’s demeanor.

Of course, some habits left from the days of poverty still had traces, making her slightly different from a true noble lady.

Looking out from the Diao Residence, people began to leave in groups along the roads of the Foolish Underworld.

Having been cooped up for days, many had long been looking forward to going out, feeling stifled from being confined in the Foolish Underworld.

During this time, Jie Yuxue, Suo Fengxiang, and others came by, even asking for martial arts instruction, which was promptly excused...

Fang Yu casually brushed them off; they didn’t mind much. Yet, even after a few days, they still felt the transformation of Fang Yu’s status was somewhat surreal, unreal.
