They say cannon fodder female supporting characters are destined for a bad end? Lan Shuang asserts that it's not yet decided who the true cannon fodder is. Because the tragic deaths of female s...
At first, Lan Shuang also considered the fact that the barrage said that Ning Yufeng was a model. Ning Yufeng did have a good figure and was completely qualified to be a model, but whether Ning Yufeng could be manipulated by others was still a question.
She found an opportunity to ask the person involved and explained the modeling incident to him in detail. Then a certain old man sat on the sofa with his legs crossed very arrogantly, looking at her with a half-smile and said, "You mean to let so many people touch me and take pictures?"
When Lan Shuang heard the tone, she knew that this matter would not be accomplished, so she stopped worrying about it. Instead, Ning Yufeng asked some questions about work, "What kind of job do you think is suitable for someone like me?"
Lan Shuang: “…”
She was silent for a moment and then said earnestly: "You have nothing but your face and figure, so it is really difficult for you to find a job."
Ning Yufeng: “…”
The big demon, who found himself struggling in the human world for the first time, became unhappy and sat on the sofa staring at his phone for an hour.
Later, he suddenly clicked on Director Liu's chat box. They hadn't chatted since adding each other as friends, so the chat box was still stuck at the same state as before. Ning Yufeng didn't like beating around the bush, nor did he send cute emoticons like humans, so he asked directly, "Are you short of anyone?"
Director Liu responded very quickly. I don’t know if he had been closely following Ning Yufeng’s movements, but almost as soon as the message was sent, he replied with three question marks.
Director Liu: [???]
Ning: [Don’t understand?]
Director Liu: [I understand, but I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you want to ask?]
Ning Yufeng scratched his hair and muttered impatiently: "Why does this guy talk so much nonsense?"
He looked up and saw that Lan Shuang had gone to take a shower, so he was the only one in the living room.
He opened the voice chat directly: "I'm looking for a job. Are you short of people? Is it okay for me to come over and help you?"
Director Liu held his phone in a daze, playing it again. He suddenly stood up and walked to the window. He opened the curtains and took a look, just in time to see the sunset. "Tsk, the sun doesn't rise from the west? Did he take some wrong medicine?"
Ning Yufeng didn't know what Director Liu was thinking. Seeing that he hadn't replied yet, he also replied with three question marks: [???]
Director Liu quickly replied to the ancestor: [It's not impossible. The Administration is always short of people, and what they need most is powerful monsters like you who can control the situation. The problem is, if you want to work in the Administration, you can't easily get into grudges with others. You haven't resolved your issue with the Ling family yet, so I can't transfer you in.]
Ning Yufeng frowned: "It's the Ling family again."
He thought about it and realized that he had been practicing every night recently, so his body should recover soon. Then he could go and settle the score with the Ling family. It shouldn't take long, so it's okay to wait.
After thinking about it, he agreed, "It's okay, we'll talk after the Ling family's matter is resolved."
Director Liu: [Okay, we’ll discuss this in detail in person later.]
After putting down his phone, Director Liu pinched his brows and sighed. Since the establishment of their administration, they have been trying hard to attract big demons to join the army. This will not only enhance the overall strength of the administration, but also enhance the prestige of the administration, making it easier to supervise the big demons to turn over a new leaf. No matter how you look at it, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, but the big demons are unwilling to come. They are used to freedom, so how could they be willing to come to a place where humans are and be restricted?
So over the years, he had to worry about these troublesome monsters from time to time. Now that someone took the initiative to ask to join, he was happy but also worried that Ning Yufeng would be short-lived. So he refused not only because of the Ling family, but also because he wanted to give Ning Yufeng some time to calm down, so that he would not regret it in two days, otherwise he would be very angry.
I hope he really thinks it through.
Director Liu sighed, picked up the coffee and drank it with the flavor of white wine.
…
The Ling family, which Ning Yufeng was thinking about, is now bustling with activity.
Monster hunters from all over the country heard the news and gathered at the Ling family's old house. All the disciples of the Ling family wore green robes, with solemn expressions, looking extremely dignified and orderly.
All visitors were led into the main hall by a special person. Ling Yu, the current head of the Ling family, sat in the upper seat, looking majestic without even being angry.
"Old man, what happened that made you call us here so urgently?"
"That's right. The Demon Slaying Order hasn't appeared in the world for over a hundred years. What kind of trouble has it encountered this time that your Ling family can't handle?"
The monster hunters in different clothes sat at the bottom, each with their own thoughts.
Ling Yu pretended not to notice and only spoke after everyone had arrived, "It's indeed inappropriate to call everyone here so hastily. However, this matter is of great importance, and everyone here has the right to know so that you can respond accordingly."
After these words were spoken, the people below became a little restless. They looked at each other and asked, "Old man, why don't you explain it more clearly?"
"As everyone knows, the Ling family has a Demon Locking Tower, which suppresses a great demon from thousands of years ago. It has made great contributions to protecting the peace of the area. However, as time passed, the effectiveness of the formation became weaker and weaker. I noticed this a few years ago and tried to reinforce it once, but it still couldn't hold up. A few days ago, a nine-life cat demon broke into the Demon Locking Tower. I don't know how it used this method to awaken the great demon. The great demon shattered the formation and broke out of the tower. Its whereabouts are now unknown."
"What?! Ran away?"
"Where did you go? This, this, this..."
Many people's faces changed, and they were terrified. "I remember that the one suppressed inside was the Silver Wind Stepping Cloud Tiger. That monster is extremely fast, and it is impossible for ordinary people to catch up. If he escapes, no ancestor alive in the world today can match him!"
"More than that, the evildoers have always been extremely vengeful. After being suppressed for so many years, they must hate us monster catchers. If he has the will, you and I will both die!"
A demon catcher close to the Ling family deliberately dragged someone onto the Ling family's boat to blur the target of Ning Yufeng's hatred.
Ling Yu nodded. "The evildoer is indeed vindictive. He hasn't taken action yet, so I think he's hiding somewhere to recuperate and wait for the day ahead. I called everyone here today because I hope you can unite and capture him while he's weak, so that we can seal him away again with our combined strength!"
The people below were silent for a moment, then began to discuss quietly. Ling Yu was not in a hurry. After a while, everyone reached a consensus, "Okay, let's do as Mr. Ling said. Take advantage of his illness and kill him!"
Ling Yu picked up the teacup, hiding the triumphant smile on his lips. He stood up and said, "You are all people who understand the greater good. The Ling family is worried that we will not be able to provide adequate hospitality, so we have booked a hotel in the city. Please move on. All expenses will be reimbursed by the Ling family."
…
After discussing countermeasures, the demon catchers began a carpet search, each showing off their magical powers, wishing they could dig three feet into the ground to dig Ning Yufeng out immediately.
——Digression——
Why are you all wishing me a Happy New Year? I was still here on New Year's Day! Let's talk about it on that day. Then something unexpected happened. I originally planned to update between the 20th and 22nd, but the editor told me yesterday that the update has been pushed up and it needs to be updated steadily, so I will still update normally in the next few days. I'll take a leave and postpone it. My poor manuscript box is getting thinner day by day.
