Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Could He Be the Male Lead of This Book?

After dealing with all the Lingxiao Sect people, the enraged Demon King quickly calmed down.

Sang Nian took the opportunity to slip away:

“Your Majesty, since there’s nothing else, we’ll be off.”

River Pufferfish Demon King: “Wait.”

Sang Nian took a breath:

“…Do you have something else?”

The Demon King waved her fin, the jade crystals that the Lingxiao Sect people had fallen into the river all flew out, a hundred or so in total.

“Since you’re so righteous and selfless to point out your own kind for me, I should thank you.”

She sent the jade crystals to Sang Nian:

“I see you humans are all looking for this thing, you must need it too, take it.”

Sang Nian: …

I’m going to slap myself tonight.

I’ll never use a pufferfish to clean my shoes ever again.

Shen Mingchao reacted quickly, he took the heavy jade crystals and said happily:

“Wow! I didn’t expect Your Majesty to not only be beautiful, but also so polite as a demon, how can we be so embarrassed to take it?”

The River Pufferfish Demon King was flattered, she lowered her head and shyly smiled:

“You are indeed different from those humans who bullied my son.”

“It’s rare to meet someone I connect with, I have many more of these jade crystals at home, they’re useless to me, come with me to get them.”

Shen Mingchao nodded frantically:

“Okay, okay.”

River Pufferfish Demon King:

“My son is also at home, he loves playing with you humans.”

Shen Mingchao: “Okay…”

Sang Nian covered his mouth, her face full of despair:

“Your Majesty, my mother suddenly called us home, she’s probably making dinner, can we reschedule?”

River Pufferfish Demon King:

“Then tell your mother that she doesn’t need to make dinner for you today.”

After saying that, she suddenly arched her back and carried them, diving into the water.

Shen Mingchao, who was about to speak:

“Glug, glug…”

He struggled to paddle his hands, his eyes rolled, and his body began to float slowly upwards.

Realizing that he might just float and become a floating corpse, the Demon King quickly spat out a few water-repelling beads.

Sang Nian quickly pulled Shen Mingchao back, stuffed one into his palm.

He took a big breath, and opened his eyes abruptly.

With the water-repelling beads, humans could breathe, speak, and walk in the water just like on land.

Shen Mingchao cried with a mournful face:

“Your Majesty, we don’t want the jade crystals anymore, can you let us go?”

The Demon King was a little angry:

“Are you afraid I’ll eat you?”

Shen Mingchao frantically shook his head:

“How could that be, Your Majesty, you’re not that kind of demon.”

She snorted coldly:

“I’m not that kind of low-level demonic beast that hasn’t opened its spiritual intelligence, they eat raw meat and drink blood, they see humans and eat them, it’s disgusting.”

Shen Mingchao’s worried heart calmed down a little.

She added:

“As long as you don’t offend me, I won’t eat you.”

Shen Mingchao gathered his courage and asked:

“What kind of offense specifically?”

The Demon King: “Using my son to clean your shoes.”

Shen Mingchao: …

Shen Mingchao looked at Sang Nian with a mournful face.

Sang Nian lowered her head, carefully stringing the water-repelling bead onto the strings of the qin on her wrist, adjusting it left and right, as if she was very busy.

Chu Yao secretly sent a voice message:

“Should we run now?”

Sang Nian: “We have to be able to run, water-type demons, water is their home turf.”

Shen Mingchao anxiously said:

“What do we do then? Do we really have to wait until we get to her house, be recognized by her son, and then be chewed up, three bites each?”

Sang Nian calmed down:

“What are you afraid of, when we get to the mountain, there will be a path.”

Shen Mingchao went crazy:

“When we get to the bridge, we’ll naturally sink.”

Sang Nian: “Shut up.”

As they spoke, a small house appeared on the riverbed ahead.

The River Pufferfish’s figure shrank, changing from a domineering Demon King into a gentle and round woman.

She reached out to lead the way: “Please come in.”

Everyone was a little surprised:

“This is actually no different from human dwellings.”

The woman smiled:

“A cultivator gave it to us a long time ago, she’s also the one who made me realize that not all humans are bad.”

“Except for the one who used my son to clean their shoes.”

Sang Nian was indignant:

“That’s right, how dark does someone’s heart have to be to use a cute little pufferfish to clean their shoes!”

Chu Yao/Shen Mingchao:

Stare

Sang Nian touched her nose, her voice softened:

“But it’s also possible that person wasn’t intentional, they just wanted to clean their shoes and couldn’t find a brush.”

Ahead, the door of the house slowly opened.

A boy who looked about eight or nine years old quickly ran out, shouting:

“Mom, did you find that bad guy to get revenge for me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sang Nian behind the woman, and his eyes widened in terror.

Sang Nian took the lead and walked in front of him, squatting down, blocking the woman’s view.

She gave the boy a kind smile:

“Hello.”

The boy was even more terrified, he opened his mouth to call for his mother.

She was prepared, she seized the opportunity and threw a candied plum inside.

He tasted the unfamiliar sweetness, his eyes sparkled:

“What is this?”

Sang Nian grabbed a handful of plums wrapped in bubbles:

“It’s a candied plum, do you want some?”

He nodded frantically.

Sang Nian secretly sent a voice message to him:

“Big sister apologizes for using you to clean her shoes before, can you forgive Big Sister and not tell your mother about it?”

The boy hesitated.

Sang Nian gave him all the candied plums, not forgetting to gently touch his head, she whispered like a devil:

“If you tell anyone about this, the plums you just ate will turn you into a toad, you don’t want that, right?”

The boy visibly trembled, he believed her words.

The woman noticed his strangeness:

“What’s wrong?”

The boy said resolutely:

“This big sister is a good person, a very good person!!!”

The woman saw the candied plums wrapped in bubbles in his hand, and scolded:

“No manners, you want to eat other people’s things when you first meet them.”

The boy lowered his head in grievance.

Sang Nian smiled: “It’s okay, it’s only fair, he likes it.”

The woman finally stopped.

“Come in and have a seat.” She invited, “My husband went out for a walk, he’ll be back soon, then we can have dinner.”

Shen Mingchao’s legs went weak, he wanted to cry again.

He sent a voice message to Sang Nian and Chu Yao:

“There’s another Demon King here, we three are just right, they have a family of three, a demon and a human, fair and just.”

Sang Nian: “I already talked to the little pufferfish, he won’t tell.”

Shen Mingchao was surprised: “How did you do that?”

Sang Nian smiled slightly, calmly:

“With sincerity.”

Everyone entered the house, the woman went to the next room to look for the collected jade crystals, the little pufferfish sat on the stool, puffing bubbles nervously.

Sang Nian sat beside him, patted his obviously stiff back:

“Don’t be afraid, as long as you keep the secret, we won’t do anything to you.”

After saying that, she took out dozens of snacks, all wrapped in bubbles, and gave them to him.

The little pufferfish immediately became happy, he wanted to reach for them, but hesitated and retracted his hand:

“Why don’t you use me to clean your shoes again.”

Sang Nian: ???

The little pufferfish twiddled his fingers, and said with a conflicted expression:

“I was just wiped with your shoes and kicked lightly, but you gave me so many delicious things, I feel a little guilty.”

Sang Nian: …

Shen Mingchao “pfft”ed out a laugh, touched the little pufferfish’s head, and deliberately teased him:

“Come on, call me Daddy, forget about the snacks, I’ll give you my life.”

The little pufferfish was even more conflicted.

Sang Nian glared at him, and said to the little pufferfish:

“I shouldn’t have done that to you before, this is an apology, just take it.”

The little pufferfish finally took the snacks, and said:

“Then I’ll give you something too.”

Sang Nian waved her hand:

“No need, what good things can a kid like you have…”

The little pufferfish moved a simple and unadorned box, opened it with his hand, and the golden light illuminated half the room.

Even Shen Mingchao couldn’t open his eyes from the glare:

“What is this? It’s so dazzling!”

When the light faded, Sang Nian looked down.

Wow, it’s a golden legend.

The box was filled with various top-grade magic tools, each one exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

Shen Mingchao and Chu Yao also gathered around.

Shen Mingchao widened his eyes, and said blankly:

“I think I saw the Sword Energy, ranked third on the cultivation world’s famous sword list.”

Little Pufferfish: “You like it?”

He casually picked it up:

“Here you go.”

Shen Mingchao’s hands trembled as he took it, he unsheathed the sword.

As soon as the sword energy leaked out a little, everyone started to tremble at the same time.

He shivered as he put the sword back in its sheath, and sincerely said to the little pufferfish:

“Why don’t I just kowtow to you? I feel so guilty.”

The little pufferfish didn’t care:

“These are all things I picked up while I was out for a walk, feel free to pick whatever you like, if I run out, I’ll go pick some more.”

Sang Nian gasped.

Could he be the male lead of this book?

The son of destiny, so terrifying!
