Xia Lin thought he would be too nervous to fall asleep. In fact, he dozed off quickly and slept soundly until... well, it was still dark. The sky in the Demon Realm was always pitch - black, with a blood - red crescent moon hanging in the sky.
Anyway, Xia Lin not only fell asleep but also slept like a log. When he woke up, he felt much more energetic.
As soon as he woke up, the demoness maids were ready to help him dress, brush his teeth and wash his face. Xia Lin was not used to being served by these demonesses with "goat horns" on their heads and extremely revealing and charming outfits, so he sent them away. The demonesses knew that this was the human favored by the Demon King. Although they didn't know why the Demon King hadn't taken a fancy to him last night, the Demon King had personally ordered that from then on, this human would be the Demon King's exclusive male concubine and should be well - served. Therefore, although Xia Lin was a human looked down upon by demons, the demonesses still treated him respectfully.
After tidying himself up, Xia Lin was led by the demonesses to a palace for breakfast. The Demon King was sitting on the chair facing the main entrance, and there were some unidentified creatures on his plate.
After sitting down, Xia Lin thought there would also be unidentified creatures on his plate. Instead, there were normal white bread, sausages, and a normal glass of milk beside the plate.
Xia Lin glanced at the Demon King. The Demon King was eating expressionlessly. Xia Lin couldn't figure out what the Demon King was thinking. He thought he'd better fill his stomach first. He hadn't eaten anything last night and was starving!
Given the living standards in the Middle Ages, the food usually tasted mediocre. However, the white bread and sausages in the Demon Realm were even better than those he had eaten in the Earl's Mansion. He didn't know how the humans in this world made sausages; they tasted so bad! Maybe it was also because there were fewer seasonings. In short, food was scarce here, and the taste was just so - so. Fortunately, he came from a good family; otherwise, he would have to eat scratchy black bread and unpalatable oatmeal porridge. The oatmeal porridge in this world was nothing like that in the 21st century. It was extremely unappetizing (Xia Lin had taken a bite out of curiosity). Its only function was to fill one's stomach, and oats were cheaper than wheat. So the staple food of the poor here was usually oatmeal porridge or boiled beans. They couldn't even have black bread every meal!
Had the Demon Realm hired human chefs? They could even cook food that a picky person like him thought was okay.
"The Demon Realm does have a few human chefs!" Hearing the Demon King's voice, Xia Lin just realized that he had voiced his question.
The Demon King looked at Xia Lin with an air of "this little human has really never seen the world" and said, "Today's food was cooked by the assistant of that human chef. It doesn't taste as good as his. Moreover, many of my subordinates have human pets, and these pets also need to be fed. Of course, we need a couple of human chefs. Previously, a few chefs cooked unpalatable food and angered Mammon's concubine. Mammon gobbled them up in one gulp. Since then, these human chefs have been trying every means to improve the taste of the food and even experimented with magic. So, human, now you can eat food that tastes much better than what your family chef cooks!"
Xia Lin looked at the Demon King curiously and suddenly burst out laughing. The Demon King wore a disgruntled expression. "What are you laughing at? Are you mocking me?"
Xia Lin shook his head. "No, no. How could I have the guts? I just thought it was quite novel to hear you talk so much all at once. You usually look so lazy."
