"She's something else, that Xiaoqi. Can't mess with her..."

Seeing Lu Yibai had finished showering, Lin Xiaoqi immediately retracted her terrifying aura. She raised the bag of chips Lu Yibai had bought and tilted her head, asking, "Boss, do you want some?"

"You go ahead and eat it," Lu Yibai waved his hand.

Meanwhile, the Night Demon lying on the sofa felt awkward. It couldn't keep up the pretense of being unconscious, but waking up directly also seemed problematic.

"Get up," Lu Yibai said.

The Night Demon quickly got to its feet, moving so fast that certain parts of its body trembled slightly due to the excessive range of motion.

"Name," Lin Xiaoqi asked casually.

"Ye... Ye Yiyi."

"Gender."

"Fe... Female..."

Lu Yibai couldn't help but find it a bit much, wondering, "What's the big deal about asking gender? Is it a mandatory procedure?"

Lin Xiaoqi glanced at Lu Yibai, then at the Night Demon... Ye Yiyi, and explained, "Boss, didn't you see her shed her skin?"

"No," Lu Yibai replied.

Previously, Ye Yiyi had disguised herself by shedding her skin, attempting to escape, but was then rendered immobile by the Lion Umbrella.

"In that case, it's really hard to determine gender," Lin Xiaoqi said.

Lu Yibai: "..."

Amazing!

Were these the legendary "cross-dressing big shots" and "big D cute girls"?

He'd heard that many high-level Night Demons had even switched careers to become streamers...

Lin Xiaoqi continued to educate Lu Yibai, saying, "Boss, you need to know that even male Night Demons require Yang energy, so..."

After a moment, she looked at Lu Yibai and said, "Boss, I don't need to say more, right? I see you and Ji Dekeng always have fun chatting, so you should understand the gay community pretty well, right?"

Understand my ass!

No, how could I understand "ass"? I don't research butts!

"Of course, cross-dressing is definitely more marketable! So, many male Night Demons choose to cross-dress!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Yiyi again, "Right?"

"R-right..."

Seeing how terrified the little demon was, Lu Yibai suspected she wouldn't dare to contradict anything Lin Xiaoqi said.

On Lu Yibai, Ye Yiyi hadn't felt an overly strong Night Watchman aura.

But this woman, barefoot and eating chips, was different. Her aura just now had been too powerful.

Ye Yiyi didn't know exactly how strong it was.

But undoubtedly, she could really blow her own large breasts apart with one punch...

Most importantly, if she were facing a man, perhaps a little "whimper" would make him reluctant to crush the flower.

But Lin Xiaoqi was a woman.

She would really punch every whining monster!

"Shed your skin," Lin Xiaoqi said.

Lu Yibai immediately turned his back.

Ye Yiyi first took off her skirt, then reached her hands behind her back.

Her slender fingers touched somewhere, and with a gentle pull, all the disguise on her body fell off.

Rather than "human skin," it was more like a tight-fitting suit, just one that adhered perfectly.

"Are you done?" Lu Yibai asked.

"You can turn around now, boss," Lin Xiaoqi said.

Lu Yibai turned around and first looked at Ye Yiyi.

Her skin was very pale, a pallor that suggested long-term lack of sunlight, a slightly sickly white.

Secondly, there were faint black markings on her body, somewhat like tattoos, but they were innate.

There were two on her face as well.

It looked a bit eerie, yet it added a strange kind of beauty.

But no matter how you looked at it, she didn't seem like a normal person.

If all Night Demons were like this, a disguise would indeed be necessary in human society.

As for her pupils, they were still brown, just like before.

And in Lin Xiaoqi's hand was something that looked a bit like human skin.

It looked… a little uncomfortable.

But she didn't seem to mind at all.

She touched it lightly with her finger and said, "It's not human skin. It must be a high-end item you made yourself from special materials, right?"

Ye Yiyi nodded, a hint of pride in her expression.

This was her strongest area.

Quickly, she immediately added, "I haven't taken any human lives, nor have I done anything bad. I'm a Night Demon with principles. I don't get involved with humans more than twice, and I haven't destroyed anyone's family..."

Lu Yibai's mouth twitched. What was she even talking about!

Is getting addicted to dates the principle for you Night Demons?

Lin Xiaoqi said directly, "Your word doesn't count."

As she spoke, she raised her left hand. A golden rune flickered on her palm; it was the Night Watchman Mark.

Damn! Why could her mark glow!

Lin Xiaoqi pointed her palm at Ye Yiyi. Soon, a small green light point appeared suspended in front of her Night Watchman Mark.

It looked a bit like a drop of green blood!

While making the movements with her hand, Lin Xiaoqi didn't forget to brief Lu Yibai, "Boss, you can use the Night Watchman Mark to investigate. If a red light point appears, it means she's taken a human life. If it's a green light point, it means she's killed a demon."

There were many mystical theories among the Night Watchmen, such as soul marks. If you killed someone, you would naturally carry that person's soul mark, which could not be erased.

This indirectly proved that Ye Yiyi was telling the truth. She hadn't harmed any humans, at least. She was a demon who had integrated into human society normally, and the Night Watchmen usually wouldn't do anything to them.

In the past few years when "Human-Demon Harmony" was promoted, they might have even received banners or medals.

"Little girl, not bad. You even killed your own kind? You're really bringing honor to your Night Demon race!" Lin Xiaoqi said.

Lu Yibai was also a bit surprised. This seemingly weak Night Demon had actually killed other demons?

Demons did kill each other.

Ye Yiyi having one green light meant she had killed a demon.

"N-no, that's not it," Ye Yiyi stammered.

Finally, seeing Lin Xiaoqi's scrutinizing gaze, she gritted her teeth and said, "There was… there was one time I wasn't careful with… safety measures, and then… then… I had an abortion, medically induced."

Hearing this, Lu Yibai's mouth twitched even more violently.

What the hell was she playing at!

So the thing she killed was a fertilized egg?

He immediately lost all interest.

What he was more interested in now was – why couldn't his mark glow!

He was envious!

Regarding Lu Yibai's confusion, Lin Xiaoqi asked in surprise, "Boss, can't you feel the Night Watchman energy within you?"

"You mean those small light points?"

"Yes."

After these two hours of rest, the few small light points within him had recovered a little.

"Boss, you just need to guide those light points into the Night Watchman Mark. It's very simple."

Lu Yibai nodded, preparing to try.

He raised his left hand, attempting to guide the energy within him.

Soon, his palm lit up, and then immediately dimmed.

It was like a light bulb that flashed and then went out.

Not enough power!

Regardless, it was at least successfully activated.

Coincidentally, his palm was pointing at Lin Xiaoqi at that moment.

In front of his palm, green light points began to appear.

Each one represented the life of a demon.

One, two, three, four...

More and more, so many...

Dense!
