Chapter 761: Respect Is Still Not Enough

“Bring him back and let him rest in the demon division,” Xu Fan said. After all, he was his demon, and he needed to be taken care of.

“Once he recovers, let him serve as the inspector for the demon division,” Xu Fan added, recalling the pangolin’s earlier behavior.

“Understood, Master.”

A Small Spiritual Boat carried the injured pangolin as it flew through the two realms toward Hidden Spirit Island.

The pangolin on the spiritual boat looked weakly at the sky, tears forming in his eyes.

“Master, I have let you down.”

“I should have died to apologize, but before my death, I wanted to see you one last time.”

“When you gave me so much, wanting me to achieve greatness in the demon race, I return like this and have embarrassed you,” the pangolin said, tears streaming down his face.

Just then, a pink beam of light flew toward the spiritual boat from the distance.

A rabbit-eared girl appeared on the spiritual boat.

She quickly used her healing magic to treat the pangolin’s injuries.

“Did Master send you to save me?” the pangolin asked emotionally.

“Master, you mean the Grand Elder, right?”

“I came to heal you after receiving a task from the demon division. What right do I, a little demon, have to meet the Grand Elder?” The rabbit-eared girl said as she treated the pangolin.

The pangolin furrowed his brows at the rabbit-eared girl’s attitude.

In his eyes, one should always show the utmost respect when mentioning the master.

The look on the rabbit-eared girl’s face when talking about the master revealed no respect at all, which displeased the pangolin.

Has the beast race that attaches to the Hidden Spirit Sect reached this level after I left?

Seeing the pangolin’s serious expression, the rabbit-eared girl asked with some confusion, “What’s wrong? Is the healing magic I used unsuitable for this injury?”

As she spoke, the rabbit-eared girl changed to a different healing method for internal injuries.

“It’s fine,” the pangolin replied, shaking his head.

He felt guilty and had no right to make suggestions since he hadn’t done well for the master.

“Can I meet the Grand Elder?” the pangolin asked respectfully.

“This needs to be requested from Lord Grape,” said the rabbit-eared girl.

“I am talking to Lord Grape,” the pangolin said, casting his gaze to the sky.

“Sure, Master is fishing. Once you finish healing, I’ll send someone to fetch you,” a voice belonging to Lord Grape responded.

“Thank you, Lord Grape.”

On the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, the pangolin knelt not far from Xu Fan.

“Master, I have embarrassed you.”

“Get up. This cannot be blamed on you. Your path of growth is correct; it’s just that your luck is poor,” Xu Fan comforted him.

“You should return to the demon division to heal. Once you are well, you can take on the role of inspector there,” Xu Fan said.

Although the demon division had no issues at the moment, Xu Fan always felt that something was missing.

It wasn’t until he saw the pangolin that he suddenly realized what that missing part was.

“Thank you, Master!!” The pangolin’s head heavily bumped onto the ground.

“Awwo~”

A faint sound came from the small island beneath Xu Fan’s feet.

“You don’t need to bow so hard; there’s a Nascent Soul stage spirit turtle beneath you that can’t handle that much force,” Xu Fan said.

“I’m sorry, Master,” the pangolin quickly apologized. In his excitement upon seeing Xu Fan, he had forgotten that the small island below was actually a spirit turtle in disguise.

“The inspector of the demon division is responsible for overseeing all the demons attached to the sect. From major betrayals to minor laziness, you have the authority to manage it all.”

“Additionally, guide all the demons in the division to adopt the belief that the sect’s interests are paramount,” Xu Fan added after a moment of thought.

“Understood, Master.”

“This little demon knows what to do,” the pangolin said, his eyes sparkling with golden light.

At that moment, the rabbit-eared girl, who had just earned points from healing the pangolin and bought various spiritual fruits, was happily flying back to her cave.

“If I gather a bit more, I can exchange for the technique ‘White Jade Ice Heart Technique.’ Once I advance to the Core Formation stage, I can take on higher-point tasks and buy even more spiritual fruits,” the rabbit-eared girl said, her eyes glowing with excitement.

“Joining the sect was the best decision our clan leader ever made for our tribe,” the rabbit-eared girl remarked, munching on a spiritual fruit.

Easy tasks and the ability to exchange points for unimaginable spiritual fruits filled her with an overwhelming sense of happiness.

But what she didn’t know was that, in time, her simple joy would fade away.

She would become a sinner within the demon division, all because her healing had angered those who secretly despised the lick-demons.

A month later, the once relaxed and easygoing atmosphere of the beast department small island suddenly became restless.

All the demons’ communication artifacts received a notification: there was a new inspector in the demon division.

Then, except for the beast king, all the demons received notice to gather in the largest plain on the small island.

The pangolin stood on a high platform, his expression serious as he watched the demons slowly assemble below.

Time passed, and after over an hour, the demons from Hidden Spirit Island finally gathered.

All the demons looked at the inspector on the high platform and began to whisper.

“What does the inspector do? Are they going to give us food?”

“This inspector looks so serious. Did we do something wrong?”

“Is this inspector going to assign us tasks?”

As the demons speculated, the inspector slowly spoke, “I have a question for you all.”

“In today’s chaotic demon realm, as the top powerful families face the human race’s pursuit for extermination, who allows you to live peacefully, with a cultivation place rich in spiritual energy and an abundance of treasures that can be exchanged with points?”

The pangolin’s voice grew louder, and his words carried a hint of thunderous power.

All the demons below felt dazed by the pangolin’s words.

“Of course, it’s the Grand Elder of the sect.”

“The Grand Elder of the sect~”

“Without the Grand Elder, there would be no today.”

The demons below said.

Upon hearing their words, the pangolin’s expression began to show anger.

“Is this how you treat the Grand Elder, who has given you everything good???” the pangolin roared.

“From your words, I can sense your respect for the Grand Elder.”

“But I tell you, this respect is still far from enough!!”

For a moment, the pangolin’s presence overshadowed all the demons.

All the demons quieted down, casting him looks that said he was crazy.

For years, the demons of the demon division had lived like this; they didn’t feel anything was wrong.

Their attitude toward the Grand Elder was no different from how they viewed the clan leaders of the top powerful families.

“Attention all demons, today I, the inspector, will teach you the first lesson.”

The pangolin yelled with all his might. “The interests of the sect are above all else, and the Grand Elder is supreme.”
