I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Holding the chopsticks, gently pick up a piece of grilled brown pork chop.

Under the expectant and anxious eyes of Michiko Chiba, Lingpingan slowly put it into her mouth and chewed it gently.

The meaty flavor blooms in the mouth, with a slight burnt aroma.

But the meat is very tender, without any firewood, and tastes very delicious.

Lingpingan nodded: "Not bad! There is progress!"

Michiko Chiba was very excited when she heard this praise, and felt that the hard work these days had not been in vain!

So she immediately bowed deeply.

Lingpingan thought about it for a moment, and then said: "But... there are still many shortcomings..."

"I won't hide anything from you Qianye-chan..."

"I used 50% of my tasting skills this time!"

As an excellent gourmet, Lingpingan's biggest problem since childhood was that his tongue was too sensitive.

If he wanted to, his tongue could even taste the subtle differences in a glass of water.

This is an advantage, but it is also a huge disadvantage!

Before graduating from college, he once lived a life that seemed like a year.

Because the food in the school cafeteria is the most unpalatable in the world, it is known as the "food from hell".

It tastes so bad it’s outrageous!

Let alone Lingpingan, most people can only pinch their noses, ignore their stomachs, and swallow in pain.

And Lingpingan was even more tortured.

When he was in elementary school, he often didn't eat lunch, or only took one bite...

Wait until middle school and go directly to boarding school.

The painful ordeal began.

In order to prevent himself from starving to death, Lingpingan could only act as a doctor for a dead horse.

Through some psychological suggestions, let your taste buds block out some flavors.

In this way, although the food in the cafeteria is still unpalatable, it is finally edible.

He would not starve to death on campus, die of malnutrition and severe hunger.

Now, he let go of half of his blocked taste buds.

The sensitivity of the tongue has naturally increased several times.

Naturally, you can easily taste the many shortcomings of Michiko Chiba's dish.

Michiko Chiba, of course, has no doubt.

She bowed deeply: "Please Lingsang give me your advice!"

Lingpingan looked at this attitude and nodded with satisfaction.

This is what Fuso people are good at.

On specific issues, I like to strive for excellence.

This is also their national characteristic.

I heard that in the Fuso Kingdom, some chefs are even particular about making rice balls!

Lingpingan picked up a piece of meat again and said to Michiko Chiba: "Qianye-chan, look at... the doneness of this meat..."

"You can go deeper!"

Michiko Chiba looked at the piece of meat carefully.

The spiritual energy is entangled between the fibers, and the spices are faintly reflected in the meat juice.

It is true that the spiritual fire is not roasting enough.

So much so that the spiritual energy failed to penetrate into the fibers and juices of the meat.

She bowed deeply: "Yes! I will pay attention!"

She understood that she was still a little too weak after all.

If we can break through to the school level, we can solve this problem.

Fortunately, the black guards have also promised to provide all the required resources.

She just needs to practice hard.

"In addition..." Lingpingan put the meat into his mouth and said while chewing: "When marinating, you have to be careful..."

"It feels like it's a bit much..."

“The seasoning is too long!”

Chiba Michiko lowered her head deeply, her face full of shame.

Of course she knew this problem.

But there is nothing she can do!

Too weak!

We can only rely on seasonings obtained from Black Guards to marinate them to reduce the need for psychic energy during grilling and preparation.

Sure enough, this kind of trick could not be fooled by Lingsang's discerning eyes!

She bowed deeply: "I'm sorry!"

Lingpingan smiled and shook his head: "No need to be so sad! Qianye-chan!"

"Your cooking skills are already very good!"

I still have high hopes for Michiko Chiba and Lingpingan.

After all, it is really not easy to find a takeaway that suits your appetite!

What’s even more rare is that the chef at this takeaway restaurant is willing to continue to learn and improve his cooking skills!

How valuable it is!

Lingpingan pointed out that after she mastered her cooking skills in the future, her stomach and taste buds would be able to really enjoy the meal!

The days when you can satisfy your appetite without having to do anything yourself have always been Lingping’s wish!

Chiba Michiko bowed again and said: "By the way, Lingsang..."

"I'm going to the Imperial Capital next month..."

"The Fuso Cuisine Promotion Association of the Federal Empire has recommended me as the Fuso chef representative to participate in and prepare for the fraternity party next month!"

"This is an honor!"

As she said that, the Fuso girl's face was filled with pride!

For Fuso people, if they can become famous and recognized in this land.

That's a lifetime honor!

The statue of Abe Nakamaro, the envoy to the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, still stands in Kyoto and has become a part of the national memory.

Lingpingan's eyes lit up: "That's great!"

yes!

He was also worried that he would be hungry if he went to the imperial capital!

Now it seems……

At least you won’t be hungry!

…………………………………………

Until she returned home, Chiba Michiko was still thinking about Lingsang's advice and encouragement.

She knew that she was lucky.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to get such a sage and sage to teach and correct him almost step by step?

"I must practice harder..." she thought: "Only in this way can I live up to Lingsang's hard work!"

Thinking of these, she was about to walk into the house.

But he was stopped by his mother: "Michiko...Michiko!"

Michiko Chiba raised her head and saw her mother calling her name in the yard.

"What's wrong?" Michiko Chiba walked over and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Her mother, Chiba Xuanzi, is a typical Fuso woman. She always wears traditional Fuso clothes and doesn't talk much.

But she was very excited today.

"Michiko..." She took Chiba Michiko's hand: "My daughter..."

"While you were out, the Imperial Household Agency called..."

"They said they hope that you can be registered on the invitation list of the Federal Empire in the name of 'Esquire to the Prince of the Imperial Palace'!"

For every Fuso person, if they have the opportunity to become a royal attendant, it is simply a beautiful thing falling from the sky.

This means more than just honor.

It also means a jump in status.

Royal attendants can be regarded as Chinese.

And the prince of the righteous son of the palace is the only daughter of the current King Fuso.

He has been favored since he was a child.

This can be seen from her royal name.

He was crowned with etiquette and righteousness, almost treating him like a prince.

And this princess was indeed close to becoming Queen Fuso—if King Fuso hadn't given birth to a baby boy later.

Chiba Michiko was stunned.

Is the royal family looking for her at this time?

She lowered her head and began to think: "Will the guard in black agree?"

After thinking about it, she got the answer: yes!

The Black Guards and the Federal Empire have always strongly encouraged foreigners and extraordinary people who came to the empire to return home and build their own country after completing their studies.

Especially immigrants across the country.

Immigrants across the country can have dual nationality.

This is a historical tradition.

This is also a fact that this country cannot deny!

It is also its obligations and responsibilities.

The Son of Heaven is the son of all peoples in the world!

Although the federal empire smashed the tribute system.

But the tribute system in my heart cannot be eradicated.

On the contrary, as time goes by, it becomes more and more intense.

Michiko Chiba simply thought about it and said to her mother: "If His Highness is really willing..."

"I have no opinion!"

Sooner or later, she will return to Fuso with the skills she has learned, and use delicious food to heal people's hearts and bridge the conflicts between ethnic groups.

This is her wish, her ideal, and more importantly her commitment, her commitment to the soul, and her commitment to the saints.

Just like the envoys sent to Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago and the envoys sent to Xia Dynasty today.

My heart is in my homeland, my soul is in the Central Plains!

"Yo Xi!" Qianye Xuanzi became happy: "I'm going to call the Imperial Household Agency now!"

Michiko Chiba nodded.

Half an hour later, Michiko Chiba received a call from Kyoto.

"Qianye-chan!" On the other side of the phone, a very quiet female voice said: "I am the adopted son!"

"Your Highness!" Michiko Chiba quickly used honorifics.

"Michiko...can I call you that?" The princess on the phone spoke softly and very gently.

"This is my honor!" Michiko Chiba replied: "Your Highness!"

"Hai! Michiko is indeed a hero among Fuso women!" The princess said happily: "Then this time, I have to pay my respects to the emperor and the eldest princess, and it's up to Michiko!"

Michiko Chiba didn't know why.

Emperor?

The eldest princess?

Do I have a chance to meet such a big shot?

Just listen to the princess on the phone saying: "Tomorrow, someone from the Imperial Household Agency will come to visit in person and report to Michiko..."

"Please give Michiko your careful guidance!"

"please!"

Michiko Chiba put down the phone, her beautiful eyes flashed, feeling a little panicked.

She is just an immigrant who has moved to this city.

At most, he has a little bit of talent as a chef and has received guidance from a reclusive 'sage'.

The prince of the righteous son of the Imperial Palace actually noticed her.

Even if you notice it, you still ask me so solemnly and humbly?

She felt a little unreasonable.

Fortunately, she could go to someone for help.

So, Michiko Chiba went to Jiangcheng University with full of doubts and found her cousin Chika Fujiwara who was reading in the library.

She told Chika Fujiwara what she had experienced today and her confusion.

Then, Michiko Chiba looked at her cousin and asked, "Cousin... what on earth is going on?"

Fujiwara Chika blinked after listening.

As the granddaughter of the former Prime Minister, her sensitivity is naturally not comparable to that of Michiko Chiba.

She looked at her cousin, the fox girl who was picked up.

She laughed: "Michiko... your luck is really good!"

Michiko Chiba didn't understand and looked at Chika Fujiwara in confusion.

"You must ask for something from others!" Chika Fujiwara looked at his silly cousin and said, "To be able to ask Prince Reimiya Yoshikouchi to ask you so solemnly..."

"Michiko...the person you met...may have a bigger backstory than you thought!"

"Maybe his status in this country is far beyond what you and I know!"

Speaking of this, Chika Fujiwara couldn't help but envy her cousin.

This stupid fox girl has been avoiding practicing since she was picked up.

It was only recently that I finally started practicing seriously.

With a character like hers, she probably wouldn't be able to survive a day in Fuso.

The priests and onmyojis would be happy to extract her soul and train it as a shikigami.

And the demons wouldn't mind eating a little fox demon to improve their cultivation.

But she was lucky enough to follow her adoptive parents, obtain refugee status, and come to the safest place in the world.

This allowed her to grow up safely and still retain her innocence.

However, this good luck is just the beginning.

In this country, she actually met a reclusive 'sage', possibly even a 'sage'-like figure.

Teach her the miraculous spiritual food technique and give her precious cultivation methods.

Even the law enforcement agencies in this country are very cooperative.

He almost got what he asked for, for fear that she wouldn't have enough.

Seeing such treatment, Chika Fujiwara was filled with envy.

But she didn't know it yet and was still confused.

Chiba Michiko's eyes widened: "Is that so? Lingsang's status is very high?"

Fujiwara Qianhua looked at this silly child and shook his head: "Hiding himself in the city... But since ancient times, which sage has truly hidden in the city, who is not famous?"

"Besides, this is an extraordinary era!"

"An era when power is truth and magic is benevolence!"

"Do you know what the world is like outside this country?"

Michiko Chiba shook her head.

Fujiwara Chika stood up and said solemnly: "Above the temple, there are rotten trees serving as officials. Between the palace and the emperor, animals eat their salary. People with wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people are in power, and the servile and servile disciples are upholding the integrity one after another!"

"Powerful extraordinary beings and monsters control everything behind the scenes..."

"The wailing of thousands of living beings, the suffering of thousands of common people... are just to make those strong people improve their cultivation!"

"Even Fusang is the same!"

"That's why we want to join the Empire!"

Michiko Chiba was stunned: "Why have I never seen this in the news..."

"Haha..." Chika Fujiwara laughed: "On the news... only what I want you to see will appear on the news!"

"What you don't want to see will never appear up there!"

"Press control and the Official Secrets Act are the best ways to cover up everything!"

"Back then, such a big thing as the Hagoromo Fox Rebellion could turn into a natural disaster!"

"Others... aren't they simpler?"

Chiba Michiko felt that her thoughts were a little confused.

Is this world really that dangerous?

she does not know.

Chika Fujiwara smiled and lifted Michiko Chiba's chin. She looked at the delicate skin and delicate face of this little fox demon, and then solemnly said: "Qianye-chan!"

"There are hundreds of millions of people living in Fusang Mountains..."

"I'm afraid I might have to ask you for help!"

"Ah!" Chiba Michiko didn't understand.

"If that Lingsang really has a very high status here..."

"Your relationship with him may determine our life and death, honor and disgrace!"

As he said this, Fujiwara Chika's expression became meaningful.

The flowers on the temples are swaying with golden steps, and the hibiscus tent warms the spring night.

If possible...

With a little fox girl, a country can gain peace and prosperity.

It’s really a good deal!

Thinking of this, Chika Fujiwara understood that she must keep this secret tightly.

Because only rare items can be hoarded!

…………………………

Lingpingan crossed his legs, drank sweet tea, and watched a variety show on TV.

The shouting male star deliberately exaggerates his performance, which is a bit embarrassing.

The female star he worked with was also very embarrassed.

"Now we don't even have any good variety shows..." he lamented: "What else can we watch in the future?"

In recent years, the television industry has really become obsessed with it.

TV dramas and variety shows, all with crotch extensions.

You may not be able to produce one that is enough to watch in a year.

The screen is filled with exaggerated acting and embarrassing variety shows.

This makes Lingpingan feel very uncomfortable!

After all, others might still be able to look at the beautiful girl and the handsome boy for amusement.

However, it is already difficult for patients with prosopagnosia to distinguish the actors on the screen.

Where can one still appreciate beauty and ugliness?

At most, he sometimes finds a certain celebrity to be 'cute'.

So just take a few more glances.

Thinking of the cute 'female star', Lingpingan sighed again.

He had seen some when he was a kid.

No more now.

In his eyes, the female celebrities on TV now feel like dummies carved from molds, model dummies in shopping malls.

The bookstore owner, who felt really bored, picked up his cell phone.

He looked at the Nightmare Legend icon on his phone, thought about it, and clicked on it.

result……

The screen went black and then flashed back.

A prompt appeared on the screen: Dear players, the Nightmare Legend server is undergoing upgrade and maintenance...

Lingpingan stuck out his tongue: "I don't even have to play the game anymore!"

It can only be coded!
