Demon King's Repayment - chapter 161
Although Yuan Xiang arrived there not long ago, she also knew that there were very few food ingredients that humans could eat, and no one would specially reserve them. So it was not easy to buy them in the market. This demon was thoughtful.
“Ah Xiang, just eat with confidence. There are several humans in my family, so these foods are also ready-made, so it doesn’t take much trouble.”
Dushuo secretly checked the food, and found that there was nothing suspicious, only then did he nod to Yuan Xiang.
They had been in the spirit world but Dushuo and Hu Qing had never returned for decades.
Therefore, he often consulted with Shan Shi. He was very talkative, knew everything without saying anything, and talked endlessly. They quickly became familiar with each other.
Shan Shi also inquired about things in the human world.
When Yuan Xiang recounted one or two in detail, he happily clapped his hands, “That’s it, the floating world is really interesting. To hear what Ah Xiang said today is enough for me to have a long aftertaste.”
He took out a transparent crystal ball from his arms, took the folding fan and tapped the ball lightly, and a house hovering in the air appeared in the crystal ball.
Yuan Xiang had the impression of that house. They saw it when they entered the market. The building was suspended in mid-air, with water flowing down from the railing like a waterfall.
Then the scene in the crystal ball began to zoom in, and the field of vision seemed to follow the birds into the courtyard, browsing the scenery in the house all the way.
The exquisite long row of wooden plank roads, with tall wooden piles buried in the water. There were ponds on both sides of the plank road, full of large and big lotus flowers. On a boat wandering around, was a human woman wearing silk satin sitting on the boat. She stretched out her arms with several green jade bracelets, and moved the lotus on the lake.
The woman’s appearance was very ordinary. In the world where the demons gathered, it could be said to be ugly, but her life was extremely luxurious.
The scene turned again and entered the attic. On the terrace was a man with long hair, an old man. He leaned on crutches and sat in the house to eat dinner, followed by several people and puppets next to him, serving tea and water, massaging his shoulders and squeezing his legs, taking good care of him.
When the picture turned again, the courtyard was surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by white clouds. There were several human beings, men and women, young and old. The only feature was that everyone lived a very relaxed and prosperous life.Â
“Ah Xiang, these are the human friends I invited to stay at home for a long time. They all said that they feel like they are in the human world on earth, and they are extremely happy.” Shan Shi approached Yuan Xiang, with a gentle tone and burning eyes, “I don’t know if I have the honor to invite Ah Xiang to live with me?”
Compared with other demons, Shan Shi clearly understood the human mentality better. He didn’t just talk about being a pet, but only talked about being a guest, which saved face.
In fact, he had never been to the real world, and he couldn’t even muster the courage to really climb mountains and wading waters, to see the humans across a long distance.
But somehow he liked to keep humans in captivity. His family environment was also rich, allowing him to raise several humans at the same time, and also provide a superior life. Because he heard from Li Niang that the purebred human being he dreamed of came, he was happy and excited, and came forward with a bargaining chip, thinking that he would surely be able to touch any human heart.
Of course, Yuan Xiang firmly rejected him in the end.
“Why is that?” Shan Shi’s entire beautiful face was wrinkled. He looked at Dushuo and Wu Yuan thinking for a long time, “Do you already have a master? But these two apostles couldn’t be your master.”
“Sorry, I really didn’t mean it. Thank you for your hospitality, I think we should go,” Yuan Xiang stood up and prepared to leave.
“No, no, you can mention anything you want. You humans like gold. I can use gold to build a house for you.” Shan Shi said eagerly, “When you live with me, I will never interfere with any of your actions. If you don’t like me, just let me look at you from a distance.”
Yuan Xiang never expected that she became one of the must-have collections in the heart of that figure collector, and she could only laugh and refuse.
Because of the wealthy family background, Shan Shi, as long as there were humans he liked since he was a child, they would all smoothly enter his house, and there was never a time when he couldn’t buy a favorite human. He got anxious, reached out and grabbed Yuan Xiang’s wrist, “I really like purebred humans, and I have always wanted to truly have one. Unfortunately, even if the humans in the inner world are known to be of pureblood, they still have the blood of some demons. It is rare to meet someone like you and have a good chat. I really like you very much, please consider it again.”
Yuan Xiang didn’t have time to react. The sliding wooden door of the room was opened with a clatter. The cold air almost swept over the ground. A fat boar threw in from outside the door and hit Shan Shi.
Nan He appeared at the door, inexhaustible and murderous.
Shan Shi pushed away the fat boar on him and got up. A long nose and a pair of sharp fangs were exposed on the handsome face.
He covered his face, saw the bloody corpse of the same kind on the ground, and said with tears, “If you don’t want to sell it, it’s okay, why beat me?”
The night was getting darker.
Yuan Xiang, who had been sleeping and eating all the way, was finally able to rest in a place with a roof and a bed.
She was lying on Lishe’s bed. This was probably the most wonderful “hotel” she had ever stayed in in her life. The precious stones of various colors were used as basic building materials there.
Huge amethyst, yellow emerald, garnet and turquoise were randomly packed together to form an uneven wall.
On the ceiling, a group of light-emitting transparent fish were swimming back and forth, providing lighting for the room. The soft light and shadow walked on the magnificent wall, and the thin colorful light changed in the small space, forming a wonderful and dreamlike world.
If one didn’t need light to rest, they could just push the window open, and the little things like glazed lights would wag their tails and line up to swim out of the window, hover over the house, and open the window to greet them when needed.
The room was so “luxury” that it was inconceivable, but it was empty and there was almost nothing in it. There was only a huge nest in the corner.
