Village Visitors

Just as Lu Minghao was analyzing the changes in his strength after advancing, faint crimson glimmers flickered in Sally's purple eyes. The previously dormant Oni Clan bloodline within her seemed to show signs of revival as well.

"Sally, stop playing."

At that moment, Lu Minghao's voice suddenly came from beside the platter. Sally looked at him with wide, innocent eyes.

"Got it!"

Sally tilted her little head and realized that Lu Minghao was not blaming her for playing with that Fang Wolf Tribe member just now. She hurried over to his side, looking delighted as she began choosing the ingredients they would eat today with him.

Lu Minghao raised his head and glanced at Sally, who was smiling as she picked through the Fang Wolf Tribe corpses beside her. He had actually noticed what Sally had done from the beginning, but he simply had not stopped her.

After all, she was just a child. It was only natural for her to like playing around.

As for Sally having played one of the Fang Wolf Tribe members to death, Lu Minghao did not care in the slightest. With half of the Oni Clan bloodline in her veins and everything she had experienced since childhood, how could the things Sally liked playing with be the same as those of an ordinary human child?

Rather, when Sally was playing just now, Lu Minghao had found her even more adorable!

"Minghao, what should we do with all that's left?"

More than ten minutes later, Sally carried the Fang Wolf Tribe leader's corpse on her back and dragged two more corpses with each hand. She looked at the large pile remaining before her with distress. It was the first time she had ever seen so much meat—a sight she had never dared dream of before.

Yet now, it had truly appeared before her. But because she could not carry it all away, Sally's little face filled with distress and frustration. She was angry that she had so much meat but could not take it with her.

"All right. Leave the rest to me."

Lu Minghao helplessly patted Sally's little head as her face crumpled with distress. His highly elastic body sprang into the air, and under Sally's astonished gaze, it began to writhe continuously. In the end, he transformed into a huge curtain and swallowed every Fang Wolf Tribe corpse on the ground.

He even gnawed away a layer of the blood-soaked soil and grass, leaving the entire ground bare.

"So amamazing!"

Looking at the scene before her, where even the ground had sunk by a layer, Sally's speech became slightly unclear. The envy in her eyes grew stronger as she looked at Lu Minghao. If only she had such an ability! Then she would never have to worry about going hungry again.

"Don't worry. You'll have one too, Sally. Though you might not necessarily be able to eat dirt."

Lu Minghao hopped over to Sally and took the four Fang Wolf Tribe corpses she had been dragging with both hands. As for Sally envying him, once he bestowed the Power of Gluttony upon her, she would probably possess it too. Lu Minghao simply was not sure whether Sally's half-human, half-Oni body could digest dirt.

Even if she could, Lu Minghao would at most let Sally try it out of curiosity and taste it once. After that, she could forget about eating it. Dirt had no nutritional value, so it was not worth it at all.

"Really?"

At Lu Minghao's words, Sally's large eyes blinked repeatedly as she looked at him.

"Really."

As he spoke, Lu Minghao dragged the four Fang Wolf Tribe corpses toward the little wooden hut. Sally hurriedly picked up the wooden basket filled with wild fruit, slung it over her back along with the Fang Wolf Tribe leader's corpse, and chased after him. Her large eyes were filled with anticipation, and she did not doubt for a moment that Lu Minghao was lying to her.

In the lush, verdant forest, a slime dragged four Fang Wolf Tribe corpses along ahead while a half-Oni, half-human girl hopped beside him. From time to time, she took two wild fruits from the wooden basket in her arms, put one into the slime's body, and stuffed the other into her own mouth. Her little face was filled with happiness.

At noon, the scorching sunlight baked the earth. Before the dilapidated wooden hut, the clear stream reflected a faint glow.

In the stream, Sally lifted her skirt with her little hands, her fair little feet splashing up sprays of water. The droplets struck the slime some distance away, while her bell-like laughter echoed through the forest. She looked just like a mischievous and adorable little elf.

"Sally, come eat!"

"Coming."

Hearing Lu Minghao call her, Sally ran to the bank through the splashing water. She vigorously shook her little feet dry, put on her shoes, and obediently sat beside Lu Minghao. When she saw the golden-brown, glistening roasted meat steaming with fragrance before her, she could no longer hold back. She grabbed a piece and began chomping down on it without even caring that it was hot.

Her fair little face was instantly covered in grease and bits of meat, making her look like a little kitten.

"Hm?"

Just as Lu Minghao picked up a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into his body, he suddenly turned his head toward the distant village. The aura he gave off instantly became dangerous, and a hint of purple surfaced across his sky-blue body.

"Minghao, what's wrong?"

Beside him, Sally, who had been eagerly gnawing on the roasted meat in her hands, also noticed that something was off with Lu Minghao. She hurriedly raised her head and asked worriedly.

"It's nothing. We just have guests."

Lu Minghao waved at Sally to show her that everything was fine and that she did not need to worry. He then shifted his consciousness into Number Three, who had been monitoring the human village all this time. Several humans dressed like adventurers had just entered the village, and the one receiving them was none other than the Village Chief.
