Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 711: Chapter 711: National Demon Sprite (2)

Li Xiaoyu, although a Demon Hunter, had a better physical constitution than the average person.

But still, falling from such a height, she was seriously injured.

”Bring that demon back to me!”

The first thing Li Xiaoyu did upon waking up was to roar with anger, demanding that people catch Chuzheng.

”Miss, please don’t be angry, your health is more important...” someone beside her advised.

The pain from her injuries made Li Xiaoyu’s charming face contort into something ferocious.

”Investigate...find out what’s the deal with her.” It was strange; how could she suddenly become so powerful? There must be someone behind her.

”Miss, please calm down, we will investigate right away.”

Li Xiaoyu couldn’t calm down and began furiously berating the people around her.

The crowd could only bow their heads and endure Li Xiaoyu’s wrath.

After venting, Li Xiaoyu asked, ”Where’s Li Yan?”

”Still unconscious...” Li Yan’s injuries were even more severe than Li Xiaoyu’s.

”Then what are you all doing here? Why aren’t you going to catch her!!”

”Yes...”

-

This world was no different from the normal world, and most people were unaware of the existence of demons, working from dawn till dusk in their monotonous lives.

Demon Hunters and demons both lived hidden among these ordinary people.

As Chuzheng walked down the street, she occasionally spotted a demon disguised as a human.

Maybe a suit-clad office worker.

Or a store clerk.

After all, to live in the human world, demons needed money too.

[Sister, you see, no matter where you are, it doesn’t work without money.] Even demons have to work hard to earn money if they want to live here.

Chuzheng, with an indifferent face: ”I think they have forgotten that they are demons.”

Pillaging and plundering are the proper deeds a demon should do.

Earning money by working?

Crazy!

[...]King’s Account couldn’t reason with Chuzheng, so it sent her a mission to cool off: [Main Quest: Please find yourself a place to live within one hour, Sister.]

”A hotel, then.”

[Your own house.] King’s Account clenched its teeth, emphasizing the word ”house.” A hotel doesn’t count.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng, new to the area and not familiar with her surroundings, decided to stick to the nearest available option.

She casually looked at a small ad on a telephone pole and started making calls.

-

Chuzheng surveyed the courtyard house.

The place was spacious and the environment, quite peaceful.

The owner of the house, dressed in pajamas and leaning against the door yawning, said: ”You come to see the house in the middle of the night, are you crazy or something? Are you done looking? When you’re finished, I’m going to bed.”

The owner thought Chuzheng was just messing with him.

Someone so young couldn’t possibly afford such a courtyard house.

If he weren’t in urgent need of money, he would not have considered selling the house left by his ancestors.

”How much?”

The owner raised an eyebrow, held out his hand, and waggled his five fingers: ”This much.”

”Fifty million?”

The owner: ”...”

The owner was taken aback.

If his courtyard house were in the second ring, that price would be the lowest.

But it wasn’t in the second ring; it wasn’t worth that much.

This young lady just blurted out fifty million...

The owner’s sleepiness vanished, and he stepped forward with a sly grin: ”Just five million, you don’t need that much.”

The five million was actually him quoting high, as the place was a bit off the beaten path, the alleyways so narrow cars couldn’t drive through. Wealthy people, even if they wanted to live in a stylish courtyard house, wouldn’t want to live here.

Chuzheng was slightly disappointed.

”Can we sign the contract now?”

”Yes, yes, yes,” the owner said. ”As long as the money is right, the house is immediately yours. Please give me a moment.”

The owner was eager to sell the place; he had already moved out and taken his belongings with him.

He went to get the contract, huffing and puffing as he ran back.

”Take a look, there’s nothing wrong with it, let’s sign it now.” Five million, without even haggling over the price, I’ve hit the jackpot, hahaha!

The homeowner excitedly handed over the contract.

Chuzheng glanced at it casually and signed her name.

”Then I will take you to complete the paperwork tomorrow. Here are the keys to the house, keep them safe. Allow me to introduce you to the house... Please come inside, watch your step...”

-

The alley of the quadrangle house leads directly to the night market. It wasn’t very lively when Chuzheng went out during the day.

But at night, it was bustling. Chuzheng even saw three demons squatting on a street corner playing a game.

The three demons were dressed similarly, resembling the delinquents commonly seen in society.

Who knows if the teammates you’re gaming with are human or demon!

Chuzheng walked up to the three demons.

”Damn, are you stupid or what, can’t you play?”

”I’m going to die here!”

”Motherf*cker, kill him!”

The three demons were engrossed in the game when suddenly the light in front of them dimmed, and the next second, one of the demons was out.

”Shit!”

The demon sprite cursed angrily.

He looked up to see who was blocking their light.

The person standing against the light was just a vague silhouette, but the demon sprite felt an overwhelming sense of oppression and danger.

He jumped up in a flash, as did the two other demons beside him: ”Boss, what’s going on, what’s going on?”

Another demon shouted, ”Boss, I’m not dead yet!”

The first to stand up, the Boss, smacked him: ”You’re still playing, dammit.”

”Ah! I’m dead!” The demon screamed as though he had actually died.

The Boss could now see the person standing before him... No! This was a demon, she had the aura of their kind, and she was more powerful than he was.

”What do you want?” The Boss opened his hands defensively, shielding the two clueless underlings behind him.

Relations among demons weren’t so peaceful.

Great Demons devouring lesser ones was nothing out of the ordinary.

”Do you know where I could gather some information?” Chuzheng asked him.

”???”

”Take me there,” Chuzheng continued.

”...”

The three underling demons exchanged glances.

”You... you want to buy information?” The Boss, being a bit braver, asked with a stiffened resolve.

”Mhm.”

She wasn’t here to trouble them.

That was a relief.

The Boss breathed a sigh of relief and shoved his phone to the underling, who reluctantly tried to tuck it into his pocket. Even a Boss’s kick was directed at him along with a glare.

The underling was somewhat reluctant.

But under the threat of the Boss’s gaze, he unhappily moved to the side.

Taking advantage of the crowd at the barbecue stand, he sneakily slipped the phone back onto a customer eating late-night snacks.

Chuzheng: ”...”

-

Chuzheng had looked up Li Xiaoyu’s information, but there was too little available.

The original owner knew very little about Li Xiaoyu as well.

How could she make a surefire move without understanding the dog she was going to take down?!

The original owner had heard that both the Demon Clan and Demon Hunters had their own network for information.

Information that average people couldn’t uncover could be bought within this network.

Yu Su led Chuzheng through the night market, constantly looking back, his heart trembling with fear.

What kind of Great Demon had descended upon them?

He was scared to death.

The girl following behind proceeded without so much as glancing sideways, as if the lively surroundings of the street didn’t interest her in the slightest.

Two underlings sidled up to Yu Su: ”Boss, who’s this demon?”
