Knocking on the Door

Chapter 50 - Knock Knock

The battle at Qingliang Temple not only attracted many viewers to the live stream but also drew people from the surrounding area to watch the excitement.

If not for the Special Duty team, who were arranged to be there with new equipment to keep order, the entire Qingliang Temple, inside and out, would have been packed beyond capacity right from the start.

Because a potential mass incident was averted in time, Officer Old Zhang, who had requested the reinforcements, even received praise from his superiors. This was an unexpected bonus.

As soon as the matter at Qingliang Temple was settled, Li Bai received a call from the old police officer. He was eager to arrange a fun outing after the special task force wrapped up the Yao Family smuggling case, so everyone could have a good time together.

Just as he hung up with Old Zhang, Officer Xiao Wang's call came through. Although he spoke vaguely, his meaning was clear: the next time there was an opportunity to earn merit like this, don't forget him.

For Old Zhang, such a contribution might at best earn him a verbal commendation from his superior. However, for Xiao Wang, who was in his third year as a police officer, it was a significant step towards promotion.

In the public service, seniority wasn't determined by age but by tangible achievements.

Li Bai thought about it. His talent for causing trouble was considerable, and there would be many such opportunities in the future, so he readily agreed.

For a junior officer like Xiao Wang, who needed to diligently build his resume, someone like Li Bai—who offended the Yao Family one moment and then clashed with Qingliang Temple the next, and could even send people to the hospital for no reason—was like encountering the best possible path to promotion. As long as they kept a close eye on him and followed up to clean up the mess, merits would come one after another.

Superiors loved subordinates who could get things done, especially big things. At the very least, they would have topics to brag about, and their work summaries and reports wouldn't be empty and dull.

Upon returning home, Li Bai saw two takeout boxes and two bowls of soup left on the dining table. Looking in the trash can, it was stuffed to the brim with empty containers.

Did the Demoness order takeout?

The Great Demon was utterly bewildered.

He wasn't confused by the Demoness being too lazy to cook and just ordering food. He was confused about how the delivery driver managed to get the food to her.

"Qingyao, you didn't eat anyone, did you?"

The Green Flood Dragon, noticeably thicker, lay sprawled on the sofa, lazily watching TV. Teletubbies was playing on the screen. She wasn't picky and watched whatever was on.

Li Bai was worried that Qingyao, the Demoness, might have swallowed the delivery driver whole.

This Demoness was wild and had a history of eating people.

The Demoness, clearly full, didn't even bother to move. She said sarcastically, "Are humans tasty as takeout?"

With eight portions of takeout to calm her nerves, her stomach was completely full, and a foodie's sense of happiness washed over her.

"Where is he? Did you see him?"

After unexpectedly running into Yao Bing, who had hit someone with his car and killed them, Li Bai had forbidden the Demoness from interacting with strangers to avoid exposing their whereabouts and harming innocent people.

"He fell under my pupil technique and left!"

The Demoness wouldn't consider so many things. Her specialty was living off others and doing nothing. She always pushed brainy tasks onto Li Bai.

"..."

Others might not know how powerful this Demon King was, but Li Bai knew very well. The delivery driver was likely no better off than Yao Bing, wishing he were dead.

"Hurry up and find him and undo his pupil technique."

Although Li Bai was known as a Demon, he had killed many people in the other world, but most of them were not good people.

He never easily harmed ordinary people or innocents, nor did he allow the demon race, whom he had enlightened with his essence, to act recklessly. This was essentially an unwritten rule.

"How could a mere mortal be worth wasting my talent and divine abilities on? Except for the memories of opening and closing the door, he's completely unharmed."

The Demoness remained lazy. Although she was also a troublemaker, she rarely crossed Li Bai's bottom line.

As for the unlucky Yao Bing, that was purely an accident. Besides, Li Bai had no intention of having the Demoness undo the "Spiritual Eye Illusion." He deserved it anyway. For someone who disregarded human life, wishing he were dead was the best punishment.

"Are you sure?"

Li Bai still found it hard to believe.

"Sure!"

The Green Flood Dragon rolled over on the sofa. Undoubtedly, she wouldn't waste her cultivation on an ordinary person. Cultivation was difficult in this world, so she naturally saved it whenever possible.

In fact, after wandering outside door 1901 in a daze for two minutes, the delivery driver finally came to his senses. He shook his head and continued delivering food to other customers, completely forgetting about this order.

Even if he checked his phone later, he probably wouldn't remember it. After all, he delivered dozens of orders a day; how could he remember them all clearly?

Knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

The man and the demon exchanged glances, both thinking of the unlucky delivery driver.

Li Bai opened the door and was surprised to see a charming, smiling face. She had changed her clothes, and the ancient beauty had transformed back into a modern urban lady.

"How did you find this place?"

He had never told this beautiful streamer his address, yet he never expected her to find it herself.

"Your place looks pretty good. I have fans who are students at the gym downstairs, so it was easy to find out where you live."

Goddess Yan looked around the room behind Li Bai. Acting familiar, she tapped her heels and walked in barefoot.

The TV, which the Demoness had forgotten to turn off, was still showing Teletubbies. Dong Keyan was slightly surprised, not expecting this young psychiatrist to like watching that.

"Is something wrong?"

Li Bai quickly grabbed the remote and turned off the TV as if nothing had happened.

"Do you know how much money I made this morning?"

Dong Keyan turned around, tilted her chin up, waved her fingers, and her face was full of pride.

"I don't know!"

Facing the internet celebrity host who earned a hundred thousand a month, Li Bai didn't want to suffer tons of psychological damage for no reason.

"It's this much!"

As if seeking revenge, Goddess Yan raised her index finger.

"One hundred million?"

Li Bai could roughly guess that the other party had earned a lot, otherwise, she wouldn't have come here to show off so eagerly.

Alright! Let this girl be proud for a while.

"Where is it one hundred million!"

Dong Keyan was choked with anger. If she could earn a hundred million a month, why would she be an internet celebrity host? She would buy a German castle, be a cute princess, and wait for a prince to marry her.

If Li Bai knew the thoughts of this beautiful host, he would definitely pick up his mobile phone to order from the evil dragon, and have the delivery guy pack her up and send her to the dragon's lair.

"One hundred? Or a thousand?"

Li Bai wouldn't foolishly play along with her and deliberately mess with her.

"..."

Host Dong stared with wide eyes, glaring fiercely at Great Demon Li. Did this guy have a grudge against her? One hundred million, then one hundred or a thousand, could they still play together properly?

"Hehe, I'm just a small Psychiatrist, how would I know how much you can earn."

Li Bai spread his hands and chuckled.

Let her be arrogant, I'll give her a blow first.

"Two million! I earned two million this morning. After the split, I'll get one million."

Dong Keyan finally seized the opportunity to proudly show off. After this battle, she would be a big streamer with over 500,000 fans.

Alright, this girl just came to show off.

"So much money!"

Li Bai's expression and tone were equally indifferent.

"Why don't you have any reaction?"

Dong Keyan found that her joy was impossible to share.

Li Bai was, after all, a man who had seen the world. Did the Lord of the Heavenly Palace in another world lack money? The Empress's treasury was full of gold and silver mountains that he could use freely. A mere few million was not enough to move him.

"Yes! Congratulations on getting rich."

The stingy Great Demon Li finally bestowed a smile.

Dong Keyan took out a bank card and said, "Half of this is in here, so you have to treat me to a meal."

After successfully gaining fans, she clearly understood how this achievement came about.

Li Bai finally understood Dong Keyan's intention, smiled, and shook his head, saying, "This is your hard-earned money, keep it for yourself. However, I can treat you to takeout."

There were two takeout meals on the table, one for each of them. They were still warm, and only needed to be heated in the microwave for half a minute.

"Let's cooperate. In just half a year, we can immigrate to Germany and settle down, and then we can bring your parents over."

Just like Officer Xiao Wang waiting for Li Bai to bring him a promotion opportunity, the beautiful host also noticed his terrifying ability to attract money.

An income of one million in one morning was something no one could resist. Even if half was given to Li Bai, the remaining 500,000 still completely surpassed Dong Keyan's past income from live streaming, it was simply no different from robbing money.

Although Li Bai had rejected Dong Keyan before, this beautiful host had not forgotten him. Especially after witnessing the Psychiatrist's Hypnosis battle against the con artist Taoist's magic, she realized that he was a perfect match for her live streaming program.

Life and career fitting together like this was not common.

"No, I'm still more suited to staying in my home country!"

Although the Demoness's cultivation was very expensive, Li Bai had never thought of selling himself for money. A gentleman loves wealth but obtains it righteously. Naturally, he refused the host who coveted his beauty once again.

Germany's philosophical research led the world, and it was the birthplace of modern experimental psychology. Great minds gathered there, and hidden talents were numerous. Li Bai feared that he might not be able to defeat those tall and strong carnivorous animals, unlike the weaklings in China who were easier to bully.
