Chapter 244 Paladin 8
"I am here."
Ling Yi shook off half of the demons chasing her and killed the other half, finally getting a moment's rest.
Holding the money she had scavenged from someone else's corpse, Ling Yi sat at a table in the corner, under the covetous gaze of the demon shopkeeper. She took out a few demon coins, ordered a cup of wine made from the blood of some unknown demon beast, and aimlessly scanned the outside world.
Where did Celeos go? Could it be that he's lost her?
Just as she was thinking this, a figure wearing the exact same cloak as her appeared out of nowhere beside her and grabbed her wrist.
Ling Yi lowered her eyes, not minding the succubus's unbridled approach, and looked at what he was carrying.
Sereos held up the monster meat and a little bit of other food in his hand: "I haven't been back there for a long time. If we don't want to starve to the point of eating Gulu beasts, we need to buy some food first."
His practiced manner made him look like a seasoned pig farmer.
Ling Yi raised an eyebrow: "Isn't anyone after you?"
Sereos asked in surprise, "I haven't caused any trouble, so why is someone chasing me?"
Ling Yi stared blankly at the demons outside who were being beheaded as they walked down the street, remaining silent.
The moment the demon's body fell to the ground, the city floor cracked open and swallowed him up.
No wonder the streets are spotless, with no trace of a murder scene; it turns out something is doing something all the time.
"The volcanic demons under the Lava Lord's command can melt or devour most things in the world. The entire Lava City was built on top of him," Sereos explained to her, noticing her curiosity.
Ling Yi nodded, took a sip of the blood wine, and frowned deeply: "Go back to your pigsty first, then find an opportunity to catch Lucius."
Even if we can't catch him, we have to get him to pass on a message to the Pope so she can handle the mission.
I just don’t know…
Her gaze lingered on the succubus's alluring collarbone, which was subtly revealed, and she wondered if the succubus would be willing to leave with her.
Anyway, capturing Lucius will take time. In the meantime, she can try to build a relationship with him and make him willingly go with her. If that doesn't work...
Ling Yi sighed. "Then I'll just have to knock the succubus unconscious and take her away."
Sereos's pupils darkened under her gaze, and his voice unconsciously took on a seductive tone: "What are you thinking about, Yi Yi?"
He took Ling Yi's cup, his lips brushing against the spot where Ling Yi had touched, sipping the blood-red wine in the cup, his eyes like hooks: "No matter what Yi Yi is thinking, I can satisfy Yi Yi."
"I hope you won't struggle when you get beaten," Ling Yi said insincerely to herself, then stood up and said, "Let's go."
Sereos naturally picked up his cup and followed behind Ling Yi.
How can a cup that has been used by Yi Yi be allowed to be used by other lowly demons?
"You..." The shopkeeper, whose things had been taken, stared wide-eyed, as if he was about to pull out an axe from behind the counter and chop him down at any moment.
But a gold coin that flew right in front of her made her shut her mouth instantly, and her green eyes softened: "It is our honor that a distinguished guest like you enjoy the cups of our shop. Please take care."
A cup costs only a few copper coins, and unless one is extremely greedy, the shopkeeper would want Sereos to take something else before he would feel at ease.
Sereos obediently followed behind Ling Yi, sipping the coarse and unpalatable wine in small sips, and quietly directing her in the direction she was going.
The demons in this city were savage and cruel, as well as cunning and clever. After the group of people at the city gate suddenly disappeared, no one tried to touch the two cloaked figures anymore.
When Ling Yi occasionally saw something interesting, the demons tending the stall offered very reasonable prices.
Having never been scammed, Ling Yi walked to the breeding area at the back of the city and sighed, "The demon race really has a simple and honest folk culture."
Once a group of people die, they'll know how to do business.
Sereos pushed aside the wooden fence that barely reached his waist, carried the meat, and went into the cabin.
The wooden house contained only a table, two chairs, and a bed that wasn't too small.
The bed was covered with soft fur, giving one the feeling of wanting to lie down and sleep forever the moment you touched it.
"What is this?" Ling Yi asked curiously, touching the dark, glossy fur of the wild beast.
"The pelt of the hybrid nightmare beast feels so comfortable, doesn't it?" Sereos took off his cloak, lay down on the pelt, propped his cheek with one hand, and beckoned to Ling Yi with the other: "Yi Yi, do you want to come here and do something fun with me?"
A long, slender, fluffy tail wrapped around Ling Yi's waist, its fuzzy heart-shaped tail swaying in front of her, enticing her to come closer.
Ling Yi grabbed the restless heart-shaped object, causing the man to groan, "Don't be so horny in broad daylight. Where's your pig? Has it starved to death?"
In her current state, she's no match for the Lava Lord.
If the Lava Lord discovers that her swineherd has fed her precious pig to death and demands he be executed, she can't save him.
“How ruthless.” Rising from the skin of the previous Demon King, Sereos removed his armor in front of Ling Yi and put on a long black robe: “I’ll take you to see them.”
As his hand reached out to grab her, Ling Yi instinctively jumped back a step: "Wear more clothes."
The long black robe was semi-transparent, unable to conceal the snow-white skin and the touch of crimson on it. If this guy hadn't been so conscientious as to wear a pair of pants, Ling Yi would have gotten a sty by now.
"Good heavens, how could I have encountered such a rigid human?" Celeos lamented. "Didn't you realize I was tempting you? Shouldn't you pounce on me, touch my skin, and kiss my chest?"
"There is truly no one more conservative than the humans in your Church of Light! I hate the God of Light!"
He spoke with a hateful tone and tore the clothes that he had wanted Ling Yi to tear without any politeness. Reluctantly, he changed into a not-so-transparent, but still...emmmmm, outfit.
Ling Yi glanced at the tattered cloth thrown on the ground and felt a sense of shame: "In our Holy See, you would have been roasted on a cross long ago."
Sereos sneered, "It is I who should send the Pope and the God of Light to the grill together!"
He angrily grabbed Lingyi's hand and led her to see the round, chubby Gulu beasts.
Dozens of plump Gulu beasts of all sizes roamed on the black lawn. They ate and slept, and slept and ate. Even when they saw someone coming, they didn't run an extra step. They had obviously been raised to be stupid pigs with no sense of defense.
