Chapter 8 Exposed
The next day, Ah Huang, who always liked to be late, got up early and came to the private school early.

There were no less than fifty students in the private school. When they saw Ah Huang standing at the entrance of the school, they couldn't help whispering as they passed by.

The little demons who went to look for Jiang Yuan yesterday were now following him.

Seeing that the class was almost over, but Guiyuan and Jiangyuan were still nowhere to be seen, a little demon with thorns all over his body spoke carefully, "Brother Huang, I guess they won't come today."

Ah Huang subconsciously wanted to stretch out his claws to hit him on the head, but he immediately stopped after realizing what was happening, thinking to himself, "That was a close call, I almost stabbed myself."

Seeing that several little demons were looking at him, he raised his paw and touched his head, saying, "They? Who are they? I'm just standing here to admire the scenery of the private school before class starts."

The other little pig demon saw that the hedgehog demon did not blame him for demolishing the Huangtai, so he also daringly said, "Brother Huang, do you think that Senior Sister Guiyuan and that human race teamed up to deceive us?"

Ah Huang rubbed his wrist, raised his hand and slapped the pig demon on the head, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was obviously Gui Yuan who deceived us, what does Jiang Yuan have to do with it?"

After saying that, he turned and walked into the private school, sat down in his seat, and supported his chin with his hand.

Ah Huang looked at the village chief who was giving a lecture in the front and felt his eyelids getting heavier every second. After a short while, he yawned.

He quickly scratched his face with his claws, barely perking himself up, then propped himself up again and started a boring and lifeless day...

……

Aunt Qi carried the tray, walked around the front hall, and went into the inner room. She stopped in front of a room that was three meters high. She then stretched out her claws and knocked on the door, asking, "Jiang Yuan, are you awake?"

Jiang Yuan put on the chest-length skirt that she and Guiyuan bought yesterday. She was worrying about her hair, but when she heard Aunt Qi's voice, she no longer cared about her hair and hurriedly opened the door.

Aunt Qi looked at Jiang Yuan with disheveled hair and was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What are you doing..."

Jiang Yuan coughed lightly and replied rather embarrassedly: "I'm combing my hair."

After saying that, she stepped aside and asked, "Why did you come here so early?"

Aunt Qi smiled, showed Jiang Yuan the two bowls on the tray in her hands, and said, "I got up early today, so I thought of cooking something for you and Big Cat... You can try my cooking and see if it suits your taste."

After saying that, Aunt Qi walked into the room and put the tray in her hand on the table.

"Thank you, Aunt Qi." Jiang Yuan thanked her politely.

At this moment, the big cat also opened his eyes, raised his head, sniffed the air again and again, and then his eyes lit up, and he cast his gaze into the bowl on the table.

Seeing its reaction, Aunt Qi couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, then she brought the bowl of her specially made dried catfish to Big Cat.

Although the big cat wanted to eat it very much and even licked his lips, he did not pounce on it immediately.

After Aunt Qi put the bowl on the ground, it turned its head and stared at Jiang Yuan expectantly, not even daring to blink.

Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly, remembering what Gui Yuan said before, that the minimum cost of the bamboo shoots was the cost of board and lodging, so he waved his hand and said, "Eat if you want!"

After saying this, she stopped paying attention to Big Cat, picked up the wooden comb, and tied her hair up...

Aunt Qi sighed, walked behind Jiang Yuan, took the comb, and said, "Let me do it. You stare at the mirror and see if you can learn it."

The moment Aunt Qi touched her hair, Jiang Yuan subconsciously sat up straight. Although she was a little nervous, she still nodded.

Aunt Qi's claws were very flexible, and her movements were gentle yet clean and neat. After a few movements with her claws, she tied a bun for her.

Then she took out two red hairbands from somewhere and tied them on her hair, making her look cute, lively and smart. "Have you learned it?"

Aunt Qi gently adjusted Jiang Yuan's bun and asked in a gentle tone.

Jiang Yuan was dazed for a moment, but quickly recovered and smiled, "I got it. Thank you, Aunt Qi."

Looking at the tray on the table and the bowl still steaming, she stood up and walked to her seat in front of the table and sat down.

Aunt Qi prepared a bowl of dried catfish for Da Miao, and porridge made from demon rice for her.

The demon rice looks no different from the rice in her world, but it tastes more fragrant.

When you first smell this bowl of porridge, it has a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves. Then, a scent of osmanthus comes to your nose. After smelling it for a long time, only the pure rice aroma remains.

When you look at it, it is crystal clear and the particles are distinct.

She couldn't help but scoop a spoonful into her mouth, and found the porridge soft, sticky and sweet.

I silently commented in my mind: It melts in your mouth, delicious!
Just as Jiang Yuan picked up the spoon to scoop the second spoonful, Gui Yuan's voice suddenly came from the front hall: "Aunt Qi... Jiang Yuan..."

Hearing this, Aunt Qi shook her head helplessly and said, "Really? You don't even give me time to eat..."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked outside, saying to Jiang Yuan and Da Miao behind her, "You guys eat first, I'll go out and take a look."

Guiyuan stood in the front hall and shouted for a long time. She felt a little bored. She stood there, propped her paws on the table, and wondered to herself, "Could it be that they haven't woken up yet?"

She turned around and happened to meet the eyes of Aunt Qi who had just walked out. After being stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but greet her cheerfully, but when she looked behind her, she found nothing, so she asked, "Aunt Qi, where are Jiang Yuan and the cat?"

"Have breakfast in the room!" After saying that, she glanced at Guiyuan and said, "You, I don't know what the village chief and you have discussed, but you can't even leave time for others to eat!"

Guiyuan raised his paw and scratched his head, saying, "I forgot too!"

Although the demon tribe has demon rice and usually grows some fruits and vegetables, they will not feel hungry even if they do not eat for ten days or half a month, so much so that she even forgot that Jiang Yuan, as a human, needs to eat three meals a day.

But when he got to this point, Guiyuan suddenly frowned, and looked at Aunt Qi with a look full of scrutiny and caution, and couldn't help but say, "It seems that you already know."

Aunt Qi chuckled and said, "This is something that all the villagers know. Plus, they've been talking about it a lot recently. I'm not deaf, so I can hear it naturally."

"then you……"

Guiyuan wanted to ask something else, but saw Jiang Yuan and Da Miao had already walked out of the inner room, so he immediately changed the subject.

She walked up to Jiang Yuan, took her hand, and asked, "Are you full?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, then poked her head out from Gui Yuan's side and said to Aunt Qi, "Aunt Qi's cooking skills are definitely the best in the Monster Village."

Guiyuan didn't give them much time to communicate. She took her hand and smiled politely at Aunt Qi, saying, "Since she's full, I'll take her away first."

After saying that, he turned and left...

Looking at their departing figures, Aunt Qi leaned against the counter, crossed her arms, and murmured, "I've been in the Monster Village for so many years, and now there's finally some news..."
