Chapter 438 The Most Courageous Man
Lu Yuguan felt a sense of satisfaction as he watched the numbers in the ledger gradually increase.
At this rate, we can turn a profit in just half a month!
Mission completion is just around the corner.
He seemed to smell the fragrance of the Demon-Nourishing Pill.
【Host】
You look like a pervert.
The system dislikes it.
"I call this a genuine expression of my feelings," Lu Yuguan scoffed. "Besides, the reward will naturally be mine once the mission is complete!"

In the heart of Stone City, at the City Lord's Mansion.
"waste!"
A sharp, piercing roar echoed through the hall.
On the throne, a rabbit demon dressed in a gorgeous little dress was so angry that its ears stood up and its three-lobed mouth trembled incessantly.
It wasn't large, but the oppressive aura emanating from it made the minotaur tremble.
"A sea creature!"
"After sneaking into the city for so many days, you still haven't found him?"
"What are the patrol teams doing?!"
The minotaur lowered his head and dared not utter a sound.
The rabbit grabbed a carrot from the table and snapped it in half with a "snap".
"Lord Red Devil's ceremony is just around the corner, and the procession will surely pass through my Stone City..."
"If even the slightest mistake..."
Its ruby-like eyes narrowed, flashing with a cold light. "I'll throw you into the Boiling Demon Pool for a bath!"
The minotaur trembled: "Your subordinate will intensify the search!"
"roll!"
The minotaur scrambled back.
The hall fell silent.
The rabbit demon was still furious, his chest heaving violently.
At this moment, the humanoid demon youth standing to the side stepped forward.
He had a handsome face and respectful eyes; he was none other than Li Tian, the eldest son of the Li family.
"Lord City Lord, calm down."
"It's not worth getting upset over such a small thing."
"Oh?" The rabbit demon glanced at him sideways.
"I've heard there's a little tavern in town that serves some really interesting things," Li Tian said with a smile. "Why don't you go there for a stroll, sir?"
The rabbit demon's ears twitched, and its anger subsided slightly.
“Your suggestion is quite good,” it said, looking at Li Tian with satisfaction. “Although your Li family are humanoid demons, you are indeed shrewd and know how to get things done.”
The rabbit demon suddenly remembered something.
"correct."
"Your younger sister's name is Liying, right? I heard she found a husband recently?"
Li Tian bowed and replied, "Yes, sir, you remember clearly. My brother-in-law's name is Bai Ming, and he comes from the Eastern Xuan Continent."
The rabbit demon waved its little paws.
"Tomorrow, you three siblings will accompany me, the city lord, to try something new."
A hint of joy flashed in Li Tian's eyes: "Yes, sir!"

As evening fell, the tavern was bustling with thugs.
"Table number three! Five hundred servings of meat skewers, please!"
Where is our wine?
"What is the cook doing? Tell him to hurry up!"
"..."
Xiao Mei was so busy that she didn't have time to rest. When she looked up, she saw four guests coming in through the door.
The leader was a short man, wearing a cloak and a mask, but his subtle but imposing aura was undeniable.
Following behind were three humanoid demons, two men and one woman; the men were handsome and the woman was pretty.
Their clothes looked ordinary, but the materials were of excellent quality.
A big spender has arrived!
Little Sheep's eyes lit up, she quickly wiped her hands, and went to greet them herself.
"Distinguished guests, please come in!"
She led the four people to a private room and quickly handed them the menu.
The short customer glanced around and said in a shrill voice, "Bring me one of all the dishes from your shop!"
"okay!"
Little Sheep answered readily.
She stepped out of the private room and immediately approached the back room where Lu Yuguan was, lowering her voice.
"boss!"
"Several super-rich people have arrived, and they have an extraordinary aura!"
Lu Yuguan was checking the accounts when he heard this and looked up.
"Oh?"
"Treat them well."
He thought for a moment, then took out a barbecue grill and a bunch of seasonings from his system space.
"Bring this upstairs and teach them how to eat it."
"Also, remember to have a few drinks with the Fenjiu liquor in the courtyard, and make sure the distinguished guests are satisfied."
"understand!"
Xiao Mei understood and immediately told Er Gou and Si Si to move the things out.
*
Soon.
Plates of skewered raw meat and vegetables were brought out, along with several small dishes containing powdered seasonings.
The rabbit demon tilted its head curiously: "What is this?"
"Distinguished guests, this is our tavern's latest specialty—"
"Northeastern Barbecue!"
As she spoke, Xiao Mei lit a charcoal fire and placed the meat skewers on the rack.
Zila...
The oil drips down, releasing a rich aroma of meat!
The rabbit demon sniffed twice and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"
Xiao Mei flipped the meat skewers while explaining them.
"First sprinkle cumin to enhance the flavor, then sprinkle sesame seeds to add aroma..."
"Finally, some chili powder..."
She handed over the grilled meat skewers.
"Would you like to try it?"
The rabbit demon took it and tentatively took a bite.
Charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Salty, savory, spicy.
A variety of flavors exploded in my mouth.
"Hmm... benefits!"
The rabbit demon squinted contentedly, its ears twitching comfortably.
The other three also tried it themselves, and each of them was pleasantly surprised.
This taste.
Truly unique!
"Distinguished guests, let's pair this with this as well," Xiao Mei handed over an ice-cold beer, "A bite of meat, a sip of beer, a perfect match!"
Rabbit Demon did as instructed and took a big gulp.
The cool liquor washes away the greasiness, and the aroma of malt lingers in the throat.
"Cool!"
The rabbit demon couldn't help but praise.
Seeing this, Xiao Mei seized the opportunity and drank several cups with the other person.
*
After three rounds of drinking.
Bai Ming felt a bit bloated.
"Brother, I have a bit of an upset stomach, excuse me for a moment."
Li Tian glanced at him with displeasure: "You're such a busybody, hurry up and come back!"
Bai Ming nodded reluctantly and got up to go to the restroom.
After relieving himself, Bai Ming washed his hands and passed by a half-open door on his way back, glancing at it unintentionally.
A figure was seen with their back to the door, seemingly taking inventory of something.
Huh?
Why does this feel so familiar?
Bai Ming stopped in his tracks as if possessed and gently pushed open the door.
Eyes facing each other.
Lu Yuguan held the account book in his hand, his expression frozen.
Bai Ming stared at the familiar face, his pupils shrinking in disbelief.
"Second brother?!"
"Third brother?!"
"Why are you here?!"
Lu Yuguan's mind went blank.
Shouldn't Bai Ming be focusing on his cultivation at the Xuan Yu Sect?
Are you here for tourism?
wrong!
This is the Demon Realm!
Damn it?
The Xuanyu Sect has already invaded the Demon Realm?
As for Bai Ming, his left and right hemispheres were currently engaged in a battle of wits.
Didn't Yu Guan go to Zhongdu with the flying boat?
How did you end up in Demon Realm?
wrong!
Could it be that they know I married into the demon clan and have come to clean house for the Bai family?
"you……"
They both spoke at the same time.
"You speak first?"
They were both stunned at the same time.
"Ahhh! Third brother, please don't kill me! We're true love!"
"Ahhh! Second brother, don't expose me! I was actually pretending to be a demon!"
Lu Yuguan: “…”
Bai Ming: "..."
long silence.
Who have you fallen in love with?
"Miss Li Ying."
"..."
Didn't she say she didn't like you?
"I've got it."
"..."
"So why are you in Demon Realm?"
"Before entering her house, I didn't know she had demon blood."
"..."
"Second Brother, you are the bravest man in our Bai family."
