I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Shen Youyao didn't loosen her grip on Gu Yan's hand; instead, she held it even tighter.

"It's okay, Gu Yan is fine with anything."

Gu Yan was stunned for a few seconds when she heard this.

Lin Yan's expression froze completely, and his lips twitched several times.

Why are all the women around this guy surnamed Gu so devoted to him?

He was so angry that his fingers were trembling, and he took a sudden step forward.

A silent, multicolored light shone deep within Gu Yan's pupils, and the Demon-Suppressing Blade was instantly drawn.

The blade was precisely positioned on Lin Yan's chest; an inch further and it would have pierced his skin.

He already disliked Lin Yan, and this bastard was still stalking him.

The surrounding tourists were so frightened that they all backed away, and several girls screamed.

The shop owners on the street quickly poked their heads out to see what was happening.

The commotion on Wutong Avenue quickly attracted the attention of the patrol and law enforcement department.

Three uniformed law enforcement officers quickly walked through the crowd of onlookers.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a badge of law enforcement captain pinned to his shoulder.

He was taken aback when he saw Gu Yan, and then his expression immediately changed.

The young law enforcement officer next to him hadn't figured out what was going on and was about to step forward to question him.

The enforcement captain grabbed his arm and whispered something.

"That's Gu Yan, the Imperial Jade. Show her some respect."

The young law enforcement officer's expression changed upon hearing this, and his gaze towards Lin Yan shifted from curiosity to wariness.

Lin Yan's face turned bright red as the blade pressed against his chest.

"Did you see that? He threatened me with a knife. I'm the victim."

"I'm standing up for him; he's deceiving women's feelings."

The enforcement captain stepped forward and showed Lin Yan his identification.

"Sir, we have received multiple reports that you have been staking out the Chen family's gate all night."

"You are suspected of illegal stalking, invasion of privacy, and disturbing public order."

"In addition, the system shows that you are an Italian or Romanian citizen, and your entry permit has expired."

Lin Yan's face turned from red to purple.

The enforcement captain ignored him and turned to look at Gu Yan, his tone extremely respectful.

"Master Gu, are you alright?"

He had cursed Lin Yan eight hundred times in his heart.

If something were to happen to the Imperial Wall in his territory, his career would be completely ruined.

When Lin Yan heard the law enforcement captain address Gu Yan, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Are you all so biased towards this person, just because he is Gu Yan?"

"He's two-timing; he's the one who should be arrested."

The enforcement captain almost rolled his eyes on the spot.

The Imperial Wall is impartial; would it possibly favor a stowaway like you?

The surrounding crowd was also buzzing with discussion.

"Who is this guy? Why is he chasing after Master Gu like a mad dog?"

"Exactly, Master Gu just bought pastries for that girl. It was consensual, so what business is it of his?"

"Didn't you hear what the law enforcement officer said? He's an illegal immigrant; he's probably mentally unstable."

Lin Yan looked at the countless eyes staring at him.

As he looked at the raised phone cameras, his breathing became increasingly rapid.

He didn't understand why things weren't going smoothly for him after he returned to China.

He was clearly remorseful and genuinely wanted to reconcile with Cecilia.

He only made one mistake, so why is God treating him like this?

His fingers touched something cold in his pocket.

It was a worn-out, blackened copper lamp, an antique he had brought back from Italy.

He had heard that this thing could summon powerful beings, but at an extremely high price.

He has never used it because he knows that once he does, there's no going back.

But what does he have left to lose?

Lin Yan suddenly pulled out the bronze lamp and began to rub it vigorously.

The dense patterns on the surface of the copper lamp began to emit a dark red glow.

A chilling wave of air surged out of the copper lamp, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees Celsius instantly.

Someone in the crowd screamed in terror and began to back away frantically.

"What is that thing? My God, it's a calamity!"

"Someone is summoning calamity in the city. Run! Call the police!"

The shop owner on the street was so frightened that he immediately pulled down his roller shutter.

The phones that the young people who were taking pictures just now all fell to the ground.

A crack appeared in the air, and a pair of enormous black claws emerged from it.

The claws were long and sharp, with a sticky black liquid dripping from their nails.

Then came the entire body; a three-meter-tall black demon stood before everyone.

Its skin resembles charred tree bark, covered with tiny, constantly wriggling cracks.

A dark red light shone through the crack, as if lava was flowing inside its body.

Its face has no facial features, only a large mouth that takes up the entire face.

The lips were grayish-black, and when they split open, they revealed a dense array of sharp teeth.

A foul stench emanated from it, like the smell of rotting meat mixed with sulfur.

When the sunlight shines on it, the air around it is distorted and deformed.

The enforcement captain was deathly pale, and his voice was trembling.

"This is the Lamp Demon, an A-rank calamity sealed away by Iro."

"How did it end up here? Wasn't this thing sealed away a long time ago?"

The young law enforcement officer next to him felt his legs go weak, his voice filled with barely suppressed fear.

"Captain, is this the legendary demon that grants wishes?"

The enforcement captain gritted his teeth, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

"This is it, three wishes, each of which requires sacrificing one's lifespan."

"The last person who summoned it made three wishes and immediately turned into a dried-up corpse."

The onlookers were terrified when they heard this.

"Lifespan? He still dares to use it? Doesn't he value his life?"

"Run! Stop looking! What if he makes a wish and drags us into it too?"

The crowd began to retreat desperately to a distance, but were unwilling to leave completely.

A few of the bolder ones even secretly took photos from a distance with their phones.

In the shadows, on the tallest sycamore tree, two figures silently landed on its thick branches.

They wore the Chen family's sacrificial robes, with gladiolus emblems embroidered on their cuffs.

An elderly man with white hair narrowed his eyes, his hand already resting on the weapon at his waist.

"The Lamp Demon of Yiluo is at least at the peak of A-rank. This kid has gone mad."

A middle-aged woman next to him frowned and spoke in a very low voice.

"Master Gu is still downstairs, when should we make our move?"

The white-haired old man shook his head, his eyes fixed on the situation below.

"Don't rush."

"I've already signaled to Butler Tian, ​​they'll be there soon."

"Our mission is to protect Master Gu. Be prepared."

The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth, and light began to flash on her palm.

"If Master Gu gets injured, how will we explain it to Miss?"

The white-haired old man pressed down on her arm, his face ashen.

"Wait, rushing down now will only cause trouble for Master Gu."
