I'm not really the lord of the abyss

20:00 in the evening.

The palace is brightly lit.

This is one of the few buildings not damaged by the unrest, and it stands on the wasteland that is being rebuilt.The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper and lower floors were drawn, and warm lights shone from inside, illuminating the dark night and illuminating people's hearts.

It can be seen through the windows that most of the guests are already present.

The extraordinary people took off their combat uniforms, dressed in civilian clothes and masks, and walked together in twos and threes to talk.The waiters shuttled through the crowd, pouring champagne for the guests.

On the long self-serve table in the distance, exquisite food is piled high and placed on a plate, exuding an appetite-inducing aroma.

Just looking at this place, I would never think of what kind of blow the outside world suffered a day ago.As if it was to bid farewell to the haze of the past and usher in a new beginning, everyone had relaxed and joyful smiles on their faces at this moment.

Lu Mi, who successfully sneaked in, shuttled slowly among the passing crowd, and picked up a piece of dessert from the passing waiter's tray.

As soon as he put it in his mouth, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

It is worthy of being the royal chef, sweet but not greasy, smooth and delicious, delicious!It was the taste of money that he, as a poor man, could not even imagine!

"Would you like to try it?"

While eating, he moved his lips and lowered his eyes to look at the shadow under his feet.

At this time, Lu Mi was wearing an owl mask, covering his face, and he was easily submerged in more superhumans who wore strange masks and looked exaggerated and funny as if they were participating in Halloween.

The only thing that will attract the attention of interested people is probably that his mask is so dark that it shines, and it is so pure that it does not look like feathers from animals.

In fact, the origin of this mask was a bit tortuous—at that time, Lu Mi had an idea, and asked (squeezed) feathers from the devil, and then realized that he couldn't do handwork, so he went to the mask shop again.

When the owner of the shop saw the material of the feather, he was astonished. As a reward for helping Lu Mi customize the mask he wanted, he collected the rest of the feathers, and told Lu Mi that if there were any more, please send them again.

Thinking of the reluctance of the owner of the mask shop at that time, Lu Mi could only think guiltyly, fortunately the other party didn't know the origin of these feathers, otherwise he would be scared to death.After getting the mask, Lu Mi resolutely found an excuse to escape in a hurry.

As the provider of these feathers, Lu Mi originally thought that Aaron Foss would be unhappy at first.

After all, wings are not just a part of the devil's body, but also his favorite weapon.Like the teeth and claws of wild animals, they are the death line that the ignorant can touch and die.

who knows--

"Ah, if it can come in handy for you, please be sure to use me politely."

The demon deacon spoke politely, calmed down calmly, but surging with pitch-black excitement and frenzy.

"Have you decided which location to use?"

He slowly spread his wings, opening his fragile body like a prey, exposing his heart to the hunter and sending out an invitation.

Lu Mi tentatively reached out to the outermost circle of feathers.

Seeing this, the demon smiled slightly, and then, like a bird about to be clipped, it just rightly revealed a bit of uneasiness and forbearance that seemed real and fake.

"It's very sensitive there, please be gentle... Ah, if it's you, it doesn't matter if you are rough."

Lu Mi went "???" the whole time, he just plucked hair!

He is obviously a great demon who will trample other monsters under his feet in the abyss, so there is something wrong with him no matter how he gets here!

……

The fanaticism implied in this repression has continued until now.

After Lu Mi picked up the dessert and initiated a question, the shadow under his feet suddenly distorted, and then there was a scene that ordinary people would definitely scream on the spot.

I saw the shadow under the young man's feet, suddenly two white round holes appeared in the eye sockets, and the mouth turned into a white sickle and pulled apart—as if a monster was hiding in the shadow.

And in fact, it is.

For a demon born in the shadows, residing in someone's shadow is an extremely simple matter.But if this certain person refers to Lu Mi, then it has a completely different meaning to the devil.

Aronfoss did not refuse Lu Mi's feeding.

The dropped dessert was swallowed by the shadow on the ground, and no one noticed this weird scene in the whole lively party.

After eating, the devil sincerely sighed in the tone of an opera singer: "It's very delicious."

However, in fact, the devil's taste buds are different from those of humans, and desserts are more like a dried straw stuffed into his mouth.

Dry and boring, but the fragrance of the sun left behind by the young man's fingertips makes him happy.

At this time, the party began to play music, and the brisk dance music fluttered under the colorful glass chandeliers.

The participants in the party this time are basically the superhumans of the front-line combat department, and the majority of them are men in general.Probably considering this situation, the king arranged a group of female dance partners early so that they would not fall into the embarrassing situation of not having a partner, and at the same time fully enjoy the fun of the banquet.

As the music sounded melodiously, dancers in fancy dress appeared and walked into the crowd.

For these superhumans who have been on the front line of investigating anomalies all year round, what they usually face most are peers and monsters, and there are relatively few human beings, let alone beautiful human women.

"Can you dance with me?" A dancer came to Lu Mi and extended an invitation.

The other people in this small area immediately cast envious and jealous glances at Lu Mi, wishing that they were the ones standing there.

Good luck this guy!They also want to be invited by the beautiful young lady!

Lu Mi shook his head, "No, thank you."

Others couldn't believe it.

The dancer looked at him in disappointment, but didn't force it.After she nodded slightly, she turned and left, and soon found another partner and successfully joined the dance floor.

Surrounded by the remaining gazes, Lu Mi simply walked out of the banquet hall and came to the balcony on the second floor of the palace.

A curtain cut off the hustle and bustle of the banquet hall from the balcony, and faint music and human voices came from it, blending into the night wind blowing from the Buddha.

The stars hang in the night sky, twinkling like diamonds inlaid in the sky.

Lu Mi leaned on the white stone railing of the balcony and looked down, just in time to see the small garden behind the palace.A few night lights stand on the gravel road, and the path winds all the way into the depths of the lush woods, and the roadside is full of flowers and plants swaying in the wind.

"Why did you refuse the invitation just now?"

On the balcony where there was no one else, Aronforth's voice sounded slowly.

Lu Mi answered truthfully: "I don't know how to dance."

I have never learned it in my previous life, and I have no chance to learn it in this life.

He just saw how other people were getting started quickly, and guessed that this should be a well-known dance in the world, and it was his turn to stand there without knowing anything, and it wasn't the two of them being embarrassed together.

For 1 minute the demon did not speak again.

In the dark, an undetectable shadow sprang out quickly, hiding in the corner of the banquet hall to observe.

Lu Mi was feeling strange, when suddenly he heard Aronfoss who came back say: "I will."

Lu Mi: ...?

A dark and thick shadow slowly rises from the ground, forming a dark human figure.

Afterwards, the dark human figure twisted and transformed.

When the blackness attached to it faded away, what appeared in front of Lu Mi was a male human dancer dressed in a Chinese costume. The style of clothing was completely the same as that of the dancers in the banquet hall.

It's just that the dancer is wearing an owl mask, so the face cannot be seen clearly.The only exposed jaw was perfect, and the lips on the pale face were as red as blood.

What's more striking is that those ominous scarlet eyes revealed some kind of inhuman and dangerous traits.

"...you?" Lu Mi knew that transformation was an ability that most high-level demons possessed, but this was the first time he met Aronfoss to do so.

After all, most demons are proud of their inhuman features, which are often a symbol of their name and status, and few condescend to turn into a weak gesture.

"Would you like a favor? Sir." The dancer put one hand behind his back and extended an invitation to him with the other.

Lu Mi was startled, thought for a while, and put his hand on his palm.

What happened next was really strange—he was actually taught to dance by a demon at a banquet held by a human king.And this demon can dance better than most?

Two figures danced on the open-air balcony under the moon, with stars above their heads and the fragrance of flowers wafting in the air.

The two shadows sometimes overlap and sometimes separate.

For a moment, one of the shadows can be seen trance-formed into a huge pair of wings, completely enveloping the other in his arms.

It was not that the gods were protecting his believers, but that the aliens swore allegiance to their masters.

Lu Mi turned around in the air, listened carefully, and said, "The king seems to have started to give a speech of thanks..."

In the faint sound of music coming from the banquet hall, there was the old but solemn voice of the king—"Please allow me to express my gratitude to all..."

The devil's scarlet eyes glanced at him, and the corners of his lips curled up, "You are not paying attention."

Lu Mi looked back calmly, "I've already learned it."

"Yes." The devil lowered his head slightly, and sighed piously, "You are an excellent student, always have been."

After another side step, Lu Mi glanced across the garden below the balcony, and suddenly caught a figure.

The man was hurrying towards the depths of the garden, with an owl mask on his face.

Lu Mi subconsciously glanced at the time in the banquet hall.

20: 45.

There are still 15 minutes, and the other party has arrived.

Maybe he came early like him, and then he simply went to the trading place and waited?

With such a guess in his heart, Lu Mi felt that there would be no problem with the transaction being brought forward a little bit, so he also decided to pass now.

"Aaron, we should go."

He stopped dancing and gave orders.

And the demon immediately broke away from the relaxed state when facing him, and immediately put into the working state.

The dancer in the dark night turns into a pure black shadow again, blending into the shadow of the youth, like a mysterious guardian, who silently opens his watching eyes behind the night.

The author has something to say:

Aaron: Please call me the best dance teacher in the world.
