Before he even knocked, the servants in the mansion saw Gu Yuchuan. After yesterday's battle, he had gained some fame among the demons. Of course, it wasn't just him; the five demons who suppressed the array eyes and array flags yesterday had also gained considerable fame. Among them, the most prestigious was undoubtedly the Viper. A dragon, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a mid-grade spirit beast—each of these identities made most demons look up to him. As for the remaining four, their fame was relatively small.

However, this is also a good thing. Gu Yuchuan is only at the Qi Refining stage. Too much fame is not a good thing for him, but even a bad thing. This is the best situation now. He was greeted by a black wolf, whose wolfish face showed a hint of flattery.

"Oh dear, it's the Green Snake King! Please come in. Are you here to see our Demon General?"

Gu Yuchuan nodded. Now he cares about his appearance, unlike before. He has a status now, so he naturally has to pay attention to his image. He is a little snake with good manners.

"That's right. Yesterday, the Demon General bestowed something upon me, and I have come to express my gratitude."

The little wolf had already sent word, and soon led Gu Yuchuan inside.

Along the way, he observed the mansion. It resembled an official's residence, designed like a gentle and beautiful water town in Jiangnan. They passed through an elegant garden with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and lakes, each meticulously crafted and pleasing to the eye. Gu Yuchuan admitted that he was tempted; he also wanted to live in such a place. Once the war was over, he would capture some human experts in architecture and sculpture to renovate his Dragon Palace.

He's just jealous; he just wants to enjoy himself! If cultivation isn't for enjoyment, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?

Finally, he met the Xuan Turtle Demon General. The other party's aura seemed much gentler and more solid, so his injuries must have almost healed.

Gu Yuchuan lowered his head: "This little demon congratulates Your Majesty on your recovery. I have come today to thank Your Majesty for your reward yesterday."

The Xuan Turtle Demon General's eyes deepened considerably: "That's what you deserve. You earned your merits and achievements, which is why I was able to plan these benefits for you. If you hadn't lived up to my expectations, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Just accept it with peace of mind. Although you're not exactly my direct subordinate, you are still a subordinate who has signed a contract with me. Since I've used you, I naturally trust you and am willing to give you benefits. Just focus on your cultivation and fight well."

Gu Yuchuan handed the protective mirror in his hand to the maid beside him: "Demon General, this is a protective mirror that I made myself. Although it is certainly a very ordinary thing in your hands, my cultivation is low and I don't have anything good. I can only use this to thank you. Please don't find it offensive."

The Xuan Turtle Demon General took it, examined it carefully, and couldn't hide the smile on his face: "Good, it's good that you have this thought. Although we don't need this, it's a nice gift for a junior. I'll remember it."

That's exactly what he wanted to hear. Right now, the little snake in his heart is already dancing. When it comes to flattery and gift-giving, who can compare to the Chinese? Even among the demon race, his social skills can crush everyone else. Just look at this now, a magical artifact that they can't even use has made the other party very happy. They will definitely not forget him when there are good things in the future.

"Thank you for your guidance, Demon General. I will not disturb your work any longer and will take my leave now."

The Xuan Turtle Demon General nodded: "Black Wolf, why don't you go and get some spirit fruits for the Green Snake King to take back and try? What kind of work are you? You have no sense at all."

The black werewolf was dumbfounded. He blinked his big eyes at the Xuan Turtle Demon General. What was going on? Didn't he say yesterday that this spiritual fruit was of a high grade and could promote cultivation? He was told to keep it safe and not give it to anyone else. Now it's like he's not taking it out. What does that mean? He was going to report this to the authorities.

However, he wasn't stupid; he knew he couldn't ask at this time, so he immediately went to get the fruit.

"I won't see you off. Just take two fruits; you can have them as a treat when you have some free time."

After thanking him, Gu Yuchuan left. He saw the black wolf looking at him innocently, and he couldn't help but laugh inwardly, knowing why.

Even after he left, the black wolf was still fuming. They all knew how to handle things, except him—was he the only fool? No way, he needed to become a wolf with high emotional intelligence; he had to learn the art of conversation.

After leaving the Black Tortoise Demon General's place, he did not go home, but went to the White Crane Demon General's place. The White Crane Demon General's residence was a level lower than that of the Black Tortoise Demon General. After all, the Black Tortoise Demon General was one of the four great demon generals. Although his cultivation was lower, he represented the aquatic race and was the orthodox leader of Yunhai Marsh, so his status was naturally different.

When he arrived at the White Crane Demon General's place, he was not given much attention. The servants outside did not recognize him at all, and their tone was even very arrogant, calling the gatekeeper a wolfhound.

"You said you came to thank our Demon General. As the commander of the logistics camp, our Demon General has a noble status. Countless demons try to curry favor with him every day. How can I let you in?"

Gu Yuchuan took out his identity jade token, and his tone became impolite: "Make sure you understand my identity. I am the weapon refiner of the logistics camp, the Green Serpent King."

The wolfhound instinctively shrank its head, but its words remained unchanged: "I won't let you in. Just leave."

"Fine, fine," Gu Yuchuan didn't understand whether this was the White Crane Demon General's intention or someone was playing tricks, but he was really angry and turned to leave.

After he left, the wolfhound went back to a clouded leopard and said in a very obsequious manner, "Your Majesty, I have done as you instructed and let him leave. But he is, after all, a weapon refiner. What if he complains to the Demon General?"

The cloud leopard glanced at him casually: "The more talented someone is, the more arrogant they are. Today, he must feel that the Demon General is deliberately humiliating him. Why would he go to see the Demon General again? Don't worry, I'll take care of anything that happens. I can handle this. Go back and continue with your work."

If Gu Yuchuan saw this scene, he would realize that this cloud leopard was the traitor of the demon race that he had seen in the simulation. Unexpectedly, he still had an intersection with Gu Yuchuan.

However, Gu Yuchuan was genuinely angry. It wasn't that he had any ill intentions towards the White Crane Demon General, but rather that he had a bad impression of his subordinate. However, since the subordinate was the Demon General's man, there was nothing he could do. He simply decided to cut off all contact with him in the future. With the Xuan Turtle Demon General as his backer, he was not afraid of the White Crane Demon General at all. Most importantly, he was capable, which was the reason he wasn't worried.
