Want my demon pill?
Cong Mo put the snake back into his sleeve, turned around, picked up the two cups of tea he had just poured, and handed one of them to the Taoist priest.
"drink."
The porcelain cup was about to be pressed against his lips, with obvious coercion. The Taoist couldn't hold back his smile. If they were to fight, no one in this world could stand up to Cong Mo. He couldn't face it bluntly. If he didn't drink it, he would probably be forced to drink the tea. He took a step back, but reached forward to grab the cup in Cong Mo's hand, "I'll drink the demon master's. They're both the same, so why not?"
Cong Mo pretended to be embarrassed, "This..."
"Could it be that Master Cong Yao poisoned my cup?"
"How could that be..." Cong Mo said with an awkward smile, and could only take the cup from him, "I'll drink it."
The porcelain cups collided with each other, making a slight clinking sound.
Neither of them dared to close their eyes, staring at each other as they drank up all the tea in the cup, and then showed the empty bottom of the cup to each other.
"It's not poisonous."
"Of course I believe in the demon master."
Cong Mo took the cup from his hand, placed it on the table, and said goodbye, "Then I'll be leaving first. I have important matters to attend to in the camp."
The Taoist priest wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I won't see you off."
"Goodbye." Cong Mo bowed slightly, closed the door, set up a barrier at the entrance, and shouted into the room, "Reciting the Buddha's name requires a calm mind. I will help the Taoist priest set up the barrier for an hour or two. Don't thank me."
Without even listening to his answer, she left without looking back.
A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He took out a pill from his chest and put it into his mouth. Then he rolled up the paper snake in his sleeve and threw it into the grass beside him.
"madness."
At this moment, the Taoist priest in the house was burning all over and sweating profusely, but he couldn't get out. The heat in his body and the peace in his heart were in conflict. Looking at the Buddha who was high above and had a kind face, he could only recite Buddhist scriptures silently.
"Amitabha, Amitabha, it's all the fault of that villain Cong Mo, Buddha, please don't blame me, Buddha, please don't blame me..."
"Damn cat, why did you have to dig two tunnels underground!"
Cong Mo bought half a roast chicken today, and Leng Can's eyes lit up when he saw it.
"Snakes like to eat raw meat, but cooked meat should also be edible. Since you are in human form now, I am not sure what you like to eat, so I only bought half a roast chicken."
"How do you know I like to eat this? Did you remember something?"
"Should I remember something?" Cong Mo was puzzled. "I just bought it when I saw it on the road."
"Forget it." Leng Can hadn't eaten this for a long time. He swallowed his saliva, gave the chicken legs to Cong Mo, the chicken wings to Xi, and then took the rest and started to eat it.
Cang: "..."
Cong Mo: “…”
"He likes it so much?"
He looked at the pitiful chicken wings with little meat in front of him and said, "I don't like it."
Cong Mo pushed the chicken leg in front of him and asked, "Do ducks eat meat too?"
He couldn't control himself and glanced at her sideways. When Leng Can's eyes were full of chicken and he didn't pay attention to them, he took the chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
Cong Mo unconsciously moved to the side, a little further away from them.
I should buy two next time. Also, it’s a good thing she has never bought roast duck from the mansion before.
After eating and drinking, Cong Mo told the two of them about her visit to the Taoist priest today.
Leng Can leaned on her right shoulder and burped, while Xi leaned on her left shoulder and ate some snacks. They both drank some fruit wine and felt a little dizzy.
"Does he want to catch my brother? Why?" Cong Mo knew their identity as monsters, so he no longer needed to hide his tail. He swung his short, flat tail behind him, expressing his incomprehension.
"Maybe it's because his species is rare." Cong Mo sipped his tea. "Snakes are rare to begin with, and his color is a rare dark green."
Leng Can asked, "He wants to support me?"
"That's impossible. Maybe he wants your skin or your demon pill." Cong Mo said calmly, "Those crazy people who study the demon path always think they can ascend to immortality with the demon pill."
"Brother's demon pill? Impossible." Xi said, "We are just newly cultivated little demons. We don't even know how to use demon magic. How can we talk about a demon pill?"
Leng Can nodded vigorously, "Although it sounds harsh, I agree."
"The demon pill is what the demon carries with it after it transforms into a human form. He can dig it out and use his magic power to carefully nurture it. He doesn't need the snake body." Cong Mo couldn't explain it to them and pushed them to sit up. "Rest early. We will discuss this matter later. But you two should not leave the mansion again. If you need anything, just let me or the housekeeper know."
"good."
"good."
The two agreed very readily. They had no ability and naturally could not do anything to hinder the team. However, before they could enjoy a few days of peace, trouble came to them again.
"An elderly man is at the door, saying he's looking for you two." Li Niang came to report.
"No." Leng Can had recovered to full health and was studying new delicacies with He Zheng, so he refused outright.
Li Niang didn't expect them to be so decisive, "This..."
"The demon master forbids us from meeting people we don't know." Leng Can, not very good at preparing a whole chicken, hurriedly called out to her, "Mother Li, come and help me. How can I remove all this hair?"
This is Li Niang's specialty. She rolled up her sleeves and walked over confidently, "Okay, give me the chicken."
So no one remembers the old man squatting at the door, scorched by the sun.
“Don’t you need to remove the fishy smell in advance?”
"No need. After marinating, put the glutinous rice directly in and steam it over high heat for a while. The glutinous rice will stick to your teeth, so steaming it for a while will make it softer, more sticky and sweeter."
"Mother Li, what did you do originally? How could you have such skills?"
"My father originally owned a shop. I was young at the time, but I learned a lot just by watching from the sidelines." Li Niang looked a little dejected when she spoke of this. "I accidentally offended a customer, which led to the shop being closed and my parents being killed. It was Master Cong Yao who took me in, otherwise I would still be homeless."
"What kind of guest is so excessive?" Li Niang complained. She handled the chicken neatly and neatly without any fear. She added seasoning and washed rice with ease. Even her face was filled with excitement. She must have loved food, but it had ruined her good cooking skills.
"It's the original demon master." Li Niang was filled with pride. "Although Demon Master Cong appears cold on the outside, she's actually very warm-hearted. She remembers everything we say and will find the most opportune moment to help us. After she replaced the demon master, she offended too many people and was paraded through the streets and thrown into prison."
Leng Can continued, "Xiao Mo is a very good person. She just doesn't like to talk much and only talks about what she did. But in fact, she did the most and cared the most about us."
"Yes." Li Niang patted his shoulder. "Mr. Leng, you are the first man that the Demon Master brought home... er... no, er, the first time that the Demon Master has made him laugh so many times. I hope you cherish him."
After saying this, she felt like laughing.
Leng Can: “…”
She glanced at him, covered her mouth and turned away.
Li Niang hurriedly explained, "Young Master, you've misunderstood. Injuries are common when catching monsters. Monster masters will bring injured monsters or humans back for treatment. As for you, I can see that she truly loves you."
"That's more like it." Leng Can curled his lips, "From now on, when I'm here, I can help her save people."
"Yes." Li held his shoulders and his expression returned to seriousness. "Me too, we should be together..."
"Is there anyone here?"
A hoarse voice interrupted him, and the three of them pricked up their ears, looking for the direction of the sound.
He twitched his ears, "It seems to be coming from... outside the mansion."
The three of them then remembered that there seemed to be someone waiting for them at the door.
"Let's go out with you. We'll have to wait for a while for the chicken." After leaving her alone for a long time, they felt a little embarrassed to not see her again, so Leng Can and Xi followed Li Niang out.
When I opened the door, I saw an old lady with her mouth open, howling.
"Cat...Grandma..." Leng Can changed the tone urgently, "Why are you here?"
The cat lady who had transformed into a human form had never been so eager to see them before. She almost cried, "Why are you here just now?"
He replied, "I never thought it was you. You didn't tell us your name."
"Then why don't you come out and see who it is?"
Leng Can continued to reply, "We don't want to meet strangers."
Grandma Cat: “…”
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her anger had been half gone. She raised her eyes and signaled them to let Li Niang leave.
Li Niang didn't know that three of the four people present were demons, and she couldn't know about their conversation. Leng Can smiled at her and said, "This is my grandmother from my hometown. Let's talk to her. Li Niang, you go back and keep an eye on □□ first."
Li Niang was a little worried, "Then hurry up."
"no problem."
After Li Niang left, the two men looked outside the mansion and pulled her in.
"What are you doing here?" Leng Can asked.
"I'm here to bring you some medicine. I figured you should have almost finished the box." Grandma Cat placed the medicine box in his hands. "Medicine always comes with side effects. If you take too much, or don't take it consistently, you might not even be able to maintain your half-human, half-demon form when you return to your original form. It might also damage your cultivation. If you hadn't insisted on using it, I wouldn't have given it to you."
"Thank you." Leng Can took it without much hesitation and wanted to put the medicine box back into his sleeve.
He and Li had been talking to Cong Mo about worldly matters these days. Although Cong Mo was still a bit confused, he became curious about what they were saying.
Give them some more time and guide them slowly, and Cong Mo should be able to remember it.
It would be useless to damage your cultivation.
Grandma Cat grabbed his hand at this moment and said, "I have recently researched a new drug. Just smell it and you can instantly transform into a human form. And the side effects are less than pills."
"No need." Leng Can pushed her away, "The pills are enough."
"?"
"No." Grandma Cat's mouth twitched. She didn't expect Leng Can to reject her. She held his hand tightly and said, "Do you want to try the effect? It works very well."
The old man reminded at the right time, "Don't believe it, it must be a trick, get out of here as soon as possible."
"Really, that's not necessary." Leng Can pulled her hand away and quickly dragged her back a meter. "Thank you, but I won't entertain you. We're leaving."
"Hey, don't."
"Mrs. Li, come quickly, this person..."
"Don't shout, don't shout, I'm leaving." Grandma Cat ran out and left without looking back.
