You are not monster girls!

Chapter 159 It really is a vacuum (4k)

Fortunately, Sally was always distracted while working, which allowed her to occasionally overhear Lin Muran's ramblings, including things like not buying lottery tickets if she traveled back in time, but buying the world, stocks, and real estate investments and withdrawing at the peak.
There was a lot of content, and at that time, Sally didn't understand much of it, and her memories were only fragmented. However, fortunately, she remembered the parts that were closely related to her life quite clearly.

—The blood dishes and lotus root powder from Dongda University are the perfect meal replacements when Lin Muran is not around.

After arriving in this world alone, Selene, who still possesses magic, occasionally attacks bandits or corrupt officials who are worse than beasts because of the constant warfare and unrest.

But as her magic power dwindled, Selene had no choice but to fall into a deep sleep, which led her to a peaceful and prosperous era, rendering all her previous methods unusable.

With her blood depleted and growing increasingly weak, she could only pin her hopes on "meal replacements."

So, adhering to the monster rule of not drinking human blood, Sally kept trying to replicate Lin Muran's "meal replacement recipe," but she could never make it taste the same and it was completely inedible.

If it weren't for Zhu Hong, I probably wouldn't be alive today.

The night she met Lin Muran, it was the first time in her life that Sally ate only half a full meal. For several days after they left, she even felt nauseous at the sight of pig's blood.

The overpowering smell of houttuynia cordata kept assaulting her nostrils. Sally snatched the box, opened it, dipped her finger in it, and tasted it. Her heterochromatic eyes immediately lit up.

She still looked listless, but her hand didn't slow down at all as she picked up the plastic spoon next to her: "Spit it out."

Xia Li said coldly, "I'd like to learn about Father Emperor's life."

"Then just watch Princess Pearl."

Sally stuffed a large spoonful of photinia flower and lotus root powder into her mouth, squinted her eyes and showed a very enjoyable expression, and even though the spoon was licked smooth and shiny, she still held it in her mouth for a long time.

"TV dramas are not realistic."

"Then let's watch the documentary, The Last Emperor."

At this moment, Sally was like a starving ghost reincarnated, trying to brush off Xia Li's questions as much as possible, afraid that if she missed a bite, she wouldn't be able to eat anymore.

Seeing that the other party was so perfunctory and her expression did not change, Xia Li silently took out the second transparent lunchbox and used the same trick to hold it against Selby's face.

"If you want it, just say so."

"It's just a meal replacement, not real blood."

Sally glanced down at the box, then followed the rim of the box to Xia Li's fair and pink elbow.

“If you let me suck your blood, I should be able to say yes.”

"Big brother said you can't smoke it." Xia Li didn't know the reason, but if it was her big brother who said it, then it must be true.

"Ugh, the boss is such a beast." Sally reached for the lunchbox with some disappointment but missed.

"If you want it, just say so."

"It's been too long, I can't remember very well."

"Then there's nothing to eat."

"."

It's true what they say, "One who stays near ink gets stained black."

Sally was speechless, feeling that Xia Li now resembled Lin Muran, who had seduced her into working overtime back then.

"Okay, okay, give it to me first, and I'll say it's fine."

"Tell me first, then I'll give it to you."

"why."

"My brother said the succubus might cheat."

"I am a vampire!!"

Sally's rebuttal sounded like a shout that used up all her strength; if Xia Li hadn't had good hearing, she might not have even heard the last word, "clan."

"With so little, you can only pick one thing."

"Just the daily routine of royalty."

Xia Li spoke very frankly. She felt that with Sally looking so lifeless, she would probably die of exhaustion right in front of her if she told even a slightly longer story.

"That's it?"

Sally had initially thought she was going to hear some strange and anecdotal history, but upon hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief. After secretly glancing at Xia Li, she suddenly got up and left, carrying a basin that was still emitting white frost from the kitchen and placing it on the cracked wooden coffee table in the middle.

There was even a peculiar smell, like Sister Yu stuffing her big feet into the sauerkraut jar.

"We'll need this in a little while."

Seeing that Xia Li was about to ask a question, Sally immediately interrupted her, trying to jump back, but then seemed to remember that the sofa had turned into a wooden board, and sat down with her long, thin black heart-shaped tail swaying back and forth.

"Wake up at 7 PM, have dinner at 9 PM, and handle official business at 11 PM."

"Handling official business?"

"It means sending the captured vampire hunters to shovel manure."

Sally looked at Xia Li with disdain in her heterochromatic eyes: "Spirit beasts should only be able to get captured."

As a demon girl looked down upon by humans, she became royalty after arriving, while this spirit beast could only be exploited by a heartless boss.

At this moment, I should touch a nerve and break her defenses, causing her to leave.

That way I can finish work early.

Thinking of this, Sally took another big gulp of lotus root starch.
Xia Li, recalling that in the previous story of Feng Yun, it seemed that spirit beasts like the Fire Qilin were only capable of being defeated by cultivators, nodded in agreement: "Continue."

Sally: ? ? ?
No, is this spirit beast really that good-tempered?
Did you learn that from your boss?
When she worked with Lin Muran, as long as he got into a serious state, his emotions were as stable as a lake.

That dragon from before was obviously too inexperienced and hadn't been given much attention by the boss, which is why it was so prone to making a fuss.

Seeing that Xia Li remained unmoved, Selene could only continue speaking politely: "At the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), we celebrate with the people, which means fighting bats; at the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), we wait to pay tribute; at the hour of Chen (7-9 AM), we sleep. That's it."

"What kind of food is served at the imperial banquet?"

Xia Li, disguised by her tail, lashed out at Selby's tail, urging her to speak quickly.

"hiss"

Sally winced in pain and quickly curled her tail back onto her thigh, then opened the bowl on the makeshift coffee table that was still steaming: "Here, this is it."

A green pixel block appeared in the center of the plate, with two large and one small dark blocks arranged in a triangle in the very center, resembling Gulipa's face.

Xia Li sniffed the sour, pungent smell that permeated the air, feeling that it was completely different from the image of the jelly in front of her: "Slime?"

"Looks like you're really working for the boss."

Sally rarely showed a proud expression as she said, "This is the first recipe for slime jelly that my boss and I developed together. I specially replicated it according to the method here."

"Developing it with my older brother." Xia Li stared at the green cube head with her golden eyes, somewhat lost in thought.

Seeing that Xia Li seemed to value her relationship with Lin Muran, Selina continued:
"When we were developing this dish, the boss and I were trapped in the mountains and surrounded by a large pack of unicorn wolves and pink slimes. We had no support, were short of supplies, and our lives were hanging by a thread."

"later?"

"And then..."

Sally looked embarrassed and turned her head away to avoid looking at Xia Li: "In the process of fighting Shrek, we found that although its flesh contains toxins of different properties, it can be used as an excellent source of magic recovery food after processing."

"Just like Iron Man crafting his armor by hand in a cave, my boss and I crafted a workbench by hand, had a big meal, and as soon as our strength was restored, we rushed out and wiped out all the monsters."

"Amazing."

After listening, Xia Li clapped her hands and said, "But I heard my older brother say that slimes only contain aphrodisiacs and no poison."

“Yes, uh… different slimes have different compositions.” Sally was caught off guard and her pretty face turned red.

"Oh."

"Anyway, that's how it came about, hurry up and try it."

"Oh."

Selena breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xia Li shift her gaze away from her.

As Xia Li had said, slimes usually contain toxins that can stimulate the desire to reproduce. After she and Lin Muran ate them, their strength was restored, but they were also poisoned.

They thought they were about to lose their virginity, but just as they were about to reach the top, the unicorn wolves rushed in and interrupted them. They also ate the remaining slime.

The unicorn wolf, its sensitivity instantly increased 3000 times, became even more agitated, causing chaos on the scene. It unleashed several powerful kneading attacks, causing both of them to lose consciousness.

When they awoke, all that remained were monsters foaming at the mouth and lying on the ground. Although she later traded the monsters for a large sum of money, she herself wasn't sure whether she should be happy that she had retained her title of "Grand Archmage."
Thinking of this, Sally couldn't help but sigh.

"It smells really strange." Xia Li leaned closer to the cube and sniffed it. "Didn't you want to experience authentic Kyoto-style sauce? So I specially made some seasoning." Selene glanced at Selene indifferently.

"May I?"

"Of course, this was prepared especially for you." Seeing that Xia Li seemed to want to eat, Selene was secretly delighted.

This is made from a mixture of various unusual ingredients such as fermented soybean juice, grasshopper powder, and black garlic, which are then shaped into blocks.

Even someone like her, who has no sense of taste, would feel physically uncomfortable just by being near her.

Not to mention eating it.

Sally turned her face away again, revealing her signature comical smile.

This must be what my older brother meant by "experience".

"Thank you."

Xia Li winked at Selene, then picked up a spoon, scooped out a small piece, and put it in her mouth to chew.

Let's see if you'll still smash my furniture like that in the future.

After you eat this meal, I guarantee you'll never dare to come back.

Sally pinched her nose, already imagining Xia Li crying in her mind, and the excitement of the plan's imminent success was almost overflowing.

But her smile froze after only a few seconds.

After Xia Li finished chewing, she picked up the remaining cube and threw it into her mouth. Her expression remained unchanged as she said, "It's alright."

"Really, really?"

"Yeah, he's on par with my older brother." Xia Li gave Selby a thumbs up.

this! ?

impossible?

How can something taste good when so many unpalatable ingredients are mixed together?
Could it be that they've actually created some perfect flavor?

Sally wasn't unfamiliar with this situation either. Seeing Xia Li reach out to eat a second piece, she curiously took one and popped it into her mouth as well.

puff.

Sally's seven orifices soon began to gush out large amounts of water uncontrollably. She felt as if her throat was filled with a piece of sludge that hadn't been cleaned in a sewer for tens of thousands of years. Various sour and rancid smells entered her nasal cavity and began to dance a samba on her nerves. The pain made her roll on the ground on a collapsed wooden bench.

She now understands why people without a sense of taste can still detect swill in food.

It really can cause nerve pain.

"Are you alright?" Xia Li asked, tilting her head as she stood to the side.

Having had her fill of rolling around, Sally stuck out her tongue, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes, and scoffed, "Are you...a monster?"

“It’s the Emperor’s Roar.” Xia Li said, then ate another piece.

"You're ruthless. If you think it's delicious, you can take the rest back for the boss."

Such a good thing must be given to my elder brother and sister.

That way, the eldest sister should be allowed to sleep with her eldest brother.

If the ingredients and the chef want to eat them, that's fine too.

"I will."

Xia Li popped another piece into her mouth and closed the box: "Big brother is right."

"Right to what?"

"The assistant is a good person."

"Actually, I'm a bad person. I just confessed."

"That's good."

"Whatever you say."

Sally collapsed on the ground, no longer wanting to engage in verbal sparring with Xia Li. She realized that the so-called "spirit beast" raised by the boss was truly her nemesis.

The pressure was similar to that of the Universiade, which was one thing, but I didn't expect him to be a food fanatic as well.

If she comes again, I'll just pretend to be asleep.

But that would prevent me from gathering information about the boss.

Sally lay on the ground, waving her arms, and asked, "If you're so powerful, why do you need to listen to your boss, an ordinary human?"

If even a demon like myself can't replenish my magic power, then it's even less likely that Lin Muran, whose magic power perception is even weaker, can.

“Working alone is perfectly fine.”

"Assistant, stop testing the waters."

After carefully putting the box into her backpack, Xia Li squatted down next to her and asked, "Big brother isn't an ordinary person; he has superpowers."

"White Superpower?" A hint of surprise flashed in Selby's reddish-purple eyes.

Xia Li nodded: "The amount of work that I can finish in 4 days, you can finish in one go, brother."

“Done in a flash,” Sally muttered.

She didn't know what Xia Li's job was, but if even a powerful spirit beast like her had to do four days' worth of work, Lin Muran, a normal human, definitely couldn't do it.

"The boss's ability is..."

"Let me rewrite it."

"."

Sally smiled.

People laugh when they're extremely speechless, and vampires do the same.

However, this also proves that the boss is still the boss, and those who need to be exploited will still be exploited.

"Assistant, I have a question."

"Huh, are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?"

"Besides blood ties, what contractual relationship is the most stable?"

“Marriage, at least, provides legal protection, which is more effective than a labor contract,” Selena answered directly, preventing Xia Li from turning the tables on her.

"Marriage," Xia Li rambled on, "...the intimate kind?"

"if not?"

How can we demonstrate intimacy in a relationship?

"Ask the boss!"

"You're a succubus, you know better."

"It's a vampire!"

Sally sighed, her tail bouncing on the ground as she said, "Of course, it's kisses and a big survey."

She is a hybrid of a succubus and a vampire, so it's normal for her to speak frankly about relationships between the sexes.

"Kiss. ​​and Big Survey"

Xia Li understood the former, but didn't quite understand what Selly meant by the latter. However, when she asked her again, Selly simply stood up and started packing her things.

"Thank you." Xia Li bowed to Selene, then picked up her backpack and walked out.

Watching Xia Li's figure gradually disappear into the distance, only then did Selena dare to stand openly at the door and feel the moonlight. Unexpectedly, Xia Li turned around and came back halfway away.

Sally was startled: "W-what are you going to do!?"

wow——

The hem of her nightgown obscured Sally's view, fluttering in the wind.

"It's a true vacuum."
