Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The devil enjoys endless years,...

Suddenly, something cool and spherical was forcefully stuffed into his mouth.

The canine teeth bit down instinctively, splashing out a large stream of sweet juice, dispelling the bloody taste that lingered in his mouth for a long time.

"Am I awesome?"

Thinking of the cooking skills that his future self would show her, Lin Miao childishly reciprocated to the young Reese.

"Just now I saw a cherry tomato among all the flowers and plants. Aren't they sweet?"

What is a "cherry tomato"? His mind went blank as he wondered. What is "sweet"?

Does it mean something you have never tasted before and how it tastes?

Reis really wanted to see what the "little tomato" she was talking about looked like, and he also wanted to see the expression of the woman who made him taste the "sweetness".

But he was too tired, so tired that he couldn't even open his heavy eyelids.

"Alas," Lin Miao looked at him, "Why are you doing this?"

No matter big or small, she counted that every time she saw the dog, there were always many times when it was not injured.

The light that didn't belong in hell shone on the boy's thick eyelashes, casting a soft light and shadow. His senses were occupied by sweetness, and naturally he no longer had the extra energy to keep his secret.

"Become stronger." He answered confusedly.

"If you become stronger... you won't be... abandoned."

"……abandon?"

Lin Miao repeated the word doubtfully.

Before she could think about it, a white light flashed before her eyes, the picture suddenly distorted, and she fell into the dark tunnel again.

When she woke up again, she found herself in an abandoned old house.

In the thick night, the pale moonlight outlined the crooked shadows of the trees. Lin Miao looked around the house. There were damaged walls, dilapidated walls, and even the bloody remains of animals that had died not long ago in a row of dusty bamboo baskets in the corner.

A gust of wind rushed in through the broken window, howling and wailing inside the house, making her feel cold and dizzy.

Even dreams have a binary opposition, don't they? Just a moment ago, it was a fairytale world of chirping birds and fragrant flowers, and now she's been transported straight to a ghost story from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio!!!

She also changed her clothes into a black robe and black skirt to suit the occasion, as if she was afraid that the atmosphere would not be scary enough.

But then again, that garden with light but no real sun could be considered a "genetic mutation" in the Demon Realm. But here, there is actually a moon, so that's the real human world... ?

The three-headed dog actually left the Demon Realm.

Is this what they call "it is worse to have no books than to believe in them blindly"? She was amused by her sudden imagination.

After making sure there was no trace of Reese in the house, Lin Miao walked outside.

It's so cold.

Her gaze darted around, hunching over as she walked. The discomfort this horror movie-like environment brought her was so intense that Lin Miao had to resort to constant internal complaints to alleviate it. She'd been thinking about this before: was it really necessary for the five senses in this dream to be so realistic...?

Passing by a ruined wall, Lin Miao stopped at an inconspicuous corner.

The child, half hidden by several old wooden barrels, huddled in the corner, almost blending into the night. The darkness became his best cover at this moment.

She approached silently and barely made out his dirty little face.

Little Reese's clothes were torn into rags, and he was holding his tail, gnawing on it mechanically.

The scales at the end of the tail had completely fallen off, revealing the white bone stump; but he seemed to feel no pain and just kept biting.

Lin Miao: “…”

She just said, no matter what the scene is, he is so miserable!

The power reversal happened twice, but Lin Miao did not feel as happy as she had imagined, especially when she thought that he had never really hurt her except for the first time they met. Instead, a faint bitterness came to her heart.

"Hello."

She wasn't sure how to start, so she skipped the small talk and went straight to him.

The shadow fell, and the child suddenly raised his eyes, his five fingers bent into claws, his sharp black nails extended, and his golden pupils shot out the same fierce look as he had in the garden.

Lin Miao was not afraid then, so it is even less likely that he will be afraid this time.

"...I'm not here to hurt you." She spread out her hands with a frank expression, showing that she had no ill intentions.

Perhaps it was because the tone of the woman in front of him was too gentle, her dark eyes were too deceptive, and her body language was so sincere that there was no trace of falsehood, so that when she picked him up, Reis forgot to struggle and resist, but curled up quietly in her arms, sniffing slightly.

The pleasant smell enveloped his whole body, and the burning, insatiable hunger in his stomach seemed to be satisfied, no longer clamoring to devour everything.

The child in her arms was as light as a feather. Lin Miao carried him back to the dilapidated house without much effort and placed him on a wooden chair that was almost collapsed.

Reese grabbed her sleeve and looked her straight in the eye.

"Just getting you something to eat." Lin Miao laughed. Did he think she was going to leave immediately?

The word "food" struck a chord with Reese. After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally let go of her hand, his eyes still glued to her. Lin Miao let him stare, moving the bamboo basket in front of him. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Could this kind of flesh and blood appearing on the set of a horror movie really not have some eerie elements...?

In fact, on the way back, she had thought about feeding him directly with her own blood. After all, it was much more convenient. But judging from the previous situation, she had a vague feeling that the "dream" she entered with the skill was too real and weird - and the appearance of this basket of meat was too coincidental, as if... it was specially prepared for the puppy.

She felt she shouldn't act rashly before determining whether this was simply a "dream" or would interfere with the past or even affect the future.

She couldn't let the current Reese become "addicted" to her blood.

The stench of animal flesh assaulted Little Reese's sense of smell, and the suppressed hunger surged back, tearing at every vein in his body. He desperately wanted to devour the food, but a last vestige of thought caused his gaze to flicker between her and the bamboo basket.

Hmm? Lin Miao was puzzled, then realized that transforming physical animals into magical energy like the future Reese required a very high level of magical attainments and a sufficient foundation of magical power, and it was obvious that the young puppy at this time had neither.

He probably didn't want her to see his "brutal" appearance of eating raw flesh and blood.

Well, she respected his idea. Lin Miao turned her back and indeed heard the sounds of chewing and swallowing.

In a short while, Reese had finished the entire animal, leaving not even a bone. She had underestimated the three-headed dog's terrifying bite and digestive ability.

"Tell me, how come you, a creature from the Demon Realm, are hiding in a corner of the human world?" Lin Miao half-knelt down and looked into the boy's eyes.

He subconsciously hid his tail and pursed his lips.

"Don't want to say it? Then I'll leave?" Lin Miao pretended to get up.

"Wait... wait..." The boy spoke with difficulty as he explained word by word. "I accidentally came here. I was hungry. I went to the mountains to hunt. I was... chased away."

Thinking of the hunters and villagers who were waving sticks and bows to drive him away, and beating him with ferocious expressions, his golden eyes were covered with a thick layer of gloom.

He tried to fight back, but he was too weak.

With insufficient magic power and a weak body, even if it had relatively sharp teeth, it would not be enough to withstand so many attacks from adults.

In this way, he was driven down the mountain without any suspense.

Lin Miao understood.

The three-headed dog's arrival in the human world must have been an accident. Unable to find a way back home, it fled to the nearby mountains in search of food, only to run into nearby villagers who were out hunting. Mistaking it for a monster, it was injured and driven away.

No wonder he looks so miserable.

——A scarred childhood, a century of lonely maturity, the devil enjoyed endless years, but it seemed that he had never been treated gently by this world, even once.

"...Go to sleep." The comforting words took a detour on the tip of her tongue. Lin Miao gently took his hand and led him to the simple bed made of several couches.

"Everything will be fine after a good night's sleep."

Race lay down obediently, holding her hand tightly.

"Then...what about you?" he asked.

"Me?" Lin Miao smiled. "Of course I'm accompanying you."

"Agreed?"

“It’s a deal.”

After getting the promise he wanted, he closed his eyes with peace of mind, and even when he fell asleep, the corners of his lips were still fixed in an upward arc.

Lin Miao gently tucked a few strands of messy red and black hair behind Reis's ears, touched his cheek, then untied her black cloak and covered the boy with it.

After doing all this, the familiar pulling feeling came over me.

Lin Miao had a premonition that he would have to return to reality this time.

Was she missing something...? She frowned, thinking hard.

The moment before his consciousness slipped into darkness, Lin Miao had an epiphany.

In this dream, she forgot to tell him her name from beginning to end!

…

Lin Miao sat up suddenly.

She was still in Reese's bed, but the man was no longer in the room.

...You can't just leave like this, right?!

Judging from the furious chief's personality, this reaction meant that she had wasted the whole night!

Lin Miao jumped out of bed in a hurry, opened the door, and trotted along the corridor to the dining room. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw Reese sitting lazily in a daze.

Relieved, she even had the leisure to observe his appearance.

The exquisite black shirt fits his sturdy figure, with the top button fastened, and a few strokes of gold embroidery on the chest highlighting the classical charm.

——New outfits have been added.

Why the mighty three-headed dog of hell has so many human men's clothes remains a mystery.

On the table in front of Reese were sliced ​​bread, steaming milk, shiny baked meat, and a small plate of sunset fruit.

The critical hit created by the combination of beauty and delicious food suddenly made Lin Miao deeply empathize with the inner thoughts of the domineering president in the novel when he returned home - that was really life!

"Are you waiting for me?" she leaned over and asked with emotion.

"Waiting for some useless human who wouldn't even kill a pigeon." Reis was brought back to his senses by her and sneered, "Are you?"

"It's me." Lin Miao walked in boldly, sat down opposite him, and curled her lips. "Why did you heat up the milk too?"

"I'm just worried that some people might get sick from drinking cold water and contaminate my food." The devil turned his face slightly to the side, unable to hide the suspicious blush on his earlobe.

Lin Miao wisely swallowed back the words "How can it be so fragile" that almost slipped out of his mouth, and happily enjoyed the hearty breakfast.

The air became quiet, with only the occasional crisp sound of knives and forks clashing.

He looked at Lin Miao and couldn't help but recall the dream he had just had.
