Chapter 1161: Self-Inflicted Evils Cannot Be Escaped

Watching this guy turn into a pile of ashes, Chen Yu sighed slightly; those who court death cannot live. Zhou Tianbing had committed too many heinous acts, so it was no surprise he met this end today.

The various demons imprisoned here had all been rescued, numbering around a hundred, big and small. Liu Xian's friend, Hui Xian, had nearly been sent to the guillotine, and the honest little mouse was tearfully grateful to Chen Yu.

Looking at the vast, motley crowd before him—some of whom were still dragging tails and had not fully transformed into human form—Chen Yu suddenly felt a headache; how was he supposed to settle these guys?

Fortunately, a phone call from Su Yan relieved Chen Yu's predicament.

"Mr. Chen, Dragon Breath is already aware of the situation on your end. Long Lao sent word, saying that the higher-ups intend for you to form your own department."

"Form my own department?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled. "What does that mean?"

"It means establishing an additional cabinet. In fact, regarding Spirit beings, there has long been the saying of 'education without discrimination.' The people above had a sudden inspiration: if this power is utilized properly, it is also a force that cannot be ignored."

"That is true, 'education without discrimination'." Chen Yu nodded thoughtfully; the people at Dragon Breath were indeed thorough.

"Yes, and Long Lao believes that since the various demons have been able to break through the Heavenly Tribulation, transform into form, and enter the ranks of Cultivators, it is truly not easy. Among all living things in the world, for any Cultivator, there is no distinction between high and low, noble and base; all are but ants."

"As long as they are not extremely evil or murderous, they can all be taken for one's own use," Su Yan said.

"Alright, I understand. Does this department of mine have a name?" Chen Yu asked.

"Demon Suspension Department," Su Yan said.

"Venue? Support?" Chen Yu asked again.

"This... there is none," Su Yan said with a bitter smile. "You need to find a place yourself, and after all, since these are not humans, they cannot enter the borders on a large scale."

"An empty check. Fine, I get it," Chen Yu said, speechless.

"Additionally, Mr. Chen, you must remember that since these Spirit beings are not human, you must exercise more restraint, otherwise, there will be big problems," Su Yan cautioned worriedly.

"Precisely because they are not human, there is actually less backstabbing and intrigue; compared to humans, they are not that scary," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Since that is the case, I am relieved."

"Then I wish Mr. Chen success," Su Yan smiled slightly.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu didn't react for a long time. Demon Suspension Department—that's interesting.

At this moment, the remaining members of Dragon Breath were also being rounded up. These demons had been suppressed for a long time, and if anyone dared to resist, they were directly struck with a rod.

These rogue members of Dragon Breath would naturally be punished; someone would come to deal with them in a moment, so these matters were not things Chen Yu needed to worry about.

"Take a headcount and see if any of your kind are missing," Chen Yu said.

"A little fox is missing," someone in the demon crowd shouted.

"Yes, a little white fox who sleeps all day; she doesn't even know how to be afraid."

"Where did she go? Everyone was busy running when we came out just now and forgot about her."

The demons asked in a jumble of voices. Chen Yu was speechless; this bunch of guys were all shrewd characters. He had no choice but to say helplessly: "You all go first. I'll go back and take a look; maybe I can still find her."

Returning to the cage, Chen Yu searched several times and finally found a young girl in a corner. The girl had fair skin, a beautiful appearance, and a faint, ethereal Immortal air about her.

The girl was curled up in a ball, sleeping soundly in the corner. When Chen Yu found her, she was still looking blank, not knowing what was going on, until she saw there was no one around her, and then she suddenly woke up in a start.

The three fox tails behind her flicked slowly as she stood up, and then she asked blankly: "Where are the people? Where did everyone go?"

"Everyone has left. Do you want to keep sleeping here, or do you want to follow me?" Chen Yu was between laughter and tears; he really didn't know if this girl was thick-skinned or just not very bright.

Everyone else had been howling and rushing out the moment the door opened, but she was fine—she had just fallen asleep right here, truly thinking she was at home.

"I'll go with you, let's go quickly, otherwise they'll catch us in a moment." The girl suddenly realized that she wasn't in her own den, but in someone else's hands, which made her scream suddenly: "If we don't leave now, there will be danger."

The girl grabbed Chen Yu and hurried outside. It wasn't until she ran out of the cave's perimeter that she suddenly became alert: Chen Yu was a human...

"It's okay, the danger has been resolved," Chen Yu said with a smile. "You were quite fast when you ran, but you could actually sleep in a place like this—you really are thick-skinned."

"Ah... are you a bad person?" The girl looked at Chen Yu with some fear; she was terrified that Chen Yu was the same as those people.

"Well, I shouldn't be a bad person," Chen Yu said thoughtfully. "To be precise, I saved all of you, so how could I be a bad person?"

"Then... you are a human," the girl still looked at Chen Yu with some fear. "My mom said that when you see humans, you should stay far away, because you never know what kind of devious tricks are hidden in their bellies."

"Listening to your mother is right, but not all humans are bad people," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Chen Yu. What is your name?"

"San... Sanwei," the girl replied.

"Because you have three tails?" Chen Yu glanced at the three furry tails dragging behind her.

"Yes," Sanwei nodded.

"Then has your name always been Sanwei?" Chen Yu suddenly became interested. The Heavenly Fox Clan is born with nine tails, but the nine tails are not present from birth.

One tail represents one hundred years of Cultivation. If your strength grows fast enough, your tails will also grow quickly.

It's just that looking at this silly girl, it seems her intelligence hasn't fully opened, so she is at least three hundred years old now.

As for whether she will grow a few more tails in a short time, that is not something Chen Yu knows.

"No, my name changes as my tails grow," Sanwei shook her head and said. "Maybe in a few more years, I will become Siwei, then Wuwei, then Liuwei."

"Oh, so that's how it is," Chen Yu nodded thoughtfully. "Let's go, go see your kind."

A group of demons, led by Liu Xian, had already gathered together. Although Chen Yu had rescued them, he hadn't said he was letting them go yet.

"Chen Yu, what exactly do you mean? Are you not planning to let us go?" a demon said in a muffled voice.

"Exactly, are you pretending to be a good person, saving us from the wolf's den, only to turn around and walk into your tiger's mouth?"

"Everyone, calm down. I have some things I would like to discuss with you," Chen Yu smiled slightly.
