The staff member who had just processed the demon registration card for Brian Carter could no longer hold back and exclaimed, “This is our Lord Yuanjun! What do you mean by ‘this age’? Lord Yuanjun is already sixteen thousand seven hundred years old. When he was born, humans were still monkeys.”

Brian Carter was utterly shocked. Such an outrageous thing—he wanted to doubt it, but seeing the other staff members all stand up with serious expressions, he had no choice but to believe it. Brian Carter didn’t have a mirror in front of him, but he knew his face must look really dumb right now, so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

The handsome young man, who looked like a high school student, smiled slightly and stopped his subordinate, who was about to go on a tirade. He spoke gently, “My name is The Carter Estate, I am the Yuanjun of the Kyoto Demon Affairs Institute. Since you want to work here, I’ll arrange an easy job for you. There’s a position guarding the entrance to an abandoned virtual realm that suits you well.”

Brian Carter’s mouth fell open; he was completely at a loss for words. Even Lily Smith, who was beside him, became nervous.

This usually fearless young demon girl even showed a hint of timidity, her little face turning slightly pale. Brian Carter had no concept of the Kyoto Demon Affairs Institute or the Yuanjun, but Lily Smith was different. She had been awakened for over ten years and naturally knew how powerful the Yuanjun The Carter Estate was, and how high his status was in the Ten Thousand Demons Association, even though she had never met this Lord Yuanjun before.

The Kyoto Demon Affairs Institute governs the affairs of four provinces and two cities. Among the three palaces, six institutes, and seventeen societies directly under the Ten Thousand Demons Association, it ranks first among the six institutes, second only to the three palaces—a formidable force. The Yuanjun’s authority surpasses that of any high-ranking human official, and is not much less than the head of state of some major countries; in some respects, even more powerful.

As the Yuanjun of the Kyoto Demon Affairs Institute, The Carter Estate not only holds a high position and great power, but his personal strength is also top-tier. He ranks among the top ten in the Ten Thousand Demons Association, and among all the powerful demons on Earth, he is also in the top ten. His origins are mysterious; almost no one knows his background or identity. The official website of the Ten Thousand Demons Association only has very vague information about him, with no photo, but there are countless legends about him—he is a household name among demons.

The Carter Estate had only casually mentioned it, but the staff of the Kyoto Demon Affairs Institute immediately sprang into action, working ten times faster than before. Soon, a file was transmitted to Brian Carter’s demon registration card, and a bronze key was handed over.

He glanced through it and learned that this virtual realm had been abandoned for a long time and was no longer suitable for demons to live in. The post of guard was set up to prevent ordinary humans from accidentally entering, but since the entrance was not in any human activity area, no one had wandered in for decades. This job was truly exceptionally easy.

Chapter 10: Yuanjun The Carter Estate (Part 2)

While Brian Carter was reading the information, Yuanjun The Carter Estate smiled without saying a word. When Brian Carter finished reading, he said, “This entrance is on Demon Locust Street, which is our demon residential area—no human can enter. You just need to stay at the old house there from time to time; otherwise, you don’t need to worry about it at all. Are you satisfied with this job?”

Brian Carter nodded, about to say he was quite satisfied, but Lily Smith had already grabbed him, snatched up the bronze key for him, and said cautiously, “Please rest assured, Lord Yuanjun. I live on Demon Locust Street and will supervise his work for you.”

Before Brian Carter could say anything, Lily Smith pushed him out of the office area, leaving Yunxi Palace as well.

The Carter Estate watched the two leave and couldn’t help but smile slightly, muttering to himself, “I didn’t expect someone to awaken the bloodline of the Immortal Tree. Looks like we can open up another residential area in North City. There are too many demons now, and not enough housing to go around! It’s just a pity he hasn’t comprehended the bloodline inheritance yet—he’ll need a few more decades of cultivation.”

The Carter Estate leisurely returned to his office. After a while, the demon staff of the Kyoto Demon Affairs Institute finally dared to move, but each one was extremely cautious, as if walking on thin ice...

Lily Smith dragged Brian Carter out of Yunxi Palace, patted her chest, and said with lingering fear, “You’re really bold, daring to talk to Yuanjun The Carter Estate like that?” Brian Carter asked in confusion, “Did I say something wrong? I think Yuanjun The Carter Estate is pretty nice—a typical warm-hearted supporting character from a romance novel.”

Brian Carter felt he’d made a lame joke and couldn’t help but laugh, but when he turned to look, he saw Lily Smith’s pretty face had turned pale. The demon girl grabbed his face with both hands, slammed him against the red wall of the Forbidden City with brute force, and said coldly, “If you want to die, go die by yourself—don’t drag me down with you. Do you know who The Carter Estate is? And you still have the mood and guts to joke around?”

Brian Carter sensed something was wrong and asked, “Who is The Carter Estate?”

Lily Smith enunciated each word: “No one knows what kind of demon Yuanjun The Carter Estate is, and no one knows his origins. But all you need to know is that ten years ago, he fought the most famous great demon of Western Europe, the Sea God, in the Indian Ocean, causing a tsunami that killed over two hundred thousand people.”

Brian Carter was horrified, cold sweat breaking out all over his body. A great demon who could easily trigger a tsunami was truly terrifying.
