I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Chiba Michiko rode her beloved electric donkey to this familiar street as usual.

She walked into the bookstore.

“Ling-san, here’s your beef and rice!” She said sweetly, just like before.

“Thank you!” Ling-san said kindly, “Put the thousand-night sauce on the counter.”

Chiba Michiko nodded and put the delivery bag on the counter.

Then, she looked at Ling-san, the sage who lived in seclusion in the downtown area.

She knew that such a person would never want to expose himself.

It was just like the story.

The sage lived in seclusion in the downtown area.

They observed the world and chose brave people to teach them their knowledge and skills.

Just like how the Huangshi Gong investigated Zhang Liang in ancient times.

Thus, he taught him the Taigong Art of War so that Zhang Liang could assist the wise Lord and save the world.

Chiba Michiko became very respectful when she thought of this.

She carefully asked, “Ling-san, I might not be able to deliver food to you tomorrow…”

“I’ll get my cousin to deliver. Is that okay?”

When she said this, Chiba Michiko’s heart was beating violently.

She knew that only the fated person and the chosen one could be recognized by the sage.

“Your cousin is here?” Ling-san ate his rice without raising his head.

“Yes!” Chiba Michiko nodded. “She arrived this morning…”

“Oh…” Ling-san agreed without hesitation. “Alright then!”

Chiba Michiko thanked him profusely. “Thank you! Thank you!”

“Ling-san, please take care of my cousin!” She bowed deeply.

“You’re welcome!” Ling-san raised his head and smiled.

Chiba Michiko was in a happy mood as she rode her electric donkey home.

Along the way, she passed through many junctions and turned into many streets.

Finally, she reached home.

The lanterns hanging on the door were lit.

The ‘Qian’s Family Deliveryt’ signboard was flashing.

Chiba Michiko stopped her electric donkey at the entrance and got out of the car.

At the entrance, she saw her cousin reading a book under the street lamp.

Chiba Michiko ran over immediately with a smile. “Qianhua!”

Tengyuan Qianhua looked up and immediately smiled when she saw her cousin. Her light-colored long hair became cheerful because of this.

“Michiko!”

The two girls stood together.

Tengyuan Qianhua seemed to be about the same age as Chiba Michiko.

But she was taller, and her skin was fairer.

More importantly, she was much plumper than Chiba Michiko!

So much so that Chiba Michiko felt a little ashamed in front of her cousin.

“Are you back from the delivery ?” Tengyuan Qianhua asked while holding Chiba Michiko’s hand.

“Yes!” Chiba Michiko nodded and said happily, “I delivered food to Ling-san!”

When she said this, she looked extremely.

It was as if it was her honour to be able to deliver food to that customer!

This made Tengyuan Qianhua curious. “Is that customer very powerful?”

“It’s not a matter of whether he’s powerful or not…”

“Ling San is the kind of person…” Chiba Michiko searched through her limited vocabulary and tried her best to describe Ling-san. Since she couldn’t reveal Ling San’s identity directly, she seemed to be putting force in her words. “A very special person…”

Tengyuan Qianhua became curious instantly. “How special he is?”

Chiba Michiko pursed her lips and recalled.

But she realized that she couldn’t find any words to describe Ling-san’s appearance.

Because she found out that using any words to describe him would be offensive!

Therefore, she could only describe him as a character.

“Ling-san…”

“He has the magnanimity of Duke Xuande, the wisdom of Marquis Wu, and the compassion of an eminent monk…”

“In short, he is a very special person!”

Tengyuan Qianhua widened her eyes as she listened. “Is there such a person in this world?”

The breadth of mind of Duke Xuande?

The Wisdom of Marquis Wu?

The compassion of an eminent monk?

Tengyuan Qianhua didn’t believe it.

“Cousin, you’ll know when you see Ling-san tomorrow when you deliver the food on behalf of me.” Chiba Michiko said.

“I’ll deliver the food tomorrow?” Tengyuan Qianhua was excited. “Really?”

She couldn’t wait to try out what Chiba Michiko had told her on the phone about the local customs of this country.

According to Chiba Michiko, the people of this country were kind and warm.

Everyone was very polite.

They didn’t have any concept of hierarchy.

They wouldn’t discriminate against others because of their profession.

Even for deliverymen, the people of this country would still say thank you to them.

This was unimaginable in Fu Sang.

In Fu sang, rank was very important.

Commoners were commoners, while the Chinese were Chinese.

Seniors were seniors, and juniors were juniors.

Everything was divided clearly.

Everything in society was in order.

“Of course!” Chiba Michiko held Tengyuan Qianhua’s hand and said, “Cousin, you can deliver the food tomorrow!”

She just happened to prepare and start practising. She would work hard to prepare some delicious food that Ling-San was looking forward to!

“That’s great!” The descendants of the Tengyuan family from the capital were looking forward to it.

She couldn’t wait to try this new and different experience.

The Young Mistress of the Fujiwara family, the granddaughter of the former Prime Minister, was delivering food!

Those free and unrestrained activities.

……

After dinner, Ling PingAn made another cup of tea.

He held it and drank it.

“It is so fast to finish this tea…” he looked at the few remaining leaves in the drawer and shrugged his shoulders.

“I wonder how the guest from the Old Empire is doing now?” Ling PingAn thought.

He remembered that the last time when the guest from the Old Republic family came, he told him that her situation had greatly improved.

Moreover, she bought a book for her younger brothers and sisters. “How to look at problems scientifically.”

She didn’t know if her younger brothers and sisters would be awake like her, walk their path and choose their own lives bravely.

Ling PingAn was thinking of the mushrooms that the guest had sent over last time.

They were delicious!

Especially the charcoal roasted mushrooms!

They were extremely delicious!

In addition, the peaches in her house were also very fragrant and sweet. They were different from the peaches on the market!

Unfortunately, he had only eaten one last time!

It would be great if he could buy it from her!

Or exchange with something.

Ling Pingan turned around and looked at the bow that was placed in his cupboard when he thought about exchanging.

“I haven’t seen that guest from Shang dynasty for quite some times…”

“It seems that this bow might be the item for the next customer…”

Thinking of this, the young bookstore owner felt a little disappointed.

His business was too bad.

If this situation continued, his monthly turnover would probably not exceed 100, not to mention the utility bills.

If that was the case, it would be awkward.

“I hope I can have a guest tonight…” Ling PingAn said as he looked at the night sky outside.

……

Han Li walked through the streets 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 she could find the last ingredient of the freedom potion she needed — the blood of sloth.

Sloth was the original sin of all demons.

In theory, any plane could obtain this abyssal thing that was produced by the chaos of the demons themselves.

Because most of the blood of sloth would be absorbed by the Abyss itself at the moment it was produced and became the nutrients for the River Styx, therefore most of the demons in the deep abyss did not know the existence of this thing.

However, there was a demon lord in the abyss who knew about it.

That was Lupercio, Monarch of Sloth.

This terrifying demon lord had grown into a powerful demon lord by devouring the lazy blood.

Hence, sloth became the source of his strength.

However, this demon lord had become the property of the mysterious owner of the bookstore.

Hence, his authority was automatically dispersed and thrown into the territory of his brothers and sisters.

Among them, the most powerful monarch, the Great Monarch of the Darkness, received the largest share.

It was just that the fall of Lupercio was too short, and they had not noticed this change.

Therefore, the authority that no one controlled started to secrete large amounts of sloth blood in the territories of these demon lords.

The sloth blood became easy to find.

But Han Li knew that she had to be quick.

Otherwise, she could be discovered at any time.

However, after several days of searching in secret in this demon city, Han Li could not find what she wanted.

There was nothing she could do. The moment the blood of the sloth appeared, it would be found by the abyss.

Then, it would be absorbed immediately without any trace.

She was not Lupercio, so she was not sensitive to it at all.

Time was running out bit by bit.

The situation was becoming more and more disadvantageous to her.

Not only the effect of the mimicry potion that she had taken that was weakening, but the strength of the Styx was also becoming more sensitive to her.

If this continued, Han Li knew that she would have to take the risk and enter the Silver Palace of the Great Monarch of the Darkness.

Because only there would the blood of sloth last longer.

But Han Li understood that once she stepped into the Silver Palace, she might have to face the true form of a terrifying demon lord.

And Great Monarch of the Darkness was one of the top powerhouses in the abyss.

Facing him was no different from courting death!

“Why don’t we leave this place…” 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 that was even more evil and chaotic than the territory of the mother of demons.

The demon city of the Great Monarch of the Darkness, Graz’zt.

One of the most dangerous places in the entire multiverse.

Once she was discovered, a cub of the sky-piercer clan like her would immediately be caught and sold to those evil demons or mages.

“Xiao Ai…” Han Li comforted the little guy in a low voice. “Just bear with it a little longer…”

“I’ll find a way as soon as possible…”

At this moment, Han Li felt a sense of crisis suddenly.

She immediately lowered her head.

But it was too late.

A floating demon noticed her.

It was a ball-shaped thing with tentacles and more than ten eyes.

It slowly focused its eyes on Han Li.

“Succubus?” It was puzzled. It felt that something was not right, but it couldn’t tell.

If it was somewhere else, it might have immediately thrown a spirit control over it.

But it could not do it here. The territory of the Great Monarch of Darkness could not be messed with.

Because the Great Monarch of Darkness was a demon that was even more demonic than the devil.

In his Zelata City, any devil that broke the order would be nailed up and beaten for a hundred years!

Great Monarch of Darkness needed the wealth brought by the trade of Zelata to support his ambition!

Especially now when the entire Abyss had become incomparably chaotic.

Great Monarch of Darkness especially needed military funds to support his expansion!

Thus, this demon began to float slowly towards the strange succubus, wanting to observe it closely.

Han Li’s soul was terrified immediately.

She even held onto her spirit blade, getting ready for battle.

However, the demon only floated halfway before it turned back.

Han Li was somewhat baffled and was still in doubt.

The long-lost ravings by her ears appeared once again.

Amidst the rustling, Han Li knew that the Great ruler praised her service.

Therefore, she would receive a reward!

A tube of sloth blood appeared in her palm when she opened her hands.

She had spent a lot of effort in this Devil City, and she had exhausted all her efforts to obtain the treasure.

Now she got it just like that.

The reason was so simple, the Great ruler appreciated her service.

So, his servant had done the reward on his behalf.

The reward was exactly what she needed the most!
