I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Ling Pingan walked upstairs as he yawned.

He looked at the wine bottle that he had placed beside the refrigerator.

After thinking for a while, Ling Pingan picked up the bottle, walked to the kitchen, and stuffed it into the cupboard under the kitchen.

That was where the old Ling family kept their wine.

It was much better than the wine cellars of other families.

Shady, dry, constant temperature…

Whether it was grape wine or rice wine, there was nothing to he had to worry about placing them here.

After doing that, he walked back to his bedroom.

"I'll take a shower tomorrow morning…" he laid down and fell asleep.

In the dark kitchen, the whispers slowly sounded.

"Look!"

"This is the fate of traitors!"

Countless evil eyes lit up.

In the kitchen, from the ceiling, from the floor.

The little kitten Bastet was trembling as she looked at the wine bottle.

Beside it, a faint blue flame was flickering, and the flame was dim.

The green vines were trembling.

Because in the wine bottle, there was a huge, terrifying creature that looked like a cluster of stars.

A former ruler!

The father of snakes, Yig!

This former ruler was the god of countless basilisks.

He also ruled one huge world after another.

He also created a dragon creature.

But all these honors had nothing to do with him.

Because he took advantage of the temporary chaos that the great ruler once had to rebel and stand on his own.

Therefore, he became the pitiful victim soaked in this wine bottle.

His soul was being dissolved.

Mournful wails echoed in the souls of the kitten Bastet and its two companions in a special channel.

He wailed for mercy and painfully confessed.

He begged for a quick death!

But…

It was impossible!

The will of the ruler determined his fate.

He will experience terrible torture again and again in the wine bottle.

He will watch his soul and strength slowly dissolve.

And repeat the process!

He will live forever until the final judgment.

Living in this bottle, patrolled by the master's most hardworking slaves.

They would maintain Yig's soul, not letting him collapse.

They would only let him suffer in pain and wail, under the terrifying torture and whipping of terror, feeling the slow arrival of death bit by bit.

Until that day, when the owner opened the cork.

He would see with his own eyes how everything about him was eaten by others.

There was no doubt…

Bastet knew that this was an 'education of loving the Lord'.

Each inch of the cat goddess' fur trembled.

She was glad that she was a cat.

She was glad that her master still doted on her.

Otherwise…

The cat goddess remembered.

In the Guangnan region, there was a famous dish called 'The Big Battle'…

..

Han Li walked in front of the wall of light.

The wall of light opened automatically and made way for her.

She walked over, and the tribute ceremony had already begun.

A path formed by fog led directly into the abyss in front of her.

The asphalt-like liquid flowed slowly.

Terrifying and scary murmurs sounded around her.

Countless terrifying existences were screaming in the distance of the fog.

They were fighting!

Fighting for the tribute!

Not everyone was qualified to participate in the tribute!

And qualifications, for many people, required the tempering of blood and fire to possess.

They had to prove themselves!

Han Li walked along the path of the fog and took a deep breath.

She knew that without the recognition of that person, she wouldn't be able to come to pay tribute.

Perhaps…

She wouldn't even have the qualifications to be a tribute!

But now…

She had directly obtained such a qualification.

For an existence that was countless times stronger than her, she had to break her head and even gamble her life to have the qualifications!

"So…" Han Li thought, "What… does he need me to do?"

That was indeed a question worth pondering.

However, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of anything special about herself that could catch the eye of such an existence?

"No wonder… people in the old world often say that when humans think, God laughs…" Han Li said self-deprecatingly in her heart.

She held the bottle in her hand and kept moving forward.

Soon, she arrived in front of the abyss.

The silent Abyss was incomparably dark and terrifying.

Under her feet, something like asphalt paved the road.

A bookshelf-like thing was covered by layers of strange halos.

It was like an altar!

Within the bookshelf, books had already been flipped open.

Countless tentacles were reaching out from within.

On these tentacles, ferocious mouthparts grew out.

In the depths of the Dark Abyss, the countless evil eye had already opened.

They stared at Han Li, emotionless and incomparably cold.

Countless whispers rang out densely in the darkness.

As Han Li listened, she only felt her scalp go numb, and her entire body became cold.

She quickly opened the bottle in her hand and walked to the bookshelf shrouded in light.

Some kind of will seemed to be enlightening her, allowing her to automatically know about the knowledge and etiquette of paying tribute.

So, she walked to a book that was opened.

She handed over the bottle in her hand, and tentacles immediately stretched out.

They frantically drilled into the bottle, and a terrifying sound immediately sounded from the bottle.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack…

It was like some kind of monster was eating corpses…

Bang, bang, bang…

It was also like some kind of terrifying beast, fighting and snatching over bones.

Soon, everything returned to silence.

A light appeared in front of them.

Han Li knew that her tribute road had been completed, and it was time to leave.

Moreover, she could not stay here anymore.

Therefore, she raised her feet and walked towards the light.

It was just a trance, and everything changed.

She returned to the islands. Above her head, the galaxy was brilliant.

The murmurs beside her ears sounded.

"Very good!" He said softly, "You completed your tribute…"

"You have obtained the qualifications!"

"What qualifications?" Han Li asked in confusion.

"You'll find out in the future…" the murmurs slowly fell silent.

The wind began to blow slowly.

It blew across the land and the ocean.

Specks of starlight fell from the sky.

The stars of the Pleiades star cluster filled the starry sky!

Those stars that were at least several hundred light-years away from Earth were now as dazzling as neighboring stars.

Under the illumination of the starlight and the gentle breeze, some unknown changes were quietly taking place.

Spirit Aura was beginning to appear.

The origin of the world had been strengthened.

Han Li could feel that the world's affinity with magic was increasing.

When the sun rose, this world would become a new world!

And this was the Kaiser in Yellow's reward for her.

It was also an investment for her!

But…

"Why would he invest in me?" Han Li didn't understand.

She didn't know what value she had?

Why were those terrifying existences willing to invest in her?

Han Li knew what she was capable of. Even the current her was just an ant in front of those terrifying existences.

She might even be a single-celled animal!

… … … … ..

"Shake, shake, shake…" the young barbeque shop owner hummed a lullaby.

In front of him, the fair and delicate little girl was sleeping soundly.

"Ah Ning, go to sleep… Go to sleep…"

The lenses in his eyes reflected the scene of another space-time.

The Pleiades star cluster was shining.

The strength of the Master of the Deep Space Sea was blowing the earth and awakening psionic power.

"Hehe…" he laughed.

The actions of his brother and the mortal enemy could not be hidden from him.

"What you invested in… is just an ant who has a chance to compete for the position of a maid…" he smiled. "And what I am cultivating is someone who can directly serve him…"

If it was in the past, the ruler would always be chaotic and blind.

He would always be in a state that was even stranger and more chaotic than what humans called Schrödinger's cat.

He was omniscient and omnipotent but also ignorant.

He was everything and not everything.

He existed in time and space, in the past and the future.

He would always be like this unless he woke up.

But now… it was different. Everything was different.

He was no longer in chaos.

He was now in a state that no one knew but himself.

That was why, in this dream, everyone was doing everything they could.

It was because of all the old overlords and gods that had existed since ancient times, the terrifying existences that were created or evolved in their dreams.

They already knew that something that had never happened since ancient times was slowly progressing.

Even the silver key did not know what would happen when he woke up?

Thinking of this, the young man began to recite an article.

Zhuangzi. The Emperor Ying's chapter!

… … … … ..

Kyoto's International Airport.

It was already midnight.

A flight from Lanfang landed steadily.

The cabin door opened, and a large number of tourists began to disembark.

Li Anan held Chu Weiwei's hand and walked down from the cabin.

She took a deep breath of air. "Fusang… here I am!"

To the people of the Federal Empire, the Fusang Kingdom was a very good tourist destination.

The mountains and rivers here were clear, and there was almost no industrial pollution.

Especially the resort hotels in the mountains, it was simply the ideal paradise!

That was too rare!

In this era of rapid industrialization, there were very few places that were not polluted by industry.

The best part was that Fusang still retained a large number of old buildings from hundreds of years ago.

Walking in them, it was as if they had traveled through time and returned to the era of hundreds of years ago.

The idyllic songs were being summoned. Under the eastern fence, the poems of Nanshan Mountain were being slowly opened.

Of course, as a member of the Blackguard, Li Anan knew that Fusang looked calm and peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there was an undercurrent surging behind the scenes.

The ancient demons were always thinking of returning.

The chaos in Tamamo-no-Mae a few years ago had caused great destruction!

Even if they were suppressed now, the demons that took the opportunity to escape were still lurking in the cities and countryside of Fusang, looking for opportunities.

Fortunately, Fusang had also imitated the Federal Empire and established a strict registration system for foreign species.

Through cooperation with the Blackguard, they tried their best to kill those demons that endangered the safety of society. At the same time, they gave legal rights to those foreign species that were willing to abide by the law.

That allowed Fusang to recover from the mess caused by Tamamo-no-Mae in no time.

Now, this place had become a paradise for tourists again!

"Weiwei, let me tell you…" Li Anan held Chu Weiwei's small hand and chirped, "Fusang has a lot of fun places…"

"And there is also a lot of delicious food!"

"Especially eel rice… It's amazing!" The newly promoted major couldn't help but lick her bright red lips. She couldn't help but want to eat it.

"Really?" Chu Weiwei was also happy. She was completely convinced by the captain's taste.

No matter where the captain went, she would always find the best food in the area.

The food she recommended had never disappointed anyone!

"Of course!" Li Anan was full of confidence. "Tomorrow, we'll go to eat the most famous Black Island Eel Rice in Kyoto!"

"Okay!"

The two beautiful girls held hands and walked towards the airport exit.

Along the way, countless people kept turning their heads.

After all, such young and beautiful girls would always be able to earn the gaze of the crowds no matter where they were!

If it weren't for the Federal Empire's official logo on their luggage…

Someone would have come up to chat them up a long time ago.

When Chu Weiwei reached the exit, her phone rang.

She hesitated for a moment before picking it up.

"Hello…"

"Yes…"

"Okay!"

"Understood!"

After putting down the phone, Chu Weiwei looked at Li Anan. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Captain, we won't be able to eat eel rice tomorrow…"

"Why?"

"A temporary mission…" Chu Weiwei sighed and said, "The superiors ordered me to report to the special affairs police station in Kyoto…"

"I heard that a man-eating demon was discovered in Kyoto…"

"The local special affairs police station is unable to deal with it… requesting guidance…"

Hearing this, Li Anan also sighed and said, "I'll accompany you then!"

The people of Fusang were very prideful!

Under normal circumstances, they would not ask for help if the situation was not so bad that it could not be cleaned up!

Just like the mess that happened a few years ago with Tamamo-no-Mae, the Special Affairs Department of Fusang had been covering up the matter. They only asked for help when they could not cover it up anymore.

However, they still cared about their reputation and refused to reveal the truth. They only reported that 'a small demon broke through the seal'.

If not for the Federal Empire's psionic energy scanning satellite knowing about the situation, they might have been tricked and fell into the trap!

Therefore, it was not a small matter for the people of Fusang to request guidance!

..

Ling Pingan woke up especially early today.

He stood on the balcony, stretching his body and doing simple exercises.

After about five minutes, he finished his exercise.

Well, five minutes of exercise every week was already a lot for him.

Anyway, he was young!

Meow…

The kitten meowed softly at his feet.

"Little guy…" Ling Pingan picked up his pet. "Let's go, Let's go! Let's go write greeting cards… we have to send them out today!"

Today was the first day of August.

Therefore, he picked up the little guy and went downstairs to open the door.

The air outside the door was fresh. The neighbors who had finished their morning jog were slowly walking home to take a shower.

Aunt Cai's breakfast shop next door was already open. The fragrant aroma of steamed dumplings wafted over.

Ling Pingan smelled it and thought of the money he earned last night.

Thus, he walked over boldly and said in an extremely magnanimous manner, "Aunt Cai, give me two baskets of steamed dumplings, one basket of fresh meat, and one basket of crab roe…"

"And two bowls of tofu pudding!"

Aunt Cai heard this and raised her head in disbelief. "Little Ling, have you struck a wealth?"

She smiled and swiftly packed the steamed dumplings and tofu pudding.
