After finishing speaking, Mo Rong didn't waste Shang Lin's time and left directly with Lan Xuan. He was indeed too impatient, because this was the thought that came to him the moment the other party admitted it, and he blurted it out again when he saw that he was about to leave.

However, Shang Lin subconsciously rubbed his forehead. If their Yuntai Sect had to be affiliated with any department, he would not want to choose the Underworld Office at all, for no other reason than that Mo Rong's origins were unknown.

When cooperating with a person or a department, it is always necessary to understand the other party's actual situation, especially for long-term cooperation. However, Mo Rong's identity is a mystery, and even the outstanding employees in the office do not know it. How can outsiders like them know?

Moreover, Mo Rong is a government office under the jurisdiction of the underworld, and as an outsider, I have no way of knowing about it. As the ancients said, "The common people cannot fight against the officials." In my current situation, how is I any different from the ancients?

Moreover, once the two parties cooperate, they will inevitably sign a contract, which is completely different from the contract signed when ordinary humans cooperate.

If a contract between ordinary humans is broken, the worst that can happen is some financial loss. However, contracts are recognized by the laws of nature. Once a contract is broken, whatever the consequences are written on it will be the consequences, and nothing can change that.

Shang Lin returned home with a terrible headache. As expected, She Jinxing was not back. It was Chi Xie who made dinner for him at home. Only then did Shang Lin realize that he did not feel hungry tonight, but not to the point that he could not eat as the little snake said.

Of course, this could also be because he didn't eat as much as the little snake. After all, they would finish all the food at every meal, and the ones who finished their plates were naturally the demon cultivators who ate with him.

As soon as Chi Xie saw Shang Lin, he asked him with a hint of helplessness, "What's going on? Has the little kid been bothered again?"

"I don't know," Shang Lin said honestly. "But I don't think so. It might be a sequela, and this sequela isn't physical, but rather mental. However, we'll have to wait for the little snake to come back to determine the specifics."

Red Scorpion nodded in agreement. "I also think it's probably psychological. After all, he's a cub, vulnerable in every way. It's good enough that he doesn't have nightmares."

"He didn't say, so he probably didn't do it." Shang Lin leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat dejected. "How's the work going on your end?"

“That’s good. Humans just don’t have the same brains as us demon cultivators. When it comes to making money, we really can’t compare to Xing Tian.” After saying that, Red Scorpion realized that Shang Lin was also human, and added, “Except for you, of course.”

“Hehe…” Shang Lin suddenly smiled and looked at Red Scorpion, “I think you’re becoming more and more like a human. You can even say nice things now. That’s rare.”

Red Scorpion glared at Shang Lin without any regard for his image, "Do you really enjoy being roasted by me?"

"Who likes to be criticized? But when I hear you say nice things, I really can't help but laugh." After saying that, Shang Lin changed the subject at the right time, "The little snake probably didn't tell you that food made with the herbs from the Dragon Spirit Tower is beneficial for improving cultivation. Take some back with you when you leave, but only you demon cultivators can eat it."

"Can't we just eat it raw? Why go through all that trouble of cooking?"

Shang Lin smiled helplessly. "Of course you can, but do you have time to go into seclusion and cultivate right now? No, I should say, who among us has the opportunity to go into seclusion and cultivate right now? Let's take it step by step. Besides, how can raw food compare to gourmet food?"

"Okay, but you have to talk to Green One. I can't do it."

Shang Lin looked at Red Scorpion with some doubt, "You can take out a small snake, why can't you?"

"The little snake and Greenie have been together for so long that I can't find it."

"Okay, I'll go." Actually, I can't find it either, so I'll have to use some blood from my fingertip.

However, it is still uncertain when Red Scorpion will leave, so Shang Lin did not immediately go to the Dragon Spirit Tower to find Green Yao. Instead, he did his homework after dinner, just like every day.

Red Scorpion did go to the Dragon Spirit Tower. As a demon cultivator, how could he not like spiritual energy? But when he entered the Dragon Spirit Tower today, he immediately felt a vigorous life force in the tower. What was going on?

Red Scorpion instinctively went to find the Tower Spirit, only to find him playing with Little White by the water. Well, he was floating on the shore, watching Little White, a dragon, thrashing about in the river.

The deity was somewhat surprised to see the red scorpion. "Why are you back? Isn't the little snake with Shang Lin?"

"Hmm, little Fan has some aftereffects; the little snake is following him." After saying that, Red Scorpion asked, "What's going on with the Dragon Spirit Tower now? Why does it have such a vibrant life force?"

The deity said very honestly, "I don't know either, but it's a good thing, isn't it?" Bad things need to be investigated thoroughly so that they can be resolved in time.

Red Scorpion, "..."

I can't believe you're such an irresponsible tower spirit! Changes have occurred inside the Dragon Spirit Tower, and you just let it go unchecked. At least you should have looked into the cause!

However, Red Scorpion did not continue to question the God Lord. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a message to Shang Lin: What is the reason for the vigorous life force in the Dragon Spirit Tower?

After waiting a while, Shang Lin replied to Chi Xie with a question mark. He was clearly doing his homework and didn't reply immediately.

Red Scorpion: You don't know either?!

Shang Lin: Hmm.

Red Scorpion: Then you come and feel it.

Shang Lin: Just a moment.

Red Scorpion immediately put away his phone and followed the God to the water's edge to watch Little White splashing around in the water. Sure enough, he was a monster who liked water. He didn't like it. He liked the desert, well, I should say the oasis in the desert.

To be honest, I prefer the secret realm in the inherited memories. They, the Scorpion Clan, live in an oasis in the secret desert, and in essence, their lives are no different from those of ordinary humans.

However, the secret realm is opened every hundred years, and many cultivators come in to search for treasures. Once, some of their clansmen were brought to the human world, but the natural conditions of the human world were not suitable for their survival. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they gradually became different from those in the secret realm.

There is a significant difference in size, at least. In the past few thousand years, he has probably been the only one who could become a great demon. Moreover, he has experienced the end of the Dharma in the human world. It is truly remarkable that he has survived until now.

Shang Lin waited for nearly an hour, which was the time it took him to finish his homework. Chi Xie was unusually patient, but he didn't stay by the water any longer and went to the herb garden instead.

He wanted to see if he could get the medicinal herbs from Lü Yao. Unfortunately, he walked around the edge of the herb garden but couldn't find Lü Yao's small figure, but the vibrant life force in the herb garden was even stronger.

Could it be that Green Yao has grown some new variety of medicinal herbs? Or plants? Red Scorpion was getting impatient and wondered if he should pluck out a medicinal herb to lure Green Yao out.

But just as Red Scorpion hesitated, Shang Lin entered...
