My love game is too abstract.

Chapter 208: The Beautiful Yearning for the Demons
"Ji Xiaofei, tell Sister Martha why Yaluo is so mean to you?"

Walking on the way back to the farm, Martha held a barrel of cider in her left hand and held Ji Xiaofei's hand with her right hand, and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Hmm..." Ji Xiaofei lowered her head, not daring to say why. After thinking about it, she said:

"Yes, it's because I stole Yaluo's cucumber, so he..."

Martha looked at Xiao Ji's evasive eyes and knew in her heart that she was making it up.

Feeling that she couldn't get anything out of it, she gave up.

Soon he brought Ji Xiaofei back to the farm.

As soon as I came back, I saw Da Zhuang dragging a bleating sheep and sneaking towards the shed.

"Da Zhuang, what are you doing?" Martha asked when she saw him.

"Oh, Martha, you're back." Da Zhuang immediately let go of the sheep, looking a little uneasy and scratching his head.

"Well, I'm interrogating these sheep to see which one stole my shoes."

"Sheep won't eat these things."

"Yes, really? Then I'll go ask the cow at home," Da Zhuang said. Then he saw Ji Xiaofei, pointed at her in confusion and asked:
"Isn't this the chicken that Yaluo raised? Why is it here?"

"What chicken?" Martha said to him helplessly, "Ji Xiaofei ran away today, so I brought her back first."

"Hello! I am Xiao Ji who is training to be a brave warrior!" Ji Xiaofei said to Da Zhuang politely.

"Oh, okay, okay, welcome, welcome." Da Zhuang laughed, moved his body and ran away quickly.

"Well, I'm going to go clean the bullpen first."

Martha pulled Ji Xiaofei into the house.

"Dad, Mom, look who's here."

John and his wife were surprised when they saw Ji Xiaofei:

"Ji Xiaofei? Why are you here? Why are you alone?"

"Xiaoji, I'm running away from home now, training as a hero. I stopped by here and added some mushrooms to yours!"

Ji Xiaofei bowed deeply to them, and the backpack on her back fell onto her head.

"It's causing trouble, isn't it?" Martha smiled helplessly, and then said to her parents, "This child had a conflict with Yaluo, so he ran out alone."

Hearing this, Father John immediately frowned and began to preach:
"How can this be possible? Ji Xiaofei, no matter what, running away from home is very dangerous. Do you know how dangerous it is? You are a girl, and you are still running around when it is almost dark."

John's mother looked very concerned and pulled Ji Xiaofei over to ask.

"Did you have a conflict with Yaluo? Did he hit you? Or did he do something bad to you?"

"Hmm" Someone cared about her, Ji Xiaofei immediately pouted in grievance and complained to John's mother:

"Yalo spanked me, and it hurt."

"The same goes for Yalu. How can you physically punish such a young child? Selena doesn't care about him?" John's mother blamed.

"Selena hit me too. It hurt more." Ji Xiaofei said more aggrievedly.

Hearing this, John's mother fell silent.

If Serena was so angry that she resorted to violence, it would be hard for her to be sure whether Xiao Ji had really done anything wrong.

"It's getting late now. I'll send a message to Yalu first. Xiaoji, you can stay at our house tonight and go back tomorrow." Martha said.

It seems that this child ran away from home only because of a momentary grievance. Let her stay outside for two days to relax. I guess there won't be so many problems. Maybe she will forget about it tomorrow.

kid.

Martha smiled and patted Ji Xiaofei's head: "We have guests coming to our farm tonight, and we will prepare a big dinner."

"Feast." Ji Xiaofei's eyes lit up immediately when she heard the word, and she raised her hands and cheered: "Great!"

Martha wrote a letter to Yaluo and sent it via a household owl messenger, telling them that Ji Xiaofei was with them and they didn't need to worry and could come to pick her up tomorrow.

At night, a long table was set up in the farm yard to entertain Mai Wen, a good friend who came from afar.

Mai Wen was a traveling merchant with a big beard. He had a close relationship with John in his early years and often visited them.

He was a very warm person and gave John a big bear hug as soon as he came in. "Old John! My God! You're getting old again!"

"Who isn't! Haha!" John said with a smile.

Mai Wen then greeted John's mother and Martha Dazhuang in turn.

Then his gaze shifted to Ji Xiaofei, who was squatting on the ground not far away and playing with a kitten.

He was stunned for a moment, then whispered to John, "Have you expanded the range of breeding types on your farm?"

"What? That's the child of Yaluo's family. Now he ran away because of the conflict and came to live in our house first." John said.

Only then did Mai Wen understand that he had seen Yalu before and had heard John talk about some of the current situation in a letter.

Dinner began. Ji Xiaofei looked at the table full of delicious food with shining eyes and her mouth was watering.

"Martha Martha, I want to eat that!" Ji Xiaofei pointed at the whole roasted suckling pig with a charred brown and shiny crispy skin, and begged Martha while pulling her arm.

Martha used a knife to cut off a piece of roast pork with crispy skin and juice and put it on her small plate.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to burn it."

Ji Xiaofei picked up a small piece of pork with a fork, blew on it to make it hot, and stuffed it into her mouth.

The crispy skin makes a crunchy sound when you bite it, and the meat is tender and very delicious.

"Great." Her mouth was soon full of food, and the corners of her mouth were glistening with oil.

"Slow down." Martha wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

She had a delicious meal here, while John and Mai Wen were chatting happily with a glass of cider each.

"I have to tell you my story in the Kingdom of Saviton! It's so exciting!" Mai Wen said, patting John on the shoulder.

"Oh? Saviton? Isn't that the territory of the demons? Maiwen, you even went there." John was very surprised.

"Doing business, isn't it just about running around?" Mai Wen took a big sip of wine and chuckled:
"Let me tell you, the demon tribe isn't anything special, but sexy succubi are everywhere!"

"What is a sexy succubus?"

Xiaoji asked curiously while chewing the pork.

Mai Wen then realized that there were children present today and he couldn't speak without restraint as before.

He smiled awkwardly and stammered, "Uh, that's it. That's it."

"She's the big sister who cooks delicious food," Martha interrupted.

"Oh, then Selena is also a succubus. Her cooking is super delicious." Ji Xiaofei said.

"Oh no, that's not what I meant." Martha didn't expect her to think that way and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

In the end, Mai Wen got away with it.

"Oh! I remember now. Speaking of the demon tribe! Their sacrificial festival is super fun! It's even more lively than our harvest festival, you know? More than a hundred flying elephants pulling all kinds of floats, with demon priests dancing with staffs on them, as well as skeleton flaming horses, flying sparks, and a super beautiful rain of fireworks."

Mai Wen became more and more excited as he spoke. He took a sip of wine and continued:
"The demons also have a tradition of gladiatorial combat. On the day of the festival, the arena in the capital is free for everyone. Not only can you see exciting battles, but there are also various performances to watch. This atmosphere lasts for several days, and every day is bustling and lively, all night long."

Ji Xiaofei listened to what he said, forgot to chew, blinked her eyes, and her mind flew away.

"The fun things to do in the Demon Tribe include not only the Sacrifice Festival, but also the Nightmare Hunting Day. At that time, they will select the bravest warriors and the most ferocious monsters, and put them in a very large hunting ground to see who can catch more prey. The magic screen will be broadcast directly to the public, which is very exciting. The final winner will also receive the title of Heavenly Crown and will be respected by everyone in the Demon Tribe in the future." Mai Wen said.

"But I also heard that the Demon King, the ruler of the demon tribe, is very cruel," said John.

Mai Wen waved his hand. "Don't listen to the news. I've even heard the Demon King give a speech on the magic screen, offering congratulatory remarks for the Festival. But the Demon King is very mysterious and never shows up."

He glanced at Ji Xiaofei, who was already listening intently, and smiled at her: "See, you are really looking forward to it, right? If you are obedient, you can let Yaluo take you there."

"Well"

Ji Xiaofei finally realized that she really wanted Yaluo to take her to the Demon Clan's Kingdom of Savidon to play and see what Mai Wen had said, but when she thought about the fact that she had already run away from home, she lowered her head in frustration.

"but."

She thought again,
"I can go by myself."
