Chapter 1476: An Unexpected Encounter!

“Scram!”

Ye Yuan’s face darkened as he coldly shouted at the few demon women.

An icy killing intent spread, and those demon women turned pale as paper, involuntarily stepping back.

If it were before, they would have ignored Ye Yuan’s rebuke and instead flirted with him.

But now, Ye Yuan had killed Langge with two sword strikes; who would dare to take him lightly?

The women parted to make way, and Ye Yuan leisurely walked through them toward the city gate.

In the demon territory, such street killings were commonplace, and the city guards didn’t even bother to look.

The demon race was like this—a terrifying place of survival of the fittest.

As long as you were strong enough, you could earn respect.

If you were too weak, you either submitted or died—it was that simple.

Thus, Ye Yuan felt no psychological burden for killing Langge.

Just as Ye Yuan was about to enter the city, an old man suddenly blocked his path.

“Young friend, our master sees that you have excellent skills and would like to invite you to join the Fan family. What do you think?” the old man said directly.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently, “Oh? What are the conditions?”

In the demon city, warriors had to join a faction, or they would be devoured until nothing remained.

Entering the city today, they might be lying dead on the street tomorrow.

Two fists are no match for four hands; no matter how strong one was, they couldn’t withstand a crowd.

In the royal city, there were many powerful experts at the Return to Void realm. Even Ye Yuan would have no chance of survival if he encountered them.

The old man smiled and said, “Young friend has extraordinary strength, able to kill a Second Star Perfection with a Second Star Mid-grade. Naturally, you deserve much better treatment than other guest elders. Our young lady said that if you agree to join the Fan family, your treatment will be twice that of an ordinary Second Star Perfection guest elder!”

Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, but his gaze fell on Li Ji, who was atop the fierce beast.

Li Ji seemed to have been watching the commotion. When she saw Ye Yuan look up, a hint of a smile flashed across her face.

Her gaze was bold, fiery, and passionate—impossible to refuse!

“Tsk, this demon woman has a unique charm when she smiles!” Ye Yuan sighed inwardly.

Ye Yuan had to admit that Li Ji was in no way inferior to the most beautiful human women.

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, “Deal! But I have one more condition!”

The old man smiled and said, “Whatever the condition, just name it.”

Ye Yuan said coldly, “I want five slaves!”

Hearing this, the old man chuckled, “I thought it was something serious. Even if you didn’t mention it, we would have prepared them for you. Every guest elder of the Fan family is allocated three slaves. As for you, young friend, five is naturally no problem.”

Ye Yuan nodded and pointed at a middle-aged man in Li Ji’s carriage convoy, saying, “Good, but… I want that man!”

The old man turned to look and his face showed difficulty. “This… although he is a slave, he is one of Miss Li Ji’s guards and deeply trusted by her. I’m afraid… that’s not appropriate?”

Ye Yuan grinned and said, “Heh, is this what you call sincerity? I know the Fan family is very powerful, but not so powerful that I have no choice but to join! If we can’t see eye to eye, farewell!”

With that, Ye Yuan waved his hand and was about to enter the city.

Suddenly, a figure blocked Ye Yuan’s path—it was Li Ji.

Her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Yuan as she smiled, “What’s a mere demon slave? If you like him, young master, take him.”

Among the demons, both humans and demons could only become the lowest slaves, no matter how strong they were.

Ye Yuan laughed heartily. "Miss Li Ji is indeed straightforward! Rest assured, Miss Li Ji, you get what you pay for—Yuanye won't let you down! But I do need someone capable to handle the errands and manage the chores."

Yuanye was the demon name Ye Yuan had given himself, simply reversing the syllables of his original name.

The name Ye Yuan was far too different from those of the demons.

Li Ji smiled. "Li Ji understands! Your skill, young master, truly impresses me. I'll be relying on you a great deal from now on."

Ye Yuan glanced around and laughed. "Miss Li Ji, do you see their looks? They're all envious that I get to work by your side! Yuanye is a man, and it's an honor to serve you, Miss Li Ji!"

Li Ji beamed. "Young Master Yuanye certainly has a way with words. Let's return to the Fan residence."

The demons revered the strong. Li Ji had taken in the strength Ye Yuan displayed, and with his handsome face, her demonic nature began to show.

That cold beauty now bloomed like a flower in full blossom.

The people around looked at Ye Yuan with envy in their eyes.

In all of Karpeng City, there were few who could make Lady Liji so happy!

Clearly, Ye Yuan had put her in a good mood.

To be able to chat and laugh with Lady Liji—even death would be worth it!

Liji approached the demon slave and said flatly, "From now on, you belong to Master Yuanye!"

The slave bowed and said, "Yes, Lady Liji. Long Zhan greets his master!"

Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Liji forced a mark from between her brows and sent it to Ye Yuan, saying, "This is Long Zhan's slave mark. From now on, he is your man."

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Lady Liji. This lad looks quite clever; I took a liking to him at first sight."

Liji smiled and said, "Master Yuanye has a keen eye. Among my guards, he is the cleverest."

Ye Yuan also looked smug, accepting it with ease.

Among the demon race, humility was never regarded as a virtue; on the contrary, it was despised.

If you had strength, you could be arrogant, you could be lawless!

If you had strength, you could accept others' admiration!

Strength was everything!

Things like ethics and moral principles were all nonsense in the demon territory.

Young Master Yuan Ye, let's return to the Fan family!

Li Ji rode a fierce beast and led the group back to the Fan family.

The Fan family was one of the four great clans of Kapen Royal City, with formidable strength.

Li Ji was the jewel of the Fan family, one of the most beautiful women in Kapen Royal City, admired by countless demon men.

However, Ye Yuan certainly wasn't truly captivated by Li Ji when he agreed to join the Fan family.

In fact, Ye Yuan's furious killing outside the city gate was deliberately done to show off his strength to Li Ji.

Sure enough, after seeing his strength, Li Ji came to recruit him.

And the reason Ye Yuan did this was for this slave—Long Zhan!

When Long Zhan approached him, the Sacred Dragon Token reacted.

In the Tongtian Realm, what kind of person could make the Sacred Dragon Token react?

The answer was already obvious!

Ye Yuan hadn't expected that coming to Kapen Royal City would allow him to encounter someone who could trigger the Sacred Dragon Token!
