Chapter 13

My Friends Welcome You [小伙伴们欢迎你 Xiǎo Huǒ Bàn Men Huān Yíng Nǐ] is the thirteenth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
The two monster sisters recognize the Soul Gong and immediately identify Ye Yan as a Nightwatcher. He introduces himself, remarking that small-fry monsters like them probably never heard of his name. Realizing that they are up against a guardian, the two monsters beg for mercy. The older sister attempts to lie to Ye Yan by stating that they are first offenders. He exposes her lie by noting that the two have killed several people already, and that death is the only suitable punishment for monsters who murder. The two monsters then bluff that they have zombie poison within them, and that if they die the released toxin will cause a plague that could kill the entire city. Ye Yan remarks that zombie poison would indeed be hard to deal with, and the older sister monster hopes to negotiate with him.

Ye Yan then decides to subjugate the two into his Flag Demons instead, mentioning that all his Flag Demons are red-blooded men who would be more than happy to enjoy the company of two cute girls. He then releases his Flag Demons, who all manifest shirtless while thanking their master for his kindness while making vulgar comments. As Ye Yan prepares to convert the two monster girls, he notices Huang Xiaoyan and immediately pretends to be frightened by his Flag Demons, hoping to deceive her into thinking he is a normal person. His Flag Demons also notice the Untitled Sage, which genuinely terrifies them. Huang Xiaoyan then descends from the window and walks up to Ye Yan, telling him to drop the act as she has been watching him for the past two minutes. She then angrily remarks that they are colleagues, with Ye Yan awkwardly responding that he thought she was asleep.
