ăWatching Luo Ningâs serious expression, Ye Yu couldnât help but laugh.ă
ăFor some reason, he found the current Luo Ning strangely amusing.ă
ăPerhaps it was because the stammerer he remembered had suddenly become fluentâa novelty to him.ă
ăThis version of Luo Ning was truly adorable.ă
ăAs for releasing her clansmen, that was an easy decision.ă
ăHe hadnât intended to keep the clam demon anyway.ă
ăMoreover, Luo Ning had protected the Ye familyâs members more than once back on land.ă
ăSuch a favor had to be returned.ă
ăSo Ye Yu thought for a moment and immediately brought the clam demon beside him over to Luo Ning.ă
ăâReturning whatâs intact, donât look at me with such a cold gaze.ă
ăRemember, youâre my little sisterâs sister-in-law.âă
ăThis teasing remark flushed Luo Ningâs cheeks bright red.ă
ăAll the demons present changed their expressions drastically.ă
ăâLittle sisterâs sister-in-law? Doesnât that â NĐŸvĐ”lđght â (Exclusive on NĐŸvĐ”lđght) mean sheâs the elder brotherâs wife?âă
ăâWhat? Theyâre a couple?âă
ăEven the clam demons behind Luo Ning glanced at Ye Yu a few times.ă
ăLuo Ning knew it was a joke and didnât directly refute it, but asked again: âHow did you end up here? Did you lead people to attack my Li Water Clam clan?âă
ăYe Yu waved his hand: âDonât falsely accuse me. Itâs my first time going underwater, just came to see the excitement.ă
ăThose attacking your clan should be the others.âă
ăHe pointed at Dongfang Kuo and his group.ă
ăThe clam demons nearby also agreed: âSister Luo Ning, this demonâs right. It was that snake demon who broke through our Li Water Clam clan.âă
ăUpon hearing this, Luo Ningâs eyes turned icy as she looked at Dongfang Kuo.ă
ăBut she didnât immediately attack.ă
ăShe knew well that although she had cultivated the Jade Sea Tide Summoning Technique to perfection,ă
ăshe was barely mid-stage Earth Demon Realm.ă
ăDongfang Kuo, clearly a powerful Heavenly Demon Realm demon,ă
ăhad just arrived and seized a few of her clansmen while she was unprepared.ă
ăNow both sides were alert; even with home advantage, she might not win.ă
ăMoreover, many land demons were present; if fighting broke out, she wouldnât gain anything.ă
ăSo the priority was to withdraw safely.ă
ăRevenge could wait.ă
ăDongfang Kuo snorted coldly, drew a silver spear, and pointed it at Luo Ning.ă
ăâYou clam demons, stop wasting my time. Today, Iâm taking you all.âă
ăâYan Gu, your âbig shotâ is already in their camp. Whatâs your plan?âă
ăâDonât say Iâm not looking out for youâcome with me, and Iâll give you two clam demons. But if you dare block me, Iâll expose your help to the water demons, making you the public enemy of all Sea Capture teams!âă
ăHis words combined threats and bribes.ă
ăAll places have cliques; so does the Sea Capture War.ă
ăHelping water demons against Dongfang Kuoâs team would make Yan Gu a despised traitor.ă
ăNot helping would betray Liangxin Workshop.ă
ăYe Yuâs position clearly sided with the clam demons.ă
ăIt was a difficult choice.ă
ăYan Gu looked at Ye Yu and said softly: âVice Workshop Master Ye Yu, this is our Sea Capture businessâplease donât interfere.âă
ăYe Yu twirled his fingers lightly and said calmly: âWhat if I told you this female demon is very important to me?âă
ăLuo Ning flickered her eyes, secretly glancing at Ye Yu.ă
ăDongfang Kuo sneered: âYan Gu, donât talk nonsense. Blocking a rich demon is like killing your own parent demon. Even if this guy is Liangxin Workshopâs Vice Workshop Master, so what?âă
ăâLiangxin Workshop isnât the only auction house around.**
ăIf worst comes to worst, weâll just replace him.â**
ăâKill him and frame the water demonsâthatâs not hard to do.â**
ăHonestly, Dongfang Kuo was just running his mouth.**
ăIf not for fear that Yan Gu would stop him, he wouldnât bother with this warning.ă
ăYan Gu had a hundred strong demons; their choice could influence the war.**
ăThat was why Dongfang Kuo generously offered clam demonsâto sway Yan Gu.ă
ăYan Guâs eyes flickered; he tightened his grip on his magic tool.ă
ăHe coldly shouted: âVice Workshop Master Ye Yu, leave now and Iâll still respect you. But if you insist on siding with the clam demons, donât blame us for showing no mercy.âă
ăFeeling the thick murderous intent around him, Ye Yu laughed.ă
ăJust over two hundred demons, highest level early Heavenly Demon Realm, yet daring to talk big hereâabsurd.ă
ăYe Yuâs small fan suddenly glowed brightly.ă
ăIn the next moment, a black bone fan appeared before himâYin Bat Fan.ă
ăImmediately, the surrounding sea within a thousand li boiled fiercely.ă
ăA terrifying pressure spread into every demonâs heart.ă
ăYan Gu and Dongfang Kuoâs faces turned pale.ă
ăIn unison: âGolden Demon Realm.âă
ăThe huge power gap crushed all resistance.ă
ăYan Gu stood dumbfounded, then gave a self-mocking laugh.ă
ăYes, with an organization like Liangxin Workshop, the Vice Workshop Master wouldnât be powerless.ă
ăOtherwise, how could he so confidently go underwater alone?**
ăHe should have realized this soonerâtoo bad.**
ăCompared to Yan Guâs giving up, Dongfang Kuo was quicker.**
ăSeeing Ye Yuâs power, his first reaction was to turn and flee.**
ăWithout hesitation, his speed was astonishing.**
ăBut Ye Yu never intended to let these demons go.ă
ăHe lightly waved the bone fan.**
ăCountless bat shadows appeared from thin air and, in moments, devoured all the Sea Capture demons present.ă
ăEven the fleeing Dongfang Kuo was not spared.ă
ăSatisfied with the effect, Ye Yu turned to the dazed Luo Ning beside him.ă
ăâNow you can believe Iâm not on their side, right? Stop standing there blanklyâsmile a little.âă
ăYe Yu said as he gently placed a smile on Luo Ningâs face.ă
ăShe was so stunned by Ye Yuâs fierce action, she completely forgot to resist.ă
ăJust then, a sharp female voice rang out:ă
ăâBold demon, remove your hand immediately.âă
