Actually, you are not human

When Zheng Qiufen came back with the wine bottle, he saw Du Shengxiao sitting at the table, slowly eating a bunch of chicken hearts, and standing next to her was a little girl in red with her head bowed—it was the shop owner's sister, red. Nine.

He hurried forward a few steps, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiuer, don't bully the people brought by brother, you..."

Zheng Qiufen swallowed half of what he said after seeing Hong Jiu's silent expression, and swallowed it back. He looked at Du Shengxiao in surprise, and asked, "You actually cured her?"

Du Shengxiao glanced up at him and smiled meaningfully.

Zheng Qiufen was stuck in his head for a moment, and then asked in disbelief: "She... who is she?"

Du Shengxiao swallowed the chicken heart in his mouth, and said lightly: "Don't be shy, everyone is gone."

Only then did Zheng Qiufen look around belatedly, and found that there was no one else in the bustling backyard except for the three of them and a happy meat-eating three-foot beast. The beam is also gone.

"They're all gone? All gone in just a short while?" He asked in surprise.

Du Shengxiao smiled, and said meaningfully: "I guess, everyone who comes here to eat, except you, knows the rules."

"Everyone knows the rules..." Zheng Qiufen looked at Du Shengxiao's eyes, and his Adam's apple slid with difficulty: "So, the people who called me brothers and sisters before were all... all goblins?"

"Puff." Hong Jiu let out a mocking laugh, Du Shengxiao raised her eyes and glanced at her, and she immediately covered her mouth firmly with her hands.

"It's okay, you can say it." Du Shengxiao picked up a skewer of roast beef and put it on the plate, tore off a small strip of roasted meat that was just right from it with chopsticks, and ordered as he put it into his mouth.

Hong Jiu immediately let go of the hand covering her, and said with a single brain: "They are not goblins, and neither am I." She looked at the goofy Sanchi Beast, and continued, "Neither is Master Sanchi, either. We are beasts, and we existed after the creation of the world. Some cultivated adults with low spells, just like me. Some maintained the shape of beasts, with high spells, like Master Sanchi. Beasts with the shape of beasts must stay in the City of All Souls, because they often The mind is not open, and there is mana but no brains. If you go out, you will cause a lot of trouble in the human world. And we beasts who cultivate human form are required to report to Master Wanlingshou every hundred years. His cultivation, except what is needed to maintain the basic human form, must be handed over to Master Wanlingshou."

Zheng Qiufen suddenly realized and nodded: "Your Master Wan Lingshou sounds like nothing. Doesn't he practice himself?"

Hong Jiu nodded violently at first, and then shook his head desperately: "That's not the case. Master Wanling needs a lot of cultivation to guard the beasts in the Spirit City, and if the beasts in the Spirit City enter the human world, the harm they will cause is something we don't want to see." Yes. We like the human world, and we don't want this world to be destroyed by those beasts."

After Hong Jiu had said something, Zheng Qiufen hadn't expressed his opinion yet, but Du Shengxiao smiled softly and said, "Since you understand everything, where have you been for the past 700 years? I haven't waited until you hand in the Your cultivation level." He stretched out his hand and squeezed the girl's slender wrist, raised his eyebrows and said, "But it seems that you don't have any cultivation level in your body."

Zheng Qiufen was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that Master Wan Lingshou, who was 'not a thing', was the schizophrenic patient in front of him who had entered the crazy and cool mode again.

And Du Shengxiao stared closely at Hong Jiu's eyes, and slowly said: "Then where did your 700 years of spiritual power go?"

Hong Jiu's lips moved, but before she could speak, Du Shengxiao suddenly let go of her wrist, leaned back on the chair, and said casually: "Speaking of which, I didn't hide my identity when I came in just now. It stands to reason that even if I can't remember the beast that came to Spirit City to 'hand in', they should remember me, but just now..." He paused, raised the corners of his mouth, picked a bunch of lettuce from the plate, ignored The Sanchi Beast's resistance forcefully stuffed it into its mouth, then looked up at Zheng Qiufen who had been dumbfounded, and continued, "Just now, no one recognized me."

"That's right." Zheng Qiufen clapped his hands suddenly: "Liang Ze is very timid. If he knew that you were the warden, he would be scared to death and know how to come and say nice things to you, but just now he didn't react at all. No."

"The warden?" Du Shengxiao repeated the word with great interest, nodded and said, "Yes, I am the warden, in charge of a group of life-imprisoners and a group of bail inspectors, this word is really vivid ah."

Zheng Qiufen smiled: "But don't call it that. I heard that the warden ended up miserable. Have you seen The Shawshank Redemption? The warden in it ended up ruined."

"Being ruined?" Du Shengxiao rubbed his chin: "It's so terrible to be ruined."

Zheng Qiufen looked at his calm and breezy appearance, his heart skipped a beat, but he let out an 'ah', and said in surprise, "Isn't that miserable?"

Du Shengxiao smiled, didn't say anything, and looked at Hong Jiu who was standing tremblingly by the side again: "By the way, you haven't said anything yet, why don't they know me?"

Hong Jiu clenched her fists tightly, and smiled stiffly: "Maybe it's because... because they are all born in the past 100 years... There are so many beasts in Lingcheng, and not all of them may know you. "

"It's funny." Zheng Qiufen curled his lips: "If the idol doesn't know the fans, how can there be fans who don't know the idol?"

"He's not our idol!" Hong Jiu subconsciously retorted, then bit her lower lip, and regained her silence.

Du Shengxiao agreed, "That's right, I'm different from you and your fans, I'm not their idol, but I think there should be no prisoner who doesn't know the warden, right?"

Hong Jiu lowered his head and didn't speak.

Du Shengxiao took out the Lingcheng chapter that Zheng Qiufen had seen that day from his pocket, played with it in his hand, and said lightly: "Besides, 3 years ago, the animal form was forbidden to cultivate the human form. During the past year, few spirit city beasts escaped without being caught, but why are there so many 'newborn beasts' gathered in this small barbecue shop of yours?"
