"Bullshit! Since the three of us washed our hands of the underworld, when have we ever gone looking for trouble in it? And when have we ever committed every evil under the sun?!"
Blood Demon grew agitated. "The ones committing every evil under the sun are the people posting and accepting missions on the website. We're just administrators. We don't judge right and wrong or get entangled in karma... can't you use your fucking brain before you speak!"
"If His Majesty the Heavenly King happened to hear that we're still committing every evil under the sun..."
Blade Demon's face was pale. "We'll have to watch our words and deeds from now on, Third Brother. Remember, people's words are fearsome. We're part of the establishment now..."
Sword Demon nodded repeatedly, taking the lesson to heart.
At the same time, his eyes shone.
Part of the establishment!
Why did hearing those words make my whole body tingle...?
"After a while, I'm going home to pay my respects to my ancestors."
Blood Demon's face glowed. "As long as we work hard, we can now earn honors for our wives and children and bring glory to our ancestors. It'll never be like before, when people asked what we did for a living. We couldn't exactly say we were working as demons... there was nothing we could say. Not anymore! When I go back, I'm going to brag my head off... I'm buying a whole trainload of firecrackers to set off back home!"
"Us too! We'll go back! Honor our ancestors!"
"Go back and brag our heads off!"
"Same here!"
"Mm."
Blood Demon earnestly instructed them, "When you go back, remember to be approachable. But you can't expose your real identities. Even if you reveal your identities as demons, you mustn't reveal your current identities.
