Chapter 629 The Philistine Abyss Demon Lord
Upon seeing Chen Yu, Lord Kelan, the Blue Demon, first paused for a moment, then trotted over to Chen Yu with a spring in his step.
Nodding and bowing, with a smile on his face, he asked, "My lord, what can I do for you?"
"No matter what orders you have, I will do my best to fulfill them!"
His demeanor was like that of a fawning shop assistant, asking a distinguished guest if they wanted a meal or a place to stay.
Chen Yu looked up and down at this half-god demon.
He felt that this demon half-god not only lacked the dignity and nobility expected of a half-god but instead exuded a sense of vulgarity in every way.
"You, a dignified Abyss Lord, why aren't you staying put in the endless Abyss? Why come here to have a duel with a mere Rank Six swordsman? And engaging in such back-and-forth combat?" Chen Yu asked with a smile on his face.
At this point, he also realized that Lord Kelan was not a demon with particularly strong destructive desires.
Hidden in the Eastern Capital City, although it had its own ideas and purposes, it would not cause any major disturbances or destruction.
In fact, the Painful Demon God lineage did not have much destructive power.
Throughout the history of the Blue Star, the biggest action caused by the Painful Demon Gods was surprisingly when a clone of a demon god descended into the examination hall during Chen Yu's Soaring Dragon Empire entrance exam, a result guided by Chen Yu acting as a mole.
"My lord, my lord, you don't know how tough it is on the surface of the Abyss!" Lord Kelan cried out with tears in his eyes.
"Not only is the environment barren with scarce resources, but there are savages everywhere, ready to fight at the drop of a hat."
"My frail body can't withstand such storms and turmoil!"
"The human world is much better, bustling, rich in resources, and making money is faster than robbing!"
"You're here in Eastern Capital City for a duel, fighting a mere Rank Six professional, just to make some money? Are you kidding me?" Chen Yu stared.
"My lord, my lord, I swear, everything I said is true, absolutely no falsehood!" Lord Kelan sweated profusely behind his back.
He knelt with a thud, repeatedly kowtowing to Chen Yu.
"Nonsense!" Chen Yu scolded, "As a dignified half-god, what use do a few coins have for you?"
Lord Kelan fell silent immediately.
After a while, seeing that Chen Yu didn't seem to be truly angry, he cautiously continued,
"My lord, money in this human world is very useful, almost anything can be bought with it."
"Although the daily earnings converted into resources may not have much impact, there is an ancient saying in the Soaring Dragon Empire that goes, 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.' In the long run, small gains can add up!"
"Besides this arena, I have other industries, combined they amount to some savings that can come in handy."
"Hmm? Is this arena your industry?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, yes, my lord," Lord Kelan answered nervously.
"I see." Chen Yu nodded, "No wonder you personally participate in deceiving people."
"Wait, even if this arena is your business, as a half-god, isn't it shameful for you to do such things? Aren't you afraid of criticism from your peers?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Kelan's face blossomed into a smile again. He lightly patted his face and said, "My lord, I assure you, my worthless face is not worth much. If someone criticizes, let them talk."
"Making money is what matters, not losing face."
"Well, actually, I personally participate just for fun, no other intentions."
"You... alright." Chen Yu nodded, speechless, unsure how to describe this demon.
During the era of the Little Saintess, highly intelligent demons within the Abyss were rare, with most being keen on bloody slaughter and attacking each other.
Starting a war at the drop of a hat, fighting to the death without mercy, was quite common.
Now, in the vast and developed Abyss, demons with such psychotic personalities were rare.
But all sorts of eccentric demons kept emerging one after another.
"Well, this is fine." Chen Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
The current situation was much better than an environment where every step could lead to stepping on fresh blood and severed limbs.
"Besides this arena, what other industries do you have?" Chen Yu curiously asked.
"Besides this arena, I have some assets in other industries..."
Facing Chen Yu, Lord Kelan did not dare to hide anything, disclosing all the industries he had designed in detail.
In the Eastern Capital City, Lord Kelan had a presence in many industries.
In certain material industries, due to his status, Lord Kelan could always obtain some rare treasures.
Among many business giants, he stood out and even without using the identity of a half-god, he could dominate.
In the surrounding areas of the Eastern Capital City, Lord Kelan's industries wielded significant influence.
"My lord, you called me here, is there anything else you'd like to instruct me on?"
After speaking, Lord Kelan asked with a flattering smile.
"Don't be nervous," Chen Yu said, "I won't make things difficult for you."
"If you choose to do business in the human world, then do it well, and don't cause any trouble in the future."
"There shouldn't be many demons like you on the surface of the Abyss."
"Understood, my lord!" Lord Kelan's face lit up.
"By the way, my lord, with your gracious presence here, allowing my humble industry to shine, I should reciprocate and prepare a feast to welcome and honor you. What do you think?"
In Lord Kelan's mind, Chen Yu was definitely a high branch.
Most importantly, Chen Yu harbored no ill will towards him.
If he could establish a connection, he would definitely benefit greatly in the future.
"No need for a feast." Chen Yu waved his hand, "I don't like such formalities."
"Oh, by the way, there might be something I need you to do in the future, but not now."
Chen Yu had his subordinates bring Lord Kelan over, firstly finding him amusing for a half-god shamelessly engaging in fake matches with a Rank Six swordsman.
Secondly, to observe and mark him, to see if he posed any potential threat.
The results were quite satisfactory.
Apart from being a demon by race, he was no different from a vulgar human half-god.
However, upon learning that Lord Kelan had many industries in the Eastern Capital City, Chen Yu felt that he might have a use for him.
When the Little Saintess came to take over as the President of the Professional Association in Eastern Capital City, one of the purposes was to investigate the cause of the previous president's death.
Lord Kelan had strong personal strength and a vast commercial network, making him very well-informed.
If Yun Chenyu's investigation yielded no results, Chen Yu could have Lord Kelan look into it, perhaps leading to unexpected gains.
To silently kill a Rank Nine powerhouse within the territory of the Soaring Dragon Empire, especially one who was the President of the Professional Association in Eastern Capital City, one of the two capitals, was simply impossible to imagine.
