The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

The borders of the demon race are frequently plagued by disasters, but these disasters also bring new underground resources, which presents both risks and opportunities for the demon race.

Hou Cang glanced around and said, "This place is close to the border of the Demon Realm, and there are frequent earthquakes."

Lin Du seemed to be thinking, "I see."

Yue Han looked at Hou Cang in shock, "How did you know?"

Hou Cang didn't look at him, but simply stroked the hilt of his sword.

He was very familiar with the borders of the demon realm. The demon realm was mountainous, making escape difficult. However, his group of servants would be taken to the mountains to learn to run like beasts and be chased and torn apart by unintelligent demon beasts. At that time, he often thought that if an earthquake came, it would be great if it could just bury him underground.

The next reincarnation will never be worse than this one.

After landing in the demon realm, the group stopped using the spirit boat and instead flew directly, searching for scattered demons and rescuing some beasts that couldn't escape in time.

On the way, on the third day after the disaster, they unexpectedly came across a charity near the border of Zhongzhou.

There was another familiar face in the charity hall: Hu You, who had been released by the Supreme Sect.

He was still wearing a luxurious brocade robe, not the narrow-sleeved robe that people usually wear. So the wide sleeves were ripped and frayed, with obvious rough edges. He didn't need the magic artifact to conceal his aura. He was clearly swinging a gray tail with several frightened birds hanging on it. The grass stuck haphazardly around the tail had turned it into a bird's nest.

Fox You was trying to fool a powerful demon, "Look at these little demons, they're not even enough to fill your teeth. You can take these capable ones with you. Just give them a meal and a place to live. They'll live right next to your territory, not right next to you. They can even back you up when it matters. You'll have a team of subordinates then. How impressive is that?"

The great demons have a strong sense of territory and control the best areas. These displaced lesser demons dare not go to the great demons' territory and can only migrate thousands of miles away. Most of them die on the way.

"Don't be so skeptical. Which human family doesn't have servants, right?" Foxy chattered on. "Try it for a while and see."

Lin Du watched from afar as Hu You used the same persuasive skills she had used in the Flower Jade Pavilion to win over the demon with her eloquent words.

Hou Cang didn't understand why Lin Du had a smile on her face. The smile was faint, unlike her usual smile. It was a faint, heartfelt smile, without the slightest hint of contempt or coldness.

Because of that fat fox?

"Junior Uncle, that person seems to be someone we know. Should we go over?" Ni Jinxuan asked.

Lin Du shook his head. "We won't go over there. Yue Han, you go over and talk to him."

Yue Han looked bewildered. "I don't know him."

"Now you know him." Lin Duchong raised his chin. "Just pretend you heard me mention him. Reveal your identity. If he also wants to give you a demon, just see if your Peacock Clan needs any handymen. If not, just say you still need to meet up with me. He definitely can't hold you back."

Yue Han actually went, and Hu You, taking advantage of the young master of the demon clan, straightened her back even more.

Although it was the usual obsequious and ingratiating smile, it seemed to become especially warm when he turned to look at the messy, abandoned little demons huddled together.

Lin Du crossed his arms and watched for a while, then turned and smiled. "Look, Fusifang has fallen. So many people say that our Supreme Sect can't tolerate any injustices, and how pitiful it is that the people from the Fusifang branches have been scattered. But I see that these people with divine imprints on their bodies are no longer afraid."

There's no need to worry about your whereabouts being known by your superiors, and no need to fear being questioned about everything you do.

The price of freedom is certainly high; it may be the loss of wealth, job, and home.

But there will always be people in this world who yearn for freedom.

Before saying goodbye, Yue Han noticed Hu You's torn sleeves; the fabric clearly indicated it had once been made of expensive material. She couldn't help but ask, "Has your family fallen on hard times? I see your sleeves are all torn. If you need anything..."

Fox smiled and shook his head. A pink nose and squished little canine teeth peeked out from the tear in the wide sleeve. It was a little raccoon.

"Godfather, are you poor? When I grow up, I'll earn money to support you in your old age."

"Godfather isn't poor, he's very rich, don't be afraid," Fox said, carrying Little Fox to the back.

Yue Han was bewildered, yet seemed to vaguely understand something.

Lin Du turned around with the children and said, "Let's go."

Hou Cang asked curiously, "You arranged for a young master of the bird clan to help that fox gain influence, why didn't you go yourself? You're a Qian Yuan Realm cultivator now, who would dare not give you face?"

Lin Du glanced at him. "So you're quite adept at social interactions?"

Hou Cang: ...Never mind, he has to keep quiet.

They didn't make much noise in the demon realm, but news still got out along the way. The cultivators from the Supreme Sect came to the demon realm, including the youngest Qian Yuan Realm cultivator in the Dongming Realm, the Hou Cang Zhenren who once challenged all the powerful figures in the arena, the sword cultivator Mo Lin who never drew his sword when he was invincible in the Central Continent, his number one junior sister in the Central Continent, and the only disciple of the Living Judge.

So, in the past few days, Yue Han had been saying that the demon realm was so vast that you would hardly encounter any beasts, but later she started to encounter people quite often.

These people were divided into two groups, which Lin Du summarized as follows: one group came to seek death, and the other group came to seek survival.

Those who wanted to die immediately pointed at people and asked to fight; those who wanted to live immediately came to Xia Tianwu and begged for mercy.

This allowed the visiting cultivators from Central Plains to fully experience the abundant martial virtue of the demon race.

Unlike Lin Du and his group, who were excited about their first experience training in a foreign land, Hou Cang was extremely annoyed. Then another person came up and asked, "Who are you going to fight?"

"Hou Cang." The great demon was shocked by the direct attitude of the cultivators from Zhongzhou. Wasn't it said that they needed to issue challenges before fighting? How could it be so simple?

Hou Cang nodded and gave Lin Du a push. "It's her."

Lin Du: ? Is it appropriate to tell you the gender without even specifying it?

The great demon looked at Lin Du suspiciously. "Her aura isn't as strong as mine, is it? I'm almost at the highest Nascent Soul stage among demons."

Hou Cang nodded. "I know. If she hits you, you'll only get injured. If I hit you, you'll only die. I have a healer here. You should weigh the pros and cons."

Lin Du: ...I should have known better than to get so close to Lao Si. He's just a black-hearted guy.

The great demon was starting to believe him. "Then it'll be you."

"How about buying one and getting three free?" Lin Du didn't mind practicing, so he didn't refuse too much.

The great demon was bewildered. "Huh?"

Yan Qing, Mo Lin, and Jin Xuan stepped forward simultaneously, each carrying a sword and whip on their shoulders. They walked behind Lin Du and said, "How about a buy-one-get-three-free deal? After the treatment, you'll have to pay extra to see a healer."

Yuan Ye carried the Xiqin, "Professional team, plus a battle song and a healing song."

"Putting everything else aside, what is this music therapy? Isn't that for treating heart ailments, soul injuries, and internal injuries? What use is it for injuries caused by fighting?" The great demon suddenly felt confused by the behavior of these cultivators from the Central Plains.

"Oh, that's because we were afraid that they would cause you psychological distress after they beat you up," Yuan Ye explained logically.

"Don't you want to fight?" The great demon, carrying an iron hammer, stood with his hands on his hips, puzzled.

"If you don't want to fight, you just won't?" Lin Du asked.

The great demon chuckled, swung his hammer, and said, "That's not true. If you don't fight me today, you're not leaving."

Lin Du sighed. The demon race was indeed full of martial virtue.

In the next instant, four sharp attacks struck the great demon directly. However, after a short while, the great demon was forced to revert to its original form, roared, and pounced on the group of people who were besieging it.

"So it's a Red Sand Fang," Yan Qing's eyes flashed with surprise, "a living descendant of a strange beast."

Ni Jinxuan took the punch from the great demon squarely, and even the beast, whose cultivation was much higher than hers, was knocked back a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) away.

The four surrounded it again, and about 35 minutes later, a whip wrapped around one of the demon's hind legs, a sword-like staff was thrust at the demon's face, and a long knife was held beneath the demon's neck.

As for Lin Du, he stepped on the back of the great demon and said, "Hello, do you need healing services? If not, do you need any other services? We provide a full range of services, from building a sturdy nest to creating a beautiful home. Discounts are available for acquaintances."

"I don't know you!" the great demon cursed.

"It'll be cooked after grilling," Yue Han said, indicating that she knew the answer to this question.

Great Demon: ...He needs emotional support, to be honest.
