Next, regarding food.
Why not just cut off the food's head and throw it at the Yu family? Because doing so would be too easy on them.
The gatekeeper ghouls carried the food to their rooms and invited everyone to come and eat. They ate slowly, bite by bite, listening to the screams of the food, which only made the ghouls eat more deliciously.
Like Yu Xiaoyu, who was rescued from the fire, she won't die so quickly, but will slowly die from the pain.
Nangong gently turned the pages of the book, her gaze softening as she looked at the new words. Her long black hair fell down, and she raised her hand to tuck a strand behind her ear, exuding an air of serene beauty.
In her fair hands was still the same book, "The Undying Loneliness," which read: "Ten years after Jones's death, I opened a tavern in his favorite town. The tavern had no name, and over time, the regulars called it the Nameless Tavern."
“I hired a waiter to help me with some of the work. He looks a lot like Jones and often reminds me of my gentle husband.”
"The tavern is open at night because I can't stand the damn sunlight. It's the price of immortality, and I can accept it."
"The waiter's name was John. He was a strong young man with short, curly, golden hair that looked quite playful. He was very tall and straight, but I didn't like the freckles on his face. I hate freckles. Jones, on the other hand, had a clean face and always had a smile on his face, like a clingy little dog."
She didn't know how many times Nangong had read this book. She loved it very much. If Yan Wuxie were here, she would definitely lean in his arms and tell him the wonderful yet ordinary stories in the book.
An Qiuxi's voice could be heard from outside the room.
"Master, I've made you some coffee."
"Oh, it's Xiaoxi. Come in."
An Qiuxi, dressed in a standard maid outfit, pushed open the door and entered, carrying a rectangular tray with a coffee pot and an exquisite coffee cup on it.
An Qiuxi placed the tray on the table, picked up the coffee pot, and poured Nangong a cup of hot, fragrant coffee. Nangong took the coffee, holding the saucer in one hand and the cup handle in the other, and took a small sip.
"The coffee brewed by Xiaoxi is getting better and better."
An Qiuxi was overjoyed to receive Nangong's praise, but she humbly replied...
"I still need to learn more from my master."
After finishing his coffee, Nangong handed the cup to An Qiuxi.
"Xiaoxi, go change into your pajamas. You'll sleep with me tonight."
This made An Qiuxi even happier. She nodded repeatedly and left the room with her things in her hands, her steps light and quick.
Nangong looked at the girl he had personally raised and smiled gently.
In terms of talent, An Qiuxi was rather poor. Nangong had taken her in since she was twelve years old and raised her like a granddaughter. After six years, An Qiuxi had barely reached the eighth level.
The bodies of juvenile ghouls continue to develop, but they will freeze once they reach adulthood. Nangong felt a great sense of accomplishment raising An Qiuxi from such a tiny creature to her current small size.
The eighth-tier bone spike corpse demon Chen Haonan, who was entrusted to the Left Protector for training, was very talented, but Nangong was indifferent to him. She preferred to focus on raising young girls, so this time, the eighth-tier bone spike corpse demon Yu Xiaoyu made Nangong extremely happy.
Yu Xiaoyu has great talent, and based on my many years of training experience, she quickly reached the ninth level.
However, the child seemed a bit indifferent, unlike his obedient little stream.
After changing into an adorable black kitten pajama set, An Qiuxi quickly returned to her room and snuggled into Nangong's arms, cuddling him affectionately.
Nangong felt ticklish from being rubbed and smiled as he stroked the fragrant girl's hair.
"The little stream that's being affectionate is so cute."
This made An Qiuxi, who had always been seen as a graceful and reliable maid by outsiders, blush.
Realizing she was being a bit childish, An Qiuxi tried to get out of Nangong's arms, but Nangong held her tightly in his embrace.
"Master~"
Nangong looked at the pitiful An Qiuxi in his arms, who looked like a little kitten.
"Go to sleep quietly. No matter how big Xiaoxi gets, she can always be spoiled by me."
An Qiuxi was shy but also very touched. Following her heart, she snuggled closer to Nangong and then fell asleep peacefully.
The corpse demons don't need to sleep, but they can sleep on their own and can sleep in the soft, fragrant arms of their masters, something An Qiuxi couldn't ask for more.
Just like when she was a child, she was timid and sensitive, but under the careful care of her owner, she slowly grew up happily. Nangong has become the most important person in An Qiuxi's life.
An Qiuxi would never disobey any of Nangong's orders.
Yu Xiaoyu returned to her room.
The interior of the abandoned ancient temple was completely renovated by the decorating ghouls, and the girl's room was also decorated according to her own wishes.
Now she is very grateful to Nangong for giving her greater power, a new home, and fulfilling her wishes. Yu Xiaoyu has become Nangong in her own right.
The girl removed her long, floor-length black robe and took off her strange black and white mask.
Beneath the black robe was her slender body. Nourished by blood and flesh, the girl's figure was no longer so thin, but rather a little chubby, and she began to look like a normal, healthy young girl. However, she was the same height as Tu Keke and had not grown any taller, so she looked quite small.
The girl had chubby cheeks, and her bright, ruby-like eyes looked at her naked reflection in the mirror. Her dainty little feet stepped over the black robe and walked toward the bathroom.
Yes, that's right, Yu Xiaoyu had no clothes underneath her black robe.
The girl in the vacuum turned on the hot water, and warm water poured down on her head.
Finally, I got my revenge...
But why are you unhappy?
Blood-red tears mixed with hot water flowed down, dripping into the drain. Her hands rested on the wall as she slowly knelt on the ground.
"grandmother……"
I've achieved my wish, but why can't I feel happy?
Despite having endured so much suffering, all that remains in my mind are beautiful memories of the past.
The pillar of her family, her gentle and virtuous mother, her lively and loving older brother, and her beloved, kind grandmother.
Why did everything change later?
Yu Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze becoming unusually firm.
I will never forgive...
Otherwise, what about the suffering my grandmother and I endured?!
The girl wiped away her tears and began to take a serious shower. After she finished, Yu Xiaoyu dried herself and walked out of the bathroom, steam pouring out as the door opened.
She picked up a hairdryer to dry her long hair, tidied herself up, and lay down on the bed, still completely naked, as if she had fallen in love with this feeling of being naked.
Yu Xiaoyu picked up the photo frame on the bedside table next to her. It had a picture of Tu Keke in a uniform on it.
The girl in the vacuum looked at the photo and unconsciously licked her lips.
"Coco, Coco, my Coco..."
Yu Xiaoyu gently placed a kiss on the photo.
What has sustained her all this time is her deep-seated love for Tu Keke. It was that girl, who was like an elven princess, who illuminated Yu Xiaoyu's dark heart like brilliant sunshine. Although it was brief, she has always remembered that warm feeling, and she wants to possess that ray of sunshine forever.
Her feelings gradually became strange.
