"Yuan, is the demon really dead? It won't regenerate from this puddle of blood?" Qi Fang asked him once they got to him.

"I'm pretty sure that it's dead…" Yuan replied in a slightly dazed voice.

He didn't think he would be able to defeat such a powerful demon with seemingly no effort at all. Not only did his practice at the Demon Sealing Clan's Grand Library help him, but his memories as the Divine Paragon also greatly assisted him today.

'I still only have fragments of the Divine Paragon's memories. If I recover all of it, demons will no longer be a threat and will be no different than any other magical beasts…' Yuan smiled inwardly.

"Let's go back to the household now. You can tell us everything once you get yourself cleaned up." Qi Man said to Yuan.

He nodded and followed them back to the household.

Sometime later, after washing himself, Yuan met up with the Qi Family in the meeting room, and there were two more people there this time— the middle-aged man that came with the backup and a beautiful woman who looked almost like Qi Fang.

They were the current leaders of the Qi Family and Qi Fang's parents.

Once Yuan sat down, Qi Man immediately opened his mouth to speak, "After witnessing your fight today, I doubt you'll need our help with the demons at the Dragon Spiral Mountain, but since this is what we agreed on, we will help you."

Yuan then said, "You guys can prolong the seals on demons, right? I would like you to prolong the seals on the 11 demons to give us more time to prepare. The demon I fought today was much stronger than the one in the Jaded Garden, but the demons within the Dragon Spiral Mountain are even stronger than this one."

"I understand." Qi Man nodded.

The Qi Family has already been prolonging the seals on the 11 demons since ancient times, so even if Yuan didn't ask them, they would've done it anyway. Since they cannot kill the demons, their only option was to prolong their seals.

"If there's nothing else, I would like to return back home now." Yuan said a moment later.

"A-Actually, there is one thing…" Qi Man turned to look at the Manager, who nodded her head silently.

He then continued, "Yuan, I— the Qi Family has one last request for you. We'd like you to stay here a little longer as a lecturer."

"A what?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"A lecturer." Qi Man repeated.

"We'd like you to teach our demon sealers how to kill demons. As you probably already know by now, there are still more demons out there."

"Our Qi Family has tracked dozens of sealed demons across the world, but the only thing we can do is prolong their seal until their inevitable release. We want to be able to kill them just like you did today."

"W-Wait… Did you just say DOZENS of sealed demons?" Yuan had a look of disbelief on his face at this moment.

"Yes, and there could be even more that we don't know about, such as the one sealed in the Jaded Garden." Qi Man sighed.

"And you want me to teach the demon sealers in your family… I don't think I qualify…" Yuan shook his head.

"I-If you, who killed a demon, don't qualify to teach, then nobody in our family qualifies! Please! You're our only hope!"

"..."

Yuan took a moment to ponder.

After a few minutes of silence, Yuan asked him, "How long? I have to return home in three weeks."

"T-Then three— No! Two weeks is more than enough!" Qi Man raised three fingers before making it two.

Yuan nodded, "Okay, I will stay here for two more weeks to teach your Qi Family, but after that, I really have to return home."

"Thank you, Yuan!" Qi Man said with an ecstatic expression on his face.

"Then we will start tomorrow morning. I want to rest for the rest of today."

"Of course! Qi'er, bring him to his room!" Qi Man said to her.

"What? Why do I have to do that? We have servants for that…" Qi Fang frowned.

However, when she saw her grandparents and even parents' cold glares, she swallowed nervously and stood up.

"Let's go…" She said to Yuan without even looking at him.

"Did something happen between them?" Her mother asked the grandparents after they left.

"Not that I am aware of, but there's clearly something between them." Qi Man shook his head.

Meanwhile, Qi Fang brought Yuan to a small shed behind their main building, but it looked more like a place for tools than guests.

"This is my room?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"If you've got a problem with it, you can sleep outside." She coldly responded.

"Are you still mad at me for sealing you? I just wanted you to have a taste of your own medicine, that's all. Not to mention that you sealed me first."

"F-For a minute! You left me there for an entire day! Do you have any idea how terrifying it feels to be sealed for so long?! I really thought I was sealed for good!"

"In my defense, if the Chu Family didn't interrupt, I would've let you out sooner. Anyways, I helped your family defeat the demon, so let's call it even."

Qi Fang gritted her teeth in anger, but she did not release it.

After a moment of silence, she pointed at the large building not far away from the shed and said, "This doesn't mean I forgive you for what you did to me. If I let you live in this shed, my family would kill me, that's all." The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ɴovelFɪre.net

She left Yuan alone immediately afterward.

Once Yuan entered the room and locked it, he sat down on the floor and retrieved the demon core.

After staring at it for a moment, he tossed it inside his mouth and swallowed it.

Immediately, he could feel a sudden surge of chaotic spiritual energy rushing into his body.

However, this demon core tasted and felt different than usual, and it was painful.

"AAAAAHH!" Yuan suddenly released a loud roar that shook the building.
