Rebirth of Jinxuan
Chapter 48: Demons Gather, Town Residents Panic, But Things Gradually Return to Normal.
Zhang Yuxi's concerns were not unfounded.
As soon as the Demon Gathering Order was issued, all the demons within a hundred miles thought something major had happened and rushed to Qingfeng Town.
Renhe Pharmacy was quickly surrounded by all sorts of demons. There were winged bird demons circling on the roof, tall bear demons blocking the entrance, and even several demons that had concealed themselves and were difficult to detect, lurking in the shadows.
Inside the pharmacy, Lu Yuhang was asleep, lying next to Qian Feng's bed. His face was pale, and his breathing was even.
The three-star Rejuvenation Pill refined by Lu Jinxuan emitted a faint fragrance. She carefully fed the pill to Qian Feng.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a warm current flowed through Qian Feng's entire body. He slowly opened his eyes, saw Lu Jinxuan, and smiled weakly: "What... what happened to me?"
At this moment, a man dressed in black with a cold expression walked to Zhang Yuxi's side and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, all the demons have assembled. Please give your instructions." This man was none other than the Dark Protector.
Zhang Yuxi nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the inside and outside of the pharmacy, and said in a deep voice, "Guard the pharmacy and do not disturb the townspeople."
The residents of Qingfeng Town had already noticed something was wrong, and every household stayed indoors, leaving the streets deserted.
Fear spread among the crowd. Some prayed that the Martial Hall would come to drive out the demons, while others pessimistically believed that even the Martial Hall might not dare to come in the face of such a large number of demons.
Time passed by, but the anticipated conflict did not occur.
The demons outside the pharmacy stood silently, making no sound or making any aggressive moves.
The bolder residents began to peek out through the cracks in the door, and finding no danger, they mustered their courage and went out.
Gradually, more and more people appeared on the streets, and small restaurants reopened. Everything seemed to be slowly returning to normal.
As night fell, lanterns were lit up in a small restaurant.
Several young demons entered, one of whom, a slender woman with delicate features, pointed to the menu and said, "This, this, and this, I want them all!" She turned to a slightly immature boy beside her and winked mischievously, "Young master, pay the bill!"
Tu Yu ordered a table full of dishes, all of them delicacies, which dazzled the waiter.
She grinned and pointed to a slightly immature but distinguished-looking young man beside her, "Young master, pay the bill!"
The boy sighed helplessly and took out a bag of spirit stones from his sleeve, handing it to the waiter.
The waiter took the heavy spirit stone in a daze, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
The innkeeper peeked out from behind the counter, his eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of fear. "Gentlemen... would you like a meal or a room?"
"Let's eat." Tu Yu picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of spirit deer meat, put it in her mouth, and squinted her eyes with satisfaction. "This spirit deer meat is good, tender and juicy."
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and asked cautiously, "Gentlemen...you're not locals, are you?"
"We come from the Moon Dwelling Mountains," another demon youth said casually. He had golden vertical pupils and occasionally revealed sharp tiger teeth as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat. The Moon Dwelling Mountains were the territory of the demon race!
He forced a calm demeanor, "I see. I'm glad you gentlemen like it, I'm glad you like it..."
Tu Yu noticed the shopkeeper's nervousness and explained with a smile, "Don't be afraid, shopkeeper. We don't eat people; we prefer spirit beast meat." She pointed to the dishes on the table, "Look, these are all spirit beast meat; they taste much better than human flesh."
The shopkeeper felt a little more at ease, but something still felt off. What was the difference between eating human flesh and eating spirit beast flesh?
He chuckled dryly twice, "Yes, yes, you're right, sir..."
