Young Man, The Road Is Long

Wucheng, Answer Bar.

Ye Yiyi felt like she was living in a dream.

Originally, she was just a small Night Demon.

Although she had her own hobbies and grand ambitions, and also loved playing role-playing games, she was still just the most ordinary kind of demon.

In the world of demons, strength was ultimately paramount.

She was a queen on the bed, but a bronze in reality.

She had no status.

But now, things were different!

First, while role-playing, she was inexplicably picked up by a man who seemed to be a Night Watchman.

Alright, up to this point, she hadn't sensed any overly powerful aura from Lu Yibai.

Then, she encountered this terrifying woman whose figure was even more explosive than hers and who killed demons like it was nothing!

She never dreamed that she would actually walk into this legendary Night Watchman bar!

And from the current situation, it was very likely she would be settling down here long-term.

As mentioned before, Lu Yibai and Lin Xiaoqi both agreed that it was a waste to let Answer Bar lie dormant, and it could still open for business!

However, they both had missions to attend to, and wouldn't necessarily be at the bar during operating hours. The bar needed someone to be there, right?

So, after a discussion, Boss Lu and Lin Xiaoqi unanimously decided that this Night Demon, who looked easy to bully, was a good choice.

Firstly, Night Demons were nocturnal creatures that were active at night and couldn't stand the light.

Secondly, she was good-looking... at least her appearance was.

She spoke nicely, and she could even whimper!

Moreover, the Night Demon race was best at being accommodating and dealing with customers, which was easy for them.

The premise was not to get involved with customers!

Of course, this point was also easy to resolve.

Night Demons primarily needed Yang energy, which the Lion Umbrella could provide.

Ye Yiyi had already experienced the abundance of the Lion Umbrella, feeling like she was about to take flight. Compared to the meager Yang energy from other men... she scoffed!

"Once you've seen the sea, other waters are hard to consider; without Mount Wu, other clouds are not worth looking at."

She was no longer impressed!

Anyway, the bar didn't offer cocktail services for the time being, so customers could just pick their own drinks, and Ye Yiyi would be responsible for the waiter duties.

Of course, it was a probationary period for now; there was no reason to trust her so quickly.

Ye Yiyi, as a Night Demon with ideals and ambitions, never expected to latch onto the ship of the Night Watchman Bar one day.

Although she wasn't officially employed by the Night Watchmen, she at least had a backer now!

Lin Xiaoqi sat beside Ye Yiyi and gently patted her head like an older sister, saying, "We're family from now on!"

Of course, she didn't forget to add, "I'll cover for you from now on!"

Wow! The warmth of home! The warmth from a powerful older sister!

She felt like crying!

Ye Yiyi, as a Night Demon who drifted from place to place, actually longed for a home of her own.

"Sister Xiaoqi, Boss, thank you. I've always longed for this feeling of home. I'm always running around, always wishing someone would wait for me at home, someone who cares about me..."

Lu Yibai was stunned and asked curiously, "You long for someone to wait for you at home, someone who cares about you... Then why don't you deliver food? There are plenty of people waiting for you at home, people who care about you."

Ye Yiyi: "..."

This new boss's thought process was sometimes really strange.

Lin Xiaoqi also timely handed her a tissue and said, "Alright, don't get too emotional. I was just being polite."

That stung.

It was almost four in the morning now, and the sky would be bright soon.

Ye Yiyi found it inconvenient to go out during the day. Sunlight would be very torturous for her, like roasting her on a fiery rack.

So, after confirming she would settle down at Answer Bar, she quickly went out to buy some daily necessities from the 24-hour convenience store.

After Ye Yiyi left, Lu Yibai said to Lin Xiaoqi, "What's the deal with that Lion Umbrella?"

It wasn't that he was deliberately wary of Ye Yiyi, but it was better to be cautious.

Lin Xiaoqi sat cross-legged on the sofa, her shapely, long legs crossed. This woman definitely had legs worth admiring for a lifetime.

She glanced at Lu Yibai and said, "Boss, you can think of these four black umbrellas as magical artifacts or something."

After defining the four large black umbrellas, she continued, "Boss, as you know, our lineage primarily focuses on body refining. Our physiques are indeed very strong, but compared to other Night Watchmen, we lack a few special abilities."

"For example, some Night Watchmen's attacks come with lightning effects, which our lineage doesn't possess."

"These four large black umbrellas can compensate for this deficiency."

Lu Yibai nodded, understanding the general idea.

It was like equipment in a game that added stats.

"Boss, I haven't used the Lion Umbrella either. I always use my own specialized one, so you can study it slowly in the future."

"And my suggestion is, since you've already chosen the Lion Umbrella, you shouldn't use the Skull Umbrella anymore."

"Why? Is that umbrella somehow sinister?" Lu Yibai asked curiously.

"No, the two umbrellas follow different paths. Trying to master too many things at once will lead to failure, just like what they write in novels!"

Using web novels as an example, it truly had no convincing power.

However, Lu Yibai couldn't be bothered to think too much about it. Lin Xiaoqi was temporarily his guide, and she wouldn't harm him.

The urgent matter was to improve his own strength.

With the energy in his body currently, he couldn't even activate the Lion Umbrella. At most, he could leak a bit of Yang energy for Ye Yiyi to absorb.

It was quite shameful.

Before dawn, Ye Yiyi returned with bags and packages. She entered her room and covered it completely, ensuring not a single ray of sunlight could get in.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoqi, yawning, walked into her room with her long, slender legs.

Before entering, she didn't forget to wave and say, "Good morning, Boss!"

While others say goodnight before sleeping, saying good morning felt a bit strange.

As for Lu Yibai, he returned to his room to cultivate as usual.

His recent cultivation had become even more painful than before.

This damned cultivation technique was truly torturous!

If cultivation was primarily based on pain, they should just name this scripture "Menstrual Pain," right?

Perhaps it was more suited for masochists.

Lu Yibai had also asked Lin Xiaoqi if, like in novels, he could take some pills or take a medicinal bath to aid his cultivation. Lin Xiaoqi said that wasn't possible.

Novels really were full of lies.

Alright, he could only honestly rely on self-abuse to level up and train.

Men, sometimes, had to be tough on themselves.

"Hoo!" After recovering from his cultivation state, Lu Yibai's hair tie was soaked with sweat.

But undoubtedly, there were more small light points within him, and his physical fitness seemed to have improved slightly.

According to Lin Xiaoqi, once the small light points in his body could gather to the size of a fingernail, he would be approximately a Level 1 Night Watchman.

Looking at the sparse light points within him, Lu Yibai sighed.

He still had to work hard, young man!

Continue the daily "menstrual pain" to the end!
