The bloody limbs flew up, and the scene scared Big John and the Loweland mother so much that they screamed. They wanted to rush over to Xia Nuoya, kneel down and beg for mercy, and hid behind Chu Yan and his group.
But the wolf spirits had already blocked their way, leaving no chance for any complications.
"Xianuoya, if you don't take action, the Loweland family will be destroyed!"
"Sister, at least you grew up eating the family's food, and father also gave you a place to live, getting rid of the original shabby house..."
The voice begging for mercy was so affectionate and loud. If Xia Nuoya was in this place and really had some warm memories with these people, she might have taken action.
But as she turned over and over in her memory, the laughter of her childhood was always accompanied by her mother's figure, which made it increasingly difficult for her to feel any sympathy.
The knight girl sighed in her heart.
Chu Yan heard her sigh and thought she had changed her mind, so he quickly stretched out his hand to cover her eyes and said:
"Xianuoya, you have to think carefully. We only have this one chance to come back. If you regret it and want to come back and beat them up, you won't have the chance anymore!"
"No, you think I'm a good person... Even if this first wife, Mrs. Loweland, didn't like me and my mother back then, as long as she didn't target us and simply ignored our existence, I can help them now."
This one-sided beating finally stopped when Earl John surrendered.
Big John took the two demon hunters to the treasury in the mansion and paid them a huge reward for clearing out the monsters.
Chu Yan and the others were stunned. They thought it was a big disagreement, but it turned out to be about delayed salary...
Are the Loweland mother and son also geniuses or the reincarnation of a miser?
He was beaten half to death before he begged for mercy and paid.
Chu Yan thought of Xia Nuoya’s forbidden magic, which was the “treasure” taken out from the family treasury, and wondered if there was anything else.
It just so happened that he also wanted to talk to these two demon hunters about the demons.
Chu Yan took the initiative to approach him, and tried to find a topic to start the conversation. He asked, "I'm a little curious about the past between you two. Can I listen to some gossip?"
The wolf girl in the lead thought about it and felt that she had no room to refuse, so she could only believe that the other party had no ill intentions.
She nodded and said, "Okay."
Chapter 1: The Royal Family of the Demon Clan (Part )
From the mouths of these two wolf-wolf demon hunters, Chu Yan first learned about their past with the people of the Loweland family.
A while ago, the situation of monsters in the Loweland territory became increasingly worse and it was already beyond redemption, so Big John was forced to spend a huge amount of money to hire a powerful enough monster hunter.
These two wolf girls operate under code names and hide their real names.
The leader is called "Sand Wind" and his servants are called "Grass Thorns".
The history of the Loweland territory is all about saving. As time went by, their daughter, Shanuoya, was able to handle these troubles, but in the end, more and more money was spent.
But the worst thing happened. After the two demon hunters had cleared most of the monsters, they wanted to pay part of the money to the Loweland family first, but the Loweland family refused to pay.
Because somehow Loweland and his son discovered the witcher's identity as a demon and turned around to threaten him. If you don't want to attract church clergy, just leave and don't even think about making a penny from Loweland.
This threat might have been effective in the past, but not now.
The two demon hunters traveled along the way and knew very well that the church had withdrawn all the clergy, and threats were useless.

"So that's what happened. I asked about the situation in Tulip City and heard that the demons were persecuting the nobles here. It seems they were asking for their wages..."
Chu Yan admired Luo Weilan and her son more and more.
The earl's current situation is inseparable from his self-righteous cleverness.
He was so "smart" that after offending the witcher, he still dared to threaten him in front of him.
"How much reward did the Loweland family offer?" Chu Yan was curious.
"5000 gold coins, but we haven't cleaned up all of them, so we'll only charge 3500 gold coins." The female demon hunter Shafeng said, somewhat regretfully.
Taking into account the costs of medicine, repairs and the like, the profit is not much.
"The price sounds like a lot, but it's what we agreed on. And there are more than three elite monsters in the territory. They're not particularly strong species of monsters, but they're not easy targets either," the servant Cao Ci added.
The only one who followed Chu Yan back to the family mansion was Xia Nuoya. The others were afraid that if they followed, it would put too much pressure on the two wolf girls and they might be regarded as "black robbing black".
Bringing only Shanoya was a gesture of goodwill towards them.
Xia Nuoya was walking behind Chu Yan. When she heard that so many elite monsters had appeared in her hometown, she was surprised.
"Three heads? What happened here? Why are there so many?!"
"Normally, there shouldn't be so many, but these monsters grew up naturally. The people of the Loweland family don't care and think that the monsters will kill each other." Shafeng expressed his judgment.
Chu Yan almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
The mentality of Loweland and his mother is that they don't need to worry about weak monsters, because other monsters will come to kill them.
The result is that the monsters live a peaceful life and grow to elite level without any harm.
Then these 5000 gold coins are indeed worth spending, and not a single penny is wasted.
The four of them walked into the underground treasury of the Loweland family. The two demon hunters were very practical and directly found the box where the gold coins were stored. After opening it, they frowned.
Not enough money.
Looking at the state of the territory, the two demon hunters did not expect to be able to fill up the mountains of gold coins in one glance, but they did not expect that they could not even fill a box.
There was less than half a box of gold coins in it.
In this world, because there are many countries, different currencies, and even the sizes of gold coins are different, when calculating gold coins, except for the most commonly used adventurer currency [Meduso Gold Coin] which can directly reflect the value, the others have to be calculated by weight.
3500 gold coins, it’s impossible that even half a box wouldn’t be enough.
Looking outside the treasure house, Loweland and his mother were wearing bright and new clothes.
So, are they just using the money they saved from being stingy to make themselves more comfortable?
"I can only use something else to pay off the debt. This box only has about 2000 gold coins."
The two demon hunters knocked down some more gems from the collection, and when they felt that they had enough, they decided to leave.
Chu Yan stopped the two of them at this time and said:
"Shafeng, Caoci, ladies, let me make my position clear. I have no ill will towards the demons. Can you please sit down and talk with me first?"
To be honest, the two demon hunters really didn't want to stay too long, because Chu Yan and his group were completely unknown to them!
They were extraordinary in sensing magical auras, and during the time they spent together in the treasury, they also smelled the dragon-born magic in Chu Yan.
The ingredients are not right, and he is someone you can’t afford to offend!
Gotta leave quickly!
But Chu Yan said clearly that he wanted to stay, so he couldn't leave even if he wanted to...
"What do you want to talk about?" Shafeng responded melancholy.
Several people sat down at the table and chairs in the treasure house.
Chu Yan formally introduced himself, claiming to be the descendant of the Longyan family. The two demon hunters had not heard of this and looked confused.
Who of you has never heard of it...
When talking about the Lord of the Dead Sea, the two were surprised. They didn't expect that the person in the legend would appear in front of them.
I’ve heard so much about you!
Chu Yan didn't know whether he should be happy or not. He always felt that it was a bit embarrassing to be the main descendant of a large dragon clan.
"Ahem, I want to ask, are there any rumors related to the Celestial Spirit Clan in the Demon Clan?"
"Never heard of it." Shafeng shook his head.
"I have traveled with Lord Shafeng for many years, and I have never heard of this tribe even in other places on the continent." Cao Ci continued.
...Could it be that I am overthinking, and the Demon Race has nothing to do with the Celestial Race, and the Celestial Race has really been extinct over the years?
Chu Yan felt like sighing, but he didn't give up:
"Among the demons, are there any members like this... born with a strong affinity for the magic in the world, extremely intelligent, able to instruct others on their magic development at will, with a short lifespan, but very disgusted with dusk."
This time, the two demon hunters finally had unexpected expressions in their reactions.
As they listened, a similar answer emerged in their minds.
"Yes, curse the sage."
"What is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" Chu Yan was at a loss.
“These are the children of destiny who randomly appear among the demons. Whichever tribe has a new Cursed Sage born will soon become the new royal family of the demons.
But the Curse Sage is not just disgusted with dusk, he only likes the night and hates the coming of dawn and dusk.

. "
The wolf girl Shafeng spoke a lot, which was rare, and Chu Yan felt embarrassed for her.
Her servant Grass Thorn continued to add key information, in unison:
"The Curse of the Sage can be understood as a sign of the emergence of a new Demon King clan. The Demon King clan can prosper for hundreds of years, but the Curse of the Sage himself usually only has a lifespan of less than 30 years.
This generation of demon kings is the succubus clan, but the cursed sage died more than ten years ago."
Succubus?
This feeling is good!
Author's note: I'll update another chapter later
Chapter 1: The Succubus Royal Family (Part )
Chu Yan took a while to figure out what the wolf girl meant.
In general perception, the concept of demons encompasses many ethnic groups, just like the general term "demi-humans" covers many races of beast-eared girls.
The royal family among the demons did not emerge through conquests and killing, but rather through a lottery-like method. The appearance of the [Cursed Sage] among that group must mean that the strength of this group is rapidly increasing.
It was like a powerful blessing that fell upon this group of people. The speed of cultivation accelerated, and suddenly it seemed as if they were filled with talented people.
The other demons had lost hope long ago, so there was no need for them to fight for it.
Because it can't be beaten at all.
After the royal family is determined, the new Demon King will only appear among this family. The other demons can only take sides and see who they support can become the new Demon King and bring their family members to heaven.
But as to how the "demon clan" and "other clans" were divided, it seems difficult to explain clearly until now, and it has become a historical mess.
Some sub-humans can normally join the Crystal Forest system and become one of the so-called "non-demon races", but some cannot.
The ethnic group itself has the label of demons, so people will be wary of them no matter how they look at them.
You have to say that demons are aggressive by nature, but can't these two demon hunter ladies communicate quite normally?
Except for some who were a little fierce when asking for debts, they were all intelligent creatures who were able to remain calm and sit down and have a good talk.
"It has only been a year or two since the demons have unified themselves, but to be honest, it's a bit late. The Crystal Forest has already discussed the matter of the Tower of Babel, right?"
"Cao Ci and I were the defeated tribe among the demons, but we were still in seclusion at the time. As soon as we came out, we heard that we were the defeated tribe in the 'Demon Tribe Kingship War' and had to venture out into the world."
Sha Feng chatted a few more sentences, and her words gradually became more and more. She was like an old man at the entrance of the village, and would only open up when it came to some big political affairs.
If her experience were placed on Chu Yan's side, it would definitely be the opening chapter of "The Prince's Revenge".
However, Shafeng had no intention of fighting back.
Because it's impossible!
The clan blessed by the [Cursed Sage] is invincible among the demons and has no chance of winning.
Instead of obsessing over impossible revenge, it is better to live your own life well, hunt demons when it is time to hunt demons, and collect debts when it is time to collect debts.
"In the demon clan, contracts cannot be violated, even by the contract master. But I didn't expect that when I came to places outside the demon clan's territory, there were many people who did not abide by the contract..."
The wolf girl Shafeng's complaints were filled with a hint of despair, because she was truly disgusted.
The Loweland Territory was not their first debt collection experience, and it would definitely not be the last.
Chu Yan listened for a long time and found it difficult to refute, so he asked again:
