The male supporting character was actually myself.

On the other hand, after our domesticated animals were treated with the catalyst, only one percent of them showed signs of transforming into fairies. We haven't succeeded yet, and we don't know if the artificial fairies that do succeed will continue to obey commands…”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Hongtu slumped comfortably into the leather sofa and let out a long sigh of relief. "Fortunately, there's some good news."

"Your good news will soon turn into bad news!" The little white cat grinned slyly, having already found the secret location Wu Hongtu had contacted on its phone.

In addition to the encrypted data on his computer, including various research institutes, gun factories, warehouses, and lists of people at all levels of the Demon-Catching Alliance, the fluffy dumpling stood up, stretched its back, and hopped off to "harvest."

"Let's start in the Alliance Building, there are lots of good stuff stored there!" The little white cat rubbed its paws together, its eyes shining.

Wu Hongtu's office alone had two secret doors: one was a safe house containing large quantities of water, food, weapons, and treasure; the other led directly to the headquarters vault on the sixth basement level.

The vault in the Demon-Catching Alliance building doesn't just store gold bars, jewelry, and cash; its most valuable possessions are boxes upon boxes of demon cores from various powerful demons. Any medicine made from just one of these cores would be priceless. Stored in such a secure vault, it's probably the Demon-Catching Alliance's last remaining treasure.

"Hahaha, now all these good things are mine!" The little white cat's deep blue eyes gleamed with greed. It turned its head to look at the heavily guarded, top-level combination locks and surveillance cameras, rubbed its fluffy little paws, first used its system talent to freeze the surveillance footage, and then began to plunder without restraint.

The building has 32 floors above ground and 6 floors below ground. It was designed and built by the Demon-Catching Alliance and the official authorities with huge investment. On the surface, it is grand and luxurious, but inside there are many secret passages and secret rooms.

The greedy little white cat hopped around the entire building with great enthusiasm, not even sparing the weapons and treasures stored in the small hidden compartments on the inner wall of the secret passage. With all its might, it quickly collected all the accumulations of the Demon-Catching Alliance over thousands of years in just a few minutes.

"Host, next I'm going to raid all those research centers and military factories according to the marked locations. After that, I'll have to go to all the branch offices across the country for a massive looting spree. I might be a bit busy these next few days, so don't worry about my soft and cute little Bai, I'll take good care of myself!"

The soft, sweet voice of the little dumpling came through the microphone. Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and lowered his voice, saying, "Remember to do a good job of monitoring. If there are reinforcements or other operations, you will know the situation immediately."

"Host, you've really thought this through! I'll start monitoring all their lines now!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen put it back in his pocket and deactivated the protective barrier. Then, he walked lightly and silently to Yan Mingyue's side and asked softly, "How was the Fairy Forest?"

"This is absolutely amazing! I've never seen such a beautiful scene before!" Immersed in the stunning scenery and the breathtaking view, Yan Mingyue didn't even notice that he had briefly left. She excitedly imagined, "Fairies' abilities are ever-changing. How wonderful it would be if they could be combined with modern technology!"

Then we can have green, environmentally friendly, natural, and sustainable electricity resources.

All heavily polluting chemical plants can be shut down, and cars can be powered by fuel made by fairies, eliminating pollution and the need for frantic oil extraction.

Jiang Chen, if the two races could truly cooperate, the world would be completely different!

"In that case, seventy percent of humanity would lose their jobs, and the entire human society would be in complete chaos." He casually waved his hand, and a moving image appeared in mid-air.

Fairies use their various abilities to help people build cities and improve their lives; humans protect the environment and kill evil fairies. The whole scene is vibrant and lush, with fairies living happily and even singing and dancing around a campfire with humans.

"This is a true scene from thousands of years ago. At that time, the human population was small, while fairies occupied various areas such as forests, lakes, and seas. Humans would prepare delicious cooked food to entertain the fairies, and the fairies would use various abilities to help them."

The two races once cooperated closely and happily.

Jiang Chen grabbed with his right hand and the warm scene disappeared, replaced by more and more human cities and the flames of war.

"The growth rate of fairies is very slow. After all, whether it is cultivating into a fairy or combining with spiritual essence, it requires a lot of time to accumulate. With the help of fairies, humans no longer fear natural disasters and diseases, and they began to reproduce rapidly."

In a mere century, what might seem like just a nap to the fairies could be considered a short period of time, the human population has exploded, increasing by dozens or even hundreds of times compared to before.

The small tribal city could not accommodate so many people, so they began to expand their territory.

The food supply created by the fairies was insufficient, so humans gradually cleared the forests and turned them into fertile fields.

Clever, greedy, and ambitious humans were not content with relying on fairies. They began to secretly make various inventions and creations. Gradually, humans broke free from the help of fairies and even coveted the powerful energy of the fairy cores, turning around to hunt fairies on a large scale.

Thus, the two races completely broke apart and began to wage war in secret, eyeing each other covetously.

As human society progressed and developed, its mastery of tools grew, making it increasingly powerful. Meanwhile, the fairies, who followed the way of nature and relied solely on magical power, naturally fell into a disadvantage, until in the last century they were completely reduced to prey, and some races were even wiped out.

As a human from the real world, combined with the original owner's long memories, Jiang Chen withdrew his demonic power and looked at her, explaining: "The number of humans is too large. At this stage, if demons cooperate with you, they will only become slaves."

Moreover, as a well-developed social system, the way humans operate is destined not to be too resource-efficient; otherwise, most people would lose their jobs and security, leading to unrest and even large-scale wars.

The natural law that prosperity inevitably leads to decline will never change.

When human society reaches a certain level and can no longer sustain its peak, or when war, disaster, or disease causes it to decline to a certain extent, and the fairy race rises again, perhaps the two races can once again recreate the scene of mutual assistance.

Until then, establishing a fairy guild is a more reliable option.

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Little Flower Fairy of Longling City

Yan Mingyue watched those images disappear, speechless for a moment.

He was facing a colossal demon that had existed since ancient times!

He had witnessed too many changes in the world, and probably also seen the rise, prosperity, and decline of many human tribes. One has to admit his analysis makes a lot of sense; humans… are ultimately intelligent, greedy, and ambitious.

Such a race, when interacting with carefree and innocent fairies, would definitely try to take advantage of them.

The age-old saying, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts," is actually a reflection of the essence of human nature.

There are many kind people, but there are also many greedy, shameless, and selfish bad people.

Human nature is complex. Even the kindest person can occasionally harbor resentment and greed, let alone those who are solely driven by profit.

In contrast, fairies are optimistic and content with their lot, with only a very small number falling into evil.

"The Demon-Catching Alliance these days..." she sighed, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

To help the fairies from their perspective is essentially to stand against all of humanity. How could those who have benefited from the demon cores possibly be willing to give up such a lucrative pie?

Ironically, that small group of people controls nearly 90% of the resources and power of human society.

Trying to fight for the rights of the demon race is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

“You don’t need to worry about these things, I will handle them properly.” Jiang Chen looked at her slightly worried profile, and with a thought, a bridge formed by demonic power appeared beneath her feet. He reached out and invited her, “Now I will take you to see the fairy world under the lake. There is a water palace there.”

Yan Mingyue felt the warmth of her right hand being held, and couldn't help but worry, "Would you... slaughter demon hunters?"

"Of course not." He reiterated with a slight upturn of his lips, "I will never slaughter the demon hunters. After all, I only want to follow the will of Heaven and give the remaining little demons a place to live."

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased slightly. She took a deep breath and followed him step by step along the magical bridge that had split the lake.

The emerald green lake water shimmered like a gemstone under the sunlight, and in the distance, in the deep pool, there was indeed a magnificent, crystal-clear building, as exquisite and beautiful as a dragon palace.

Small fish swam in the lake on both sides, and mermaids curiously swam over to look at them.

Completely captivated by the breathtaking scenery, Yan Mingyue was unaware that a shadow drifted away from Jiang Chen.

The clone accompanies the beauty to admire the scenery created by the fairy, while the real body instantly appears in a desolate mountain village hundreds of miles away.

"It feels really good to be a ten-thousand-year-old fox demon. This clone technique is really interesting." Jiang Chen watched as a convoy of elite demon hunters drove up the dusty, winding road, smiled slightly, and then disappeared.

The ability to create clones is a special skill that only a very few powerful demons can cultivate through their innate talent.

The original owner of this nine-tailed fox naturally used her nine tails, which had been cultivated to their peak, to forge each into a clone. In other words, in addition to her main body, Jiang Chen could also release nine clones.

It can also disconnect and reconnect with each clone at any time to share memories.

The demon-hunting operation plan and branch list information sent by the little white cat, plus the new plot where the male protagonist Ye Xuan can devour demons, all need to be solved by myself.

Using clones is obviously more efficient.

A few seconds later, the dozen or so people, who were only wearing their underwear, looked at each other in bewilderment.

The vehicles, equipment, and weapons vanished instantly, and they didn't even see a trace of the other side!

"Was it...was it done by a fairy?"

"Impossible! Fairies can't even get close to us."

"Have we encountered a ghost?"

"What happened? The vehicles and equipment are coated with a substance that can suppress demonic power. Even a ten-thousand-year-old demon would be helpless against it. How could this be?"

"So it really was a ghost after all?"

"Hey, hey, hey, we're in the middle of nowhere, the nearest town is over a hundred miles away, how are we going to get back?"

"Damn it, they didn't even leave us a pair of shoes! That's really ruthless!"

"Shouldn't we be grateful to be alive right now? We need to find a way to contact headquarters immediately!"

"Stop yelling like a bastard! There's a bunch of rat demons in that abandoned village up ahead!"

…………

While the penniless demon hunters shivered and clamored amongst themselves in the desolate wilderness, Jiang Chen, with a soul weapon wrapped around his fingers, vanished.

Meanwhile, demon hunters across the country participating in the operation were subjected to strange attacks.

No one saw what the attacker looked like, or even knew what abilities he used. He was simply pulled out of the car in an instant, and then his equipment and weapons were stripped off and he disappeared.

It only took a few seconds from start to finish.

Although the group itself was not harmed in the slightest, being stripped down to only their underwear in early spring and left in the middle of nowhere, unable to contact the outside world, and trying to reach a populated area on bare feet was a considerable challenge for the pampered demon hunters who were only skilled in weaponry.

"Having dealt with the demon hunters and the corrupt male protagonist, where is he now?"

Having eliminated all the demon-hunting teams that were on a demon-hunting mission that day, Jiang Chen sat on a treetop flipping through the script, trying to deduce Ye Xuan's location from the brief summary.

As long as we force him to refrain from devouring humans or demons to increase his strength during this period, and once the little white cat and I have completely resolved the issue of weapons and equipment for demon hunters and created the right environment for establishing the Fairy Guild, we won't have to worry about him causing any more trouble.

By then, no matter how much the script is revised, the male lead Ye Xuan will still be trapped under his control!

"Hidden beneath an ancient tower in a tourist city, it attacked and devoured two little flower fairies, successfully spawning new arms..."

There aren't many tourist cities where little flower fairies live.

The lesser demons are unable to conceal their demonic aura on their own, and they all need the help of their original owners to blend into human cities without being discovered by demon hunters.

Ye Xuan was able to find them, probably through a forced "chance encounter" thanks to the protagonist's halo.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and opened the magic artifact in mid-air, revealing a detailed map showing the locations of the minor demons whose demonic aura had been concealed and registered by the original owner.

Tourist cities, ancient pagodas, flower fairies, and Ye Xuan's escape speed calculations allowed him to quickly filter out a tourist city more than 600 miles away—Longling City.

Longling is a small tourist city with a long history.

Springtime brings vibrant colors and blooming flowers, with various flowering trees lining the city roads, attracting many tourists to take photos.

"Phew, once we finish this big flower basket, this order is all done!" A pretty girl with curly short hair and overalls wiped the sweat from her forehead, stuck out her tongue at her colleague, and whispered, "Thanks for your hard work, let's go get something delicious after we're done!"

"I want to eat hot pot!" Another girl with long, smooth black hair, fair and delicate features, and wearing a light blue dress secretly inserted two red flowers that had been cultivated with demonic power into the side of a huge flower basket woven from fresh flowers.

He then jumped down from the ladder to carefully examine his work.

"Hmm, the quality of 'Spring Blossoms' flower shop is as good as ever!"

The person in charge of the exhibition area exclaimed sincerely, "We've been cooperating for almost two years now, haven't we? Your flowers are a bit pricey, but the quality is impeccable and they bloom for an exceptionally long time. No wonder you have so many repeat customers and your business is so good!"

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Cutting Out the Tongue

The little flower fairy smiled shyly after receiving the praise, waved her hand modestly, and said, "It's alright! Flowers are very delicate and need to be carefully cared for. My sister and I just put in a little more effort than others. Thank you for taking care of our little shop all this time!"
