My Demon Friends

Chapter 748 708 Good Things

"..."

Zhou Li felt somewhat embarrassed and subconsciously glanced at Brother Nan.

His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu fluttered his wings rapidly. "Why are you looking at her? Thinking of using her to discipline me? That won't work now."

"That's not it."

It seemed that although His Highness had become very small, his temperament was still the same as before.

"But Your Highness, how did you become so small?"

"Yeah, Your Highness."

Lord Dumpling propped himself up against Zhou Li's pants and stood up, stretching high with his paw to touch His Highness flying above, but there was still a long distance, and he couldn't reach no matter how much he tried.

"Your Highness, you've become so small~~"

"It doesn't matter," said His Highness nonchalantly. "Time is of the essence, and the energy of the Old Land World is limited, too. Saving a bit where I can, and this is the outcome. Moreover, most demons are quite small when they are born; if I choose, I can grow slowly later on."

"That's pretty good," said Zhou Li.

"I also think it's pretty good. I'm darn cute," said His Highness as he spun in mid-air; he genuinely felt this was very good. "Since all of my spiritual power has already been given to your girlfriend, I'm just a Little Demon now. It happens that I quite wanted to be one—carefree, playing around every day with no rules. As long as I don't harm others and the world, I can do whatever I want. Ah, the joy of being a demon is beyond human imagination."

"You are still worthy of our respect."

"Are you a Little Demon now, Your Highness, meow?" Tuanzi looked up at His Highness with wide eyes.

"Come here."

His Highness pointed at Tuanzi, lowering his altitude.

"At your command!"

Tuanzi quickly went on all fours and walked over to His Highness's side, curiously staring at the super-miniature His Highness and couldn't help but laugh. "Your Highness, you're not even as long as my tail..."

"Lie down."

"Oh~~"

Lord Dumpling was very obedient.

Immediately, His Highness grabbed onto Tuanzi's fur, climbed onto her back, sat down with legs astride, and patted Tuanzi on the back.

"Off you go."

Tuanzi looked puzzled for a moment before turning around after a few seconds, looking pitifully at the little person on her back.

"Where to, nyah?"

"Just run around as you usually do."

"Oh..."

So, in the eyes of Zhou Li and the others, Tuanzi, carrying a winged mini elf girl, began running all over the place, with the elf girl's tiny voice ringing out occasionally:

"Faster!"

"Jump over the table!"

"WOOHOO!"

"So fun!"

Zhou Li looked on somewhat blankly and turned to look at his companions for affirmation.

Miss Zheng still had a serene expression, quietly watching them. Qinghe was also silent, his gaze following Tuanzi as she ran—sometimes to the corner of the wall, sometimes leaping onto stools and tables then jumping down again. At her highest point, she would bounce onto the fridge, which would excite His Highness greatly.

Lord Dao Min had a smile on his face.

Baozi sat in the corner, trying hard to minimize her presence.

Brother Nan... seemed a bit envious?

Only the Old monster was covering his mouth, trying to hold back his laughter.

"Stop—

"Turn left, go forward."

His Highness directed Tuanzi to run toward Huai Xu and made her jump onto a small stool to get enough height. Then he looked up at Huai Xu.

"What are you laughing at?"

"HEH HEH HEH..." Huai Xu covered his mouth. "It's just too funny."

"What are you laughing at?"

"You've become so little HAHAHA..."

"Do you think just because I've become a Little Demon, I can't deal with you?" His Highness stretched out his hand, pointing a scepter smaller than a toothpick at Huai Xu, while Tuanzi looked like a little dog, sticking out her tongue.

"So?"

Huai Xu blinked.

"Take this!"

His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu, swung the hand holding the scepter and, if one ignored the size difference, he resembled a valiant female warrior brandishing a spear—

A streak of white light shot across the sky and burst on Huai Xu's face, looking for all the world like a fist-sized firework. Accompanied by many small specks of light, it would have been prettier than the hand-held fireworks enjoyed during New Year's Eve if it had been night.

"BANG..."

Baozi, tucked in a corner warming itself by the fire, startled, looking left and right before wisely lowering its gaze, continuing to focus on the fire like an idiot.

Huai Xu was unharmed, standing dumbfounded in his original spot.

"That's it?"

His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu, cocked his head at the question.

"Where is the Blood Demon?"

"!!"

Huai Xu suddenly looked into the distance, seeing the sky rumble as a troop of Blood Demons approached at great speed.

The Blood Demons landed, settling beside him.

Huai Xu looked down once more.

There the diminutive creature pointed at himself. "Catch this demon who steals every day, take him to the back mountain. After I finish my meal, I'll go and torture him..."

Huai Xu: ??

Zhou Li grinned. The ending was still quite lovely.

「...」

Huai Xu was taken away.

Zhou Li followed Brother Nan inside the house.

His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu, finally released Lord Dumpling. He then flew up quickly, flapping his wings and following them inside while calling out, "Lord Dao Min..."

"Present."

Despite witnessing His Highness's antics just now, Lord Dao Min's respect for His Highness did not diminish in the slightest.

His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu, turned in midair, pointing at Miss Zheng, who was walking with Qinghe. "Your task is her. Quickly check her out and see when she can be fixed. Once she's fixed, you can go to Jiuzhaigou and live the life you long for."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Miss Zheng looked somewhat bewildered, with two dogs circling her incessantly.

Lord Dao Min shrank quite a bit to enter the house, becoming shorter and slimmer, transforming from a tree trunk to a bamboo pole. He pointed to a chair for Miss Zheng. "Just sit down quietly, that's all you need to do."

Zhou Li also said to Miss Zheng, "Be sure to cooperate with the doctor for the inspection."

"Mhm."

Miss Zheng obediently sat down in the chair and, following Lord Dao Min's instructions, tilted her head back and closed her eyes.

Zhou Li's eyes widened, watching curiously.

Clearly, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu, was even more curious than him. Using his advantage in stature, he flew over and landed on Miss Zheng's face, bending down to look closely at Dao Min's examination of her eyes. Miss Zheng couldn't help but open her eyes slightly, feeling uncomfortable.

「Following a mystical examination process...」

Lord Dao Min withdrew his gaze and spiritual power, bowing to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu, flying above. "She can be treated, but it will take time. Also, we'll need to wait a bit before starting. Hmm, we have to wait until the Will of the World from their world reacts to the departure of the Old Land World. This process might take some time; its reaction is rather slow."

"Then you should stay here; this family provides well enough," His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu, said. "At least you won't starve."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lord Dao Min then said to Miss Zheng, "I'll be imposing on you."

Miss Zheng opened her eyes, her heart racing but maintaining a calm face, and quietly bowed her head, saying softly, "I should be the one thanking you..."

Zhou Li let out a sigh of relief.

Although it was a pity that Miss Zheng probably wouldn't be able to see the fireworks this year, with the New Year not far away, it was still reassuring to have Lord Dao Min's confirmation. Once confirmed, it was merely a matter of time, and that was good news.

Zhou Li glanced to the side—

There he saw His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu, had flown next to Brother Nan and was saying to him, munching on strawberries, "Give me some."

Brother Nan handed him one without thinking.

It was a strawberry many times larger than his head.

"..."

"Oh, pardon me."

Brother Nan retrieved the strawberry, took a tiny bite from the tip, spat it out, and then handed it to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu.

"Eat this."

"..."
