A few days later.
Ye Yu stood inside the main hall of Liangxin District and saw the seventeen female demons rumored to resemble the painting.
Just a quick glance,
Ye Yu immediately realized Luo Ning was not among them.
And an endless fury welled up in his heart.
He restrained his anger and waved to summon Feng Zhenxin.
“Tell me, who screened these female demons?”
“It was done by a supervisor named Zhushang Jun. What’s wrong? Is there...”
Feng Zhenxin was about to ask what the problem was,
But after seeing the seventeen female demons, he swallowed his unfinished words.
He then grabbed a communication stone and shouted angrily, “Zhushang Jun, you bastard, get over here right now!”
Honestly, Ye Yu was not unfamiliar with Zhushang Jun.
Back in the dream, he was the one who took Ye Yu to Ban’an Sea.
If not for him, Ye Yu wouldn’t have so coincidentally met Luo Ning again.
So Ye Yu took several deep breaths, trying hard to calm himself.
After all, it was normal for subordinates to make mistakes.
As long as mistakes could be corrected, it was not a crime punishable by death.
After over ten breaths of mental adjustment, Ye Yu had calmed down.
But when his peripheral vision swept over the seventeen female demons,
The extinguished fire in his heart flared up fiercely again.
Damn!
Soon, a tall and thin man rolled into the hall.
Stopping right in front of Ye Yu and Feng Zhenxin.
This was Feng Zhenxin, the Liangxin District supervisor.
“Senior, master of the district, I don’t know why you called me here. Is there something wrong?”
Considering the time passed, Ye Yu had stayed long enough at Liangxin District.
Naturally, the people here were not unfamiliar with him.
They also knew that this handsome-looking man actually held a position above master Feng Zhenxin.
So when speaking, he greeted Ye Yu first.
But as merely a supervisor, this was his first time dealing with Ye Yu, so he was very nervous.
Not understanding why Feng Zhenxin was so furious.
Feeling eyes on his back, he instinctively scanned around with his spiritual sense.
What he saw made him collapse to the ground.
Seeing this, Feng Zhenxin coldly barked, “What? Scared too? You are the main person responsible for this screening. I want to ask you, what exactly is going on?
Is there any female demon here that matches the painting?”
After speaking, Feng Zhenxin took out the reward painting from his storage ring and placed it in front of Zhushang Jun.
The latter, after looking at it, summoned courage and glanced back.
Folks, who can understand? The sky is falling!
When Zhushang Jun saw these seventeen female demons, his desire to kill them on the spot grew stronger.
This was no joke, but the truth.
These seventeen females... no, calling them female demons would insult the term.
They should be called rotten eggplants.
Either they looked like a traffic accident scene or were as fat as the Zhenhai Stone.
Truly an unparalleled spectacle.
At this moment, Zhushang Jun wished for death.
Yes, he was responsible for this screening.
But this batch of rotten eggplants was his first time seeing!
This was no joke, truly.
As an old-timer who had worked at Liangxin District for hundreds of years, Zhushang Jun knew well how to maximize benefits from a situation.
Taking a painting and casting a net to find someone throughout the demon realm was an extremely difficult task.
And with a bounty as high as eight million demon stones, there would definitely be opportunists.
So why couldn’t he take the chance to pocket some demon stones too?
Thus, he had his trusted aides arrange things: any female demon wanting to come to Liangxin District could openly bid.
The first seventeen female demons were sold at two thousand demon stones per seat.
Hey, don’t complain about the price.
The big boss who spent eight million demon stones to find someone — even if he didn’t find the ideal one, if he took a fancy to any of you, that would be your fortune.
From then on, no worries about food or clothing, completely turned into a nouveau riche. And if sadness comes in the future, you could cry lying in piles of demon stones — such a beautiful picture.
Two thousand demon stones is not much.
After some persuasion, quite a few female demons signed up to try their luck.
The price was even pushed up to over three thousand seven hundred demon stones per person.
This wave alone earned Zhushang Jun more than sixty thousand demon stones, truly fulfilling his dream of getting rich.
What if someone says these seventeen female demons are not the ones in the painting?
Zhushang Jun said this was not a problem at all.
It was just about finding someone; it wasn’t like replacing ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) a batch would solve it.
As long as he could keep getting demon stones, he said “like” means like!
Having thought everything through, Zhushang Jun boldly planned the cost for introducing the next batch of female demons.
He completely ignored the first batch.
He thought that people willing to pay more than three thousand demon stones to try their luck wouldn’t be too ugly.
After all, there weren’t many ugly women in the demon realm.
But unexpectedly, now they had all gathered here.
Whether they looked like the painting or not was questionable, and even whether they were female demons had become ambiguous.
No choice, the resolution was too low!
If he had known this, Zhushang Jun would never have done this.
But now it was too late to say anything!
He couldn’t just admit that he took the demon stones, right?
So, after pondering, Zhushang Jun tremblingly took the reward painting and came to the seventeen female demons.
Shamelessly, he said, “Master of the district, lately my eyesight is bad, and things look blurry. So I thought this lady’s side profile looked more like the female demon in the painting. That’s why I brought her here.
And the second one is... ugh!”
Zhushang Jun vomited immediately.
No way, not only could he not stand to look, the second female demon also smelled foul.
Truly a sour experience.
Seeing this, Ye Yu frowned slightly and said coldly, “This is your supervisor? The female demons he screened couldn’t even stand themselves, yet he still sent them to me?”
Faced with this deadly question, Feng Zhenxin hung his head in shame.
“Master, it’s my fault. I will make sure he disappears from the Underworld completely!”
Ye Yu said nothing and turned to leave.
But halfway, he stopped.
No way, the angrier he got, the more furious he became.
“Let those seventeen female demons keep him company properly. His eyes are bad, right? Then give all these female demons to him. I want him... dead!”
Hearing Ye Yu’s words, Feng Zhenxin immediately agreed.
He waved to summon several demon guards and told them to follow Ye Yu’s orders strictly.
If Ye Yu said he wanted him... dead, then he must... die.
And it must be those seventeen female demons who personally do it.
The demon guards immediately agreed.
Zhushang Jun immediately knelt, weeping and begging Feng Zhenxin to spare him in consideration of his many years of hard work.
Even if he were to die, he absolutely would not let those seventeen female demons touch him.
Please!
Feng Zhenxin completely ignored his pleas and decisively left the hall,
Leaving Zhushang Jun plenty of room to imagine his fate.
Meanwhile,
Inside the Jian Demon City lord’s hall,
The Liangxin District reward painting was placed in the most conspicuous spot on the table.
A flawless white hand gently tapped the name signed: Ye Yu.
