Chapter 253: Can’t Dodge It

Bing State, Wilderness

In a valley somewhere, Small Shadiao held a bunch of flowers and handed them to a lady in a red dress. The lady blushed and took the flowers, and the surrounding area was filled with the cheerful sound of birds singing.

"Big Brother Lin, is this what humans call romance?"

"Hong’er, this is romance. Look, it’s written in human books. Flowers represent romance and love."

Small Shadiao took out a book from their bag and flipped it open for the lady in red to see.

"Big Brother Lin is amazing. He can read human writing!"

"It’s not a big deal. I have a status among humans. I have a servant named Xiao Yi who massages me and cooks delicious food for me. Look, I brought some for you too."

Small Shadiao casually said, then took out a variety of delicious food from their bag. The lady in red looked at the bag with shining eyes.

After reaching the fourth level of advancement, many members of the demon clan gained the ability to create storage bags. However, these bags were not as useful as a cultivator’s storage bag and couldn’t hold as much. Moreover, the demon clan’s storage bags could also create many wonderful things.

Small Shadiao followed the lady’s gaze and immediately understood. They took out a storage bag from their pocket and said. Hong’er, this is a gift from your big brother.

"Brother is really kind."

"Hong’er, try this cake. It’s a secret technique of my servant, something even human girls can’t taste."

"Mmm, it’s so sweet."

"No matter how sweet the cake is, it can’t be as sweet as my Hong’er."

Little Shadiao saw cream on the corner of the lady in red’s mouth. He lowered his head, rolled his tongue, and licked the cream clean.

"Brother is really naughty."

Surprisingly, the lady in red blushed. Little Shadiao burst into laughter, put his arm around the lady’s shoulder, and led her into the cave in the valley.

"Dad, Dad, I want to eat too!"

"I want to eat too!"

Before entering the cave, a big group of bright red birds flew over, each of them speaking in words.

"Go, go, go."

Small Shadiao wasn’t as friendly with these birds as before. With a wave of his hand, he disgustedly told them to go away, saying that he was just joking about being their father, but they actually believed him.

Small Shadiao led the woman in the red dress into the cave. It took a whole hour for the commotion in the cave to finally stop.

After shamelessly spending several days like this, Small Shadiao felt that he should leave. He said to the woman in the red dress, "Hong’er, I have to go."

"Brother, please don’t go. Stay here."

"No, I can’t. I still have a bunch of servants waiting for me in the human world, relying on me to support them. Next time, I’ll bring you pretty clothes and delicious food, okay?"

"Okay, brother is really nice."

"But Hong’er, buying things in the human world requires money. What should I do if I don’t have any money?"

"Brother, weren’t the magical beasts I gave you last time enough?"

"No, it’s not enough. I can only exchange one cake for a third-tier magical beast."

"Oh, I see. Then I’ll have them send more magical beasts to you."

"Hong’er, I can’t take any more of your things."

Small Shadiao felt secretly delighted, but he firmly replied. How can I accept a woman’s things?

"Brother, I’m willingly giving them to you. Please accept them."

"Cannot have"

"Brother…"

"A true manly man, if he says no, then it’s a no."

"Brother…"

"Fine, I’ll reluctantly accept it."

After several rounds of back and forth tugging, Small Shadiao finally agreed, and the woman in red clothes smiled happily.

Afterwards, the woman in red clothes walked out of the cave, her expression becoming serious. She said to several giant red birds, "Go inform the fourth-level demon clans in different regions. The King needs to eat, so let them each send three third-level demon beasts."

"Yes, mother"

Several big birds flew away quickly. For the demon race, only those who have reached the fourth rank are able to transform, they are their own kind. Those below the fourth rank are ignorant beasts, only food for them. As the ruler of this area, it is normal for the demon race under him to provide food. It’s just that in the past few months, their king has had a bigger appetite.

Small Shadiao saw this scene and felt extremely happy. This woman in red is not from the human race, but from the demon race. Her true form is a fourth-rank Luan Bird, and she is the Demon King of this area. She has dozens of fourth-rank demon beasts under her command, much stronger than the Heavenly Wolf King from years ago.

"Stupid humans, what’s the benefit of fighting to the death? It’s better to sacrifice a bit of beauty, to have as many prey as I want, hehe."

Small Shadiao said in his heart, and afterwards, he took out a book and started reading. The title on the cover says "The Thirty-Six Strategies for Handsome Men."

Small Shadiao watched eagerly, thinking that humans are generous, showing off such powerful moves to others. He had already learned several of them.

In less than half a day, the corpses of eight third-level demons appeared in the valley. Small Shadiao first swallowed two of them in one gulp, then put them in the bag on his body. Next, he shuffled the bodies of the other demons to make it look like he killed them, and then put them in the storage bag.

"Hong’er, I’m leaving now. I’ll come back to see you after some time."

"Big brother, you’re coming back, right?"

"I will come back, and I’ll bring you beautiful clothes."

Small Shadiao waved his hand and then flew up into the sky.

"This silly bird, it even has the bloodline of the Luan Phoenix, but it’s still being tricked by me. Hehe."

Small Shadiao looked at the storage bag around his waist and looked down on the Luan Bird. It had even transformed and yet it was still wandering in the Wilderness. The human world is much more exciting with delicious food, fun things, and gentle, beautiful fairies to have heart-to-heart talks with.

"Today is a good day…"

Small Shadiao flew and hummed a song while heading towards the Wilderness stronghold.

However, not long after flying, when a huge divine sense swept over him, Small Shadiao’s face changed dramatically. He was about to transform and quickly leave, but then a large net descended from the sky, enveloping him inside.

Small Shadiao was shocked, but he reacted swiftly. Countless wind blades instantly formed to cut the large net.

"You’re really smart."

Before the large net was cut open, a voice sounded, followed by a woman in a green dress appearing in front of Small Shadiao.

"It’s you."

"You still remember me?"

"Let me go! Why are you capturing me?"

"Originally, I didn’t plan on catching you. My target was the Luan Bird King. But when I saw how clever you were, even using a handsome man strategy, I realized you were truly talented. So, I decided to catch you."

Xiao Lingyue smiled and said that she had been hiding in the Wilderness for many years. Life in the Wilderness was tough because there were countless poisonous bugs and fierce beasts, and the cultivators were also very powerful. The most important thing was that she had to avoid being noticed by the Spiritual Moon Sect.

So she had always wanted to tame a monster beast as her beast pet to help her survive in the Wilderness. She set her sights on the Luan Bird King, who was not only very fast but also extremely fierce. If she could make him her beast pet, she would have no problem hiding in the Wilderness.

However, while she was keeping an eye on him, she saw the Small Shadiao appear. And surprisingly, he used a charming tactic to directly lure away the Luan Bird. This was really amazing! She had never seen a monster clan with such high intelligence. It instantly made her excited, and she wanted to make the Small Shadiao her beast pet.

"Why are you trying to capture me? Let me tell you, bird meat doesn’t taste good. It’s sour."

"I won’t eat you."

"And the Aurora Falcon isn’t valuable at all, really."

"Don’t worry, I won’t skin you and sell your bones."

"Ah, you’re interested in my body, aren’t you?"

Small Shadiao suddenly became terrified. The human clan was so scary, they actually wanted to eat his body!

Xiao Lingyue immediately had a frown on her face, wondering what this annoying bird was learning all the time.

"Surrender and become my beast pet."

"No, I already have an owner, and I have a Master-servant Contract inside me."

"Don’t worry, I have a secret method that can forcibly break the Master-servant Contract for you."

Xiao Lingyue shook her head and pounced directly onto Small Shadiao. She didn’t want to waste time talking, she would just capture him first and then slowly erase the contract with the secret method.
