The Demon's Menu

I'm hungry.

The voice was sincere, without a trace of pretense, entirely from the heart.

Dou Bao could tell.

So, Dou Bao was stunned.

The master didn't blame me?

Nor was he angry?

This, this is really great.

Dou Bao was cheering in her heart, and then she immediately said——

"Alright, master, please wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

Dou Bao hurriedly ran out.

"I want to eat wontons, youtiao, and tea eggs."

Jason shouted from behind.

"Got it."

Dou Bao responded.

Watching Dou Bao's figure disappear behind the courtyard gate, Jason sat on the stone bench next to him, raised his hand, and took out the solid wood box containing the 'Creation Pill.'

The plan for the day starts with the morning.

Breakfast is a must.

So, for a better life, breakfast must be eaten twice.

Of course, three times is also possible.

Or… the more the merrier, Jason didn't mind.

After all, there are only two things in life.

Opening the box, pinching open the wax pill, Jason threw the soybean-sized 'Creation Pill' into his mouth.

The next moment, his eyes squinted.

It's not that the taste is wrong.

On the contrary, compared to the 'small Creation Pill', the 'Creation Pill' before him was even sweeter.

A strong sweetness, yet not greasy.

Sugarcane juice mixed with pear juice, then added with a hint of mint.

The taste was not wrong.

What really caught Jason's attention was the text that appeared before him.

[Swallowed Creation Pill (Counterfeit)]

[Physical strength, energy, and injuries excessively recovered!]

[Satiation +800]

[Satiation: 5291]

[Excitement of Feast +9]

[Excitement of Feast: 144]

[Constitution +0.5]

…

The increased satiation, Excitement of Feast, and attributes all delighted Jason.

However, at this time, Jason focused on the words 'Counterfeit.'

"Counterfeit?

Not the real 'Creation Pill'!

Moreover, this 'Creation Pill' was refined by the efforts of Cui Long Girl and Hong Xiu under the request of the 'Great Dragon Head'…"

This is interesting."

It should have been the 'Creation Pill.'

Yet they refined a 'Creation Pill (Counterfeit).'

This result suggests two possibilities.

One, there was something wrong with the formula.

Two, there was something wrong with the person refining it.

Sitting there, Jason squinted his eyes and lightly tapped the tabletop with his fingers.

After sorting out the events of last night again, he suddenly realized that the 'Great Dragon Head' Cui Long King not only played an important role in the entire incident but was even a 'guide.'

A character who lured out the Planner, the Transmigration Cult Sect Hierarch.

After all, Jason personally experienced the state of the Transmigration Cult Sect Hierarch just now.

Not only was he injured, but it also seemed his mind was affected.

Under such circumstances, the rumored 'Creation Pill', known for transforming and bestowing miraculous abilities, naturally had an extraordinary allure for the Transmigration Cult Sect Hierarch.

To be serious, as long as the 'Creation Pill' appeared, the Transmigration Cult Sect Hierarch would appear.

Plus the hidden appearance of the Transmigration Cult Sect Hierarch.

Perhaps…

"The 'Great Dragon Head' might know that the Transmigration Cult Sect Hierarch was injured, but couldn't confirm his identity, so he set such a trap!

However, the initial plan probably didn't involve the fake death, it's just…

The true identity of the Transmigration Cult Sect Hierarch was astonishing, beyond the expectations of the 'Great Dragon Head,' so the 'Great Dragon Head' chose fake death to escape!"

Jason slowly deduced.

Then, he frowned.

He thought of Cui Long Girl.

Cui Long Girl, the daughter of the 'Great Dragon Head' Cui Long King.

Even with just a few glimpses, Jason could see that the 'Great Dragon Head' truly cherished his daughter, the concern in his eyes when looking at her couldn't be faked.

So, if the 'Great Dragon Head' Cui Long King was faking his death to escape, he couldn't not care for his daughter.

At the very least, he'd need to ensure Cui Long Girl's safety.

"In other words, if I hadn't gone to 'Capture Manor' last night, everything would've followed the plan of the 'Great Dragon Head,' and the Si Hai Bang wouldn't have suffered an attack?"

Jason pursed his lips, drawing that conclusion.

No plan is ever foolproof.

Especially when people are involved, unexpected events happen constantly.

His trip to 'Capture Manor' caused a series of unexpected events outside the plan.

Then, how could the 'Great Dragon Head' Cui Long King confirm that the Transmigration Cult Sect Hierarch wouldn't unexpectedly come to the Si Hai Bang, bringing danger to Cui Long Girl?

As a father, how could the 'Great Dragon Head' be sure that his daughter wouldn't be harmed in such an event?

Of course, he must have a backup plan!

And considering the power displayed by the Transmigration Cult Sect Hierarch, the only person in Fragrance City who could deal with him was…

"The Knife Monarch!"

Jason's eyes shot open instantly.

He thought of a possibility: Could the 'Great Dragon Head' and the Knife Monarch be feigning combat but secretly cooperating?

If that was the case, then the 'Great Dragon Head's' ease in leaving made sense.

As for him?

Before the battle occurred, he believed the 'Great Dragon Head' couldn't ascertain his true strength.

Including Dou Bao's, of course.

And now?

Jason believed that the other party would definitely adjust the plan.

With this in mind, Jason stood up and walked out of the small courtyard.

"Master Mu." x2

Outside the courtyard, Cui Long Girl and Miss Hong Xiu greeted in unison.

"Miss Cui, Miss Hong Xiu, could you please explain to me in detail the circumstances under which the 'Great Dragon Head' asked you two to refine the 'Creation Pill'?"

Jason inquired.
