Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

"I see. I totally understand."

Jiu Yue held the bag of potato chips in her hand, making a "crunching" sound. "Mr. Ming Yuan, your ability is to turn those things that don't look delicious into snacks!"

"September!"

"To!"

"You have to stand during this class."

Chapter 15 He Must Like Me

Late at night, somewhere in Yunlong City.

For the evil spirit lurking here, this is destined to be an extraordinary night.

Bones, body parts, blood, and extremely mentally polluting scenes piled up at the end of the alley. Even in a nightmare, it would be difficult to imagine such a purgatory-like scene.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps approaching from afar broke into the alley. The crisp sound of heels stepping on broken bones cheered up the evil spirits, and their depressed spirits improved.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in monk's clothes and a fox mask walking towards the depths of the alley.

There has always been a legend circulating in Yunlong City that is enough to make all evil spirits shudder - this city is home to a devil that feeds on evil spirits, and today, another of its kind died at the hands of the devil. After several years, they finally recalled the fear of being dominated by the legend.

And the one walking towards them at this moment is the only existence that can compete with the legend.

The woman ignored the evil spirits along the way and walked into the entrance at the end of the alley without looking around. When she turned her sight, the bloody and dilapidated scene was gone, replaced by a house shrouded in red. The moment she stepped into the house, a cold female voice came from inside, "How about it, is it fun to play dumb?"

The room was empty, and voices came from all directions. "I don't remember you mentioning that you wanted to move in."

Get close to Duan Mingyuan, find the devil's weakness, and then attack him when he is unprepared.

At least it was a decent plan.

“After meeting him, I came up with a better idea.”

The woman wearing the fox mask looked straight ahead and said, "The Companion Demon Plan proposed by those humans is not without merit."

"That's not what you said last time."

The voice in the room sighed helplessly. She remembered that when the fox first heard about the plan, it regarded it as the enslavement of monsters. It also wanted to catch the plan's makers in one fell swoop, and even those monsters who were willing to obey humans. It took only one day for the fox to have such a huge change in attitude.

"Since they can make monsters and humans form a bond and become partners of justice, why can't we follow their example and form an evil alliance?"

"I must remind you that the devil is far from human, and it is foreseeable that he will become stronger and stronger."

“This makes the relationship more valuable.”

If Duan Mingyuan didn't live up to his reputation, she would have taken action long ago.

Since ancient times, fox demons have been synonymous with manipulating people's hearts and causing disasters. As a descendant of a fox demon, this is undoubtedly an instinct imprinted in her blood. Moreover, she knows Duan Mingyuan's background very well. "He is the easiest to control. As long as you show him some kindness, he will rush to you like a moth to a flame."

The pair of amber pupils flashed with a dazzling light, making the woman look like a fox that brought disaster to the world, but the other voice in the room fell silent, obviously choosing to keep its opinion to itself.

Because the fox itself perfectly fits several of the above labels.

"…Are you serious?"

Finally, the cold female voice confirmed again that if this was a joke, it was really not funny.

“It will turn black.”

The fox girl raised her lips and confidently declared her victory.

"Based on what?"

"On the first day we met, Mr. Mingyuan told me the secret of his ability. What does this mean?"

Even the title has changed.

There was another long silence.

There seemed to be a human figure flashing in the bronze mirror in front of the bed. A figure in white clothes stared at the fox girl for a long time and already had the answer in his mind.

What does this mean? What else can it mean?

This means that you may not be pretending to be a fool.

Seeing that the person in the mirror was silent, the fox girl chuckled and said, "That's right. After all, you don't understand these things. Listen carefully. This means that Mr. Mingyuan must like me."

……

"There is some progress on the matter of the aliens."

After an unknown amount of time, the person in the mirror changed the subject. She felt that this was the only way to save the weird atmosphere in the room.

Speaking of the outsiders, the smile on the fox girl's lips disappeared, leaving only a cold arc, and her eyes were full of sinisterness.

The person in the mirror breathed a sigh of relief. This was the monster she was familiar with. "It will arrive in Yunlong City in a week."

"understood."

Action must be taken.

Mr. Ming Yuan is a resourceful man. Although she stood to listen to the last class tonight, she got enough information. It is related to Universal Company and must be treated with caution. No one can get a good position in the company with just one phone call.

In that place where value is valued most, everyone must demonstrate their value.

For example, finding a way to control life energy.

They turned their attention to two other colleagues from the same city. They were both good-for-nothing weaklings who were only alive because they were lucky enough not to have a head-on encounter with the evil spirit.

Mr. Mingyuan, however, values ​​these two people very much.

Being a good-for-nothing weakling is precisely where their value lies.

Only by allowing a good-for-nothing weakling to fight against the evil spirits could the plan they proposed be convincing enough. However, until he fell asleep, Mr. Mingyuan could not think of a practical plan.

She had a great idea, which was why she came back here.

Struggle and bondage are indispensable nutrients on the road to growth, but in addition to this, there is another indispensable link.

——An old enemy that is equally matched and grows together.

Thinking of this, the fox girl walked out the door under the shocked gaze of the person in the mirror. She looked around, carefully screening among the many evil spirits. All the evil spirits that came into contact with the fox girl's sight avoided looking at her in fear.

Her final gaze rested on a thin individual who looked malnourished. When she got a little closer, she could hear whispers of "hate", "hate", and "hate".

"intern".

This is Mr. Mingyuan's definition of this kind of evil.

Since it has not yet absorbed any energy, even its wisdom has not awakened. It can only repeat meaningless words over and over. It is difficult to find a weaker existence than this individual among all the evil spirits.

"Very well, it's you."

The fox girl grabbed the figure's body and lifted it up easily.

The figure struggled in mid-air, and the whispers became more frequent.

"You will become Mr. Mingyuan's nemesis."

This time, the thin figure seemed to understand what the fox girl meant, and a scarlet eye was faintly revealed under the dry straw-like bangs.

The incessant whispering stopped, and the figure opened his mouth, miraculously making a different sound.

"……I?"

After communicating with my friends recently, I want to present the future small theater in the form of Q-version four-frame comics in the Easter egg chapter. I am still trying to find an artist. If there is no suitable one for the time being, or the price is too expensive, maybe I will use a combination of the two to complete it!

Chapter 16: Ruihu Training Notes

Remember, there is no such a simple-minded little fox in the world.

You are not a lucky fox, but a disaster that brings misfortune to the world.

If this continues, the devil will eventually notice something, and then...

September woke up from her dream, with the reminder from the person in the mirror still echoing in her ears. The voice became vague and inaudible until it could no longer be heard.

The morning light shone into the bedroom, and the evil stench disappeared. It had been a long time since September had had a good sleep like yesterday. She stretched, put the warning of the person in the mirror behind her, and took out a booklet from under the pillow with great interest.

"Ruihu Cultivation Notes".

This was one of the few relics her parents left her, and it was also another reason why she returned to her residence overnight. Before today, she had never thought of opening this handwritten book by her father. How could she, a great monster that brought disaster to the world, need something to please humans like this?

But the past is the past, and the present is the present. Since she has already made such a promise to Mr. Mingyuan, she must at least learn one or two tricks of Ruihu.

What's more, Jiu Yue's identity was not completely fabricated. She does have some Ruihu bloodline flowing in her body.

She turned to the first page with great interest. The handwriting on it was crooked and read "Secret Recipe for Egg and Vegetable Toast, Part 1".

The person who wrote these words seemed to have anticipated that his daughter would need this handwritten book someday, and he specially wrote in a conspicuous color after the title: "Little September, you must remember this recipe well, this is your mother's favorite dish."

Jiuyue has almost no memory of her parents, but everyone in the mountain said that the name was given by her father. Since she was born at the end of September, they named her Jiuyue.

Although my father is not good at writing, he is good at painting.

In addition to drawing detailed recipes, she also added a cartoon fox next to the notes. Through the cartoon style, she could imagine the author's proud look when writing down the recipes. A strange yet familiar voice emerged in her mind, very distant yet as if within reach. The voice boasted to her that as long as she mastered the contents of the notebook, she could enter anyone's heart.

Even the big monsters with hearts as hard as rocks are no exception.

The recipe records the most common ingredients. First, place a piece of toast on the chopping board, and then draw a diamond on the surface of the toast...

....................................

Perhaps because of his resignation, or perhaps because of two days of staying up late, Duan Mingyuan woke up very late today. When he walked out of the bedroom, the number on the phone screen had turned to 10:05.

As soon as he went out, he saw the little red ball squatting at the kitchen door. He was stunned for a moment before he realized that there was a new tenant in the house.

Jiu Yue squatted on the ground, with his tail covering most of his body.

There were a few slices of golden egg toast on the plate on the table, and the tempting aroma made people's mouths water.

"What are you doing?"

“Grow garlic sprouts.”

Jiu Yue responded without even raising her head. She stared intently at the glass at the kitchen door, scooped half a cup of water, and then soaked the garlic in it. The notebook said that in a few days, the garlic would sprout and grow into tender green garlic shoots.

It happened that she bought a lot of garlic yesterday, so she decided to put the contents of the notebook into practice.

Eating it is secondary. My father said that watching the garlic sprouts grow every day can bring a sense of healing.

"good."

This is a good hobby. It is reserved and quiet, much better than destroying the house. He asked again, "Have you eaten?"

"No, I'm waiting for you."

Duan Mingyuan nodded, said nothing but quickened his movements.

After washing up, Jiu Yue had already sat at the other end of the table, with her elbows on the table, her chin in her hands, her eyes full of anticipation, looking very well-behaved.

"Why aren't you eating? Why are you looking at me?"

Duan Mingyuan's pressure doubled.

"Mr. Mingyuan, eat first."

The cozy atmosphere suddenly became a little weird. Duan Mingyuan took a tentative bite. The crispy and tender texture, the sour taste of the eggs and the cherry tomatoes achieved a wonderful balance. Except that it was a little cold after being left for a while, there was nothing to complain about.

He somewhat agreed with September's ideas.

There should be someone in the family who can cook.

"……Is it tasty?"
