Chapter 2: The Monarch of Fire
Sure enough, it was still a quiet black that suited me, and I looked at my slender self in the mirror and finally felt a little satisfied.
"Oh, dear Your Highness, your outfit today is so perfect, Spotted loves it." Just as I was immersed in self-appreciation, an obnoxious voice came over. If it weren't for the teller of the fashion store standing next to me, if it weren't for the need to maintain the proper upbringing in a public place, I would have kicked the spotted deer against the wall without hesitation.
"Don't let me see the damn yellow again." I kicked him in the face anyway and kicked the yellow running shoes I had just changed into his face.
"Your Highness...... Spotted wrong...... Woo woo woo ...... "Spotted deer hugged those shoes and pretended to be innocent, and almost knelt down in front of me right away.
"If you have the ability, you will cry two tears." Demons don't have tears, so the spotted deer, who has always imitated human emotions, can only pretend.
"Your Highness, woo woo, you know that Spotted is not ......" He continued to raise his head and cry in front of me, and even the teller who came by began to look at him with an incomprehensible look. The teller presented me with a crystal tray filled with my favorite accessories, I picked out a white pearl pin to pin my neckline, and picked up a very thin black leather watch to wear on my left hand.
"If you exaggerate your mouth a little more, the fangs should be exposed." I reminded the spotted deer faintly.
"Hmm......" Banlu immediately covered his mouth and stopped his exaggerated expression. He is not a high-level humanoid demon who has been thoroughly purified like me, and his human form is not stable enough, and he is only maintained by the elixir of the underworld. In other words, if he doesn't take the pill once a day, he will revert back to his demonic formβa Cerberus that bears a 99 percent resemblance to a pit bull.
"And nails." I looked at his long nails in the mirror, and at the moment it would be better to describe it as a claw, he was always uncontrollable when he was excited.
"Ah......h
"Go to the top and wait for me." Seeing that he wouldn't last long and would be revealed, I reminded him to leave first.
"Yes, Your Highness." He looked around the mall vigilantly, and after speaking, he ran away and disappeared, probably hiding in a corner to take medicine.
As expected, I arrived at the racecourse on time and went to an appointment with my nemesis. If it weren't for the annual appointment, I would hardly have remembered that there was such a demon as him in the world. Although I was annoying, I had to admit that he was more thoroughly purified than me, and there was almost no residual demon form in his humanoid body, and the only thing that could tell me that he was a demon was the demon spots on his body. Devil spots are marks that distinguish the strength and weakness of our demons, similar to human tattoos, and the fewer the star angles of the demon spots, the stronger they are. My demon spot behind my ears is a black six-pointed star symbol, and the long back of the crane is a five-pointed star, and the five-pointed star mark indicates that he is the highest rank among the demons. Human beings always pursue the realm of spirit and soul and think that the ultimate liberation is to transcend *, but we demons know that only the three bodies of spirit, soul and body are truly perfect, so only we who have two bodies of spirit and soul chase after what human beings disdain*. Bohe and I both came to the world to accomplish this mission.
"Oh, dogs, it's still on time as always." He rode twice and saw me standing outside the fence and immediately led the horse and came over, leaving a woman in a beige riding costume to run around the field alone.
"Do you want to ride two laps together?" He handed me the whip, but I hesitated and didn't take it. The crane shrugged his shoulders and climbed over the fence of the racecourse, and unconsciously climbed onto my shoulder.
He pretended to glance back at the demon spot behind my ear, and when he saw that it was still the mark of the six-pointed star, he smiled smugly and said to me, "Our Thunder Monarch's little tail hasn't degraded yet?" β
The pentagram on his body indicates that he has taken on a fully humanoid form, with each star horn representing a human head and limbs. If he is purified into a four-pointed star and a three-star star, he will be qualified to be ranked among the seven fallen angels of the underworld, and he will be in charge of the order of the underworld together with the seven fallen heavens, of course, this is almost impossible. For thousands of years, there has not been a matter of elevation from demons to rulers in the demon world, although the seven fallen angels are fallen angels, they are truly created by God, they are born rulers, and there is an essential difference between us and our demons who have no gender. After the fall of the Seraphic Angel Lucifer, he broke off his black right wing, and the countless wings that fell turned into tens of millions of incarnations in the underworld before creating the demon. We are the product of His Fall, and exist as forces of evil only to bring out God's absolute justice and perfection.
"It seems that the Fire Monarch still wants to be kicked back to the Fire Valley once today." In the underworld, except for the seven fallen angels who are in charge of the demon order, it is occupied by two demon families, one is me and the other is the crane. Three hundred years ago, he had just purified into a fifth-level demon in full human form, and he tried to annex my territory when he thought that he had become the strongest demon in the underworld except for the seven fallen angels, and he was defeated by me who was still at the sixth-level stage.
"You really can't afford to joke, but I can't blame you, a sixth-level demon who hasn't turned into a completely humanoid form can't experience the joy of being a fifth-level demon." When he said it, he deliberately accentuated the word five levels, and his flaunting personality was as flamboyant as his fiery red hair, which made me inexplicably irritable no matter how I looked at it.
"You don't have to stress how perfect you are, you will always have only one identity in my eyes."
"What is it?" He flicked his curly red hair, and there was anticipation in his eyes, people usually like to listen to their opponents say something about themselves, and the same is true of demons.
"Mean Servant." I took off my silver sunglasses and looked at him, trying to see his disappointment more clearly. But it didn't mean to get angry at all, and after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Not bad...... It is true that my humble background cannot be compared with the noble background of His Royal Highness Inuma, I at least know that I am the embodiment of the fire feather on the right wing of Abaddon, and you don't even know where you come from! β
My origins have always been a taboo subject in the underworld, and one of the Seven Fallen Angels, Shaliyeh, does not allow any demon to ask anything about my origins, and the more this happens, the more rumors circulate that I am the shadow of the fallen angel Lucifer, the king of hell, and that I am a demon created by Lucifer with his pure spiritual energy. After Lord Shaliye raised me, he simply told me not to believe any kind of rumors, and that one day the truth would be revealed.
"Shut up." With the purple arc of lightning forming in my hand, I landed a punch on the corner of his mouth.
"Your lightning bolts are just enough to tickle me." He twisted his neck and pinched his mouth, unconcerned about my attack.
"Then try this again!" I gathered lightning again in my hand and threw a spear-shaped purple arc. This attack is much more powerful than the Electro Arrow and can penetrate the target.
"Use the Arc Spear against me? At the very least, you should use your Thor's mallet to deal damage. "The purple spear of light was effortlessly blocked by him, and despite his repeated provocative words, he had no desire to engage me immediately.
"Then it will be as you wish, if you don't mind me razing your horse farm to the ground." Soon there were dark clouds over the racecourse, and he looked up at the sky and knew that I was really angry.
"Why are you so serious, okay, okay, don't play, I admit defeat. Let's go, go in and have a drink. The crane pursed his lips and whistled at the woman riding in the horse farm, and invited warmly: "Miss Yu, would you mind having a drink with my friend?" "Bohe is a person who is very good at enjoying human life, and every year when I meet him, there is always a beautiful woman by his side. But none of these women were the people he was looking for, they could only be regarded as his playmates when he was bored. If he finds the person he is looking for, he will hide her first, and he will never bring her to me.
"Who is she?" Only then did I notice this woman walking towards us, but she couldn't see it from too far away, but just by looking at her figure, she knew that she was definitely a stunner.
"An international student who has just returned to China is very special." The two of us walked into the lounge side by side, chatting with each other.
"How long are you going to play this time?"
"This woman is difficult to chase, and she doesn't want to send cars, houses, or jewelry, so she is still in the stage of cultivating feelings." Bo He frowned and seemed to have a headache, women like money and jewelry, and he could use them to capture them every time, but this person he called Miss Yu seemed to be an exception.
"And the woman you can't handle?" It's really relieving to hear him, this wild and uninhibited red-haired boy is finally going to be planted in the hands of humans for once.
"Of course you have, aren't you?" It wasn't the first time he'd said something like this in front of me, so I didn't feel anything when I heard it.
"It's okay for your face to scourge humans, it's too far from the type I like." There is no gender in the world of demons, and before he and I came to the world, neither of us could see the gender, so no matter how handsome and perfect he was, he would not tempt me, and the woman he was referring to was just a disguised gender that I chose at random. In fact, it's not entirely random, before coming to the world, the crane took the lead in choosing a male identity, and as an opponent, of course, he had to choose a female identity that was the opposite of him.
"Oh? Will dogs and horses also have a favorite type? How come I've never heard of you? "It's like discovering a new world, he understands that I don't like to have contact with people, and I have hardly had a friend to eat with in the thirty years since I came to the world, let alone what kind of person I like.
"Of course, I just discovered one today." As I spoke, I thought of the woman on the subway again, she was really like a pearl in the world to me.
"Did you find someone with the Spirit of Light?" The Crane's tone became tense, if I find a human with a pure soul to fuse with him first, then my power will soon surpass him, and after returning to the underworld, I will become his master. This is the real purpose of our annual meeting, to test and compete with each other.
"Not yet, what about you?" When I walked inside, I picked a corner spot and sat down.
"Why should I sue you? What if you want to grab it from me? "He's very guarded about me at this point.
"That's for sure."
"You also rob women?"
I nodded and did not deny that only one human in the Spirit of Light would appear in hundreds of years, and if he really found that candidate first, I would definitely grab it without hesitation; In the same way, if I had found him first, I would have done the same. We've all put enough eyeliner in each other's human camps.
"Don't you know that there is an inherent law of human beings that only men and women can be united?"
"Inherentness is just a norm that has existed for a long time, and it does not mean that it is correct or that it cannot be broken and reformulated."
"You've been in the world for thirty years and you're still using the demon's way of thinking, you're really stubborn......"
"It is you who have been corrupted by the human mind, just as your body has been polluted by a woman." After speaking, I looked down at the time, and vaguely smelled a fragrant fragrance of lavender, and without looking up, I had already guessed that it was a friend of Bohe, the woman surnamed Yu came over.
"Fred, what are you talking about with your friends?" Fred, the English name of the crane in the world, a disgusting code name.
"I'm talking about you. Let me introduce you, this is my good friend Gong Yeqi. Ye Qi, this is Miss Yu Jingxi, who has just returned from studying in Australia. Come, Miss Yu, sit down and talk. "Gong Yeqi, my name in the world, a cold name was suddenly called so affectionately by the crane, it's really annoying.
The crane walked over to greet her attentively, took the red wine from her hand, and wrapped one hand around her waist. I sighed, and then lazily propped up a hand and tilted my head to look at this Miss Yu. She sat across from me and waited to see her face clearly, and my mind suddenly lost a clue, how could it be so coincidental that she looked seven or eight points similar to the woman on the subway.
"Hello, Miss Gong, I heard about your qmfinanialgroup when I was abroad, but I didn't expect you to be so young." The name Gong Yeqi should surprise her, in a society with highly developed information, people know Gong Yeqi the most, that is, she is the owner of the QM consortium.
"I never shake hands." Miss Yu politely extended her hand to me, but unfortunately I was politely refused.
"Well, Yeqi is a bit of a cleanliness fetish, and she doesn't like to have physical contact with people." In order not to embarrass his beloved Miss Yu, Bo He hurriedly came out to play the round, but Miss Yu didn't seem to listen to his words, just stared straight at me.
"What, is there anything on my face? Miss Yu saw that she was so engaged. I still maintained an indifferent attitude, and by the way, I also activated the evil eye to penetrate her heart, and she was now nervous, curious, and a little dissatisfied.
"Nope." She smiled reluctantly, retracting her thoughts.
"Here, let's have a drink first." The crane poured the wine and handed it to me, and after clinking glasses, the three of us fell silent.
