Devil on the tip of the tongue

Lou Jinyu was never a pure good devil, he never denied this.

With the blood of primitive monsters flowing in his bones, the young Demon King used the gentle and kind-hearted painted skin he learned from the human world to deceive those rebellious monsters in the Demon City, but he couldn't deceive himself.

He wants that little monster!

From the first time I saw him, the first time I heard his soft but firm voice, I couldn't tell what it was like, just like a tired traveler who suddenly saw a touch of green in the vast desert and heard The ding-dong of the spring water, even if it is just a mirage, I want to get close to it desperately!

I licked Paige's lollipop. It was very strange. He never liked to eat sweets, but the taste of this lollipop seemed a little different. Like that little monster, it had a completely different taste from the devil world...

The little monster, who was being targeted by the devil, was currently collecting all the packaged lollipops in dejection, and then made a paper bag with a huge piece of natural color paper, and put all the candies in it.This kind of true-color paper is a specialty of Sunset City, and the thorn forests multiply very fast. In order to prevent Sunset City from being invaded by thorns, the monsters in the city will cut down the thorn bushes near Sunset City every year.

There are so many chopped thorns, and the fire can't be burned. Therefore, the big monsters in Sunset City opened a workshop specializing in the production of paper. The natural color paper produced by special methods can be used as writing paper and wrapping paper. And toilet paper, etc., are very versatile, and the price is very cheap.

When they arrived at Ming's house with gifts, Ming Xiao was bringing Heishui Mei and the others to prepare the barbecue.

In the thorn forest of Sunset City, there is a kind of monster that lives in caves under the sand. This monster is only the size of a rabbit, because it grows up by gnawing on the roots of the thorn bush. The meat is very tender, especially suitable for barbecue.The Ming family bought a batch of these magical beasts yesterday. Both Ming's father and Ming Xiao like to eat meat, and they started to prepare for the barbecue very tacitly.

Barbecue is not something you can eat casually in the Devil Realm!

You know, the sense of smell of monsters is very sensitive, and the smell of barbecue is particularly domineering. Few monsters can resist the temptation of barbecue. It’s not that monsters with weaker strength can’t cook barbecue, most of the time they can’t Dare to do it, because even if it is roasted, it will be snatched away by other monsters. Only local rich monsters like the Ming family who live in the rich demon area and have a large number of monster bodyguards will roast meat at home.

"Ji Heng, come and taste my barbecue!" Ming Xiao grabbed Ji Heng.

"Mother Ming, this is a gift for you. I made the cartoon lollipops myself. You can decorate them on the cake." Ji Heng handed a paper bag full of lollipops to Mother Ming.

"What a cute candy! Let's make a cocoa-flavored cake for everyone today! You can decorate it with this kind of candy." Ming's mother smiled and held a bag of lollipops, and told Ming Xiao to treat the little guests well, and then said with a smile Go to the kitchen to prepare a snack.

It can't be seen at all that she is a female devil who can scratch a monster to death with one head and one claw!

The tender roasted monster meat calmed down the heaving and tired heart of the little monster.

"Ji Heng, let's catch this kind of prey called mongoose later, shall we?" Heishui licked his mouth charmingly after eating his portion of barbecue.

When they were in Trash Mountain before, they didn’t even know how to cook by themselves. When they picked up edible food, they had to eat it in their stomachs immediately. This is the survival rule that all the little monsters in Trash Mountain know, because if they don’t eat it immediately Otherwise, it may be snatched away by other monsters, not to mention lighting a fire to barbecue, which will only attract more terrifying and powerful monsters...

Therefore, even though they live outside the bustling city of Demon City, the little wild monster Heishuimei has never eaten fresh hot barbecue. That is, they can sit here and enjoy it safely under the protection of the Ming family. Delicious roti too.It's a pity that the prey called the mongoose is too small. After the skin is peeled, there is not much meat left, and there are so many demons in the Ming family, so if each monster is divided into a plate, there will be nothing left.

"Then you can go later, Ji Heng, your Uncle Ming and I have something to talk to you alone, can you do it now?" Ming's mother wiped the corner of her mouth and looked at Ji Heng.

"Mother Ming." Ji Heng hugged the memorial to Heishuimei, stood up, and went to the study with Ming's parents.

"Ji Heng, it's like this, your Uncle Ming and I like you and Memorial very much, so we want you and Memorial to be our adopted sons, so that in the future, you and Memorial will be the young masters of the Ming family, and Ming Xiao is the same, when you get married in the future, we will give you a house and some property..." Although there is no way to be the same as the blood of the orthodox Ming family, Ming's mother feels that at least she can guarantee that Ji Heng and Memorial have become Ming The adopted son of the family will definitely live a better life than now.

Of course, if Ji Heng becomes the concubine or even the queen, it will be a different matter. Needless to say, the family will help Zhang Luo get more valuable things for the wedding.

"Wait, mother Ming, well, I know that you and uncle are doing it for me and Memorial, but I, I actually have parents." Ji Heng pursed his lips, looking at Ming's mother who was worried. Suddenly he couldn't bear to hide it from her anymore. He knew that Ming's parents were good monsters, and he wanted to recognize them as adopted sons because he really wanted to do their best.

"You have parents? It's impossible!" Ming's father put down the cup in surprise, looked at Ji Heng carefully, and said very firmly, "This is absolutely impossible! It is very easy to distinguish whether it is a viviparous monster, you and Memorial, or There is Xiao Hei, who is obviously a wild monster. Viviparous monsters are in the form of monsters from birth, but wild monsters are conceived from magic energy. Just look at the memorial. He has been conscious for a long time, right? But the organs of the whole body It's not fully developed yet!"

"No, Dad Ming! I didn't lie to you, I don't have mom and dad here, but in another world, I really have mom and dad!"

"Another world?" Ming's parents were dumbfounded.

"Yes, you may not believe it. I am not a monster here. My hometown is actually in another world, which is the world of the human race where the king once studied. But I don't know why. When I was very young, because of An accident came here and became a monster here."

"I can't find my way home, but I will definitely find a way to go back to my parents!"

"So, I'm sorry that I can't promise you..." Because I know that my parents must still be waiting for me at home. If there are new parents, they will be very sad.

Ming's parents were silent for a moment.

If they were still single monsters, they would definitely not be able to understand Ji Heng's mood.

However, they are not, they also have their own little monsters.

Thinking of the possibility that their Ming Xiao may wander to a place where they can't find it, and thinking of Ming Xiao being alone but unable to find the way home... Just thinking about it casually, Ming's mother felt that the whole The head demon is about to collapse!Then she would go crazy!

Not to mention that if Ming Xiao suddenly finds other monsters to be Ming Xiao's new parents when he can't find them... Ming's mother thought about the kind of "I finally found my own monster cub, but it turned out to be a monster." Other people's little monsters" scene, no!She can't think about it anymore!

Ming's father is more emotional than Ming's mother, and his eyes are almost red at this moment... Don't get me wrong, he didn't cry, he thought that Ming Xiao had become someone else's little monster, and his whole head went crazy in an instant up!

half an hour-

"Good boy, Auntie really didn't know you had parents..." Ming's mother put her arms around Ji Heng's shoulders apologetically, "It doesn't matter if you are not adoptive parents, your Uncle Ming and I will still treat you as our own." It’s like a little monster. I heard from Xiao Hei that you still want to rent a house? Don’t say such things in the future. If you are really not used to living in it, I will ask them to arrange a small yard for you to live in alone. "Although Sunset City is the former fiefdom of the king, who knows if there will be any changes during the years when the king left? It's better to be prepared for the first time here."

"Well, thank you, Mother Ming." Ji Heng nodded, but in the end he still didn't say what the king told him.It was a test given to him by the king, he could think about it slowly, but it was better not to let other monsters know about it.

As a monster who is good at hiding his thoughts, after Ji Heng declined the Ming family's parents, he happily accompanied Heishuimei to go hunting outside the city.

To be precise, to the inner city.

Sunset City is a city built in an oasis in the vast desert. This oasis is divided into several parts. At the beginning, they were all independent. For a long time, the monsters were ordered to plant and multiply thorn bushes between the oases, and finally these oases were connected, and the ring-shaped thorn forest was used as the boundary, and the large thorn forest outside the city was divided into the sunset city, the inner city, Several parts of the outer city and the jungle area.

The small piece of thorny jungle in the inner city is an excellent place for all the minor monsters in Sunset City to practice hunting. There are many small prey like mongooses here, which are very suitable for the little beast-shaped monsters to practice hunting and biting, because there are no big ones. There is no danger to the monsters. Every day in Sunset City, there are many little monsters who invite their friends to come here to play.

The little monsters born in Trash Mountain are very good at finding food. Ji Heng and Heishuimei cooperated tacitly and caught the first mongoose very quickly.It really looks like a fat rabbit, with short and powerful limbs, a short layer of bristly hair, and a mouse-like head. Ji Heng neatly took out the prepared rope and tied it up.

Since they are alive, he wants to go back and try to see if they can raise them. If they can really give birth like rabbits, maybe they can raise some by themselves and keep them as food reserves.

After declining the suggestion of the Ming family's parents to adopt them just now, after thinking about it carefully, Ji Heng finally decided to move out from the Ming family's master's house, but he did not refuse Ming's mother's kindness, and rented a small house under the Ming family's name , although it is a bit far from the palace, but the location is good, it is in the old residential area of ​​Sunset City, and the security is very good.

He didn't miss what Uncle Ming and the others meant, they wanted to adopt him and commemorate him, that is to say, Heishuimei was not in their consideration from the very beginning.

Ji Heng didn't know why Xiao Hei didn't get the favor of Uncle Ming and the others, but from his side, he and Xiao Hei were best friends.

Although Uncle Ming and Aunt Ming approached him alone to talk about this matter, the careful Ji Heng was still very worried. In case Xiao Hei would be sad if he found out about this matter, they also went to Ming’s house together. Uncle Ming and the others But he is willing to adopt him and commemorate him, but he doesn't mention Heishuimei... Ji Heng can't figure out the reason for this, but his intuition tells him that he should move out!

In fact, what Ji Heng didn't know was that the Ming family's parents never thought about adopting Heishuimei together.

However, the situation of Heishuimei is different from that of Ji Heng and his brothers. Ji Heng is young and inexperienced, so he can't understand many things. If he wants to have a higher position beside the Demon King, the best thing is to be a wild monster with no relatives and no reason, instead of being mixed with an ancient family of the Demon Clan like the Ming Clan ...That would be a hindrance to Xiao Hei instead of a help.

However, they won't tell Ji Heng and the others about this kind of thing, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but now, speaking out, just like Ji Heng thought, will only make Heishuimei sad for no reason.
