A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Baiyin is not a skilled cook. Her curry rice is quite crude, and due to the lack of spices, the diced meat added to the curry rice has a fishy smell that is difficult to remove.

However, both of them had experienced hardship. Before their parents died and before they were taken in by the Nabelius family, they were constantly on the move. The two weak people not only had to endure hunger and cold, but also had to escape the hunting of other powerful monsters. They had long been accustomed to the harsh environment in the wild.

Although they had lived a good life in the Nabelius family over the years, their wild nature had not been tamed. So when they went into the wild, they were not at all uncomfortable. They were very skilled at everything, from finding food to digging burrows to hide in. They were more experienced than the most experienced human wilderness survival experts. It was precisely because of this that the two of them were able to survive in the harsh environment of the Demon Realm Wasteland.

Baiyin quickly finished her curry rice.

Gently wiping her mouth, Baiyin used magic to clean the wooden bowl and spoon, then sighed and said, "I'm still not full. Even though I've already added the meat of two lizards and a rabbit, I feel like my appetite is getting bigger and bigger."

After swallowing the curry rice in his mouth, Hei Ge wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said, "Because we are all still in the magical growth stage, we need to eat much more during this period than during other periods. Moreover, the growth stage is far from over, and for a considerable period of time to come, we will have a hard time getting enough to eat."

As individuals transformed into demons, after a period of buffering, their magical power will continue to grow. This is equivalent to making up for the power loss caused by the lack of growth period for non-native demons. It is a self-completion mechanism hidden in the demon bloodline, which avoids the emergence of extremely weak lesser demons. In addition, the strength of individuals transformed into demons is not bad, so the effect of such growth is greater than that of demons.

The only downside is that during their growth period, demons will be in a relatively hungry state, just like human teenagers who are prone to hunger during their physical peak.

Heige placed the jerky he had brought back from outside in front of Baiyin, and used magic to remove all the dust from the jerky.

Hei Ge said, "Use this to fill your stomach first. Dried meat is usually seasoned with a lot of spices and salt for easy storage, so it won't have a fishy smell."

Although both of them could be considered wilderness survival experts, in the wild, apart from being able to make their own salt, they could only rely on luck for other seasonings. Moreover, some special seasonings were beyond their ability to make due to a lack of tools and relevant knowledge and skills.

Because the beasts of the demon realm contain magical power, their meat is tougher and more gamey. Simply salting them cannot completely remove the gamey smell. Therefore, this kind of dried meat is a rare delicacy for them now.

Baiyin gently stroked her lower abdomen. The large bowl of curry rice was only enough to fill her up a third of the way. She still wanted to eat more.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Bai Yinji cut the rope holding the jerky with a karate chop, took only a few pieces for himself, and placed the rest of the jerky on the stone platform next to him.

"This is all for you," Hei Ge said helplessly.

“But I can’t eat that much,” Bai Yin said, tilting her head slightly.

Hei Ge felt a tightness in her chest. As Bai Yin's older sister, she knew Bai Yin's lifestyle and appetite very well, and she knew that Bai Yin was lying.

Hei Ge said, "I will take you away from the Demon Realm. We will definitely be able to leave the Demon Realm and return to the Human Realm. When that happens, I will take you to a buffet, where you can eat as much as you want."

"Yes, I believe you, sister," Bai Yin said, her words muffled by a mouthful of dried meat.

The muffled rumbling sound coming from outside was like thunder. However, the two of them were already used to it; the weather in the Demon Realm was inherently very unpredictable, with thunderstorms and heavy rains coming at any time.

Heige looked at the location of the cave entrance. The underground space, reinforced with magic, was undoubtedly stable. Moreover, he had also created a complete set of ventilation and exhaust systems, so there was no need to worry about the cave being flooded by rain. Magic itself is a very magical power. Any adult demon can use the power of magic to apply to all aspects of life. Both Heige and Baiyin are far stronger than ordinary demons. Using magic to modify the surrounding environment is like instinct for them.

The wooden planks at the entrance of the cave made a sound, and the two people who heard it prepared to fight back and escape at any time. This cave was designed as an escape tunnel.

"Huh? Someone's here? Can I take shelter from the rain? Don't worry, I can pay you a certain amount."

The voice is quite pleasant, magnetic yet gentle, like the sun.

The young primordial demons didn't know what the sun was, but as demons who had been transformed from monsters, the two had spent a long time in the human world and had experienced the warmth of basking in the sun. This voice felt like the spring sunshine, something precious.

Li Wei slid down the slope, not caring that the mud would get his clothes dirty, and sat down smoothly in front of the two of them, as if he were on a slide.

Both Heige and Baiyin watched Liwei warily, because Liwei did not have the aura of a demon, but rather a very pure human aura.

However, the appearance of humans in the Demon Realm is abnormal in itself. Humans, with their weak constitutions, are simply unable to resist the various harmful substances inside the Demon Realm. Even breathing them is poisonous. Yet, this human is able to survive in such an environment, which is very strange.

"Who exactly are you?" Hei Ge asked warily. They were currently on the run, and any slight movement would trigger them. If Li Wei hadn't caught them off guard, they wouldn't be sitting here talking. Hei Ge even felt that she had been bewitched by Li Wei's voice. Li Wei's voice had a peculiar charm, which was why she hadn't used magic to attack immediately.

"I'm just a tourist on a picnic." Li Wei laughed, brushing the dust off his clothes. He took out a box of chocolates from his storage space, took out a bar, tore open the wrapper, and popped it into his mouth to chew.

Chapter 1. The Two Who Remain Vigilant

Li Wei knew that Hei Ge and Bai Yin were like frightened birds right now. If he revealed even the slightest danger, they would easily freak out. What they lacked most right now was a sense of security, and what he needed to do was to provide them with enough security so that they could trust him.

During his trip to the Demon Realm, Li Wei told Eubeluna that he needed to clear his head and left a paper clone in the attic to teach, while his true body came to the Demon Realm. Eubeluna knew nothing about his trip except that he had come to the Demon Realm.

Baiyin glanced at the chocolate on the ground out of the corner of her eye, and the jerky in her mouth suddenly didn't taste good anymore. However, she couldn't eat food from strangers, so she could only watch Li Wei enjoy the chocolate while she just smelled it.

Li Wei didn't ask any sensitive questions. After finishing the chocolate bar, he took out his food tablecloth from his consciousness space.

Under the astonished gazes of the two girls, Li Wei calmly laid the food tablecloth on the ground, and then a large number of exquisite dishes appeared on the tablecloth. Hei Ge and Bai Yin swallowed hard as they watched the dishes that appeared from the food tablecloth.

It's incredibly cruel to watch others eat while you yourself have nothing to eat and are actually hungry.

However, both Hei Ge and Bai Yin were wary. Although they were very hungry, they dared not eat the food even if Li Wei gave it to them. There was no other reason than that they were simply afraid that there was something wrong with the food.

In the fiercely competitive Demon Realm, even nobles can be cheated if they are not wary of others. And for fugitives like them, even if they are cheated, no one will stand up for them.

That's why neither of them wanted to put themselves in any more danger. Hei Ge quickly weighed the pros and cons, and her first thought was to find a way to kill Li Wei.

But the thought lingered in her mind for less than three seconds before she dismissed it, because she couldn't see through Li Wei, which meant that Li Wei was likely much stronger than them.

Offending a powerful opponent rashly is a path to death. The cautious Heige decided to observe for a while longer. Although the opponent was powerful, they were not demons, which meant that they had a chance to enter the human world.

Hei Ge had this thought because the Demon Realm would never be open to humans under any circumstances; this was the bottom line for the demon race. Therefore, Li Wei couldn't have entered the Demon Realm through normal means. This meant that, besides the existing entrances and exits connecting to the human world, there might be a hidden path deep within the Demon Realm, undiscovered by most demons, leading into the human world.

Considering that the other party might be carrying information about a secret passage, Kurogane secretly gestured to Shiroin, telling her not to act rashly.

Both of them had reached a very high level of sign language proficiency, so when Levi couldn't see them, they began to rapidly make hand gestures. The reason they didn't use magic to secretly communicate was because they were afraid that this method, which was not secure enough, would be intercepted by Levi at such close range.

Secretly communicating through telepathy ultimately involves magic, and using magic causes fluctuations in magical energy. Whispering to each other's faces might offend the other person. To avoid such a thing, the two chose the more discreet method of sign language.

After a brief exchange, Hei Ge and Bai Yin exchanged their opinions and reached a consensus: to extract as much information and benefit as possible from Li Wei. Although there were certain risks involved, they were much less than the risk of directly turning against him and robbing him. They didn't have the resources to be reckless at the moment.

Li Wei said, "I've come here to take shelter from the rain, so I'm borrowing your place. You dug this cave, right? Consider this feast as payment for my lodging here. If you're worried about poison, I can try a bite of everything first."

Heige and Baiyin exchanged glances. If this mysterious being of unknown strength really wanted to attack them, there would be no need to delay. Therefore, the other party's words had a certain degree of credibility, though only a certain degree, not an absolute one.

Heige naturally wouldn't let the atmosphere be so awkward. After communicating with Baiyin in sign language, Baiyin would take responsibility for her safety. The cat demon race has a very strong resistance to poison and curses. Even if they are transformed into demons, their cat demon constitution is not reduced. Therefore, she was prepared to test it herself. If there were any problems, Baiyin, who hadn't touched the food on the tablecloth, could also take her away in time.

"I believe you, and I hope my trust in you will be rewarded." Hei Ge said, then grabbed a chicken leg from the tablecloth and began to tear into it.

Baiyin, watching Heige tear into a chicken leg, swallowed hard. Deep in her eyes was a mixture of envy and hunger. Being forced to flee during the magical growth period was just that awkward.

Heige wolfed down all the food on the tablecloth, and after confirming that there were no problems, she gave Baiyin a "々．切安全" gesture.

Unlike human sign language, the two have a unique set of coded language because their fingers are more flexible. They can communicate with a single hand gesture. When it is inconvenient to use words or magic to transmit sound, this complex yet convenient set of gestures allows them to exchange information precisely, as if they were communicating with language.

However, this set of gestures also has some similarities with human gestures. Baiyin secretly made an "OK" gesture, sat down next to Heika, and began to wolf down her food like her sister.

The dishes produced by the Food Tablecloth are inexhaustible to some extent, so even after Kurogane and Shirone were stuffed, the dishes on the Food Tablecloth did not decrease at all.

Beside them lay piles of bones, fish bones, and food scraps like wrappers, while the two girls patted their bellies contentedly.

After a satisfying meal, the two temporarily lowered their guard against Li Wei, though they still maintained a basic level of caution, since they didn't even know Li Wei's name.

Looking at the two men, who looked like they were starving to death, Li Wei said, "Are you miners working in the field? Haven't you gone back to the city to resupply during this time?"

Li Wei's words made Hei Ge somewhat embarrassed, because the question he raised showed that he was not ignorant of the Demon Realm, so the lie she was fabricating suddenly stalled.

Chapter 4. Self-Exposure

Li Wei's expression was somewhat strange as he said, "Didn't you go back to the city to resupply? Staying out in the open for so long isn't good for your physical and mental health."

Hei Ge was silent for a moment, then said, "Because we have nowhere to go back to, we are fugitives."

Hei Ge thought for a moment. The other party wasn't an outsider who knew nothing about the Demon Realm. Even if she lied, it would be easy for them to see through her lie. So she chose this "what's the use" approach, which also allowed her to use this method to advance by retreating and to test Li Wei's attitude towards them.

If Li Wei were to harm them after learning they were fugitives, they would immediately run away. The cat demons are particularly adept at hiding; their escape and concealment abilities are superb. If they wanted to escape, even powerful high-ranking demons would have difficulty catching them.

Li Wei maintained his relaxed expression and said, "There aren't many wanted persons in the Demon Realm right now. What have you done wrong?"

“Killing your master,” Hei Ge said.

Hei Ge was also observing Li Wei's expression. When Li Wei heard the accusation, she paused slightly, which made her nervous. However, Li Wei made it clear that if she revealed even the slightest bit of malice towards them, they would abandon everything here and flee far away—literally, "flee far away." The cat demon clan's secret technique, after a long period of energy accumulation, could store a "high-level spatial jump," allowing them to move as close as possible to a pre-set spatial coordinate point. If the spatial coordinate point was within their casting range, they could choose to move themselves to that location.

The cat demon race is a demon race with a low lower limit but a high upper limit. It is also the demon race with the strongest survival ability. "High-level spatial jump" can be said to be an instinct engraved in the bones of individual cat demons. It is a typical bloodline magic.

Li Wei said, "Why would you think of doing such a thing? Is your master so wicked that he has driven you to this dead end? Or is the contract you signed a 'contract of servitude'?"

Hei Ge gave a wry smile. To be honest, the days in the Nabelius family after the division were not bad. Although her personal freedom was somewhat restricted, she knew very well that there was no such thing as absolute freedom in the world, so the limited range of activities was not a problem for her.

Although the atmosphere within the Nabelius family branch was rather somber, overall there were no major problems. The two sisters got along well with their colleagues; while not exactly shrewd, they didn't have any enemies.

If it weren't for the previous accident, Kuroka would never have imagined that she would have the chance to leave the family, after all, the treatment she received from the Nabelius family's branch was not bad.

But fate always likes to play tricks on people. Because her strength grew too fast, a tragedy occurred. Due to the backlash of the contract, her master exploded and died, and she and her sister had no choice but to embark on a journey of escape.

Hei Ge herself didn't know how to divide the responsibility. Was it a problem with the contract itself, her problem, or the problem of her unlucky master?

Moreover, Heige was fully aware of the consequences she had caused, because her rapid rise in strength led to the death of an elite individual from a noble family who was about to be promoted to a high-ranking demon.

The Demon Realm has a very large population, but in some ways, it is somewhat like the White Elephant Kingdom in the human world. Although there is no obvious caste system within the Demon race, the distinction brought about by the three upper and lower ranks, as well as the two major classes of nobles and commoners, divides the Demon race into three classes.

The death of a commoner demon is simply a matter of life and death; any commoner below the rank of high-level demon is cannon fodder. But it's a different story for nobles. Even the death of a mere infant with the strength of a low-level demon is a catastrophe. Let alone the death of a core member of a branch family of a noble clan. If caught, Heige and Baiyin would undoubtedly be executed to deter any "ambitious" commoner demons, to show them the reality: nobles are nobles, and commoners are commoners; there's no comparison between the two.

Hei Ge said, "Because my strength increased too quickly, my master was backfired by the contract, and so he was finished. During the escape, I also caused some casualties among the pursuers, so we have no way to get close to the city."

Li Wei said, "If the reason you gave isn't a lie, then I can only say that you're really unlucky to have run into something like this."

Hei Ge said, "That's fate. When you're unlucky, even drinking cold food can cause problems. If you're going to the city, you can see my wanted poster on the bulletin board. Maybe my bounty is quite high."

Hei Ge could only amuse herself with self-deprecation. After all, she couldn't ask for too much while on the run. She shouldn't even think about entertainment; just surviving was already a blessing.

Li Wei said, "I'm not short of money, and I don't even care about your little reward. Besides, I'm just a tourist visiting the Demon Realm. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to overstep my bounds and interfere in the internal affairs of the Demon Realm. All I can do is not report you to outsiders."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Hei Ge and Bai Yin both breathed a sigh of relief.

Hei Ge didn't expect Li Wei to help them; she would be grateful if he didn't report their whereabouts.

Hei Ge said, "Thank you for your understanding. After all, I did cause a fatal accident, and I won't deny that. But I'm not going to just sit there and wait to die."

The laws of the demon race involve collective punishment, especially when it comes to nobles and commoners, who are at a significant disadvantage. If a noble infringes upon the interests of a commoner, even if the matter goes all the way to the Demon Realm's Supreme Court, the noble only needs to offer a token apology to settle the matter. As for the infringed interests, the noble has already apologized, so what more do the commoners want? To rebel?

When commoners offended nobles, the punishment was much more severe. While it wasn't like the ancient Chong Kingdom where the entire clan was exterminated, the extermination of three generations of a family was a basic practice.

In other words, because of the contract issue, Heige ruined her master's life, and now she has no chance to do anything for anyone. Her situation will inevitably involve Baiyin.

The real demon world is not as "warm and gentle" as in anime. Anime can only provide a very narrow perspective, and not everyone can enjoy privileges. In some ways, the demon world is much more cruel than Li Wei's hometown, the real world. At least in the real world, except for a very few countries, most places have abolished slavery. It is very rare to see nobles sitting on the heads of ordinary people and openly sucking their blood in the real world.
