Chapter 669: If You Act Rashly, You Will Fall Out Of Favor!
"By the way, you should know the preferences of the Demon Slayer. When the time comes, be sure not to show any disrespect towards them," Yu Shu warned sternly.
"Great!"
Yue Yan's face lit up with joy.
For her, besides the tasks assigned by her master, nothing else mattered.
It was just a matter of paying attention to her attitude, not a big deal.
Moreover, the preferences of the Demon Slayer were not that hard to accept.
As for what the preferences of the Demon Slayer were...
Many people subconsciously think that Abyss creatures are demons.
But the true Endless Abyss is not like that.
While most creatures in the Abyss are indeed demons, demons have never dominated the discourse of the Endless Abyss.
The closer one gets to the bottom of the Abyss, the fewer realms belong to the original demons.
There are many demon god clans that are somewhat related to demons, falling under the broad category of demons.
It is said that before endless ages, they belonged to a branch of original demons, but now the gap between them and the original demons is greater than that between humans and single-celled organisms.
This has led many realms at the bottom of the Abyss to view the original demons as inferior beings.
If someone mistakenly identifies them as demons, the consequences would surely be severe.
Imagine a person walking down the street and suddenly someone solemnly calls them a monkey or an ape, what would their reaction be?
But the Demon Slayer is an exception.
They enjoy disguising themselves as demons, mingling with the upper realms of the Endless Abyss and even the surface of the Abyss, forming close ties with the original demons.
Many residents at the bottom of the Abyss know that if you suddenly see an original demon at the bottom, you must not rashly provoke them, as a powerful being may emerge from under the demon's skin that even your parents cannot afford to offend.
In fact, it cannot be said to be deliberate deception.
The true form of the Demon Slayer is a plant life, a very large vine.
After transformation, as long as no modifications are made, they will take on the form of an original demon, even their aura is identical.
This can be considered a kind of instinct of the group.
The Demon Slayers are a very large group.
Unlike other nobles of the Abyss, when Demon Slayers are newly born, they are very weak.
They feed on demons and gradually grow stronger.
Disguising themselves as prey for hunting or self-preservation is undoubtedly the most efficient and safe way.
Until now, most Demon Slayers are also born on the surface of the Abyss.
Only when their strength reaches a certain level can they, guided by inherited memories, return to the Rift.
Of course, the appearance of the Demon Slayers is far less bizarre than that of the original demons on the surface.
Most of them look like small humanoid demons that appear weak and harmless, with succubi forms dominating the majority.
Yue Yan did not have to wait long before the servant dispatched by the Demon Slayer arrived.
Apparently, the Demon Slayer valued the insignia of the Great Will no less than the Jade Angel.
Lord Yu Shu promptly arranged for Yue Yan to meet the envoy of the Demon Slayer.
The envoy dispatched by the Demon Slayer was a succubus with a full figure and a seductive posture.
In the jade and holy atmosphere of the Emerald Realm, she appeared out of place.
Without beating around the bush, the Demon Slayer asked, "I have seen the list of material requirements you provided."
"Some of the materials, although precious, are basically useless scraps to the outside world."
"Moreover, the composition of the materials is quite interesting."
"I would like to know, what are these materials used for?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know," Yue Yan shook her head, "My master only ordered me to collect these things, and as for their purpose, it's not for me to inquire about."
"I have already learned about your background from Lord Yu Shu," the Demon Slayer said, "We are willing to provide those things to that person free of charge."
"However, we hope to have the opportunity to meet with that person."
"Could you please help convey this message?"
"This..." Yue Yan hesitated.
She didn't know how to explain this to her master.
Would her master be displeased with her for not handling even this small matter well?
Her concerns were not unfounded.
Before leaving, she already felt that her master was somewhat dissatisfied with her abilities.
The Demon Slayer seemed to sense Yue Yan's worries and said, "You may have misunderstood."
"What I mean is, I can provide the materials you need."
"It's like we're helping you complete the task given to you by that person."
"But in return, you need to find an opportunity to express our desire to meet that person."
"Whether that person agrees or not, it has nothing to do with you."
"Sure!" Yue Yan agreed without hesitation.
Expressing the desire to meet, and making it a condition for exchanging materials for a meeting, were two different concepts.
In the former case, her task was perfectly completed, just speaking on behalf of the Demon Slayer.
While in the latter case, she was unable to complete the task and needed Chen Yu to intervene.
Expressing the desire to meet on behalf of the Demon Slayer was not a big deal.
Although she had no say in the matter, and dared not seek favor like other women.
But most of the time, she accompanied Chen Yu and had some understanding of Chen Yu's character.
In normal circumstances, Chen Yu was a relatively calm person, not one to criticize subordinates at will, and more willing to listen to opinions.
"Thank you," the Demon Slayer smiled.
She took out a palm-sized square crystal box and handed it to Yue Yan.
"This is the material you need. I have prepared a hundred times the amount according to your requirements, which should be sufficient."
"Additionally—" The Demon Slayer took out another slightly smaller crystal box and handed it to Yue Yan.
"Inside are some demon essences."
"They are of little use to us, so consider it a token of my gratitude to you."
"If things progress, please be sure to contact me at the earliest opportunity."
Yue Yan held the crystal box in a daze, before she could react, the Demon Slayer had already disappeared.
"Girl, snap out of it, she's gone," Lord Yu Shu patted Yue Yan's shoulder.
Yue Yan came to her senses, opened the crystal box containing the materials, and checked the contents inside.
As the Demon Slayer had said, all the materials inside were prepared in full accordance with the list, a hundredfold.
Then, she opened the other box.
In that instant, a vast energy swept through, and an endless aura of laws surged like a Flood Dragon heading to the sea, soaring into the sky.
"Snap—"
Yu Shu gently reached out and closed the crystal box, causing the boundless vision to disappear.
Then, Yu Shu spoke with a solemn tone:
"Girl, don't be so impulsive in the future when you're outside."
"Not every place is the Endless Abyss, nor is every place the Emerald Realm."
"What you did could bring about fatal consequences!"
"Of course, as long as you stay by your master's side, you shouldn't fear anything."
"But being reckless all the time can easily lead to falling out of favor!"
