Shesi turned to look at the Star Moon Wolves, who had grown noticeably larger.
"They're growing so fast! It's only been half a month…"
Shesi looked at the Star Moon Wolves, who now reached his calves. And… their teeth were definitely super strong. Shesi's shoes had already been bitten through twice. Now, every time Shesi went to sleep, he had to attach three magic arrays to his shoes before he dared to close his eyes. Who knew when these wolf pups learned the skill of concealing their presence? Were they truly a high-ranking race with extraordinary talent? But even so, they shouldn't be… Forget it, he should just wash up and go to bed. He'd probably get beaten again tomorrow.
Early in the morning, Shesi woke up to see two huge figures blocking the sunlight above his head. Shesi instantly recognized one of the wolves as the Star Moon Wolf he had seen before, and the pink one next to it must be the mother, right? And looking at the male wolf's haggard face, tsk tsk.
Shesi looked at the two wolves. The female wolf also scrutinized Shesi.
"Hmm, not bad," the female wolf said before walking away. The male wolf, however, began to introduce himself.
"My name is Swiftwind, and that is my wife, Norling. First, thank you for looking after our children for so long. This is a small token of our gratitude. Secondly, my wife's visit inevitably has the intention of testing you. Lady Merilyth and my wife have a very good relationship… perhaps even better than her relationship with me."
Shesi looked at Swiftwind's somewhat helpless expression, then at Norling, who was greeting her children.
"Is that so?" Shesi really wanted to tidy his appearance, but after continuous battles and wilderness survival, his clothes were already tattered.
That's right, Shesi not only had to fight intensely but also had to find his own food. If it weren't for his previous cramming of much herbal knowledge, he would barely have been able to save himself after eating poisonous food. Wasn't it said that this secret realm had already been explored? Why were all the fruits not recorded in the register? Was it really that perfunctory?
Shesi walked over and saw Amaymon talking to Norling. However, as soon as Shesi approached, both of them stopped talking and looked at Shesi.
"Uh… did I interrupt your conversation?"
Shesi said somewhat awkwardly.
"No, kid. Lady Norling was asking me about your information."
Shesi scrutinized Amaymon. This demon, who was rough yet meticulous in battle, probably wouldn't… "Then, my information?"
"I told her everything!" Amaymon grinned, showing his pearly white teeth, and gave Shesi a thumbs-up.
Shesi slapped his forehead.
Norling glanced at Shesi, then walked forward.
"Follow me."
"Huh? Oh…" Shesi followed. Amaymon and Swiftwind exchanged glances, then both took two steps back simultaneously and assumed their fighting stances.
"My hands are itching for a fight."
"The feeling is mutual."
Sometimes, men's thoughts can be understood with just a glance.
Shesi followed Norling, who led him to a cliff. The cliff was surrounded by flowers, as if it were a mountain made of flowers. From a distance, Shesi saw a small hill, or… a tombstone?
One person and one wolf walked closer.
"This is Lady Merilyth's tomb."
Shesi was startled by this and instinctively blurted out,
"Huh? Tomb? When did she die?"
Norling raised an eyebrow at this and turned to look at Shesi.
"You know Lady Merilyth?"
Shesi nodded stiffly, then pulled out "first love memories" Chapter 42 from his space. This was the haunted house volume Shesi had borrowed from Ameri, and the author's name on it was Merilyth.
"I used to work in the human world, and this is a work by Teacher Merilyth."
Just as Shesi was about to introduce the comic, a voice suddenly came from inside the earthen mound.
"Eh? Is that Shesi?"
Shesi's hand, holding the book, trembled.
"Holy moly, a zombie!"
Shesi turned to look at the grave mound, confirmed the voice was coming from inside, and tentatively asked,
"Auntie Mei?"
"Ah, it really is Shesi! No! Don't let Ling see that!" As soon as the voice from inside came out, Shesi felt his hand empty, and then saw the book had been snatched by Norling. When Norling opened it and looked, she was instantly captivated by the content.
Shesi quietly walked to the grave mound and whispered inside,
"Auntie Mei, what's your situation now? Weren't you in the human world?"
There was silence from inside for a moment, as if thinking about where to start, then it began to speak.
"Since you know Ameri, you must have met Henri, right?"
Shesi nodded. Although he didn't think the other party could see him, Shesi felt a bit confused right now.
"Henri is a very selfish person. He was the one who took me to the Demon World, and he… was the one who made me fall in love with him first."
It seemed that because there had been no one to share with, now that there was, everything was spilled out.
A demon, disobedient to his family's rules, secretly escaped into the human world. Perhaps due to an issue with the teleportation point, he wasn't transported to a family that had worshipped demons for generations, but rather into the boudoir of a young maiden.
"You… who are you?" The maiden tightly covered her body with the quilt. This mysteriously appearing man… or demon?
"Tsk, is the teleportation array too old? Hmm?" The demon man turned his head and saw the maiden before him.
"Food…" Unconsciously, drool began to trickle from the male demon's mouth. Both illustrations and stories described the deliciousness of humans, especially maidens used for sacrifice.
Just as the male demon was about to act, he was interrupted by the maiden's words.
"Are you… hungry? Would you like me to make you something to eat?"
The male demon felt a little puzzled by this. It seemed he had heard… right, magic… The male demon used magic on himself and then looked at the maiden.
"What did you just say?"
"I… I said, do you want me to make you something to eat?" The maiden repeated timidly, though this time she leaned further against the wall, as if feeling more secure that way.
The male demon raised an eyebrow. Was this maiden going to sacrifice herself? Food cooking itself?
The male demon nodded, seemingly a bit curious about the maiden's next actions.
"Then you… go outside."
The male demon didn't quite hear and walked closer, asking again,
"At least turn your head!" The maiden's voice reminded the male demon. The male demon subconsciously scrutinized the maiden. Just now, because it was night and due to the teleportation, he hadn't paid attention. Now looking… the faintly visible body of the maiden… The male demon's face instantly flushed, and he turned his head away.
"Go… go quickly!"
Seeing this, the maiden let out a giggle.
"I didn't expect the legendary demon to be quite shy."
"Less chatter!" The male demon directly went out the door and closed it. Seeing this, the maiden was about to pull back the quilt, then immediately covered herself again.
"Mr. Demon, you wouldn't be using invisibility to peek at me changing, would you?"
"No way! Hurry up and change!" The demon's voice came from behind the door. Only then did the maiden get up, change her clothes, turn on the light, and open the door, where she saw a young Asmodeus Anri dressed in red.
