Six hundred years ago.
Demon Domain, at the edge of the Endless Great Forest.
Inside a small Goblin settlement.
The shack that should have belonged to the Goblin elder had now been occupied by the archdemon Li Yun.
Since he might be staying in the settlement for some time, Lu Li carried out a necessary cleanup.
Not only to make his temporary residence spacious and comfortable, but also to eliminate any potential threats.
Who knew whether Grom had planted mechanisms or traps inside his residence?
To avoid being ambushed while his guard was down, Lu Li simply gave the place a thorough cleaning.
Of the items displayed inside, he kept only a few that were barely usable.
Everything else was tossed out as trash.
After all, Lu Li truly had no use for things that were, at best, only Fine Quality.
He might as well let the Goblins have them.
They had been the "ill-gotten gains" Grom had extorted from them in the first place.
Little did he know, that this "unintentional" gesture of Lu Li's greatly boosted his favorability among the Goblins.
These low-ranking monsters rarely even had the chance to meet an archdemon, let alone become one's followers.
Even after coming under an archdemon's rule, their standard of living would not improve much.
At most, they would simply get a different master to exploit them.
But this archdemon named Li Yun was completely different.
Not only had he helped them get rid of Elder Grom, the parasite among the Goblins, but after moving into his shack, he had even thrown all the valuable items inside out for them to share.
If not for the unmistakable demonic aura emanating from Li Yun, the Goblins might have suspected that he was an undercover agent sent by the sacred side!
