In the small bedroom, with the curtains drawn and the door tightly shut,
thick fog filled the air, and a Night Charm gradually took shape.
This was the first time Lu Ran had created an Evil Demon, and he had not aimed too high—he had chosen the lowest level Mist Realm·Night Charm.
"Meow~"
The little calico cat became increasingly restless.
Lu Ran temporarily couldn't spare the energy to soothe it and simply let it go.
The little calico cat immediately darted out.
It leaped toward the doorknob, using its weight to press down.
"Click~"
The little tabby cat had managed to open the door by itself.
A dog in desperation can jump over a wall, but a cat in desperation can open doors?
It slipped through the door gap, its instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm compelling it to get as far from the dark shadow as possible.
"Focus." A hoarse voice dropped down, reminding Lu Ran.
"Yes," Lu Ran responded gravely, continuously driving the Divine Power.
Following the techniques and concepts he had learned from the Evil Sculpture and combining them with the Night Charm Evil Sculpture in his mind, he worked together on creating a body of flesh and blood.
Under the influence of Divine Power, the Night Charm's body took form.
Origin Energy was the final touch needed for the shell.
Eventually, a pitch-dark allure stood between Lu Ran and the Divine Shrine.
Her tall figure was draped in fluttering black gauze.
That tight-fitting black dress outlined her irresistibly tempting curvaceous silhouette.
"Night Charm..." Lu Ran muttered under his breath.
The much-anticipated accomplishment was finally complete; he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Yet at that moment, Lu Ran forcefully suppressed his roiling emotions and cautiously stepped back.
Even though this Evil Demon belonged to him, Lu Ran couldn't help feeling apprehensive.
After all, the psychological shadow was rather substantial...
"Hisss..." The Night Charm finally came to life, her body tensing up immediately, conjuring a Night Charm Blade in her hand.
But her target was not the Human Clan·Lu Ran, but the White Sheep Jade Carving inside the little divine shrine!
"Silence," Lu Ran commanded in a low voice.
This was not merely a vocal command, but a directive jointly issued by Lu Ran and the Night Charm Evil Sculpture in his mind.
At that moment, Lu Ran was the spokesperson for the Night Charm Evil Sculpture, its envoy in the human world.
Of course, Lord Immortal Goat had corrected Lu Ran a long time ago, telling him not to demean himself in such a manner.
Lord Immortal Goat repeatedly emphasized that Lu Ran was not an envoy for the Divine Sculpture or Evil Sculpture—he was their master.
The Night Charm promptly obeyed and shut up.
However, she still faced the little divine shrine, continuously retreating.
"Stand still!" Lu Ran strode forward, placing one hand on Night Charm's shoulder, anchoring her in place.
The Night Charm understood Lu Ran's intentions and indeed stopped retreating.
The room fell into an eerie silence.
From the Night Charm's body language, one could see that she still harbored wariness towards the little divine sculpture.
However, she also unconditionally obeyed Lu Ran's commands.
After confirming there were no irregularities with the Divine Shrine Divine Sculpture, the Night Charm turned toward Lu Ran and slowly knelt down.
As for whether she was kneeling to the Night Charm Evil Sculpture in Lu Ran's spiritual world or to Lu Ran himself...
There was no difference.
Witnessing this scene, Lu Ran felt a strong sense of reassurance.
From the various reactions after the Night Charm appeared, his first creation of an Evil Demon was fairly satisfactory.
She had flesh, a soul, and most importantly, respect and obedience.
"Knife," Lu Ran signaled for the blade in Night Charm's hand.
Hesitating briefly, she rotated the knife in her hand, presenting it to Lu Ran handle-first.
"Disperse the Night Charm Blade, cancel the Evil Technique," Lu Ran realized he had misspoken and waved his hand.
The Night Charm understood Lu Ran's command well enough; the Night Charm Blade in her hand immediately shattered into mist.
This was the advantage of creating an Evil Demon underling by Lu Ran's hand.
The Night Charm before him was not a crudely made, low-level creature casually summoned by an Evil Sculpture.
But a painstakingly crafted creation involving Lu Ran's earnest efforts.
Fundamentally, the Night Charm was still an Evil Demon, violent and cruel, with a lust for killing.
After all, she was derived from an Evil Demon Sculpture, inheriting its traits.
However, as the crafter, when Lu Ran used the Origin Energy to create her soul, he also endowed her with intelligence distinct from other Evil Demons.
Lu Ran gestured with his hand: "Stand up."
The Night Charm slowly rose, still slightly bowing her head, standing before Lu Ran.
She was already dressed like a roving warrior; this posture made her appear even more like a faithful Dead Soldier trained by Lu Ran.
Lu Ran reached out, gently grasping the black gauze.
Finally, he could take a closer look at the face hidden behind the black gauze.
In fact, Lu Ran already knew what the Night Charm looked like.
During his experiences in the Night Charm Demon Cave, he occasionally "Liao Sha Ci Mei," unavoidably catching a glimpse.
More importantly, this body of flesh was ultimately crafted by his own hands.
"My, my~"
Lu Ran lifted the black gauze and saw a face pale as paper.
Pale, yet bewitchingly alluring!
Even though Lu Ran had mentally prepared himself, he still received a certain visual shock.
On that pale face were embedded a pair of jewel-like, lustrously beautiful eyes.
Those eyes, a pale purple, glimmered faintly.
Mysterious, seductive.
Captivating.
"She really should wear a mask," Lu Ran sighed softly.
If the Night Charm Clan showed their true faces in public, wouldn't they wreak havoc from another dimension?
Night Charm's face was indeed a bit pale, and her eyes were truly alluring.
But those looks were absolutely knockout!
Combined with the enticing figure of the Night Charm Clan, she could definitely compete with Yan Zhi!
"Beauty in their own ways," Lu Ran murmured to himself.
Yan Zhi was more dignified and regal, while Night Charm was more enchantingly seductive.
Then, Lu Ran grasped the edge of the bamboo hat and directly removed her hat.
Her black hair, no longer confined by the hat, cascaded down instantly.
The length of her hair even passed her waist, smooth as satin.
Lu Ran couldn't help but reach out, scoop up that waterfall-like hair, and squeeze it in his palm.
Silently, Night Charm stood obediently, letting Lu Ran play with her hair.
"You this..."
After a long while, Lu Ran grinned, circling Night Charm several times.
"Poof~" The bamboo hat, having been away from Night Charm's body for a long while, quietly broke into mist.
Stopping in his tracks, Lu Ran swiped away the mist with his hand, marveling at the creator's wonder.
Wait a minute!
Wasn't he essentially the creator?
At least he was in cahoots with the Night Charm Evil Sculpture during the process.
A thought struck Lu Ran, and he headed to the wardrobe. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the yellow raincoat of the Big Nightmare.
Well… better not.
Dressing Night Charm in the raincoat of a North Wind Believer would indeed be inappropriate.
Besides, that was left to him by the Big Nightmare, so it certainly wasn't meant for others to wear.
Lu Ran scanned the wardrobe and eventually took out his own black raincoat.
He approached Night Charm, pulled the oversized black raincoat over her, and casually put the hood on her as well.
"Very good," Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction, examining "Black Raincoat Night Charm."
She was ready to use!
It was time to teach Night Charm how to wash clothes, scrub floors, and clean the litter box.
"You stay there; I'm going to draw the curtain," Lu Ran turned and headed to the door.
Also, before letting Night Charm leave the small bedroom, he still needed to emphasize to her not to harm the little calico cat.
Otherwise, while Night Charm was sweeping the floor, she might just gobble up the little tabby cat...
Lu Ran would have nowhere to cry!
In the end, Lu Ran opted for a more cautious approach—he became a foreman.
Cradling the little calico cat, Lu Ran bossed Night Charm around, having her do this and that.
It's undeniable—the intelligence of the Night Charm Clan was indeed higher.
Plus, when Lu Ran created her, he put in his heart and soul, giving her intelligence distinct from her kindred.
Naturally, menial household tasks were a breeze for her.
However, ideals and reality are different.
Evil Demon, after all, is an Evil Demon!
No matter how obedient Night Charm was to Lu Ran, her inherent savagery and desire for bloodshed could never be eradicated.
After all, her soul's essence originated from the "energy" from the authentic Evil Demon Sculpture.
This also meant that she was not suited to be a nanny.
Night Charm constantly thought about ripping the little calico cat apart, and the little calico cat always wanted to stay far from this terrifying creature.
Therefore, Lu Ran couldn't possibly keep this Night Charm at home.
Moreover, there was another point:
The Origin Energy of the Evil Demon Stone Sculpture also bestowed a trace of Ghost Energy on the Night Charm underlings.
And people of the world could sense Ghost Energy!
However, most would only truly perceive it when an Evil Demon approached them face-to-face.
Like Lu Ran, those who could faintly detect "Ghost Energy" within a certain range also existed.
Certain beast-type divine believers similarly possessed a technique similar to Evil Technique·Evil Sense.
It's just that Rain Alley City was too small, with incomplete Moon Gazer troop arrangements and a relatively limited variety of believers, making such believers scarce.
But regardless, this was still a hidden danger.
Only when Night Charm was in Lu Ran's small bedroom was she absolutely safe.
Because the strong aura of the Immortal Sheep God Sculpture could easily overlay that thin trace of Ghost Energy.
To let Night Charm move throughout the entire house, Lord Immortal Goat's help would be needed.
Of course, Lu Ran would not trouble a divine being over a mere nanny.
So this time, creating and summoning an Evil Demon to try controlling it was enough.
There was no need to unnecessarily increase risks.
"Not bad."
As one human and one demon returned to the small bedroom, a transmission fell.
Lu Ran nodded: "She's really quite obedient."
For Lu Ran, who was making an Evil Demon for the first time, it was certainly a success.
Her body was complete, her heart was submissive, and her Mist Realm Evil Technique setup was quite comprehensive.
Lu Ran changed the subject, "But I've got to send her away, there's Ghost Energy."
He leaned forward slightly, sniffing behind Night Charm's head through the raincoat hood.
Sniff~
There was indeed a slightly moldy scent.
Hearing this, Lord Immortal Sheep was even more satisfied.
The divine being's judgment was far more precise than Lu Ran's.
With the small divine sculpture guarding this residence, the aura inside was quite potent; a trace of Mist Realm·Night Charm's emitted energy was unlikely to be detected by others.
But Lord Immortal Goat was also pleased to see Lu Ran being so cautious and thus did not say much more.
"I'm sorry," Lu Ran stood in front of Night Charm, apologizing, "I need to send you away..."
Before he could finish, a sudden transmission fell: "What are you doing?"
"Huh?" Lu Ran instinctively turned his head, looking toward the divine shrine.
Lord Immortal Sheep's voice became somewhat somber: "She is a tool, an Evil Demon composed of your energy.
She is your servant!"
Lu Ran seemed to understand Lord Immortal Goat's point.
Because he had just apologized to Night Charm, the divine being was displeased?
Lu Ran scratched his head: "Oh..."
