Chapter 25: Demon Man Living in the Human World

She was wrapped in a curtain-like piece of clothing, and the mended appearance made people worry that it might break at any time.

The long black hair covered her upper body, which was thin to the bone, and the inside of the upward-pointing ear tips was light pink fluff.

The reason Luo Yan could see so clearly wasn't because his eyesight was good, but purely because the excited You You was too close, and the camera was almost poked into the face of this little wild cat.

It could be seen that she was really hungry, and all her heart was on the food, so much so that she didn't even perceive the undead close at hand.

In addition.

Undoubtedly, this guy is a Demon Man—a subject of Demon God Majesty wandering outside.

There is a simple way to distinguish between Demon Men and Half-Orcs, which is that the latter are more like beasts, while the former are more like modified humans who have integrated part of the beast's characteristics.

Luo Yan didn't understand why there were Demon Men in the hinterland of the human world, but thinking about it, he, a human, got a graduation certificate from the Demon King Academy, so Demon Men appearing in the Kingdom of Lei En didn't seem so exaggerated? It's just that looking at the way this guy was wolfing down, Luo Yan really couldn't imagine what state a Demon Man living in the human world was in.

Perhaps they didn't have the value of being united.

For the ground world, which is like a garden, the kings of the human kingdom indeed didn't have the need to unite these burdens.

"Lord Demon King! Catch her quickly! Faith! Brainwashing! Training! Turn her into your shape!" You You jumped up and down excitedly, wishing she could go down and catch this "Cat Demon" herself.

"..."

Looking at the jumping You You, Luo Yan didn't know where to start complaining for a moment.

Tsk.

How come this guy is more ruthless than him, the Demon King?

Looking at this little wild cat appreciating his culinary skills so much, Luo Yan couldn't bear to make a move for a moment.

Since it's not an assassin.

How about just forget it? Anyway, he's full.

However, although Luo Yan really thought so, Bond, who had already received the order, didn't intend to let her go just like that.

"Hungry..."

A low growl with a long trailing sound came from his mouth, and he, who had been lurking in the dark, suddenly exploded.

I saw the great sword in his hand swing out, cutting the straw stack in front of him in half in just an instant, and the momentum didn't decrease as he slashed toward the gluttonous petty thief.

The cat, who had her mouth full of wooden signs, was startled, stretched her right hand to the ground, and flipped over, pulling away the distance in three or two steps.

That was purely an instinct for survival.

The sharp blade almost brushed past her ear tips.

Just a little bit, and she would have become a one-eared cat.

Luo Yan, holding the mirror, saw that the long sword in Bond's hand passed directly through You You's body.

If this sword had hit a person, it would definitely have been dead. Fortunately, it hit the body of a god.

As an existence without a physical body, the attack methods of the mortal world couldn't hurt You You at all, whether it was physical attack or magic attack.

In contrast, Luo Yan was a bit worried about that little wild cat.

Friend, at least spit out the things in your mouth first? That's a sharpened wooden sign.

Very dangerous!

"Quick! Quick chase! Lord Demon King! Don't let her run away!" You You in the mirror shouted regardless.

Luo Yan didn't pay attention to this noisy godhead, just ordered Bond, who was ready to go, to say.

"Bond, sit down."

Bond, who was holding the great sword and preparing to attack the second before, sat on the ground with a thud the next second.

Having just slipped back from the gate of Hell, that startled little wild cat was clearly still in a state of stress and didn't calm down because the evil ghost in front of her stopped attacking.

Although she couldn't figure out what happened, the instinct for survival told her that it was best to run away at this time.

If she didn't run, she wouldn't be able to run!

Her slender and tight legs were lowered into a half-folded bow, but just as she was about to turn into a gust of wind and slip away, her legs were like being filled with lead, fixed in place and unable to move.

"Ugh—!"

Losing her balance, she almost fell, until she lowered her head and saw in horror that two skeleton hands didn't know when they had drilled out from the ground and grabbed her ankles tightly! It's undead! Seeing this thrilling scene, she was like a cat seeing a banana for the first time, her whole body arched into a shrimp ball, and all her fur exploded.

Looking at the struggling appearance, Luo Yan was also worried about scaring this guy to death, so he walked out from the shadows.

And what surprised him was that as soon as he appeared, the faith value rose up.

【Faith Value +1】

【Faith Value +1】

【...】

emmm...

Am I that scary? Clearing his throat, Luo Yan opened his mouth in a tone as kind as possible.

"Good evening, uninvited guest, my name is Luo Yan, from Hell... to avoid unnecessary trouble, I hope you will consciously report your name."

Just in case, he said this sentence in the language of Hell first, and then said it in the language of the Kingdom of Lei En.

However, this little wild cat didn't appreciate it.

Those amber pupils were still staring at him, and the mouth full of skewers forced out tiger teeth that were looming.

"Drink...!"

That vague low growl didn't have any deterrence at all, but instead made people feel silly because her mouth was full of food.

"... Are you not willing to pull out the skewers even like this? How many days have you not eaten?"

Luo Yan made a helpless expression, chanted the spell while waving his magic wand, changed out half a stone pier from behind him and sat down.

"How about you finish eating, and then we talk properly?"

Maybe it was tired of "drinking," maybe it was really too hungry, that little wild cat saw that Luo Yan didn't have any further actions, and then moved her cheeks with a smack.

"Don't eat the wooden sign together."

Luo Yan casually exhorted, and then picked up a few more rat tail skewers from the wooden frame on the side and inserted them next to the campfire to roast slowly.

When that little wild cat finally mastered the trick of eating skewers, he also roasted them almost ready, sprinkled a few grains of salt and handed them to her.

"Give."

Although there was still vigilance and fear written in those amber pupils, her body still honestly accepted the temptation of food, swallowed her saliva and reached out her hand.

Luo Yan waved his magic wand, changed half a stone pier behind her, and signaled her to sit down.

When that little wild cat finally completely relaxed, he lifted the skeleton hand that was holding her ankle and returned freedom to her.

Luo Yan noticed that the moment she regained her freedom, her shoulders tightened involuntarily.

However, after hesitating for a while, she finally didn't run away like before, but quietly waited by the campfire with the skewers.

"Is it delicious?"

"Cooked! Delicious!"

"Hahahaha, I knew it."

Fine.

It turns out it wasn't because his cooking skills were great, but because this guy belongs to the kind that is super easy to satisfy.

Looking at the happy chewing appearance, Luo Yan became more and more curious about what kind of life she had lived before.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Oooooh!"

"You can answer me after swallowing the things, no need to force it." "Hmm!"

"Good girl."

"Hmm?"

"I mean, you have a good appetite."

After eating the skewers worth five thousand Nether Coins, a trace of happy and satisfied pain finally appeared on that delicate and young face.

Looking at the slightly bulging lower abdomen, Luo Yan didn't continue feeding, put away the wooden signs and threw them into the storage basket on the side.

I heard that people who have been hungry for a long time will forget the feeling of fullness, so much so that they eat too much and starve themselves to death.

Looking at the campfire without skewers, the little cat sitting on the stone pier looked at Luo Yan with longing, hinting for him to come again.

Until the latter spread his hands to indicate there was none, she licked her fingers and corners of her mouth with lingering fear, yawned and stretched.

"Tha... thank you."

This guy actually speaks human language.

Looking at the cat girl who had finally opened her heart, Luo Yan said in a gentle tone of inducement.

"You're welcome, Demon God Lord Lord Bayeli teaches us that we must help each other in the ground world, after all, humans there are not good things... except for humans who believe in the Demon God, like me."

"Demon God? Lord Lord Bayeli?" That cat tilted her head, her voice hoarse, "Sha La only heard of Lord Shengxisi..."

Luo Yan's eyebrows twitched, but he still said with a smile.

"Then, did the respected Lord Shengxisi roast skewers for you?"

Sha La looked at him blankly and shook her head.

"No..."

"Then did He give you money? Or help you cure your illness? Or give you a warm house or a warm home? Or help you catch mice... well, no need to answer, your sad expression has already told me that you have nothing," Luo Yan said with a smile, "Remember, from today on, you are a believer of the Demon King."

"Demon... King?" Sha La looked at him blankly, with an oily mouth open, her brain didn't turn around, "Not Demon God?"

Luo Yan shook his head and said slowly.

"The things I said, the Demon God didn't give you, right? But! As the Demon King, I gave you skewers, is it appropriate for you not to believe in me?"

Luo Yan waited for a while, and no thunder struck down.

Very good.

It seems that neither the Demon God nor Shengxisi heard it.

Sha La, hugging her knees, nodded understandingly, feeling that what this human said seemed to make some sense.

Her mother always told her when she was still alive to believe in Lord Shengxisi, and that the omnipotent Holy Light would one day save them from being lost.

However, every guy she met who called himself a servant of Shengxisi had never given her a good face for even a second... Instead, this guy who called himself the Demon King gave her a full meal.

Demon King.

Doesn't seem bad? Thinking of her "fierce" attitude before, she suddenly felt ashamed and buried her head.

"Sha La... my name. Sha La doubted you before, sorry."

"It doesn't matter, vigilance is human nature, just like I also doubted whether you, hiding in the dark, were an assassin or something."

Luo Yan smiled friendly, and then said.

"Speaking of which, I'm quite surprised, how did you avoid the early warning magic array I set up outside this inn?"

"Early warning? Magic array?" A hint of confusion flashed in the amber pupils, Sha La recalled for a long time before saying in an uncertain tone, "Is it the smell of the corpse... I did smell a little outside the inn, so I bypassed it."

The smell of the corpse?

Could it be the bone ash used for spellcasting? But can that thing really be smelled with a nose?

Luo Yan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Maybe he can improve it.

For example... how about replacing bone ash with wood ash? Looking at Luo Yan, who was silent, Sha La thought he was angry, so she apologized in a low voice.

"Sorry... there has been no one here, I saw the firelight, so I thought about coming over to see if I could find anything useful."

Facing that cautious gaze, Luo Yan immediately guessed that she had misunderstood something, so he smiled and said.

"No need to apologize, this inn is not my home, I am just a dove occupying a magpie's nest."

The autumn night wind shook the light on the campfire, and the rising fire sparks were like fireflies dancing.

Sha La stared at his face for a long time, just like a cat squatting on the side of the road, looking at a wild shovel officer.

"You... are different from others."

"That's for sure, after all, I am indeed not from here."

"Hell?"

"Yes."

"Is that... far from here?"

Luo Yan glanced at her and saw a hint of longing—or rather, desire—for an ideal country from those amber pupils.

"Do you want to go?"

"Hmm..."

Sha La nodded, not hiding her heart.

However, for Sha La who revealed her heart, Luo Yan poured a basin of cold water on her head.

"I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea."

"Why??" Sha La looked at him incomprehensibly, seeming to be genuinely confused.

Luo Yan thought for a while, and answered while deliberating on his words.

"That place... how should I put it, if you happen to be born in the Demon Capital, you should live more comfortably. But other than that, it's all about each other's sayings."

To put it bluntly.

If Hell were really that comfortable, he wouldn't have run here to be a Demon King.

Even so, he was born in the Demon Capital, and he also had the halo of a protected animal on his head, and he also had a godfather, foster father, and grandfather who was a priest in the Demon God Temple of the Truth Department.

As for ordinary Demon Men like Sha La, and Demon Men born in the human world, let alone going to the Demon Capital, it's just that if they want to go to Hell, they have to go to the front line to prove their loyalty first.

Hearing Luo Yan's answer, Sha La lowered her ears in disappointment, staring at her toes and not knowing what she was thinking.

"It's not that I'm standing and talking without back pain, but you guys who grew up on the ground really can't adapt to the environment there, so don't think about it, how many people want to go up but can't... By the way, I happen to have a job here, if you really can't find where to go, why not come and work for me."

The players were all busy leveling up, and he was worried about not finding someone to be an NPC.

Cat girl shop assistant.

Enough to make those beasts who shout succubus succubus all day excited for a while.

Sha La didn't respond.

Luo Yan thought this little wild cat was depressed, and was about to come up with two sentences of chicken soup to coax the ghost, but heard a steady snoring sound.

I saw a thin silver thread hanging beside the mouth that was breathing lightly, and the slightly raised corners of the mouth were like a small boat drawn on the Milky Way.

I don't know what delicious food she dreamed of, actually making the child greedy like this.

A certain black-hearted boss was a bit dumbfounded.

"Good guy..."

Actually fell asleep! - (Thanks to "Lin Qing Yu" for the alliance leader tip!!!) (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
