"This is the refreshing potion I refined!" Mu Qianxi said.
The city lord was willing to give it a try. After drinking the potion, he felt his sleepiness dissipate and his head became clearer.
His eyes widened, "It really works."
"Of course, I am a ghost doctor." Mu Qianxi was not modest at all about her medical skills.
"Great! Can you stay in my city and be my alchemist? In this case, I can get rid of the original sin of laziness." The city lord was ecstatic.
"This is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. If you want better treatment effects, you need to tell me why you are doing this! As the city lord of the lazy city, you can eat, drink, sleep and be as lazy as you want? With your strength here, is it possible?
Is there anyone who dares to rebel?" Mu Qianxi asked doubtfully.
"This... is the secret of our Seven Cities. I have to discuss it with other people before I can decide whether to tell you or not." The city lord said in a low voice.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave. City Lord, work hard and remember to balance work with rest," Mu Qianxi said.
When Mu Qianxi was about to leave, the city lord said: "I know your name is Mu Qianxi, and my name is Lai. Although every city lord has this name, it is also my only name now."
"Hello! Lazy." Mu Qianxi turned around and smiled.
These demon kings were different from what she had imagined. They were worthy of being a world dominated by her senior brother, and just like him, they did not follow the ordinary path.
"You called my name?" Lai said in surprise.
"What's wrong? You told me your name but didn't allow me to shout it?" Mu Qianxi raised her eyebrows.
"No, it's just that in the demon world, except for a few of them, no demon dares to call this name directly." Chi said.
The Demon Ancestor of the Demon Realm is not here, and the ten of them are the top beings in the Demon Realm. How can anyone have the courage to directly call him by his name?
This human being is completely different. He has never been afraid of him. He treats him like other ordinary demons and treats him with a normal heart.
Of course Mu Qianxi was very calm towards the Demon Emperor, after all, the same was true for their demon clan!
"I've always been very courageous!" Mu Qianxi laughed.
After Mu Qianxi left, Lazy enjoyed the benefits brought to him by Mu Qianxi's medicine.
I didn’t feel sleepy at all and my work efficiency was extremely high.
"This human being is really powerful." Chi said in a low voice.
Seeing Mu Qianxi's power, Chi made up his mind and sent the message to the other six.
"Your stupid brain won't be fooled, right?"
"There really are such amazing people! It's so interesting. Why can you find such interesting people?"
"A great alchemist? I really want to take her back from you."
"How does the potion taste?"
"Isn't that beauty very attractive?"
Except for one missing person, everyone else responded.
It's just that these little friends never paid attention to the main points and didn't mind at all what he was about to do.
Each city lord has lived too long and has too few interesting and special things, so they all hope to change this boring status quo with an attitude of trying.
The city lord of Lazy City lay lazily on the chair as if he had no bones, and said in a low voice: "Mu Qianxi, Mu Alchemist, Master Ghost Doctor..."
"I hope you can surprise me."
"Mr. Mu, the city lord is sleepy again. Please go to the city lord's mansion." Mo Bei came to invite Mu Qianxi.
"Yes!" Mu Qianxi agreed.
The Lord of the City did not lie down this time, but met her in the study.
The city lord was still busy when she arrived. He didn't speak until Mu Qianxi sat down.
"You're here, actually I'm not sleepy yet, I'm in good condition!"
"However, you have never rested. My potion is not meant for you to use like this. You demons have very strong bodies. I don't have a problem with ruining your body, but I have a big problem with ruining my medicine."
Mu Qianxi's eyes darkened slightly and she glanced at the guy in front of her.
"I don't want to either! Do you think I don't want to sleep all the time? Our Demon Ancestor is the object of my worship! But my life is miserable and I can't go on like this..." The Lord of Lazy City told Mu Qianxi a secret of the Demon Clan.
, a secret that only the ten demon emperors and demon ancestors know.
The reason why he told this secret was to ensure that she would not dare to leak it. Once word spread, the demon kings would never let her go.
Chi slowly revealed this important secret, "The city lords of the seven major cities, the city lords of each city bear the original sin. If the previous generation of city lords dies, the next generation's heirs cannot escape. To become a city lord, you must pay.
What are they? The previous generation's city lord of Lazy City, who was my master, couldn't resist the original sin of laziness in the end, and fell deeper and deeper into it, and then he died of laziness. The predecessors of several other major city lords were similar."
"We all know the rules of the game in this demon world, but I accidentally found a record in our Lazy City. Once the demons found the city lord of the Lazy City and told him that no matter how lazy the city lord was, he would not be allowed to do anything.
More than the Demon Ancestor like him, at that time he was trembling and suffering every day, restricting himself from falling asleep and resisting sleepiness. Even if he gave up in the end because the Demon Ancestor fell asleep, he was also the longest-serving city lord in Lazy City."
Mu Qianxi was slightly startled and said: "You want to survive, so you are ready to cure laziness with diligence, work desperately every day, and do all the work that is not yours?"
Lazy shook his head and said: "No! Live? Demons live a very long time. Even the city lord who died of laziness the fastest lived for tens of thousands of years! I just feel that a long and uneventless life is boring. I want to
Do something challenging! In the devil world, there are only two most challenging things."
"The first thing is to defeat the Demon Ancestor, and the second thing is to defeat one's own original sin. The first thing is impossible, but the second thing I think we can try. What is the original sin of laziness?
Either you want to destroy me or I suppress it. Although the process is very painful, once you succeed, don’t you think it’s super fun?” Chi smiled, his eyes lighting up a bit.
This guy's diligence is forced, laziness is still engraved in his bones, and he is also stubborn as a devil. People who do such things out of boredom are rare in themselves.
"Others saw what I did and found it very interesting, so they decided to come and have fun too. I like being the city lord of the demon world, so that I can be closer to the demon ancestor. But it would be even better if I could get rid of the original sin!"
Chi smiled and said, he has never concealed his admiration for Demon Ancestor, he is just like a little fanboy.
"The seven of us made a bet to see who could last the longest. I was really about to die, but you fell from the sky and saved me from this inevitable defeat. So, are you willing to help me? Is your medicine really good?
