Chapitre 276: 2
Long Yao's simple and crude proposal to bring Gou Liang back to the Demon Race was clearly unrealistic.
The Human Race had an unspoken rule of offering 99% of the human race as tribute to the Demon Race's royal family. This was to ensure that the SS and SSS ranked royal family members who were full of uncontrollable factors would not easily step into the Human Race's society and cause irreparable consequences. However, this was not something that could be put on the table. In the eyes of Gou Liang and these guardians, there was only the concept of the Demon Race sending demons to the Human Race.
Long Yi hastily coughed and said, "Master, if you say this, you will scare the Human Race."
Fearing that his unscrupulous master would say something even more shocking, he directly pulled up Gou Liang's banner.
The quality of the spiritual qi of the frightened Human Race would plummet. Long Yao slightly frowned and leaned closer to Gou Liang to smell him again. The delicious food that had not gone bad made his mood quite good. However, in order to not let Long Yi's hypothesis become reality, he didn't say anything. He merely hugged Gou Liang's hand and didn't let go. He was full of possessiveness.
Long Yi showed an apologetic smile to Gou Liang, hinting him to endure a little. Then, he quickly took the guardian service contract and handed it over to Gou Liang.
Although the other party's status was noble, Gou Liang didn't blindly sign the contract. He took the contract and carefully read it.
Originally, Long Yao was not interested in these things, but this time, he put his head on Gou Liang's shoulder and followed him to read the complicated clauses. His comfortable appearance was docile and harmless, making the people in the reception group almost think that the distinguished guest who was constantly giving them the cold shoulder a few days ago was not the one in front of them.
Until he saw one of the clauses, Long Yao stopped smiling.
Pointing at the contract, Long Yao directly said, "One year of service is too short, change it. He must belong to me for the rest of his life and only serve me. "
"This … …"
Long Yi also didn't feel that this request was a big deal. Merely, this kind of matter had to be privately negotiated with the leader of the Human Race. His master saying it out loud like this was not good.
After all, the contract between the human race and the demon race was there. Didn't you see that the faces of the people in the reception group changed?
Merely, he saw that Long Yao's complexion was normal, and his pair of dark red eyes were quiet. Long Yi who had dared to say that his master was rude didn't dare to point out the inappropriateness of his words, fearing that he would really get angry.
Fortunately, Gou Liang had more ways to deal with Long Yao than he did. He patted the back of Long Yao's hand and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that won't work. If you don't get a residence permit, you'll have to leave the human race in a year. "
Long Yao snorted, disapproving of the so-called rules.
Gou Liang: "However, I will let you pass smoothly. This is my job. As for the future, let's talk about it later, okay? "
Long Yao could tell that Gou Liang did not agree with his previous request. He also knew that Gou Liang was rejecting him in disguise. Although he was unhappy, he thought that he would have the final say in the future. It was rare for him to be so peaceful and not argue with Gou Liang.
Long Yi secretly sweated for this ignorant little human.
Although Long Yao had just reached adulthood, he was the next king of the Demon Race. Because his pure-blooded demon power didn't have sufficient spiritual power to complement it, he would go berserk. Even the current Demon King was unable to control him. Saying that Long Yao's danger level was SSS level was an underestimation. If he went berserk, the entire Demon Race would have to tuck their tails between their legs and lower their sense of existence in front of him.
The last demon that refuted him was still hugging itself tightly and eating dirt at this moment. Thinking that it would eventually starve to death one day, the demons secretly vowed not to be the second stupid person.
At this moment, seeing Gou Liang safe and sound, and even a trace of a smile on Long Yao's face, Long Yi revered Gou Liang very much.
— — Worthy of being the food that his master "fell in love with at first sight"!
After smoothly signing the guardianship agreement, Gou Liang brought Long Yao back to his home.
While driving, Gou Liang refused Long Yao's physical contact and reasoned with him, "A human's spiritual power storage is limited. Excessive loss will affect my health and the quality of my spiritual power. Moreover, overeating is not a good thing."
Long Yao, who was refused to be fed, was depressed all the way until he heard Gou Liang ask him, "Are you hungry?" His eyes suddenly regained their luster and he stared at Gou Liang with a burning gaze.
Gou Liang couldn't help but laugh. Long Yao was just like a spoiled big dog. He couldn't help but soften his heart and raise his hand to rub Long Yao's head. However, his mouth cruelly said, "Do you want to try human food? I'll make it for you. "
Long Yao looked somewhat reluctantly at his hand that was retracted. Hearing this, his originally not very good complexion became even worse.
"This is also your job. Have you also made it for the people you served before?"
Although he didn't have any thoughts about human food, when he thought about how Gou Liang had also made such an invitation to other demons and was just as attentive and gentle to them, he didn't know why he felt a little irritable in his heart.
Gou Liang laughed out loud, "You're very much like a child who's fighting over a toy with others … Okay, don't glare at me. Although I've always been very responsible for my work, not everyone can eat the food that I personally make. You're the first. "
Long Yao looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't believe his words. However, the corners of his mouth that were originally pursed slightly raised revealed his good mood.
After entering the living room, Gou Liang took off his jacket and took off his watch as he said, "Later, you can watch TV in the living room for a while. If you want to do anything else, please feel free. I'll go to the kitchen to cook … Right, do you know how to use multimedia?"
He was an experienced driver who had personally taught Bi Xia to adapt to new students. This kind of thing was very easy for him. When he asked the question, there was even a little bit of expectation in his eyes.
However, if he wanted to hold Long Yao's hand and accompany him as a baby learning to walk, Gou Liang was destined to be disappointed.
Although the living habits of the demons on the other side of the enchantment were poles apart from that of humans, as a member of the royal family, Long Yao was no stranger to human society's technology.
Without needing Gou Liang to explain further, Long Yao easily found the switch. Even if he wasn't familiar with it, he quickly grasped the various functions and easily selected the programs.
Gou Liang put away the regret in his heart and praised him with a smile, "You're really smart. I just changed the decorations here, and the functions of the appliances have been updated. I'm still adapting. Wait a moment, I'll call you when it's time to eat. "
Gou Liang rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen. He washed his hands and began to prepare the ingredients. Soon, the aroma of food spread out.
Long Yao suddenly pushed open the kitchen door and walked towards him. Gou Liang turned around and asked him, "Why are you here?"
Long Yao's brows furrowed. He didn't know if it was because he was left out in the living room, but his mood fell to the bottom without any warning. Gou Liang was just about to ask him, but he saw him take two steps forward and hug him tightly from behind. He buried his head in his neck and took a deep breath before saying in a muffled voice, "I don't like other scents covering your fragrance."
… To think that Gou Liang had thought that he was attracted by his own skills.
Gou Liang raised his eyebrows, raised his right hand and waved it. He asked curiously, "You can still smell me?"
He had put on his ring again when he left the hotel. It should have blocked Long Yao's sense of smell.
"It's a lot fainter. I don't like it."
Long Yao looked at his ring with dissatisfaction. He didn't hide his disgust for this tool at all. However, Long Yi had specially explained to him that if he took off this thing, Gou Liang's scent would be smelled by other demonic beasts and demons, and then he would be coveted.
Although no one could steal his food from Long Yao's hands, he similarly couldn't stand Gou Liang being smelled by other demons. Thus, he resisted the urge to destroy his ring.
Gou Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Only children always say yes or no. You have to learn to get used to it."
"I don't want."
"Haha, truly childish."
"Can't I?"
Long Yao copied his previous appearance and raised his eyebrows.
"En … … Of course you can." Gou Liang held back his trembling laughter. His eyes were full of smiles as he said, "I like it. You're very cute like this."
Long Yao didn't appreciate his praise at all. He coldly snorted and suddenly pulled off Gou Liang's apron. He used his strength to wrinkle his shirt and whispered in his ear, "I don't like the smell of clothes. I really want to strip you naked and taste you without any obstruction."
Gou Liang's entire body trembled. He didn't know if it was because of the magnetic voice or the warm breath in his ear, but his ear trembled and turned red. It was so itchy that he wanted to raise his hand to scratch it.
Bending his elbow to push Long Yao away, Gou Liang imposingly glared at him. Then, he said in a good mood, "Fine, you've already made me have a whole new level of respect for you. I apologize to you. I won't use such immature words like cute to describe you again, okay, Mr. Yao? "
Long Yao stared at Gou Liang's red ears a few times. He didn't know why, but his mood suddenly became better. He didn't find the human food in the pot that Gou Liang had carefully cooked to be an eyesore anymore. He leaned on his shoulder and said, "It's good that you know."
Gou Liang saw that he didn't plan on letting him go and didn't push him away. He put the seasoning in the pot while helplessly saying, "You're too clingy. What should I do? I'm worried that I'll be the first guardian in history to be sucked dry by a little demon."
His tone was joking. Long Yao didn't care and only said, "Do you think I'm a low level demon that can't even control what I eat?"
This made Gou Liang a bit surprised. In the original owner's memories, even the S-rank noble demons that he had once protected couldn't control what they ate. As soon as they touched a human, they would eat.
"This shows that I haven't lived long enough. My knowledge is too little. Many thanks for Mr. Yao's advice."
Gou Liang said with a smile.
Long Yao said straightforwardly: "Long Yi said you are 29 years old, you have already lived past one third of a human's lifespan."
Speaking of this, he became irritable. The lifespan of a human was too short.
Gou Liang stopped tasting and put the spoon aside. He pushed Long Yao away, turned around, and looked at him with a smile. "You mean, I'm very old, huh?"
Long Yao didn't know why, but he felt a chill on his back, but his mouth was a step faster, "Long Yi said, only the women of human race care about other people talking about their age."
"So, not only am I very old, but I also look like a woman. Is that so, Mr. Yao? "
Gou Liang smiled even more warmly.
Long Yao: "…"
At this time, he seemed to have opened up the Ren and Du meridians in his body. Without a teacher, he learned how to smile sincerely. He said, "Is it too late for me to admit my mistake now?"
Gou Liang chuckled, "You really are very smart. Now I don't have to worry about your residence permit exam."
Long Yao saw his cloudy face had cleared up, and inexplicably relaxed in his heart.
No wonder his mother had said that no matter how big of a mistake he made, as long as he smiled, there was no woman who wouldn't forgive him and yield to him.
"Oh, so it's also useful for men."
"En? What did you say? "
Gou Liang didn't hear clearly.
Long Yao very cleverly didn't answer, and Gou Liang also didn't ask. He beckoned him over to taste the food, and asked him with a smile, "Is it delicious?"
Long Yao became absent-minded for a moment when he saw his smile, as if he had heard someone ask him this question with a smile.
[Ding, target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: 75!]
He didn't say anything for a while and only nodded. When Gou Liang had him try something else, his attention returned to the food of the human race.
The yao race's sense of taste was a thousand times more sensitive than that of humans. Even the slightest flaw couldn't be hidden from them. Even the work of a seven star chef could barely be swallowed in their mouths, so the yao race didn't eat human food unless it was necessary. But Gou Liang's cooking greatly surprised Long Yao. The rich and fragrant taste exploded in his taste buds, and even he couldn't find fault with the soft texture. What surprised him even more was …
"What is this? It's rich in spiritual energy, and it's very abundant."
It even had more spiritual energy than the spirit herbs and spirit beasts carefully cultivated by the yao race.
In a situation where spiritual energy was so scarce that the yao race could only obtain spiritual energy from humans, any plant or animal that contained spiritual energy could be called a national treasure. Gou Liang had casually used it to cook … Perhaps even the leader of the human race couldn't do this.
Gou Liang's movements paused, and he was secretly annoyed.
He blamed his husband for indulging him too much, so he was completely unguarded in front of him. The previous few missions had gone too smoothly, so he had let down his guard. He had casually taken out ingredients from the system space without even thinking about how to explain where they came from.
Before he could think of an excuse, Long Yao said indifferently, "Forget it, this thing is good. Eat more and get fatter."
Gou Liang was speechless. "How come I've never heard that the taste of fatty's spiritual energy is better?"
Long Yao hugged him again, smiling like a sunny youth, but his tone was like an electric current running through the old man's body. "Aren't you afraid that I'll squeeze you dry? Eat more to nourish your body."
Gou Liang was defeated. He shook his head with a smile and didn't continue to argue with him.
After dinner, Gou Liang took Long Yao out for a walk to help with digestion and familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.
The house Gou Liang was living in now was considered an employee dormitory. This high-end residential area, where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, was occupied by three top guardian agencies, including his own agency. The residents were all people with special professions and were their customers, so when they saw Gou Liang with a new face, they understood what was going on.
As Gou Liang walked, many people greeted him and asked about Long Yao's situation. Gou Liang only said, "This is Yao. He just came of age this year, so he's still not familiar with this place. In the future, please take care of my child."
Long Yao asked him in a low voice, "I'm already 100 years old. If you say I'm a child, then what are you?"
Gou Liang glanced at him. "Didn't you despise me for being old?"
He didn't wait for Long Yao to deny it and laughed first. Then he sighed and said, "According to human age, you're barely 18 years old. At your age, you should be calling me uncle."
Looking at his worried expression, Long Yao didn't know why, but he wanted to laugh. Just as he was about to say something, a woman walked over with a little girl.
As soon as they got close, the little girl threw herself at Gou Liang and hugged his leg. "Uncle Xiao Do!"
Her guardian quickened his pace and said to Gou Liang with a smile, "Xiao Do, you're still so popular with little girls." Then they heard a cold voice.
"Let him go."
Only then did the little girl notice Long Yao beside Gou Liang. She didn't care at first, but when she saw Gou Liang's leg, her pupils shrank. She suddenly let go of Gou Liang's leg and said with a pale face, "Wang, Wang …"
The little girl's dark red eyes narrowed slightly. She understood that he didn't want to reveal his identity and gulped. "You, you, good night."
She stuttered for a moment before finally saying a more normal greeting.
Gou Liang took Long Yao's hand and said gently, "Don't scare the little girl."
"Pfft." Long Yao sneered, "What kind of little girl is a six hundred year old fox spirit? She still has the nerve to call you uncle."
Gou Liang: "… …"
He tried hard to hold back his laughter, but other than him, no one else felt that the atmosphere was funny. The "little girl"'s face became even paler. She said in a panic, "I, this little demon has offended you. Please punish me."
Even in human society, the demon race's strict hierarchy wouldn't change because of location, let alone facing the demon race's famous violent royal family.
Long Yao wanted to use this as a pretext to make a fuss. When he thought about how this fox spirit hugged Gou Liang's leg and how Gou Liang smiled at her, he was filled with displeasure. At this time, he felt his palm being gently scratched. Long Yao turned his head and saw Gou Liang smiling at him under the street lamp. His expression unconsciously softened. He held Gou Liang's hand tightly. Those things that made him violent suddenly became insignificant.
It was really strange. Ever since he was born, the clan had used all kinds of methods to alleviate his violence. They could only send him to the human race after he became an adult and use the human world contract to suppress his pure-blooded demon power and weaken his symptoms. Gou Liang easily did it.
"Scram. Remember, don't come within ten meters of him next time. He's mine."
As Long Yao spoke, he pulled Gou Liang closer to him. He looked at the fox spirit with an indescribable sense of pride.
Was the king showing off?
The fox spirit was shocked, but she didn't dare to be disobedient. After thanking Long Yao for not punishing her, she hurriedly left with her guardian.
Her guardian, who was Gou Liang's colleague, Xiao Qiu, still wanted to ask him about something. When he looked back at Gou Liang, he saw that the person he was serving this time had one hand on Gou Liang's shoulder and the other hand was holding Gou Liang's hand. The tall demon leaned over and lowered his head to stare at Gou Liang. She didn't know what they were talking about, but both man and demon were laughing.
Wasn't this eating posture a bit … ambiguous?
She quickly threw this thought to the back of her mind. One must know that one of the reasons why Gou Liang's golden signboard stood tall was because he never had any emotional entanglements with the people he served. If he still wanted to stay in this line of work, this dangerous demon would not be an exception.
On the other side, Long Yao was asking Gou Liang, "Why do they call you Xiao Do? Do you have many names?"
He was a bit dissatisfied with the fact that everyone else knew but he didn't.
Gou Liang shook his head. It was unknown what he thought of, but he smiled and said with a bit of annoyance, "Isn't my name Liu Mao? When I first started working, the head of our firm couldn't straighten his tongue and always called me Xiao Niu Xiao Niu. My colleagues always used this to make fun of me. Later on, I got this nickname."
"Oh, why?"
Long Yao still didn't catch the essence of his words.
"Sorry, I didn't explain it clearly. The human race has an idiom called 'as many as the hairs on a cow'. It means … "
Gou Liang patiently explained. The two continued to walk in the small park. The late autumn wind rustled the red maple leaves that were about to fall. A leaf gently fell down and landed on Gou Liang's hair.
Gou Liang took down the maple leaf. Only then did he notice that Long Yao was looking at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?"
Long Yao's heart was unprecedentedly calm. It was clearly his first time meeting Gou Liang today, but he felt that this person had been by his side for a long time.
Hearing this, he revealed a faint smile. He pointed at the long shadows of the two people on the ground and said, "I just wanted to say it. You really are ….. very delicate."
He chose a very tactful word, but it didn't comfort Gou Liang at all, "As your guardian, I have an obligation to tell you that you can't use any method to remind a man that he's short. Do you know that you'll be put in a sack if you do this?"
Long Yao raised an eyebrow and suddenly pulled Gou Liang in front of him. Seeing that Gou Liang's shadow was completely covered by his own, it was like they were one. He was in a good mood as he said with a chuckle, "You really are small."
[Ding, the target's affection has been updated. Current affection: 80!]
Gou Liang bluntly punched him, "I'm 1.8 meters tall, thank you."
Long Yao was still laughing. Gou Liang rolled his eyes and threw away his hand to walk home. He said in a bad mood, "Alright, I know you're tall and mighty. Please stop before going too far."
Long Yao's long legs took a step forward and easily caught up with him. He grabbed Gou Liang's shoulder and pulled him back into his shadow. He said with a chuckle, "I have more tall and mighty places. Do you want to know?"
He winked at Gou Liang.
Gou Liang, "… …"
He almost subconsciously took a light breath. His ears turned red again, but his expression was unprecedentedly serious.
He asked Long Yao, "Mr. Yao, is it convenient for you to tell me who taught you the human language?"
Long Yao, "It was Long Yi. Is there a problem?"
"Of course not."
Gou Liang said word by word through gritted teeth.
