In the end, all of Gu Qingfeng's colleagues who had come with him were summoned and began to seal off the Heavenly Fragrance Tower.
The Heavenly Fragrance Tower was thrown into chaos.
"Hey, what are you Demon Suppression Bureau dogs doing! I am the direct descendant of the Li family, let me pass!"
"Hong Li is so gentle and lovely, how could she be a demon? You're talking nonsense!"
"Who's in charge here! Tell him to get out! How dare you seal off the Heavenly Fragrance Tower? Don't you know who owns this place?"
Countless guests were shouting in dissatisfaction.
Gu Qingfeng instructed Wang Fatty, "Go to the Demon Suppression Bureau and inform Chief Li Qianren that the top courtesan of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, Hong Li, is a Shadow Demon avatar. Ask him to bring people to investigate the remnants of the Blood Demon Cult."
"Yes, Chief Gu." Wang Fatty obeyed the order and left.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the noisy crowd and coldly snorted, stepping forward: "Shut the hell up!"
As he spoke, his master-level spiritual power spread out like ripples, enveloping the entire hall with a pressure like the sky collapsing, making everyone feel a strange heart palpitation and difficulty breathing.
In an instant, the entire Heavenly Fragrance Tower fell silent.
Everyone looked at Gu Qingfeng standing in the center with awe and fear.
"I am Gu Qingfeng, a Yellow Rank Demon Suppression Officer of the Demon Suppression Bureau. I received a tip-off early on that the top courtesan of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, Hong Li, was suspected to be a demon. Therefore, I came here today in civilian clothes to investigate. As expected, Hong Li is not only a demon but also an avatar of the Shadow Demon, one of the Seven Demon Generals. She has been exposed and executed by me. Now, I suspect that there are still remnants of the Blood Demon Cult hidden in the Heavenly Fragrance Tower. Do not move, and cooperate with the Demon Suppression Bureau's work. Anyone who makes any unusual moves will be considered an accomplice of the demons and will be executed immediately!"
Gu Qingfeng declared with righteous indignation.
The crowd was shocked by Gu Qingfeng's words and began to murmur among themselves.
"One of the Seven Demon Generals!? They're still alive?"
"Hong Li is a Shadow Demon? How is that possible!"
"I think it's true. Didn't Chief Gu say he received a tip-off early on and came here today to investigate? This clearly shows he had evidence and came prepared."
"If that's the case, then the Heavenly Fragrance Tower might still have remnants of the Blood Demon Cult hidden among them?"
Upon hearing this, many guests discreetly loosened their grip on the courtesans and took a few steps back.
Gu Qingfeng was satisfied with the current effect. He wasn't making baseless accusations. Since the top courtesan of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower was a demon, it was likely that she had some underlings around her to relay information. The Heavenly Fragrance Tower, being a place of mixed crowds, was undoubtedly a good spot for the Blood Demon Cult to gather information.
Therefore, his actions were not just out of spite, nor was he deliberately making things difficult for Wang Fatty and the others to ruin their fun.
Instead, he was acting on solid evidence, enforcing the law impartially, and fully fulfilling his duties and obligations as a Demon Suppression Officer.
Soon, Li Qianyan led a team to the scene.
Given the involvement of one of the Seven Demon Generals, Li Qianyan naturally had to take charge personally.
Gu Qingfeng detailed the events to Li Qianyan.
Li Qianyan agreed with Gu Qingfeng's analysis and began a comprehensive search of the entire Heavenly Fragrance Tower.
During the search, they indeed found two Blood Demon Cult members hiding among the guests, both subordinates of the Shadow Demon, who were used to relay information.
These two Blood Demon Cult members stood no chance against Li Qianyan, a master-level expert, and were captured on the spot and taken back for interrogation.
With this, the Heavenly Fragrance Tower incident came to a close.
Gu Qingfeng left the Heavenly Fragrance Tower without spending a single coin.
And why didn't he pay?
Come on, the dutiful Chief Gu wasn't here for pleasure; he was on official business to hunt down demons.
Not holding the Heavenly Fragrance Tower accountable for harboring demons and allowing it to remain open was already lenient. Who would dare ask for money?
Back at the Demon Suppression Bureau, Gu Qingfeng, for his service in uncovering demons and protecting the people, was rewarded with ten thousand merit points by Li Qianyan as encouragement.
Gu Qingfeng felt that today wasn't a loss. Although he hadn't been able to "mount and gallop" or experience the "riding courtesans," he had at least eaten, drank, and touched for free, and even earned ten thousand merit points.
The only pity was that the Heavenly Fragrance Tower had been ordered to rectify due to the demon incident and would be closed for a while. If he wanted to go back for another free ride, he would have to wait.
Gu Qingfeng didn't feel like he had lost out, but Wang Fatty felt he had lost big time.
Who could understand the pain of being interrupted just as things were about to get interesting by one's own boss?
It was practically a shadow in one's life, requiring medication to heal.
...
Gu Qingfeng returned to his residence, unable to fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned. After downing several mouthfuls of cold water, he still felt a fire burning inside him.
Finally, he decided not to sleep and instead planned to divert his attention through cultivation. There was no other choice, as there were no phones or games here.
Moreover, he had many things left to cultivate and couldn't delay any further.
He hadn't practiced the Pure Yang Infinite Technique yet.
His bloodline hadn't been awakened yet.
He hadn't cultivated the primordial essence blood needed for blood regeneration.
Thinking of all this, Gu Qingfeng suddenly felt the same dread as when he hadn't finished his summer homework.
"Ah, I have to start cultivating again... Hmm? When was the last time I cultivated?" Gu Qingfeng scratched his head, unable to recall.
He took out the Pure Yang Infinite Technique and began to study it.
With his ability to remember anything he saw, it only took him the time of a stick of incense to memorize the Pure Yang Infinite Technique.
Then, with the slight increase in comprehension from his clear-minded state and his powerful spiritual strength, he quickly understood the various insights and mysteries of the Pure Yang Infinite Technique.
Of course, the Pure Yang Infinite Technique was an advanced version of the Pure Yang Technique, so Gu Qingfeng had some foundation and wasn't starting from scratch.
After comprehending the technique, it was time for the medicinal part. Gu Qingfeng took out a bottle of Cultivation Foundation Pills from his extradimensional space, glanced at it, and said, "What a piece of junk."
He then tossed the Cultivation Foundation Pills back and took out a higher-grade True Essence Pill to swallow.
As the True Essence Pill entered his stomach, a strange warmth suddenly emerged from within him, and Gu Qingfeng immediately felt invigorated.
It had to be said that the True Essence Pill was indeed much stronger than the Cultivation Foundation Pill. While the Cultivation Foundation Pill's medicinal power was like a dam breaking, releasing all at once in a simple and crude manner, the True Essence Pill, despite having stronger medicinal power, was very gentle. It was like a small stream flowing, continuous and refreshing, spreading silently like spring rain to every corner of his body.
A strand of warm medicinal power seeped into his muscles, and Gu Qingfeng felt as if countless cells in his muscles were cheering. A surge of abundant and lively energy emerged.
With the help of internal vision, he could clearly see the medicinal power flowing like water. He quickly operated the Pure Yang Infinite Technique to guide the medicinal power, transforming it little by little into infinite pure yang energy.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.
