Chapter 36

Flower and Whitey [花儿与小白 Huā Er Yǔ Xiǎo Bái] is the thirty-sixth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
Having been stopped by Ye Yan, Che Yongtai angrily demands him to introduce himself. However, Ye Yan ignores the question, as he is fascinated by the materials and artisanship of the Demon Lord Armor. Irritated, Che Yongtai is about to attack Ye Yan before he comments that his "costume" is incredibly high-end and asks if he is a rich man with great power. Assuming Ye Yan intuitively addressed him as such due to his status, Che Yongtai chooses to spare him for being an "insightful small fry". A girl then approaches the two and asks for selfie with them. Seeing the demon lord blush, Ye Yan asks if he is nervous around girls, with Che Yongtai reluctantly agreeing while mentally noting that the "creatures" are called "girls". Noticing Che Yongtai's stiff expression, Ye Yan asks if it's his first time cosplaying, with the demon lord asking what is cosplaying in return. The Nightwatcher responds by saying cosplaying is similar to performance art, with Che Yongtai asking what is performance art. Ye Yan then whispers to Che Yongtai that girls love performances with dialogue and poses, confusing the demon lord. He then makes a cute pose and speech, causing the three girls from earlier to surround and dote on him. Che Yongtai acknowledges his skills in attracting ladies.

Meanwhile in the Underworld, Yan Wen orders Left-hand Man to open the Eye of Dimensions again, but the latter responds that he still needs time to recover since the spell is extremely taxing. She tells him to hurry so they can keep watch over Che Yongtai. As Left-hand Man uses the spell again, Yan Wen wonders if the demon lord has gotten bored and began killing men. As the two look through the portal, they see Che Yongtai dressed in a white rabbit suit dancing alongside Ye Yan to a song while being cheered on by a crowd of people, causing them to spit out blood in shock.

While dancing, Ye Yan points out that being cute attracts ladies better than wearing fantastical armor, which Che Yongtai agrees with while blushing. After the performance, the two bow and take pictures with fans. The two then bid each other goodbye some time later while Ye Yan carries a bag of props with him. Being in a good mood, Che Yongtai postpones his plans for killing all the humans sans girls to the next day and wanders onto the railroad tracks. As he thinks about how to find the Heaven Crystal, a train approaches him from behind. The two train drivers notice Che Yongtai but realize they won't be able to stop the train in time. Taking notice of the incoming train, Che Yongtai believes that someone is purposefully trying to hit him with the train and holds out his hand, preparing to stop the vehicle.
