This day was absolutely the most humiliating moment in Taotie's life.
It was threatened by equally delicious food.
The man and the beast arrived at the West Gate, but the guards were still asleep.
Chu Xinxin grabbed the Taotie by the ear and said, "This is it, quickly help me eat it."
The Taotie stretched out its forepaw and touched the barrier. The demonic energy on it was extremely pure, exactly the same as that on the Demon Lord...
"Mmm..."
Taotie shook his head. The Demon Lord once said that nothing that has been tainted by his scent should be eaten!
Chu Xinxin tempted, "Take a bite, it's delicious, trust me."
This demonic energy is so pure; it must be a great tonic.
Taotie hesitated.
Chu Xinxin pressed on: "Let me tell you, life... no, life is about trying new things. You won't know how delicious it is until you've tasted it!"
I've never tried it...
Taotie suddenly remembered the white powder it had eaten last time, which had caused it to have diarrhea for three days and three nights.
What kind of weird barrier is this? I hope it won't be like this too!
Taotie shook its head and backed away, refusing to eat anything!
Chu Xinxin, taking advantage of the tiger's power, slapped it on the head and said, "Eat it if I tell you to!"
The Taotie reluctantly bit a small hole, just big enough for Chu Xinxin to crawl through.
Soon she would be free, so Chu Xinxin didn't care about anything else. She threw it back inside, told it to keep its mouth shut, and then ran away.
Nan Guangyu watched her crawl out like a puppy, feeling both angry and amused.
What's infuriating is that she actually dared to run away. Doesn't she know that there are many vicious and ruthless people in the demon race?
What's funny is that Chu Xinxin, who is supposed to be a goddess, is surprisingly unconcerned about her image.
Nan Guangyu originally planned to go back and bring her here tomorrow, but now that something unexpected has happened, he had no choice but to hurriedly give a few instructions to his men and go back to Shanghai to arrest her.
...
Chu Xinxin ran away from the Demon Palace, spent two energy points to disguise herself as an ordinary little demon, and slipped out as soon as the city gates opened.
Following the direction indicated by the system, head east.
Sister, the Demon Lord will surely find out you've escaped soon. Let's try to avoid main roads.
The system also changed Chu Xinxin's appearance.
[Your face is too eye-catching. You know what a demon is, right? A lustful demon, a lecherous demon, very terrifying!]
"What you said makes some sense."
Chu Xinxin used another energy to exchange for a bottle of Rejuvenating Pill.
After eating one, Chu Xinxin grew a pair of black, antler-like ears on her head, a pair of wings of the same color on her back, and a bewitching datura flower appeared between her brows...
Evil and holiness, two seemingly contradictory qualities, appear together on Chu Xinxin without any sense of incongruity.
It is even more alluring and seductive.
"Hmm... Sister, why don't you put on a veil?"
The system sighed, realizing that Chu Xinxin was indeed far too beautiful.
Then, a masked "female demon" with deer antlers and black wings appeared on the outskirts of Shanghai.
Chu Xinxin had previously seen demons in the Demon Palace that looked just like humans, but after leaving, she discovered that all demons actually looked so strange.
There are creatures with seven eyes, necks longer than giraffes, and even creatures like octopuses with round heads and several legs…
They come in all sorts of strange shapes and sizes.
It was so horrible that Chu Xinxin wanted to gouge out her own eyes.
Outside of Shanghai, the area is quite desolate, with frequent sandstorms and scarce water resources.
The climate and environment are extremely harsh.
It's quite amazing that such a beautiful and desolate place could produce someone as handsome as the Demon Lord.
Sister, there's a small tea stall about 800 meters away; you can rest there.
Chu Xinxin's feet were indeed sore from walking.
"System, why can't all gods in this world fly?"
This is the law of nature in this world: if your physical form is a bird or has wings, you can fly; if you don't, you can't.
System explanation.
"Don't I have wings now?"
【That's fake! Do you think wearing a halo on your head makes you an angel?!】
The system is so tiring.
Chu Xinxin wanted to ask more, but the system told her to shut up, saying there was a demon ahead.
Chu Xinxin had no choice but to shut her mouth in reluctance.
Waaah, the system is so mean.
After turning a corner, a shabby but tidy little tea stall appeared in front of Chu Xinxin.
There were several tables and chairs set up there, and someone was sitting at each table.
Chu Xinxin chose a demon who looked easy to get along with and sat down next to him.
What would you like to drink?
The tea stall owner was tall and burly, with a nose that looked like an ox. If his hair were a bit curlier, he'd probably look like the Bull Demon King.
Chu Xinxin casually ordered a pot of tea.
Tea was served, and Chu Xinxin took a cup; the liquid in the cup was viscous and black...
Is this tea? Are you kidding me?
Chu Xinxin looked at the male demon at the same table, who was also drinking this kind of tea, sipping it happily.
Noticing her gaze, the male demon said, "Drink it while it's hot; this tea is the best for quenching thirst."
Chu Xinxin chuckled, holding the tea but unable to drink it.
Even after resting enough, Chu Xinxin didn't get a single bite.
She put down her teacup and prepared to continue her journey.
She had just stood up when she remembered...
She didn't bring any money...
She left in such a hurry that she didn't bring any of the matchmaking money that others had given her.
She did have some divine coins on her, but wouldn't that be like exposing her own family's secrets?
"Um... Boss, can I return this pot of tea? Look, I haven't drunk a drop." Chu Xinxin's tone was calm, but her face was slightly red.
The tea stall owner immediately understood what was going on.
He exhaled two streams of hot air from his nasal nose, slammed his hand on the stove, and roared, "Are you playing me?"
The tea stall owner must have practiced qigong; when he shouted, everything in the tea stall shook.
Chu Xinxin pulled up the male demon sitting next to her: "He can testify for me, I really didn't drink it."
The male model was already terrified of the boss's power and dared not do anything.
"I don't know, I'm drinking my own tea, it's none of my business!" The male model said, putting down a few magic coins and turning to run away.
With the only witness gone, Chu Xinxin looked at her boss's strong and muscular physique and realized that if a fight broke out, she would probably be knocked down in the first round.
Chu Xinxin gave in and squatted behind the tea stall to wash the cups.
She worked tirelessly like a little bee, washing clothes all day long before the heartless boss finally let her go.
The first thing Chu Xinxin did after leaving the tea stall was to exchange energy for magic coins.
Sister, no...
"Why!"
It's just a few magic coins, isn't that a simple matter?
Chu Xinxin always believed that energy was omnipotent; if not, then it must be because there wasn't enough energy.
[Because I'm a righteous system, I can't create something that's clearly villainous...]
Chu Xinxin narrowed her eyes: "Sometimes, you don't need to be so firm in your stance."
Sister, I really can't do it.
"What about the Face-Changing Pill?"
[Don't be angry, I told you, that was just... a stimulant... medication.]
"Go to hell! I'm going to complain about you for being indecent!" Chu Xinxin was furious. She had been wondering why she felt strange after transforming!
Chu Xinxin: "How can you be so useless..."
The system's voice, trembling with tears, interrupted Chu Xinxin.
[Waaaaah, sister, you don't need to tell me, I can do it myself. I'm just a useless system, I'm trash, all I can do is mess with colors, I apologize...]
Chu Xinxin: ......
She not only had no money, but she also lost the right to curse.
Chu Xinxin shut up and went to think of a way to make money.
Otherwise, if she hadn't died at the hands of the Demon Lord but instead starved to death on her escape route, and if this got back to the main world, she would probably be laughed at to death.
She walked forward in deep thought, when suddenly a figure blocked her way.
Chu Xinxin moved a little to the right, and the figure moved to the right at the same time.
Chu Xinxin moved a little to the left, and the figure moved to the left at the same time.
This person did it on purpose!
Chu Xinxin looked up angrily, and a face so ugly that it would enrage gods, demons, monsters, and beasts appeared before her.
His eyes are crooked, his nose is crooked, and even his mouth is crooked.
The face was twisted and contorted, and Chu Xinxin felt an indescribable discomfort looking at it.
Especially when he speaks, his facial features look like a few worms, moving around.
Chu Xinxin felt a little nauseous.
He said, "Little witch, since you have no money, why don't you just submit to me?"
Chu Xinxin looked around; no one was there. Good.
She grabbed the ugly man by the collar and dragged him into the nearby woods.
The ugly man thought it was a done deal and followed him in without any resistance.
Then he was robbed and left penniless, and also got beaten up.
Chu Xinxin tossed the money bag in her hand, the sound of the magic coins clattering was truly delightful.
With the money, Chu Xinxin also bought a wolf as a means of transportation at a market.
The wolf is fast and can move as if it were flat ground even in the mountains and forests.
The only problem is finding something to eat.
The food of the demon race is not suitable for Chu Xinxin.
Only then did she realize that the food she ate in the Demon Palace must have been specially made.
Only the Demon Lord could issue such an order.
Chu Xinxin thought to herself, "This Demon Lord seems to be a pretty nice person."
"System, am I starving to death?"
[Sister, you can exchange energy points for a bottle of Bigu Pill. It only costs two energy points.]
"That's what the system said."
Chu Xinxin hesitated. She suddenly remembered what Shen Tianye had said at the end of the last world: he told her to try not to use energy.
She used over a dozen energy points in the Demon Palace; maybe we should think of another way...
"Gurgle—"
Chu Xinxin's stomach growled.
Forget about Shen Tianye for now, I need to eat!
"I want a bottle of fasting pills."
Chu Xinxin exchanged the money with tears in her eyes.
With money and wolves around, Chu Xinxin arrived smoothly at a small town closest to the border.
The Demon Lord probably already knew she had run away; she was even asked to remove her veil when she entered the city gate.
Aside from the addition of a datura flower, Chu Xinxin's face remained basically unchanged.
Chu Xinxin said to the little demon who was examining her, "Big brother, my face can't be exposed to wind and sunlight. If it is exposed to wind and sunlight, my face will rot. Please do me a favor."
"This is the Demon Lord's order..."
Chu Xinxin secretly slipped the remaining magic coins in her hand to him.
That's enough to weigh at least a hundred.
Little Demon immediately stuffed the magic coins into his pocket, then his eyes darted around, and no one noticed them.
He gave Chu Xinxin a look, and Chu Xinxin understood, so she slipped into the city.
......
"I'm betting we'll definitely fight this battle. The demons and gods have amassed over a million troops; it wouldn't be right not to fight."
In a gambling den, a powerful demon shrouded in black mist arrogantly placed all his demon coins on the word "hit".
“I don’t think it’s going to work,” a thin, small demon with a high-pitched voice contradicted. “I heard that the Demon Lord only wants the Kunlun Stone, and the gods have already transported it to the border.”
Is this true?
“Of course it’s true. I heard it myself from the soldiers who came to the city to drink.”
"I won't buy it either."
"I'll have some too..."
The little demons were huddled together and didn't notice a female demon shrouded in a black gauze dress sneaking away.
This figure was none other than Chu Xinxin.
After entering the city, Chu Xinxin wandered around gathering information and learned that the roads back to the God Clan had been blocked by the Demon Clan, and that some little-known paths were controlled by local tyrants.
It's not impossible to leave, it just depends on how much money you're willing to pay.
Chu Xinxin sold the demon wolf, but the money would only last her two days in the city, let alone cover tolls.
"Sigh, I struggle to make a living every day in the main world, and even after being bound to a system in a small world, I'm still troubled by money."
Chu Xinxin lay on the bed in the inn and wailed, "System, I think you should create a 'Most Miserable Host Ranking,' and I'll definitely be at the top of the list."
[Haha, haha, sister... okay, it's my fault, I'll make a suggestion to headquarters right away.]
"Can we really offer this?" Chu Xinxin sat up in bed. "Could the top three, no, the top ten, receive 100 million magic coins?"
