When Ji Huan regained his composure and returned to the dining table, he saw Ah Jin sitting quietly at the dining table waiting for him to eat together and——
Hei Dan was forced to sit on Ah Jin’s lap.

There was another bottle of wine on the table. When Ji Huan’s gaze fell on it, Ah Jin said: “This house also has an underground wine cellar, which contains many vintage wines.”
He didn’t even know the existence of this wine cellar before, but he just discovered it during the process of “reorganizing the garden.”
Ji Huan hesitated and picked up the wine bottle to look at it. The ancient cursive characters looked extremely difficult to understand. It took him a long time to figure out the year of production of this bottle of wine…
One thousand and five years ago.
Ji Huan: “…”
I heard that the older the wine, the more valuable it is and the better it tastes. However, can wine from a thousand years ago… um… still be drunk?
“It’s drinkable, go get a bottle opener. I remember having one at home.” As if he knew what the other party was thinking, the black-haired man raised his head and looked at Ji Huan.
His eyes were extremely dark, and when he focused all his attention on one person, it had to be said that the pressure was very high, even now his gaze could almost be described as gentle——
Ji Huan quickly took out the bottle opener and opened the wine.
He also took out the wine glass at the same time, but only one.
When the bottle cap fell, a very strong aroma of wine immediately floated out, and Ji Huan, who was closest to the bottle, felt dizzy for a moment, but he soon woke up.
When the bottle was tilted and the green wine poured out from the mouth of the bottle, a more fragrant aroma instantly filled the entire room. When half of the glass was full, it was like a green gemstone melting into the glass.
It’s so strange— yet as an ordinary young man who grew up in the human world, Ji Huan felt that the color of this wine itself is quite peculiar.
Hei Dan, however, was obviously very interested and kept staring at the green liquid in the wine glass, unable to blink.
“This is a thousand-year-old Eluka wine, made from a green fruit that has now disappeared. Now this wine is priceless on the market.” The black-haired man also gazed at the green liquid. He introduced the wine to Ji Huan, but soon discovered that there was only one wine glass.
“Why did you only bring one wine glass? Don’t you want some of this good wine? Ah… are you not eighteen yet?” The black-haired man picked up the wine glass and gently shook the liquid inside, then drank it without leaving any trace.
“No, I will be eighteen years old in January.” The young man with the same black hair shook his head.
He is almost an adult now.
“Oh… Then we need to drink some wine. It’s a bit similar to the custom in your world. The demons here also like to talk about business while drinking.” The black-haired demon suddenly laughed.
Pushing the wine in his hand to the young man, he motioned for him to give it a try.
Ji Huan froze a little.
Looking at the encouraging expression on the black-haired man’s face, and also at the bulging mouth of the little guy sitting on the other party’s lap, he hesitantly picked up the wine glass.
Then, following the other’s instructions, he observed the color, sniffed it for a moment, and finally took a sip of the green wine. As the cold liquid flowed down his throat into his stomach, the alcohol seemed to be instantly absorbed by the mucosa along the way. Ji Huan only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and his mind exploded in an instant.
Ji Huan stiffly put the wine glass on the table, and then fell down on the table with a clatter.
“Jiujiu?” The little demon immediately cried out anxiously.
“Don’t worry, your uncle just fell asleep. He is too tired and needs to have a good rest.” The big black-haired demon comforted him.
Looking at the young man in the seat beside him who remained obedient and silent even though he was drunk, he picked up the wine glass by the other person’s hand and then took a sip from the same spot where the other person had just drank from.
After the little black demon understood the word “sleep”, he stopped being anxious. The fragrance in the air became even more intense, while the beautiful “green water” in the big demon’s wine glass became less and less.
Hei Dan… really wants to drink green water!
Raising his little head and staring at the other person’s wine glass, the little demon’s mouth dripped with saliva.
Perhaps because his gaze was too focused, the big black-haired demon finally noticed his gaze and looked at the wine glass with only a little bit of liquid left. He lowered his head and looked at the little demon:
“Do you want to drink?”
The little demon looked at his uncle and nodded slightly after a while, looking timid.
“Just tell me what you want. I can buy it or grab it for you. Don’t be so shy.” He whispered to the little demon.
The black-haired demon brought the wine glass in his hand to the little demon’s mouth.
The small black claws immediately grabbed both sides of the wine glass, and then with the help of the black-haired demon, the last few drops of wine in the glass smoothly slipped into the little demon’s mouth.
The little guy licked his lips, as if reminiscing the taste.
“You can drink better than your uncle.” Seeing him like this, the black-haired demon smiled.
Then, under the eager gaze of the little demon, he poured some more wine for him. This time there was more wine than before, about the size of a bottle cap.
The little demon cherished it very much and drank it all little by little. After finishing the drink, he raised his head and said ‘thank you’ to the big demon above him in a tender voice.
“Ah…how could there be such a well-behaved little demon? How did you grow up…” The little demon’s obedience was a bit unexpected to the black-haired man. He gently played with the other’s pigtails with his fingers as he whispered softly.
“Neinei!” The little demon really knew the answer to this question, and he quickly answered in a crisp voice.
Then the big black-haired burst into laughter.
He laughed for a while before stopping, his body trembling.
The little demon lying on his chest felt a slight tingling on his back, and he felt a bit frightened.
“Oh, you grew up drinking… drinking… that milk powder.” He couldn’t pronounce the word “neinei”, so he could only think for a while, and finally remembered a more formal name for that thing.
However, the little demon had eaten more than just one thing, and he quickly recounted all the good things.
“Meat! Noodles!” He has not been in this world for a long time, and he only has eight teeth at present. Hei Dan has actually eaten very few things, but he feels that he is the happiest little demon in the whole world! He has also seen many markets before!
“…Vegetables! Sweet…” He counted on his fingers. Unfortunately, when he reached “sweet”, he raised his head and glanced at the big black-haired demon with a bit of sadness. However, he soon saw the empty wine glass in front of him.
He didn’t know what it was, and its taste was different from anything he had eaten before. The key being that it was very fragrant and beautiful. After drinking the wine, the little demon felt that his whole body was fragrant. It felt so good!
“Green!” Pointing at the wine glass, the little demon became happy again.
Although the sweetness that can be licked every night is gone, the big demon that ate his candy gave him beautiful green water, which is also good!
Okay, he is such an easygoing baby.
“So obedient.” He touched the little demon’s head again. Then, completely disregarding the ban on alcohol consumption for minors under the age of 18, the black-haired demon poured some more wine for him.
He glanced at the sleeping young man in front of him and began to eat the pork ribs with chopsticks.
Seeing the little demon looking at him eagerly, he took one and gave it to the little demon. One of them was using the chopsticks, while the other was holding it with his little claws, nibbling on the ribs.
The pork ribs made by Ji Huan look very ordinary and homely, not as exquisite as those dishes in the restaurants outside.
But it’s really delicious.
After picking out a portion of the food and putting it aside, the two demons, one large and one small, swept away all the remaining food.
Ji Huan’s cell phone suddenly rang.
Following the sound, the black-haired demon quickly took out a mobile phone from Ji Huan’s trouser pocket.
It was the one he gave to the other party at the beginning. His own mobile phone had long been updated, while the young man still used this one.
After glancing at the caller’s name, the black-haired demon picked up the phone.
“You’d better come over in the afternoon. Just take a taxi! I’ll pay for the fare. There’s a guy who lost his resume and has been harassing me in front of the door for a whole day. I wrote it by hand but he wants a printed version.” Before Ah Jin could even speak, the person on the other end of the phone immediately started talking loudly and then quickly hung up the phone.
“Beep…”
The black-haired demon looked at the phone that had been hung up.
Being hung up on by someone seems to be a very rare experience.
“But uncle is asleep.” Putting the phone under his chin and pressing it gently, the black-haired demon seemed to think for a while. Then he lowered his head and said to the little demon below who had been looking up at him: “Then we will have to go to work instead of uncle.”
“Ah!” The little demon let out a soft cry.
So, he horizontally picked up the young man lying on the table and placed him on the big bed in the bedroom. Then he gently closed the door and went out with the little demon in his arms.
He also consciously put on the cloak that Ji Huan usually wears when going out. Apart from being much taller than Ji Huan, at first glance, he actually looked similar to Ji Huan.
He was not familiar with the surrounding roads. Just when he was planning to call Asimu to come over and show the way, the little demon in his arms crawled out from his arm in the cloak to his shoulder and stretched out its little claws towards a direction.
This little demon actually knows the way!
At this time, the black-haired demon no longer cared whether the little guy was pointing towards the right way, but he was a bit curious about where the little demon would take him.
So he put down the phone and started walking according to the other party’s instructions.
Then, as he walked, he arrived at a market.
Alright, this is actually the road the little demon takes to “go to work” every day.
After a night of rain, the originally dirty roofs were washed clean, and the originally damp soil had already been baked dry. Apart from the much cleaner roofs, the market didn’t seem to be any different.
Well…it’s not that there are no differences.
The black-haired demon noticed that the cloaks of the demons around him were all very clean. It was probably during the heavy rain that all the demons washed their clothes once.
The market, which was originally quite smelly, seems to have a pleasant smell now
Yesterday, almost all the demons stayed up all night to store water, so the business at the water stall was a bit slow today.
The demons were all in a good mood, whispering about the heavy rain last night, and then discussing how long the water would last.
When the black-haired demon wearing Ji Huan’s cloak passed by, he was very surprised that there were actually many people greeting him.
Although it wasn’t a warm greeting, just a glance or a small gesture, it was enough to make the black-haired demon feel a little surprised.
“It seems that your uncle is very popular.”
Hei Dan happily gave a soft cry.
GPS Hei Dan only knew how to get here. In the end, the black-haired demon had to recall the old route from his memory. If it were the outside world, hundreds of years later, the entire city would have changed beyond recognition. Fortunately, this is Yefar.
Following his memory, the black-haired demon once again stood in front of the employment market.
