Having lived as an elf in the fairy tale world for hundreds of years, Yu Ling truly had a blast. She also witnessed many fairy tale protagonists and their inspiring, heartwarming, and deeply moving stories.

However, no matter how extravagant or luxurious the life is, it will eventually become tiresome. Yu Ling chose an auspicious day, divided her physical energy equally between the original owner and Kaio, and returned to her permanent residence in the God's Space to recuperate for some time before starting her next survival mission.

——

This is a Western fantasy world with heaven and hell. Only humans who believe in one side will receive a response from angels or demons and 'borrow' strange powers that do not belong to humans.

For a long time, the human world, as the pinnacle of faith in 'gods' and 'angels', has been relegated to a subordinate territory by Heaven.

However, not all humans will conform to a set of chivalrous codes of justice and kindness.

Under the relentless and opportunistic temptations of the demons of hell, the greedy humans, whose desires could no longer be satisfied, finally split from within.

As time passed, the angels also withdrew from the human world, leaving only a small number of human believers as representatives of the two opposing forces, fighting for the right to rule the human world on behalf of their respective factions.

According to the unspoken, unspoken rules among certain powerful figures, in order to protect the human world from being destroyed by the war between Heaven and Hell, all demons and angels are forbidden from walking among humans. They can only define their own territories by "helping humans who believe in them and granting them better rights and status."

...Yu Ling opened her narrow, scarlet eyes in the new world...

Its slender tongue, sharp teeth, and body shrouded in dark mist made it appear and disappear. Its large, black, bat-like wings were folded behind its back, much larger than those of the vampire, making it both cool and domineering.

—Yu Ling transmigrated into the body of a demon, a demon 'exiled' from hell to the human world.

Demons have long lifespans, and the original owner also possessed a vast and chaotic collection of memories; the Jade Eyes only roughly grasped the key points.

The original owner's current 'enemies' and the protagonist are probably on the side of Heaven. The original owner, who was a demon, walked among humans and became a 'violator' under the unspoken rules. When his identity was exposed, he was ruthlessly hunted down by angels who also appeared among humans under the 'special treatment'.

Therefore, almost the instant Yu Ling opened her eyes, she felt several gazes filled with murderous intent fixed on her.

Yu Ling is currently hiding in the shadows of a secluded street. To her left is a church, and to her right is a high wall. However, the magic circle on the wall prevents her from escaping by passing through it, and both entrances are blocked by angels.

It seems there is no other way to escape, unless Yu Ling immediately opens a spatial passage and slinks back to hell.

But the Supreme God would never issue such a simple task.

It seems there are even more deadly things waiting for him in hell. He needs to avoid the plot's demise first, and then find a chance to carefully review what kind of trouble the original owner had caused.

The holy aura, which was strongly rejected by the demon's body, was rapidly approaching. The angels were currently occupying the bodies of human believers, and being burdened by their physical bodies gave them some breathing room.

Yu Ling chose the latter over 'using a cheat code and having the angels discover something was wrong and report it to Heaven' or 'going to the church and recklessly trying to get ahead'.

Although churches are also places that suppress demons, there's a saying that the most dangerous place is often the safest. The angels certainly didn't expect Yu Ling to pull such a clever trick, making the path to the church completely unobstructed, which made it hard for Yu Ling not to be tempted.

Yu Ling was no stranger to churches. In the Western fantasy world, there were all kinds of beliefs that allowed churches to exist, and in some places, the power of the church even surpassed that of the king.

Although the churches in this world are built on a plane where God and angels truly exist, they are far less powerful than those in the previous world. They survive only because of the charity of the angels. Most of the humans and clergy inside are ordinary people who can only 'borrow' divine power after praying, making them excellent hostages.

Just then, a service was being held in the church, and a small portion of the people inside had not yet been blessed by angels. The moment Yu Ling rushed in, she transformed into a cloud of black mist and entered the body of a boy whose heartbeat was the most irregular among those present.

"Believe in me, humankind. The angels may not respond to your sincere prayers, but that's alright. Welcome to the freer forces of hell!"

Yu Ling uses the original owner's unique language system (demon language), which can only be understood by designated individuals. Everyone else, regardless of who they are, even if angels are present, can only hear a chaotic muttering.

"Come on, sign a contract with me, and I will help you cure your seriously ill family member. I think he/she can't wait any longer for you to hesitate, human."

The human boy had reddish-brown curly hair, delicate features, and a youthful appearance. He looked like he hadn't experienced the harsh realities of society yet. Perhaps it was because one of his parents often came to church to pray with him that he behaved like other ordinary people without showing any fear.

But faith is something that can't be faked. Angels will never respond to someone who is pretentious or driven by self-interest. And even truly sincere believers won't all be noticed.

The boy, whose secret had been exposed, did not immediately reject Yu Ling, which greatly increased the chances of Yu Ling successfully taking advantage of him.

After shrinking into a human body, Yu Ling put on the Concealing Breath Necklace and other badges, temporarily deceiving the angels. However, this did not last long, and the angels still managed to narrow down the location of Yu Ling's escape to the church through various other means.

"Uh... Mr. Demon, as far as I know, the power of hell only brings destruction and has no healing effect."

The little boy wanted more protection. But time was running out for Yuling.

Yu Ling could no longer haggle with him. She sent the boy a copy of the contract, which looked like a piece of kraft paper, through a soul link and extended a brief invitation to symbiosis.

"Hey, everyone says demons are cunning and untrustworthy, but humans can't let their ears control their eyes. Listen to me, child, there are some clingy angels chasing me. If you sign a contract with me, we can fool them, successfully leave the church, and help you fulfill your wish."

Yu Ling didn't finish her sentence. Although the boy carefully looked at the terms of the contract, he understood perfectly well what was going on.
