Chapter 152: Even so, he is still an old lecher! Black Bear Demon Heiliang!

As he spoke, Yan Liang began to look bewildered.

Behind him, the ghost and the woman were equally stunned.

"That's right... Officer... Weren't you looking for... that? Why did you run off to the underground parking lot?"

...

Who's looking for that?!

Why on earth would I want that?

Lin Yi felt his head was about to explode!

It wasn't that Lin Yi lacked purity; it was simply that the situation changed too fast, and Yan Liang and the others were talking nonsense that easily led people's minds astray!

Even though deep down Lin Yi had convinced himself that Elder An and Elder Mu were not that kind of people, with the facts right in front of him, Lin Yi had no way to argue.

Lin Yi felt that the respectable and endearing images of Elder An and Elder Mu in his heart were showing signs of collapse.

These two old rascals, how old were they, yet they still came to the Red Romance Bathhouse to do such things?

No wonder the Yan Liang in front of him was clearly a pig demon, yet he had managed to be the boss of the Red Romance Bathhouse for so many years without being killed.

Knowing full well that he was a pig demon, Elder An had still taken such good care of him. One could only imagine how deep the involvement was and how many times they had done those things!

In Lin Yi's view, when An Yingxiong had arrested that turtle demon Wu Hu back then, it was probably because he had been keeping an eye on the Red Romance Bathhouse, thereby discovering Wu Hu and taking him down along the way.

Over the past few years, the two old men, An Yingxiong and Taoist Master Mu, must have visited the Red Romance Bathhouse far too many times.

And as for this low-level pig demon Yan Liang, perhaps the very idea of building the Red Romance Bathhouse came from these two old men, An Yingxiong and Taoist Master Mu.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt a twinge of heartbreak. Just moments ago, he had been worried that coming to the Red Romance Bathhouse and being seen by acquaintances would ruin his reputation.

Never had he expected to suffer a critical blow the moment he arrived.

Although he could shamelessly use this connection to head straight to the underground parking lot and casually start his excavation work, no matter how he thought about it, it just felt wrong.

Lin Yi straightened his expression, put on a stern look, and said to the smiling Yan Liang, "Boss Yan, let me ask you solemnly: Elder An and Elder Mu come here almost every few days. Besides listening to music, do they also get up to some very vulgar and violent business? Answer me truthfully."

"Uh... No, you've misunderstood, my young friend. What I meant by that was taking a sauna, having a bath... I mean... don't let your mind wander. Even though there are top-tier beauty attendants accompanying them, it's strictly companionship; they don't engage in any illegal activities..."

Yan Liang explained hurriedly.

"I..."

Lin Yi had a strong urge to throw a punch and cripple Yan Liang on the spot, reducing him to a state where he couldn't take care of himself!

If you want to talk, just talk. But when you pause dramatically right in the middle of a sentence like that, it's just going too far.

Because of that single pause of yours, the images of Elder An and Elder Mu in my mind almost shattered completely.

Speechless, Lin Yi suddenly thought... If they didn't do *that*, but just had gorgeous beauty attendants accompany them around, that was still wrong!

Their intentions were utterly malicious too!

Wait!

Lin Yi suddenly thought of a solution: whenever Elder An and Elder Mu saw him, they always insisted on pushing their granddaughters onto him. From now on, he wouldn't be afraid anymore; he could use the affair of the Red Romance Bathhouse to launch a counter-attack.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi chuckled inwardly.

"Haha... Old Pig... Old Pig... Come on out, I've got good news for you... It's me, Heiliang... I've got a supreme stroke of fortune to deliver to you!"

Suddenly, a loud laugh echoed from outside the door.

Just by hearing the voice, one could tell that the person arriving was in high spirits. Moreover, this fellow must have been extremely familiar with Yan Liang, actually calling him "Old Pig."

Just as Lin Yi was having these thoughts, he felt the *Sutra of Beheading Gods* begin to stir.

The commotion made by the *Sutra of Beheading Gods* this time was much, much greater than when he had encountered Yan Liang or the female ghost whom Yan Liang claimed as his daughter.

Because the fellow arriving was an even more powerful demon or ghost.

Only the sound of "pa pa pa pa pa pa" could be heard as the *Sutra of Beheading Gods* continuously turned its pages, until finally, a grayscale image appeared on a certain page.

In that grayscale image, a large black bear materialized.

The bear was even wearing a shabby little crown.

The little crown resembled the golden headband of the Monkey King, embedded with what looked like green gems that sparkled with golden light and the brilliance of emerald-green jewels.

The fur of this bear looked extremely tough, each strand sharp as a needle!

The grayscale image of this black bear was a full three times larger than that of the low-level pig demon Yan Liang.

And as the grayscale image flashed, Lin Yi's consciousness shifted, projecting into the mystical space and onto the page of the *Sutra of Beheading Gods* resting on the stone table. He could clearly sense that within this page and inside the grayscale image, waves of extremely violent auras kept surging from the black bear's picture.

However, although this black bear looked sharp-toothed, ferocious, fierce-furred, and possessed a violent aura, it was... rather short in stature.

The height of this black bear was different from that of the common large brown bears.

This black bear was a shortie.

Probably measuring around one meter sixty-seven centimeters.

It looked somewhat stunted.

Its eyes were scarlet red, and its teeth were somewhat yellowed, stained like tobacco remnants.

Within the grayscale image, this rather short black bear stood upright, its two hands constantly slapping against its chest with loud slaps.

Eventually, the bear opened its maw widely, and plumes of smoke mixed with sparks continuously billowed out from its mouth.

Listening to the "whoosh, whoosh" sounds, Lin Yi seemed to sense some unusual noises within the exhaled smoke.

Sure enough, within the grayscale image, flames were actually spewing from the black bear's mouth!

Boundless fiery light swept in all directions!

And lo and behold, this black bear possessed supernatural powers; it could be considered to have a minor innate talent!

"Low-level black bear demon. Cultivation age: one hundred and twenty-three years. Proficient in: black bear transformation, fire-breathing, illusions. Humans killed: three hundred and seven. Deserves death."

Because the grayscale image of this black bear demon was obviously much stronger than the pig demon Yan Liang and his daughter the female ghost, the profile information that appeared was slightly more detailed.

Initially, Lin Yi had sensed that this black bear demon looked quite violent and probably wasn't a good bird.

Now that the information was out, it proved to be true: three hundred and seven humans killed was already enough for Lin Yi to wipe out this black bear demon.

With a loud "clang," just as Lin Yi was checking the image of the black bear inside the *Sutra of Beheading Gods*, the door in front of him was violently slammed into.

Obviously, the black bear demon standing outside seemed to hold a deep contempt for the pig demon Yan Liang, as could also be judged from the arrogant words shouted earlier.

Now, acting completely uninhibited, it had even started smashing the door directly.

With that kind of strength, the noise of the door being battered was tremendous; a large dent had probably already been punched into it, yet the black bear demon remained brazenly reckless.

"Not good..."

The low-level pig demon Yan Liang, who had just been chatting amiably with Lin Yi, turned pale in an instant. Immediately afterward, Yan Liang sidled up to Lin Yi's ear and whispered anxiously.

"Not good, not good. The monster coming here is Heiliang, a black bear demon. Little brother, you must hold your temper. In a moment, just say you're a friend of mine, please, I'm begging you. This black bear demon is extremely vicious and will... at the drop of a hat. Moreover, this black bear demon is a demon and ghost close to the Grandmaster level, practically S-class... Don't ever fight with it, or you'll die. You're so young, let's not be afraid of swallowing our pride..."

Yan Liang's expression was frantic and flustered as he spoke to Lin Yi.

He urged Lin Yi to be patient and endure.

Right at that moment, the door was battered even more violently.

"Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud."

It looked as though the door was about to be smashed to pieces.

The rough voice of the black bear demon came from outside, "I say, Old Pig, what's wrong with you? Open the door for me right now, or do you believe I'll smash your door to pieces?"

"Coming, coming! It's just that I have a friend here, otherwise how could I keep you out? It's been nearly a year since we last met, how come you suddenly showed up..."

Yan Liang bowed with cupped hands while making a gesture to Lin Yi, signaling him once more to bear with it, and pushed Lin Yi to stand next to his wife and daughter.

Following that, Yan Liang unlatched the door.

The moment Yan Liang pulled the door open, the black bear demon outside, the fellow named Heiliang, appeared in the doorway.

Black smoke billowed all over the black bear's body. Although he wasn't tall—only about one meter seventy—the bear arms exposed outside looked strong, powerful, and very thick.

He wore a robe that looked imposing and majestic, resembling a suit of armor, and every step he took produced a rattling, chain-like sound.

However, unlike Yan Liang, who maintained a human appearance, this black bear presented itself entirely in the form of a bear.

This black bear demon was proficient in illusions. Like most demons and ghosts, even without much disguise, its mastery of illusions prevented ordinary people from noticing anything special at a single glance.

That was the power of illusions.

However, maintaining such an illusion required a constant consumption of ominous energy.

Therefore, most demons would disguise themselves. For instance, the Yan Liang in front of Lin Yi appeared to be a bald, chubby man, but in reality, Yan Liang used an exquisite mask to wrap himself into a human shape.

Even without any illusions, Yan Liang looked like a human.

Yet once you ripped that mask off, Yan Liang was nothing more than a pig!

"Hmph, Old Pig, taking so damn long to open the door, I thought something happened. Oh? Looks like you really do have a guest here... Tsk tsk... This friend of yours is a bit interesting. I can sense that although he's young, he carries the aura of a cultivator. Hey, kid, you wouldn't happen to be a cultivator, would you? Can you see through my true form as Black King Heiliang?"

"Hehehe..."

The black bear demon's eyes flashed like lightning as he cast his gaze toward Lin Yi.

Its naturally scarlet eyes now looked even larger, carrying a soul-captivating sensation.

Layers of black smoke rolled off the black bear's body, enveloping Lin Yi.

This was a test.

Yet clearly, it scared the wits out of Yan Liang.

Yan Liang blurted out anxiously, "Old Hei, you can't do this!"
