Crow City, Answer Bar.
Ye Yiyi felt as if she were living in a dream.
Originally, she had only been a tiny Night Demon.
Although she had her own interests, hobbies, and lofty ideals, and loved playing role-playing games, she had always been the most ordinary kind of demon.
In the world of demons, strength ultimately reigned supreme.
She was a queen in bed, but a bronze-ranked player in reality.
She had no status.
But things were different now!
First, while she was muddling through a role-playing game, she had somehow been picked up by a man who was probably a Night Watchman.
Well, to this day, she still hadn't sensed any particularly powerful aura from Lu Yibai.
Then she had encountered this terrifying woman, whose figure was even more explosive than her own and who slaughtered demons as casually as cutting grass!
Never in her dreams had she expected to walk into this legendary Night Watchmen Bar!
And judging from the current situation, she might well be settling here for the long term.
It had been mentioned before that Lu Yibai and Lin Xiaoqi both felt it was a waste to leave Answer Bar deserted. They might as well open it and receive customers!
However, the two of them had missions to attend to, so they might not be at the bar during business hours. The bar needed someone to stay behind, right?
Thus, after Boss Lu and Lin Xiaoqi discussed it, they unanimously decided that this Night Demon, who looked so easy to bully, was a good choice.
First, Night Demons were nocturnal creatures who kept their days and nights reversed. They couldn't stand the light.
Second, she was pretty...at least her skin was.
She also had a pleasant voice and knew how to whimper cutely!
Moreover, the Night Demon clan excelled at ingratiating themselves with others and dealing with customers. It was incredibly easy for them.
The prerequisite was that they didn't make a date with a customer!
Of course, that was easy enough to solve.
Night Demons mainly needed yang energy, and the Lion Umbrella could provide it.
Ye Yiyi had already experienced how abundant and nourishing Lion Umbrella's supply was. She felt as if she were about to take flight. Compared with the pitifully small amount of yang energy in other men's bodies... Yeah, right!
Having seen the vast ocean, ordinary water no longer impressed her; after seeing Wushan's clouds, other clouds paled in comparison.
She couldn't be bothered with them anymore!
In any case, the bar wasn't offering mixing services for now. The customers could simply choose their own drinks, while Ye Yiyi only needed to handle the work of a waitress.
Of course, she was still on probation for now. There was no reason to trust her so quickly.
As a Night Demon with ideals and ambitions, Ye Yiyi had never imagined that one day she would board the great ship of the Night Watchmen Bar.
Although she wasn't an official member of the Night Watchmen, at least she had someone to rely on now!
Lin Xiaoqi sat beside Ye Yiyi and gently patted her head like a big sister. "From now on, we're family!"
Of course, she didn't forget to add, "I'll protect you from now on!"
Wow! The warmth of home! The affection of a powerful big sister!
She wanted to cry!
As a Night Demon who had wandered from place to place, Ye Yiyi had always wanted a home of her own.
"Sis Xiaoqi, Boss, thank you. I've always longed for this feeling of having a home. I've always been rushing from place to place, always longing for someone to wait for me at home and worry about me..."
Lu Yibai froze for a moment and asked in puzzlement, "You long for someone to wait for you at home and worry about you... Then why don't you deliver takeout? Plenty of people would be waiting at home and worrying about you."
Ye Yiyi: "..."
Her new boss's train of thought really went off in strange directions sometimes.
Lin Xiaoqi promptly handed her a tissue. "All right, stop getting emotional. I was only being polite."
That really hurt.
It was already almost four in the morning. In a little while, the sky would begin to brighten.
Ye Yiyi found it inconvenient to go outside during the day. Sunlight shining on her was torturous, as if she had been placed on a rack and roasted over a fire.
So after deciding to settle down at Answer Bar, she hurried out to buy some necessities from a convenience store that was open twenty-four hours a day.
After Ye Yiyi left, Lu Yibai asked Lin Xiaoqi, "What was the deal with the Lion Umbrella?"
He wasn't deliberately guarding against Ye Yiyi, but it was always better to be cautious.
Lin Xiaoqi sat cross-legged on the sofa, her well-proportioned, slender legs crossed together. This woman was absolutely part of the "legs worth a hundred years" category.
She glanced at Lu Yibai and said, "Boss, you can think of these four black umbrellas as something like magical treasures."
After defining the four large black umbrellas, she continued, "Boss, you know that our lineage mainly practices Body Refining. Our bodies are indeed very strong, but compared with other Night Watchmen, we lack a few special abilities."
"For example, every attack by some Night Watchmen comes with a lightning effect. Our lineage doesn't have that."
"These four large black umbrellas can make up for that shortcoming."
Lu Yibai nodded. He more or less understood.
They were like equipment that added attributes in a game.
"Boss, I haven't used the Lion Umbrella myself. I always use my own dedicated one. You can study it slowly later."
"Also, my suggestion is that since you've already chosen the Lion Umbrella, Boss, you shouldn't use the Skull Umbrella."
"Why? Could that umbrella be sinister?" Lu Yibai asked curiously.
"No, the two umbrellas follow different paths. If you try to chew too much, you'll choke. That's what all the novels say, isn't it?"
Using online novels as an example really wasn't convincing at all, was it?
However, Lu Yibai couldn't be bothered to think too much about it. Lin Xiaoqi was, for the time being, his guide, and she wouldn't harm him.
The most important thing now was to improve his strength.
With the energy currently inside his body, he couldn't even activate the Lion Umbrella. At most, he could leak a little yang energy for Ye Yiyi to absorb.
It was rather embarrassing.
Before dawn, Ye Yiyi returned carrying large and small bags. She entered her room and covered it up completely, ensuring that not a single ray of sunlight could enter.
Lin Xiaoqi also yawned and walked into her own room on her long, slender legs.
Before entering, she waved and called, "Boss, good morning!"
Other people said good night before bed. Saying good morning somehow felt strange.
As for Lu Yibai, he returned to his room to cultivate as usual.
His recent cultivation was even more painful than before.
This lousy cultivation method really did torture people!
Since it focused on cultivating through pain, perhaps this cultivation scripture should just be called "Menstrual Pain"?
Maybe it was more suited to a little masochism.
Lu Yibai had also asked Lin Xiaoqi whether, like in the novels, he could eat some pills or take a medicinal bath to aid his cultivation. Lin Xiaoqi had said that none of that existed.
Novels really were all lies.
Fine, he could only honestly rely on self-abuse to level up and practice his cultivation.
A man sometimes had to be a little cruel to himself.
"Whew!" After recovering from his cultivation state, Lu Yibai's hair had been completely soaked through with sweat.
But without a doubt, there were more tiny points of light inside his body, and his physical constitution seemed to have improved a little as well.
According to Lin Xiaoqi, once the tiny points of light in his body could gather into a mass the size of a fingernail, he would more or less be a level-one Night Watchman.
Looking at the sparse points of light inside his body, Lu Yibai sighed.
I still have to keep working hard, kid!
I'll carry "Menstrual Pain" through to the end every day!
