chapter 200

When the night fell, the seaside market lit up one by one, and the warm yellow lights through the windows added a bit of romance and mystery to the simple and heavy vermilion buildings.

A little pangolin wearing a long robe walked through the damp street, trotting along the shadow of the building, and came to the corner of an inn. He raised his head and looked at the window showing the lively silhouette and took a deep breath.

“It smells so good,” he thought.

Since a few days ago, several travelers who had come to the world moved in there, every day this inn would emit a unique smell of food, and it was those new guests who were making delicious food.

He was just a little demon with low demon power, there was nothing that could be exchanged for food. He could only slip under the window every day, crane his neck and smell it to relieve the greed.

The warm yellow window was pushed open, and a beautiful human girl poked her head out of the window.

‘This is the legendary human,’ the little pangolin who was taken aback, thought blankly.

“Sure enough, it’s here again,” the human girl said with a smile, holding a piece of freshly baked scone in her hand. The thin scone was browned on one side, and thin shallots and frothy meat overflowed from it. With the rich fragrance, the little pangolin drooled.

“Do you want to eat? I’ll give this to you,” the girl leaned down on the window edge and handed it to him.

While feeling scared, the little demon who couldn’t bear the temptation of the fragrance finally shook his long pointed tail, raised his sleeves and held up a pair of small hands to take over the hot scones. He turned around and went into the shadow of the alley.

After hiding, he showed his small head full of scales, licking the cake while peeking at Yuan Xiang.

“He looks like Li Yu.” Wu Yuan crouched on the window sill and looked at the little demon with the scone in both hands, “It seems that we have been away from home for a long time. I don’t know how Li Yu and Shi Niang are. I got a lot of beautiful beads and I want to go back to share them.”

Yuan Xiang stayed in the inn by the sea for a few days. In addition to asking about the way to the dragon mountain every day, she and Hu Qing made delicious dishes with great fanfare.

A lot of demons came there after hearing of the news, and used their sea mussels and lighting pearls to exchange food with Yuan Xiang. She also was full of curiosity and collected many rare treasures of various shapes. Of course, Wu Yuan also took the opportunity to get a lot of toys that he was fond of.

“What are you doing at the window? Come and drink with us,” a fish-headed demon drank. He was considered to be a rich demon in the market, and had unique things in his hands. He got and pulled all kinds of peculiar treasures from unknown sources, and exchanged food with Yuan Xiang.

“Ah Xiang, take a look at what good things I brought you today,” he took out a small packet of oiled paper from his arms and handed it to Yuan Xiang like a treasure.

Yuan Xiang opened it and was pleasantly surprised to find a piece of cheese-like food. After tasting it a bit, the taste was smooth and unique.

“This is a good thing, thank you. With it, I can try to make pizza for you tomorrow.” Yuan Xiang said happily, “Where did it come from?”

The big-headed murloc was very happy, bulging his cheeks, and took out a bronze jar covered with patina, and handed it to her in expectation. Yuan Xiang opened the lid carefully, but inside was a cloud of semi-liquid that had changed color, and there was an intoxicating stench.

“It’s not good. I don’t know for how many years it has been bad,” Yuan Xiang squeezed her nose. The demons’ ability to discern ingredients was so bad that she couldn’t help but think of the days when Nan He sent her poisonous mushrooms.

The fins on the body could be turned on at any time, and the name of the demon with more than a dozen eyes open on the fin was Multieye. He blinked more than a dozen pairs of eyes and took out a small silver jug, “If you have something delicious, you can’t miss a good wine. I have wine here.”

Amber-like wine was poured from the inconspicuous little jug. The wine had a mellow taste that was hard to find. What was even more amazing was that the palm-sized silver jug seemed to pour unlimited wine. As long as one raised their glass, it would continuously gush out fine wine.

Everyone had a table of delicious food brought by Yuan Xiang, drank endless wine, and listened to the sound of the ocean waves layered outside the house.

“Ah Xiang is a human, so… rare. I haven’t seen a human for hundreds of years. I especially like humans,” the murloc drank a little and started to stammer. He raised the wine glass and toasted Yuan Xiang. She happily touched the glass with him and drank it all in one fell swoop.

“Big head, weren’t you driven out of the floating world by humans? I remember when you first came, you cursed humans all day long,” Multieyed exposed his old bottom.

“Really? I don’t remember.” The big-headed murloc stretched out his thin arms and scratched the greasy fish head embarrassedly, “Humans are obviously weak, but they can always make interesting things. Especially the food, it’s better than anyone else.

Although some humans are annoying, I think most of them are incredibly cute. I really like them.”

He clasped his thin hands together, and his fish eyes narrowed, showing a nostalgic expression.

Humans may have many shortcomings, but most demons were simple by nature. Recalling humans, they still only remembered the good things. They had a very warm and friendly attitude toward Yuan Xiang, the only human who had come to the world, and often people asked her for a drink. They gave a little gift, and Yuan Xiang would not refuse anyone.

That wine was really delicious with lingering aftertaste, it wouldn’t hurt to drink more.

Before long, the big and small demons pushed their cups and were drunk in the lobby of the wine shop.

Wu Yuan took Shi Jun and found Hu Qing through the demons who had already started singing and dancing after drinking too much wine.

“Sister Hu Qing, where is Ah Xiang?”

“I don’t know, she had drank a bit too much, she should be with Xiao Nan, right?” Hu Qing turned around and said back.
