The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

After Mimi was born, Piao Sanlang stopped spending all day away from home making magical tools. Instead, he focused on taking care of Weiwei and his newborn second daughter, Mimi. Huizi was also freed up and once again worked with Zunzun and the others to farm and support the family.

Wait a minute.

Have their roles been reversed?

However, this division of labor is actually quite good. Not only can Huizi farm to get free meals and reduce the family's burden, but Youyou's bento can also supplement Weiwei and Mimi's nutrition. If Piao Sanlang were to freeload and scheme to steal Youyou's bento, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.

Hiss—

Something doesn't feel right.

"How is it? Youyou, haven't you figured out the answer yet? It's been a long time."

Huizi and Youyou were sitting on the steps of the dilapidated altar, resting. They were using riddles to decide who would get Youyou's bento today.

Youyou covered her head with her hands, her eyes darting back and forth, shouting, "Wait, wait... that, that... what is it that climbs higher the hotter the weather...? The answer to this question is... is..."

"Okay, I'm going to say the answer!"

"Don't rush me, I'm about to figure it out!"

"3, 2, 1..."

"Wait, wait a second!"

"The answer is the sun."

Huizi didn't give her any time at all, and even mocked her after saying the answer: "Youyou is really stupid. You can't even guess such a simple question. Are you really the Crimson Demon known for your high intelligence and high magical power?"

"It's the sun? So it's the sun. Really, give me a little more time and I could have figured it out!"

"But the winner is me. So, according to the agreement, Youyou's bento today is mine."

"I, I understand. I'll accept my loss. Today's bento is, is yours."

Even though Youyou lost, her face was full of happy smiles. Seeing her like this, Zunzun always felt a little guilty.

"By the way, my mother said she wants to eat meat recently. Can I trouble you to bring some food with meat tomorrow? It would be even better if it was all meat!"

"Meat, meat? I understand, I'll prepare it tomorrow."

Youyou carefully noted it down.

What exactly happened between the bento bets starting out casually and now Huizi deciding what the food will be tomorrow? Even Zunzun couldn't figure it out.

Of course, it's not like Huizi always wins. Youyou also has strengths in some areas.

For example—

"Okay, the break time is almost over. So, Youyou, let's compete to see who farms more land!"

"Farm more land? Okay, okay, this time I will definitely farm more land than Huizi and win!"

Then the two began another contest.

The result was naturally that Youyou, with her greater stamina, won. She farmed more land today than Huizi and Zunzun combined... because the little loli was simply slacking off. She didn't even farm half of Zunzun's half. She was completely just dawdling and dragging her feet.

The clueless Youyou, who was being played around, was instead happily cheering that she had won.

Enough, stop persecuting Youyou.

Zunzun painfully covered her eyes, not wanting to see this heartbreaking scene.

"Yes, yes, yes, I lost, I lost."

The little loli didn't deny it after losing, but pretended to be helpless and said, "So, what do you want me to do? Help you carry the farm tools on the way back, or give you a shoulder massage? If you want me to carry you back, forget it. Youyou, you're too big, and my stamina isn't good enough for that. Maybe it'll turn into Youyou carrying me back."

"I, I'm not big, and I don't need Huizi to carry me! A shoulder massage is also good, but, but, I... I..."

Youyou said that she wouldn't do anything as excessive as Huizi. Then she lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red, her fingers constantly twirling together.

Huizi pressed:

"Then what exactly do you want? Hurry up and say it."

"If, if possible... tomorrow, with, with me... together... eat beef rice. The restaurant in the village recently launched a new set menu, saying it's in preparation for next year's tourist attractions. Of course, it's my treat... Huh, Huizi, what are you doing?"

"Goddess! You must be the Goddess! Goddess, please accept my bow!"

"Wait... wait, don't bow to me!"

It must be said that Youyou is gradually growing. She, who was originally too shy to even speak, now even knows how to lure with food.

However, Youyou didn't come the next day.

"Although I don't think that guy is someone who would break a promise, it seems like she really didn't come."

The little loli's tone was full of resentment.

This morning, she wanted to sit on the steps of the altar and look forward to it, but from morning until almost noon, Youyou still hadn't come.

This was too abnormal.

You know, Youyou was always the first one to arrive among the three of them. There was even one time when she arrived before the sun had risen. When asked why she was like this, the answer she got was: The book says that it is etiquette to arrive early when meeting friends, so I came early.

Huizi sighed deeply: "Really, she was the one who said we would eat together today, but she hasn't come yet..."

It seems that even the little loli has developed friendship with Youyou.

"You know, I haven't eaten since last night, just waiting to eat more beef rice. Now I'm so hungry that I'm dizzy. Also, if she doesn't come, won't I not be able to eat the bento with meat? Speaking of which. Zunzun, I'm hungry, can you let me eat today's bento first?"

Take back the previous statement.

This guy just treats Youyou as a bento machine in school.

"You... you've eaten so many of Youyou's bentos, at least care about her a little."

"There's nothing to care about, right? That guy must have something to do, so she didn't come."

Huizi didn't think that Youyou had intentionally broken the promise.

This is a good thing.

But seeing Huizi eating the bento without a care in the world, Zunzun was a little dissatisfied. Her eyes rolled and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which quickly disappeared and was replaced by a slightly worried expression.

"Could something have happened? Look, this is a forbidden area, it's not surprising that there are monsters."

"Eh?"

"Although you won't encounter them as long as you take the right path, if something attracts the monsters, like a bento that emits the aroma of meat..."

After speaking, Zunzun secretly watched the little loli's reaction.

She saw her silently put down the bento in her hand, then picked up the wood knife placed next to the altar steps and turned to walk towards the path she came from.

Zunzun looked at her thin back with amusement, and shouted at the same time: "Huizi, are you going to work? But the farmland is over here, you're going in the wrong direction! Also, aren't you going to eat your bento?"

"I'm not eating it, my mother just has something to talk to me about, I'll go home first."

The little loli didn't turn her head back.

Just as she was about to disappear from view, Zunzun seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted: "Ah, I suddenly remembered! Youyou said there was something going on at home today and she would come over in the afternoon! Sorry, Huizi, I forgot about it!"

Then, she saw Huizi stunned in place.

Zunzun was secretly laughing, but her expression quickly became horrified.

"...Wait, wait! Huizi, I'm kidding! I was just kidding! Don't get excited, don't get excited!"

The little loli with red eyes rushed over with the wood knife.
