The lobster spirit regretted what he had just said. He covered his mouth and groaned inwardly.
The master told them not to reveal their secrets, in order to avoid the plan being exposed and the revival of the demon race failing.
How come he said so many things in such a hurry?
Alas, it was all An Rugu and Ji Xing's fault for mocking his demon race's ideal of dominating the world! He lost his temper and couldn't control his mouth. When he came to his senses, he had already revealed a lot of information.
but……
He patted his chest and relaxed a little. He only talked about their monster affairs and didn't say much about the master. The master shouldn't blame him, right?
Of course, the master was very mysterious. Even if he wanted to say something, he couldn't say anything.
Ji Xing noticed something was wrong and frowned as he asked, "Well, you reactionaries actually have an organization, that's incredible."
He had watched An Rugu's live broadcast and knew about the fox spirit that sucked people's essence and the koi monster that sucked people's luck, but he had never linked them together. Now he knew that these monsters were in the same group!
The mastermind behind this is really well hidden!
When the lobster spirit heard the word "reactionary", he felt that it was not a good word, and he grumbled in dissatisfaction: "How can it be called reactionary? We monsters are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and we are much more powerful than humans. How can we let humans suppress us? We monsters should be the masters of this world."
"Besides..."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, looked up at Ji Xing, and smiled, like a lackey: "Master Ji Xing, you are not a human immortal, you are a dragon, and in fact a member of the demon race. Aren't you worried about the situation of the demon race?"
"I've given you the recipe, and you must do as you say and help me improve my cooking skills so I can rule the world!"
Generally speaking, if the gods and immortals were originally animals, they are often both demons and immortals. Dragons can be called demons and gods.
The big red lobster looked very proud, as if it had found a backer.
What he didn't notice was that Ji Xing's face opposite him gradually darkened and his brows became more and more furrowed.
He immediately swung his sleeves, his voice mixed with anger: "Haha, we dragons are the dragons. When did we become the monsters? You really know how to flatter your monsters! Do you believe I will beat you up right now?"
Lobster Spirit: “!!!”
He was yelled at and was so frightened that he lost his mind and begged, trembling, "You are not a monster, absolutely not, I am the monster! My whole family is monsters!"
Damn it, this dragon doesn't even admit that he's a monster!
Because the lobster spirits were too inexperienced, they didn't know the nature of the dragons. They were physically strong and domineering by nature, forming their own faction, with various dragons dominating the universe. For example, one of the gods of creation was Zhulong, and the Jade Emperor was also a dragon.
In the eyes of dragons, they are just dragons and have nothing to do with monsters.
An Rugu frowned slightly when he saw that he was still trying to win over Ji Xing and hoped that Ji Xing would join the demon clan. This lobster monster was really not a demon that would stay calm.
Of course, if they were content, they would not kill each other and try to dominate the world.
She put the yellow talisman she had just torn off back on her head and glanced at him coldly: "You are such a thief with such a heart."
The fiery red lobster realized that it was frozen again and felt regretful.
He was a very capable monster after all, but he was rendered unable to move by a talisman. He had never seen a Taoist priest so powerful in talismans.
This Taoist priest who exorcises demons will not kill himself next, right?
Now only Ji Xing, who is also a non-human, can save him!
He ignored the quarrel he had just had with Ji Xing and pleaded as if grasping at the last straw: "Lord Dragon God, you are not a demon, but the dragon clan is a water clan, and I am also a water clan. This Taoist wants to kill the water clan!"
"As long as you save me, I will work like a slave for you. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."
"By the way, you want the secret recipe for crayfish. I've only taught you the spicy one now, but I also have garlic, steamed, and spiced ones... I can give them all to you, as long as you save me!"
Ji Xing blinked when he heard that and turned his head to look at the person opposite him.
An Rugu nodded slightly at him.
She hadn't intended to kill monsters at random to avoid losing merit, and it just so happened that Ji Xing wanted the recipe.
It would be better for Ji Xing to be a good guy and get the recipe out of this cunning lobster.
Ji Xing then said with a serious face: "Don't you see who I am? I am the Dragon God, and she listens to me very much. Do I need to go through so much trouble to save you? I only need one word, and she will let you go."
The lobster spirit opened his eyes slightly and blurted out: "You are so powerful, Lord Dragon God!"
Look at his domineering appearance, he is indeed the omnipotent dragon god who can go to heaven and earth, and all humans must submit to him.
Taoist priests are no exception!
As a result, An Rugu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and looked at the person opposite him with a gaze that seemed to be real: "...I listen to you very much?"
Ji Xing's eyes seemed to be burned. He avoided her gaze and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment: "... I mean that you are easy to communicate with and not the kind of person who is stubborn. I don't mean anything else."
He just wanted to show off in front of outsiders, but she actually exposed him.
Really.
He looked like a timid little pig with his head lowered and his eyes submissive.
An Rugu was slightly satisfied. She nodded slightly and tore off the yellow talisman on his head.
Lobster Spirit: “…”
He couldn't help but feel a little confused. This was different from the domineering Dragon God he had imagined...
An Rugu looked at the lobster spirit, thinking: "So your master is also a spirit?"
This lobster spirit wanted to make humans captives of delicious food and then rule the world. He even took the initiative to win over Ji Xing, who he believed was a monster. It was obvious that he did not trust humans and just wanted to form a group among monsters. According to her, several monsters she met also had their own plans.
It was hard for her not to suspect that there was a mastermind behind this, a manipulator working for the benefit of the demon race. As the saying goes, one's position determines one's mind, and this mastermind was most likely also a demon race.
The lobster spirit was a little afraid of her, and his desire to survive told him that he should tell her, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't tell you, even if you kill me."
His master taught them knowledge, helped them gain a foothold in human society, and led them to pursue great achievements. He was like their reborn parent.
Although the plan did not succeed and everyone did not become captives of the spicy crayfish, he believed that it was just because his cooking skills were not good enough!
Once he finds the best quality crayfish and perfects his cooking skills, everyone will become captives of spicy crayfish!
The master is the spiritual leader of these monsters. How could he betray the master?
Seeing his stubborn expression, An Rugu was suddenly dazed: "...That so-called master is so nice to you?"
"That's right!" The lobster spirit nodded heavily, looking like he would rather die than surrender: "You can kill me or chop me up as you like, but I won't tell anyone. Even if you blow me up today, I won't tell anyone."
Seeing this, Ji Xing was eager to give it a try, and his voice was full of threats: "I will ask you one more question, are you really not going to tell me? If you don't tell me, I will really blow you up."
This little crayfish is truly loyal to his master, but is also wary of An Rugu, the human, and refuses to say a single word.
But he particularly worshiped the dragon race, and was not at all vigilant when facing Ji Xing. Even though Ji Xing did not admit that he was a demon, he was still very respectful, and it was obvious that he worshiped the dragon race.
If Ji Xing asks him questions now, Xiaolongxia will definitely answer.
But the lobster spirit swallowed his saliva, his face full of fear, and then he turned his eyes to the limit with great effort, staring at the big pot of hot oil next to him, as if he was a prisoner waiting to be killed, and he was ready to die: "Put me in the oil pot!"
"Lord Dragon God, I taught you how to make spicy crayfish. Remember the steps I taught you. You must cook it the best and charm the guests."
"Although I am dead, I am still alive because I have contributed to the path of revival of the demon race that Master talked about!"
"I know you don't want to, but this is my last wish. Just consider it as payment for teaching you."
An Rugu: “…”
My goodness, if someone who didn't know walked in, they would think they had walked into a pyramid scheme.
He has been so brainwashed.
This lobster spirit brainwashed those who had no similarities with him before, and was also brainwashed by his own master.
She became more and more curious about his so-called master.
Ji Xing was unwilling to give up, and was preparing to use reason, emotion, and if necessary, fists and feet to make the lobster spirit confess everything.
However, at this moment, An Rugu raised her hand and grabbed his clothes, slowly shaking her head: "No need."
"Ah, why? I don't believe he is so loyal to his master. Give me some time and I will make him tell me everything."
An Rugu was quite good at judging people. She lowered her voice and whispered in his ear, "I think he is determined to die. If you really force him, he will probably jump in like those crayfish and get nothing. Wait until you finish learning."
"Okay then." Ji Xing had no choice but to give up.
Seeing that the two of them did not continue to question him, the crayfish felt a little relieved and finally decided not to jump into the frying pan.
At this time, the waiter's anxious voice came from outside: "Boss, when will the lobster be ready? The guests are waiting so anxiously."
"It will be ready soon!" the lobster monster shouted loudly, and then he smiled and respectfully saw the guests off: "My lords, I am still frying lobsters, and the guests outside are still waiting."
"Wait until I finish cooking this pot of rice, then we can talk again, okay?"
He also plans to improve his cooking skills and make everyone a captive of spicy crayfish!
Ji Xing noticed his intention and was thoughtful.
An Rugu was obviously concerned about the mastermind behind this monster. If this monster was recruited, wouldn't the mastermind behind the scenes be revealed?
He then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Okay."
"But I have to tell you something. If you want to rule the world by improving your cooking skills, have you ever thought about how many years it will take?"
The lobster spirit calculated for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He was a little confused: "If you practice more, you should be able to figure it out."
Ji Xing waved his hands, looking calm and composed. "I'm telling you, studying blindly is not enough, and working in isolation is also not enough. As the saying goes, there must be a teacher among three people. You must learn advanced skills from your teacher so that you can make food that better suits the appetite of customers and capture more people's stomachs."
"My cooking skills are super good. If you follow me and learn to cook, your skills will definitely improve by leaps and bounds."
The lobster spirit was immediately envious, but then he changed his mind and became a little frightened: "You and this Taoist priest..."
What if the Taoist priest is in a bad mood and kills him?
Seeing his expression soften, Ji Xing said with a smile, "No, she doesn't have that intention at the moment. And she has many great chefs under her, some of whom specialize in seafood. Their skills are amazing, only slightly worse than a genius chef like me. If you learn cooking from us, your skills will definitely capture the world in the future."
The lobster's mind was trembling. On one side was the Taoist's threat of death, and on the other side was the demon clan's hope of ruling the world.
The balance in his heart kept swinging, and finally leaned towards the latter.
In order to revive the demon race, he must improve his cooking skills, even if it means death!
After closing today, the lobster spirit excitedly told his customers that he was going to study for a while, so the shop was temporarily closed.
The guests were extremely anxious. The crayfish here were so delicious, and they hadn’t even had them for a few days, but the owner was running away!
They repeatedly asked the boss where he was going to study, and finally got the address of Izumo Restaurant from him, so they made up their minds to go to the restaurant to eat crayfish.
An Rugu and Ji Xing came as two people, and left as three people, carrying with them a large pile of uncooked crayfish.
An Rugu took the lobster monster to the Izumo Restaurant and asked the waiter there to accommodate him, and then left him alone.
Then he came to the temple of Izumo-kan and lit three incense sticks. The smoke rose up and filled the air.
She stared at the smoke in the air in a trance.
After Ji Xing had fooled the lobster spirit, he came back very proudly, muttering as he walked: "His master is really talented, relying on delicious food to capture the world, it would be impossible to do it without drugs. This lobster spirit has been training here for a thousand years, but it probably won't be able to revive the demon race."
"Wait, that's not right. Eating too many crayfish will make you fat, and then someone will die of obesity. Then the demon race will be revived, hahaha. His master is really amazing!"
After he finished speaking, he looked up at An Rugu, only to see her staring at the incense burner under the statue with a look of concentration.
He opened his eyes slightly, noticing that her condition was a little unusual, and walked over to her, his voice mixed with barely perceptible concern: "What's wrong? Did the lobster upset you?"
"No." An Rugu looked far away, as if he could see the master's appearance through the smoke, and suddenly said: "He is so loyal to the master, which is great."
She suddenly thought of her master.
In fact, not only these monsters have masters, she also has a master. The master raised her and was like a teacher and a father to her.
But her master is dead, and currently has no plans to come find her.
Today is obviously her birthday.
Ji Xing seemed to understand, and noticed that she was a little depressed. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only poke her arm and said, "Didn't your master leave you a lot of things? Seeing things reminds you of him, which is also good."
"……Um."
Ji Xing tried to change the subject: "By the way, didn't you say that your Chuyun Temple has five great magic weapons? The Soul Binding Bottle, the Heart-Searching Peach Wood Sword, and the Returning Origin Cauldron. I've seen three of them. What are the other two?"
"For me, there are only four, because my master only gave me four, and I don't know what the remaining one is."
"What's the fourth one? Why haven't I seen you use it before?"
Whenever An Rugu went out on a mission, he would carry a soul-binding bottle and a peach wood sword.
"I brought it, but you didn't see it." An Rugu lowered her head slightly, pulled the red rope around her neck, and held up the thing at the end with her palm.
I saw a black feather in the white jade-like palm. The black was as dark as ink. After staring at it for a long time, I felt a little trance, as if I could see the brilliance of five colors flowing in it, which was a bit fascinating.
Ji Xing looked left and right but didn't notice anything magical about it: "What's the use of this feather?"
"The master didn't tell me how to use it, he just told me that I would know when the time comes."
She also tried some ways to urge it, but there was no movement, as if it was just an ordinary feather.
"Tsk, you're just being mysterious." He lost interest. After all, he was a god and had seen all kinds of powerful creatures. He looked away with disinterest: "I hate birds the most. I won't watch them anymore."
"…You hate birds the most?"
"Yes, our Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan have disliked each other for generations. There was even a fight between the Dragon and Phoenix, with rivers of blood flowing and a life-and-death struggle."
"I don't really feel anything about these things, but I don't like birds either. These feathered creatures are annoying. They shed their feathers every day and like to squeak. They fly in the sky every day and look so cool. Who do they think can't fly?"
"Besides, how can it be better than having scales? Feathers are not as comfortable as scales."
He enumerated the annoying things about the bird tribe, and said with some pride: "But humans seem to like phoenixes as much as they like dragons. Fortunately, I woke up early and decided on the position of the national treasure. Otherwise, it would be bad if they took it."
An Rugu: "..."
Except for him, perhaps no one cares about these false names.
She was originally feeling a little down, but after being interrupted, she relaxed and looked at him quietly with a smile on her face.
The next day, a young woman was walking on the avenue.
She pulled down the brim of her hat, her face was shrouded in shadow, and I couldn't see her features clearly. I could only guess from her clear jawline and white chin that she must be good-looking.
She went to the lobster restaurant as usual, but saw a notice hanging on the lobster restaurant.
"The owner is out for further studies. He will open the shop on a later date and his return date is uncertain!"
The young woman had never encountered such a situation before. She frowned and took out her cell phone to make a call.
When the call was connected, before she could say anything, the lobster demon's hurried voice came from the other end. The background was very noisy, with occasional collision sounds.
"Don't call me! I'm busy learning how to cook!"
The young woman snorted coldly when she heard this: "Didn't the master ask you to run this store well and attract more customers? Why are you running around?"
The lobster demon looked around, walked to the corner of the kitchen, lowered his voice, and sighed: "My cooking skills are good, but not top-notch. I am learning cooking from a group of chefs now. They do have some skills and cook fancy dishes."
"Once I have mastered my cooking skills, I will go back and open a shop!"
The young woman was a little dissatisfied: "The chef loves the crayfish you cook the most. He always finishes it. Are you questioning the chef's taste?"
The lobster demon quickly waved his hands and said, "But I met a human yesterday. I put a bowl of crayfish in front of her, but she didn't even look at it. She doesn't like spicy crayfish as much as Master does."
"My goal now is to make the most delicious crayfish to win her over and make her fall in love with eating crayfish! She will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't eat it for a meal! This way I can control her very well."
“As long as I complete the goal, it means I have become a master.”
Young woman: “…”
To be fair, the crayfish cooked by the lobster spirit tastes good. For those who are captured, I don’t know whether it is a punishment or a reward.
"But the master didn't ask you to have these thoughts. You are too disloyal to the master."
The lobster spirit felt that something was wrong and directly retorted: "But the master's will is for me to strive for excellence in food, and I am also meeting the master's expectations. What's wrong with that? If I am lazy, I will be disloyal to the master. Do you want me to be lazy and steal my credit?"
Young woman: "..."
"You... forget it, I don't want to care about you anymore."
This lobster is too loyal to his master, but his methods are too stubborn.
"Okay! I got it!"
"By the way, your shop is closed, and it's inconvenient for me to buy things. Where are you now? I have to deliver the crayfish to the master. The master will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't eat your crayfish for a day."
The lobster spirit was a little hesitant when he heard this: "...This."
The young woman frowned and said unhappily, "Where are you? Is there anything you can't say?"
"It's not that I can't tell you, I'm just afraid you won't dare to come. I'm currently learning cooking in a restaurant run by a Taoist priest."
Taoist priest?
The young woman's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little panicked for no reason.
She served the master and knew much more than other ordinary monsters. The master's capable men, a fox spirit that could suck away people's essence and a koi monster that could suck away people's luck, were both killed by the Taoist priest.
During this period, she reported the death every day: "Master, it's bad, the vixen was captured by the Taoist priest."
"Master, it's bad. The Koi Monster has also been captured by the Taoist priest."
"Master, this is bad. The rabbit spirit has also been captured by the Taoist priest... Well, if the rabbit spirit has been captured, then let it be captured. It's useless anyway."
The master was so angry recently that he ate several tons of crayfish before he calmed down.
The young woman was also very angry and wanted to avenge her master, but the master held her back and told her to calm down and wait and see what would happen, so she did not go looking for trouble.
Hearing the word "Taoist" again, the young woman was a little PTSD: "What's the name of the Taoist priest? Where is he?"
The lobster spirit with the latest cooking skills was a little confused and could only tell the only information he knew: "This place is called Izumo Restaurant, and there seems to be a place called Izumo Temple nearby."
Young woman: “!!!!”
It's that Taoist priest again!
The lobster spirit was completely unaware of the urgency of the situation and found the short learning experience interesting. He said cheerfully, "I didn't expect the Taoist's restaurant to be so good and so crowded. There are more people than the restaurant I opened. The number of people eating the crayfish I cooked has doubled. I really got a bargain this time. I didn't spend a penny, but I got customers and learned the craft."
The young woman was so angry that her face turned pale and blue: "You got a bargain? This Taoist priest obviously imprisoned you!"
"What imprisonment? No." The lobster spirit was a little confused. After thinking for a while, he said suspiciously, "You don't want to come here to learn cooking and let humans become prisoners of food, do you? Let me tell you, the master specifically asked me to take this road, not you."
"Don't you have your own way? Why do you have to steal mine? Don't fight with me!"
The master gave these monsters a clear division of labor and pointed out the way for them. For example, the koi monster absorbs luck, the fox spirit absorbs essence, and he takes the path of seducing people with delicious food. Each monster takes a different path.
The master said that if the demon race gains luck and revive in the future, they might be able to consider becoming immortals through their own paths.
He is already the future Gourmet Fairy, there can't be a first one!
The young woman snorted coldly, "Tsk, who doesn't have the Tao? The master has also pointed it out to me, I don't care about yours."
The lobster spirit is now enjoying learning how to cook, and always feels that the other party has bad intentions: "So what do you want to do?"
The young woman sensed his hidden meaning and immediately flew into a rage: "Haha, then just stay there, don't let the Taoist priest kill you with a yellow talisman."
Before the other party could speak, she hung up the phone.
Then, I called the master.
When the call was connected, the man's soft voice came from the other end. His voice was far away, as if it came from the sky: "What's wrong?"
The young woman bit her lip, angry and anxious: "Master, this is bad, the lobster spirit you sent out has been captured by the Taoist priest again."
The man, who was originally calm and composed, showed a rare change in his voice: "What! That Taoist priest again?"
"That's right." The young woman sighed, "She caught the lobster spirit and closed the store. I can't take the spicy crayfish back. The most important thing is that the lobster seemed to have been brainwashed by her. It only wanted to learn cooking and refused to come back."
"Master, you let the lobster spirit follow the path of food, but the Taoist priest took advantage of it and took advantage of him. How cunning."
There was a long pause before a sound was finally heard.
The man was a little annoyed: "Good...very good, it's her again."
"I haven't planned to cause trouble to her, but she has been my enemy every time. Well, go and see how capable she is."
The young woman seemed to be choked when she heard this, and her anger dissipated. She paused, raised her hands to cover her cheeks, and stammered: "But Master... I haven't found what I want yet, and I don't want to show it to others."
"I'll give you three days to find it quickly. You can't delay any longer."
The young woman hesitated again and declined, "But I've only heard about her from other monsters. I don't know what she looks like."
"Why don't you just ask those little monsters to send you her photo and address?"
The young woman was still hesitant. "But she and the people in the Special Management Bureau are not easy to deal with. The Koi Fairy and the Fox Fairy have some abilities, but they were powerless to resist. If I go, I don't know if I can come back."
The man thought about it, and said meaningfully: "Your ability is different from theirs. With the protection of your master, no one can discover your identity as a monster."
"Don't worry, Master is supporting you from behind. And Master is about to contact other people who can help our demon tribe. You have strong backing as well."
The young woman's mind moved slightly, and the balance in her heart began to sway.
The man continued, "Think about it, in the ancient times, our demon race was very powerful. Our demon race's ancestors Nuwa, Kunpeng and others dominated the world, and were very majestic."
"But in the end, they were suppressed by the Heavenly Court, and then surpassed by the human race. As the spiritual energy became thinner and thinner, the monsters became fewer and fewer, and their abilities became weaker and weaker, and eventually they fell to the bottom of the Three Realms."
"Things are different now. The demon race is feared and disliked by ordinary humans, and hunted by special humans. They survive in the cracks, and their living space is getting smaller and smaller. It's time for them to survive."
"Fortunately, the heavenly law has collapsed, the spiritual energy is thin, and only one in ten gods in heaven and hell remain. The shackles on the demon race have been minimized. This is the best opportunity in a thousand years. If you miss it, there will be no next time."
"Compared to Nuwa Kunpeng and the others, you are indeed a little inferior, but if you can seize the opportunity and revive the demon race, why can't you become the ancestor of the modern demon race?"
Young woman: “!!!!”
She was aroused by the man's words.
After all, what monster has not heard of the legends about the monster ancestors Nuwa, Kunpeng, Di Jun and others?
Just as humans worship Yanhuang, Yao, Shun, Yu and others, they also regard these demon ancestors as eternal gods.
As long as he can revive the demon race and save the world from collapse, can she also become the ancestor of the new era? !
"I know! I'll find the right time now!"
In addition to fortune-telling online, An Rugu also offers spots offline.
As per custom, I told fortunes for the friends who came from afar on this day.
At this time, a woman stumbled in. After seeing her, she immediately took off her mask, raised her head, and revealed a beautiful face.
An Rugu paused. This person looked familiar. If she remembered correctly, he seemed to be a TV star. She didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry and rarely watched TV series. She only saw celebrity advertisements on the street occasionally. The ones she could remember were almost all famous stars.
The woman panicked and said: "It's over, anchor, I've encountered a ghost, and the ghost wants to take away my face."
