Home/ Devil / Chapter 153

The black-haired demon walked out of the room wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

There was a terrifying monster printed on the t-shirt. It was the Demon King’s Death commemorative version t-shirt from Xiaosen street. A few months ago, he sent this to Ji Huan through Asimu. Now he is wearing it himself, which is something he never thought of.

At that time, he just bought some souvenirs without thinking too much about the preferences and figure of the recipient. This t-shirt was a circle larger than Ji Huan’s figure, but fortunately, it was appropriate for him to wear.

Wearing a pair of slippers, a white t-shirt, and patterned shorts, with soft and messy hair, Ji Huan could not believe for a moment that the man who walked out of the room was actually Ah Jin.

Besides, he still has Hei Dan hanging on his body.

Yes, it’s really “hanging”.

He probably saw Ji Huan often hugging Hei Dan like this, so he also hugged the little demon in the same way. Unfortunately, this “hug” is too irregular!

Just by bending his arms, Hei Dan’s two thin legs could step on it. In order not to fall, the little demon’s two small arms tightly hugged Ah Jin’s upper arms, with a frightened expression on his face. From a distance, he looked like an arm pendant.

Ji Huan: “…”

The moment he saw his uncle, Hei Dan’s white-ringed eyes immediately followed him, trying to get his uncle to take over quickly, but unfortunately —

The uncle immediately lowered his head.

After drying the clothes, Ji Huan had to continue working in the vegetable garden.

The ground was heavily flooded, and it couldn’t dry out on its own. Although he could let the sun dry the ground, this was not a good method, as the soil could easily harden into pieces, and Ji Huan felt that it would inevitably waste the rare rainwater. He wanted to let out the water in the ground while also retaining it, so his approach was to dig ditches and drain the water.

He didn’t want to waste the water he drained, so he dug a pit in the ground, wanting to use this method to store the rainwater this time.

When Ah Jin came out, the first water storage pit Ji Huan had originally dug was already full. He took a look at the situation and prepared to dig another one.

Ah Jin stood under the eaves with Hei Dan and watched.

Two demons stared straight at him in unison, one full of scrutiny and the other with a cry for help. Ji Huan’s back felt a bit cold as they stared at him.

Ji Huan finally stood up straight again, turned his head, and looked at the black-haired demon under the eaves.

“I’m hungry. What’s for lunch today?” The black-haired demon asked him in a very normal tone, as if he had asked this question every day.

“…Sweet and sour pork ribs, is that fine?” He still felt that Ah Jin across from him looked very unreal, but Ji Huan’s mouth was already answering the other person’s questions.

He didn’t ignore Hei Dan’s pitiful little appearance, but he didn’t intend to take him back either.

Sweet and sour pork ribs are Hei Dan’s favourite!

Little demon like sour and sweet food, just like human children.

Unfortunately—

“Pork ribs are okay, but don’t make it sweet.” The black-haired demon pursed his thin lips and said, “I’ve eaten too much sugar.”

Ji Huan immediately thought of the red candy that Ah Jin ate before.

The candy that could last a hundred years was eaten in one go. Ah Jin will definitely not want to eat sweets for a while!

But in this case, Hei Dan will…

Ji Huan decided to make a separate portion of food for Hei Dan to appease him.

Thinking this in his heart, he nodded and walked past Ah Jin, entering the house.

When passing by Ah Jin, he even touched Hei Dan’s little head.

Before Hei Dan could grab Ji Huan’s hand, Ji Huan quickly disappeared at the kitchen door.

Then, he could only continue to hang on the big demon and stand under the eaves with the other party to watch the sun.

At noon in Yefar, the sunlight was very intense.

If it weren’t for the muddy soil on the ground and the swaying vegetable seedlings to remind everyone that the heavy rain last night did really happen, people would almost think that the rain was just a dream.

The black-haired demon walked out from under the eaves to the yard with the little demon on his chest.

This is the Green Shade Area. The light radiation here is not very strong, so they can stand in the yard without wearing a cloak. But in other places, as long as people go out at this time, they are likely to be exposed to the sunlight and must wear a thick cloak.

Jumping into the pit that Ji Huan had dug halfway through, the black-haired demon picked up the shovel that the other party had thrown inside and shoveled it down a few times.

A flash of white suddenly appeared in the midst of the black soil.

It resembles a human hand, however, it has only bones without any flesh. This is actually a hand bone!

If the black-haired demon hadn’t asked Ji Huan to cook just now and Ji Huan had continued digging, there is no doubt that he would have dug out the hand bone after a few while.

The eyes of the little demon hanging on the black-haired demon’s chest were wide open, looking straight at the hand bone, and his small mouth was pursed tightly.

Immediately afterwards, the hand bone suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, and the black-haired demon squatted down with Hei Dan in his arms.

Crouching at the bottom of the pit, the black-haired demon suddenly stretched out his hand, like a handshake. He gently grabbed the hand and shook it, and then…

Suddenly, there was a tremor coming from the ground! As they squatted on the pit wall, the little demon was frightened to see countless splashes of mud on the wall of the pit. Just when he thought he and the big demon were about to be buried, suddenly——

All the soil around them flew up, covering the surrounding area with black soil. In the soil, the little demon also saw the flowers planted by his uncle and Grandpa, and all the roots of the flowers could be seen. He even saw the bugs that had been buried in the mud!

Their chickens also screamed and flew in the air, flapping their wings in fear, not knowing why the ground under their paws suddenly turned into fine mud. However, when they saw the bugs, they immediately stopped screaming, and began to compete to eat those fat bugs in the air.

Da Bai also flew up, and although there was fear in his eyes, his performance was relatively calm. Eroka followed closely behind him, her three heads biting a long pumpkin vine, which was the same vine growing into their nest. If you look carefully, you will find that the stones suspended around them are the same ones that Ji Huan used to build their nest.

There is also the water stored by his uncle. The water is like a huge bubble, floating next to them at the moment!

The little black demon was attracted by the scene in front of him, clinging tightly to the big demon. His little head was raised, his little mouth grew big, and he was stunned as he watched everything in his own yard fly into the air!

A pair of small claws pulled on the big demon under him. He wanted the big demon to see everything he saw, but after pulling for a long time, he didn’t notice any reaction from the other person. The little demon lowered his head, and then his eyes widened even more:

Only then did he realise that he and the big demon were also “flying” in the air.

Not understanding the word “floating”, the little guy could only use the word “flying” to describe the way he and the big demon looked now.

The pit under their feet suddenly disappeared, and while “flying” in the air, he saw the big demon holding a hand bone. However, now not only the hand bone was exposed in front of them, but also the body connected to the bone hand!

The little demon’s mouth opened into a round O, and he looked at the big demon squatting there expressionlessly, holding a skeleton in his palms.

The skeleton was extremely beautiful, with countless slender roots emerging from the white sternum. The ends of those roots became increasingly green. On the far end, the little demon saw several slender grass stems.

He knew about the grass. It is often chewed by Da Bai. After drying, uncle would use it to make mats for himself. Last night, he also saw those grasses suddenly blooming with beautiful flowers!

“Wow!” The little demon couldn’t help but let out a small exclamation.

Then, he saw that “beautiful” skeleton suddenly changed its appearance.

Its volume suddenly expanded to more than five times its original size! The original human skeleton suddenly turned into the form of a monster!

The size of the big demon was extremely small compared to this skeleton. They “flew” around the remains of the skeleton monster, and the little demon saw the black-haired demon reaching out and grabbing it downwards——

A huge skull suddenly appeared in front of his palm.

Such a hideous skull…..

Through the hollow eyes, the little demon seemed to see a ghostly red glow. Those sharp teeth still stood erect in the monster’s mouth, as if they could tear apart the body of any intruder at any time!

Tightly clinging to the big demon, the little black demon remained silent.

And then—

With a gentle flick of his pale palm, the huge skull was placed in its original position.

After years of separation from the body, the head was connected to its own body again.

Although he was obviously dead, at the moment when the two were put together, the end of the skull was suddenly connected to the front end of the cervical vertebrae. As the last soft sound in the mouth of the black-haired demon disappeared, the fracture between the body and the head also disappeared without a trace.

In the sky woven by suspended underground soil, surrounded by a veil of black soil, the black-haired demon reunited with his old friend.

He is still alive, but the other party has long turned into a skeleton.

The black-haired demon narrowed his eyes slightly.

His stagnant eyes met the empty eyes of the other person, and he whispered:

“Saroye, I saw the flowers you bloomed.”

“Saroye, hello, and…”

“Goodbye.”

The soil suspended in the air instantly fell, and the “bubble” seemed to be punctured in an instant. The water inside mixed with the surrounding soil, perfectly soaking the vast majority of the soil particles. During the process, the volume of the “bubble” rapidly decreased.

The soil in the sky quickly fell to its original position, while the giant skeleton of the huge monster was pushed and sandwiched by the soil, sinking deeper into the earth’s core.

The whole process started and ended very quickly, and before the little demon could recover, in the next second, he was already standing in the scorching sun.

Dizzy and disoriented, Hei Dan lay on the big demon’s shoulder, grabbing the other party’s t-shirt with one hand and rubbing his eyes with the other.

The five chickens, Da Bai and Eroka were also equally confused.

But they soon discovered their nest. Although it looked a little different from before, their instincts allowed them to recognize it, and they quickly hid inside.

So when Ji Huan came out of the house again, what he saw was a perfect and neat yard that didn’t look as if it had been flooded before.

When the skeleton of the demon that had floated to the ground was reconnected and sent deeper into the soil, the black-haired demon reorganized the whole yard.

The mixture of excessively wet soil on the surface and the dry sandy soil underground instantly balanced the soil moisture in the entire yard; 

The roots of the plants that had been soaked in heavy rain overnight and were somewhat rotten were suspended in the air to dry slightly, and then replanted into the soil; 

He also reorganized the originally irregular vegetable beds in the yard and planted various plants in the soil in different categories, making it look more neat than before. In addition, he even picked out the bugs in the soil, which are now at their feet. He found a bucket and threw them all into it.

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, the black-haired demon who was squatting on the ground suddenly stood up.

“While you’re cooking, I finished the rest of the work in the yard. See if it’s okay?”

Looking at the newly organized courtyard in surprise, the usually mature young man rarely looked dumbfounded at this moment.

It’s not just okay! It’s just too professional!

Ji Huan never knew that his vegetable garden could be as neat as the one in front of him!

The moisture in the soil is moderate, dark and soft; every leaf looks particularly green, as if it had been carefully cleaned; the vegetable beds are neat and tidy, with small stones carefully separating different vegetable types.

What was originally just a practical vegetable garden now looks like a garden for people to admire!

“Previously, those vegetables could’ve been planted more densely, and some flowers could also be planted at the entrance. I will buy some flower seeds later.” The black-haired demon continued to say, “White flowers and purple flowers will both look very good.”

As he spoke, he sniffed slightly: “It smells so good. I’m hungry. Can I go eat?”

Seeing Ji Huan nodding in a daze, the black-haired demon smiled and then gently brushed past him.

Letting the young man continue to stare at the newly organized vegetable garden outside, the black-haired demon just sat down at the dining table filled with food. He pulled the little demon off his shoulder and gently raised an index finger before his lips.

“What happened just now should be kept secret from your uncle.”

Hei Dan:……
