Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 122 - Unable To Offend

Following this question, a man who appeared to be in his late thirties emerged from the ground with a stern expression. His body was of a brownish-yellow colour whilst several black vertical lines ran the length of it.

He didn’t waste any time and asked Yang Fuyou, “Where are they?”

****

“A Nitu Demon? Ah, you’re from the Infernal Myriad Ground Clan. Are you intending to buy or sell some wares today?” asked Yang Fuyou with a smile. Though he was a human himself, because he spent so much time amongst the demons, he could instantly deduce the origins of most of the demons he came across.

The Nitu Demon before him glunched at his words, “You speak too much!”

Boom!

With a wave of his hands, several spikes shot up from the ground intending to impale Yang Fuyou!

Yang Fuyou stared at him with that same warm summer breeze-like smile, “Are you intending to cause trouble at the Qian Dao Sect’s auction house?” he asked.

“Hmph!” The Nitu demon snorted as he continued his attack.

“Wait!”

A shout of panic came from behind the Nitu Demon, which caused the latter to look behind him and, after seeing no one, turned his gaze upwards. At that moment, a shadow broke through one of the windows of the Qian Dao Sect!

The figure flew in an arc over the head of the Nitu demon in an odd posture. “What is that?”

Before long, the figure fell to the ground with a crash before it slid a great distance, coming to a stop at the side of Yang Fuyou.

At this, everyone, and I mean everyone, was staring at this new arrival with an odd expression.

“H-Hu Guan?” in the end, it was Yang Fuyou who broke the silence when he saw his bodyguard.

Now, you may ask, why did Hu Guan’s arrival and subsequent state attract so much attention?

Easy, from the moment that Hu Guan blasted through the window, sliding on the ground like a drunk driver’s fate, before arriving beside Yang Fuyou, he maintained a kowtow position. The same kowtow position he offered to Long Di, which the latter didn’t address because of his pettiness.

However, Hu Guan couldn’t care about what people thought of him at the moment, he had to act! “Great sir of the Infernal Myriad Ground Clan, please have mercy on our auction house’s head!”

The Nitu Demon’s expression changed greatly when he heard this, “Auction House Head!?”

Dum!

The spikes stopped mere inches from Yang Fuyou’s body.

“Hngh!”

The Nitu Demon took several steps back because of the minor injury he suffered a while ago. There was naturally a backlash to bear when one suddenly pulled back such an attack.

Luckily, the attack was a relatively bearable one. If it was much more powerful, the backlash he would face would be many times greater.

Though the previous proceedings took a time and a half to describe, the actual actions took place within the span of several breaths.

Yet, why was this? The Nitu demon obviously knew that Yang Fuyou and Huli Ruo were members of the Qian Dao Sect in one way or another. So why did hearing what Hu Guan had to say cause him to pull back his attack even at the risk of suffering such injuries?

The answer was quite simple. Who among those who held true power didn’t know the terrible implications involved with offending the Qian Dao Sect?

Maybe by killing an insignificant attendant, one could get away with it if one’s background was powerful enough. This was why the Nitu demon attacked Yang Fuyou a few moments after meeting him.

He thought that the auction house head was someone middle-aged.

Yet, this odd man in the kowtow position referred to Yang Fuyou as the manager!? What could he say if he attacked and killed the Qian Dao Sect’s auction house head!?

Plus, with how young this person was, he had to be someone to whom the Qian Dao Sect was paying great attention to.

It was these thoughts running through his head in a flash that compelled him to stop his attacks in a hurry, even though such an action caused a small backlash.

He then stared at Yang Fuyou in silence for a moment before saying. “Can you bear the consequences of allowing such a thing to escape?”

Yang Fuyou’s smile never left his face the entire time. “I have no idea what you’re referring to. I am simply a humble manager running a business. If you are not here to conduct any sort of business, then I wouldn’t be able to entertain you any longer, and can only ask you to leave.”

The Nitu demon stared at him for a bit, then at Huli Ruo for a moment longer and then lastly at Hu Guan. His face twitched at the sight and couldn’t understand why such a cultivator was doing such a thing.

Plus, even though he was beside Yang Fuyou, he was kowtowing in the direction behind Yang Fuyou while his butt faced the Nitu demon.

“Separate!”

After shouting this, the Nitu Demon stopped paying attention to him and sank into the ground before disappearing from view.

At the same time, the several auras that locked down the area vanished as well, causing the pressure that bore down on everyone to disappear.

Huli Ruo plopped down on her butt as soon as she relaxed, her knees weak from the experience, “That was so scary. I honestly thought I was going to die!”

“We need to make preparations,” Yang Fuyou advised. Even his back was soaked with cold sweat at the moment. The earlier experience made a huge impression on him.

“I knew that we had a few moles in the auction house, but I didn’t think he had a Nymph with him. If I didn’t act fast enough, he wouldn’t be able to leave. I’m glad I’m leaving here. I can build my open team of people I trust in the future.”

“You’re going to interfere even further in these muddled waters, Yang Fuyou?” asked Hu Guan..

“Of course I am. I made a gamble and I’m going to see it thro… can you not just stand and speak like a normal person? I’m sure whatever existence is behind Long Di wouldn’t bother with making things hard on you,” he said, feeling it was odd to talk to someone in such a manner.

“You think so?” he asked.

“I do,” Yang Fuyou replied.

“Hmm, I-I’ll do it a bit longer, just to be safe,” Hu Guan stated.

Yang Fuyou was speechless. For how much longer would he need to converse with his own bodyguard in this manner? Huli Ruo, on the other hand, was barely keeping her laughter contained at the moment.

“Do whatever you want,” Yang Fuyou said with a sigh.

He then looked towards Huli Ruo with a tender gaze, bereft of the lust seen in others. He extended a hand to her as he spoke in a soft voice. “Let’s go Ruo’er, we’ll be able to move to the next level with everything we’ve accrued.”

“En!” she replied, a bashful smile on her face, as she took his hand.
