Just like before, Chiba Michiko rode her beloved electric donkey and came to this familiar street.
She walked into the bookstore.
"Ling-san, your beef rice!" She said sweetly as before.
"Thank you!" Ling-san said very warmly as before, "Thousand night sauce, just put it on the counter!"
Chiba Michiko nodded and placed the takeout bag in her hand on the counter.
Then, she looked at Ling-san, the contemporary sage who lived in seclusion in the busy city.
She knew that such a person definitely didn\'t want to expose himself.
Just like in the story.
The virtuous sages lived in seclusion in the busy city.
They observed the world and chose brave people to teach them knowledge and skills.
Just like Huang Shigong in ancient times, he examined Zhang Liang.
Therefore, he taught him the\ 'Art of War of Tai Gong\' and let Zhang Liang assist the wise lord and save the world.
Thinking of this, Chiba Michiko became extremely respectful.
She asked carefully, "Ling-san, I might not be able to deliver takeout to you tomorrow..."
"I\'ll ask my cousin to come... Is that okay?"
When she said this, Chiba Michiko\'s heart was beating violently.
Because she knew that only the fated and the chosen could obtain the recognition of such a sage.
"Your cousin is here?" Ling-san ate her rice and didn\'t raise her head.
"Yes!" Chiba Michiko nodded. "She arrived this morning..."
"Oh..." Ling-san agreed without hesitation. "That\'s fine!"
Chiba Michiko immediately thanked her profusely. "Thank you! Thank you! "
"Ling-san, please take care of my cousin!" She bowed deeply.
"You\'re welcome!" Ling-san raised her head and smiled.
Chiba Michiko was in an incomparably happy mood as she rode her little electric donkey back home.
Along the way, she passed through intersections and turned streets.
Finally, she arrived at the door of her house.
The lantern hanging on the door was still lit.
The sign of\ 'Chiba Family Takeout\' was still flashing.
Chiba Michiko stopped the electric donkey at the door and got out of the car.
At the door, she saw her cousin, holding a book and reading it under the street lamp.
Michiko immediately ran over with a smile. "Qianhua!"
Chiho Fujiwara raised her head and saw her cousin. She immediately smiled, and her light-colored long hair became cheerful because of this.
"Michiko!"
The two girls stood together.
Chiho Fujiwara seemed to be about the same age as Michiko.
But she was taller and paler.
The important thing was …
She was much fuller than Michiko!
As a result, Michiko felt a little ashamed in front of her cousin.
"Did you send the takeout back?" Chiho Fujiwara held Michiko's hand and asked.
"Yes!" Chiba Michiko nodded and said happily, "I just delivered takeout to Ling-san!"
When she said this, she seemed extremely proud and prideful.
It was as if it was her honor to deliver takeout to that customer!
This made Chiho Fujiwara curious. "Is that guest very powerful?"
"It's not a matter of whether he's powerful or not..."
"Ling-san is the kind of..." Michiko searched through her limited vocabulary and tried her best to describe him. Because she could not directly explain Ling-san's identity, she seemed to be a little forceful. "A very, very special person..."
Chiho Fujiwara immediately became curious. "How special?"
Michiko pursed her lips and recalled.
But …
She realized that she could not find any words to describe Ling-san's appearance.
This was because she realized that any word that she used could be offensive!
Therefore, she could only describe him as a character.
"Ling-san..."
"He has the breadth of mind of Duke Xuande, the wisdom of Wu Hou, and the benevolent attitude of an eminent monk..."
"In short, he is a very special person!"
Chiho Fujiwara listened and widened her eyes. "Is there really such a person in this world?"
The breadth of mind of Duke Xuande?
The wisdom of Wu Hou?
The benevolence of an eminent monk?
Chiho Fujiwara did not quite believe it.
"Cousin, go deliver the food for me tomorrow. You'll know when you see Ling-san..." Michiko said.
"I'll deliver the food for you?" Chiho Fujiwara became excited. "Can I really?"
She could not wait to try the local conditions and customs of this country that Michiko had told her on the phone.
According to Michiko, the people of this country were extremely kind and enthusiastic.
Everyone was very polite.
They did not have any concept of hierarchy.
They would not discriminate against others because of their profession.
Even if it was the person who delivered their food, the people of this country would say 'thank you'.
This was something that was unimaginable in Fusang.
In Fusang, rank was very important.
The commoners were commoners, and the Chinese were Chinese.
The seniors were seniors, and the juniors were juniors.
Everything was clearly distinguished.
Everything in society was in order.
"Of course!" Michiko held Chiho Fujiwara's hand and said, "Cousin, you can deliver the food for me tomorrow!"
It just so happened that she needed to prepare and start cultivating. She needed to work hard to make the delicacies that Ling-san was looking forward to as soon as possible!
"That's great!" The descendant of the Fujiwara family from the capital was looking forward to it.
She couldn't wait to try this new and different experience.
The young lady of the Fujiwara family, the granddaughter of the former Prime Minister, delivering food!
It was a free and unrestrained activity.
… …
After dinner, Ling Ping'an made another cup of tea.
Then, he held it and drank it.
"This tea leaf is really fast..." He looked at the few leaves left in the drawer and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.
"I wonder how the guest from the old emperor's country is doing now?" Ling Ping'an thought.
He remembered that the last time the guest from the old republic came, she told him that her condition had greatly improved.
Moreover, she also bought a book for her younger siblings.
How to Look at Problems Scientifically.
He didn't know if her younger siblings could awaken like her, bravely walk their own path and choose their own life.
Thinking of that guest, Ling Ping'an couldn't help but think of the mushrooms she sent last time.
They were really delicious!
Especially the charcoal roasted mushrooms!
They were extremely delicious!
In addition, her peaches were also very fragrant and sweet. They were different from the peaches on the market!
Unfortunately...
She only ate one last time!
If only he could buy it from her!
Or change...
Thinking of changing, Ling Ping'an turned around and looked at the bow in his cupboard.
"That guest from the Yin Shang dynasty hasn't been seen for a few days..."
"Looks like this bow might become the next item to be exchanged for..."
Thinking of this, the young bookstore owner couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Business was too bad.
If this continued, he was afraid that in the future, not to mention the water and electricity bills, his monthly turnover would probably not exceed a hundred.
If that was the case, it would be awkward.
"I hope there will be a guest tonight..." Ling Ping'an said as he looked at the night outside.
… …
Han Li walked in the streets and alleys of this demon city.
This was Graz'zt's territory.
It was also one of the most dangerous places in the entire abyss.
But she still came.
Because only here could she find the last ingredient for the freedom potion she needed -- the blood of sloth.
Sloth was the original sin of all demons.
In theory, any abyss plane could obtain this kind of abyss item produced by the demons' own chaos.
But...
It was precisely because of this that most of the sloth blood would be absorbed by the abyss itself the moment it was produced and become nutrients for the Nether River.
Therefore, most of the demons in the bottomless abyss did not know about the existence of this thing.
However, there was still a demon lord in the abyss who knew about it.
That was the Lord of Sloth, Rupcio.
This terrifying demon lord had relied on devouring the blood of sloth to grow into a powerful demon lord.
Sloth thus became the source of his strength.
However, this demon lord had long become the possession of the mysterious bookstore owner.
Thus, his authority automatically dispersed and entered the territory of his brothers and sisters.
Among them, the most powerful monarch, Crow Shadow, received the most share.
But...
Rupcio's fall was too short, and they had yet to discover this change.
Therefore, the authority that no one controlled began to secrete a large amount of sloth blood in the territory of these demon lords.
The blood of sloth became easy to find because of this.
But Han Li knew that she had to be fast.
Otherwise, she could be discovered at any time.
However, after searching secretly for several days in this demon city, Han Li still did not find what she wanted.
There was no other way. The moment the sloth blood appeared, it would be found by the abyss.
Then, it would be absorbed silently.
And she was not Rupcio, so she had no sensitivity to it.
Time was passing bit by bit.
The situation began to become more and more unfavorable for her.
It was not only the effect of the mimicry potion she had taken that began to weaken.
The strength of the Nether River was also increasing to her sensitivity.
If this continued, Han Li knew that she would have no choice but to take the risk and enter the silver palace of the monarch of Crow Shadow.
Because only there would the blood of sloth last a little longer.
But...
Han Li also understood that once she stepped into the silver palace, she might have no choice but to face the true body of a terrifying demon lord.
And the monarch of Crow Shadow was one of the strongest in this abyss.
Facing him was no different from courting death!
"Why haven't we left this place..." In her clothes, Xiao Ai, who felt the endless evil aura around her, opened her eyes again in fear. She was extremely afraid.
Because she knew that this was Zelata.
A place more evil and chaotic than the territory of the Mother of Demons.
The demon city of the monarch of Crow Shadow, Grazite.
One of the most dangerous places in the entire multiverse.
Once discovered, a child of the sky-piercer clan like her would immediately be captured and sold to those evil demons or mages.
"Xiao Ai..." Han Li comforted the little fellow in a low voice. "Bear with it a little longer..."
"I will find a way as soon as possible..."
At this moment, Han Li suddenly felt a sense of danger.
She immediately lowered her head.
But it was too late.
A floating demon had already noticed her.
It was a spherical thing with tentacles and more than a dozen eyes.
It slowly focused its eyes on Han Li.
"Succubus?" It was puzzled. It felt that something was wrong, but it could not tell.
If it was anywhere else, it might immediately throw a mental control over her.
But not here. The territory of the monarch of Crow Shadow could not be messed around.
Because the monarch of Crow Shadow was a demon that was more devilish than a demon.
In his Zelata city, any demon that destroyed order would be nailed up and whipped for a hundred years!
The monarch of Crow Shadow needed the wealth brought by Zelata\'s trade to support his ambition!
Especially now, when the entire Abyss had become extremely chaotic.
The monarch of Crow Shadow especially needed military expenses to support his expansion!
Thus, the demon began to slowly float towards the strange succubus, wanting to observe it at a closer distance.
Han Li\'s soul immediately left her body.
She even held her spirit blade and was ready to fight.
However, the Devil only floated halfway before turning back.
Han Li was a little baffled and was in doubt.
The long-lost murmurs appeared again in her ears.
From this murmur, Han Li knew that the great ruler had appreciated her service.
So, she would be rewarded!
She opened her hand, and a tube of sloth blood appeared in her palm.
The treasure that she had spent all her efforts in this demon city but could not obtain.
It was so simple.
The reason was simply that the great ruler had appreciated her service.
So, his servant had rewarded her on his behalf.
The prize was what she needed the most!
