Lonemoon’s eyes narrowed. He glanced at Chef up and down. “Why do I feel that there’s something weird with you recently? It’s okay that you don’t follow Shen Ying and make trouble, but you can actually take the initiative to help?” It was a bit overly obedient. “Tell me, what have you two done this time?”

Yi Qing froze, but remained in his expressionless look. His eyes turned towards the direction of Shen Ying, and then he shook his head hard and said, “No, no. We didn’t do anything guilty. You are mistaken!”

“…” You’ve already said it! Don’t turn away, if you dare! He directly reached out his hand and said, “Hand over your storage bag!”

Yi Qing hesitated for a second, but eventually handed it over.

He opened it and looked. Inside, besides, a pile of groceries and cooking equipment, there was only a lonely sword in the corner.It was so tidy that there wasn’t even a spirit stone.

Lonemoon was still not assured. He turned and reached out his hand towards Shen Ying. “And yours!”

“I won’t need to be checked, will I?” Shen Ying hugged her bag tightly.

“You must be checked!”

“Alright… You’ve got to return it to me!” She hurried to take out a few fruits, before handing it over.

Lonemoon opened it and looked, then the corner of his mouth twitched immediately. He thought it was just an ordinary storage bag, but pulling it open, he realized that there was actually a huge storage space inside. It could almost reach the size of a small mystic realm. Not only that, there was actually a plant-able space inside and a whole wood of spirit fruit trees. No wonder Shen Ying nibbled at fruits non-stop everyday but never went to pick them. So this was where they were grown.

It didn’t take much thinking to know that this little mystic realm that looked like a storage bag must be secretly made for her by Chef, not to mention other snacks, pastries etc. that piled up like a mountain. Was she preparing for winter? How much food had she stored? Hello?

More importantly, he had never even seen some of them before. This little bitch who ate alone! And she actually dared to fight for food with him on ordinary days. That was too much.

“Half of them confiscated!” He waved a hand, and half of the food inside was taken away, together with the fully ripened fruits on the tree.

“…”

“That’s it, let’s go!” Lonemoon stuffed the half-empty bag back, and turned to start walking towards the opposite side of the street.

“…” Motherf*cker!

“Don’t be anxious, Master.” Seeing that he walked further away, Yi Qing produced another identical storage bag and said through voice transmission, “Here’s your bag. The one Father Niu searched just now was just a spare.”

“Good Chef!” Shen Ying took it over immediately. Hmm, luckily there was a bigger one.

“Master…” Yi Qing gave Lonemoon who had already walked further away, and started with some hesitation, “Father Niu, did he discover something? Are we going to continue…” He was shocked just now.

Shen Ying looked up at him, gave him a pat on the shoulder and said, “Everything is perfectly fine till now!”

“But afterwards if…”

“Rest assured. He’s Father Niu!”

“…”

Why did he become even more worried? He’d go crazy, absolutely!

“What are you two doing?” Lonemoon turned back and called out towards the two. “We’ll stay here for the night. I’ve already booked the room. Hurry and come here!”

“Okay, Father Niu! No problem, Father Niu!”

He decided that he had to store up some more food for Master at the moment. Maybe they’d really go out of food provisions later!

The night was deep as water, a round moon hung high in the sky.

Perhaps because of the monsters outside of town, the town was already completely silent once night fell. Under the moonlight, thin demonic aura started rising in the woods out of town.

Lonemoon dragged Shen Ying and Yi Qing out of the town. Searching for that bit of demonic aura that they sensed during the day, they went right towards the woods. There had yet to be any immortal cultivator in this plane, so the best way of publicity was to kill this demon, and let the people in town know what a cultivator was.

He had noticed during the day that the one making trouble in this town was a small demon, whose demonic aura was weak and hid inside these woods. Lonemoon thought at first that they’d spend quite a long time before finding it. Yet within less than two minutes after they entered the woods, a figure came out on its own, and fell on the ground in front of them very deliberately. It bumped onto a stone when it fell, and made a movement toward the side, before letting out a cry of pain.

“Ouch~~~”

Lonemoon: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Perhaps seeing that the three was indifferent, showing no intention of going forward to help her, that fallen figure laid on the ground without getting up, and then made a louder,

“Ouch, ouch!”

“…”

“Ah, so painful!”

“…”

The three still didn’t move. The figure finally couldn’t help it, turned its head, looked over and reminded them with surprise and a little anger, “Aren’t you… helping me up?”

The three exchanged a look, and then replied at the same time, “No!”

“…” This was different from what I expected!

“What on earth do you want?” Lonemoon gave it a look. Did it think they were blind? Not to mention such affected acting, this was apparently a demon, right? It was okay that it didn’t know how to change to human shape, but couldn’t it at least cover that huge squirrel tail at its back? It was a blatant insult on their IQ, okay?

The squirrel demon froze for a moment, completely unaware that its identity was already exposed. Seeing that they showed no intention of helping, it had to get up on its own. It patted the dirt on its clothes and picked up the bamboo basket on the ground. As though it was scared of exposing its identity, it even pulled the hat on its head, as though scared of exposing its identity. It covered itself in its big coat… except the tail!

“Cough! Thank you, kind people.” It coughed, and continued to speak with a voice innocent and somewhat fluttered, “Since you all helped me, I just happened to have gotten some rare good mushrooms, maybe…”

“We didn’t help you!” Before it could finish, Lonemoon interrupted it directly.

“Eh?” The squirrel demon who was interrupted froze momentarily, and a bit of panic flashed across its face. It ignored his point with a blank face, and summoned up courage to continue acting, “No, you all did help me. Let me sell you my mushrooms. Look, I just picked these!”

With that said, it reached over with the basket in its hands. There was really a basket-full of mushrooms. There was a red type and a white type. The red type showed little bits of demonic aura, while the other one was a spirit herb with spirit qi.

Lonemoon glanced at the squirrel demon, “Which kind of mushroom are you selling?”

The squirrel demon became overjoyed. Its face was written full of the happiness of a plot being successfully carried out. It hurried to produce those red ones and said, “This kind, this kind!” Then it thought about it, took out another white one and added, “This kind needs to be bought too. But you have to eat the red ones first. After waking up in the day, you then eat the white ones. You can’t just buy one kind.”

Lonemoon’s eyes narrowed. “You mean after eating these red ones, one has to spend one night unconscious before waking up?”

“Yeah. But you still have to eat white ones, or you will feel very bad.” The squirrel demon nodded honestly.

“It is so!” Lonemoon nodded. “Is this your first time coming out to cheat people?”
