Chapter 303 An unexpected surprise
Lin Qingxue picked up a potato chip and put it in her mouth, frowning slightly: "This tastes... a bit strange."
"This is spicy crayfish flavor," Chen Yu said with a smile. "It's one of the most popular flavors among modern people."
Liu Ruyan ate several slices in one breath, her eyes sparkling: "This is even better than spicy noodles!"
Just as the three of them were enjoying snacks, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the secret room.
A tall and thin man in a gray robe rushed in. He was pale and had cold sweat on his forehead.
“Help…Help!” The man slumped to his knees. “I…I can’t hold on any longer!”
Chen Yu looked closely and found that the man was none other than Wang Changfeng, a member of the Righteous Alliance patrol team.
He was trembling all over, veins on his face bulging, and a faint black energy was oozing out of his body.
Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan immediately became alert, holding the Ice Mirror and Fire Spirit Sword respectively.
"Don't be nervous." Chen Yu stopped the two women, "Let me see."
He walked up to Wang Changfeng, squatted down and looked at him carefully. He saw that Wang Changfeng's eyes began to turn red and his nails were slowly growing longer and blacker.
"Oh no, it's the candy that's causing the problem." Chen Yu suddenly realized, "Do you have demon blood in your body?"
Wang Changfeng gritted his teeth and nodded: "I... I am a mixed-blood, and I have always relied on pills to suppress it.
I just ate your candy, and the evil spirit in my body suddenly...ran out!"
"Interesting." Chen Yu touched his chin, "It seems that my snacks have a special reaction to demon blood."
A strange light flashed in Lin Qingxue's eyes. She also had demon blood and had been looking for a way to suppress it.
"Please save me!" Wang Changfeng grabbed Chen Yu's sleeve, "I don't want to become a demon!"
Chen Yu chuckled: "I can save you, but..."
"I'm willing to pay any price!" Wang Changfeng said hurriedly, "as long as I can suppress the evil spirit!"
Chen Yu took out a pack of biscuits from his cloth bag: "This is a specially made 'Demon-Suppressing Biscuit', it can help you."
"Really?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Wang Changfeng's eyes.
"Of course it's true." Chen Yu said seriously, "But it requires special magic.
Qingxue, come and help me."
Lin Qingxue understood and took out the Ice Mirror, aiming it at Wang Changfeng. Chen Yu broke the biscuits into small pieces and fed them to Wang Changfeng while having Lin Qingxue use the ice mirror's cold energy to suppress the demonic energy in his body.
Liu Ruyan was stunned watching from the side: "You can even think of this?"
"This is called improvisation," Chen Yu said proudly. "Combining snacks and magic spells doubles the effect."
Sure enough, under the dual effects of the biscuits and the ice mirror, the evil energy in Wang Changfeng's body gradually subsided.
The veins on his face receded and his nails returned to normal.
"Thank you so much for saving my life!" Wang Changfeng kowtowed excitedly, "From now on, I, Wang Changfeng, will be yours!"
Chen Yu quickly helped him up: "Don't be so polite. But you have to promise me one thing."
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"If the Righteous Alliance investigates my alchemy, you have to help me cover up."
Chen Yu blinked, "And he has to come to me regularly to get the 'Demon-Suppressing Cookies'."
Wang Changfeng nodded repeatedly: "Of course! But..." He hesitated for a moment, "I have another unwelcome request."
"tell me the story."
“I have a few companions like me in the Righteous Alliance. They are also half-bloods and have been troubled by demonic energy.
I don’t know if I can…”
"No problem." Chen Yu waved his hand, "Let them come to me too. I can cure any disease."
Wang Changfeng was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "Thank you so much, benefactor! Thank you so much, benefactor!"
After Wang Changfeng left, Lin Qingxue looked at Chen Yu thoughtfully: "Did you do this on purpose?"
"What do you mean by intentional?" Chen Yu pretended to be stupid.
"We deliberately use snacks to draw out the evil spirits in their bodies, and then suppress them with snacks again."
Lin Qingxue said, "This way, they will obey you."
Chen Yu chuckled, "Clever. But this will benefit everyone. They can suppress the demonic energy, I can be protected, and you can research new methods of suppression."
A strange look flashed in Lin Qingxue's eyes: "Can your snacks really suppress demonic energy?"
"Of course." Chen Yu took out a bag of jelly from the bag, "Would you like to try it?
This one is blueberry flavored, refreshing and cool.”
Lin Qingxue hesitated for a moment before accepting the jelly. The demonic blood in her body had always been a hidden danger, and if she could find a new way to suppress it, it would be a pleasant surprise.
"Wait." Liu Ruyan suddenly said, "What if something goes wrong?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm prepared."
He took out another bag of biscuits and a bag of potato chips from the cloth bag: “The jelly and biscuits suppress the evil spirit, and the potato chips neutralize the reaction.
Add to that the two of you with your Ice Mirrors and Fire Spirit Swords, and we'll be absolutely safe."
Lin Qingxue looked at the jelly in her hand and gently tore open the package. The crystal clear jelly exuded a faint fragrance, and she took a careful bite.
"How does it feel?" Chen Yu asked nervously.
Lin Qingxue closed her eyes and carefully felt the changes in her body: "It's a little cold, but very comfortable.
The demonic energy within the body...seems to have calmed down a bit."
"That's right." Chen Yu handed her a biscuit, "Eat this too."
Liu Ruyan gripped the Fire Spirit Sword, ready to strike at any moment. Lin Qingxue ate the biscuit, and a sudden surge of warmth surged through her body, intertwining with the coolness of the jelly.
"Huh?" Lin Qingxue opened her eyes. "This feeling... is so special."
At this moment, a gloomy voice came from outside the secret room: "Interesting, using mortal food to suppress the evil spirit."
The three of them turned around and saw an old man in black standing at the door.
His face was haggard, his eyes were cold, and he exuded a gloomy aura.
"Demon...Demon Lord!" Liu Ruyan screamed.
Chen Yu was shocked. The Demon Lord was a top demon among the demons, but he didn't expect to meet him here.
He subconsciously touched the cloth bag and found that there were still a lot of snacks left in it.
"Boy, hand over your secret." The Demon Lord sneered, "I can spare your life."
Chen Yu pretended to be scared: "What secret? I...I don't know."
"Pretending to be stupid?" The Demon Lord raised his hand and a black aura attacked the three people.
Lin Qingxue raised the Ice Mirror, while Liu Ruyan wielded the Fire Spirit Sword. The cold and flames intertwined to form a barrier, barely blocking the attack of the black energy.
"You have some skills." The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, "But in the face of absolute power, all these are in vain."
He flashed and instantly appeared in front of the three people. His powerful aura was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe.
At this critical moment, Chen Yu suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
"Hmm?" The Demon Lord stopped.
"Senior, look at this." Chen Yu pulled out a bag of spicy strips from his cloth bag. "This is a magical item that can suppress evil spirits. Would you like to try it?"
The Demon Lord sneered: "Do you think I will be fooled?"
"If you don't believe me, smell it." Chen Yu tore open the package, and the aroma of spicy strips immediately wafted out.
The Demon Lord wrinkled his nose: "This smell..."
"Right?" Chen Yu took the opportunity to say, "This is my special 'Demon Suppressing Spicy Noodles'. Even the people from the Righteous Alliance are vying for it."
The Demon Lord hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the spicy strips. He took a bite and his expression changed. "What...what is this?"
The Demon Lord was trembling all over, and the black energy on his body began to become disordered. He opened his mouth to speak, but only a "wuwu" sound came out.
"Here, have some of this." Chen Yu handed him a bottle of Coke. "It's for soothing the spiciness."
The Demon Lord didn't have time to think about it, he took the Coke and took a big gulp.
As a result, the bubbles in the Coke choked him and made him burp, and the black air became even more chaotic.
"Senior, are you okay?" Chen Yu asked while suppressing a smile.
The Demon Lord glared at him and wanted to get angry but was choked and speechless.
He waved his hand, turned around and ran away, apparently unable to bear the torture of spicy strips and cola.
Liu Ruyan heaved a sigh of relief after the Demon Lord walked away: "I didn't expect that even the Demon Lord is afraid of your snacks."
Lin Qingxue looked at the spicy noodles and cola in Chen Yu's hand, thinking: "Do these things really have such a big impact on the demonic energy?"
"That's natural," Chen Yu said proudly. "The power of modern food is not as simple as you think."
He took out another bunch of snacks from the bag and said, "Come on, strike while the iron is hot, let's study it carefully.
Maybe we can find a new way to suppress the evil spirit."
Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan looked at each other and saw curiosity and anticipation in each other's eyes.
The three of them sat together and started an unconventional "snack research meeting".
