Chapter 4 4. They are demons

Old Man Gu was a little worried. The child was so young, her father had died, and her mother had remarried. I heard that her mother had even cut off all ties with her.

Even a grown man would need half a year to earn this much money. How could a little girl like her have the ability to earn so much money?

Liu Cuihua also looked at her suspiciously. Could it be that she had found a backer like her mother?

The white fox smiled and ignored their suspicious looks.

"Grandpa Gu, don't worry. I have a clear source for this money. I went to Taibai Mountain and was lucky enough to dig up a ginseng. I sold it to Huichuntang, and that's how I got my money."

"I want to renovate the restaurant. I plan to open a restaurant and earn money to support myself."

Baihu Yaoyao's words were half true and half false.

It was true that she did have ginseng and sold it to Huichuntang.

The fake thing is that she didn’t dig this thing up from Taibai Mountain.

"You kid! Why did you go to Taibai Mountain alone? It's very dangerous there! Did you encounter any danger?" The old man disagreed and scolded her.

He has watched this child grow up since he was a child. Her father is a loyal man and has helped him a lot. It's just that her mother is unreasonable.

If anything happens to her, her father will probably not rest in peace in his grave.

Baihu Yaoyao smiled, knowing that it was Grandpa Gu who was worried about her.

"Grandpa Gu, my father is gone, and my mother has severed ties with me. If I don't find a way out for myself, I'll starve to death or freeze to death. I'm grown up now and can support myself."

"If I don't give it a try, how can I have the money to survive? Now I'm giving it a try, isn't this a success?"

Taibai Mountain is just fifty miles away from this town. It is an uncivilized primeval forest.

This winter, Taibai Mountain is even more dangerous. Even if there is no firewood at home, few people dare to go in and chop wood.

Someone had been there before and heard that they dug out ginseng. That person came back with a limp.

She said it was ginseng dug from Taibai Mountain, and no one would suspect anything.

All they could say was that she was lucky, not only did she dig up ginseng, but she also came back alive.

The old man took two puffs of his pipe and said, "Hey! You have a miserable life too. It's best that you are alright. I will definitely fix up that restaurant for you."

They are outsiders and cannot make decisions for the child. As long as the child is fine and doesn't go astray, that's enough.

Baihu Yaoyao stood up and prepared to leave, "Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa Gu. I'll be leaving first."

Looking at the back of Baihu Yaoyao, Liu Cuihua also sighed.

This child is a good person, not as shameless as her mother. She shouldn't take her anger out on this child.

When Baihu Yaoyao returned to the restaurant, it was already dark.

Time in winter is always short, and it’s night in the blink of an eye.

Baihu Yaoyao cooked a simple meal and had it for dinner.

I went back to the room and lit a red charcoal fire, making the room warm.

Finally, I can have a warm and peaceful sleep.

She just thought too much!

Late in the night, someone knocked on the door again.

I saw that it was the old man who came last time, and there was a young man following behind him.

Baihu Yaoyao has a headache.

"Hello, young lady! Sorry to bother you again." The old man saluted by beating his chest with his right hand.

"Meet the girl!"

The young man next to him knelt on one knee and saluted.

Can Wuyou looked at the white fox Yaoyao. Such a beautiful female cub actually opened a restaurant?

How could she do such a rough job?

In the demon tribe, there are no women who cook by themselves!

Because in the demon tribe, women are very precious!

Women with noble blood are even rarer and more precious, and men like them can’t even protect them enough!

Why would they be asked to do such rough work?

Human men are too unkind to women!

If this happened in the demon tribe and made a woman unhappy, she would be despised by all the demon men!

Not to mention letting such a beautiful female human cub open a restaurant.

White Fox Yaoyao: ...

I was shocked. What was going on?

Why did this young man give her such a big gift?

"It's okay, we're already here! Hurry up and get up! Come in!"

Baihu Yaoyao quickly asked the two to stand up. It was really unbearable to have to greet each other every time they met.

What's wrong with this?

The old man was dressed very gorgeously today, completely different from the beggar he was last night.

The young man who came with him today didn't look very old.

The boy is very handsome, with big, bright and watery eyes that seem to be able to speak.

In her opinion, he was just a little puppy type of boy.

"Grandpa, you're here in the middle of the night again? It's true this is a restaurant, but it's not open yet! If you want to eat, you should come during the day, not here in the middle of the night!"

"Look, what time is it? It's already past midnight!"

This old man is quite strange. He always comes out to eat late at night.

The white fox yawned.

Isn't this disturbing people's dreams?

He looked disgusted on the surface, but couldn't help but feel excited inside.

The sucker who gave away ginseng is here again!

I wiped the corner of my mouth and found that I was drooling again!

Elder Shen glanced at her helplessly, "Do you think I don't want to come during the day? But your restaurant only appears in our area after midnight!"

The old man brought the young man in and found a seat to sit down.

I'm familiar with this place.

Baihu Yaoyao was confused. "What do you mean? My restaurant is always here?"

Could it be possible that her restaurant will run away?

Her restaurant has been here for many years. It has been here as long as she can remember.

Where else can I go if the restaurant is not here?

Can Wuyou spoke in a voice that was unique to a teenager, "No! Your restaurant only appears in our demon clan's Zhaiyi City after midnight."

belch!

Baihu Yaoyao was choked. Was she hallucinating?

Demon race?

"No! What do you mean by that? I don't quite understand." Baihu Yaoyao couldn't believe it.

Demon race?

Are these two people from the demon tribe?

Do the demons in novels really exist?

That's right! She's already traveled through time, so what's impossible?

Elder Shen walked to the door and pointed at the two red lanterns hanging on the door. "These lanterns will only light up automatically after midnight. Your restaurant will appear in the demon tribe. These two lanterns are not simple!"

When he first came here, he felt strange. Why would a female human cub open a restaurant in their demon tribe?

Later, when he saw the two lanterns, he understood.

After returning to the tribe and checking the classics, I found out that these two lanterns were the ancient supreme magic weapon "Jiemen Lanterns".

Even in the demon world, it is not certain that you can find a second treasure as good as this one.

It must be that this little girl accidentally lit the gate lamp, which is why her restaurant appeared in the demon world.

"What the hell? What's so special about these two broken lanterns of mine?"

When she wanted to light the lamp, it wouldn't work, but when she didn't want to, it would light up automatically.

It’s the kind that lights up automatically after midnight.

This is simply a troublesome lantern.

Old Shen found a chair and sat down, stroking his goatee and looking at the white fox Yaoyao meaningfully.

"Little girl, these two lanterns are supreme demon weapons. They can open the gate to the demon world after midnight. Otherwise, how could we enter your restaurant?"

Yaoyao, the white fox, was confused. "You mean these two lanterns can open the door to the demon world? Then can I go to your demon world?"

The white fox has starry eyes.

She was really curious about the demon world.

It would be nice if I could go and have some fun.

Who knows, maybe I can bring back some treasures from the demon world.

Elder Shen shook his head. "You have no spiritual power. If you go to the demon world, you will only be crushed by the spiritual power. However, we can come to your place to eat, but we also cannot pass through that barrier and cannot go to your human world."

He actually wanted to take this little girl to their demon tribe.

The demon race is facing a reproduction crisis, and the number of females has become one hundred thousand to one.

If this little girl went to the demon tribe, wouldn't she become the object of competition?

What a pity! Their demon clan couldn't go to the human world, and she couldn't go to the demon clan either.

When the demons came to the restaurant, the only place they could move freely was within the restaurant.

This also includes the backyard of the restaurant, where they can move freely.

Outside this range, the demon race will be restricted.

Elder Shen looked at his great-grandson helplessly. This kid doesn’t even have a partner!

It would be nice if the female human cub could take this boy in as a mate.

At worst, we can just let them meet in the evening.

After thinking about it, Mr. Shen felt that his bad idea was feasible!

Baihu Yaoyao didn't expect that the old man had so many useless thoughts and walked out the door in silence.

"Uncle, it's snowing outside. Can't you see the snowy scenery?"

What came into view was the streets of Taoyuan Town that she was very familiar with.

The streets covered with heavy snow were clearly visible in the moonlight, and she could still walk freely on the streets.

Elder Shen shook his head and said, "What I saw was the streets of our demon tribe. It doesn't snow in our demon tribe."

"I did notice that the backyard of the restaurant was covered in snow. It is indeed snowing in your human world."

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Mr. Shen stood up and walked out the door, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

When Mr. Shen appeared again, he was standing at the door of the restaurant.

I walked around the restaurant again and then took a walk around the backyard of the restaurant.

Baihu Yaoyao is now certain that what this person said is true.

The human world and the demon world are like two parallel time and space that will never intersect, and the medium is her restaurant.

During the day, the entrance of her restaurant is in the human world, and after midnight, the entrance of her restaurant is in the demon world.

"In other words, you people from the demon world can only come to my restaurant to eat after midnight. You can't come at other times?"

"You demon people are here, and your activities are limited to my restaurant?"

"Even if it's past midnight and the restaurant is in your demon world, when I walk out of the restaurant door, I'm still in our human world?"

"And after you walk out of the gate, that's your demon world?"

This time she finally understood!

If she opens a restaurant in the future, she will be busy during the day and also busy with business in the demon world at night. Wouldn’t she be exhausted to death?

No! She had to find another way.

"That's right! We, the demon race, can only move within the confines of your restaurant."

"We can only come to your restaurant to eat at midnight." Mr. Shen stroked his beard and explained to her patiently.

"What will happen if the people from your demon tribe don't leave when the time comes?" Baihu Yaoyao was a little curious.

This light always goes out at five o'clock in the morning, and her restaurant should be in the human world by then.

Elder Shen laughed heartily, "Of course you will be forcibly sent back to the demon tribe by the boundary gate lamp, unless you have strong enough power to make the boundary gate lamp under your control."

Baihu Yaoyao's eyes lit up. "Is there such a good thing? I can control the boundary gate light?"

"Little girl, do you think anyone can control the gate light?"

"No more! Little girl, my grandson never likes to eat. The food here is delicious, so I brought him here to eat. As usual, I'll use ginseng to pay for the meal."

The old man took out another ginseng, which turned out to be a thousand-year-old snow ginseng.

The white fox looked at the ginseng with shining eyes and immediately put the idea of ​​controlling the boundary gate light behind his mind.

"Old man, are you serious? How about using this to pay for your meals from now on?"

People from the demon race must have a lot of treasures.

She must pick more.

Elder Shen smiled and nodded, "Sure! We don't lack this stuff."

Can the ginseng tribe live without ginseng?

At this time, Can Wuyou took out a bright red fruit from the storage bag on his waist.

"This is ginseng fruit, for you to eat!" Shen Wuyou smiled, revealing his white teeth.

Old Shen raised his eyebrows. How could this kid be willing to give his favorite ginseng fruit to others?

It seems that this boy really likes this girl. "Girl, just take it! This ginseng fruit takes a thousand years to bloom and bear fruit. A piece of the fruit can cure all diseases and extend a person's life by ten years. I have never seen this grandson give anything to other girls in the four hundred years since he was born. It seems that he likes you very much and is willing to give you the fruit he likes to eat."

It took their Ginseng Clan three thousand years to have such a grandson.

He was spoiled by the people in the tribe and became lawless, and he didn't like anyone.

Now that he can share his favorite food with a little human girl, it seems that he really likes her.

This is a good thing.

Can Wuyou stuffed the fruit into her hand without saying anything, "Baby, I'll give you something delicious in the future."

The corner of Baihu Yaoyao's mouth twitched, cub?

What the hell is this name?

I was a little confused holding the fruit. Is this a real ginseng fruit?

This is a great treasure, don’t miss it!

I made a fortune this time!

He put the ginseng fruit away and pinched Shen Wuyou's still chubby face. "Are you really four hundred years old?"

It really is the Ginseng tribe! Longevity is the key!

Can Wuyou nodded, "That's right! People in our demon tribe have a lifespan of 5,000 years. In the demon tribe, we are considered adults at 500 years old. I am still a child now! I see that you are only 15 years old, which means you are still a cub in the demon tribe! I should call you sister cub!"

Can Wuyou looked at her with burning eyes. The little female human cub was so cute!

I want to touch it!

The white fox Yaoyao roared in her heart, isn’t she envious, jealous and hateful?

The lifespan of the demon race is as long as five thousand years!

Five thousand years old!

She also wants to live a few more years!

She was just thinking about it, as the human lifespan was limited.

Baihu Yaoyao raised an eyebrow and looked at the boy in front of him who was much taller than him.

I didn’t expect that such a kid is actually four hundred years old!

She pinched her waist, looking fierce, "No! You must call me sister!"

The little puppy who calls me sister, is so nice!

If this kid were a human, he would be about the same age as her.

Who can compare with him in age among the demon race?

She suffered such a loss!

"Okay! Sister! I'm hungry! I'm a man and should protect women. Can I cook with you?"

Can Wuyou compromised.

Just call me sister!

Who makes her a woman?

Women are meant to be loved.

Baihu Yaoyao was happy. "You don't have to help me! It's just cooking. I can do it myself. You wait here. Sister will make you something delicious."

Then he went to the kitchen.

I feel so happy to have a 400-year-old brother!
