Chapter Twenty-Six: First Acquaintance with Little Eggplant
Lan Yao was very angry, she had never been so resentful that she had never cultivated mana, if she knew a little more mana, at least she would be able to escape the clutches of the red dome. How could he be like now, doing the work of watering flowers and grass, and turning into a fox at night to be a pillow for him! She felt aggrieved.
In the past, when Lan Yao was a little demon fox, even though there were not many maids in the whole palace, as the king's pet, she was naturally carefully taken care of. Every day, when Chiqiong went out to run errands, she would be carried by the maid and come to a hot spring next to the palace to take a bath. After she enjoyed the hot springs comfortably, the maid would take a mat and put her on it, first dry her hair with a spell, and then use a comb to slowly comb her fluffy hair, combing and pressing, rejuvenating her shins, very happy. Then she would be taken back to the palace, and in a short time a bowl of clean, sweet nectar would be placed on her lips, and sometimes she would eat it herself, and sometimes she would be too lazy to move, and the maid would take a small spoon and feed it one bite at a time. So in fact, this hundred years of pillow life is very happy and free, because she is just a little demon fox who can't transform, and because it is just a soft pillow.
But now, she will transform into a human, and Chiqiong said that since she wanted to serve on the side so much, she dismissed the maids in the palace and left her alone to clean the huge palace! Because she didn't know how to spell, she could only clean every corner of the palace by hand. In the evening, she has to carry a small straw hat and scissors, and carefully take care of the garden.
At this moment, Lan Yao is doing these things, the more she thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, the more uncomfortable she becomes, the scissors are so strong that she prunes them indiscriminately. "Ah, you cut my hair." Lan Yao heard the voice, hurriedly dropped the scissors, she saw this flower and grass, and she could speak. "Can you speak?" She knew that everything in this demon realm had souls, but because of insufficient cultivation, most of them couldn't speak.
"Of course, I'm so much older than you, and you can transform into a human, why can't I speak?" The bouquet of flowers and plants shook proudly as she spoke, looking from afar, like a bouquet of flowers and plants that had been pumped by the wind, messy in the wind.
"And how old are you?" Lan Yao asked, after all, this red dome never said much to her, every day she felt bored, it was rare to have a flower and plant to chat with her, it was also excellent.
"I'm many, many, many years old." The flowers and plants proudly said that the head was raised high, facing the sun's rays.
It's over, this guy doesn't count well, Lan Yao said secretly, so she kindly changed the subject: "Then have you seen what Chiqiong looked like when he was a child?" ”
"Who is the Red Dome?" The grass wondered.
"It's our king." Lan Yao agreed, it seems that it is not only not good at counting, but also has a low IQ.
"Oh, it turns out that kid's name is this, I feel that he is demonic, I always thought he was called enchanting!" The flower and grass said disdainfully, Lan Yao felt very surprised, in this demon world, there are still demons who are not afraid of the red dome at all, it is really rare.
"Have you seen that?" She asked.
"Of course, I can even see the way he runs bare-ass." Hua Cao replied, and then said to herself: "I also know that he is a heartless person, and you are the demon who has been with him for the longest time except for the coquettish dragon." He is ruthless, there were many maids in this palace before, all of them were all kinds of beauties, these beauties came in, they were also ill-intentioned, they all wanted to climb onto the dragon bed, and when he caught one, he threw one out, and when he caught one, he threw out one, and when he caught one, he threw out one, and the maids who were thrown out of the palace were all blocked by the enchantment and could not enter again, so this originally lively palace, there were only a few maids left who kept to themselves, alas, the sporadic ones did not look like the palace of the demon world. Now you'll transform into a human, and you're only left with the three of you moving demons in the whole palace, which is really boring. "The flowers and plants sighed, when the people were prosperous, it always liked to quietly listen to gossip and anecdotes, and it felt so lively, since the reduction of maids, its demon fun was gone.
"Don't be sad, it's a big deal that I'll come to talk to you every day in the future." Lan Yao touched its head and said.
"You don't know more than I do, it's a shame to talk to you." Huacao turned around as she spoke, intending to ignore Lan Yan anymore.
"That'······ If I have a chance to go out with the Red Dome, how about I take you with me? Lan Yao asked softly, for fear that the flowers and plants would be unhappy.
"Really?" The flower and grass measured its body a little, if it had eyes, Lan Yao thought that those eyes must be tilting towards themselves at the moment, looking arrogant, it was really funny, she couldn't help laughing.
"Really." As a result, she smiled, and the flowers and plants were motionless.
It seemed like a century had passed, and Hua Cao finally shook her body and slowly responded, "That's good, you come to me every day to report and talk to me, my name is tomato scrambled eggs." ”
"What?! Your name is tomato scrambled eggs, what's that name? ”
"Hmph, I heard a maid who has been to the human world say that scrambled eggs with tomatoes are delicious in the world, so I am so sweet, it is delicious in the demon world, and naturally this name is worthy of me." The flowers and plants swayed their bodies and became triumphant.
"The name is too long, it's not easy to call, how about I call you little eggplant?"
"Yes, I'm ready." Little Eggplant thought about it carefully, and felt that the name seemed to be good, so he agreed.
"My name is Lan Yao." This time it was her turn to introduce herself.
"I see." The little eggplant remembered the name, and said after a while, "Don't laugh easily in the future, I feel more charming than that kid, I used to hear other maids say that too beautiful demons will not end well." ”
"Am I pretty?" Lan Yao didn't know what her face looked like, and since she came back, she hadn't looked in the mirror, and the hot spring was even more smoky, where could she see her appearance clearly.
"I don't know if you're pretty, anyway, you're the most beautiful of all the banshees I've ever seen." The little eggplant replied truthfully, in addition to being a little tsundere, it was actually really good, and it was kindly reminding its friends.
"Okay, then I'll try not to laugh in the future." Lan Yao also understood Little Eggplant's thoughts.
"But—" The little eggplant turned suddenly, and she pricked up her ears and listened carefully, after all, the little eggplant was older than herself, and she was more knowledgeable. "If you that kid off, smile at him."
"Why?"
"Because I heard those maids say that heroes have been sad about the beauty pass since ancient times, and in order to win a smile from the beauty, they have not hesitated to go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire. I expect that your smile should save you a lot of punishment. The little eggplant is selflessly dedicating its knowledge to Lan Yao.
"Okay." Lan Yao plans to try it tonight.
"Then you go, I'm tired today, I'm going to sleep, and you won't be allowed to cut my hair again next time." The little eggplant waved its leaves, as if driving Lan Xiao. Lan Yao understood, picked up the scissors on the ground, and walked away gently.
