The man on the display stand was just leaning on the chaise longue, reading a book, drinking tea, and doing some trivial things that humans are used to doing every day.
The demons onlookers quickly became excited.
"Ah, so cute, so soft and cute, did you see him drinking water? You have to use such a small cup to drink it little by little."
"Humans are really fragile and squeamish, but why do you poke me like that, I really want to raise one, but I'm afraid I won't be able to raise it."
"I heard that hundreds of years ago, humans were creatures that could be seen everywhere. Why are they so rare now?" The person who said this was a young demon who was born in the spiritual world and was less than a hundred years old. For him , the era of human convergence is already a legendary story.
Gradually, some demons began to express their intention to adopt.
The skinny merchant with the frog head jumped to the stake beside the pillar, and flipped through the stack of files in his hand.
"Master Qiongqi, you can't do it. You have a history of cannibalism. Now that humans are close to extinction in the next world, they can no longer be used as food."
The red-haired, burly and powerful demon with prominent fangs snorted unhappily, turned and left the crowd.
After he left, a big monster with a bell-like sound, muscular knots, and two horns on his forehead, paid a high price to the frog vendor to buy the rare humans on the booth.
The seller of the frog head took several pages of dense feeding precautions and explained to him one by one:
"Having a warm nest, comfortable clothing, human skin is very delicate, and even the slightest rough fur can cut their soft skin."
"Food preparation is the most important thing. It is difficult to find edible things in the world. You must buy them through special channels. You must not feed them indiscriminately. The nutrition and taboos of matching are written on it."
"You must take time to take it outside for a walk every day, otherwise it is easy to cause semen diseases due to depression."
…
"In the end, he must be provided with gold, silver and spiritual stones as pocket money every month, and he must be brought home for a family visit every six months. These are all written in the contract, but compared to the cost of raising humans, these are nothing more than a few things. It's just a little thing."
The tall and strong-looking monster rubbed his hands excitedly, blushed, and laughed, "I know, I know, I know all this. I raised a human, and I successfully raised it until I was one hundred and twenty years old. Woolen cloth."
There was a sound of admiration and admiration from the demon.
"When she died, I was so sad, I couldn't get over it for a long time." The tall demon wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with fingers like tiger claws, and turned into a monster with a horse body, tiger claws, and two horns on its head. Put your own paw prints on the sale and purchase contract.
The man on the booth walked down casually, took the initiative to stand beside him, and stretched out his hand to smooth the mane on his neck.
"Ah, I'm dead. He's so sweet and docile."
"I took the initiative to help brush hair so quickly. I heard that humans are very good at brushing their hair. There is no other family that can compare with them."
"Human life is very delicate. Even if they don't do anything, it's fun to watch them eat and drink. Some demons are local tyrants, which makes me envious."
The demon beasts onlookers were talking about it, and the demon who successfully got the pet carefully hunched the human on his back, proudly raised his chest and stepped on the clouds to leave.
Yuan Xiang'er heard the frog talk for a long time, and was shocked to realize that in the eyes of the monster, the human race is such a squeamish and precious pet.
She couldn't help but ask: "Will that person really be willing? How could there be a human being willing to be a demon's pet?"
Wu Yuan, who has lived in the spiritual world since childhood, said on her shoulder: "Here, the number of humans is extremely rare, and demons are very rare. If you choose to be raised, life will be much easier, and there should be very few people who are unwilling to be raised. Right? I just wanted to take a look at human beings, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. In the end, I just didn’t do it again and again, ran an incomparably long way, and slipped directly into the floating world, and then I met you, Xiang’er.”
Yuan Xianger, who was refreshed with three views, had to admit that he had some truth in what he said.
Walking slowly along the street all the way, there are various shops with exaggerated decorations on both sides, and there are countless products that Yuan Xianger has never heard of.
When the lanterns first came on, they walked into a lively restaurant and inn with the sign "Lishe".
The monsters seem to have very casual requirements for food and accommodation, so there is only one restaurant in the huge market, which provides services for the very few monsters who have higher requirements on life.
The restaurant is lively and festive, and most of the guests dining here are dressed in gorgeous clothes, chatting and laughing. There are big monsters with huge stature and ferocious faces, and there are miniature elves in groups.
Five pots of steaming food were served, and the others were all digging in their heads. Only Yuan Xianger couldn't use chopsticks when she saw the strange ingredients in the bowl.
It's no wonder that monsters think humans are very squeamish. They treat food not only in a simple and rude way, but the ingredients are too random to swallow.
"Ah Xiang, don't be so picky about food, these are the only things you can eat in the inner world. You can't find delicate food like this in the world."
Wu Yuan sucked and sucked, and Yuan Xianger was automatically marked with a mosaic, and she didn't want to see the half-eye dinner again.
"You can eat, I'll just eat the dry food. I really can't eat the food here." Yuan Xiang'er declined Wu Yuan's proposal to divide the worms in his bowl into half.
"Who said my food can't be eaten?"
In the mezzanine on the second floor, a banshee's neck stretched like noodles. Her eyebrows and eyes are delicate, and her head with neat hair hangs down from the second floor, directly in front of Yuan Xianger,
Yuan Xiang'er and her upside-down head stared with big eyes and small eyes for a long time. Before she could be startled by her long, weird neck, the long-necked banshee called out in a fuss.
"Oh, it's actually a human, it startled me."
She quickly retracted her neck and ran downstairs again, wiping her hair carefully with her hands as she walked.
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 is no longer popular in today's world, but it was a style that was popular for a long time hundreds of years ago.
She was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe on her upper body, but she didn't wear any Luo skirts on her lower body. She only had a pair of hot pants that couldn't be shorter, revealing a pair of long straight legs. The legs were covered with cyan graphic tattoos, which made her imposing. The pattern is matched with the slender white and tender legs, showing an informal beauty.
"Are you a human? My name is Li Niang, and I'm the boss here." The woman sat down on the table opposite Yuan Xiang'er, and looked her up and down with light in her eyes, "It's pure aura, absolutely perfect. What about the pure-bred human beings. I never imagined that there are such human beings, where did you come here?”
"We came from the world."
"Human world? Do you mean 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. Over the years, fewer and fewer human beings from the floating world have strayed here. I almost forgot what it looked like there. ."
"What is the floating world?"
"Oh, it's been too long, I've forgotten that it wasn't called this way. We call the world you live in the floating world, and here we call it the inner world." Gui Niang covered her mouth and smiled, "Hehehe, it's actually the same. , it's just a name."
She looked at the untouched food in front of Yuan Xianger, and said a little embarrassedly, "You can't eat this, right? There is no human food here, so it is very troublesome to buy it. If you want to eat it, you can go to the forest by yourself. Find some ingredients suitable for human beings and store them in the kitchen for processing. I also provide accommodation here, if you want, I can let you stay for one night for free. Rest assured, Lishe is the safest place here, and fighting with each other is prohibited. As long as it is No matter how weak you are, no one is allowed to bully you when you walk into Lishe."
Yuan Xiang'er thanked her fluently.
Li Niang led the way, her legs full of tattoos strode forward, "You're welcome, the rare human beings are purebreds. I'm quite excited, hehe, I can brag when I look back."
After having a place to rest, Nan He entrusted Yuan Xiang'er to Du Shuo, and set out to find food in the nearby mountains and forests.
"Ah Xiang, wait a minute, I'll go get you something to eat." Nan He said.
After Nan He left, the side had just settled down, and soon a monster came knocking on the door.
Yuan Xianger answered the door, and saw a man with wide sleeves and light robes, who was romantic in Jin and Wei Dynasties, described as handsome. Or male goblin.
"I heard that there was a human guest, and I was very happy. Tete came to see him." As he spoke, he unfolded the paper fan and swayed gently, handsomely and gracefully, "I'm going down the mountain, dare to ask the distinguished guest. Name?"
He doesn't look like a demon at all, but rather like a suave scholar, but unfortunately, on the front and back of the snow-white paper fan, there are eight extremely conspicuous words "Peerless Merry" and "Unparalleled Beauty".
Yuan Xianger worked very hard to hold back her laughter.
This is probably a monster who likes the way of human life and wants to imitate but is somewhat nondescript.
"I have specially prepared a table of food in the seat, all of which can be eaten by human beings. Let's go and eat it right now?" When he spoke, he tried his best to be like those famous people. Half a sentence is incomplete.
"You're welcome, we've all eaten dinner."
Yuan Xianger declined this strange monster who had suddenly arrived and was extremely enthusiastic.
"Ah, it really is a pure bloodline. Such a suspicious and cautious person is a pure human being." The mountain servant did not show any anger, but became happy, with a very graceful smile on his face. The floating world where human beings live is unfortunately not born at the right time and has no chance to see it. Now it is very dangerous there, and as a demon, I have no chance to go there. So I heard that a few friends came from there, and I was eager to get to know them. Listen to When you hear the story of the floating world, please don't take offense."
"It's just a light meal, it's set downstairs, I've already had people set up the dishes, and I hope you will show your appreciation." He bowed and bowed again, with a sincere and sincere attitude, "I just want to chat It's just a chat, please."
Seeing that he had mentioned this, Yuan Xianger nodded and agreed with the fact that she also wanted to know about the situation here with the demons who lived here.
Bring Du Shuo, Hu Qing and Wu Yuan to the banquet together.
The banquet was set in a very luxuriously furnished room, and the people who came in and out of the dishes were wooden puppets covered with runes.
The puppets looked sluggish, but their movements were delicate and precise, and they never went wrong.
Although the dishes served are simple in production process, they are indeed edible food for human beings. It is no longer like those terrifying demon bodies, or weird insects and snakes, etc. that cannot be swallowed at all.
Although Yuan Xianger arrived here not long ago, she also knew that there are very few ingredients that humans can eat in this world, and no one will specially reserve them, so it is not easy to buy them in the market. The reception of this mountain servant was considered attentive.
"Ah Xiang doesn't need to meet me, eat it with confidence. I have several humans in my family, so these meals are also ready-made, so it's not too much trouble."
Du Shuo checked the food secretly, and found nothing suspicious, just before and Yuan Xianger nodded.
Yuan Xianger had never been to the spiritual world, and Du Shuo and Hu Qing had not returned for decades.
Therefore, I often consult with the mountain attendant. The mountain attendant is very talkative, knows everything, and has nothing to say. They quickly got to know each other.
Shan Shi and Yuan Xianger also inquired about things in the human world.
Whenever Yuan Xiang'er elaborated on one or two things, he clapped his hands happily, "So it turns out, the floating world is really interesting. Listening to Ah Xiang's words today is enough to give me a long aftertaste."
He took out a transparent crystal ball from his arms, tapped it with a folding fan, and a mansion hovering in the air appeared in the crystal ball.
Yuan Xiang'er had an impression of this house, because they had seen it when they entered the market. It was a yard hanging in the air, with water flowing down from the railings like a waterfall.
Then the picture in the crystal ball began to enlarge, and the field of vision seemed to follow the birds into the courtyard, browsing the scenery in this house all the way.
The exquisite building is a long row of wooden plank roads. High wooden stakes are buried in the water. On both sides of the plank road are ponds full of large lotus flowers. A human woman of silk and satin with emeralds on her head sat on the turret of the boat, stretched out her arms with several bracelets full of green emeralds, and moved the lotus flowers on the lake.
The woman's appearance was very ordinary, and in a world full of goblins, it could be said to be ugly, but her life was extremely arbitrary and luxurious.
The screen turned again, and entered the attic, there was a man with gorgeous hair and an old man on the platform. He leaned on crutches, sat in the house eating dinner, followed closely by several dolls around him, brought tea and water, slumped his shoulders and pinched his legs, taking care of him in every possible way.
The picture turns again, the courtyard is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by white clouds, and there are several human beings, men and women, young and old. disgusting situation.
"Ah Xiang, these are all human friends I invited to stay at home for a long time. They all say that they are like entering a fairyland on earth, and they are very happy." Shan Servant came down a few times ago and approached Yuan Xiang'er, with a gentle tone and burning eyes. " I wonder if I have the honor to invite Axiang to live with you?"
Compared with other demons, this mountain servant obviously understands the mentality of human beings better. He also turned a corner in his speech, not talking about being a pet directly, but only talking about being a guest, saving face.
In fact, he has never been to the real world, and he can't even summon the courage to really climb mountains and waters, and cross a long distance to see the last time.
But for some reason he likes to keep humans in captivity. The family environment is 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 he had brought the pure-bred human he dreamed of today, and he was overjoyed and came with a bargaining chip, thinking that he would be able to impress any human being.
Of course, Yuan Xianger firmly refused in the end.
"Why is this?" Shan Shi's beautiful face was wrinkled, he looked at Du Shuo and Wu Yuan and thought for a long time, "Do you already have a master? But I saw that these two were human apostles, It can't be your master."
"Sorry, I really didn't mean that. Thank you for your hospitality, I think we should go." Yuan Xianger stood up, ready to leave.
"No, no, you can ask for anything you want. You humans like gold, and I can build you a house with gold." The mountain attendant said eagerly, "When you live with me, I will never let you go. Don't interfere in any of your actions, if you don't like me, just watch you from afar, isn't it okay?"
Yuan Xianger never imagined that she would become one of the must-have collectibles in the minds of this figurative collector, so she could only refuse to laugh or cry.
Because of his wealthy family, Shan Shi has only loved human beings since he was a child, and he has all successfully earned his own house. He has never had a favorite human that he could not buy. Feeling anxious now, he reached out and grabbed Yuan Xianger's wrist.
"I really like pure-blooded humans, and I have always wanted to have one. Unfortunately, even though the humans in the realm claim to be of pure blood, they still have the blood of some demons. , I really like you very much, please think about it again."
Before Yuan Xiang'er could react, the sliding wooden door of the house was pulled open with a clatter, and the icy cold air almost rushed in. A fat boar threw in from the door with a whimper and was smashing into the mountain attendant's face, knocking him out. Smashed a big somersault.
Nan He appeared at the door, furious and murderous.
The mountain servant pushed the fat pig off his body and got up. The handsome face was smashed to reveal a long nose and a pair of sharp fangs.
He covered his face and saw the bloody corpses of the same kind on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes, "If you don't want to sell it, forget it, why fight demons."
The night is getting darker,
Yuan Xianger, who had been sleeping all the way, was finally able to rest in a place with a roof bed.
She was lying on Lishe's bed, which was probably the most wonderful "hotel" she had ever lived in in her life. The raw stones of various precious gems in the world were used as the basic building materials here.
Huge amethysts, yellow jade, garnets and turquoises were randomly crowded together to form a bumpy wall.
On the ceiling, a group of transparent fish with glowing bodies swims back and forth, providing lighting for the house, soft light and shadow walk on the magnificent wall, and the thin multicolored light changes in the small space, forming a A wonderful and fantastic world.
If you don't need light to rest, just push the window open, and those little things like glazed lamps will wag their tails and line up to swim out of the window, hovering over the lishe, and open the window to greet them when needed.
The room so "luxurious" was so empty that there was almost nothing in it, and there was only a huge lair in the corner.
A standard bird's nest constructed of grass, wood and feathers is the bed provided for the guests to rest. Yuan Xianger was lying on it, feeling uncomfortably stabbed by the dead branches, and she missed the soft and warm fur pillow that belonged to her very much.
"Xiao Nan, what are you doing?" She couldn't help calling Nan He with a contract.
"Well, practice." (Irritated, depressed, cold and sad on the roof)
"Come down? It's warmer in the house."
"You rest first." (Okay, here I am. No, no, I'm still mad.)
"You're still angry, don't you want to see me when you're angry?"
"… "
(I can't get angry when I see you, but I want to be angry again.)
The emotions that come from my mind are very interesting. Yuan Xianger was about to laugh at his inconsistent words and deeds.
After Nan He finished speaking, he pricked up his ears and waited for a long time. He found that the connection with Yuan Xianger had been cut off, and his mind suddenly became silent.
He squatted on the vermilion roof of Lishe and looked at the moon in the sky. The moon in the spiritual world was very big at night, and the ground was shining brightly. Some night-walking fairies, with their seven or eight companions on their lights, floated on the street. walk through. This is the world of monsters, and there are many monsters with handsome appearance and beautiful hair.
Shouldn't Axiang be happy
At first, Mingming thought that as long as she could accompany her, it was enough, and she had already made up her mind to respect the customs of her race, but why did she become more and more greedy and insufficient.
Seeing that pig demon grabbing A Xiang's hand and saying that he could talk to her, he could hardly bear to be angry when he liked her.
The thought that Xiang'er might one day hold another beautifully-haired monster, like himself, stroking the other's body, pinching the other's chin, and hooking the person's tongue to kiss, he felt like he was being hit by a blunt knife Rubbing slowly is generally sore and painful.
I don't want to share that hot hug with others, I hope that ecstatic kiss is only my own.
Nan He found that a desire that was inherited from his blood rose up anxiously in his heart. The desire to monopolize his partner was so strong that he did not want to share those fascinating experiences with anyone, but only wanted to be between the two of them alone.
It was only at this moment that Nan He realized the power of the bloodline. And just thinking about it, it's almost unbearable.
Nan He was lying on the cold roof with his ears drooping, feeling so lonely and sad.
"Got you!"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded, startling Nan He.
A smiling head emerges from the edge of the raised eaves.
Yuan Xiang'er lifted her skirt and climbed up the borrowed ladder, carefully stepping on the smooth glazed tiles.
Sure enough, as soon as she saw her face, all her anger and jealousy disappeared instantly.
When Yuan Xiang'er showed her head and walked towards her with her skirt in hand, Nan He's tail had already stood up faithfully before her heart, and swayed back and forth there happily.
He stretched out his hand to pull Yuan Xianger, Yuan Xianger sat down next to him and hugged his arm affectionately.
"Xiao Nan worked so hard to find food for me, but I came here and ate something delicious with others. I didn't think about it carefully. I should apologize to you."
Nan He didn't speak, he turned around, stretched out his hand and put Yuan Xianger into his arms, hugged her tightly, and buried his head covered in silver light on her shoulder.
"It's me who loses his temper. It's me who's not good," he said in a gruff voice.
(Ah Xiang, I like you very much. I like the kind of like I like very much.) It is this sentence that keeps coming from my heart.
He hugged so hard that Yuan Xianger could clearly sense the sadness in his emotions.
"Nanhe, you and I are the same, and there is no difference between high and low. If you have anything unpleasant, just tell me about it, okay?"
Nan He thought about it for a long time, and Yuan Xianger felt that after chewing that sentence back and forth on the tip of his tongue eight hundred times, he was finally willing to say it.
"I... I hope you only want me alone."
As if he was afraid of hearing the answer that made him sad, after he finished saying this, he increased the strength of his arms and held Yuan Xianger in his arms, refusing to look her in the eyes.
"Anan, what are you talking about?" The man in his arms stretched out his soft hands and gently stroked his back, "I only have you."
Being smashed by the unexpected surprise, Nan He's mind was almost blank for a moment.
Yuan Xiang'er heard a mess of garbled characters in her mind. The man was so happy he didn't know what to think.
After a while, he released his hand, held Yuan Xianger's shoulder, and said eagerly,
"Ah Xiang, what did you say?"
"I said that I only like you, you are the only wolf in my life, and I don't want anyone else anymore."
It was late at night. The windows of Lishe were opened one after another, and strands of silver fish wandered out of the windows under the moonlit night, converging into a river in the air. The warm yellow river belt surrounded the layers of Lishe, the Milky Way Streaming light, bright stars.
