Blood on the fingertips... It must be very painful. It's quite cruel of the person to do it.
Gao Ling didn't quite understand the specific principles, but he copied and wrote down all the processes.
As for whether to use monster blood or human blood... it's better not to write it so clearly for now, in case something terrible happens.
Gao Ling drew a picture and posted the cartoon online, quietly watching the waiting little chrysanthemum spinning around.
Turned a bit.
Turned twice.
Suddenly the page jumped and showed the words "Published successfully". She slapped her thigh and thought, wow, this actually works.
The Internet was still bustling with activity, and no one noticed this place... However, Gao Ling felt inexplicably cautious. She waited online for half an hour and found that no one mentioned the little talisman in the comments. She couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy, she was just quite anxious.
It was not until two o'clock in the middle of the night that Gao Ling went to bed, turned off the lights, and tossed and turned in bed.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't quite understand who the man outside was, but when he came in, she was suddenly startled.
Oh my god... Good, so handsome...
When she saw the person walking towards her, she stood up almost subconsciously, and then watched the person walking towards her step by step.
"Excuse me." The man opposite said with a smile, "Are you Mr. Deng?"
His eyes were also very blue, but they looked different from human blue eyes. They were very big and looked misty, as if covered by a layer of fog.
"Yes, it's me." Yuan Yuanyuan answered quickly.
"Since you are Lord Deng... may I have a word with you?" the man opposite asked.
His voice had the same misty feeling as his eyes. It sounded like a sleepwalker talking, very soft and soothing.
"Yes, sure." Yuan Yuanyuan almost stood up to give him a seat. Liu An, who was standing next to him, had an expression that said "Fuck, boss, you must have taken the wrong medicine." He looked at Yuan Yuanyuan's actions and said, "Don't bother me, boss. I'll go get a chair over here. You two can chat slowly. I have something to do before I go out."
He ran out while talking and brought a chair over soon. Yuan Yuanyuan carefully observed the man in blue clothes opposite. He came over and sat on the chair that Liu An brought over, then slowly took out a box in his hand.
"Some time ago, I came a little late because of something at home." He still had that soft voice, with long dark black hair that looked very fluffy and a little light, like a ball of black mist. "So when I came this time, I brought some things from my home as a gift to apologize to you."
Oh my god, he actually brought something with him? Is it so particular? Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the man in blue clothes in confusion. He looked like an elf walking out of the mountains. He slowly took out a box and pulled out a long and thin bottle from it.
It's a wine bottle.
I may not know Yuan Yuanyuan by any other names, but I probably will never forget this person in my life.
The bottle is blue glaze without any flaws, and looks like it was carved out of a piece of blue jade.
"I don't have anything else valuable." The man opposite took out a wine bottle and two small wine glasses bit by bit, placed one in front of Yuan Yuanyuan and the other in front of himself.
"Only recently did our family brew the Black Deer Pearl... It's the first time in nearly a hundred years that the bottle has been opened. Please come and taste it."
Black deer beads
Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it in her mind. She had been working in the tavern for so long and had come into contact with at least three-digit amounts of liquor. What kind of liquor was this "Black Deer Pearl"
Although she didn't understand anything else, there was one thing that Yuan Yuanyuan was clear about.
Black Deer Pearls, never heard of them, should be very valuable.
Yuan Yuanyuan subconsciously picked up the full glass of wine in front of her. The person opposite her had a very beautiful posture when pouring the wine, which combined with his hazy feeling made it seem like a dream that he couldn't get out of.
"I'm late, so I'll drink three cups as punishment. Let me drink it first as a token of my respect."
…
On that day, the school was still very peaceful, at least that's how it looked in the eyes of most monsters.
When Tang Shi was walking out with her schoolbag, she passed by students leaving school and turned to look at the two-story wooden house over there.
She hasn't been to that store since she went back to school because her father said that the boss might have some trouble recently, so he wouldn't let her go.
Another tricky thing...
Tang Shi really didn't understand what kind of difficult problem the boss had... That kind of thing was too profound for the boss. It felt like if it got any more profound, the boss would bury his head in the quilt.
She also asked her father, "Dad, what kind of difficult things does the boss always have? It was before the Chinese New Year, and it was after the Chinese New Year. There is always something going on. I really can't tell what kind of difficult things he has..."
After hearing this, her father slapped her hair, rubbed it, and answered the question irrelevantly, "Where do you like to go to play?"
"I like it." Tang Shi said. There is free tea and comics, and we can brag and complain to each other when we have nothing to do, except that we are sometimes forced to practice martial arts... How fun is it
"Then... go play again after a while, at least don't go now." Her father said after thinking for a while.
… Tang Shi still didn’t understand why her father said that, but her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a sharp scream.
"Where do so many crows come from?" The people around stopped and pointed at the birds above their heads. A dense flock of crows above their heads stopped and suddenly landed on a dry tree.
"Oh my god, this is so scary." Someone nearby said, stopping to take photos and videos with his phone, "Why are there so many crows all of a sudden?"
"The crows are probably going after the dead... I've never seen so many crows in the city."
“I think he’s pretty handsome…”
Tang Shi stopped and looked at the tree over there.
Her pupils suddenly dilated and instantly focused on a crow, just in time to meet a pair of blood-red eyes.
This is... the crow from the Wu family.
What happened... Why did the crow from the Wu family come here
A group of monster classmates from the same school as Tang Shi also stopped and looked over there, and everyone exchanged glances with each other.
What happened? Why did so many monster crows suddenly appear
After all, these students are still students in school, and among the relatively older monsters, most of them are still regarded as children, or even infants.
So they don't really know what's going on.
Tang Shi doesn’t know now, but many years later, she knows this thing very clearly.
That night, the student forum exploded... countless students posted all kinds of messages on the forum in anger.
A piece of news titled "A Taoist priest took away a local monster at the border for no reason" set off the entire forum. In this forum where only a few small monsters existed, it instantly caused chaos and aroused the anger of all the students.
The crows that filled the sky that day were actually the crows that were used to deliver messages in City C. The Wu family in City C was responsible for delivering messages, but in the past ten years, nothing major had happened in City C, so those crows had never appeared in groups.
The crows flew all over the city C during the day, like a silent sad song.
…
At this time, Yuan Yuanyuan was still drinking slowly with the man in front of her.
The person opposite had a fair and rosy face, which turned red at this moment, as if even the corners of his eyes were red, and his misty eyes seemed to be filled with water.
He looked drunk, as if he was about to fall down at any moment, but he was still pouring wine into the glass bit by bit, clinking glasses with Yuan Yuanyuan.
…
Although the guy on the opposite side looked like he would fall down at any minute, this guy has been acting like this since an hour ago.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt dizzy and the person in front of her looked blurry and blurry.
The last time she drank so much was when she graduated from college... Although she was drunk now, her brain was still able to control her actions and prevent her from doing anything embarrassing.
…It’s better than running naked on the street after getting drunk.
Damn, I never expected that such a delicate and weak little white flower could drink so much
He looked like he would pass out at any moment, so Yuan Yuanyuan had to drink with him. As a result, he drank so much that he was almost drunk.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know if her face was red, but her vision was really blurry... She couldn't even focus on one point for a long time.
She kept asking herself in her mind, three times eight is twenty-four, four times eight is thirty-two, five times eight is forty... OK, I'm not drunk yet, and I can still recite the multiplication table, ahaha.
… In fact, how many normal people would recite the multiplication table in their heads
"I heard that you were coming a long time ago, but I never received you. I'm really sorry that you came only now." The voice of the head of the Lan family became even more hazy after he was drunk, and Yuan Yuanyuan felt a headache after hearing it.
She tried hard to listen to what Patriarch Lan said.
"Actually, to be honest, you are the elder of all the noble families in our C City now." Patriarch Lan said as he poured her a glass of wine. "I never thought... In just a hundred years, C City has become like this. A hundred years... is only enough time for a child to grow into a mature adult..."
Infant? Adult? Yuan Yuanyuan was a little confused. How long can a monster live
By the way... why is he talking about this
"A hundred years of time..." The head of the Lan family sighed softly, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. His face turned so red that Yuan Yuanyuan didn't want him to drink anymore, but he couldn't say it out loud.
“Senior, you must have felt incredible when you just came back. The monsters nowadays are indeed very different from those back then.” Patriarch Lan said, “But it’s not because we don’t work hard… Our ancestor died with us when we were defeated in the war. I was just born that year.”
Gone... Is that what I thought it meant? Yuan Yuanyuan thought dizzily.
"But today... let's not talk about this for now." Patriarch Lan said drunkenly. He suddenly added, "Actually... I decided to come after watching the Demon Record last night."
"Last night's monster record?" Yuan Yuanyuan's mind finally became a little clearer, but she was still confused. She wondered, what was last night's monster record about
"In fact, I think what the Patriarch Li said is biased... Come on, let me toast you another glass." The person opposite suddenly poured another glass of wine for Yuan Yuanyuan, "You have never been such a person."
What, what kind of person
Yuan Yuanyuan felt dizzy and almost fell asleep. She didn't expect the alcohol to be so strong... The person opposite her drank three times as much as she did, so why wasn't he drunk yet
She was feeling dizzy and about to fall asleep when she vaguely heard a muffled voice from the other side suddenly asking a question.
"So... did you come back for yourself or for the demon race?"
For myself... For the demon race
This is not right... To be precise, she has never done anything for the demon clan from the beginning to the end. The demon clan has nothing to do with her.
What the hell is the demon clan? She was originally a human being... a person who was inexplicably dragged here.
The demon race... Wasn't this thing supposed to only appear in comics? She was willing to let it remain just a comic for the rest of its life.
These were what Yuan Yuanyuan was thinking in her heart, but at this moment, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
What... is wrong
It seems... I can’t say
Can’t say
Yuan Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at the person opposite her, and suddenly the hairs on her body stood up.
What did he just... ask
The person opposite also had a red face. He was playing with the small cup in his hand, as if he didn't care about anything.
But Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly shut her mouth tightly.
Because she had worked in the pub for so long, she knew one thing.
—People who drink too much cannot control their tongue.
So... did she just say anything
Yuan Yuanyuan's head was still very dizzy, but she kept shouting to herself in her mind, "I can't say it, I can't say it!"
"That's a secret, a secret!"
"A secret that's going to rot!"
The person opposite played with the cup for a while, then turned around to look secretly, and suddenly heard the person opposite slowly say, "It's for the demon clan."
"I came back this time... all for the demon race."
