Chapter 150 - 139: Still Undercover (2 more updates! Asking for monthly passes!)

Ding Hui looked at Fang Yu.

The voice in his head, at that moment, stopped.

Is there such a good thing?!

Fang Yu’s face lit up with joy.

Then, Ding Hui revealed a mischievous smile.

The voice in his head suddenly rang out again.

"...But there’s a condition."

Damn!

As expected, there’s no such thing as a free lunch falling from the sky.

Fang Yu looked at Ding Hui with frustration.

"You’re not thinking of using my body for research, are you?"

This time, it was Ding Hui herself who spoke.

"I would like to, of course, but I suppose you would not agree."

"So the condition I propose is within what you can bear."

Fang Yu became curious.

"So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

The time for brain transformation seemed to have passed; now, Ding Hui was speaking with her own voice.

"It’s simple."

"A couple of days ago, I received some very interesting intelligence."

"The intelligence says that in Ronghua Street, the Ronghua Dyeing Factory may be harboring a special demon."

"As for how it’s special, I can’t tell you at the moment."

"But if the news is true, then for me, and for the Research Demon Mansion, it will be a brand-new field of exploration."

"Uh... I’m getting a bit carried away; someone like you, a martial artist, generally doesn’t like hearing this sort of thing."

"To put it simply, I want you to infiltrate Ronghua Dyeing Factory. Given the uniqueness of your identity, gather some intelligence, or perhaps capture one or two of those special demons alive and bring them back."

Fang Yu:...

So you want me to go undercover among demons again!

Fang Yu is now mixing in Yue Guang’s circle; he wonders whether it’s appropriate to suddenly run off to Ronghua Dyeing Factory.

And his demon identity is actually only well-known within Yue Guang’s circle; outside of it, others might not accept it.

Mainly because he’s been seen too infrequently, so few demons are aware of him.

"What’s the matter? Unwilling? Then forget it."

"Things like the Demon Core Ice Crystal, there are plenty of people asking for it. I’ll just find someone else to cooperate with."

"I won’t force you, hee hee!"

I didn’t notice it before, but how come I’m feeling you’re a bit of a green tea b*tch too.

Having been a green tea b*tch once, one knows the taste of being a green tea b*tch.

After thinking it over, Fang Yu nodded and agreed.

"I’ll take on this task, but you have to give me the Ice Crystal first."

Ding Hui’s face brightened with joy.

"No problem!"

Same old saying, the Ice Crystal is of no use to her.

But Fang Yu, a Demon Martial Artist suitable for infiltrating demons’ insides, is much more useful to her.

Ding Hui called someone over to make a trip to the storeroom for her.

After a short while, that person came back with a small box.

"Here, the thing you wanted."

Fang Yu opened the box, and a cold air hit his face; the surrounding temperature seemed to drop sharply.

In the brocade box, there lay an irregularly shaped crystal stone, the size of a fist.

Fang Yu was unfamiliar with what a Shuang Xuyao’s Ice Crystal looked like.

But there was no need for Ding Hui to deceive him about this.

Snap.

Closing the brocade box, the chill was immediately isolated.

Is this brocade box also a good item?

Carefully safeguarding the box, Fang Yu got up.

"I’m off."

"Waiting for your good news."

Ding Hui waved her hand; Fang Yu’s figure had already gone far.

She hummed a tune and walked back, in a notably good mood.

If the intelligence is accurate, Diao Deyi will be able to complete the mission in order.

Then, when the time comes, she’ll be the one to receive a big surprise.

"Threads of red steam..."

"The symbol of spirit!"

"Interesting, interesting! There are indeed capable individuals on the demons’ side."

...

After leaving the Research Demon Mansion, Fang Yu went straight to the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy.

Holding the Shuang Xuyao’s Ice Crystal, he wanted to find a place to start cultivating right away.

Obviously, it wasn’t feasible on the road; he could only wait until he arrived at the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy.

At the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy, it had been a few days since he last checked in; it was necessary to show his face, lest the people from the academy think he had died and remove his name.

Fang Yu still wanted to mix it up in the academy and learn other basic Yuan body martial arts.

Don’t talk about biting off more than one can chew.

With Shen Lan in hand, everything is possible.

I might not level up, but I can’t go without it!

When Fang Yu arrived at the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy, he found the entrance deserted.

Walking further inside, he noticed that the number of brothers practicing martial arts had markedly decreased.

"Diao Deyi?"

While he was observing, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Fang Yu turned his head toward the source of the voice.

[Lin Wu: 32/32.]

Well, well, it turns out it’s a trashy 32 Blood level like me from the past.

Too bad, I have become a Thousand Blood Warrior.

And you, you’re still treading water.

Lin Wu, you’ve been left far behind by me!

He gave a slight bow.

"Senior Brother Lin Wu."

Even though I am powerful, I respect tradition and my seniors!

"Great, you’re alright!"

"I haven’t seen you at the academy these past few days; I thought you had ended up the same as Senior Mei..."

At this point, Lin Wu’s voice became lower.

First, it was my second uncle, and then my senior sister.

And many other brothers and sisters perished in the chaos three days ago.

This left Lin Wu feeling despondent and powerless.

With only mediocre talent, Lin Wu couldn’t compete with his peers in the Lin Family.

Coupled with a carefree personality and a low status in the family, he simply chose to leave, to distance himself from the strife, join the martial arts academy, and experience the life of an ordinary person.

Yet he never expected that in one bout of chaos, the people close to him would fall one after another.

Strife is not something you can escape just by wishing it.

The Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy is indeed relatively independent.

But as long as you are deep within the vortex of Tianyuan Town, you can’t escape being drawn into the disputes.

It’s just that regular small disputes don’t reach them, that’s all.

When it’s time to pick a side and help, every person in the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy is just a chess piece of the larger forces.

Even a strong martial artist like their master, within the vortex, can only be at the mercy of others.

Lin Wu understood more clearly the value of power and came to realize that he had never escaped the Lin Family’s control; that all the seemingly peaceful years were just an illusion.

This realization made Lin Wu increasingly despondent and lost.
