“How did you know?” The squirrel demon answered subconsciously. Immediately, it understood what he just did and looked at him, wide-eyed and in panic, “You... You...” It couldn’t finish the sentence after a long while, but its eyes became full of water vapor, as though it was going to cry out. After a long while, it asked very carefully, with a crying sound, “Do you... want to buy mushrooms?”

The three, “...” Such poor acting skills. Which school on earth did it graduate from?

It persisted in handing two mushrooms, one red and one white, towards Lonemoon. “Just buy one pair, is that okay? If not, I can give them to you as gifts!” Seeing that they didn’t take it, it immediately grew anxious, and then took over the whole basket. “I’ll give you all the white ones, it took me a long time to pick them. Just buy one red one... is that okay?”

“No!” He directly pointed out his identity. “You are a demon!”

“Hey, how did you know...” The squirrel stiffened for a moment, and a bit of panic flashed across its eyes, but it stubbornly held on to its basket. “Do you want to buy mushrooms then?”

“No!” Was this an idiot? It didn’t forget to sell mushrooms even now.

Yet the squirrel became even more anxious. It turned around and handed the basket towards Shen Ying. “Would you like to buy one?”

Shen Ying looked down at it. “I don’t eat vegetables.”

It had to hand it towards Chef.

“Would you-”

“I don’t cook vegetables!”

The squirrel’s face went completely pale all at once, as though the sky had fallen upon it. Its grip on the basket loosened, and immediately, the mushrooms fell all over the ground. The demon had lost itself. It sat down directly upon the ground and collapsed into a cry. “Ah... There’s no more time. Why does nobody buy my mushrooms? Little Flower will be eaten... I am so useless that I can’t save her. Ah...”

It cried so sadly that its tears fell constantly like beans. Its small figure shrunk into a ball, and the big tail behind her patted the ground. It didn’t even care to hide its identity any more, but let its hat drop, revealing two droopy triangular ears.

Shen Ying: “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

Lonemoon: “...”

So this was the quality of demons in this plane?

Umm, why did they feel the guilt of bullying small children?

“Stop crying!” Lonemoon felt a bit of headache, and he couldn’t help but speak out.

“I have to cry!” It actually cried even more loudly. “Little Flower will be eaten, and it’s all my fault... I harmed her! Ah...”

“What Little Flower? Hey, hey, if you keep crying I’ll capture you!” This was a kid, right?

“Capture me, then. Little Flower is gone, I also don’t want to live anymore. Ah...”

“...” Holy shit, this little demon was obsessed with crying somehow?

Just as he was about to make a spell, Shen Ying beside him stepped forward first. She reached out and stuffed a fruit into its mouth. The sound of crying stopped, and the world fell silent instantly.

“Mushroom, who is going to eat your Little Flower?” Shen Ying squatted down and asked.

The squirrel demon froze and gave a tearful look. Its two hands took the fruit in its mouth, and replied grievously, “I’m Squirrel, not Mushroom.” After that, she held the fruit and bit it, while sniffing and saying, “It’s... it’s Tiger King. He caught Little Flower.”

There are still other demons around here!

“Who is Little Flower?” Shen Ying continued to ask.

“Little Flower is my best, best friend.” The squirrel nodded as though to emphasize. “Just like you, she would give me tasty food. Since I was just a little squirrel, I lived on a tree beside her home. Every day, she gave me a huge, huge pine. She looks very pretty, look... I look just like her now!”

Lonemoon was stunned. He looked at its incomplete human transformation. That Little Flower was a human?

“But later... she was caught by Tiger King.” It looked all sad once again. “Tiger King said, if I can bring other humans back to him, he will return me Little Flower. Every day, I wait here, but all those people are afraid of me, and won’t go back with me. That’s why... that’s why... I thought about using mushrooms. Yesterday, Tiger King said, if I still don’t bring humans back, he will eat Little Flower...”

The more it said, the softer it became. Its head also bowed lower and lower. In the end, it gave them another unrelenting look. “Are you really not going to buy a mushroom?”

“...” You’ve already f*cking said your purpose, who would buy it? Hello?

“Enough. Take us to that tiger demon!” Lonemoon said directly. “We’ll help you save Little Flower!” If his guess was correct, that tiger demon was the one which was doing harm in town recently, and this squirrel had no bloody grievous energy on it, so it seemed to have not harmed humans. The Little Flower that it talked about should be probably also a human.

“Really?” Its eyes brightened in a flash and then dimmed once more. “But... Tiger King is very powerful!”

Lonemoon was too lazy to explain. He directly lifted it up with one hand and went up on his sword. “Where is it?”

The squirrel was shocked, and it hurried to hug its own tail, before pointing to the right weakly.

They flew in the direction that the squirrel pointed. The lair of the tiger demon wasn’t far, and they reached it within two minutes. before they came near it, they already smelled a very thick smell of blood. It even covered the demonic aura which was not very strong.

Lonemoon looked at the entrance of a cave which was giving out stinking smells, frowned and walked in. But the squirrel had already lost all its courage, and it squirreled to the back. It thought about it, then turned and hid behind Shen Ying. Whoever that gave it fruit was a good person.

Once inside the cave, the smell of blood was even thicker, such that it was somewhat suffocating. Vague clanking sounds came from underneath their feet. Yi Qing’s hand turned, calling out a fireball which lit up the cave instantly.

The inside of the cave wasn’t huge, and all of it could be seen at a glance. The tiger demon wasn’t in the cave. The whole cave was full of bones. there were bones of all kinds of beasts, but more were human bones. Some had already turned white. Some still had blood and flesh clinging to it, giving out a disgusting stench.

“It’s so good, Tiger King is not here!” The squirrel looked joyful, as it rushed out instantly and started looking around the cave. “Little Flower... Where is Little Flower? I’m here to save you. Little Flower... It called for a long time but got no response, and it started searching in panic, even starting to dig in the bones on the ground.

Lonemoon frowned, grabbed the squirrel demon and dragged it out. “Get out first.”

“No, I have to save Little Flower...” The squirrel struggled to get up, but was still dragged outside. “Let me go!”

“There’s no living person inside!” Lonemoon gave it a stare, then sighed and said, “How long has your Little Flower been caught?”

The squirrel was stunned, and then started calculating using its fingers. “Four, five, six.... I... I don’t know. But Tiger King promised to let me exchange for her, she must...”

“She has died long ago!” Looking at the situation in the cave, there was no way the tiger demon would keep a human alive. It was simply lying to this squirrel.
