The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 20 So Sweet [Seeking Bookshelf, Seeking Recommendation]

With the arrival of the new year, Zun Zun is already eight years old.

This year has passed quickly.

A year passed in just ten chapters. He had only seen this in novels about cultivating immortals. If it was an ordinary farming novel, then the diary would have to contain at least several hundred chapters.

However, the Red Devil Village was just a countryside, and there was really nothing memorable about it. He spent every day either farming or on the way to farming, and nothing new happened.

...Isn't this still a lack of practice?

Only then did he realize in surprise that he had become so obsessed with farming that he had forgotten about practicing.

It is obvious that we farm for the purpose of spiritual practice. If we forget about spiritual practice for the sake of farming, isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?

We can't waste time like this any longer!

Although I have made up my mind, it is winter now, so I should just enjoy myself for the time being during the New Year period and take it as the last time to relax before working hard.

New Year's Day.

In the past, Zun Zun would stay at home. Although the Red Demon Clan would hold festivals to celebrate the New Year, Zun Zun thought it was too noisy and troublesome, so he never went out.

But this year it’s not possible, so the little girl came to see him specially.

"There is an affair!" X3
Under the deliberate tongue curling of the unscrupulous parents and the trapped sister, as well as strange looks mixed with encouragement, excitement, happiness, etc., Zun Zun had no choice but to come out with the little Loli.

"Zun Zun...Zun Zun finally has a friend! Mom is so happy!"

"As a father, I'm so happy! After all, Zun Zun has always been a loner, which makes me suspect that he was a loner in his previous life."

"Sister, I'm happy too!"

He heard these words as he left home.

Why are you crying so much? Do you think I can't find a friend? I'm just too lazy to look for one. Besides, the little girl is not a friend, she's just a pet.

Zun Zun curled his lips.

After leaving home, the two walked on the streets of the Red Demon Clan. Both sides of the road were lined with small stalls prepared by the Red Demon Clan, and the items sold were similar to those at Liben's festival.

Even though the Red Demon Clan is a small village with only 300 people, they spare no effort in creating a lively atmosphere.

I also heard that the village is discussing turning the Crimson Devil's Village into a tourist attraction next year, and now is the stage for advance experimental preparation.

The little girl is interested in everything on the street.

Then she couldn't move at a stall, her eyes fixed on the goods being sold, her bright scarlet eyes, just like when she saw the curry beef, even the stall owner was a little scared.

“Um, um… Huihui, do you want to eat this?”

"I want to eat it! I really want to eat it!"

"Then I'll give you one."

"Really? Thank you!"

So the little girl got an apple candy from the vendor and licked it happily. She came to Zun Zun and said proudly:
"Every time I do this, the store owner will give me something to eat."

"Yes, yes..."

Zun Zun curled the corner of his mouth.

It was more like alms than giving her away. They felt that if she stayed there any longer it would hinder their business, so they had to give her food and send her away.

And seeing how skilled she was, I guess she had done this many times before.

I really want to ask her if she still has any dignity as a human being.

However, when faced with the threat to survival, dignity really cannot fill one's stomach.

After that, the two continued walking on the street. I thought the little girl would use the same trick to eat her fill here, but she didn't do that.

It's not that she has a conscience, but she understands that it is not sustainable to exhaust all resources. The stores here are her backup energy, and she has to use them bit by bit. When Zun Zun knew about this, he was completely confused.

There are many famous attractions in the Red Devil Village.

For example, the top of Lingfeng Dragon Mountain, the cemetery of the evil god, the place where the goddess was sealed, the underground hangar of the mysterious huge facility... and so on, why are they all forbidden areas?

I have to sigh, there are really many dangerous places in the Crimson Demon Village. But these are not inherently there, many of them are actively sought out by the Crimson Demons.

For example, the Evil God's Cemetery. Because they thought it was cool to seal an evil god in the village, the Crimson Demon Clan went there specifically to unseal the evil god's original seal, and then moved it to the Crimson Demon Village to reseal it.

Another example is the observation deck Vanirmite, which can be seen thousands of miles away. This is a powerful magic tool that can clearly observe the Demon King's Castle from the Crimson Devil Village. However, in order to develop the tourism industry, the village directly restricted the observation location to the Demon King's daughter's room, providing real-time images 24 hours a day.

Therefore, there is a reason why the Demon King's army hates the Crimson Demons so much.

As they walked, they came to a shrine.

Every New Year, people from the Red Devil Village would come to worship. The shrine is similar to the shrine in Tachimoto. Outside is a torii gate that is about wide enough for two people to walk through at the same time, and the shrine is ten meters away from the torii gate.

It was originally just an ordinary small shrine, but the two words "Cat Ears" hanging above the shrine completely destroyed its solemn atmosphere.

What’s even more outrageous is that what is enshrined in the shrine is a cat-eared girl figurine!

According to Sister Tao Lao, a long time ago, the ancestor of the Red Demon Clan rescued a traveler who was attacked by a monster. The other party gave them this [statue] as a thank-you gift, and the traveler once said this.

"——To me, this is something more important than my life." Although they didn't know where this god came from, the ancestors of the Red Demon Clan thought that they would definitely receive some blessings if they worshipped him, so they simply worshipped the statue.

Of course, this shrine was also built based on the descriptions of travelers.

I dare to bet that the traveler must be one of the time travelers sent by the stupid goddess, and he is also a otaku who likes figures!
He couldn't help but cover his cheeks. That's why he didn't want to come out.

There are many similar places in the Crimson Devil's Village.

For example, the mixed bathing hot spring is neither a mixed bath nor a hot spring, but just an ordinary public bath. There is also the Succubus Underwear Bar, which has neither succubus nor underwear, but just an ordinary tavern.

In short, if you have expectations, that person will definitely be hurt.

The names of these places seem to have been given by the same person, but unfortunately, neither Sister Trouble nor anyone else is quite sure who gave them the names. It could be because it has been too long, or it could be for some other reason.

Time passed quickly, and it was dark in the blink of an eye. It is winter now, and the daytime is very short.

Sudden--

Rumble, rumble!

There was a loud explosion at the entrance of the village, and fireworks of various colors exploded in the sky. No, those were not fireworks, but magic released by the Crimson Demons. Compared with spending money to buy fireworks, simply casting magic is more suitable for the Crimson Demons.

Of course, this is also an annual program of the Red Demon Tribe to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

Huihui looked up, staring in a trance at the gorgeous magic that kept exploding in the sky.

At this time, Zun Zun took out a bag from his back, handed it to the little Loli beside him, and said, "Here you go, a New Year's gift."

"Gift?"

The little girl looked at the bag in surprise and said awkwardly, "But I didn't prepare any gifts..."

"No, no, no."

Zun Zun waved his hand.

The little Loli's family is really poor, so it is impossible for her to prepare gifts.

however--

"Give."

"what?"

"For you to eat."

Huihui handed over the remaining half of the candy apple.

"…Are you serious? Who would give a candy apple that has been eaten as a gift? Besides, this is a gift from the vendor, right?"

"But this is all I have now, and it's delicious."

She put the candy to his mouth.

Zun Zun looked at the stubborn little Loli, then looked at the half-bitten candy, and then——

"Well!"

He took a bite and his eyes lit up.

"So sweet!"

"Yeah, candy apples are delicious."

Then Huihui looked at the bag in her hand and asked, “Um… can I open it now?”

"as you like."

After getting the answer, the little girl opened the bag.

This is the first time that Zun Zun has prepared New Year gifts for others. In the past, apart from trapping his sister and parents, he has not prepared any gifts, and he doesn’t know if the little Loli will like it.

After opening the bag, there was a pair of blue and white gloves inside.

"What? It's not food."

The little girl was a little disappointed.

Good man, you are still picky.

Zun Zun was a little angry, but after thinking about it, he realized that she might want food more than clothes and other things.

"If you don't like it, give it back to me."

"No, I love it."

Huihui shook her head and put on the blue and white gloves.

"——So warm."

Her cold hands were wrapped in soft cotton cloth, and a slightly red face, which was frozen by the cold, showed a slightly happy smile.
