The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 110: Nightlight robbery!

"The alcohol tastes like water! Why the hell should I pay for it?!"

"You ordered water! If water doesn’t taste like water, should it taste like piss?!"

In a small tavern located in Henglong city, suddenly a fight broke out between a demonic cultivator and the owner of the tavern.

"Don’t lie to me! I know what I ordered!"

"You are too drunk to even tell your right hand apart from your left, how can you know what you ordered?"

"This is daylight robbery! I’m not paying for a glass of disgusting water!"

"Open your eyes and look outside, it’s already night!"

"Then it’s nightlight robbery!"

The owner of the tavern cringed as he heard this and shook his head with a sigh, trying to calm himself down.

"If you do not pay then forget about leaving this place!"

The demonic cultivator gritted his teeth as he heard this and took a step forward, threateningly pointing at the tavern owner as he warned, "Who the hell are you to stop me? Tch- Just try and I’ll show you what it feels like to be harvested into a furnace!"

The tavern owner smirked as he heard this and asked, "Are you sure you can do that before I crush your head and turn you into meat soup?"

With that, the tavern owner managed to completely piss off the demonic cultivator who summoned his demonic Qi in order to attack the tavern owner.

The tavern owner swiftly avoided the attack and quickly grabbed the man’s head, almost crushing it in the process.

Compared to the demonic cultivator, the Tavern owner seemed to have clearly better physical abilities.

"Pay up or you’ll be the next side dish served on the menu."

The demonic cultivator conveniently passed out as he heard this.

"..." The tavern owner gritted his teeth and frowned as he slapped the demonic cultivator a few times just to make sure whether he was really asleep or not.

Duan Luoyang, who was sitting in the tavern since the beginning of this fight, could not help but frown as he looked at the cowardly demonic cultivator who was clearly pretending to have passed out.

However, pretending to be asleep did not save the man. With a sigh, the tavern owner spoke, "Guess you chose to be the side dish instead."

The demonic cultivator immediately came back to his senses and snapped his eyes open, "Don’t you dare disrespect this Laozi!"

The tavern owner only sneered as he heard this and acted as if he was really about to take the demonic cultivator into the kitchen in order to turn him into a side dish.

Duan Luoyang, who could not bare watching this ridiculous situation anymore stood up as he walked closer to the two and spoke, "I’ll pay for his glass of water."

Feeling surprised, both the demonic cultivator and the tavern owner turned their heads in unison to look at Duan Luoyang. It wasn’t every day that they saw a strange man offering to help in Henglong.

"Young man, why would you?" The tavern owner tilted his head as he politely asked, his entire demeanor seeming to have changed. When talking to the demonic cultivator, he was just as rude as the drunk man, and when talking to Duan Luoyang, he was just as polite as a businessman.

Duan Luoyang looked at the tavern owner and then looked at the demonic cultivator as he spoke, "I might be needing him."

The tavern owner and the demonic cultivator looked at each other in shock.

"Young man, he’s not even handsome. Even I’ll feel bad if I sell such inferior goods to you."

"Who the hell are you calling inferior goods?!"

"Can you look in the mirror and still ask that question?"

The tavern owner and the demonic cultivator started bickering once again.

"This Laozi is much better-looking than your lizard face!"

"You’d have a better life if you stopped living in such delusions."

"So am I not allowed to pay for him?" Duan Luoyang sighed as he asked, slowly starting to run out of patience.

The tavern owner immediately handed the demonic cultivator over, "He’s all yours."

"You traitor! How can you sell me for a glass of water?!"

"Don’t cry. I could even sell your useless ass for free."

"Who the hell are you?!" The demonic cultivator glared at Duan Luoyang as he took a step back in disgust and rudely questioned.

Duan Luoyang took a minute to think about it and in the end, he decided to follow the example set by his Uncle Fu and answered, "I’m a rich man who has a lot of time to waste."

The demonic cultivator gulped as he heard this and looked at Duan Luoyang from top to bottom, openly judging the man.

Duan Luoyang was completely covered in a black cloak and a fox mask. Even his eyes could hardly be seen but from his demeanor alone, it was clear that he was a physically fit young man who was neither a demon nor a demonic cultivator.

However, the fact that he was neither a demon nor a demonic cultivator only made him stand out in this city called Henglong.

"If you act like a rich brat around here, you’ll attract thieves who won’t even hesitate to kill you."

Duan Luoyang tilted his head innocently as he heard this and confidently responded, "Then let them come and try. If they can manage to land even a single scratch on me, at least I’ll acknowledge their skills before I kill them."

The demonic cultivator and the tavern owner scoffed in unison as they heard this.

They had no idea who Duan Luoyang was or how strong he was. They grouped him together with all the travelers that came to Henglong with blind confidence and ended up never being able to go back.

Duan Luoyang didn’t mind being seen as a dumb rich brat who would be killed in the blink of an eye. In fact, he preferred to be seen like that.

In Henglong, it was better to be weak than to be seen as someone strong. As long as you could prove that you were not worth the time and effort, you’ll be left alone, however, the moment you showed everyone that you were strong, they would feel challenged and you’d end up attracting all kinds of trouble.

Duan Luoyang took out a silver coin and threw it over to the tavern owner as he spoke, "Here you go. Payment for the glass of water he drank and the glass of liquor I ordered. You can keep the change."

The tavern owner caught the silver coin and looked at it with satisfaction before correcting, "There is no change left."

"..." Although he had used the trick that was often used by Jie Fu Lian, unfortunately, he was not as rich as the latter so Duan Luoyang only ended up embarrassing himself.

"Let’s go," Duan Luoyang spoke to the demonic cultivator as he quickly turned around and left the tavern.

The demonic cultivator was quite drunk and although he had pretended to be completely disgusted by Duan Luoyang, when he heard this, he still obediently followed after the man.

"Young man, are you really that rich?" The demonic cultivator curiously asked.

"I’m rich," Duan Luoyang effortlessly lied.

"How rich are you?"

"I’m rich enough to not know how rich I am."

The demonic cultivator slightly frowned as he heard this and his eyes narrowed down on Duan Luoyang in suspicion as he guessed, "You’re lying, aren’t you? There is no way you are rich."

"Didn’t I just buy you from that lizard-faced man?" Duan Luoyang questioned back.

The demonic cultivator smiled as he heard the word ’lizard-faced’ and happily nodded his head in satisfaction.

"His face really does look like a lizard’s face, doesn’t it?" Unlike how he seemed, the demonic cultivator was quite easy to please. "Young Man, why did you buy me?"

"I needed a demonic cultivator and you are a demonic cultivator so I bought you."

"Eh? Why would you need a demonic cultivator? Are you planning on killing someone?"

"No," Duan Luoyang replied, sounding completely calm, "If I wanted someone dead, I would prefer to do it myself."

"Then are you trying to have me curse someone? Let me warn you ahead of time, I don’t know how to curse people."

"I do not use such foolish means."

"Huh? Then why would you need a demonic cultivator?" The demonic cultivator suddenly gasped in shock as his imagination started running wild and he hesitantly asked, "Don’t tell me that it’s some sort of special preference...?!"

Duan Luoyang frowned as he replied, "Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m only trying to get some information."

"Information?" The demonic cultivator repeated and suddenly smiled as he claimed, "Then you have certainly chosen the right man! This Laozi’s sea of knowledge is vaster than the real sea!"

"Then have you heard of the ’art of controlling spirits’ cultivation manual?"

"I have," The demonic cultivator proudly nodded his head.

"Do you know where I can find it?"

"I do not."

Duan Luoyang threw the man a side-glance as he scoffed, "Vaster than the sea, my foot."

"..."
