Ran Mingzhu is not the kind of person who never forgets, but his mind is definitely meticulous enough. As early as when she was in the basement of Ouyang's ancient mansion, she had carefully read the map of Yongchuan, the royal city of the Demon Realm, and not only had a certain understanding of the terrain in the entire royal city, but also memorized the names and directions of the streets that were useful for her investigation.

She knew where to buy what she needed, where to find the entrance to the secret passage. That's why she was so careful, she had already calculated that even if she was seen by the residents of the royal city, they would probably think of herself as Xia Qiu, the human blood alliance contractor of the demon king fox.

She successfully found the shop that the owner of the cloak point had told her just now, and sure enough, there were all kinds of lamps for sale, large and small, most of which were made of rattan, and the shape was very delicate and beautiful. There are no other special lighting equipment in the store, but all the lights that are used as goods are lit, and they glow orange next to each other, which makes her feel inexplicably warm in her heart as soon as she steps into this store.

A small and delicate lamp attracted her attention, this lamp looked a little like a small birdcage, and inside hung a small bowl of lamp oil, which was very well designed, and the lamp oil could be detained after being filled, even if it was shaken, it would not overflow, and the mechanism attached to it could be easily opened so that it could be refilled when the lamp oil ran out.

"Little girl, you have a good eye!"

The Winged Demon Boss who was sitting in the corner walked up behind her and said.

When she turned around, she was stunned by the appearance of the boss, the monsters she had seen on the street just now were all bull-headed and horse-faced guys, even if they took on human shapes, most of them wore masks, and some banshees were beautiful but as beautiful as snakes and scorpions. The winged demon was completely different from them, although she was old, she looked more like an angel in her eyes, her beautiful wings with patterns, and the white feathers that naturally grew between her buns, and those emerald green eyes, although the years had covered her face with wrinkles, but it was still difficult to hide her light.

"It's beautiful!" Ran Mingzhu couldn't help but admire.

The winged demon blinked, thinking that this little human girl was praising the lamp she picked up, so she took the lamp in her hand and said, "You see, this lamp can be carried in your hand like this, and it can also be hung on your waist, and the material of this lampshade is very special, even if you touch your skin so closely, you don't have to worry about being burned by it." ”

"Oh? Really! Ran Mingzhu looked at it, and sure enough, there was a small hook on the lamp that was convenient to hang around her waist, but she didn't know where to hang it on herself.

The winged demon put down the lamp in his hand first, then pointed to the cloak in Ran Mingzhu's hand and said, "Come, give it to me!" ”

Ran Mingzhu obediently handed the cloak to the winged demon, and in her eyes she was like a kind grandmother, from her vague childhood memories of her own grandmother's appearance very similar to her.

The winged demon took the cloak and skilfully threaded her onto Ran Mingzhu, then pulled it down, smoothing out the folds on it, and then pointed out the strap of the cloak near her waist.

"You see, this strap can both adjust the tightness of the cloak and hang the lamp on it!" As she spoke, she turned around and picked up the small lamp, and hung it on Ran Mingzhu's waist properly, and then pressed the safety buckle on the buckle, "If you press it lightly, you don't have to worry about it falling!" ”

Ran Mingzhu turned back and forth, and found that no matter how her body swayed, the lamp was still firmly on her waist, and it would not burn her cloak, and she immediately felt the subtlety of this winged demon's design. I immediately decided to buy it, so I asked, "I want this one and wait, how much does it cost?" ”

"I'll give it to you, little girl!" The winged demon said with a smile.

"Why send me?!" Although Ran Mingzhu felt that this winged demon was kind, she didn't dare to give her a gift casually.

"It's rare for someone to appreciate the lamp I made so much, and besides, this lamp is not worth much, so you can take it!" The winged demon replied, and raised his hand to straighten the cloak on Ran Mingzhu's body, "This is not as good as your world, it is full of dangers, be careful yourself!" And the oil in this lamp can burn for a long time, and I will give you a small bottle of lamp oil for later! ”

Ran Mingzhu nodded gratefully, although she had walked out of the store, she was still indescribably moved in her heart. She never thought that she had just come to this place in the demon world, and she would be able to meet kind-hearted people, even in the human world, such warmth is rare.

Leaving the shopping street, she finally found the alley where the Sparrow Hotel was located. At this time, the alley has just become lively, the lights are red and green, the demons are dancing, when the door of each shop is opened, there will be a strong smell of alcohol and the aroma of the woman's body, of course, there is no lack of smell on the male animal, this smell in Ran Mingzhu smelled too chong, and even choked her eyes.

The Sparrow Hotel was at the end of the alley, and she knew that if she wanted to enter the warehouse, she would have to walk through the main entrance and through the lobby. But in this way, it is inevitable to deal with the owner at the front desk, so it is better to pretend to be a guest and find an opportunity to enter the warehouse from the backyard.

She buttoned the hat on her cloak tighter, and then plucked up the courage to push open the door of the hotel, and there were many guests in the lobby who were drinking and talking, and a girl with cat ears noticed her first, and greeted her and asked, "This guest, do you want to stay at the hotel?" ”

Ran Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and responded: "Ah...... Right! Give me a single room! ”

"Okay, come with me to the counter! Register with the shopkeeper first! The cat demon girl smiled and led Mingzhu to the counter, although the guest in front of her was wearing a long cloak and her face was covered by the hat on the cloak, she still smelled that she had a different smell from them, but she had never seen a human, so she couldn't tell what it was.

When the shopkeeper behind the counter saw a guest coming, he asked with a smile on his face, "What room does the guest want?" ”

"Ah, this guest said he wanted a single room......" said the cat demon girl first.

The boss glared at her angrily, and then explained with a smile: "It's really unfortunate, our single rooms here are already full, or the guests come to a suite, the suite is on the third floor, not only the environment is good, the windows are not facing the street, quiet!" If you're sure to stay, I'll get a rich breakfast, what do you think? ”

Ran Mingzhu was bent on moving in quickly, but she didn't have any requirements for what kind of room to stay in, so she nodded and responded: "Okay, just this one!" ”

"How many days do you think you're going to stay?" The innkeeper asked as he registered on the book.

"Just one night...... Oh no, three days! Ran Mingzhu thought that it would be better to stay in this hotel for the time being, and after investigating the secret passages in this hotel, he would have to investigate a few others.

"Okay, three days." After the boss finished writing, he raised his head and asked, "Do you want to pay a deposit first?" ”

"How much deposit is required!" Ran Mingzhu smiled, secretly thinking that the demon world is really the same as the human world, and there are profiteers everywhere.

"At least that's the number." The boss held out three fingers and said.

"That's all I have." Ran Mingzhu took out the largest piece of silver in his pocket and put it on the counter.

"Enough is enough, two more days of breakfast for you!" The boss smiled and weighed the silver in his hand, and then carefully put it away.

"Xiaohua, take the guests to the room, three hundred and six on the third floor." The boss ordered the cat demon girl, and his tone seemed to be a different person.

"Yes!" The cat demon girl turned back to Ran Mingzhu and said, "Please come with me!" ”

Ran Mingzhu followed the cat demon girl up to the third floor, turned left, and came to room 306.

"Actually, you just gave your boss too much money...... If you're going to stay here in the future, don't give so much. I can't remind you in front of my boss just now, I'm so sorry. The cat demon girl stuck out her tongue and took the key from her waist to open the door of the room.

Ran Mingzhu saw the girl's fear of the boss, shrugged her shoulders indifferently as she walked into the room, and said, "Thank you!" ”

"Then I'm leaving, if you need anything, you can call me at any time, my name is Yu Xiaohua, you can call me Xiaohua!" The cat demon girl smiled and turned around to leave.

Ran Mingzhu grabbed her, dragged her into the house, and closed the door casually, she didn't know why she felt that this cat demon girl was trustworthy, maybe it was her kind reminder, or her clear eyes.

She took out a small piece of silver from her pocket and stuffed it into her and said, "Little flower, can you do me a favor?" ”

"Help?! Yes, but I can't accept this! The cat demon girl shook her head, ready to return the silver.

But Mingzhu pushed her outstretched hand back and said, "I want to go to the warehouse in the backyard to find something, but there seems to be someone at the counter all the time, isn't it?" Can you tell me about the safest time to go to the backyard? ”

"Yes, yes, but what are you doing in that warehouse? It was dirty and broken, and it was full of the boss's. The cat demon girl asked curiously.

"You don't care about it, it's not good for you to know too much."

"Well, well! When the guests are all gone, and the boss is almost time to rest, how about I call you? You'll be able to enter the warehouse without any problems. The cat demon girl still put the silver back in Ran Mingzhu's hand, and then left.

Ran Mingzhu could finally take off the cloak hat that was attached to the top of her head, and breathe well, her hair and forehead were already covered with beads of sweat.

She looked around the suite, the living room was very small and windowless, and the bedroom inside was very spacious, but unfortunately the windows were still small. The floor and the bed look fairly clean, presumably it was cleaned by the cat demon girl named Yu Xiaohua just now, she wondered why the girl would stay in such a black shop to work, the boss was not only bad-hearted, but also very fierce, if she was afraid she wouldn't be able to endure it for a day. But what made her even more puzzled was that the cat demon girl obviously looked shabby, but she was surprisingly backbone, and refused to accept her favor.

She lay down on the bed with her clothes and took out the diary of her father that she had with her, which was densely covered with her father's handwriting, and looking at them was like seeing her father's figure. In the mezzanine of the diary cover, she stuffed a group photo of her parents, which she took out of the photo album at home, in which her father was smiling, but he looked thoughtful, and she guessed that his father must be worried about her aunt's affairs.
