Chapter 38

Please Take Care of Your Belongings [请保管好随身物品 Qǐng Bǎo Guǎn Hǎo Suí Shēn Wù Pǐn] is the thirty-eighth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
In the Underworld, Left-hand Man informs Yan Wen that he can cast Eye of Dimensions again. The matriarch expresses her loss of faith in Che Yongtai due to his asinine acts in the human world ever since he arrived there. Looking through the portal, they see an enraged Che Yongtai preparing to cast his Body Splitting Spikes spell, shocking them as he finally seems to be serious. However, after he makes the pose for casting the spell, nothing happens, and the demon lord falls unconscious, leaving Yan Wen and Left-hand Man dumbfounded. Right-hand Man explains that Che Yongtai actually has poor control over the magic in his body, and the Demon Lord Armor was meant to help him guide his magic properly. He further explains that while the demon lord can use simple spells such as creating clothes, combat-oriented magic spells that consume a large amount of energy when cast would internally disrupt him and induce a coma without the assistance of the set of armor. After expressing her disappointment at Che Yongtai's reliance on his equipment, Yan Wen asks about the whereabouts of the arbor, with one of her assistants replying that it has disappeared since the time he was dancing.

Back in the human world, Ye Yan returns home to see a human-sized hole torn into the door of his apartment and its surrounding walls. Ye Yan laments to himself about how since Huang Xiaoyan seemed tired after just being discharged from the hospital, he locked the door after she fell asleep, only for her to destroy it after waking up even though he left her a key on the table. As he complains that he was already short on budget for the month, he hears clinking in the bag of props he brought home. He then recovers the Demon Lord Armor from the bag and notices that it is made of metal, having an idea upon this realization.

Arriving at a store that installs security doors, Ye Yan asks a welder in the store if he could replace his door at a cheaper price if he provides the materials. The worker asks to take a look at the materials, and Ye Yan dumps the Demon Lord Armor onto the ground.

Meanwhile, back in the Underworld, Left-hand Man rants out loud about where the idiot demon lord left his armor with Right-hand Man joining in, stating that the suit of armor is a priceless artifact with a long-lost method of creation, and that even a single missing part is irreplaceable.
