209: Chapter 209 Night Market

"A Demon Emperor Rank Magic Beast---perfectly disguised as a human---even my innate talent skills couldn't detect a trace---Lin Qingyang, he---"

Luo Qinghe muttered to himself, "Was that purge twenty years ago---not enough? To think they've infiltrated to the level of the Seven Dragon Generals?"

Although he had some doubts about the truth of Chen Yi's words.

But combining it with the strange things that had happened during this period, he felt that such a thing seemed very reasonable!

Xue Haiyao, hidden in the shadows, was also inexplicably shocked.

Damn it, an undercover agent was one thing!

But now, they were telling her the undercover agent was actually a Demon Emperor?

And not a single person had noticed?

Magic Beasts and the Demon Abyss Cult, when did they develop to such an extent?

Luo Qinghe took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and spoke in a serious tone: "Your on-the-spot response just now was very good! This matter must absolutely not be made public for the time being; the fewer people who know, the better!"

"I will secretly launch a highest-level investigation, but the target isn't Red Snake, it's Lin Qingyang!"

"Without ironclad evidence, moving against one of the Seven Dragon Generals would affect everything else. The resulting turmoil would be catastrophic!"

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore, just focus on your own business!"

Chen Yi nodded: "I know!"

He naturally understood that the top priority was still to improve his own strength!

Otherwise, even if he knew the truth, he wouldn't have the power to change anything!

Although Chen Yi and The girls were progressing at an extremely rapid pace because of the system.

Facing such a massive force and top-tier experts who had been deeply rooted for decades, they were still not enough.

Luo Qinghe patted Chen Yi's shoulder heavily: "Kid, you've done a great service this time! Rest assured, this old man isn't dead yet! These old bones can still shield you young people from the wind and rain for a bit longer! Haiyao!"

"Present!"

"Your mission remains unchanged. You must protect Chen Yi and his Contracted Spirit Beasts! From now on, your clearance is raised to the highest level. You can directly use a portion of the secret resources under my name. In an emergency, you may act first and report later!"

"Yes! Thank you for your trust, Hubby!"

By the time Chen Yi returned to the hotel, it was already evening.

The girls also enjoyed a rare bit of leisure time without Chen Yi by their side.

Lin Mengxue and Luo Shiyin played several games of chess on the open-air balcony, using who would be the main attacker during the 'melee' tonight as their wager;

Yan Jiuyue curled up lazily on the sofa, looking through fashion magazines and thinking about how to dress so Chen Yi would look at her more, her nine fox tails swaying contentedly;

The twin sisters, Moon Pupil and Star Pupil, huddled together, whispering as they studied newly bought Light-and-Shadow Cosmetics, letting out crisp laughter from time to time;

Chu Feiyu was quietly wiping her Phoenix Feathers, very much in love with her own Phoenix Bloodline;

Su Taotao held a large tub of popcorn, munching on it with great relish while watching a movie!

As a new member, Yun Zhiyao also quickly integrated into the atmosphere, holding an ancient book and discussing something with Yan Jiuyue---

Seeing Chen Yi return, they all put down what they were doing and flocked to him, chattering away.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Chen Yi smiled and said it was nothing, just that he had gone to discuss the upcoming matches.

At the same time, he made a firm resolution in his heart—he would definitely protect all of this!

To relax his tensed nerves.

Chen Yi decided to take The girls to the famous night market food street in Yanjing that evening to eat snacks and unwind.

Naturally, this received unanimous approval from The girls.

---

The food street at night was bustling with people and filled with the atmosphere of daily life.

Various aromas mixed together, greatly whetting the appetite.

As a food blogger, Su Taotao excitedly weaved through the various night market stalls, her eyes shining.

Chen Yi and the other girls followed behind her, unable to help but smile at her greedy look.

For some reason, it always felt like the food from the mobile stalls in the night market was much tastier than that in star-rated restaurants. Was it just an illusion?

In this way, everyone walked and ate along the way, laughing and chatting, temporarily putting those conspiracies and schemes behind them.

However, just as they passed by a large open-air food stall.

A sudden burst of intense arguing and smashing sounds came from nearby.

"Damn it! Giving you face and you don't want it! This young master taking an interest in you is your good fortune! You dare to make excuses? You really think you're somebody?"

A domineering and arrogant male voice roared.

Immediately followed by a crisp 'slap' and the clatter of tables and chairs being overturned.

Chen Yi and the others looked towards the sound and saw that the food stall next door was in a mess.

A fat man, dressed luxuriously but with a wretched temperament, was pointing and cursing at a young girl sitting among broken plates and bowls.

The girl was wearing a Gothic-style dark dress. Her long, straight black hair was a bit messy, there was a clear palm print on her face, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth.

But her eyes, which were like obsidian, were full of stubbornness and anger as she glared at the fat man.

Many nearby diners were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to step forward, but they were glared back by several fierce-looking followers beside the fat man.

Third or fourth-rank Beast Tamers against ordinary first or second-rank civilians was an absolute overwhelming suppression!

The owner of the food stall was on the side, almost on the verge of tears.

What kind of bad luck was this? It was clearly a budget stall, so why would a young master from a noble family come here to cause trouble---

Chen Yi's gaze swept across the area, and he actually saw an acquaintance in the crowd—Lei Han!

This guy was actually here eating skewers and watching the show?

Lei Han also saw Chen Yi and immediately approached enthusiastically to greet him: "Brother Yi! What a coincidence! You're also here for late-night snacks?"

He now treated Chen Yi as an absolute powerhouse to rely on, and his attitude was very respectful.

"What's going on?"

Chen Yi pointed over there, "What happened here?"

Lei Han curled his lip and lowered his voice to explain quickly: "That fat pig is from the Han Family, named Fatty Han. He's a member of a side branch of the Han Family. He awakened a C-rank talent and looks quite... unfortunate. He's not very well-regarded in the family!"

"But at least his surname is Han. The family gives him hundreds of thousands in pocket money every month to go out and 'spread seeds,' hoping he can hook up with a woman who has some bloodline and looks decent to improve their descendants' genes."

"And that girl is the daughter of a small company owner. Her family background is okay, but it's nothing compared to a Beast Tamer family."

"I guess she's inexperienced and didn't recognize someone from the Han Family. She rejected Fatty Han's advances and even cursed at him, so it turned into this."

"Anyway, from what I've seen, this kind of thing happens almost every day. It's nothing unusual!"

Chen Yi barely listened to the second half of Lei Han's introduction.

Because in his system's field of vision, that dark-style beauty who had fallen to the ground and looked pitiful had a striking system interface above her head!

What a coincidence, another Demon Emperor!
