Monster, come to my bowl

"Sir, what are you saying? I don't understand." Honghong heard the middle-aged man mumbling to himself and laughing strangely, and asked fearfully.

Because what the middle-aged people mumble is not the language of this world.

After hearing Hong Hong's words, the middle-aged man's expression changed again, and he suddenly asked: "Eh? What are you talking about? Why can I understand it?"

This time he spoke the language of this world.

Honghong understood!

But although I understood the words, I didn't understand the meaning.

"Ah?" The poor little maid was full of nervousness and said in fear, "What...what are you talking about? Master Cai, you...you...you...question, I don't understand!"

"Don't understand? That's right... Ah, that's not right!" The middle-aged man scratched his head, thought for a moment, and asked again: "First, tell me where this place is? Why am I lying on the bed?"

Honghong understood this time and quickly replied, "This is the Xue Mansion! After the eldest lady brought you back two months ago, you have been in a coma until now."

"Xue Mansion... I fainted... Miss... Miss." The middle-aged man muttered a few words, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "The Miss you are talking about, could it be Xue Yi? She is not dead?"

"Yeah!" Hong Hong was a little dissatisfied and pouted, "Why did the eldest lady have to die? She came back to see you a few days ago. If you had woken up a few days earlier, you could have talked to her!"

“That shouldn’t be the case!” The middle-aged man frowned and continued to shake his head: “If the young lady you are talking about is Xue Yi, and Xue Yi is the female demon-suppressing guard…she should be dead in a high probability!”

That's right!

This neurotic "middle-aged man" is Cai Ji!

After not seeing him for two months, he was not only extremely thin, but also had a lot of bald spots, looking like a heavy smoker who was about to be buried.

You ask him why it became like this?

I know, but I won’t tell you!

At this time, Cai Ji chatted with Honghong for a few words and confirmed that he had not traveled through time for the second time.

Not only that, when he heard Honghong say that she was brought back by the eldest daughter of the Xue family, he subconsciously thought of the beautiful female demon-suppressing guard who fell in his own yard.

He guessed that the girl should be the legendary eldest daughter of the Xue family.

The reason why I think so is very simple.

Although Cai Ji had never met Xue Yi, he had heard of his name for a long time.

Because the diners who went to the small restaurant to drink would talk about the eldest daughter of the Xue family whenever they had time, saying that she was the most gifted martial arts genius in Nanshan Town in hundreds of years. She was spotted by a famous demon-suppressing guard since she was a child, and was taken to Tongtian City to be trained personally after being accepted as his personal disciple.

Nowadays, Miss Xue has made some progress in martial arts and has been sent back to her hometown, Qinghe City, for training. Everyone who has seen her says that she is heroic and beautiful!

Therefore, based on the rumors and what Hong Hong said, Cai Ji guessed that the beautiful and powerful female demon-suppressing guard was most likely Xue Yi.

However, he was still very confused.

Wondering why the other person didn't die.

After all, at that time, Xue Yi not only died, but his face also turned green!

If he could recover like that, then the physical fitness of a high-grade demon-suppressing guard must be too terrifying!

"Manager Cai, you're finally awake!"

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Cai Ji subconsciously looked up and saw a fat old man in his sixties limping into the room with a cane.

He immediately recognized that the old man was Xue Xiong, the current head of the Xue family and a retired seventh-rank demon-suppressing guard!

Because he injured his left leg in a battle with demons several years ago, Xue Xiong was forced to return to his hometown and start his retirement life early.

Cai Ji did not know the two maids, but he knew this Mr. Xue.

Because the other party not only had a lame leg, but was also the number one figure in Nanshan Town. This gentleman could be seen at any weddings, funerals, or celebrations of any size in the town.

"Master Xue, nice to meet you..."

Seeing Xue Xiong coming in, Cai Ji struggled to stand up and greet him.

But before he could stand up straight, his legs went weak and he almost fell.

Honghong, who was standing by, quickly reached out to support him and whispered, "Young Master, please be careful."

"Ahem, don't call me Master, just call me Shopkeeper Cai." Cai Ji awkwardly changed the subject and muttered in confusion, "Huh? What's going on? Why am I so weak?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Xue said, "It doesn't matter if you are weak, as long as you are alive!"

Cai Ji's mouth twitched, and he remembered that the other party was a vulgar warrior at heart. He raised his hand to scratch his head and said, "Master is right, staying alive is the most important thing!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand landed on his head, his whole body froze.

"Eh? Where's my hair?"

Cai Ji suddenly screamed, then looked around for a moment and stared at the dressing mirror by the window.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t stare at it, but if you do, it will make your anus feel tense!

He was horrified to see in the mirror an extremely thin middle-aged man with a Mediterranean appearance, who was now raising his hand to press his bald head!

"Ge You???"

Cai Ji exclaimed again, then suddenly widened his eyes and said to the mirror: "No, that's... that's me? Oh my god! How did I become like this?"

"Don't be afraid! The doctor said you don't have a serious illness, but you are seriously deficient in energy and blood." Mr. Xue, who was standing by, took over the conversation and comforted him in a deep voice: "To be honest, I also thought you were going to die, but I didn't expect you to wake up. Now that you're awake, eat and drink well, and try to live a few more days."

I'll do it!

You are really good at talking!

What does it mean to strive to live a few more days?

I'm not even thirty yet!

How could he die so young!

Cai Ji complained in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your comfort, Master Xue. If you don't have any other instructions, I'd better go home first."

"Why are you going back? Your shabby restaurant has been buried by someone long ago!" Xue Xiong said.

"Huh? Who buried my restaurant? Why?"

When Cai Ji heard this, he almost cried.

Even though the small restaurant was not very high-end, it was the place where he could make a living after working hard in this world for eight years and saving up money to buy it!

But now, he was buried by someone?

Is this justified?

"Your restaurant is full of poison. Do you still want to continue cooking in there and poison the customers?" Xue Xiong replied with a sullen face.

"Venom? Where did the venom come from..." Cai Ji blurted out, and then he realized: "Could it be that the big centipede did it?"

"That's right!" Xue Xiong nodded, then raised his chin towards the bed with a frown and said, "Sit down, let's chat."

"Okay, okay." Cai Ji did not dare to object and immediately retreated to the bedside and sat down.

This chat lasted for half an hour.

Through the conversation with Mr. Xue, Cai Ji roughly understood what happened that day.

It turns out that the Iron-backed Centipedes came out in full force to attack Nanshan Town, and their main target was not ordinary people, but the Xue family!

For some unknown purpose, the giant centipede brought thousands of its descendants straight to the mourning hall of the Xue Mansion, trying to seize the body of the second young master Xue.

As for some iron-backed centipedes taking advantage of the chaos to attack civilians, they can only be described as collateral damage.

Cai Ji and Wangcai were almost hurt.

Fortunately, when the attack happened, Miss Xue Yi, who had received the news that her brother was in trouble, happened to rush back home with a team of demon-suppressing guards and ran into the attacking giant centipede.

The two sides started fighting as soon as they met, which was why the three iron-backed centipedes were suddenly summoned away by a strange knocking sound when they were about to kill Cai Ji.

The knocking sound was the signal of the giant centipede to collide its poisonous claws to summon its subordinates.

Cai Ji saw what happened next.

Xue Yi led the demon-suppressing guards and the giant centipede to fight from Xue's house all the way to the center of the town, and finally ended with the giant centipede escaping with injuries.

After that, Cai Ji only remembered Xue Yi crashing through the wall and falling in his yard. He ran over to see her body, and then his eyes went dark for no apparent reason...

I don’t remember anything that happened afterwards!
