The demon emperor doesn't want to be a white lotus

Chapter 27

You Miao is a very strange monster. As a demon emperor, he has long since had a bigu. He didn't need to use mortal things to feed his hunger, but he likes to eat food made by the human race.

There are a small number of human races settled in the Xuan Snake lineage, and their unified feature is that they have special skills and can cook a lot of delicious meals.

Of course, those people were not taken captive, they were forced to cook for the Demon Emperor, they were voluntary, for various purposes, in order to get certain rewards.

It's like doing business, they cook, and You Miao pays them wages.

But You Miao doesn't eat everything, he doesn't like the so-called delicacies of mountains and seas, but prefers those everyday meals, many things, even the meals made by his favorite cook in the Demon Emperor's Palace, he never eats too much.

As for the reason, no one knows except himself.

He seemed to be looking for a certain kind of food. It was a taste buried deep in his memory. He couldn't even describe it himself. He only knew that for a certain period of time, he would never get tired of eating it.

Before today, he hadn't eaten for a long time.

The familiar taste exploded on the tip of his tongue, and it was the same as what he ate when he was a child. At that time, his mother would often cook fish for him, and the taste was almost the same.

Is this craftsmanship that seems to be inherited in one continuous line, is it really just a coincidence?

An idea popped up in his mind, but he quickly vetoed it. Impossible, the foster mother died a thousand years ago, how could he have anything to do with the Dong family?

You Miao just kept bowing her head in thought, without any response for a long time, until everyone at the dinner table noticed something was wrong.

Xing Ji looked at You Miao with searching eyes.

But Dong's mother was worried: "What's the matter, do you not like it?"

"No." You Miao smiled, and looked at Dong's mother with a softer look. He stretched out his chopsticks again, "It's delicious."

"Huh~ As long as you like it, as long as you like it!" Dong's mother sat back with confidence, and stood up again after a while: "I almost forgot, there is still soup stewing in the kitchen!"

The atmosphere at the dinner table seemed to be back to normal. The Dong family seldom ate such a hearty meal, so they all had satisfied smiles on their faces.

You Miao looked at it, shocked at how he had that kind of thought just now, forgot to think for a while, and just mechanically picked up the fish to eat.

"······", Xing Ji couldn't see it anymore, and gave him some vegetables, "You can't just eat meat, you can eat a la carte."

"Ah?" You Miao was still a little dazed when he came back to his senses, he looked at the vegetables piled up in the bowl at some time, with a little displeasure on his face.

He actually doesn't like to eat these, maybe he could try them before, but after eating the fish in front of him, he doesn't want to force himself anymore.

Holding the chopsticks, he poked the vegetables and buried them in the rice bowl to express his attitude, which attracted Xing Ji's frequent glances.

What's going on here?Picky eater?After knowing each other for so many years, it was the first time he knew that You Miao was picky eater.

Obviously, he was willing to eat a little of everything before, although not much.

And this kind of behavior of burying disliked food under the bowl is too childish.

To his relief, You Miao ate everything in the end.

Seeing him eating so much for the first time, Xing Ji was stunned for a moment, looked down at the food in his bowl, still worried about the scene just now.

Although You Miao didn't say it clearly, but relying on his own understanding of him, there must be a monster when things go wrong, and there must be something in it that he didn't notice.

After eating, it was almost completely dark. You Miao came back to the room not long after saying hello to Xing Ji, and came out again.

The rain stopped after they came back, and now the dark clouds have cleared outside, and even the moon is sticking out.He ate too much for dinner, and he's a bit full now, so it's better to go out for a walk.

Candles, kerosene and other things are rare things for the people in Tonghua Village. They don’t use them when they can’t use them at ordinary times. Dong’s family doesn’t light up the lights very much. Must have used half of it.

But now, the room between him and Xing Ji is lit, and the candles are dim. Compared with the rest of the Dong family who can only rely on moonlight for illumination, the situation is already considered good.

You Miao sat on the stone mill in the yard for a while, and noticed that the door was not completely closed, and a crooked figure could be faintly seen in the gap that was exposed.

He stood up and walked towards the door.

"Young Master You, haven't you rested yet?" Old Dong was sitting on the dirt steps outside the door, and turned his head when he heard footsteps.

"Come out to eat and go to bed right away." You Miao leaned against the door, not revealing the lonely look on Old Dong's face when he turned his head, "How long have you been sitting here?"

He remembered that Old Dong was the first to finish the meal, and he hadn't been seen since then.

Old Dong: "Not long."

Although he said so, the middle-aged man under the bleak moonlight seemed to be in a terrible state of distress. His head was raised and pulled, like a defeated wolf king, who had lost the most important thing.

There was movement from the side. From the perspective of Old Dong, you could only see You Miao's shoes. Seeing him come and sit next to him, he pressed his forehead, "I will sit for a while and then close the door and go back."

You Miao looked up at the sky and ignored him: "Dong Zheng seems to dislike Tonghua Village very much."

Hearing this, Old Dong's body froze for a moment, "Really? He didn't tell us about it, and I don't really like it either."

"Then why didn't you choose to move?"

If you don't like where you live, then change it to another one. The Demon King who often changes his cave to practice feels that this problem cannot be solved easily.

But obviously, Old Dong didn't think so, "We can't go."

You Miao frowned: "Is it because you don't have enough money? I can give it to you."

"No, no!" Old Dong hurriedly shook his head, "It has nothing to do with this, we can't leave, after we leave, if my girl comes back, she won't be able to find us."

"You still have a daughter?" You Miao remembered what happened at the dinner table, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and asked calmly, "Is she not in Tonghua Village?"

Old Dong sighed, remembering something he regretted, "Not here, I kicked her out of the house, six years, and never came back."

You Miao flexed her fingers involuntarily, a little nervous and expectant, "Why? Why did you drive her out?"

"Because..." Old Dong was about to say, when he suddenly realized, he looked over suspiciously, "Young Master You, what's wrong with you?"

You Miao also knew that she was too excited just now, "It's okay, I'm just curious."

Old Dong didn't question it anymore, but he didn't seem to want to continue talking about it, "It's getting late, go back to sleep, I'll close the door."

You Miao let go of her hand, knowing that there was nothing she could ask today, so she got up and went back to the yard.

Before entering the room, he stared at the moon in the sky for a long time, feeling that something was wrong.

In the room, Xing Ji sat at the table and didn't know what he was busy with. Seeing You Miao came in, he tidied up and dimmed the candle, "Are you back?"

"Yeah", You Miao walked to the bedside and sat down absent-mindedly, still brooding over what happened just now, he had a premonition in his heart that the Dong family seemed to be related to the foster mother, but it still needed to be confirmed.

Just when he was in a daze, the surroundings suddenly darkened. Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to him, You Miao squinted his eyes, "Xing Ji?"

"I'm here."

In the darkness, Xing Ji answered, and the footsteps stopped at the same time.

You Miao: "Light the candles."

"That's not okay, this is the only candle, don't let it go to waste. Besides, it's time to go to bed now, what do you do with candles?" Xing Ji pretended.

You Miao almost laughed out of anger, and was about to get up, when suddenly a figure rushed towards him and pushed him down on the bed.

A hot and humid breath moved from the neck to the side of the ear, You Miao hid away, and said in a serious tone: "Get up!"

Master Zhanshen hugged him tightly like a big dog, "I'm sorry, I want to hug you."

You Miao: "..."

Xing Ji buried his head in You Miao's neck and rubbed against it, his tone was rare grievance, "You Miao, do you know what I did to you in the room earlier?"

Previously... You Miao remembered the kiss between the two of them, and was a little dumbfounded for a while: "I know."

Xing Ji: "No, you don't know!"

He said, holding You Miao tighter, "You don't know that I like you, I liked you a long time ago!"

You Miao was strangled so hard that she couldn't breathe, she lay on her back on the bed, forced to look at the roof, not understanding why Xing Ji was going crazy.

But listening to the words that were similar to confessing his heart, he felt that a certain corner of his heart was in a mess.

He naturally knew that Xing Ji liked him, because he also liked Xing Ji.

I don't know when, I don't know where, I fell in love with someone so naturally, I can't explain the reason.

Perhaps as early as the time when he lived in Yunfang Palace, that nagging young man left an irreplaceable place in his heart.

After all, it was the saddest period in his first half of his life.

I knew that I was a monster since I was a child, but I grew up in the crowd despite being a monster. In order not to arouse the suspicion of my neighbors, I will move to another place with my adoptive mother in two years, just to hide that I am taller than a human child. Fast secret.

Later, he witnessed the outbreak of monsters and beasts, and faced the fact that his real relatives were some bloodthirsty and brutal monsters with no humanity.And, in order to save him, his adoptive mother blocked the fatal blow of a monster for him and died tragically in front of him...

To be honest, he was on the verge of collapse at that time.

I don't know how he broke through the blood restriction imposed by You Jiu on him, and I don't know when Yun Fangjun appeared behind him and turned a large number of monsters into fly ash... After realizing that he had changed into a city When he was a little snake, all he wanted to do was lie still, or die.

The appearance of Xing Ji is like his salvation to a certain extent. After nearly a thousand years of getting along, he has become accustomed to having this person by his side.

You Miao reached out and hugged Xing Ji: "I like you too."

What Xing Ji wanted was this answer. For so many years, since he understood his own intentions, he has been constantly tempted.

Trials come and go, until many things are on the surface, but still dare not take a crucial step.

The kiss at noon today was not an accident. He had planned it for a long time, but was just waiting for a suitable time.

Now it seems that the timing is not bad, or in other words, every moment is an opportunity, he just almost has the courage to put all his eggs in one basket.

Relying on his familiarity with every detail of You Miao's body, Xing Ji accurately found his lips in the dark, and gently touched his lips, "You Miao..."

The gentle murmur is like a feather, touching the listener's heart.

You Miao let herself sink for the first time: "I am here."
