Demon King's Repayment - chapter 160

“Ah Xiang, don’t be so picky, there are only these things to eat in the inner world. You can’t find such delicate food in the world.”

“You eat it, I’ll just gnaw on the dry food. I really can’t eat the things here,” Yuan Xiang declined Wu Yuan’s proposal to divide the worms in his bowl into hers.

“Who said that my food can’t be eaten?”

In the mezzanine on the second floor, a female demon’s neck stretched like noodles. She had delicate eyebrows and a neat head hanging from the second floor, directly in front of Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang and her upside-down head stared at each other for a long time. Before being startled by her long strange neck, the long-necked demon gave a fuss, “Oh, it’s a human being, it scared me.”

She quickly retracted her neck and ran down from the upstairs, carefully wiping her temples with her hands while walking.

The woman’s hair was all rolled up high, and she was wearing a short robe with wide sleeves and gorgeous brocade. This kind of clothes was no longer popular in the world, but it was a style that was popular for a long time hundreds of years ago.

She wore a gorgeous brocade robe on the upper body, but did not wear any curvy skirts on the lower body, only a pair of short hot pants, showing a pair of straight long legs, tattoos with blue pictures and texts on her legs. Her momentum was compelling and the pattern was matched on the slender and white legs, showing a kind of casual beauty.

“Are you a human? My name is Li Niang, the boss here.” The woman sat down on the table opposite Yuan Xiang, and looked at her from head to toe with shiny eyes, “You got a pure aura. What a purebred human. Unexpectedly, there are such humans. Where did you come from?”

“We come from the human world.”

“Human? Are you talking about the floating world? It turns out that you came from the floating world. It has been hundreds of years since the separation of the two worlds. In recent years, fewer humans in the floating world have entered here. I almost forgot what it looked like over there.”

“What is the floating world?”

“Oh, it’s been too long, I have forgotten that it is not called that way. We call the world you live in, the floating world, and this world as the third world.” Li Niang covered her mouth and smiled, “Hehehe, it’s actually the same. It’s just a title.”

She looked at the untouched food in front of Yuan Xiang, and was a little embarrassed to say, “You are not used to eating these? There is no human food here. It is very troublesome to buy it. If you want to eat, you can go to the forest. Find some food suitable for humans and store them in the kitchen for processing. I also provide accommodation here. If you want, I can let you stay one night for free. Don’t worry, Lishe is the safest place here. Fighting is prohibited. No matter how weak you are, guests who walk into Lishe are not allowed to bully you.”

Yuan Xiang thanked her kindly.

Li Niang led the way, her tattooed legs strode forward, “You’re welcome, rare purebred human being. I’m quite excited, hehehe, I can brag about it in the future.”

After having a place to rest, Nan He entrusted Yuan Xiang to Dushuo, and set out on his own to find food in the nearby forest.

“Ah Xiang, wait a minute, I’ll find you something to eat,” Nan He said.

After Nan He left, the side just settled down, and soon there were demons coming to knock on the door.

Yuan Xiang opened the door in response, and saw a man with wide sleeves and light robe like a romantic in the Jin and Wei dynasties and described as a handsome demon male.

“I heard that a human guest came, and I was very happy. I came to see you.” While he was talking, he unfolded the paper fan and swayed gently and handsomely, “I dare to ask the distinguished guest’s name?”

He didn’t look like a demon at all, but like a scholar, but unfortunately the white paper fan had extremely conspicuous words “peerless beauty” and “unparalleled beauty” written on the front and back of the white paper fan.

Yuan Xiang worked very hard to hold back her laugh.

That was probably a demon who liked the human lifestyle, and wanted to imitate them, but was a bit nondescript.

“I deliberately prepared a table in the lounge for human consumption. Let’s go over and eat it, okay?” When he spoke, he tried hard to be like those celebrities. 

“Thanks but we’ve all had supper.”

Yuan Xiang declined the strange and enthusiastic demon who came suddenly.

“Ah, you really are a pureblood. Such a suspicious and cautious human can only be purebred,” Shan Shi was not angry at all, but became happy. He was very graceful and smiled, “It’s a pity that human beings live in an untimely world, and I have no chance to see them. Now it’s very dangerous, and I don’t have a chance to go there as a demon. So I heard that some friends came from there, so I was eager to get to listen to some stories of the floating world, please don’t be offended.”

“It’s just a meal I set downstairs. I have already let people prepare the dishes, and I hope you will give me a face.” He bowed and confided sincerely, “I just want to talk. Just chat with me, please.”

Yuan Xiang also wanted to learn about the situation with the demons who lived there, so she nodded and agreed.

She brought Dushuo, Hu Qing and Wu Yuan to the banquet together.

The banquet was set up in a very luxuriously furnished room, and those who entered and left the dishes were all wooden puppets covered with runes.

Those puppets looked sluggish, but their actions were very delicate and accurate, and they never made mistakes.

Although the preparation process of the dishes served was simple, they were indeed food for human consumption. It was no longer like those terrifying demon bodies, or weird insects, snakes, and other things that she couldn’t swallow at all.
