The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

Thick clouds blanketed the sky, threatening rain at any moment. In this atmosphere, three Crimson Demons stood apart with serious expressions, each holding a magic staff.

"It's starting!"

One of the older sisters shouted from a distance.

Hearing her voice, the other two, scattered elsewhere, raised their hands in acknowledgement. Confirming they had heard, the older sister in the distance thrust her staff into the ground, and then—

"I offer my magic as sustenance, grant this land great fertility! Earth, tremble!"

With exaggerated lines, she loudly chanted the spell. Earth magic instantly covered the vast land before her, causing the ground to heave, vibrate, and flow like a pulse.

The caster manipulated the soil at will, expanding the cultivated area before her.

...That's right, this was just tilling.

Despite consuming such vast magic and shouting such dramatic lines, it was all just to till a piece of land.

It wasn't over yet.

Seeing the land stop flowing, another Crimson Demon, a man, stepped forward carrying a large box. After placing the box on the ground, he raised his staff high, shouting with a serious expression.

"Atmosphere, wind, roar and rage! Heed my will! Fly to the heavens! Tempest!"

The wind magic, infused with enough magic to shake the sky, lifted the contents of the box and scattered them over the tilled land.

...That's right, this was just sowing seeds.

Watching this grand spectacle of sowing, the man nodded in satisfaction, then waved to the last person.

"My omnipotent power is enough to distort the laws of the world, and I can control the weather with one hand! Atmospheric manipulation!"

With the last person's powerful voice, rain began to fall from the cloud-covered sky.

...That's right, this was just watering.

Although it was just ordinary farm work, they were all generously using vast amounts of magic to cultivate the land with powerful spells.

The entire Crimson Demon Village's food supply was provided by only about ten farmers.

Keep in mind that this village had several hundred people, and the food for these hundreds of people was produced in this vast agricultural area expanding before Zun Zun, in such a grand and豪迈 manner. Perhaps this was the so-called talent of wasting magic.

"Magic is amazing."

"Yeah."

"Magic is so convenient."

"Yeah."

"I wish I could use magic too."

"Yeah."

Yuyu looked at Zun Zun beside her, whose eyes had already died, and had no idea how to comfort him.

This morning, she had casually mentioned that the villagers were coming to the agricultural area to use magic to farm today, and if he was interested, he might as well come and observe. Thus, they witnessed the aforementioned grand and extraordinarily 豪迈 cultivation.

Then Zun Zun was hit so hard that he became withdrawn.

This was only natural. It was like when you were complacent about solving a sixth-grade math problem, and then you saw someone your age easily solve university calculus, and the thought that you were a waste occupied your entire brain.

"I, I might as well stop farming in the future."

"N-No need to go that far... This... That... !"

Yuyu wanted to say something comforting, but she couldn't say anything. She didn't seem to be very good at comforting people.

"Hmph, I was just saying that casually. How could this little scene hit me so hard?"

Zun Zun proudly raised his head.

He was still thinking about being a supporter, not only to support his family, but also Hui Hui needed his support, so how could he stop farming because of this little setback?

"But this year's vegetables are so energetic."

Yuyu couldn't help but sigh.

Following her gaze, Zun Zun also looked over. Potatoes were planted in another field, and small potatoes kept dodging the Crimson Demon farmers with feints, and other potatoes hit his knees, causing that person to accidentally fall to the ground.

"The village is actually growing rare ingredients."

"That... well, they are Crimson Demons after all."

"That's true."

They were already using upper-level magic that consumed a lot of power to cultivate the land, so what was impossible about growing rare ingredients? Moreover, Sister Tao Lao said that the villagers also used them as goods to wholesale to other towns, earning a lot of money.

Now the gap was even bigger.

Zun Zun's face darkened.

"Yuyu, we have to work harder to grow better and more food!"

"Eh? O-Okay!"

Yuyu didn't know why the 'older sister' in front of her had developed a competitive spirit, but under the influence of this momentum, she subconsciously agreed.

Returned to the forbidden area.

Zun Zun mustered up his strength to work, and Yuyu followed him to farm blankly, her movements mechanical, obviously not understanding why she was following him to farm, but she still kept up with Zun Zun's rhythm.

The sun set in the west, and the two of them, exhausted, ended their day of farming.

Yuyu was stronger than she imagined. She had much more stamina than Hui Hui, and she was a great tool person... no, a partner.

"Okay, let's stop here for today."

"O-Okay."

Yuyu nodded slightly, panting.

Her little face was dirty, and her clothes were covered in mud, and she couldn't see her previous cute appearance at all. But this was a necessary sacrifice. If you want to get something, you have to pay something. This is the right thing in the world.

When he put away the farm tools, Zun Zun suddenly stood still.

The other Crimson Demons used magic to cultivate the land, but he used hoes and shovels. This was like high-tech fighting cold weapons. No matter how you look at it, you can't win, right? And it just happens to be a magic test that is more mysterious than high technology!

"Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing. Let's go, let's go home."

"Oh, okay."

Yuyu nodded obediently.

The two of them slowly went home. I don't know if it was because they were stimulated, Zun Zun worked very hard in farming today, and his body felt more tired than usual.

Hurry home to cook, take a bath and have a good sleep!

...Thinking this way, Zun Zun stopped at the door of his house, looked at Yuyu who was still following behind him, and was a little dumbfounded.

"Why did you follow me here?"

"Eh, Zun Zun said to go home with you... Eh? Did I hear you wrong?"

"No, I was wrong. Also, Yuyu, you should be more careful. If you are abducted by someone with bad intentions, you may encounter danger." Zun Zun saw someone's shadow in her.

But is it not good to send her away now?

Suddenly, Sister Tao Lao's voice came from behind: "Zun Zun, what are you doing here? Why don't you go home... Ah, could this be... a friend!"

I knew it!

Looking at Sister Tao Lao covering her mouth and her eyes shining, Zun Zun's face couldn't help but twitch.

"F-Friend?"

Yuyu also looked a little excited, and then looked at Zun Zun with apprehensive eyes.

"Not a friend..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yuyu looking like she was about to cry, and immediately changed his words.

"Yes, a friend! Yuyu is a very useful friend!"

Hearing this sentence, Yuyu's crying face instantly turned into a smiling face.

Only Sister Tao Lao was a little strange.

—A useful friend?
