Chapter 142: Human Pretends to Be a Fox
"Yes, yes, sir, you are right. The brothers have worked hard, and they need some compensation."
When the tiger and leopard demons heard that there was a chance of improvement, they quickly continued the conversation, thinking that as long as they could get away with it, any conditions would be acceptable.
"How about this, you go and take out all the good wine and meat hidden in your tribe as a reward for the brothers, and I will pretend that I have never seen you."
Ximen Tianyu raised his lips in a playful smile, as if he really intended to let him go.
Although the tiger and leopard demon was somewhat dissatisfied with Ximen Tianyu's arrogant attitude, he did not dare to show it and could only nod and agree: "Okay, okay, I'll go and prepare it right away. However, you have to let me go back first, otherwise how can I prepare it?"
"Go back?" Ximen Tianyu raised his eyebrows, as if he could see through his thoughts. "We are already so tired, and you still want us to walk so far? How about this, you ask your men to bring it over, right at the foot of the mountain, and we will wait. Remember, don't play tricks, if we can't get the meat, the patrol team that comes tomorrow will not be ours."
The tiger and leopard demon listened to Ximen Tianyu's threatening words, and his face became even uglier, but the situation was stronger than the person, so he could only nod in agreement. So, he quickly contacted his accomplices who were watching nearby and asked them to prepare a sumptuous midnight snack and send it over.
While waiting for supper, Ximen Tianyu and Tushan Yaya did not relax their vigilance. They monitored the tiger and leopard spirits around them to make sure they did not make any unusual movements.
The tiger and leopard demons sat on the ground with a bitter look on their faces, praying secretly in their hearts that this storm would pass as soon as possible.
Not long after, the midnight snack arrived. With the help of the moonlight, Ximen Tianyu saw the food sent by the tiger and leopard tribe, and immediately slapped the tiger and leopard monster on the forehead.
The reason was simple: the food delivered was all raw meat covered in blood.
"You bastards! Do you think we are as low-class as you? How dare you treat us with this raw meat!"
Ximen Tianyu's voice was filled with anger, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring directly at the tiger and leopard monster.
The tiger-leopard demon was dazzled by the slap. His rage grew but he still didn't dare to flare up: "My Lord, please calm down. This meat is from a newly slaughtered sika deer. It is already the finest delicacy of our tiger-leopard tribe..."
"Asshole!" Before the tiger and leopard demon could finish his explanation, Ximen Tianyu gave him another big fight, "Listen, I'll give you one more chance. Tell your men to go back immediately and prepare cooked food, drinks, and clean tableware. If you dare to neglect it again this time, don't blame us for being rude."
"Sir... My Lord... We, the tiger and leopard tribe, have always eaten raw meat. No monster knows how to cook it."
The tiger and leopard demon seemed to be frightened by Ximen Tianyu's beating, and his voice was trembling a little.
"Um?"
Ximen Tianyu frowned, obviously surprised by the tiger and leopard demon's answer, but then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had thought of something.
"Can't cook? Then find someone who can! I'll give you half an hour to have your men find a nearby monster that can cook. Remember, I want more than just cooked food, but real gourmet food."
The tiger and leopard demon's face turned even uglier when he heard this, but he knew that resistance would only make the situation worse, so he had no choice but to agree. He quickly ordered several companions to split up and complete the task within half an hour.
"It seems that you have a high status in the Tiger and Leopard Clan." Ximen Tianyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the Tiger and Leopard Spirit with a bit of amusement in his eyes, "You can command so many subordinates, so you must be a well-known person." The Tiger and Leopard Spirit was startled and shook his head to deny it quickly: "My lord, I am just lucky enough to be appreciated by my elder brother and be appointed as his military advisor. How can I compare with the masters of Tushan?"
It was bad luck that after receiving the order from the tiger demon leader, Tiger Military Advisor Tiger Vanguard visited the surrounding demon tribes and confirmed that they had all received Tushan's invitation. Then Tiger Military Advisor had roughly believed the news that Tushan Honghong was still alive.
After all, this matter has caused such a big stir. If Tushan Honghong is not present at the banquet, Tushan will surely be coveted by a large number of monsters.
Therefore, Tiger Military Advisor thought that since Tushan had released the news, then Tushan Honghong must still be alive. This is also why Tiger Vanguard did not dare to turn against Ximen Tianyu.
Soon, half an hour had passed. Just as Ximen Tianyu was about to continue his attack, a group of tiger and leopard demon subordinates who looked a little panicked came hurriedly, carrying various food boxes and wine jugs in their hands.
"Sir, we found it! These are the foods made by a nearby pigeon. She heard that you are our guest and prepared them carefully."
A tiger and leopard spirit carefully presented the food box with a flattering tone.
Ximen Tianyu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he immediately signaled his men to open the food box and check. Inside were a variety of steaming, fragrant dishes and several pots of wine that looked mouth-watering.
"Not bad, it seems you guys are quite sincere."
Ximen Tianyu nodded with satisfaction, and immediately invited Tushan Yaya and other patrol members to enjoy this unexpected dinner together.
Just as Ximen opened his mouth wide to enjoy the meal, Tushan Yaya suddenly hit him on the head with a slap.
“Yaya…”
The sudden attack made Ximen Tianyu forget to disguise his voice. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately covered it up with a low and majestic voice: "What's wrong, Guard Yaya? Is there anything wrong?"
Tushan Yaya frowned slightly. Ximen Tianyu's greedy appearance reminded her of a cockroach. But she quickly calmed down and said in a low voice: "Little cockroach, how can you be so unprepared when facing such food of unknown origin? What if these stupid cats want to harm us..."
"Don't worry, Sister Yaya." Ximen Tianyu also responded in a low voice, "If these tiger monsters wanted to harm us, they would have done it long ago. Why would they have to go to such great lengths?"
Although he said this, Ximen Tianyu used his heart mirror to roughly feel the thoughts of these tiger monsters for the sake of safety. After confirming that there was no problem, he once again invited everyone to sit around and start tasting these delicacies.
Tushan Yaya looked at Ximen Tianyu's confident look, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, and she leaned away.
Ximen Tianyu did not notice Tushan Yaya's subtle behavior. He was enjoying the food while listening to several other guards chatting about some interesting things. The atmosphere gradually became harmonious with the aroma of food and the relaxed conversation.
