I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 429 Surrender.

"Okay, okay, let's eat meat, it's already ordered."

Yun Qingyi then asked Xie Xiyan and Ji Zhaoze, and the three of them added some vegetables and some fried meatballs that Xiao Rou, the kitten, loved to eat. They stared at the payment method on the jade tablet for a brief second.

It's only because it says on it that "Payment can be made with Pangshanju Spirit Tokens".

Yun Qingyi took out the round token that Pang San had given her before from her storage ring. Could this be the spirit storage token mentioned on it?

Yun Qingyi tentatively placed the round tablet on the jade tablet, and in less than a second, the illusory interface directly above it changed.

[Ding, your spirit stone balance is 379 million (superior spirit stones). Would you like to pay for the 9 spirit stone order? (superior spirit stones)] Yun Qingyi clicked to pay without hesitation. After deducting the spirit stones, her balance was reduced to 370 million superior spirit stones.

In general buying and selling transactions, low-grade spirit stones are commonly used, so anything above low-grade must be specifically mentioned.

A meal costing 90,000 spirit stones left the short-tailed cats and silver moon wolfhound demons dumbfounded. That 90,000 high-grade spirit stones was enough for them to eat lavish meals for more than ten years.

If they were initially filled with fear and unease, they have now suppressed that unease, and their gazes toward Yun Qingyi and the others now show not only admiration and respect, but also a palpable sincerity.

No demon clan had ever treated them with such care before. These lords didn't treat them as amusement or tools, and even allowed them to eat such luxurious meals...

After a period of imagining and being moved, they had begun to harbor a subtle intention to follow him to the death.

Yun Qingyi put away the round token, thinking to herself that the commission had already been so much in just a few months, it seemed that the information had sold quite well.

However, the three of them did not miss the emotional changes of these demons, but they remained silent, after all, they had intentionally guided them.

This kind of loyalty is exactly what they want; it will make things much easier for them to do what they need to do next.

After waiting a while, the dishes were served. The maids carefully opened the door, and one after another, graceful figures entered in an orderly fashion.

Each dish was carried by a waiter or maid, arranged in order, and then the maids walked out with elegant and light steps.

It was pleasing to the eye without lingering too long and disturbing the guests.

After all the dishes were served, the head maid curtsied and said with a polite smile, "Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen. If you require any service, please summon us by pressing the jade tablet." With that, she carefully closed the door.

"Wow! Fish!" As soon as the door closed, the kitten couldn't sit still. Yun Qingyi had specially chosen dishes without fish bones or fins, picked some out and placed them in a small bowl for the kitten to eat.

The bobcats had mixed feelings about what was happening. This night had completely overturned their worldview, yet they had to admit that they were deeply moved.

"Eat up, don't just look."

Yun Qingyi's gentle voice delivered a powerful shock to their souls.

The meal was delicious. To be honest, although they were mid-level demon beasts and had no worries about food and drink, this was the first time they had ever eaten such a dish rich in spiritual energy.

The demon race also relies mainly on spiritual energy for cultivation, but after absorbing spiritual energy, they must convert it into demonic power within their bodies.

However, these foods allowed them to skip a step: they could directly convert the food into demonic power without having to digest and transform it themselves.

In the world of cultivation, there are various professions, big and small. One of them is the Spirit Chef. This profession doesn't have high requirements, but it is a profession that truly depends on talent.

With such talent, the food they make is not only delicious, but can also provide spiritual energy for various races to absorb, depending on the circumstances.

If you don't have much talent, you can only be an ordinary cook. The food may be delicious, but you won't have the ability to make it easily digestible.

However, the first type of chef usually charges very high prices, which is absolutely unaffordable for them, so they can usually only eat food prepared by the second type of chef.

This was the first time they had ever eaten such food. The meal brought tears to the eyes of the cats and dogs. After leaving the Drunken Demon Tower, they came to a relatively secluded place, where several cats and dogs knelt down before the three people.

"My lords, we actually knew from the beginning that you three wanted to subdue our Short-tailed Cat and Silver Moon Wolfhound clans. The world has been in chaos lately, so we are not opposed to it."

"We never expected to be treated with such sincerity, which makes us feel uneasy."

"It also deeply moved us. In fact, we know that even if you gentlemen do nothing, as noble high-ranking demons, as long as you give orders, we would not dare to disobey."

"But the officials are not what we imagined; they don't simply use us as servants or tools."

"During this meal, we felt that you, sir, truly cared for us. Therefore, we hereby swear that the Short-tailed Cat Clan and the Silver Moon Wolfhound Clan will follow you, sir, to the death!"

"We swear to follow you to the death, sir!"

"We swear to follow you to the death, sir!"

"..."

Yun Qingyi and the other two exchanged glances, all somewhat surprised. They had indeed intended to win them over through psychological warfare, and had been thinking of putting in more effort, but they hadn't expected them to surrender so quickly.

"Get up," Yun Qingyi said, looking at the demons kneeling on the ground. "Since you trust us, we will not let you down."

The short-tailed cats and silver moon wolves stood up, waiting for Yun Qingyi and the others to brand them.

Generally, when a lower-level demon shows goodwill to a higher-level demon, the higher-level demon will brand the demon with a mark. This mark not only represents loyalty but also serves as a constraint and punishment, easily determining the life or death of the lower-level demon, leaving no room for resistance.

However, Yun Qingyi and the others were not true demons. She coughed lightly and said, "We will not brand you. As the saying goes, if you use someone, you should trust them; if you don't trust someone, you shouldn't use them. Since I have decided to trust you, I will not use such despicable means to bind you."

You will always be free.

Xie Xiyan and Ji Zhaoze nodded in agreement, "That's right, you are free."

These words not only brought tears to the eyes of the demons, but also convinced them that they had made the right choice in following the demons. "Yes!"

After the two little ones had eaten and drunk their fill, they were fast asleep in Yun Qingyi and Xie Xiyan's arms, completely undisturbed by the noise they had just heard.

"Sleeping quite soundly." Yun Qingyi smiled as she looked at the kitten in her arms, then looked at the two short-tailed cats and three silver moon wolfhounds in front of her. "To be honest, there is something I need you to do."

Upon hearing this, the five demons immediately straightened their bodies and said excitedly and solemnly, "Please speak, my lord, we will definitely do our best."

Yun Qingyi said slowly, "It's nothing, I just wanted you to pay attention to the changing winds in the Demon Capital over the next month, especially those related to the Demon Emperor."

Most high-ranking demons pay close attention to this kind of thing, so it's normal for the five demons to hear Yun Qingyi say that, and this kind of intelligence gathering is not dangerous.

"Don't worry, sir, we promise to complete the mission well."
