Devil on the tip of the tongue

Ji Heng stood there without daring to move, and followed the demon king's gaze to look out the window.

Many years ago, the entire Demon City was still gloomy and gloomy, until the new Demon King succeeded, and the new Demon King ordered people to dig out a magic mine that could generate electricity, bringing electricity and light. Most places in the Demon World were still in darkness. , the magic capital is like a lighthouse, spreading dazzling light day and night.

At the beginning, many monsters were not used to such light, and some monsters even stared at the thing called "electric light" for so long because of curiosity, their eyes were almost shaken out. Don't prepare a large amount of potion and sell it to these monsters, lest these monsters really go blind.

Ji Heng and the others were lucky, they had been hiding in the ruins without electricity, and gradually adapted to the light outside, until the demolition of these ruins was announced, and when they were forced to move away, all the monsters had already adapted well to the outside world. It's bright.

However, after all, it was just "adaptation". Deep in his heart, Ji Heng still liked the gloomy cave deep in the ancient ruins the most. Such a closed and dark environment gave him an irreplaceable sense of security.

He didn't know why the Demon King liked the dazzling light so much, maybe it was because it looked good?

Outside the window, the brightly lit Demon City is indeed more dazzling than the once gloomy Demon City, especially standing on the 95th floor, looking down, the little lights are shining like stars, Ji Heng doesn’t know what the stars look like, You can't see the sky in the demon world, but he once heard an old monster in the human world say that you can see the sky when you look up in the human world. At night, the stars in the sky are shining brilliantly, which is very beautiful.

"Go take a bath!" The Demon King suddenly said.Ji Heng was taken aback, and quickly hugged the pajamas in his arms. The pajamas were so soft that they didn't seem to have any weight. It's better to hold the memorial to feel safe.

"The bathroom is at the end of the corridor. Brush your teeth, wash your face, and take a shower. Don't make me say it a second time." A cold voice came, and Ji Heng snorted into the corridor next to him with his pajamas in his arms.

There are several doors on both sides of the corridor, and the door at the end is ajar. After pushing it open, it is indeed a place where you can take a bath. This kind of place is called a bathroom. Ji Heng has seen it in the place where Heishuimei works, but it is simpler than this There are many, and the ground is not covered with silver magic mine bricks.

He didn't change his shoes when he entered the door, and when Ji Heng stepped in, he stepped on a shoe print on the clean floor tiles where people can be seen... The little monster stood there with his pajamas in his arms, not daring to move After a long while, he gritted his teeth and squatted down, carefully took off his shoes and stuffed them into his backpack, then walked barefoot into the bathroom where he was bathing.

There were two pairs of shoes, one large and one small, at the entrance of the bathroom. The larger pair was still stained with water. It was obvious that someone had already used it. Ji Heng weighed it up, and decisively chose the pair of light blue shoes. Sure enough, he put them on It fits well, it should be prepared for yourself, right?

Brushing his teeth, washing his face, taking a bath, he understands these basic hygiene knowledge, which belong to the memory of his previous life... Although many of them have been forgotten due to the long evolution process, the habits rooted deep in the soul are still not forgotten.

Staring blankly at the bright mirror polished by a special magic ore, the monster inside could no longer be regarded as a "little monster". He had really grown up.

He lowered his head, picked up a handful of water and splashed his face, quickly brushed his teeth and wiped his face, and put on clean pajamas, but Ji Heng made another difficulty. He also put on his shoes when taking a bath, and now the shoes were stained with water Looking at the floor tiles that were so shiny that even a hair could not be found outside, after thinking about it, I knew that such water-stained shoes should never be worn out.

Is it barefoot?

While wiping his hair vigorously, Ji Heng stared at the floor tiles outside with a sad face. How idle are the monsters here?Why do you wipe the floor tiles so clean?Although his feet had been cleaned, he had been running around in the ruins and the magic cave barefoot for many years, and the soles of his feet were very rough. He was worried that the floor tiles would be scratched when he stepped on them.

"Are you ready?" After waiting for a long time before the little monster came out, the demon king walked over impatiently, seeing him standing in the bathroom and refusing to come out, he was immediately unhappy.

"I, my shoes got wet." Ji Heng was so nervous that he even forgot to comb his hair. His messy hair looked like a puppy that had been scuffed. Lou Jinyu, who was obsessive-compulsive, wanted to help him. Comb your hair up.

"Shoes!" A pair of brand new slippers flew in from the door without any warning, and landed at Ji Heng's feet.

Ji Heng hurriedly wiped his feet and put on his shoes, and habitually turned off the light in the bathroom.

Snapped!The light in the bathroom was turned on again, and an angry voice came: "Don't turn off the light!"

"There are rumors outside that the new demon king is moody, and it seems to be true!" Ji Heng slandered secretly in his heart, but did not dare to refute, sniffed, and quickly walked through the corridor to the living room outside.

"Sit!" Lou Jinyu gestured with his eyes, and the little monster immediately sat obediently on the designated sofa. Unexpectedly, the sofa was abnormally soft. The little monster couldn't control its center of gravity for a while, and immediately grabbed the sofa at a loss. There was only a puff in the quiet air, and the soft leather sofa was poked several small holes by the sharp claws of the little monster.

Ji Heng: "..."

"You! No! Cut! Fingers! Nails?!" The devil's voice unconsciously carried a hint of coercion.

"Well, that demon didn't say he wanted to cut his nails just now, I'll do it right away!" The little monster pulled its claws out of the sofa without tears, and a few small holes immediately appeared on the light gray leather cushion. Veins popped out on his forehead, and he deeply felt that his eyes were probably blind from looking at the neon lights for too long today, and he chose such a little monster to sleep with him. Is he sleeping or looking for death?

However, Lou Jinyu had no other choice.

During his more than ten years of studying in the human world, he has already gotten used to the light and warmth of the human world. If it wasn't because his father had to come back to succeed him, he might have lived in the human world for hundreds of years before he was willing to come back.It's a pity that my father has been the devil king for thousands of years, and he no longer wants to do this tedious job. In order to force him to come back, he even declared that he would leave the palace... There was no other way, he had to rush back immediately to inherit the position of devil king.

The road to succession is not all smooth sailing. Apart from some old monsters who obviously bullied him when he was young and disobedient to him, a bigger problem is coming: the demon prince who has returned from studying abroad, and the next demon king who is about to succeed , Suffering from claustrophobia!

Fortunately, when he was studying in the human world, one of his monsters took the medical department. Otherwise, none of them would believe that they, who grew up in the gloomy and dark demon world, would suffer from claustrophobia that only humans have. disease!

There are still monsters afraid of the dark in this world?

Lou Jinyu didn't even dare to tell his father, but this prompted them to speed up the excavation of the demon mine and the establishment of the first power plant of the demon race. There was no way, he was afraid of ghosts by lighting an oil lamp. In the ghost stories of the human race, There are quite a few ghosts crawling out of the lamp shadows...

Thinking of the horrible ghost stories he had read in the human world, Lou Jinyu secretly told himself that he is a demon destined to overthrow slavery and establish a communist society in the demon world, and he must firmly believe in materialism and atheism!

Originally, this matter was actually easy to solve. Just turn on the light when sleeping, and then find a few confidantes to ambush him in places where ghosts are prone to appear, such as windows, bathrooms, under the bed, etc., to protect him. No way!

The bigger the monster like him is, the more sensitive it is to the breath. No matter how powerful these subordinates are in concealing the breath, there is no way to escape the detection power of the devil. Therefore, ghosts will not appear, but the devil still Stubbornly insomnia - there is a big monster in the room and he can't sleep!

And then, the demon general Bai Yu gave him a trick - let the king go to the magic night opposite the building to rest every day, where the lights are brightly lit all night, and there are some very caring little monsters who will accompany him to relieve boredom, don't ask Why would he know, ahem, Bai Yu's sister is the boss behind the magic night.

But it's not the same... The little monsters pretending to be courteous will only make His Majesty the Demon King more uncomfortable, but Bai Yu is right about one thing. There is almost no sense of existence in the house, just like an elephant does not care about a small ant under its feet. But it can make the claustrophobic environment more popular.

The first time he saw Ji Heng, Lou Jinyu decided to keep this little monster. Ji Heng's eyes were very clear, not as complicated and thirsty for power and fame as those little monsters in the night of magic charm. He hesitated a lot, and his big black eyes looked like a little milk dog he raised in the human world, but it's a pity that living things in the human world cannot be kept in the devil world, so he wanted to see these familiar eyes. This little monster stays.

But he was too happy too soon.

The little monster is indeed very simple, but also very stupid.Deep cleanliness patients can't imagine how those paws covered with black old stains between the nails are still so dirty after taking a bath... Did he wash his hands?

Ji Heng sat on the sofa helplessly, his thin body sank into the soft sofa, his lowered eyes looked at the corner of the coffee table, he was so scared that he hardly dared to raise his head, no one really told him that he had to cut his hair when he came out to work Nails, Heishuimei didn't cut his nails when he went to work, why did he cut them?Moreover, it is very inconvenient to cut nails, plan holes and catch bugs.

Although he didn't understand, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few small holes on the sofa cushion that were pierced by his sharp claws. Ji Heng knew that he must be done this time, and he was afraid that he would lose this job...

"Forget it, come here!" There was a hint of anger mixed in the cold voice, Ji Heng's actions were faster than his brain's reaction, he jumped up like a spring, and transferred his buttocks to the sofa where the devil was sitting, the huge elasticity almost knocked him The demon king sitting on it was shaken out.

"Sit down!" Squeezing out two words between his teeth, Lou Jinyu found out a small pure gold nail clipper from nowhere, and fixed the dirty little monster with two fingers. Paws, began to patiently cut his nails.

Ji Heng suddenly seemed to be sealed, but now he really didn't move at all...

The author has something to say: Let me explain the age setting of the little monsters here. Although Xiao Ji’s human form looks like a teenager, but for monsters, strictly speaking, their existence time should start from the generation of consciousness , Therefore, it should have been more than 100 years since the little monster realized that it became a real monster that developed a human form~

In addition, dear friends who feel that the thinking mode of the little monster is a bit naive, here is a hidden plot, which will be unfolded later, no spoilers haha, let's look at the back!
