#144 - Brother Xiaoyao, give me another table!
“Hiss! Soul Cleaving Pill!”
“The Soul Cleaving Pill is in this bottle?”
Xu Chengxian’s snake eyes widened, and his snake tongue flicked out, clearly quite shocked.
“That’s right.” Mo Xuan nodded.
“Oh, what’s it for?”
“…What do you think?” Mo Xuan looked at him, the corners of her mouth curving up, but a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
“Hehe, Sister-in-law, I just thought you were kind and amiable, so I wanted to joke with you.” Xu Chengxian put his two blood-qi claws forward, cupping his fist and said, “Little brother was rude, Sister-in-law, please don’t hold it against me.”
“What’s with this ‘Sister-in-law’?” Mo Xuan was stunned, and then a smile spread to the depths of her eyes.
“General Yu on Mount Luyang has taken care of our three siblings. To be honest, whenever my brother Ling Yun refines pills and attracts sea monster creatures, General Yu will definitely come to help.”
“With this kind of relationship, it’s not too much for us to shamelessly call General Yu ‘Brother’, right, Sister-in-law?”
In order to get closer, Xu Chengxian spoke with seven parts truth and three parts falsehood.
Calling her ‘Brother’ and ‘Sister-in-law’ was incredibly natural and smooth.
It made Mo Xuan not know how to respond.
“You flower snake, even though you haven’t transformed into a human form, your mouth is quite clever like those of the human race.”
She paid close attention to General Yu and the affairs of Mount Luyang, especially those concerning General Yu.
She knew that General Yu had indeed frequently slain sea monsters recently, and also knew where those sea monsters came from.
He had even given her some of the Transformation Pills and Spirit Replenishing Pills that Bai Lingyun had refined.
Now, hearing Xu Chengxian call her ‘Sister-in-law’ like this, she couldn’t help but feel very pleased.
“Very well. Although I am not yet worthy of this ‘Sister-in-law’ title, I can’t let you call me that for nothing.” Mo Xuan smiled, flipped her palm, and took out another jade bottle.
She gracefully handed it over.
“There are still two Spirit Replenishing Pills in this bottle, I’ll give them all to you.”
“Thank you, Sister-in-law!” Xu Chengxian immediately stretched out his two blood-qi transformed hands and took it.
He thought, calling her ‘Sister-in-law’ twice and he got two Spirit Replenishing Pills?
Is there such a good thing?
He also thought that it was foresight to condense two arms out of blood-qi beforehand.
Now it's coming in handy!
Even more so, he shouldn't be ambiguous.
Although Xu Chengxian wasn't a moral guardian, he had a bit of a fetish for cleanliness in this regard.
A real man, even if he doesn't always act upright, at least shouldn't violate morality when it comes to romantic affairs.
Any friends he associates with, even if there's no question of entrusting his wife and children, he would never do the bastardly thing of occupying his brother's wife and daughters.
“I don’t want to offend General Yu.”
“Sister-in-law, why don’t you give me some reassurance?” he asked tentatively.
The key is, General Yu is still alive!
Not only alive, but also a Demon General!
If he ever found out who Mo Xuan was, and that he was once the champion of her martial arts tournament to recruit a husband, wouldn't he feel uncomfortable?
Just look at how Monkey Bro doesn't know Mo Xuan's identity, but because of her request, he's willing to risk offending Marquis Bishui to help.
Could nothing be going on here?
Even dogs wouldn't believe it!
Whether the dog believes it or not, Xu Chengxian doesn't believe it anyway.
“Sister-in-law, don’t decline, since you have already planned this, you must have thought of a perfect countermeasure.” Without waiting for Mo Xuan to answer, Xu Chengxian added.
He hoped that the other party could provide a foolproof plan to help him escape unscathed.
And Mo Xuan didn't disappoint him.
With a few simple words, she pointed out a path for him.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
Inside the Marquis Bishui’s mansion, breakfast was laid out.
The twenty-plus great demons were served separately.
Each person had a long table in front of them.
The table was filled with the meat of demon beasts from the Primal Chaos Secret Realm.
Various cooking methods were used, making it fragrant, flavorful, and visually appealing.
“Mm! Fragrant!”
Xu Chengxian buried his head and ate heartily.
When he encountered something particularly delicious, he savored it carefully.
If the taste was average, he would open his mouth wide, bite down, suck it in, and then swallow it with his head tilted back.
Although the chaotic aura on the demon beasts had been removed, reducing the stimulating sensation.
However, a lot of spiritual ingredients were added during cooking.
In short, the taste was far better than the craftsmanship of the little demons on Mount Luyang.
This trip wasn't in vain!
It's just that the portion is a little small.
“Old Ghost, why are you eating so fast?” Ling Xiao frowned beside him.
She didn't say that Xu Chengxian's eating was uncivilized.
She simply didn't understand.
At yesterday's banquet, the flower snake wasn't so crude.
He almost wolfed down his entire table.
Ling Yunzi also cast a questioning look.
“I want seconds!” Xu Chengxian’s words were both a response to Ling Xiao and a statement to the Marquis's mansion little demon standing by to serve them.
The little demon was stunned.
Probably no great demon who came to the Marquis's mansion had ever eaten so openly.
The little demon seemed to be hearing such a request for the first time, so he couldn't respond immediately.
“Can I have seconds?” Xu Chengxian had to ask again.
“Yes, yes! Honored guest, I'll arrange it for you right away.” The little demon quickly bowed and retreated.
After a while, other little demons came, cleared the empty plates, and brought Xu Chengxian another table.
“Thank you.” Xu Chengxian said a word of thanks, and then began to eat heartily again.
“Old Ghost?” Ling Xiao transmitted her divine sense over.
Her tone was clearly questioning his unusual reaction.
Why did the flower snake want to take advantage of even this little bit?
“Yesterday, a great beauty came to my room.” Xu Chengxian replied with his divine sense.
“Beauty? Male or female?” Ling Xiao asked.
“It’s a female demon. She said her name is Mo Xuan.”
“Demoness Mo Xuan?”
“Should be right.”
“What did she want from you?”
“She wants me to win against Jin Hong.”
“Is she taking a fancy to you?”
“If she’s not lying to me, then she’s taking a fancy to General Yu.”
“I see.” Ling Xiao thought, I knew it shouldn’t be.
Taking a fancy to Ling Yunzi would still be understandable.
Taking a fancy to Xu Chengxian, is she blind?
“I say, Sister, are you looking down on me in your heart?” Xu Chengxian didn’t read her mind this time, he could tell from the expression on Ling Xiao’s face!
“Hehe, how could I.” Of course, Ling Xiao would firmly deny it.
“Demoness Mo Xuan is looking for you, asking you to win against Jin Hong?” Ling Yunzi said, “What does she want to do?”
“She wants to use my lack of transformation to delay for ten years.” Xu Chengxian replied, “If I haven’t transformed after ten years, this competition will just be for recruiting guards for the Marquis's mansion.”
“What if you transform after ten years?”
“She said she will go into seclusion before the ten-year period to break through to the Demon General realm.” Xu Chengxian said, “The way I understand her words, once she advances to Demon General, Marquis Bishui won’t be able to stop her.”
“That’s good, it saves us from having to rack our brains for a way to escape.” Ling Xiao continued.
“Not only that, but she also taught me a way to get the Flood Dragon essence blood immediately after the fighting is over.” Xu Chengxian swallowed a large mouthful of meat and sighed, “It’s just that my sacrifice might be a bit big.”
This time, he really has to put in the effort!
Therefore, he must eat more!
“Little Demon Bro, bring me another table!”
