late at night.

"What, it turns out that I am an insignificant person in the eyes of the Demon King. My feelings are just wishful thinking. Xixisuosuo, Xixisuosuo, Xixisuosuo..."

The Demon King curled up in the quilt and shivered.

The source of her fear was not the strange story before, but the wise general with dead eyes who was huddled in the corner of her dormitory and thinking.

early morning.

"It's the same with cooking. Even if I cook it seriously, it's still the same. Compared to my cooking, the witch's stuff is more attractive. I might as well just rot away. Sip, sip, sip, sip, sip... ....”

Half of Li Mo's lifeless face was revealed from under the toilet stall.

The Demon King was trembling while sitting on the toilet.

noon.

"What a wise general, I have been working as a cleaner all day long since I started taking care of the Demon King. I am the only one who cleans such a big Demon King's city. What am I doing for this? Xixisuosuo, Xixisuosuo, Xixisuosuo. ....."

There was a depressing air around Li Mo. He mechanically placed the food on the Demon King's table and retreated behind the Demon King. His stiff movements made him look like a living dead.

The devil was sitting at the dining table shivering.

She could feel the resentful gaze behind her, and that gaze sent chills down her spine. She was sure that if she turned around and met that gaze, she would never be able to get out of the shadows in her life.

"I......"

"ah!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Demon King's nerves, which were already on the verge of collapse, completely collapsed just after hearing Li Mo's voice.

For the first time, the demon king's screams rang out in the royal city. He rushed out of the door with his head in his hands and fled the demon king's city without daring to look back.

Li Mo became the first person in history to expel the Demon King from the Demon King's City.

Congratulations, congratulations.

"No! I just want you to think of a solution!"

The little black cat napping by the stove opened one eye because of the devil's roar, glanced at her lazily, and then fell asleep again.

In the snowy forest, a few wisps of smoke flow out of the exquisite wooden house, and the warm firelight shines through the windows, giving it a sense of homecoming.

This is the witch's home.

The Demon King who escaped from the city had nowhere to go and had no choice but to seek refuge with the Forest Witch who lived nearby.

The Demon King drank the hot milk in his hand in one gulp and cast his expectant eyes on the Witch who was smiling happily because of her story.

"I would like to know what your plans are, little devil?"

The witch, who maintained this mysterious attire even in her own home, smiled mischievously and wiped away the milk stuck to the devil's lips with her handkerchief.

"Didn't you say before that you are very good at killing with curses?"

The Demon King lowered his voice, with a fierce look in his eyes, and crushed the wooden cup in his hand into powder.

"Are you the devil?!"

"No, it's the Demon King."

The witch was sure that the devil's words were 70% serious. She was indeed shocked by the devil's words, but after thinking about it carefully, considering the identity of the girl in front of her, this might be the right approach.

Holding his forehead, the rune eyes on the cloak also turned into a troubled look.

"If you say that, little devil, I understand how bad that guy Li Mo's current situation is."

"It's good that you understand, so please give me some advice, witch."

The clever witch easily sensed the devil's true intentions.

"Haha, to put it simply, is this a way to reconcile with Li Mo?"

"......Um."

After a moment of childish silence, he tightened his body and nodded slightly.

"Isn't it actually very simple? Even the little devil should know that at this time, just say those three words sincerely."

"Those three words?"

"That's right, that's right, let's try it out and see."

The witch smiled. She knew Li Mo's character. In fact, there was no need to apologize or say sorry. As long as the little devil talked to him, Li Mo could return to normal.

but!

As an older person, you must provide correct guidance to the younger generations. You must be responsible for what the stinky man who calls himself a wise general cannot teach.

"Um......"

The Demon King held his head with his fingers, frowning and thinking hard. After a few seconds, he suddenly became enlightened and seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted. He smiled at the Witch with a sweet smile like an angel:

"go to hell?"

"Are you the devil?"

"No, it's the Demon King."

That's right, he's the Demon King. It's natural to say so.

The witch shed helpless tears and secretly apologized to Li Mo. Maybe she had made things irreversible.

"Actually...Actually, Yu also knows that if he apologizes, A-li will be very happy, and today is the same. He ran out like this. A-li must have not eaten and is waiting for Yu to go back, but...but... ....."

At the moment when silence was about to fall, the Demon King suddenly spoke.

"You are really amazing, Li Mo."

Looking at this girl who was squirming as if she was having trouble, the witch realized that she had lost, whether it was cooking or teaching others.

A smile appeared on the witch's face and she put her hand on the devil's head.

"Some words are indeed difficult to say, so let's change our strategy and give something to that Zhi Jiang."

"But what is a good gift? Yu actually doesn't know what Li Mo likes."

"It's very simple. Since his food is not delicious, wouldn't you do something to let him know what real deliciousness is? Besides, didn't you say that he didn't eat either?"

"But, but... Yu can't cook, A Li has always done it."

The Demon King grabbed the hem of his skirt, lowered his head, and spoke to the Witch in a voice that sounded like a mosquito.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not here, right?"

The witch shook her head and pinched her fleshy cheek gently.

"Let's try baking some biscuits this time. As long as you control the heat, everything else is easy."

The witch looked at the blocked sink in her house, smiled helplessly, and then formulated a plan that was most suitable for the current stage.

"Um."

The Demon King nodded desperately, his eyes shining, perhaps remembering the taste of the biscuits the Witch usually brought, and some saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you."

The witch suddenly said this while helping the devil put on his apron.

"Well, you go ahead and I will answer you everything."

Perhaps thinking that he would have biscuits to eat later, the devil became in a good mood, and he readily agreed before the witch asked any questions.

"At that time, why did the little devil say that my potato stew won? Although I didn't want to admit it, Zhi Jiang's curry was indeed better. I still have this self-knowledge."

"That's because, because..."

The Demon King stared blankly in the direction of the Demon King's City through the window. The expression on her face was not sadness or nostalgia, but an indescribable but somewhat sad expression.

"Because Yu, I have been eating the food made by A Li. For a long, long time, only A Li has been willing to be by my side. So, witch, I am really happy that you can come over. You are the second one." Someone who can accept Yu’s willfulness.”

"Little devil..."

"However, Yu still needs to go back as soon as possible. Yu's family members are very afraid of being lonely."

The Demon King smiled shyly at the Witch.

The witch was deeply moved by the little devil's words, but she knew just by looking at the little devil's expression that the person she wanted to show this smile to was probably Li Mo.

For a moment, the witch was really jealous of Li Mo.

"Okay, let's show off our skills!"

"oh!"

The witch cheered up and started preparing the kitchen utensils and ingredients needed to bake cookies.

Biscuit can't lose to that wise general this time, or so the witch thought.

"Really, Lord Demon King, where have you gone? Are you hungry? What if you meet a brave man? Forget it, my worries are unnecessary anyway. I'll just continue to die like this alone. I know. Suosuo, Xixisuosuo, Xixisuosuo..."

The afterglow of the setting sun slipped in quietly through the skylight, making Li Mo, who was huddled at the gate of Demon King's City, look a little lonely, while the Four Heavenly Kings in his hands were foaming at the expense of suffocation.

Clang——

The gate to the Demon King's City was pushed open.

"You are really making trouble."

Li Mo followed the sound and saw that the witch was standing at the door with Yu Hui on her back, her eyes on the hood smiling playfully at him.

"What are you doing here? I'm not in the mood to argue with you now."

"I don't intend to quarrel with you, I just brought someone to see you."

The witch waved her hand gently, and the devil poked his head out from behind her, but his eyes kept dodging.

"Lord Demon King, run to..."

"Ali, this is for you."

Before Li Mo finished speaking, the Demon King ran to Li Mo and handed the biscuits wrapped in a paper bag to Li Mo.

"This is……"

"It's a biscuit made by a witch. I...I actually didn't help much."

Li Mo took the biscuit from the Demon King's hand, opened a small gap, and the warm fragrance came out.

"I'm sorry, Ali, actually I..."

"I know, Lord Demon King."

"Um."

Just a few unwritten words allowed the feelings of both parties to be conveyed to each other intact.

"Isn't this a good thing to say? It seems that we can reconcile quickly even without my help."

The witch who wanted to complain could only helplessly shake her head.

"You are really amazing, Li Mo. It seems that I have completely lost."

The witch who walked up to Li Mo held out her hand.

Li Mo showed a helpless smile and then held the witch's hand.

"What are you doing?! Why are you holding someone else's hand!"

But he didn't expect the witch to quickly withdraw Li Mo's hand as soon as it touched her.

"Then what do you mean by this claw!"

Li Mo couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and roared as if he had been cheated.

"Money, money, the cost of biscuit materials, the repair cost of my oven, and the first time I saw an oven explode. Although I was not injured, I still have to pay for mental damage. I didn't say that. It’s free.”

The witch stretched out her hand again and shook it in front of Li Mo.

He quickly turned to look at the Demon King.

"Hahaha, Yu Du said I was sorry..."

The Demon King played with his fingers and moved his eyes to the side in embarrassment.

"big boss!!!!!!"

This month, Demon King City's finances may not be as simple as a deficit.
