You Are Not Human! You're a Monster!

The Void Gauntlets?

Is his Shadow Fiend blind?

Why did he see a hand that wasn't wearing anything?

What kind of monster is this human shop owner?

A dragon-shaped Shadow Demon dwells in the shadows. He can pull out Shadow Demons that have merged into the shadows with his bare hands. Even if the paladins and ascetics of the temple do not have some means to restrain their Shadow Demons, they will not be able to pull out the Shadow Demons from the shadows easily.

The Shadow Fiend merges into the shadows.

When they blend into the shadows, they become part of the shadows.

For example, can a person standing in the sun pull their shadow up from the ground by bending over? No.

Their shadow demons are fused into the shadows and have no physical form. Not to mention pulling them out of the shadows, under normal circumstances, you can't even see them.

This human can not only see him, but also pull him out of the shadows and grab him since he has no physical form.

That's outrageous.

Is this guy too strong? Or is he really wearing an invisible "Void Gauntlets" on his left hand? Either way, this human is not someone to mess with.

"I can't see the Void Gauntlets on your hand, human. Tell me, why can you see me blending into the shadows?"

"Heavenly Eye".

"???"

Heavenly Eye?

He had heard of divine eyes, but never of Heavenly Eye. Besides, this human's eyes looked ordinary and didn't seem like the kind of heterochromatic eyes with magical abilities.

"Who is your summoner? Where do you live? Tell me his name."

"There was no summoner. I came here to steal your goods. Human, let me go. I promise you I will never patronize your store again. In fact, I can even protect your store in secret."

In this modern-day Alchemy City, the daytime belongs to humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, and other races, while the nighttime belongs to demons and dark creatures.

If you release me, I promise you that no dark creatures will ever bother you again. I can even challenge the Demon God and the God of Darkness.

Think about it. If you hand me over to the Alchemy City Sheriff, I can escape quickly or return to the Abyss unless I have special Source Power Item or the special prison where I am held.

There's something strange about you. I don't dare threaten you; I'm saying this because I want to cooperate with you. Human, please seriously consider my proposal.

Lance casually tossed the Shadow Fiend to the ground, stepped on its leg, grabbed a chair, sat down, and watched the Shadow Fiend with interest.

The information Shadow Fiend just revealed was somewhat frightening.

Does the night in the Alchemy City belong to demons and dark creatures? Has the Alchemy City fallen?

Or did demons and dark creatures gain the right to move freely in the Alchemy City Alchemy City through the higher-ups? When he was in the Alchemy City before, there were no demons at night, only some strange alchemy staffs or energy-powered flying machines.

"Are there many demons in the Alchemy City at night?"

"There are more than you think, but due to certain regulations and laws, demons from the abyss cannot openly operate in the Alchemy City. This regulation only applies to the daytime; demons can move freely at night."

However, if we are caught by the sheriff of the Alchemy City, we will also face imprisonment. To reduce our punishment, we will need to pay a price to get away with it.

Shadow Fiend revealed a little information to Lance: he felt that this human wouldn't hand him over to the sheriff for such a small reward.

If you hand him over to the sheriff, other evil spirits will come to his shop and steal his expensive goods.

Let him go, and you'll gain his friendship.

"I find it hard to believe what the devil is saying."

"I can swear."

"Oaths have no binding force on demons."

No one understands demons better than him. Demons are masters of wordplay; even if they swear oaths to the Demon God or the God of Darkness, they will use wordplay to escape.

It's better to believe in the dead than in demons.

The words of the dead are more credible than those of demons.

"Human, you should know the power of a contract oath. Do you think I, as the Shadow Demon, would dare to break a contract oath so easily?"

"You wouldn't dare, but I suspect you'll use other means to circumvent the punishment of the oath of contract. Let's put the cooperation aside for now. Can you tell me which demons are lurking in the Alchemy City?"

"I'm not sure about that."

"Are you unsure? Or do you simply not want to say?"

"I don't know. I am the Shadow Demon. No demons are willing to approach me. Only some demons that can restrain my abilities will occasionally approach me."

Do you have a bounty?

"No."

"I'd better hand you over to the sheriff. After all, I'm an honorary citizen of Alchemy City. When I encounter a demon like you, I must bring you to justice."

I've heard it said, "When dealing with demons, never believe their words. Believing them is the beginning of your descent into the abyss."

"Human, doing this will do you no good!"

Lance grinned. "You have to earn the benefits yourself."

"You are not human! You are a monster!"

"You're lying through your teeth." Lance stood up, bent down, picked up the Shadow Fiend from the ground, and stuffed it into a bottle.

His bottle can imprison Shadow Fiend.

As for who Shadow Fiend's summoner is, that's a matter for the Alchemy City's sheriff to investigate.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Lance placed the bottle on the counter, returned to his rocking chair, lay down, covered himself with a blanket, and closed his eyes to rest.

It will be dawn soon.

There shouldn't be any Shadow Fiends visiting his Mystical Shop tonight.

The Shadow Demon, trapped inside the glass bottle, roared in disbelief that a human would dare treat him, a demon, in such a way.

Aren't you afraid of his retaliation?

Damn it!

This human might actually be unafraid of retaliation! He's remembered this human!

At daybreak, Lance sent a message to Xia Lulu, the sheriff of the Alchemy City, asking Xia Lulu to come to the Mystical Shop and take away the Shadow Demon.

And earn a little bounty along the way.

Assisting the Alchemy City Sheriff in capturing the Shadow Demon should earn at least five thousand, if not ten thousand, right? Even if it's not ten thousand, we have to accept it; we can't let this honorary citizen's heart down.

Around 8 a. m., Xia Lulu, dressed in silver-white armor, appeared at the Other Dimension Goods Mystical Shop.

She received a message from the owner of the Mystical Shop shop early this morning. Without even having breakfast, she quickly packed her things and took the Source Power Flying Vehicle directly to Snowscape Street.

Shadow Fiend.

The big boss behind the owner of the Mystical Shop has caught the Shadow Devil broke into the store to steal.

That's outrageous.

Even the paladins of the temple might not be able to catch the Shadow Fiend.

Who exactly are the shop owner's partners? Inside the Mystical Shop.

When Xia Lulu saw the Shadow Demon sealed in the glass bottle, she couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

Using a glass bottle to seal the Shadow Demon? There's no magic circle on the glass bottle to seal the Shadow Demon, nor any strange sealing items.

How was it possible to seal the Shadow Fiend inside?

magic.

The Shadow Fiend was also rolled up into a ball.

So strong!

Shadow Fiends have no physical form, and most Extraordinary Person cannot touch this type of demon.

That's incredible.

"Boss Lance, which of your partners captured this Shadow Fiend?"

"It's me."

"???"

"Don't get me wrong, it was the Source Power Item [Void Gauntlets] and [Eye of the Gods] that my partner gave me that I managed to capture this Shadow Demon. I was terrified last night. Sheriff Xia Lulu, is there a reward for my assistance in capturing the demon? Is there a reward for my good deed?"

"???"

They're shop owners now, why are they still thinking about bounties in the Alchemy City?

However, there is no reward for assisting the Alchemy City Sheriff in capturing demons.

Not everyone can earn this kind of money.

The reason for not issuing a large-scale manhunt for the demon was also because they feared that the Extraordinary Person would be no match for the demon and would be harmed by it.

"There's no bounty, but I'll apply for it for Boss Lance."

"If I apply, how much of a bonus can I expect?"

"It's at least several thousand, and possibly as many as ten thousand, since demons are indeed quite dangerous."

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

Lance handed the glass bottle containing the Shadow Demon to Xia Lulu Xia Lulu character and believing that the girl would not break her promise.

"Boss Lance, if you encounter something like this again, you'd better contact me as soon as possible. Not all demons are as unlucky as Shadow Demon, who happens to encounter Source Power Item that counters him."

If you hadn't had Source Power Item, you would have been in danger last night.

Xia Lulu took the glass bottle and kindly reminded Lance of something.

Lance nodded in deep agreement. He felt that Xia Lulu was right. Good luck wouldn't always be with you; only strength could suppress all dangers.

"I'll apply for it for you as soon as I get back. If it goes quickly, it can be approved tonight. If it goes slowly, I can give you an answer by tomorrow."

"I'm not in a hurry."

"Boss Lance, I'm leaving now. If the bonus comes through tonight, I'll personally deliver it to you."

"Good."

The Shadow Fiend was taken away by Xia Lulu.

I glanced at the time; it was nine in the morning.

I need to go back to Dragon Island to cook for the dragon cubs.

There are people inside the store.

Luna and Chloe started working at the store not long after Xia Lulu left.

After a brief handover, Lance left the Mystical Shop, returned to Villa No. 3, and went back to Black Dragon Island through the Teleportation Gate.

When they returned to the island, the dragon cub was cooking.

The porridge I cooked.

I also made scallion pancakes.

The scallion pancakes weren't made well; they were colorless, had a faint taste but weren't fragrant, and were barely edible.

The young dragon, wearing an apron and carrying a shovel, saw Lance, wiped her face with her Lance, and grinned awkwardly at him. She woke up early in the morning and found the evil dragon was not in its den. After practicing her Life Nurturing Exercise, she cooked porridge, jogged around Black Dragon Island, and then went to the kitchen to make scallion pancakes.

She had seen the dragon make it a few times; the steps were very simple. But when she tried to make it herself, she was so flustered that the scallion pancakes she made were all broken and tattered. They looked terrible, but they were barely edible.

"Hehe, it looks a bit ugly and doesn't taste very good either. You should have some porridge. I can eat these pancakes myself. I can manage."

"For my first time making scallion pancakes, I've done a pretty good job."

Lance transformed into a black dragon, picked up a scallion pancake made by a young dragon with his dragon claw, put it in his mouth and tasted it. It was so soft and flavorful that it could only be described as flavorful.

"Practice makes perfect. Failure is the mother of success. With this experience, the next time I make scallion pancakes, they will definitely be delicious and visually appealing."

After tasting two pieces, Lance served himself a bowl of porridge.

There were also some noodles, and he encouraged the little dragon to finish them so that they wouldn't be wasted.

Er Gouzi came into the kitchen and saw the scallion pancakes that Youlong had made. Both of his dog-headed eyes showed disgust.

Even dogs wouldn't eat the scallion pancakes made by the young dragon.

Just as it was about to leave, Lance took half a scallion pancake from the plate and put it into Er Gouzi's dog bowl.

"Don't waste food, eat it all. The little dragon worked so hard to make it. I'll take some of the leftovers to the turtle later."

After saying that, Lance picked up a tattered scallion pancake and put it in his mouth. When Er Gouzi saw this, the two dogs looked at each other and began to politely defer to each other.

The dog head on the left lets the dog head on the right eat, but the dog head on the right shakes its head and lets the dog head on the left eat.

After a moment of polite politeness, the two dog heads on either side started to divide the scallion pancakes equally, one for each of them. What an awful scallion pancake!

How did the young dragon manage to make a dish taste this delicious?

Young Dragon's cooking skills are limited to making hot pot, and besides hot pot, he can only cook porridge. Turtle also tasted the scallion pancakes made by Young Dragon. After eating them, it ate two baskets of fruit, which were not tasty at all.

The baby dragon ate as well, and quite a lot of it.

After having breakfast on Black Dragon Island, around 10 a. m., Lance took the young dragon back to the Alchemy City.

Er Gouzi went along too.

An ugly dog had taken over its old doghouse, and the owner couldn't quell the anger without giving it a good beating.

Back at the villa, Er Gouzi rushed out of the house, stood in front of the one-horned vicious dog, and glared fiercely at it.

The one-horned vicious dog tucked its tail between its legs and whimpered softly.

Just now, this two-headed dog beat it up.

"You two can communicate, just don't tear down the villa."

I should have brought some of the scallion pancakes made by the baby dragon to feed this weakling Devil Dog earlier.

"Don't bully it too much. It was just a little too fierce when it first met me and the dragon cub. Teach it how to be a good dog."

"Woof."

Er Gouzi said no problem.

He even scared the black dragon Lance, that idiot Devil Dog, and he's lucky he didn't become dog meat hotpot.

Other Dimension Goods Mystical Shop.

"Give me five bottles of Transformation Potion!"

"I want ten bottles! Not the kind of Transformation Potion without side effects, I want the kind with unstable Transformation Potion!"

"I want one too!"

Upon entering the store, Lance saw a group of Extraordinary Person clamoring to buy Transformation Potion, and he also saw the burly man who had bought his Transformation Potion for the first time yesterday.

Simon.

That's the name.

Simon happened to see Lance too. "Boss... Boss, do you have any magic potions that can enhance stamina and endurance?"

"I think you should buy some nourishing potions to drink; you're a bit weak."

How could I not feel uneasy?

He originally bought the transformation potion for his wife, but when he got home yesterday, she saw him transformed into a cat-man and immediately shut the bedroom door. She played with him from the afternoon until evening, and then from evening until two or three in the morning, listening to him meow. How awful! Tonight he's going to get his revenge.

"My Transformation Potion shouldn't have weakened you. What did you do after you drank Transformation Potion?"

"Nothing much, my wife just played with me all night with a cat toy."

"???"
