Spring Banquet (2)

The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPCCh36 - Spring Banquet (2)

Ren Yifei was finally outside.

"He Jun," the demons who were drinking and having fun on the platform all came to greet him. Both men and women were burning with excitement. m6IHLQ

This was what being a heartthrob in the demon world was like. Ren Yifei's scalp went numb.

This instance is really going to be the death of me, he thought bitterly.

His identity was like that of an undercover agent, as well as someone who snuck in to mooch some food and drinks. Naturally, the more ordinary he is the better, and the more low-key his identity, the higher his survival rate.

However, the original owner was too eye-catching. TdML2l

Of course, there were also people who didn't like him. For example, the one who had previously resented him for looking at them, and yet complained when he did not look at them. Their thought process was simply impressive.

That person was the gorgeous man with blue eyeshadow and dressed in blue-green clothes with peacock feathers hanging from his waist. At this moment, he was looking at Ren Yifei with disdain.

Ren Yifei looked at him, he felt that the other person was quite troublesome and was about to walk past him to the other side.

"You saw me and yet you didn't come to say hello?" Sure enough, he was a pain in the ass. Only when he walked near the other party did he hold up his cup to stop Ren Yifei.

K3UZ2L

Ren Yifei was silent. He then changed his direction to go to the other side.

The other party continued to stand in his way, unwilling to relent.

At that moment, many eyes were drawn to them.

The man with eyeshadow sipped his wine and sneered, "Is He Jun dumb? HMcUaI

"Thinking back to those years, I only spoke a little too much about how you didn't have a crest on the top of your head and yet you ridicule me for a long time for rattling my tail. So how come you're not saying anything now that you've met an old friend?"

It turns out that He Jun was the type of person who would directly strike back when attacked? No wonder he was described as wilful.

This gorgeous looking demon wears peacock feathers on his body and said that he rattles his tail feathers— could it be that he is a peacock demon? Ren Yifei thought to himself.

"What do you want?" Ren Yifei finally spoke up. InA6KU

"He Jun has been in seclusion for a hundred years, I wonder how strong he is now? I once said that there will be a battle between us sooner or later and since today's weather is just right, why not choose today?"

Ren Combat Scum Yifei: "..."

"Do I have to agree if you asked to fight? Nonsense," Ren Yifei, who was secretly sweating, flung his sleeves and left.

The demon with eyeshadow was trembling with anger as he was pulled away by the others, "Let's eat and drink wine." JSU4VL

Ren Yifei took the opportunity to go to a corner and sat down. Just as he sat down, a beautiful orchid-like female demon came over. She was beautiful and voluptuous, with eyes that do not hide her 'lust'.

"He Jun, long time no see. I wonder when can I get the opportunity to have a drink with He Jun?"

The look in her eyes was undisguised and raw. Every time those eyes landed on his body, he would feel like he was being touched by a pair of invisible hands and goosebumps would form.

Ren Yifei remained unmoved and replied a little coldly, "Next time."

When the great female demon heard this, yo, she was not rejected? If it was not a rejection, then there was hope. If there was hope, then it can be accomplished. Within a few seconds, the big demon had even thought out the names of their future children.

"Move over," she pushed the demon beside Ren Yifei away and sat down, "He Jun means that when we meet again..."

The demon who was pushed away was furious, "Lan Tang, you're seeking death."

"You look so ugly, have some awareness and beat it. Don't disturb my and He Jun's love affair." yxodsk

"How shallow!" Unable to refute, the demon curved to save the country, "If the He Jun loves beauty then he can just marry himself, what does he need to marry you for? To do a good deed?"

The two exchanged blows all the way from that corner to the centre until they were both badly bruised.

"Choke them! Sweep the legs! Punch their face!" The other demons enjoyed watching the bustling scene and didn't make a big deal out of it. They even wanted to personally step onto the stage to coach the fight, however, this soon broke out into a group fight. Soon, a group of people all became badly bruised.

Ren Yifei looked up at the scenery. 57ilVu

Ah, so beautiful.

The Ting Yun Pavilion was built in the sky and floats among the clouds. Standing in the courtyard, there were billowing white clouds and swimming fishes that resembled bright multicoloured light rays. This scene was like something out of a fairytale.

The only thing that makes people feel uncomfortable was the human heads on the pole, it was completely out of place.

"When did they hang the heads up on the pole?" Ren Yifei frowned. It obviously wasn't that long ago. FYxlQ

"Many humans have snuck in, this is to deter those daring little bugs," a demon smiled and raised a glass towards Ren Yifei.

Ren Yifei also took a cup and raised it. However, he only held it to his lips and didn't actually drink it.

"Have you gained a lot from the closed-door cultivation? I can see that He Jun is calmer now," the big demon smiled. If it was the He Jun from a hundred years ago, he would've turned and left the moment something dissatisfied him; it did not matter whether his behaviour was reasonable or not.

After Ren Yifei heard that, he began to ponder. Could He Jun be even more temperamental than he previously thought? For example, he would directly fight back the moment he disagrees with something? BA9rLS

"This is a place to drink and have fun. Having a human head hung up on the pole, wouldn't that dampen the mood?" Ren Yifei commented.

The demon with eyeshadow came— yes, he came back, "Which demon's cave does not have a few heads hung up on a pole in front? Only you, He Jun, is so troublesome. Also, you are different from us, you can just eat the wind and drink dew. Then again, you can really get full just from the moonlight."

Was this the original owner's nemesis?

"You can't say that, it's a bit pretentious," the demons who were in the same camp before turned around and betrayed him one after another. FxdI8q

A demon pulled away from the group fight and wiped the blood off of his face, "This is a place for singing, dancing and playing around so having a few heads hanging there is not very nice to look at."

"What He Jun said is very true."

"..." the demon with eyeshadow crushed his wine glass.

That's all there was to it, just two big demons bickering. There was a clever little demon who arrived not too long ago and did not know about He Jun. Seeing the beauty, he thought that the other party had used their looks to squeeze into the circle of big demons. Wanting to curry favour, he went forward and said: q dmtB

"I think it's not wrong, it's the way that demons like me behave. Wouldn't hiding it make us just as hypocritical as the humans? I don't know where this b-bad ethos comes from."

The demon spoke loudly at first, but when he saw that the other big demons' expressions were bad, his momentum decreased. When he saw Ren Yifei's unhappy yet not angry eyes, his voice become weaker.

Even the demon with eyeshadow, who he was trying to flatter, was frowning.

The little demon was puzzled: Why is the big demon, who he was trying to curry favour with, getting angry instead? 6zaDf3

"So talkative."

With a wave of a small fan, the calm and gentle wind turned into thin flying blades. In the blink of an eye, the little demon's tongue fell off.

Ren Yifei put away the fan.

He Jun was a demon, and since he was a demon, he would have a demonic nature. nrW6Ul

In his experience, such groups that still follow the law of the jungle generally abide by the rule that the strong must have the aura and status of the strong.

Just like the leader of the wolf pack, talking back and provocation were not allowed. The moment you see someone sticking their head out, you have to beat them back into submission.

With his tongue cut off, the little demon panicked and turned back to seek help from the demon with eyeshadow. However, the big demon looked back at him with eyes that were sharper than Ren Yifei's.

"Ignorant thing, only a little hundred-year-old demon. When will it be your turn to speak?" w6Gi91

After that, he cut off the demon's head with a sword and blood splattered all over the floor.

The little demon was still alive. His head was rolling on the ground while his body was still struggling to stand up. Blood was gushing out from his neck as his mouth was screaming, Ahhh, as if he was saying: My body, my body...

A demon's survivability was very high. If it was a small injury, it would heal by itself after a while. But if its head was chopped off and it bled out too much, it will die in after a while.

This little demon reverted back to its original form the moment it died, and its original form turned out to be a strange-looking sheep. BzdVlJ

The demon with eyeshadow put away his sword as he glanced at it, "Tell the kitchen to add a whole roast lamb tonight."

Ren Yifei covered his mouth with the fan, "Don't include me, it has a fishy smell."

This remark provoked the other person again and the demon with eyeshadow said unhappily, "I didn't include you." So self-centred.

Ren Yifei ignored him. He could see that, although this demon with eyeshadow likes to taunt him, their relationship was not really that bad. NpIVha

The big demon said something, causing the guard next to him to nod hastily and order some people to drag the corpse to the back kitchen. Demons were born and raised simply. They were naturalists, they can eat humans and they can eat their own kind; they're not picky at all.

"These newborn little demons don't know anything, it's a good thing that He Jun has a good temper," the big female demon Ren Yifei had previously met before stood beside him. She had won, her clothes were still tidy and her makeup remained immaculate. She winked at him, "He Jun, when exactly is 'next time'?"

Ren Yifei's face was emotionless. He just wanted some peace and quiet.

Some of the low-end players were mixed into the group of demons. Their eyes were blank and their leg hairs were stiff. The NPCs here are comparable to other NPCs, but they actually kill when they say that they'll kill, and eat when they say that they'll eat? The intelligent beings who were alive, talking and dancing before can become their meal the next second. Don't they have any psychological resistance? w5EFLh

Such a treacherous environment and yet the system actually rated it as mid-end?!

Among the hundred players who came, there were many low-end players who wanted to take the risk and test their luck. In the hundred player instance, as long as they can stay alive until the end, there will always be more benefits compared to the regular games.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to have much luck. This instance was extremely unfriendly to salted fish.

Those high-end players who had prepared for this instance had already entered their roles at this moment and were beginning to start their character quests. They have a variety of identities: high-level demons, low-level demons, servants and so on. Everyone was trying to take advantage of their identities to obtain information. cTJLP

If their identity had no advantages, then they'll just create their own.

They also faced the minor problem of possibly eating their own kind.

However, the high-end players were well-informed and were naturally not as surprised as those people. It was just eating humans, not to mention that the instances are all fake. Even if it's real, if it's for survival then they will eat.

In conclusion, there was still too little information and the restrictions were too high. 9Z3 7h

Non-staff players walked around this heavenly palace pavilion while identifying the other guests and collecting clues along the way.

The demons didn't have a lot of rules, as long as the players don't go challenging someone more powerful than them, then they can walk around freely. This was friendlier than those instances where they were very strict on hierarchy and don't allow players to walk around.

Of course, entering someone else's house without permission was also considered an act of 'initiating a challenge'. If the owner feels offended, they would naturally take action.

This was not necessarily a bad thing; demons were ranked based on these sorts of battles. N1yfxD

Players who were not confident in themselves would avoid these conflicts, while others saw it as an opportunity.

"Clang!" Saman blocked the opponent's claws with his giant sword and used the momentum from that attack to swing the sword back. His speed was so fast that the naked eye could hardly keep up with it. In the blink of an eye, the demon was cut in half at the waist.

That demon was not dead and was covering his bleeding wound with an extremely ugly expression.

Saman stared at him with a sword in his hand. Not a hint of fear nor cowering could be seen in his eyes, only formidable confidence. kon72s

What was originally a stare-down turned into an exchange of blows, and after half a quarter of an hour, the NPC lost. He snorted and left in an embarrassing state.

Saman stood there with bleeding wounds on his body. The blood on his arm even dripped down to the ground along the blade of his sword. However, his heart was unusually calm and his aura was strong enough that no one dared to make a move against him recklessly.

As long as he displayed the slightest bit of weakness, there will be NPCs and even players who would run out to finish the job. Saman knows this very well, so he must not show any signs of weakness.

Otherwise, he will be the next to be eliminated. EvPgGh

He saw that this demon purely relied on physical damage before entering its house and provoking it.

After half a day of investigating, he has found that the specifications of the house correspond to the demon's status. There are not so many rules in the demon world. The strong have the right to speak, and what he wants was this right to speak.

The name 'Lu Ding' was silently erased from the door of the room and the characters 'Da Peng' appeared.

The room changed hands and his status also changed. bd dCn

The players in the crowd were both startled and envious. On the other hand, the NPCs waved their weapons and cheered loudly. They did not feel the slightest offended, instead, they were very appreciative.

Saman had made the right move.
