Chapter 252: Illusory Demon
Knock, knock.
Someone suddenly knocked on the door.
The duo looked at each other. Lu Sheng hurriedly kept the Red Dog into the Space Bracelet.
“Brother Chu, it’s me.”
It was Shi Yi’s voice.
Chu Sihan waved his hand and cleared the foul smell in the room.
Lu Sheng shouted, “Come in.”
The door creaked open and Shi Yi walked in, carrying two jars of wine.
At this moment, the inn was silent and there was no one in the corridor.
Chu Sihan’s gaze darkened when he saw ‘Shi Yi’ enter.
Lu Sheng sat down beside him. She glanced at Shi Yi and felt that something was amiss as well.
“It’s so cold outside. I can’t sleep anytime soon.”
‘Shi Yi’ smiled and said, “Well, I went downstairs to get two jars of wine just now. I was going to drink alone, but seeing that the lights were still on in your rooms, I came over to knock on the door.”
He placed the wine jar on the table and poured three cups of wine. One was for Chu Sihan, one was for Lu Sheng, and the other was for himself.
Lu Sheng looked at the wine in her cup and smiled at him. She did not speak.
“Drink. Why aren’t you drinking?”
As ‘Shi Yi’ spoke, he downed the wine in his cup and sighed in satisfaction.
“We have to travel tomorrow morning, so we won’t be drinking.”
Chu Sihan pushed the cup of wine in front of him back and said lightly, “If you like it, you can drink the other two cups.”
‘Shi Yi’ paused slightly with his hand holding the cup and his eyes darted around.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Why aren’t you giving me face?”
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “May I trouble you to hide the unbearable stench on your body first the next time you disguise yourself as someone else?”
Shi Yi had worn these clothes before entering the inn.
After entering the inn, in order to alleviate his fatigue, Shi Yi even asked the waiter for a hot bath. He had long changed his clothes.
This was also the reason why Lu Sheng discovered something was amiss with ‘Shi Yi’ at first glance.
He imitated him well. Be it his face or voice, they were identical to Shi Yi’s.
If Shi Yi had not changed his clothes today, she would not have noticed his flaws.
Of course, the only difference was that he had a faint fishy smell while Shi Yi had the fragrance of flowers after a bath.
Lu Sheng had always had a sharp sense of smell. From the moment he sat down, she had already smelled something strange.
Moreover, the wine in the cup was blood.
Although he had used a trick, it was useless against her and Chu Sihan.
“You’re the Illusory Demon,” Chu Sihan said faintly.
There was only one thing in this world that could replicate a person’s appearance so perfectly.
That was the Illusory Demon of the Demon Realm.
This sort of demon could transform into one’s appearance and imitate one’s personality, voice, and tone.
“You’re obviously two children from the mortal world. How could you recognize me?”
‘Shi Yi”s expression instantly turned ferocious before he transformed into black mist and floated in the sky.
It did not have a body or a face. It would occasionally transform into an animal or a human, floating in the air and laughing maniacally.
“No wonder your blood smells so delicious. You’re indeed not an ordinary person.”
Lu Sheng heard a tearing sound, as if that thing was drooling.
She frowned, indicating that she was disgusted.
“Lord, quickly subdue this demon. It’s disgusting. The smell on its body is even worse than that of Red Dog’s.”
“Red Dog?”
The black mist suddenly floated down and asked in surprise, “You’ve seen Red Tiger? Where did he go?”
