After being sacrificed to the four demon kings

Lin Xi knows that his property is not worth mentioning to the devil, but taking part of the cat cafe's turnover to thank Taxue has special meaning for both of them.

The ritual sense of gift giving is very necessary.

Lin Xi insisted on this very much.

The boutique street for buying gifts is located in the heart of the commercial district of Snow City.

In the evening, there is not much traffic in the commercial area, which is suitable for Lin Xi to go shopping alone.Lin Xi now pays attention to the time and place when he goes out, because he is too famous in the city of stepping on the snow, and if he is not careful when he goes out, he will attract a lot of people.

As the Demon King, Ta Xue is a very prestigious ruler in the city. People both respect him and are curious about the private life of His Majesty the Demon King.Taxue himself is cold and reticent and not easy to get close to, but Lin Xi has a gentle temper and is easy to get along with.The masses all like Jihuolinxi.

Everyone always asked him about the progress of their relationship with His Majesty the Demon King with concern. Sometimes there were too many gossips, and the streets would even be crowded.

Lin Xi doesn't mind chatting with everyone about daily life. He replaces the devil and goes to the grassroots to walk into the masses, which is good for the image of the ruler of Treading Snow.But it is immoral to occupy traffic resources for a long time, and it is not good to block the intersection and affect the normal passage of others.

So most of the time, Lin Xi went out during the time when there were few pedestrians.

Tonight, Lin Xi and Ta Xue made an appointment to meet at a high-end restaurant in the business district, and the horse-drawn carriage arrived on time at 07:30.Before that, there were more than two hours to go shopping, and Lin Xi confidently chose an elegant gift for Ta Xue, which must be worthy of Ta Xue's elegant and charming temperament.

In order not to attract attention, Lin Xi specially wore the daily clothes of Snow City, a simple cloak and robe that shades the sun.He made himself look like a merchant in a souk so that no one would notice him as he wandered the streets.

Lin Xi walked around the boutique street and picked out a high-end jewelry store.

He opened the door and walked in, lowering the brim of his hat to cover his face.

He has to be quiet.

Walking into the store, the clerk greeted him with a smile: "Hello, what do you need?"

Lin Xi went to the counter while looking at it: "I want to buy an accessory for a friend, um...he is a very good-looking person."

The clerk followed him to the counter and took out several high-end jewelry placed in a black velvet jewelry box.

The clerk introduced to Lin Xi: "These are all high-end gifts and accessories that have been on the market recently, including headwear, necklaces, bracelets, anklets... There are also clothing accessories such as brooches and cuffs. May I ask what kind of decorations does His Majesty the Demon King like? ?”

Lin Xi thought about it: "He likes... huh?!"

Lin Xi was stunned.

Why was he recognized? He obviously pulled down the brim of his hat!

Lin Xi immediately denied Sanlian: "It's not the devil king, there is no devil king, don't talk nonsense!"

He didn't dare to shout too loudly, he already felt suspicious eyes from the customers around him.The customers seemed to smell the gossip. They heard someone talking about His Majesty the Demon King?

The clerk still had a wide smile on his face, but said softly and considerately: "When you just walked into the store, our clerk could tell that it is the purpose of our store to provide customers with supreme service. How could we not recognize you, Texue? The city's most honored guest."

Lin Xi felt very embarrassed.

People had recognized him long ago, and he was pretending to be deceiving in his cloak.

He quietly greeted the clerk: "Thank you, please speak in a low voice so that no one can hear you. I want to give Taxue a commemorative gift, but actually I don't know what he likes, he likes everything. No shortage."

The clerk thought for a while, and held out a small red velvet box.

He opened the box, and inside was a shiny silver ice crystal hair accessory, with bright red blooming ice flowers reflected in the transparent ice crystals.

The hair accessories shone dazzlingly in the light, and Lin Xi was immediately fascinated.

The clerk introduced to him: "This hair accessory is made of precious ice crystals mined from the mines of the Mechanical Demon City, carefully polished by senior craftsmen."

"The magic city ice crystal can keep for thousands of years without changing color and corrosion. The inlaid metal part is waterproof and silver-plated. It is luxurious, low-key and unique in taste as a gift. This is the latest style that was just delivered this morning. His Majesty the Demon King does not have it yet. You He'll be happy to give this."

Lin Xi looked at the price of the gift, it was a bit expensive but within the range he could afford.

The hair accessories are unisex styles. Lin Xi imagined wearing them on Taxue's hair in his mind, it must look good.

He just closed the box: "I want this one, help me wrap it in a gift box."

The clerk bowed politely: "Thank you for your patronage, I will pack it for you, and the cashier for payment is over there."

Lin Xi took out the check from the Demon Realm Bank from his pocket.

Seeing Lin Xi's willingness to pay, the clerk was a little curious: "Is your cat cafe business going well today? I didn't see you being so generous when I came here yesterday."

Lin Xi was surprised: "I didn't come here yesterday?"

The clerk laughed: "You are just joking, we remember it clearly. You ran into the store early yesterday morning to look at the products. It seems that you didn't buy them, and you said they were too expensive."

"Not only our store, but you have also visited several stores next door, and you are unwilling to spend a penny. Even if I misidentified the person, it is impossible for so many shop assistants to misidentify you, right?"

Lin Xi was very confused.

Yesterday was a rest day. He was busy with the cat cafe business early in the morning and never stopped. It is impossible for him to have time to go shopping.

And had he ever been to the gift shop, didn't he know it himself?

Lin Xi suddenly remembered the gaze that had been peeping at him recently.

At this time, his reaction was very fast.

Could it be that peeping tom?

He felt that peeping was not enough, and he wanted to pretend to be him?

Lin Xi knew that the peeping tom might be a very powerful magician, so he could use magic to transform into his appearance, bluffing and deceiving everywhere.

Lin Xi felt very annoyed. It wouldn't matter if he was the only one affected, but it would be troublesome for a voyeur to pretend to be him and hurt others.After all, Lin Xi's every move in the city of stepping on snow is bound to stepping on snow, and Lin Xi's image is the image of stepping on snow.

The fake Lin Xi caused trouble outside, and Lin Xi was responsible for it, but in the end the one affected would be Taxue.

Lin Xi thought to himself, he had to discuss this matter with Ta Xue.

Lin Xi told the clerks not to tell the story, and gave them a stack of cat coffee vouchers as hush money.

The clerk happily accepted it, and he assured Lin Xi that everyone would keep their mouths shut.They didn't know what Lin Xi was really worried about. They thought that he came to the store secretly yesterday and refused to admit it. There was some reason why he didn't want Ta Xue to know.

The clerks, as fanatical CP fans of the devil's sacrifice, of course have to protect the relationship between the two, and everyone will never spread gossip to provoke the relationship between the two, so they collectively forget about this matter.

Lin Xi took the gift and left the shop full of confusion.

He really couldn't figure it out.

After this shopping and chatting with the clerk, it was already dark outside.

Lin Xi saw that there was still a little time left for his date with Ta Xue, so he walked slowly on the street to the restaurant, letting himself think about that voyeur on the way.

At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and there was a little gleam at the end of the sky.

Pedestrians walking at night came and went, Lin Xi weaved through the crowd, and couldn't figure out why the pervert pretended to be him.

How does this benefit him?

Hey, it would be even scarier if it didn't do any good.

Lin Xi shivered in the night wind, it was the first time he was entangled by a pervert, life is full of frights.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance.

Pedestrians were watching the excitement in the south direction, and saw a group of demon servants in oilcloth protective clothing rushing there.

Lin Xi stood in the crowd, and heard that the pasture in the southern suburbs over there was on fire.

It seems that someone deliberately set the fire, and the fire spread rapidly in a short time.In the blink of an eye, the night sky in the south was filled with flames, and the passers-by who witnessed this scene screamed in shock.

Fortunately, the magic science in this world is very advanced, and a fire is not a serious accident.

Taxue and his demon attendants are proficient in ice and snow magic. When Taxue heard the news, he immediately ordered people to assemble and form a fire-fighting magic team, and each team was responsible for controlling the spread of fire in designated areas.

On the other hand, Taxue led people to drive silver dragon mounts to approach the core area of ​​the fire from the air, and the group chanted ice and snow magic on a large scale to cool down and rain, and put out the fire as quickly as possible.

The sky in the north was illuminated by fire for a while, and snowflakes were raised for a while.The flames and ice and snow complement each other in the night sky, forming a frightening but extremely dazzling picture of ice and fire.

Passers-by looked nervously at the distant fire scene.

They witnessed the turbulent ice and snow suppressing the flames, and the next moment the flames rushed up to the sky again to illuminate the night as bright as day, and were quickly dispersed by the howling ice and snow again; sometimes sporadic sparks clashed in the surrounding ice and snow, sometimes Snowflakes are fluttering like catkins flying all over the sky...

Just like this thrilling back and forth several times, the fire was finally completely extinguished by the ice and snow.

The crowd burst into cheers!

Although everyone knew that His Majesty the Demon King would not disappoint his subjects, and that a fire of this magnitude was a trivial matter for Ta Xue, everyone was still very nervous when they witnessed the scene.

Standing in the crowd, Lin Xi realized that his clenched palms were already covered in cold sweat when he regained consciousness.

It was really scary just now.

It was the first time he saw fire in this world.

In the always harmonious and peaceful city of Stepping Snow, someone actually set fire to it.

Seeing that the fire was successfully extinguished by His Majesty the Demon King, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed after seeing the situation subside.While discussing who committed such a bad act, everyone dispersed and continued to go about their own business.

The usual order was quickly restored on the streets.

Lin Xi was pushed to the street by the crowd, and continued to walk towards the restaurant with the flow of people.

Because of this sudden accident, he wondered if it was too impolite to just go on a date with Ta Xue as if nothing had happened.

When Ta Xue was approaching a date with him, he suddenly encountered such a big accident, and Lin Xi had already seen the scene.Should he rush over there to see the situation of Treading Snow? He can't pretend that he doesn't know anything.

Lin Xi thought as he walked, and unconsciously walked towards the southern suburbs.

He was thinking about how to go there faster, and he had to contact Ta Xue first, maybe he was not needed to be present because they were busy cleaning up the mess.Lin Xi took out the magic letter paper from his bosom, and wanted to leave a message for Ta Xuefei, but when he was about to write, two magic servants ran up to him.

When the demon attendants saw Lin Xi, they ran towards him: "Master Sacrifice, His Majesty the Demon King asked you to keep your original plan to meet him at the restaurant, and he told you not to go anywhere!"
