Gratitude

Su Yu's brow raised and he finally turned to look at Han Yao. "They are eyeing it?" he asked.

Han Yao nodded in affirmation. "Yes." He answered.

It is not surprising that the horror anchors are eyeing the Purple Old Manor. After all, not only was it a haunted place, but that many other horror anchors haven't taken the place to explore in their livestream. So, not only can this increase their popularity, but they might get a bonus from their company. After all, this is a popular haunted house! And they would be the first to explore it!

"So, did they take it?" Su Yu asked as he stared at Han Yao.

Han Yao's smile froze when he recalled something. "… no, they didn't." he said and sighed. After all, even if this can burst their popularity, but who would dare to risk their life in case something dangerous was really living in the Purple Old Manor?

Su Yu scoffed when he saw his face looking like a wilted eggplant. "Because they can't do it." He said.

Since many has already believed that the Purple Old Manor is a true haunted place, then naturally there must be 'something' living in it. And humans naturally fear the unknown, especially ones that reek of danger. The Purple Old Manor fell in both categories – what is inside it is unknown, and everyone knows that it is definitely a dangerous place.

So, who would dare to go there? Only those who are stupid.

Han Yao looked at him. "You sound confident." he said.

"Of course, I am. Because I can." Su Yu answered. He never goes unprepared, more so when he is not confident.

Han Yao nodded in agreement when he recalled that all of Su Yu's livestreams are successful. This is also one of the reasons why Su Yu is so popular.

Han Yao can't help but smile. "You are right." He muttered. "Well, anyway, since no horror anchor wants to take this, that means that the rumors about it being haunted is true." He spoke. "Something must have really happened in that old manor, and it is not so simple. After all, no one from the Purple Old Manor has reported to the police for any crime." He said and looked at Su Yu. "Xiao Yu, even if taking this haunted place could increase your popularity, but if your safety is at risk… I won't force you to take this." He told Su Yu.

Su Yu fell silent. He knows that Han Yao cared for him and they are like a family. Han Yao even has taken him to his home during the holidays telling his family that he is his little brother (not blood related). The Han family is very kind, and even wanted to adopt Su Yu after they learned that Su Yu is an orphan (the identity that Han Yao arranged for him). But, Su Yu declined. He can't take advantage of their kindness.

Due to this, Su Yu worked harder. He knows that the more popular he is, the more that Han Yao's position in the company would be powerful. After all, it was Han Yao who signed him in the Fanfan Livestream. Even if they didn't know that Han Yao also is acting as his family, but they know that Su Yu owed Han Yao. So, Su Yu working for Han Yao is already a given. And Su Yu has no complaints for that.

Su Yu doesn't know the reason why he is still alive when he should have been dead. He knows though that this body is his. Just that it has changed, reverting to when he was younger, around the age twenty. So, Han Yao arranged his age to be twenty-four. Su Yu knows that he also still has his power from when he was still in his original world. Just that, his power has decreased, and his body now has become a human for some reason, which the smell masked his demonic power.

So, when he goes to haunted places, the ghosts or demons – in other words, the yao, would flock towards him, thinking that he is really a human. Thus, when they saw his eyes turning purple, showing that he is actually also a yao (of some sort), they would be frightened. Of course, there are some yao that don't fear him and would even challenge him, thinking that he wanted to occupy their territory – the haunted places. There are also some naturally malicious yao like ghosts – the earthbound spirits for one, or flower monsters, etc.

Su Yu would kill these malicious yao so that it won't harm the mortals. Even if Su Yu has become a demon lord before, he still has the mortals in his heart. Thus, he cares for the mortals. As he hunt these haunted places, his name spread in the yao and they would either detour when they bump into him during his livestream, or they would behave honestly because they fear that Su Yu would kill them.

Thus, these haunted places felt less haunted after Su Yu's explored them. The people living near these areas then would thank Su Yu since they know that it is due to Su Yu that these haunted places no longer would haunt them. Due to this, every time Su Yu finishes exploring the haunted places, the residents around these places would give him gifts or food for him to eat. The other places who lived near the haunted places would also call for Su Yu to explore the haunted places in their area, too.

As a result, Su Yu has earned a nickname 'Exorcist Su'. Su Yu doesn't know whether to laugh or cry due to this, while Han Yao feels very happy since he knows that the livestreaming business is not that appreciated in the society since people has a negative view of it. But, because of Su Yu's image in the people's hearts, the livestreaming business' image also has changed. And because of this, the president of the Fanfan Livestream gave Su Yu, as well as Han Yao, a big bonus since their company also became famous.

In short, their first attempt of horror livestreaming is a success.
