Chapter 104 Harmony

They're not attacking me now, probably because they feel they're not worthy. After all, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? If they were to attack, they'd be lowering themselves to the task.

Yunxi was right. Another reason was that these powerful demons had been imprisoned here for so many years, and they were all tired of seeing each other.

Don't be fooled by their playful bickering just now; they're usually too lazy to talk. They'll stretch after waking up, sigh about how many years have passed, and then go back to sleep.

They woke up after hearing a strange noise today and found a human baby. What's the point of killing it? Wouldn't it be better to keep it to amuse themselves?

Perhaps they were really bored, because these people, no, these demons, became so engrossed in watching that the scene quieted down for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, an indescribable stench suddenly filled the tower, even waking up the black bears that had been hibernating.

The white fox was the first to lash out, "Which shameless bastard is still defecating at his age?"

Even if she talks about poop and pee, it doesn't affect the white fox's beauty.

Yunxi was once again stunned by the stunning beauty. It took her a while to realize that the "shit" she was talking about was probably the thing she was cooking.

She awkwardly held up the spoon in her hand. "Um, you've misunderstood. It's not...it's noodles I cooked. Would you like to try some?"

The white fox stared at Yunxi with a look of utter disbelief, "How have the human cultivators outside fallen to this state?"

The black dragon, who had transformed into a man in black, also looked puzzled.

Only the Taotie, now a little baby, looked excited, saying, "Give me some, I want to try it."

It is said that Taotie thought that it would be easier to feel full if it became a child, but in reality, it never felt full no matter what form it took, as its belly seemed to be a bottomless pit.

Under the puzzled and disgusted gazes of the other demons, Yunxi and Taotie, one human and one demon, began to enjoy the strange-smelling dish, which was supposedly snail rice noodles, with satisfied expressions.

They could understand Taotie; that guy thought everything tasted delicious.

But the little kid was eating with a satisfied look on his face, and the smell seemed to get better as he smelled it. Maybe he should try it too?

With this mindset in mind, the Crimson Lion, the White Snake, and the Black Bear became the second group of taste testers after the Glutton.

As a result, I was won over by the snail rice noodles that I had previously disliked.

Yunxi had no choice but to take out the remaining ingredients and continue cooking.

Seeing that the others were also enjoying their food, the white fox couldn't sit still any longer and joined the third wave of taste testers, just like the dragon.

Yunxi remained silent, simply opening the bag, boiling, rinsing, boiling again, adding seasonings...

"This is delicious, I really enjoyed it. Little one, do you have any more? Cook some more." Taotie said with a satisfied look, patting his belly which hadn't changed at all.

Yunxi shook her head, "Um, I'm tired of cooking, let's talk about it later. You guys eat this first, I need to rest for a while."

Yunxi originally wanted to say no more, but then she thought about how long she would be staying here, and she really liked eating snail rice noodles. What if she couldn't resist wanting to eat some later but couldn't get any? That would give her away, so Yunxi changed her mind at the last minute.

She didn't want to open the trading system, fearing that these powerful demons would see something amiss, but unfortunately, these demons, especially the gluttonous one, were too voracious, and her stock was basically all gone.

She thought she might as well try sending a message first, since these demons probably wouldn't even look at her things given their abilities.

So Yunxi started contacting Ningxuan to make a large-scale purchase.

Ning Xuan was surprised. This was the first time Yun Xi had asked for such a large amount of food and storybooks. Could it be that Yun Xi had also opened a shop in the cultivation world?

Yunxi hasn't opened a shop, but it's practically the same as having one right now, as these powerful demons are her current customers.

Seeing that Yunxi wanted a lot, Ningxuan worried that what she had wasn't enough, so she contacted Lin Yuhan and told her about Yunxi's request.

Lin Yuhan was glad that the supermarket had just received another batch of goods a couple of days ago, mainly food items. So she didn't hesitate and cleared out all the new instant noodles, snail rice noodles, and snacks she had just received.

Fortunately, she was in charge of purchasing the goods, and these items hadn't been entered into the warehouse system yet, so it was a good time to get another batch.

To avoid suspicion, Lin Yuhan would donate things from time to time. If a disaster occurred somewhere, Lin Yuhan would donate large quantities of supplies to the disaster area. In this way, even if the employees found that a lot of things were suddenly missing from the warehouse, they would not think anything was wrong and would only think that Lin Yuhan had taken them to do charity again.

However, their supermarket didn't have many novels, just a few shelves of books, which also included other types of books, so she had to go to a bookstore and scan all the new and old books.

Soon, Yunxi received all sorts of snacks, pastries, bread, meat, and of course, lots of sketchbooks from Ningxuan.

For convenience, Ning Xuan used other storage rings that Yun Xi later traded to her for the transaction, since Ning Xuan has now started cultivating, and she can put things into them even without binding them to storage rings.

So all these things can be put into the storage ring, and the system only charges points for one item at a time—it's an absolute steal!

With this batch of supplies, Ning Xuan also gained various kinds of pills, talismans, and several cultivation manuals. However, she is still only at the first level of Qi Refining and is not in a hurry to learn new cultivation manuals.

She had a feeling that if she practiced for another month or so, she would be able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, it is said that the first three levels of Qi Refining are the easiest to reach, the fourth level is the middle stage of Qi Refining, which is a bit more difficult, and the later stage of Qi Refining is even more difficult. Foundation Establishment is the first major watershed for cultivators.

On Yunxi's side, if someone has very poor aptitude, they might be stuck at the mid-stage of Qi Refining until their lifespan is exhausted.

However, Ning Xuan is still on her way back to the Red Star Brigade, where she plans to continue her serious cultivation.

Meanwhile, Yunxi, who had received the gifts, didn't want to cook noodles for the time being, so she served the demons a new food—instant noodles, in various flavors.

Sure enough, the great demons were once again attracted by the new food. They tried one flavor and then wanted to try another. Fortunately, Yunxi didn't have to cook it this time.

Yunxi taught the great demons how to make instant noodles, letting them fend for themselves. And let me tell you, it was quite a novel experience.

Yunxi happened to have a fire elemental root and brought a pot, so she provided the hot water.

For several days in a row, the one person and the ten demons lived in harmony, either reading stories or eating, and sometimes asking Yunxi to tell them about the situation outside.

Yunxi casually recounted the changes that had taken place on the Yunlan Continent over the years.

As time passed, a month went by in the blink of an eye, and Yunxi still hadn't found a way to get out, so she couldn't help but feel anxious.
