The speaker's voice was rough, as if rough stones were rubbing against the undulating Gobi Desert. It was also like the low roar of a hairy monster in the night. Just listening to this voice could make one's whole body covered in goosebumps.

Summoning up the courage to follow the voice, the figure standing under the street light would, at first glance, be mistaken for a burly man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. If not scared away, upon closer inspection, one would discover that it was actually...still a burly man...wait, what? A woman?

"Kan Yu, stop making fun of me."

Facing this terrifying-looking woman, Tang Mingtuo showed no signs of fear, but rather a great deal of joy, smiling happily. With a wry smile on his face, he walked confidently towards her.

When he reached her side, Tang Mingtuo immediately embraced this woman with a strong and powerful figure, as terrifying as a fierce female demon. Although the hug was somewhat forced.

"After all, it's late at night and I'm going to a girl's house. Can't I make fun of you a little?"

"Okay, okay, as long as you're happy, Leader~"

"And she's a cute girl."

"Compared to Kan Yu, she's like a candle in the presence of the moon, moss in the presence of flowers."

"Hmph, smooth-talker."

"No, I'm just speaking the truth."

This remark amused Yu, and she finally put away her unhappy expression. However, even with a smiling face, her current disguise was still quite frightening, especially in the late hours of the night. From a distance, she looked like a fearsome demon walking in the night. Timid people would have been scared to death.

Now, standing next to the handsome Tang Mingtuo, the scene was even more eerie. But here, we have to use the term "bantering."

After the playful banter, they began to discuss serious matters.

"Did everything go according to plan...?"

Yu asked.

She was obviously aware of the events of the night and was also a participant.

"Yes, thanks to your tactics."

Tang Mingtuo replied as he gently stroked Yu's head.

If it were another couple, this kind of interaction would look sweet. But with Tang Mingtuo making this head-patting gesture to a night demon nurse who was almost as tall as him, it looked as if he was touching the head of a black bear, which was quite terrifying.

"Good that it went according to plan."

Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"If it wasn't for your stubbornness, this wouldn't have been so complicated."

"Even though we were trying to protect them, we had to pretend to be the bad guys."

Yu's voice was full of blame.

"There's no other way. Given Manranyama Aoren's personality, if we tried to help her with good intentions, she would have become suspicious, right?"

Tang Mingtuo's words silenced Yu's dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, you're just too kind."

Actually, it didn't silence her.

"They didn't have a choice."

"Even if they were suspicious, they had to agree."

Yu had an expression that said, "See, I'm right," and her nose almost touched the sky.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, you win."

"Hmph, I always win."

Tang Mingtuo stopped arguing and grinned as he took Yu's hand, leading her back home.

"This is just the beginning, there will be much more to come."

"Well, at least we have taken a step further away from our grandfather's influence."

Plans always take root in the dark of night and sprout and grow in the daylight.

Beneath this seemingly peaceful sky, a storm is about to unleash."
