Chapter 292: Taking You to Buy Clothes

Inside the study, Yang Haoran lightly tapped his fingertips on the desk, his expression serious, devoid of any smiles.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Haoran paused in his tapping, snapping out of his contemplation.

Seeing only a cigarette butt left between his two fingers, a smile crept onto Yang Haoran's face. He chuckled and habitually pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"This is the plan. I'll prepare for the next few days and then make a trip to Ancheng. I wonder how strong she is now. Compared to her, how much am I lacking?"

With a plan in mind, Yang Haoran didn't continue to rack his brains on the sofa. He stood up, loosened his stiff body a bit, and then checked the time.

It was still early, so he decided to go out and change into a new outfit.

"Since I'm going to Ancheng, I should dress up a bit. Neglecting innate deficiencies without making up for them is truly a waste."

Thinking this, Yang Haoran left the study. Just as he was about to descend the stairs, he seemed to recall something and glanced towards the room where the serpent demon was.

"Although I've sealed her within, in case she can't accept it and wants to break free, it could be troublesome and harm ordinary people. I won't be able to explain to the Spirit Police at that time."

Yang Haoran had made a promise to Deputy Captain Zhou. If something went wrong right after bringing the serpent demon back, even if he didn't explain to the Spirit Police, he wouldn't be able to face them.

After a moment of hesitation, Yang Haoran walked towards the room where the serpent demon, Bai Xue, was located.

At the door, Yang Haoran knocked, and immediately, the voice of serpent demon Bai Xue came from inside the room. However, her voice sounded weak and lacking in energy.

"What's up?"

Yang Haoran hadn't intentionally sealed the power fluctuations and Yin Qi emanating from him, so even if the door wasn't opened, the serpent demon would know it was Yang Haoran knocking.

"I have something to discuss with you," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Serpent demon didn't speak, but Yang Haoran could hear her footsteps. The sound of those footsteps approached from a distance and stopped behind the door.

The door opened, and serpent demon looked at Yang Haoran, a forced smile appearing on her face. Although her smile seemed unnatural, it didn't affect the charm she exuded to the opposite sex.

If a person is exceptionally beautiful, every expression wouldn't diminish their beauty. The serpent demon, in human form, was indeed a monster of that kind.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, what brings you here?" Serpent demon asked with a smile.

Despite her smiling appearance, she had already cursed Yang Haoran thoroughly in her heart. She was already weak, and before she could rest properly, Yang Haoran came knocking again. How could she feel comfortable?

"Third..."

Before Yang Haoran could finish speaking, serpent demon interrupted, taking a step back. She then crossed her arms in front of her chest, no longer smiling, and looked at Yang Haoran with a vigilant gaze.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, people from your Yin Division all have ghost eyes. Does your ghost eye have this ability too?"

Yang Haoran, who was getting into the explanation, was caught off guard by serpent demon's question. He hastily spoke, "You can rest assured. My ghost eye absolutely doesn't have that ability."

"Really?" Serpent demon was clearly skeptical.

"I guarantee it. If my ghost eye had that ability, I would definitely carry a telescope with me all the time. Do you see a telescope hanging around my neck?" Yang Haoran said earnestly.

Seeing that serpent demon still didn't believe him, Yang Haoran felt a bit helpless. However, he patiently continued, "If my ghost eye truly had that ability, I would have seen you thoroughly. Since I've already seen everything, covering up now with your hands doesn't make any sense, does it?"

"Alright, alright. Stop talking. Since I've transformed into human form, I do need a few decent clothes. This way, I'll look more like a person. Let's go; let's not waste any more time."

Serpent demon didn't want to continue this topic. As she spoke, she quickly left the room and then descended the stairs with firm steps.

Watching serpent demon's figure, Yang Haoran let out a sigh of relief but thought to himself, "Finish the deal soon, send her away early to avoid any misunderstandings."

With a wry smile and a shake of his head, Yang Haoran also went downstairs, though he strolled leisurely, unlike serpent demon's hurried pace.

"Aunt, who are you? Are you Uncle Yang's friend?"

Just as Yang Haoran descended the stairs, he heard Xiaokang's voice. His expression changed slightly, and he quickened his steps.

Serpent demon was a demon who ate humans, and in her eyes, little kids like Xiaokang were tender. Many demons loved such talkative little ones.

Although this was Yang Haoran's home, and there was a seal planted inside serpent demon by him, he still felt a bit worried.

However, after clearly observing the situation downstairs, Yang Haoran relaxed, but it was only a slight relief.

Xiaokang was standing in front of serpent demon, his big eyes full of innocence. Serpent demon had a smiling face, patting Xiaokang's head, seemingly fond of the little fellow.

Yang Haoran didn't let his guard down just because of the scene before him. Many humans also loved small animals because they looked cute, but not everyone would spare them just because they liked them.

People were like that, and demons were no exception. Therefore, Yang Haoran remained quite cautious about serpent demon.
