C20 Taotie and Its Demons

He wiped his face with some grief and indignation. Finally, he stopped looking at his surroundings and walked towards the room in front of him.

The door to the room was ajar. He stood at the door and peeked inside. Then, he heard a clear male voice coming from inside.

"Come in, don't poke your head out."

The voice was lazy and nasal, as if he had just woken up. Xie Liao's face turned red. There seemed to be an inexplicable sense of temptation in this voice, making one's mind drift uncontrollably.

After all, Taotie was clearly a glutton. Why would such a foxy and seductive attribute appear on such a thousand-year-old demon?

He silently cursed in his heart, but he still followed his words and pushed open the door to enter the room.

Before coming here, Xie Liao thought seriously about the image of a certain demon. However, when he saw the man in front of him, he realized that his imagination was indeed lacking.

He was clearly just a back figure, yet inexplicably, he gave off a deep and heavy feeling. His long hair was let loose on his back and reflected the light on the water. His posture was calm and unhurried.

Just the back of his figure was inexplicably captivating, not to mention his direct confrontation with her.

"Does it look good?" The clear male voice sounded, then Xie Liao saw Xie Liao's body move and his neck slowly turned around.

Somehow, Xie Liao felt his heart beat faster. He was looking forward to seeing the man's face, but when the man turned around, Xie Liao's heart beat even faster. It was as if he was going to scream and break his throat.

The man's face turned around, revealing only his long hair. Following that, he straightened his back and turned around … Another back.

Xie Liao's scream was choked in his throat as he clenched his fists. His pupils widened. He didn't react for a long time, only staring at the back of the long-haired man in front of him.

That "wonderful" back quietly looked at Xie Liao. After a long while, when Xie Liao didn't react, he slowly spoke.

"Eh, why isn't there any reaction? Didn't they say that they're timid?" The voice was very light, but it inexplicably made people feel like it was whispering in his ear, floating like willow leaves and singing like a lover. If it wasn't for the fact that his words didn't sound good, then it would really be fascinating.

Xie Liao pursed his lips, forcing himself not to make a sound and to accept the reality as soon as possible.

"Oh, I hate it." After murmuring with a hint of regret, his back finally changed. His long hair disappeared and his body changed, revealing a human face.

However, Xie Liao didn't have the mood to observe how stunning that face was anymore. His legs were weak and his whole body was weak and slightly twitching along with Parkinson's disease. He was holding the door frame to prevent himself from falling down to the ground in shame.

"Alright, come over here. Boss Yan wants me to get you an ID certificate." After his figure returned to normal, Taotie lazily sat on the chair and crossed his legs. Disappointment could be seen in his eyes. It was obvious that he was displeased that he had not truly scared Xie Liao.

"Oh, that, okay." Xie Liao was so scared that he lost his three souls. He floated over with a blank expression and stood firmly in front of the lazy man.

Taotie looked him up and down, his fingers lightly slipped and a faint red color appeared in the air. Those red color formed a string of strange characters in the air. Before Xie Liao had the chance to be surprised, the characters rushed to his forehead and disappeared in a flash.

"Eh?" He touched his forehead in surprise and heard a certain demon mutter to him, "Aiya, this is too big of a loss. So painful. Old Man Yan knew he was going to take advantage of me. I didn't even settle the score with him last time!"

"Eh?" There was an inexplicable feeling in his words. Xie Liao felt a strange feeling in his heart. However, he comforted himself that he was overthinking it. After all, he had lived with Boss Yan for more than a thousand years, so their relationship must be extraordinary.

"Hey, kid, let me ask you a question." A certain fiendish demon leaned forwards, curiosity and curiosity could be seen in its eyes. Its eyes flickered as the corners of its lips curled upwards, asking in a low voice, "Are you really that fellow's illegitimate child?"

"Cough, cough." Xie Liao took two steps back and kept coughing. This question was too vulgar, he didn't know how to answer.

"Why do you ask?" Xie Liao asked in embarrassment. If it wasn't because the person in front of him was a demon that had lived for more than a thousand years and could eat people, he would have definitely smashed the stool in front of him.

"Well, if it wasn't because you were his illegitimate child, why did he treat you so well? Even little octopus did not get such treatment, with the support of my own hands, from now on you will not be so easily hurt by monsters and monsters, this is the first time you have received such treatment! "

Taotie sighed with emotion. The curiosity in his eyes was mixed with a faint killing intent, making him both seductive and elegant.

"Um, I know that everyone might be suspicious of my identity, but I have my parents and my relationship with Boss Yan isn't any bit out of the ordinary. I hope you won't make such a joke in the future." A rare look of seriousness appeared on his face. Even though his parents died early, he still felt the warmth of childhood in his heart. He really couldn't stand people questioning his identity time and time again.

"Oh, so it's like that." Seeing Xie Liao's serious expression, Taotie couldn't be bothered to tease him anymore. He turned around, narrowed his eyes and said lazily, "Then I have another question."

"Yes, please ask." Xie Liao had an ominous premonition.

"Wasn't I scary just now? Why didn't you faint?"

Xie Liao: "..."

"I heard that you fainted twice today. The first time was because of the little ghost in old man Yan's house, and the second time was because of the little spider in the little octopus' house. My appearance was obviously very scary, so why didn't you faint?"

Xie Liao: "..." That was why everyone knew about him.

Taotie's eyes clearly told him of this cruel reality. Yes, not only the entire district knew about it, but these incidents would also become a joke for them in the future.

Xie Liao: "..." Could he choose death?

Seeing that he really wanted to die, Taotie smiled without giving him any face at all. He turned around in the chair, stretched out a slender finger and slowly shook it, then said calmly, "Little octopus and the others probably told you about the division of labor. You should be careful when you're working as a civilian; it's not that simple in the underworld now."

Xie Liao: "..." Wasn't he just a civilian? Could something big have happened?

"Alright, let's go. I'm looking forward to your performance today." A smile appeared on Taotie's face. Looking at Xie Liao's malicious expression, he thought, "Ahh, I'm so happy. Old Man Yan is indeed a good person. He knows that he's bored every day, so he decided to find some fun for him.

Xie Liao: "..." Are there any good people in this world?
