As Shang enters the shop, he sees Qingyang reading a book at the counter.

Qingyang: Welcome back, honey.

Qingyang waves at Shang after she looks up from her book, hearing footsteps.

Shang: Oh? Today’s your duty?

Qingyang: Yup, the other sisters are taking the dungeon duties today.

Shang: I see.... Any customers lately?

Shang looks around to see any weapons missing from their stands.

Qingyang: No, but….

Shang: But?

Qingyang: One customer came up with a strange request.

Shang: Strange request? Was it a custom job?

Qingyang: No, he requested us to release the demons which we sealed inside the weapons in exchange for any amount of spiritual stones.

Shang: That’s impossible. The demons’ physical bodies are the weapons themselves.

Qingyang: That’s right, so I told him the truth, but he didn’t believe us and try to persuade our weapons to leave with him.

Shang: That’s dumb. He failed at convincing the weapons, right?

Qingyang: Yeah, the weapons start to find him annoying, and they create invisible walls to prevent him from coming close. He attempted to take the weapons by force and the commotion brings out Sister Lu (Nanami) who toss him out of the shop. He shouted that we will regret angering the Demon Alliance before running away.

Shang: Demon Alliance (Yao Meng), huh… What is most important to me is that all of you don’t get hurt. Leave that alliance to me, I will see what I can do.

Qingyang: Okay, see you upstairs.

Shang walks slowly away from the counter to the stairs while thinking.

Shang’s thoughts: I just appeased two factions and another faction pops out… I thought this world will be more peaceful than worlds that have religions. Looks like I am totally wrong.

This main world indeed has no such religions such as Daoism and Foism but there are factions that practice the same type of regulations which religions have.

Demon Alliance is one example. Shang himself has not personally seen any demons (Yao) but he hears the good things which Demon Alliance does for demons and humans who fall in love with demons. Shang feels that it is too good to be true.

Opposed to the Demon Alliance, there is another faction who call themselves the Demon Hunt (Yao Lie). They believe demons are the scum of the land and humans who fall in love with the demons are actually either got tricked or brainwashed by them.

Shang’s thoughts: Well, whatever these factions do, I hope they don’t make a move on my beloved ones and if they do…

Shang stops in front of the stairs and starts to leak out his restrained killing intent when he lets his thoughts run wild.

Qingyang: Shang? Shang!

A few pats on the back of his shoulder and the Qingyang’s voice brings Shang thoughts back to reality, canceling out his killing intent.

Shang: Eh? Yang’er. What is it?

Shang turns to face Qingyang.

Qingyang: Are you alright? I have been calling you for a few minutes.

Shang: Sorry, I was being trapped in my thoughts for a minute. What is it?

Qingyang: Two customers at the counter are looking for you. An old man and his granddaughter. Do you do something to them? His granddaughter seems eager to see you.

Shang: Huh? I don’t remember hanging out with any girls from this world.

.

Shang’s thoughts: I am pretty I did not have any flings with any girls in this world. Not even the girls in the nearby brothel. I was still a cherry boy before I meet Nanami.

Qingyang: Only you yourself know you did it or not. Now hurry along, don’t keep them waiting too long.

Shang: Okay

Watching Shang from afar, Qingyang looks down at the sweat on her hand.

Qingyang’s thoughts: That pressure from Shang…. It has killing intent in it. Did someone anger Shang?
