Chapter 1546 The Omniscient Demon King
"You can do anything I ask you to do?" Zhou Wen looked up and down at Liz and Lim and asked thoughtfully.
Liz and Lim both shuddered, their cheeks turning even redder, their bodies trembling slightly as they lowered their heads and said, "It is our honor to dedicate ourselves to the Demon Lord."
Before the two of them came, the city lord had already told them many things. It was precisely because of so many instructions that they had so many thoughts in their minds.
"The Demon King is the king of Paradise Lost. If we can bear his offspring, we will be able to break free from the confines of the human body and reach mythical status, able to contend with the gods and demons, rather than simply being their prey. Whether our race can take its destiny into its own hands in the future, this heavy responsibility falls upon you..."
Thinking of the city lord's heavy tone, Liz and Lim couldn't help but grit their teeth. Although they were still very scared, they still straightened their chests and cautiously showed their beautiful side to Zhou Wen.
"If I ask you to die, would you be willing?" Zhou Wen asked.
He can only use the Rubik's Cube to go back now, but it takes four people to enter the Rubik's Cube, and Zhou Wen needs three more people. Zhou Wen is worried that he can't find anyone.
After hearing this, Liz and Lim's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and they were extremely frightened: "The Demon King is an omniscient being. How can we deceive him with our plans?"
"Lord Demon King, we were wrong. It was all our fault. It has nothing to do with our people. If you want to punish us, punish us. Even if it means taking our lives, it doesn't matter." Liz and Lim knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Where did you go wrong?" Zhou Wen asked.
"We shouldn't... shouldn't want... want..." Liz said want several times but still couldn't say it.
"What do you want?" Zhou Wen frowned and asked. He thought that the people in Buhui City wanted to murder him secretly.
Zhou Wen was obviously overthinking it. The people of No Regret City revered the Demon King as a god, so how could they dare to murder him?
"I shouldn't have thought of borrowing your seed, Demon Lord..." Lim said through gritted teeth.
Fortunately, Zhou Wen did not drink the water, otherwise he would have choked to death. He stared at Liz and Lim who were kneeling in front of him with wide eyes, and could not believe his ears.
Zhou Wen even thought he had misheard and wanted to ask them to say it again, but then he thought, it was impossible that he had heard it wrong, and saying it again would be useless and would only make himself more embarrassed.
"Since you know you are wrong, then tell me how I should punish you?" Zhou Wen asked in a deliberately cold voice.
"Please forgive our people, Lord Demon King. We are willing to commit suicide to apologize." Liz and Lim's faces were full of determination. They took out their daggers and wanted to end their lives.
"Did I say I wanted you to die?" Zhou Wen asked indifferently. Liz and Lim looked at Zhou Wen in surprise and doubt, not knowing what he meant.
Now they only felt that the Demon King was moody and it was impossible to think about his behavior with human thinking, and they felt more and more frightened and uneasy.
"From now on, your lives no longer belong to you." Zhou Wen looked at them and said.
"Yes, our lives belong to you, Lord Demon King." Liz and Lim immediately knelt down.
"Get up, prepare some food, and clean up the place." Zhou Wen kept them just to use them when he entered the Rubik's Cube in the future. He didn't need them for the time being.
However, Zhou Wen was very curious about what they were eating, so he decided to try it.
Liz and Lim felt as if they had been pardoned and left the cemetery with profuse gratitude.
They went back and told the city lord what had happened. The city lord and his men were so scared that they turned pale and almost wet their pants. They only calmed down a lot after hearing what happened.
"The Demon King is indeed omniscient. How could he not know my plan? I almost harmed all the people in the city... Fortunately, the Demon King gave us a chance... Lis and Lim... go prepare the best food in our city. No matter what, you must satisfy the Demon King..." After the old man finished speaking, he felt uneasy again, so he arranged the preparations himself, taking care of all the details. Finally, he handed the finished product to Lis and Lim and asked them to deliver the food to the cemetery.
Zhou Wen was clearing a dungeon when he saw each of them bring in a basin filled with clear water, in which were soaked a few crystal green leaves.
"Lord Demon King, please enjoy your meal." Liz and Lim knelt in front of Zhou Wen and raised two basins above their heads.
"Is this leaf delicious?" Zhou Wen was puzzled, but he still reached out and took a leaf, then put it in his mouth and took a bite.
After just one bite, Zhou Wen frowned. Although the leaves were not unpalatable, they were definitely not delicious either. They tasted almost the same as lettuce leaves on Earth.
Zhou Wen didn't like Western food, nor did he like eating raw vegetables. He looked at the two sisters and asked, "Is this what you usually eat?"
"Reporting to the Demon King, this is the precious emerald grass leaf, which is a rare and delicious food. It is rarely collected at ordinary times, and ordinary people cannot eat it. Only during celebrations and sacrifices will everyone be given a little bit..." Liz replied.
"So what do you usually eat?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"We usually eat the roots of stoneweed," Liz replied.
"Go get some stone grass roots." Zhou Wen really couldn't imagine that these lettuce-like leaves would be precious food in their mouths. How disgusting must the food they usually eat be.
The two sisters were terrified and thought that Zhou Wen was dissatisfied with their hospitality and wanted to beg for mercy.
Zhou Wen repeatedly told them that he did not blame them and asked them to go get the roots of the stone grass. Only then did they leave in doubt.
When they brought the roots of the stone grass, Zhou Wen took a look and found that they looked pretty good. The rhizome was jade white, as thick as a finger, and each section was quite beautiful.
But when Zhou Wen took a bite, he immediately felt a bitter juice flowing into his mouth.
"Is this thing for human consumption?" Zhou Wen was very suspicious. He thought the people in Buhui City were playing a trick on him. How could this thing, which was even more bitter than bitter melon, be the food they usually ate?
But after Zhou Wen used Di Ting to scan around, he realized that they were not lying to him. Most of the people in Buhui City who were eating were like this.
Looking at the two trembling sisters, Zhou Wen sighed inwardly: "These people in No Regret City are even more miserable than those on Earth."
On Earth, humans have been at the top of the food chain for thousands of years, at least they once enjoyed it. But these people in the other dimension are at the bottom of the food chain. Not to mention enjoying it, even eating meat is impossible. Any creature in the other dimension is mythical. Who can they kill?
"This is for you." Zhou Wen took out two loaves of bread and threw them to the sisters.
