When the purple moon rose to the zenith(directly above your head in the sky), the car Ah Jin was riding in also happened to stop in front of a wall full of flowers.
A purple castle stood behind the wall, with a romantic air around it, but, because of the atmosphere of the place, it looks just as weird as Mrs. Cantaro next door.
“Okay, you can go first.” When the car stopped, Mrs. Cantaro suddenly said to the driver in front, and then the demon left quickly. Not long after he left, Mrs. Cantaro also got out of the car.
Then the black-haired demon also came out of the car.
His gaze fell on the wall full of flowers, and he looked at it without any trace.
“Looking for the door? No need to look, this is the door.” Glancing at the black-haired demon, Mrs. Cantaro took out a key from her handbag, fiddled with it in the corner for a while, then pushed it hard against a place in the wall. The blooming wall standing in front of them slowly opened with her push.
Only then did the black-haired demon realize that it was not a wall, but just two tall metal doors, but the flowers were blooming so densely that it looked like a wall.
Pushing open the door herself, Mrs. Cantaro waved to let the black-haired demon in, and then locked the door herself.
She performed a series of movements with great proficiency.
The black-haired demon stood aside and just watched quietly.
After locking the door, Mrs. Cantaro took out a small handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead. During the process, she accidentally broke a pustule on her face and wiped away all the sweat and blood. Suddenly, she yelled loudly: “Xiao Ai! Xiao Luo! Xiao Ka! Come out quickly, mom has brought a new boyfriend back!”
The black-haired demon was noncommittal.
He suddenly felt the ground shaking under his feet. He looked at the grass on the ground, and when he saw the slender leaves of grass swaying regularly in a pattern visible to the naked eye, he heard footsteps.
Very heavy, almost roaring sound of footsteps.
Accompanied by a gust of wind, a small mountain-like monster appeared in front of him.
Its whole body was black, and the mane on its body looked like a steel helmet. It has a long nose, sharp and long fangs at the corners of its mouth, and with small eyes shining red in the dark, it looks like a terrifying beast.
The most terrifying thing is that it has three heads.
At this moment, two of the three heads are bending down to be intimate with Mrs. Cantaro, while the one in the middle is staring firmly at the black-haired demon beneath him, with no emotion in its eyes, as if it could swallow him up at any time.
“These are my three daughters! Xiao Ai, who is staring at you, is the eldest, she is a bit serious. There was a boyfriend who wanted to steal a vase from our house, but was bitten to death by Xiao Ai, hehe…”
Leaning on the side of this three-headed monster, Mrs. Cantaro’s huge body looked like a small bird.
Regardless of her uneven skin and pustules on her body, the two heads of the monster were sticking out their tongues and licking her vigorously.
After staring at Ah Jin carefully for a moment, the head in the middle finally moved away, and lowering her head, it also licked the female demon under her body.
Due to the distance, Ah Jin could smell her breath.
It was a rather pungent smell, mixed with the fishy smell of blood and soil, and perhaps something rotten.
“This is a monster, not a demon.” After carefully observing the huge monster in front of him, the black-haired demon confirmed.
“Ah~ What’s wrong with a monster? They are my beloved daughters, with the inheritance rights ahead of my husband. They are the most obedient and always accompany me. If they get lost, they will find their way back on their own, which is much more reliable than men.” Looking up, Mrs. Cantaro gently squeezed the thick forelimbs of the huge monster, but the huge three-headed monster remained motionless, just staring at Ah Jin below.
“Okay, okay, you go play by yourself, I’m going to eat inside.” She patted the front hooves of the giant monster again, and then walked forward with her skirt up. The black haired demon followed behind her, and the two walked one by one into the tall castle ahead.
It was very quiet here, except for the occasional roar of that three-headed monster, and the sound of the wind blowing the grass, there was no other sound. After entering the castle, this silence became even more obvious, and the castle was completely empty, with no third person.
“I don’t like to use servants. Those servants are always dishonest, they always make mistakes, and some are also very timid. Over time, I stopped using them.” Mrs. Cantaro said. Then throwing the exquisite handbag on the luxurious sofa, she wore a large apron and a chef’s hat over her gorgeous black dress and drilled into the kitchen. After a while, the clanking sound of bells came from inside, then she came out with two plates of rice full of grease.
It turned out to be a simple fried rice dish!
“Try it.” She passed the smaller plate to the black-haired demon, while she herself took the larger and fuller plate, and started to gobble it up as she sat down at the dining table.
Wearing a chef’s hat and a large apron with greasy sleeves, Mrs. Cantaro looked like a different person.
Although——
Her face has not changed at all.
Taking a cautious glance at the plate in front of him, Ah Jin paused, and finally picked up a spoon to eat.
He ate slowly, although there was only a rather ordinary fried rice dish in front of him, he ate it very elegantly.
Elegant and fast.
Mrs. Cantaro looked up at him from time to time while eating, until the black-haired demon put the last spoonful of fried rice on the plate into his mouth, chewed it, and then swallowed it.
“Are you wondering why I’m not unconscious?” The black-haired demon suddenly said as he wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin.
“Uh…” Mrs. Cantaro froze slightly.
“I used to eat the poison alone when I was hungry before, and ordinary anesthetics don’t work on me.” Putting aside the used napkin, the black-haired demon suddenly frowned slightly: “Besides… your anesthetic has expired.”
“Hehehe!” Mrs. Cantaro laughed awkwardly.
Pushing aside the greasy plate, Mrs. Cantaro suddenly said seriously: “Okay, let’s get down to business, what do you mean by letting me steal your things on purpose?”
Taking out a necklace from her skirt pocket, Mrs. Cantaro patted it on the table: “This is not Roma’s heart at all. I have asked the auctioneers, and this necklace is just an ordinary antique necklace.”
When she said this, Mrs. Cantaro’s expression was very serious. Although she was wearing a ridiculous apron and a chef’s hat, at this moment… She was undoubtedly a high-level demon with terrifying power.
“No man can lie to me. All the men who dare to lie to me have turned into fertilizer to grow the plants in the garden outside.” Her yellow brown eyes looked straight at the black haired demon across from her as she said,” You are very strong, but you may not be stronger than me. Besides, I have three daughters outside too.
“You know the name of the item I’m looking for, you know that I’m the original owner of the house, you know that Nan and I know each other, and you even know that the robbers were sent by me. Tell me, what exactly do you want after all this effort you put in?” The huge yellow brown eyes stared straight at the demon opposite, and gradually, a little black pupil in those eyes seemed to disappear, and inside only a transparent yellow remained…
The black-haired demon across from her seemed to be bewitched by her and just when Mrs. Cantaro was about to increase the effect of hypnosis, he suddenly smiled:
“I just gave a name to an antique necklace, and you did all the hard work.”
Mrs. Cantaro was instantly choked by his words——
Just when she was about to become even more angry, the black-haired demon suddenly stopped smiling, looked at her seriously, and then pointed to her finger: “I want the ring on your left ring finger.”
The female demon’s fingers froze immediately, and she took back her hand reflexively and replied without thinking, “Impossible, this is a wedding ring, it’s only for my husband or my daughter’s husband, unless you marry one of us, or—”
“I have Mr. Rom’s handwritten letter.” Before she could finish speaking, the black-haired demon suddenly took out a piece of paper from his pocket. Seeing that the female demon was about to snatch it, he immediately said: “Don’t move, if you dare to move without my permission, I will destroy this piece of paper immediately.”
Her huge body tilted and remained in mid-air, trying to maintain this awkward posture, but Mrs. Cantaro was really motionless.
“What did he leave behind?”
Mrs. Cantaro asked with a hoarse voice.
Then she heard the sound of someone pushing away a chair and standing up at the other end of the dining table, followed by footsteps.
The owner of the footsteps stood still beside her, holding a piece of worn out and yellowed paper between two pale fingers, and approached her in front of her.
It was a marriage contract.
On a certain day of a certain year, a certain person signed a marriage oath with a certain person, and they agreed to share each other’s lives until they die together.
There are only three lines on the paper, the first line is the title, the second line is the oath, and the third line is for the name and emblem of the signatory.
In the world of demons, only very few of them would sign such a marriage contract.
This is the highest level of marriage contract, truly living together and dying together, truly enduring old age.
On the third line, there was a golden emblem on the left where the space was reserved for the signature.
Below, the name has been signed.
…roye Rom
The first few words of the name have become blurred, and the signature space on the right was blank.
“Ro…Rom…” Mrs. Cantaro’s body stiffened and she called out the name tremblingly, with her expression immediately becoming furious: “That big liar! He said that I was the most beautiful woman in his eyes, and wanted to marry me and have kids. I even bought a house and built a studio for him! Collection room! Nursery room! Children’s room! I even learned how to cook for him! But that guy… he never came back…!”
The anger of the high-level demon was extremely terrifying and when she roared, the windows suddenly shattered.
Three pairs of terrifying red eyes appeared outside the window in an instant, watching every move of the hostess in the room without blinking, as if they would rush in at any sign of trouble——
“No, it’s not that he doesn’t want to come back, it’s just that he can’t come back.” The roof turned into powder and fell down, but none of it fell on the black-haired demon. As it was about to fall on him, it avoided him…
“Saroye Rom, it may sound a bit strange, but just from the name, you can definitely guess the real identity of the person you were about to marry .”
“The name of the devil king.”
“The golden emblem only belongs to the demons who are at the level of a devil king.”
“This is the marriage contract that the devil King wanted to sign with you.”
“Because he really fell in love with you, he went back to break the engagement with his seventh fiancée. But not long after he got this marriage contract, he was ambushed by his ex-fiancée.”
“It’s not that he doesn’t want to come back, but that he can’t come back.”
“He died.”
The black-haired demon spoke slowly, his expression was as calm and composed as ever. Although he spoke cruel words, his tone was gentle:
“Being able to prepare this marriage contract for you, I think he really loved you.”
Large tears suddenly rolled down Mrs. Cantaro’s yellow brown eyes.
“Ah… ah!” A heart-piercing cry suddenly came from within the castle without roof and glass.
