"Are you friends with our Xiaoling? Do you want to come upstairs and sit for a while?" Gao Ling's mother looked at Yuan Yuanyuan and asked with a little excitement.
Gao Ling looked at his mother and felt a bit of a headache.
Thinking about it now, she found it a little unbelievable. If this monster had some bad intentions, she and her mother might be in danger.
But she just walked out with the monster like this... After walking for about ten minutes, she suddenly realized something.
Oh my god! We've met before!
Gao Ling almost banged his head against the wall when he thought of that moment.
All along the way, she didn't dare to look him straight in the eye, and the monster didn't turn his head, so she didn't see his face clearly.
Only when she reached the bottom of the brightly lit building did she suddenly remember who this person was.
Ah! It turned out that the place I went to that day was a shop for monsters!
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the convenience store downstairs and saw that it was still open, so she wanted to go in and buy a bottle of water. Just then, Gao Ling's mother asked her a question, so she said, "Uh... Auntie, I won't go up. It's too late. Let's go home quickly. I'm also going home."
"Okay, if that's the case, then you should come back soon." Gao Ling's mother said, "Remember to call Gao Ling and Auntie when you get home."
Gao Lingmu looked at the man, waving at them, then turning and leaving.
The way his shadow disappeared inexplicably reminded Gao Ling of the departing figures of heroes in some novels.
Farewell, hero boss.
"Your friend is really extraordinary." Gao Ling's mother said after a while.
"Uh... yes." Gao Ling stuttered.
She felt that she was a little lacking in words now.
After sending Gao Ling home, Yuan Yuanyuan walked back slowly by herself. When she arrived at the street, she found that the team had walked a long way, almost reaching the border of the brooding area.
Yuan Yuanyuan yawned. She felt a little sleepy now. She looked around and found Liu An. She asked him if he wanted to go back with her. Liu An seemed quite interested, so Yuan Yuanyuan didn't force him to go and went back to sleep alone.
The monsters outside partying all night long, Yuan Yuanyuan slept peacefully in the house alone. The next morning, she looked outside and saw that it was empty, without a single monster.
I guess after the night parade last night, most of the monsters on the street went to sleep.
Yuan Yuanyuan stood by the window and stretched herself, feeling refreshed. She thought to herself, how wonderful it was that there was no one on the street so early in the morning.
After she got up, Liu An staggered into the room, pushed the door open, and saw Yuan Yuanyuan standing at the door looking up at the sky. He said, "Boss... you look so energetic."
"Of course... How can I have energy if I don't wake up?" Yuan Yuanyuan said.
Besides, there is an important thing to do tonight. What if I don’t sleep well and yawn at night
Yuan Yuanyuan had a rough idea of the steps of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons last night. She imagined what the scene would be like tonight - there would probably be countless monsters flying through the sky, and convoys flying around in the sky frantically.
"Today... is the Hundred Demons Festival, right?" Liu An suddenly remembered something.
"Yeah, where are you going tonight?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.
"Hmm? I don't know either." Liu An said, "This is my first time here, and I don't know any big monsters... Uh, boss, do you have any recommendations?"
"Do you have any recommendations for this thing?" Yuan Yuanyuan pondered over some common sense she had learned from Fat Cat and Black and Red during this period, and said to Liu An: "During the Hundred Demons Festival, all the monsters walk in the sky... Just like fighting spirit, the more spectacular the one, the more powerful it must be. This thing is actually a place to show off one's strength."
“… Why does it sound like military training?”
"I think so too." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "You are just an ordinary little monster, so you can choose to go or not. But if you really want to go, the boss in Ping'an District is more reliable. I recommend you to go there."
"Ah..." Liu An sighed, "Ping'an District is quite far away. I'm a little worried that something might happen if I go there alone."
Yuan Yuanyuan was packing her things for going out that night while listening to Liu An nagging behind her, "Is the Hundred Demons Festival in City C going to be lively?"
He didn't care to reason with Yuanyuan, and continued to talk to himself, "I saw so many beautiful girls yesterday... and there were also several who looked like powerful monsters standing there, standing out from the crowd."
"That kind of occasion... beautiful women and luxury cars, or a place to show off your strength. What if you accidentally become famous... ah, just thinking about it makes me excited."
Yuan Yuanyuan silently tested her dagger, then wiped it until it was shiny and there was not a single fingerprint on it.
Wow... This is definitely the coolest this knife has looked since it came with her.
Yuan Yuanyuan put the knife on the table, then picked out a piece of clothing that she thought was the most domineering in the store, picked up the needle and thread, and prepared to sew a pocket on it to hold the dagger.
She just sat there, sewing clothes quietly, with Liu An's music playing in the background all the time.
"Will there be any big monster passing by tonight?" Liu An asked.
“I think so.”
“How many will there be?”
"Hmm... dozens?"
Yuan Yuanyuan spread out her clothes and listened to Liu An asking a bunch of random questions and chatting away. She could tell from Liu An's tone that he seemed to be looking forward to the Hundred Demons Festival in City C and wanted to go and see it very much.
Come to think of it... For monsters, the Hundred Demons Festival is equivalent to the New Year. Judging from yesterday, Liu An must be a person who likes to be lively.
Yuan Yuanyuan heard from Liu An many stories about past Hundred Demons Festivals, but they were not about City C, but about other cities.
"It is said that during the Hundred Demons Festival, there was a particularly beautiful demon girl. She was the focus of all demons that year. Two men fell in love with her at the same time, so they fought each other during the Hundred Demons Festival. It seems that this happens every year..."
“Ah…” Yuan Yuanyuan responded nonchalantly.
"Also, when humans and monsters were at war, humans had the upper hand and monsters were at a disadvantage. The monsters were demoralized for a while, and humans thought the monsters would never make a comeback. But one day, humans on the front line saw a group of monsters parading in the sky... After that, the monsters regained their spirits and were invincible for several years."
Yuan Yuanyuan bit off the thread and looked at the time. It was already past five in the evening. It took her a long time to sew the pockets. The two pockets were just hidden inside the clothes. She tried to insert the dagger into them. The size was just right.
"How is this dress... made?" Yuan Yuanyuan unfolded the dress and showed it to Liu An.
"It looks... well, pretty thick." Liu An gave this comment, "And it's expensive."
"That's all." Yuan Yuanyuan put her clothes aside and went over to have dinner.
"Boss, how much are you going to price this dress for?" Liu An asked as if it was normal.
“Uh… just leave it there for now.” Yuan Yuanyuan said.
Liu An said, "It seems... the Hundred Demons Festival can boost the morale of the monsters... But the scene back then should be difficult to reenact, otherwise I really want to see it with my own eyes."
"Well... it's really hard to see it happen. After all, it was during wartime." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "It's definitely not going to happen on such a big scale now."
"Boss... tell me about yourself." Liu An suddenly turned to look at Yuan Yuanyuan, "I don't expect you to be more aggressive... at least you should have a heart for progress, don't always be like a salted fish."
"Ah?" Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned by Liu An's question. She thought for a moment and said, "Motivation is something you don't have yourself, so why are you talking about me?"
"How am I not motivated?"
"You've been staying in this shabby little shop of mine... Where do you get the ambition to make progress?" Yuan Yuanyuan said.
"Then I am more ambitious than you." Liu An said, "Look at those big monsters, one by one, they are domineering and powerful. You are not really a salted fish that has turned into a demon, are you?"
"Hey... I like ordinary things, but doesn't that mean I'm not cool enough?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Liu An with disdain.
Although she knew that she was a loser, she would never admit it even if she died. If she admitted it, she would lose. This is called strategy, don’t you understand
It was obvious that Liu An didn't believe Yuan Yuanyuan's nonsense at all. He looked at her with secret and subtle contempt, and suddenly heard a loud noise outside.
He and Yuan Yuanyuan turned their heads at the same time, just in time to see a car slowly stop at the door.
"What is this?"
Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and just happened to see the car at the door.
The car was pure white, without a trace of other colors, and on the curtains there was a particularly intricate pattern sewn with purple thread.
The pattern looked like a rising full moon.
There were several small cars following the big car in front, and a woman got out of one of the cars.
She was wearing snow-white clothes and sparkling silver jewelry.
There were purple patterns painted on her face, making her look like an elf walking out of the forest.
…
"What is this?" Liu An asked again in confusion.
The car came out of nowhere.
In the night, it was like an uninvited guest.
Several women got off the car one after another. They were all wearing the same clothes and had similar paintings on their faces, but with different patterns in the details.
They floated over and stopped at the door.
"Sir." The woman who came down first bowed her head and said to Yuan Yuanyuan, "The sir is waiting for you in the car."
Yuan Yuanyuan put on her clothes and walked towards the car.
She passed by Liu An, who seemed to be in a trance, and said in a low voice, "Take good care of the house and don't go out."
Liu An is now just like Liu Erdai at the entrance of the village.
He looked up at Yuan Yuanyuan with a confused look on his face.
This extremely luxurious car, parked on this small street, really feels out of place.
Fortunately, there weren't many monsters watching.
Yuan Yuanyuan inexplicably felt as if she had achieved revenge. She walked towards the car with a feeling of relief, and she was almost about to laugh out loud.
Of course, no one can know what she is thinking now.
…
Liu An watched Yuan Yuanyuan step onto the car step by step.
Immediately afterwards, several white horses and the carriage flew into the sky, running in the sky in an instant, bringing up a purple and silver glow.
