On the way back with the Demon God, Ye Bai comforted the Ninth Demon God.

"Don't even think about it. The Upper Realm... might not be such a good place."

Ye Bai meant it sincerely.

If it weren't for Xiao Jiu's sake, Ye Bai wouldn't have said anything more, including offering advice to the Ninth Demon God.

For Ye Bai, if he wants to take revenge on a Ninth Demon God, he doesn't need to rely on Xiaoyao's help.

Ye Bai can do it himself!

The Ninth Demon God had also figured out a bit of the situation by this time.

He was hesitant to trust Ye Bai's personality.

but,

Xiaoyao's personality is widely praised!

Ye Bai had made it very clear before that the Ninth Demon God had done a great service to the human race and should be given more care.

Some people might think Ye Bai was being sarcastic or saying the opposite of what he meant.

In reality, Ye Bai was being sarcastic and saying the opposite of what he meant.

But Xiaoyao couldn't understand it!

Xiaoyao interprets everything Ye Bai says literally.

Since Ye Bai said that the Ninth Demon God has made contributions to the human race, then those contributions should be rewarded.

To keep them is a reward.

Ye Bai changed the subject,

"From this perspective, we're even. Once you stay, you'll have nothing to do with the human race anymore."

The Ninth Demon God: ? ? ?

At least others are the ones who kick away the bridge after crossing the river.

What do you mean by that?

You've already demolished the bridge before anyone has even crossed the river.

Selling knife-cut noodles, huh?!

But the devil is under the eaves and has no choice but to bow his head.

The Ninth Demon God asked in a gentle voice,

"Excuse me... what can I do to continue serving the human race?"

Look at him, no wonder he's an undercover agent!

That's high emotional intelligence.

"Let's not talk about meritorious service yet."

Ye Bai took out an IOU and said seriously,

"Do you remember the money you owed the goblins? The IOU is right here. Take a look... when are you going to pay it back?"

The Ninth Demon God was taken aback again.

He never expected to be suddenly attacked by an IOU that had been overdue for a hundred years!

If it were the goblins coming to the Ninth Demon God to collect a debt today, they certainly wouldn't get a single penny.

Who would have thought that these IOUs would fall into Shura's hands!

Then the nature of the problem changes.

Can the money owed to goblins be the same as the money owed to asuras?!

The Ninth Demon God subtly expressed that he had no money.

"If you see anything you like in the Ninth Abyss, feel free to take it."

Ye Bai, without any hesitation, produced a contract.

"Alright, then sign this contract of servitude."

Ninth Demon God: ......

He only knew that Shura was straightforward, but he didn't expect Shura to be this straightforward.

Having accepted the contract of servitude, the Ninth Demon God did not immediately sign it, but instead spoke cryptically.

"I'll ask Ninth Master what he thinks when he returns."

Ye Bai remained expressionless and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, by the way, all I want is money. I don't really care whether the demon god lives or dies."

Congratulations! You have obtained the Ninth Demon God's Contract of Indenture *1

After sending the demon gods back, Ye Bai returned.

When he was on Blue Star, he paid great attention to details, such as wearing a mask so that others could not recognize his true identity.

When Ye Bai returned, he happened to see Xu Qingfeng preparing a barbecue feast.

"The outsiders are finally gone, so let's eat well with our own people."

As he spoke, Xu Qingfeng began to put all sorts of fresh seafood on the barbecue stall, creating a very luxurious display.

Xue Meng, who was standing next to the barbecue stall, started coughing violently.

Xu Qingfeng glanced at him and said, "Are you sick?"

"It's alright, it's alright."

Xue Meng said indistinctly,

"I have a cough!"

Xu Qingfeng ignored Xue Meng and continued to call people over to eat the fresh roasted meat.

A gentle breeze drifted past him, and Shura fell silent as he looked at the lively seafood on the barbecue grill.

"Old Xu, I understand why you took a ton of seafood to go..."

Ye Bai pointed to a large, lively crab and asked earnestly,

"Can you translate this for me? What's going on?"

This giant crab comes from Shura's exclusive space; it's genuine and of the highest quality.

"I, Xu, am an upright and honest person. Although my strength is slightly weaker, I still act with integrity and stand uprightly!"

Xu Qingfeng first delivered a righteous and awe-inspiring speech, then lowered his voice and whispered an explanation to Shura.

"I bought it with my own money."

Ye Bai: ? ? ?

He then remembered that one portion of the income from his private space did indeed come from the sale of local specialties from the ice field.

This income is quite substantial. It seems that a ninth-tier war god has spent all his savings on buying seafood.

After hearing this story, Ye Bai sighed,

"Old Xu, that's not fair of you,"

Old Xu still owes Shura money!

Why waste money buying Shura's seafood?

Xu Qingfeng explained,

“Your seafood products can sell for a higher price with Xue Meng, but he refuses to buy directly from you. So, the money I made as the middleman has been returned to you, hasn’t it?”

The account, it seems, is indeed this account.

However, Ye Bai always felt that something was off.

Xu Qingfeng lowered his voice and said.

"Shh—Xue Meng doesn't know."

Looking at Xue Meng coughing incessantly in the distance, Ye Bai didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is it really okay for you to treat Xue Meng like this?!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Bai realized something even more important!

My sheep have been fleeced by someone else?!

[Hiss—NTR?!]

Is this plot something I can watch without paying?
