This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 97: Can I Also Issue Tasks?

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Can I Also Issue Tasks?

"Commander Wu, this is Lord Liang Yi from the Taoist Sect, and he wants to acquire a Secret Realm Pass." Wang Lingfeng said respectfully towards the desk-bound, bearded burly man.

"Oh? So you’re Liang Yi? The rumor has it that the Banished Immortal, Lord of the Heavenly Cycle, and the Sword Master all once quarreled about taking you as a disciple?" Wu Yangshuo, who resembled Li Kui more, bellowed in a loud voice.

"Where did that come from?" Liang Yi felt as though he had only been away half a day yet the whole world had changed.

"Hahaha! Quite modest, aren’t you? The rumors said that the Banished Immortal, Lord of the Heavenly Cycle, and the Sword Master occasionally fought just because initially the Banished Immortal wanted to take you as a disciple, and the other two lords didn’t approve, right? Seeing you today, I think the rumors don’t do you justice; you look even more striking than described!"

Wu Yangshuo’s voice was so loud that several nearby buildings could hear him, attracting many arrest officers who wanted to catch a glimpse of this legendary talent whose looks and strength had caused three major leaders to clash.

Crowding at the door and windows, they could only see Liang Yi’s back and side profile.

But just from his silhouette alone, everyone felt that it was filled with the mysteries of the Great Dao, harmonizing with nature, his power profoundly unfathomable. Looking at his side face, they thought even heavenly deities could not compare. Several female arrest officers even blushed, seemingly smitten.

Feeling the intense gaze from behind, Liang Yi maintained a serene smile, impressing even Wu Yangshuo, who was used to seeing prodigies, silently commending his composure.

"What nonsense about those three leaders fighting over me; wasn’t it just my master trying to foster good relations with them? What does that have to do with me!" Liang Yi expressed his innocence, annoyed at being dragged into such things.

"Are you guys so free you have nothing better to do? Huh? Should I find you some tasks to handle?" Wu Yangshuo turned from a warm face looking at Liang Yi to a fierce look, roaring at the doorway and windows.

"Run! Run! Boss Wu is angry again!"

Wu Yangshuo held the same rank as Ying Tianxing, except Ying Tianxing led the Shadow Guard and Wu Yangshuo led the arrest officers. Known among them as "sharp-tongued but soft-hearted," he spouted harsher words than anyone else but would go all-out to assist his subordinates when needed.

Thus, people in the Mystic Bureau weren’t really afraid of this fierce-looking boss.

"Truly a paragon among men, Young Hero Liang, your arrival at the Mystic Bureau has indeed created this grand scene," Wu Yangshuo said with a bright, joking smile, flashing his white teeth. Even someone like him couldn’t help wanting to establish a good relationship. Moreover, Liang Yi was quite charming—no, wrong word—his charisma was simply too irresistible, making him quite likeable.

"You flatter me, Commander Wu." Liang Yi, who had undertaken a few tasks from Wu Yangshuo in his past life, knew of his straightforward and hearty personality, holding a positive reputation among his subordinates and the people of Qingliang.

"Commander Wu, I’m here to complete a task."

Just then, a figure slipped through the door. Showing no awe toward Wu Yangshuo, he nonchalantly walked over.

"Oh, wait over there for a bit. Once I’m done attending to my distinguished guest, I’ll find some other tasks for you." Wu Yangshuo gestured to the man, indicating that Liang Yi was the priority now.

The man didn’t mind and simply took a seat, curiously observing everyone in the room.

After glancing at Liang Yi, he looked away, only to do a double-take the next moment, rubbing his eyes in astonishment and quickly turning on his camera system.

"Damn! Look who I’ve bumped into!"

He had seen that blazing hot post on the player forum; Bai Xiaomo checked it nearly fifteen times daily, only then could he sleep after seeing Su Youyi’s divine visage.

He also vowed in his post, stating his opposition to this marriage by real name, determined to leverage the favorability system to sideline Liang Yi and win over Su Youyi.

But the comments below were filled with various mockeries:

"People say it’s a perfect match made in heaven when lovers are equally charming. Since when is it your turn, a demon, to object?"

Yet now upon encountering Liang Yi in person, he truly felt that the couple was indeed a perfect match made in heaven. The moment he saw Liang Yi, he believed that only someone like him was worthy of his goddess.

Instant heartbreak!

"Boo hoo, can’t Valentine’s Day involve some cheerful and enjoyable scenes for me?" Bai Xiaomo thought with some sadness.

Liang Yi was also surprised; he really didn’t expect a player to connect with the Mystic Bureau so soon.

Taking the Secret Realm Pass from Wu Yangshuo, Liang Yi pointed to Bai Xiaomo, who was sulking in the corner, and asked:

"I see this gentleman has a unique demeanor, may I ask who he is?"

"Oh, he’s a human born from an anomaly of the Heavenly Dao. I got curious and picked one at random to bring over. He has an odd personality but, just like the notice said, he’s extremely enthusiastic and willing to do any task. Since the Mystic Bureau is a bit short-staffed recently, I let him help with some things even ordinary people can do."

Wu Yangshuo beamed, finding these Abnormal People, although not strong, exceedingly useful. They handled tasks very efficiently and didn’t even require payment. He was now considering recruiting more Abnormal People into the Mystic Bureau.

"So this is an Abnormal Person, huh? This is my first time seeing one," Liang Yi said, feigning curiosity as he examined Bai Xiaomo.

The attention from such a high-profile and mysterious Boss Liang even made Bai Xiaomo feel flattered. He had already used the Investigation Technique earlier, and this Liang Yi turned out to be a golden name bigshot, the shining golden name practically blinding him!

The one giving him tasks, Wu Yangshuo, who seemed quite high-ranking, was merely a Purple Name and even showed a hint of respect towards Liang Yi.

In his understanding, since both of their attributes and levels were question marks, it naturally meant that the higher the quality, the more badass one was.

"My friend, would you be interested in accompanying me to observe the sect competition at Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty?" Liang Yi invited, wanting to see if his NPC template could issue tasks.

Bai Xiaomo’s eyes glazed over for a moment—a reaction Liang Yi recognized as someone looking at the task panel when accepting a quest.

"Ding! Player has triggered the quest [Liang Yi’s Kind Invitation]!"

[Liang Yi’s Kind Invitation]: A disciple of the Banished Immortal is somewhat curious about your existence and wishes to understand you better, thus inviting you to accompany him to the preliminary selection of the sect competition at Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty.

[Task requirement: Follow Liang Yi for a while.]

[Task reward: Experience 2000]

"Of course! I’d love to!" Bai Xiaomo’s body trembled with excitement, vaguely feeling like he had grasped the coattails of a truly significant figure. The reward for this task alone was a four-digit experience value; previously, the minor tasks he did barely yielded a couple hundred, and many other players were still exploring.

From now on, he would be Boss Liang’s number one hype man. From now on, Liang Yi was his big brother! If anyone dared say his big brother and sister-in-law weren’t suited, he’d go up and kick!

"My big brother and sister-in-law are a match made in heaven; is it your place, you demons and ghosts, to oppose?"

"Brother Wu, this pass allows bringing people in, right?" Liang Yi, just to be safe, cautiously asked.

"Of course; as long as you have the pass, you can bring as many people as you want," Wu Yangshuo said, not minding at all that Liang Yi was taking his labor. After all, he could just stroll down the street and pick out anyone who walks with a bounce as an Abnormal Person, if not just pull a few from the jail.

"The sect competition at Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty? What’s that? Oh well, let’s upload this video first and see, hahaha, finally it’s not me sucking lemons!" Bai Xiaomo, looking at the prompt on the task panel, felt like he was headed somewhere incredible.
