Chapter 202 Both Sides Suffer Losses
In the following days, before Su Yao's companions arrived, she stayed with the group for the time being.
With Su Yu vouching for her, the other demons reluctantly lowered their guard against Su Yao.
Most of the human prisoners were taken back and imprisoned by the demons of the Demon Palace, to be used as hostages when negotiating with the Spirit Realm in the future.
It seems that Yuan Jin also found out the whereabouts of the skeleton from Ying Lang, and before leaving the Poisonous Gas Forest, he led several demons to retrieve the skeleton.
The other skeletons that Ying Lang was carrying were also transferred to other demons.
On this day, Feng Huaijin and Su Yao went to have a private "exchange," probably to find a place to fight.
It was lunchtime, and the two demons from the Mo Hai Mercenary Group were cooking a big pot of food together. Su Yu, itching to cook, picked out a pre-prepared prey from the ingredients and grilled it herself.
Fortunately, although Feng Huaijin has taken over all the cooking duties for many years, Su Yu's barbecue skills have not deteriorated.
The aroma of meat slowly wafted from the crackling campfire.
Su Yu found herself surrounded by a group of demons.
Fang Fang squatted down with her knees drawn up, staring at the roasted meat with a calm and collected expression, but her eyes were full of shock: "Senior Brother, you can cook."
Su Yu paused for a moment, then nodded politely: "I only know how to barbecue."
Anyway, he's forgotten how to cook a proper meal.
Sang Tiao: "Is it ready? Can we eat now?"
Su Yu: "It's not ready yet, you can't eat it."
Yuan Wu: "Brother Su, wanna share the barbecue?"
The four mercenary group members who were squatting next to Su Yu with their leader looked up expectantly; they were all the youngest members of the group.
Su Yu: "...Divide."
Sang Tiao glanced at the potential rivals vying for the food, then suddenly asked Yuan Wu, "Brother Yuan, where's your sister? Aren't you going to check on her?"
“She, she…” Yuan Wu’s smile froze slightly. Yuan Jin’s appearances had decreased significantly in the past few days, and she spent all her rest time in the monster vehicle.
It was the monster-themed vehicle that imprisoned Ying Lang.
It seems that Yuan Jin is engaging in imprisonment.
The last time he passed by, he vaguely heard the word "Lord," which seemed to be the voice of his former good brother, Ying Lang.
From then on, Yuanwu avoided this monster-themed vehicle.
His sister seemed to be playing a bit too complicatedly, and he was scared.
Yuan Wu tried to remain calm and carefully chose his words: "She is, cough, punishing prisoners, so I shouldn't disturb her."
Sang Tiao gave a meaningful "oh," letting him off the hook for the time being, her gaze lingering on the four young men in the mercenary group.
Su Yu only grilled a little because she was in the mood; she would never increase the amount just because she wanted more. In fact, she would definitely save some for Feng Huaijin and Su Yao.
So if you want to eat more, you have to eliminate competitors.
Yuanwu pretended not to see the group members' pleading looks.
Two of the demons couldn't hold out and withdrew, deciding to steal the flesh of the two brothers who remained later.
Su Yu calmly grilled the meat, oblivious to the undercurrents around her.
Once the meat was ready, he divided it into portions for himself, Su Yao, and Feng Huaijin, leaving the rest to them to handle.
It's lunchtime; it's time to call the kids back for dinner.
Su Yu silently walked towards the perimeter of the camp, while simultaneously contacting Ding Yilian and sending a message to Su Yao via the sound transmission stone.
I dared not miss either of them.
Otherwise, he'll be the one with a headache.
Feng Huaijin, who was a hundred miles away, paused in his actions as he received the message.
The silver chain around his neck seemed to be drawn by something, briefly and slowly wriggling and caressing his skin for a moment.
The silver chain suddenly felt cool during this time, the icy touch stimulating the skin on Feng Huaijin's neck, which was slightly feverish from the battle, and quickly calmed him down.
But I still feel a bit hot.
Because it looked as if Su Yu was gently stroking it with her fingertips.
Feng Huaijin swallowed silently, then turned sideways to parry Su Yao's sudden attack with his sword, and said coldly, "I'm not fighting anymore."
His indifferent demeanor was indeed somewhat similar to Su Yu's when he didn't like to talk, which successfully made Su Yao waver for a moment, and then she disliked him even more, not to mention that she had just been really angry.
"You think you can just stop fighting like that?"
Feng Huaijin remained unmoved: "Brother is calling us back for dinner."
Su Yao's expression twisted for a moment: "You mean we are?"
Anyway, she didn't believe that this demon could let go of his grudges so quickly. Could it be that he really thought of her as his second brother?
Feng Huaijin remained expressionless: "Is there a problem? My brother also hopes that we can get along harmoniously."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then deliberately uttered two words: "Sister, sister."
Su Yao said expressionlessly, "Ugh."
Two words were enough to disgust both the demon and the human present.
Both sides suffered heavy losses, and no one survived.
Su Yao turned around and glanced at her communication stone to confirm the message. After confirming that the time was almost the same, she felt a little better. Then, without saying a word, she turned around and flew off on her sword towards the camp.
Feng Huaijin sneered and, relying on his high cultivation level, instantly surpassed the sword.
Inside the camp, Su Yu stood where she had sent the message, silently counting down.
His eyes seemed slightly vacant, his long hair fluttered in the wind, and his face was expressionless, as if he were a detached and aloof being.
But he knew he was waiting to serve food to his younger siblings.
The portions were already divided, three identical portions, and placed on plates. Su Yu used her demonic energy to make them float in mid-air, so she didn't have to carry them herself.
As expected, Feng Huaijin was the first to arrive. Su Yu held out her hand and offered him a portion, saying, "This is your portion, go and eat."
Feng Huaijin accepted the offer but didn't make any moves for the time being.
Su Yao arrived next, and Su Yu handed her her portion: "Here's yours, go eat."
Su Yao glanced at the portions for the three of them, and the roasted meat that was clearly different from the communal meal. She generously praised and thanked her brother for his cooking skills, and happily found a place to eat.
Oh, and I also want to take a picture of myself.
Seeing Su Yao walk away and skillfully blend into the group of demons to strike up a conversation, Su Yu turned around, looked at Feng Huaijin who was still standing there, and said with some helplessness, "Go eat, sit with me?"
“Okay, brother.” Feng Huaijin’s eyes immediately filled with smiles as he followed closely behind.
Lunchtime was peaceful and harmonious.
At least because of Feng Huaijin's malicious competition, he and Su Yao were able to grit their teeth and act like ordinary siblings in front of Su Yu.
Su Yu was pleased, but he also knew that the protagonist and the villain were simply incompatible. It would be good enough if they could get along harmoniously; he didn't expect them to be loving and affectionate.
Let them fight in private; they can't escape the title of "family demons" anyway.
After lunch, there will be about an incense stick's time to rest before we set off again.
Before setting off, Su Yao's spirit world companions came looking for her, but they cautiously didn't show themselves, only telling Su Yao the address near the camp.
Before Su Yao left, she bid farewell to Su Yu, Feng Huaijin, and the other demons. Then Fang Fang came to find her again.
Su Yao asked with a smile, "Oh, it's Sister Fangfang. What's up?"
Fang Fang solemnly handed him a scroll and carefully instructed him: "This is what my second senior brother asked me to give you. It is the claim that the Demon Palace is making against the Spirit Realm. Just give it to the person in charge of your Spirit Realm. Be careful not to say too much about the rest, so as not to arouse suspicion from your people there."
Su Yao: "...Okay, Sister Fangfang."
Her brother definitely doesn't know about this.
She was referring to her older brother.
But there's nothing wrong with this; at most, it just saves the Demon Palace's diplomatic department some trouble.
Su Yao was too lazy to argue with Feng Huaijin, mainly because she was afraid that her brother would find out that she hadn't left the Demon Realm yet. So after putting the scroll into her storage ring, she went to meet up with her companions.
Su Yu's group was about to arrive at the entrance to the Demon Abyss, guided by the puppet.
