178: Sir, my name is Wang Erniu

Inside the cave, the atmosphere fell silent.

Jiang Lan didn't speak, and the Ape Demon didn't dare to make a sound.

After a long silence, Jiang Lan suddenly spoke:

"You don't need me to tell you what to do later, do you?"

"No, no." The Ape Demon nodded repeatedly.

In her heart, she hated the monkey and the pig who brought Jiang Lan over.

Even if Jiang Lan didn't say anything, she would kill those two demons as soon as they arrived.

As for the rest...

The Ape Demon hadn't thought much about what would happen to her after killing those two demons.

Normally, if the Ape Demon and the Pig Demon were alive, her life would actually be guaranteed.

Although Yellow Demon Peak wasn't small, it wasn't too big either; all in all, there were only a few thousand demons.

But only the Ape Demon and the Pig Demon knew that Jiang Lan was with her.

If Jiang Lan went back on his word and suddenly killed her, then the only ones who knew the inside story would be the Ape Demon and the Pig Demon.

If the Ape Demon and the Pig Demon died, then no other demon would know that Jiang Lan had come to her.

If Jiang Lan killed her afterwards, even if other demons wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find out who did it.

But now, the Ape Demon couldn't think that far ahead.

On one hand, it was Life Qi.

On the other hand... if Jiang Lan really went back on his word and killed her, she would be dead, so what did it matter if Jiang Lan was found out?

So the Ape Demon knew that to survive, she could only appease the Young Master in front of her.

As for the talk about giving him ten thousand contributions to buy her life... she wasn't stupid. Such words were only for listening; if she truly believed them, then she would be the one with a problem.

Seeing how sensible the Ape Demon was, Jiang Lan was quite satisfied.

How good it would be if everyone was like this.

Nodding, Jiang Lan closed his eyes and stopped speaking... It wasn't until two hours later that faint footsteps were heard from outside the cave.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, stopping at the mouth of the cave after a short while.

"Your Excellency... are you done?"

Hearing the voice, the Ape Demon's eyes blazed with fury, and she immediately stood up.

However, before she could make a move, she seemed to remember something and cautiously glanced at Jiang Lan, who was still sitting on the stone bed.

Noticing the Ape Demon's gaze, Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

With Jiang Lan's permission, the Ape Demon could no longer hold back. She immediately stood up and walked towards the outside of the cave.

Jiang Lan remained motionless, still sitting on the bed.

When the Ape Demon reached the mouth of the cave, she saw the Ape Demon standing not far away.

He wore a fawning smile on his face, "Your Excellency, how was it?"

The Ape Demon didn't answer his question but looked behind him.

"Where's your friend?"

The Ape Demon's eyes flickered, an unusual expression flashing across his face before he chuckled, "Him? He went back first. Your Excellency... are you looking for him for something?"

The Ape Demon bared her teeth.

"Go, call him over."

Just as the Ape Demon was stunned, the Ape Demon continued:

"The one you brought this time was good; I had a lot of fun. I see both of you aren't far from a Breakthrough, are you? Go call your friend over, and I'll take you two to the market."

Hearing her say this, the Ape Demon's slight doubts were immediately thrown to the back of his mind.

What was there to hesitate about?

He immediately nodded repeatedly, saying, "I'll go now, I'll go now."

With that, he turned to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, the Ape Demon seemed to remember something and turned back, saying:

"Your Excellency, should the two of us go directly to the market, or come back to find you?"

Of course, the Ape Demon couldn't let the Ape Demon go to the market.

That place was full of demons; there was no chance to act.

Her mind whirred, and she showed a 'you understand' expression on her face, saying:

"Come back. It's perfect; I'll go back and spend some more time with that Young Master."

The Ape Demon nodded repeatedly.

"Have fun, Your Excellency."

With that, he turned directly and ran out in a hurry, clearly going to call the Pig Demon.

Perhaps fearing that the Ape Demon would become suspicious on his way back, the Ape Demon looked at his retreating figure and added:

"Come back in half an hour."

The Ape Demon stopped and responded loudly, "Alright, don't worry."

After the Ape Demon left, the Ape Demon returned to the cave.

Seeing Jiang Lan, she fell to her knees with a 'thud'.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me. Just now..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Lan waved his hand.

"It's fine."

He could also understand that the Ape Demon said that earlier to prevent the monkey from becoming suspicious.

"Alright, get up." Jiang Lan raised his hand.

"Yes." The Ape Demon respectfully replied, then stood up and squatted in the corner.

Looking at the Ape Demon, Jiang Lan asked, "What's your name?"

"Replying to Your Excellency, my name is Wang Erniu."

Jiang Lan: "..."

The demons' names were really casual.

But it was also expected.

After all, the demon world didn't care about culture or lack thereof.

Even the shops on the street mostly had text with pictures.

With a low level of education, they naturally couldn't come up with any elegant names.

"Wang Erniu, not bad..."

Wang Erniu remained squatting on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Jiang Lan, on the other hand, stood up and walked out of the cave.

Although there was a fishy smell inside, he got used to it after a while.

But now that he was out of the cave, with fresh air filling his nostrils, Jiang Lan felt a sense of rebirth.

He hadn't come out earlier because he was worried that the Ape Demon and the Pig Demon wouldn't come together.

Killing just one would be useless and would only alert the other.

However, in a while, both should be coming together.

Looking at the mountain scenery, Jiang Lan pondered slightly.

Earlier, he had thought about killing all the demons on the mountain directly after obtaining the Cultivation Technique.

In that case, he conservatively estimated that his Realm could also be raised to the Peak of Nascent Soul.

However, he thought about it again now.

Doing so would have benefits, but also many disadvantages.

The advantage was naturally the ability to quickly increase his strength.

The disadvantage was that after slaughtering the mountain, Ten Thousand Demons Hall would definitely be uninhabitable.

The plan to go to the main Peak would also be impossible to implement.

Although the intelligence of demons was generally a notch below that of humans, if he really slaughtered an entire mountain sect, it would definitely be discovered that he was the one who did it.

The strength of the demons in the main Peak was definitely much stronger than here.

The stronger the demons, the more lifespan he could obtain.

Therefore, Jiang Lan now had to make a choice.

After pondering for a long time while looking at the scenery, Jiang Lan still hadn't made a decision.

A moment later, he shook his head.

Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow when he has enough contributions and gets the Cultivation Technique.

Jiang Lan now wanted both the lifespan on Yellow Demon Peak and the lifespan on the main Peak.

Although he was in the demon world and could obtain a lot of lifespan by slaughtering cities, Jiang Lan didn't intend to do that.

Although the demons in the city generally had Realms, they definitely couldn't compare to a mountain sect like this.

Moreover, a city was too big.

Slaughtering a city was completely a thankless task.
