CHAPTER 55: 55, DEMAND

Chen Che had the feeling that An Nishang could see through him completely for a moment.

Though he was actually completely naked.

His little thoughts couldn’t escape An Nishang, and there was more to her words than met the eye.

An Nishang sent him to the Investigation Department, which was definitely not just about solving cases.

This place had other ties, possibly a move in An Nishang’s grand plan.

He might be a pawn placed by An Nishang.

Chen Che’s mind shifted quickly, and he immediately bowed his head to kiss the Other Shore Flower tattoo on An Nishang’s back.

He used the intimate act to cover up his complex thoughts.

An Nishang’s red lips curved slightly, knowing what he was thinking, and casually said, "Just complete the task I gave you well."

Chen Che responded and thought of the Demon Scale, his eyes glinting as he asked, "Nishang, I’ve heard this Demon Scale is a necessary ingredient for creating the Demon Catastrophe Potion. It’s useless to me; do you need it?"

Offering a gift.

He obtained this thing but couldn’t eat it, making it useless to him.

An Nishang seemed to think of something and chuckled softly, "Why don’t you use it to boost your virility?"

Chen Che glanced down from An Nishang’s hips to the base of her spine. Did he need it?

He chuckled softly, biting An Nishang’s ear, "Nishang, do you think I need it?"

Jokingly, he couldn’t lose this particular trait, or how else could he capture An Nishang’s heart?

Listening to Chen Che’s flirtation, An Nishang chuckled lightly.

An Nishang pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to gain Catastrophe Abilities?"

Chen Che’s eyes flashed; finally, the conversation had reached where he wanted it to go.

Though he had extraordinary recipes provided by the system to acquire unique Extraordinary Cuisine,

everyone has desires, and Chen Che was no exception.

He didn’t want to miss out on the local Catastrophe Abilities in this world, and he deliberately brought up the topic to see if An Nishang would mention it.

He wanted to undergo this world’s Catastrophe Evolution to gain the local extraordinary abilities.

Among the various Catastrophe Abilities in this world, the safest was the Demon Calamity.

By taking the Demon Catastrophe Potion, one could undergo a Demon Calamity, communicating with one’s inner demon and summoning a demon that resonated with one’s soul.

You and this demon coexist, sharing abilities with the demon.

The evolution path afterward depends on finding materials corresponding to the summoned demon to create a higher level Catastrophe Potion, continuously evolving oneself and the demon.

However, not everyone who drank the Catastrophe Potion could summon a demon.

Some people drank the Demon Catastrophe Potion with no effect as if they had just consumed a bowl of plain water, noticing nothing unusual.

As known so far, there are fewer than 50 Demon Calamity users in the entire Night Empire.

Yet, over thirty thousand initial Demon Catastrophe Potions were consumed...

The awakening rate is 50/30000.

Moreover, not all summoned demons are of great use.

According to market rumors, over twenty of these 50 people summoned utterly useless demons.

The powers gained from different demons varied.

Even if you painstakingly find advanced materials to elevate your Catastrophe path, with a useless demon, you might still be weaker than someone else’s newly summoned demon.

Nonetheless, many people were interested in the Demon Calamity path because failure in summoning a demon didn’t carry the deadly side effects of other Catastrophe paths.

At worst, it just wasted a vial of Demon Potion.

If successful, it was a fortune. Even if a summoning resulted in a useless demon, it wasn’t a big deal.

After all, those who could use the Demon Catastrophe Potion were either wealthy or noble, and for them, keeping a demon was akin to having a pet.

Therefore, despite the vast gulf between the upper and lower limits of Demon Calamity, it still attracted many.

Chen Che’s proposal regarding the Demon Scale was not so simple; he couldn’t manufacture the Demon Catastrophe Potion but had the main ingredient.

By mentioning it to An Nishang, wasn’t this opportunity now at hand?

An Nishang, too, knew what he wanted and chuckled softly.

"You want to undergo a Demon Calamity?"

"Can’t hide it from you, Nishang." There was nothing to hide, and Chen Che readily admitted it.

"What? Planning to break free from my control?"

"Nishang, how could you think that?" Chen Che lay on An Nishang, biting her snow-white nape, "I would rather die on you than leave. I need power, just to better help you, to stand by your side..."

"A powerful Demon Calamity user wouldn’t just be your kept man anymore, but could also accompany you to places openly, not letting other men stand by your side and take my place."

An Nishang suddenly opened her eyes, her scarlet pupils glinting with charming radiance, a playful smile on her lips as she suddenly turned, "You’re quite brave. Daring to be so greedy now."

Chen Che dared to express his desire to possess her.

But this excited An Nishang greatly.

It seemed something sparked in An Nishang.

With roles easily reversed, Chen Che was pinned beneath An Nishang, who lowered her head slowly with blazing eyes, "Satisfy me, and I’ll give you this opportunity."

Just as she spoke, her fiery red lips kissed Chen Che’s chest, abs, moving downward...

Chen Che’s hands rested behind his head, his mouth curving into a smile.

This was the correct way to handle An Nishang; too meek or too aggressive wouldn’t work.

One must master this complex woman.

...

The next day.

When Chen Che got up, An Nishang had long gone. He took a shower, changed clothes, and went downstairs.

Big Dog knocked on the door; Chen Che opened it, Big Dog glanced at him and said, "Someone’s here to see you."

Chen Che looked up to see a nervous Johnny.

He waved Johnny in.

The weapons on him were all stripped by Big Dog and Second Dog.

The infamous Wildfire Johnny, who walked into this villa, felt nothing but panic, despite his ruthless demeanor.

The entire villa reeked of that terrifying woman’s presence.

But when he saw the shredded clothes hung on the corner of the sofa, particularly the black lace panties with some indescribable peculiar liquid,

his expression became quite colorful.

Looking at Chen Che, the awe in his eyes became even more pronounced.

How exactly did Chen Che interact with that demonic woman?

Chen Che sat on the sofa, glanced over, casually wadded up An Nishang’s clothes, tossed Johnny a stool, and said, "She has a cleanliness fetish. The stool is for entertaining guests; if you’re not afraid of being hunted down by her, you can sit on the sofa."

Johnny shuddered, not wanting to be targeted by this demoness, and upon hearing that, he didn’t dare touch anything else in the villa, obediently sitting on the stool.

Chen Che asked about the matter at hand: "How did the investigation I asked you to do turn out?"

"It’s done. Pandora’s distributor is indeed in the Demon Bar, a guy nicknamed Black Bear. Black Bear’s real name is Luo Qiang, and he’s well-connected. Whenever a new type of contraband appears on the market, he’s the first to get hold of it."

Almost all Pandora’s Kisses are distributed through his men.

It’s said that the effects of Pandora’s Kiss are better than any other contraband, and Black Bear has expanded several selling channels."

"Is Pandora’s Kiss produced by him?"

Johnny shook his head, "Based on my understanding of Black Bear, it shouldn’t be. Black Bear doesn’t have a factory for producing contraband; he’s just a middleman. Most people in this trade know each other’s backgrounds clearly."

Except for Black Bear; he likely has a big shot backing him, constantly supplying him with goods and keeping him out of trouble.

Moreover, I suspect the big shot behind him is someone from the Tasting Commerce Association."

"Oh?"
