A Gentle Sacrifice!

An hour later, at the largest shopping mall in Qingsha City.

Wearing long sleeves and trousers, a black hat and mask, and black sunglasses, Cheng Sheng Cheng Sheng be sneaking around various women's clothing and luxury goods stores.

If it weren't for his lavish spending, one might mistake him for some kind of oversized "freak."

"It should be... about right."

Cheng Sheng walked out of a high-end jewelry store, looking at the various shopping bags in his hands, and thought to himself.

The issue of drastic changes in body shape will definitely be exposed if you run into someone you know, and then you won't be able to explain it no matter what you say.

After much thought, Cheng Sheng finally realized that the only person who could perfectly solve his problem was his Intermediary Demon who always liked to add "charm" to him.

This time, I'm the one asking for help, so I naturally need to show my sincerity as much as possible.

"Female demons... well, they're women too, right?"

"Women's favorite clothes, jewelry, high heels, and the like, would a female demon like them too?"

Maybe, probably... perhaps...

Cheng Sheng wasn't sure either, but he couldn't think of a better idea.

You can't just grab any strong, able-bodied man off the street and sacrifice him.

He wandered around this shopping district for half an hour, buying almost everything he could find. He had so many things that he could barely carry them all, and in total, he spent about 200,000 yuan.

Cheng Sheng wasn't bothered; after all, this money came easily.

Just as he was preparing to return to prepare for the second sacrifice and summon his Intermediary Demon, a slightly surprised voice called out to him.

"Cheng Sheng?"

Cheng Sheng subconsciously turned his head and immediately saw two girls standing arm in arm not far away, looking at him.

One of them was Sulai, and the other was probably her best friend or something.

We're doomed!

Before coming, Cheng Sheng was worried about running into acquaintances, and what he feared most came true. Unfortunately, he ran into Sulai and her friends!

What he fears most is running into someone he knows from the boxing gym!

"Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Cheng Sheng felt a tightness in his chest. He deliberately lowered his voice, left a single sentence, and turned to leave.

But Sulai rushed up and blocked his way, looking him up and down with astonishment in her eyes, and said with certainty, "No, you are Cheng Sheng!"

"No way, senior sister!"

Cheng Sheng surrendered, pulled off his mask, and said with a helpless expression, "You still recognized me even though I was practically wrapped up like a dumpling?"

"Ha, I knew it would be you!"

Sulai laughed as happily as if she had won the grand prize in a lottery. She said with a grin, "You don't know, do you? I didn't recognize it, I smelled it."

I've always been very sensitive to smells, and I remember your scent...

"I shower every day!"

Cheng Sheng raised his hand with a suspicious look and smelled his armpit.

"Ugh, you..."

Sulai raised her hand and slapped him, "That's not the taste I was talking about!"

Today's Sulai was completely different from the Sulai Cheng Sheng remembered. She was wearing a little dress, with light makeup, and looked as radiant as the golden sunshine on the beach.

The girl next to her was also quite pretty, and she kept looking Cheng Sheng up and down with curious eyes. Cheng Sheng smiled politely at her.

"Why did you buy so many girls' clothes and jewelry? Are you dating someone?"

Sulai was filled with astonishment at Cheng Sheng from head to toe, and even reached out to poke his arm, "Also, why are your clothes so bulging? Did you stuff something in them?"

Cheng Sheng tensed up instantly, dodging Sulai's hand while vaguely replying, "No, recently... I've been making some money from boxing, so I was thinking of buying some gifts for my family."

These were all bought for my mom and my sister...

"Oh~"

Sulai suddenly realized that she knew about Cheng Sheng's family situation and knew that he did indeed have a younger sister.

"Alright, senior sister, I can't chat with you guys anymore, I have something to do. Oh, right!"

Cheng Sheng glanced at the things he was carrying, then randomly picked two items and shoved them into the hands of Sulai and the girl next to her.

"These two items are for you. I'll treat you to a meal next time..."

"Why..."

Sulai naturally refused and was about to decline when the girl next to her said quietly, "Little brother, you're so nice, just tell me honestly, are you interested in our Sulai?"

"!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng and Sulai were both stunned for a moment, then looked at the girl in unison.

"Jiamin, what nonsense are you talking about..."

Sulai was both amused and exasperated. "Cheng Sheng is my junior brother at the boxing gym!"

Cheng Sheng: Damn, why didn't I think of the "when in doubt, just confess" trick!

By confusing Sulai, she naturally becomes unaware of what's wrong with herself!

You're a genius! You're amazing, my best friend!

"Ahem... Senior sister, I'm leaving."

Cheng Sheng didn't explain, but deliberately coughed twice, secretly gave his best friend a thumbs up, and then quickly slipped away before Sulai could react.

"I'm speechless, Jiamin. Look what you've done..."

Looking at Cheng Sheng, who had "fled in disarray," Sulai said helplessly, "You've scared my junior brother away."

"He's just shy."

The girl Jiamin smiled and then said, "But speaking of which, your boxing gym is full of handsome men, how come you don't even have a boyfriend?"

I think Sha Lie is pretty good, isn't he? He's handsome, has a great physique, and gives me a sense of security...

"Sha Lie...?"

Sulai shook her head and didn't say anything.

"Oh yes, I remember now."

The girl explained, "You've always been terrified of your dad since you were little, and you dislike men who are more mature than you the most."

Oh dear, wasn't that junior apprentice perfect? He knows to buy gifts for his family now that he's making money, which shows he's filial; he gave me, a complete stranger, a gift the moment we met, so generous, he must care about me a lot; he's good-looking too, and to be your junior apprentice at such a young age, he's got potential...

Perhaps it was because she felt indebted to someone who had given her a gift, but the girl meticulously listed out Cheng Sheng's strengths to Sulai one by one on her fingers.

"This is getting more and more absurd. I never even considered that..."

Sulai blushed at the girl's words and was about to have the gift taken back so she could return it to Cheng Sheng.

Looking up, she saw that the girl had already taken the bracelet out of the gift box and put it on her wrist.

"He's a perfect match for you; he has excellent taste."

The girl smiled and winked at Sulai, saying meaningfully, "Susu, your life can't be all about fighting and boxing gyms."

Sulai looked down at the beautiful crescent-shaped bracelet on her wrist, and for some reason, a slight feeling stirred within her.

She was raised under Su Tai's strict supervision, trained in a boxing gym, and rarely went to school. Her growth and life trajectory have always been different from that of a normal girl.

This is the first time a boy younger than her has given her a gift.

Sulai examined the bracelet closely, turning it over and over.

really...

It looks pretty good.

"Call--"

Cheng Sheng returned to the logging camp as quickly as possible.

In the same tin shed, the place where he had previously sacrificed the black elephant Sangni, he carefully drew the magic circle again, and then placed a bunch of things he had bought from the mall in the center of the magic circle.

Chanting incantations, the second sacrificial ceremony of the day.

Cheng Sheng didn't know what to call his Intermediary Demon, so he could only use "she" instead.

He knew that "she" could definitely sense it, because "she" had never missed any of his sacrifices so far.

"Help me get back to my pre-pregnancy shape, at least to a level that won't arouse suspicion... You should be able to do that, right..."

Cheng Sheng silently recited it in his heart.

The ritual was completed, and the tin shed was extremely quiet.

Cheng Sheng waited, waiting for "her" response.

Suddenly, a pile of luxury shopping bags in the center of the magic circle burst into purple flames and started burning for no apparent reason.

Offerings?!

Cheng Sheng was startled and subconsciously took a step towards the magic circle.

However, at the very moment he took that step...

A pair of snow-white, delicate, and boneless arms suddenly emerged from the darkness behind him and hugged him tightly.

Cheng Sheng froze, his heart seemed to stop, and he felt as if something was holding him tightly, gently resting its head on his shoulder, its warm breath brushing against his earlobe, letting out a low, melodious moan.

"Ah..."

The next second, more arms reached out, like red-hot irons, tightly gripping Cheng Sheng's body, desperately squeezing him inwards, as if trying to completely crush him and melt him into that gentle embrace...
