Chapter 24 Spicy Shrimp
Teng San Niang had already made preparations and immediately ordered two maids beside her to bring the package.
This is a blue cloth bundle, neatly folded and tightly tied with hemp rope.
After untying it, Ziying leaned closer to take a look, revealing ordinary fabric and a few unidentified small items.
"Hey, it's actually quite pretty."
Teng San Niang took out the items one by one and spread them out on the stone slab by the spring.
The mandrill glanced sideways at the ground, and from dozens of meters away, it could only make out that what was spread out on the stone slab was a scarlet piece of cloth, and next to it was... a fan?
The fabric seemed much smaller than a regular robe, barely enough to be used as an apron.
What kind of costume is this? I've never seen it before! He then sneered inwardly: No matter what it is, I would rather die than wear it! And I would never step onto that stage!
Lu Changgeng took the clothes, shook them out, and found that the color and style were exactly as he had expected. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Excellent!"
Teng San Niang is a reliable person when it comes to getting things done.
This is a scarlet short coat.
Strictly speaking, it's not short; it only covers the parts that should be covered, leaving the rest uncovered.
The upper body was a very fitted short jacket, sleeveless, low-cut, with almost no back, except for two thin straps that went around the shoulders and tied in a bow at the back of the neck.
Her lower body was clad in a long, side-slit skirt of the same color, with the slit extending all the way to her upper thigh. Only a belt was tied at the very top, from which hung three golden bells that jingled in the mountain breeze.
The fabric of the entire outfit, when put together, would only be enough to make half a sleeve of his previous concubine's long dress.
This is not over yet.
Lu Changgeng then picked up a pair of black stockings that looked like fishing nets, covered with openwork patterns. They were extremely thin and, when unfolded, were longer than his two legs combined, reaching all the way to the middle of his thighs.
"Master, I had this made by the best tailor in the market, but unfortunately it's still not quite what you described."
"Hmm, it's already very good. I'm quite satisfied." Lu Changgeng knew that this was due to the limitations of the times, and he didn't blame Teng Sanniang.
Then there was a folding fan.
It wasn't a scholar's inscribed paper fan, but rather a red fan with gold trim and a flame pattern painted on the surface, and it was no more than the length of a palm when folded up.
Lu Changgeng flicked his wrist to open the fan, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Hmm, not bad."
He then looked at the group of lesser demons and immediately spotted the wolf demon and deer demon who had mocked him in the cave.
He pointed and said, "You two, come here."
"Huh? Me?" The wolf demon pointed to himself.
The deer demon was bewildered and looked around.
"Yes, that dog head and deer head, I'm talking about the two of you."
……
The two demons walked timidly to Lu Changgeng, their former smugness completely gone.
"Stop laughing, why aren't you two laughing anymore?" Lu Changgeng patted the two demons' heads with a smile.
"Oh, so the smile has moved to my face."
"Pfft!" Teng San Niang couldn't help but chuckle softly, her body trembling with laughter.
"Immortal... what does the Immortal Master command us to do?" The wolf demon bowed his head, his eyes glancing upwards, his face full of flattery and ingratiation.
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. You two put this outfit on your king," Lu Changgeng said calmly.
"Huh? Me?" The wolf demon pointed to his face again.
The deer demon trembled like a leaf, unable to utter a single word.
"Go quickly. I have already restricted his cultivation and magical power, and bound his body. You two go ahead." Lu Changgeng didn't have much patience. "If you don't go, you two can go report to the King of Hell."
"Yes, yes, yes... I'll go right away." The wolf demon glanced at the mountain demon glaring angrily, gritted his teeth and accepted the order, while also giving the deer demon a push.
The deer demon was a coward and only dared to follow behind the wolf demon.
"Third Sister, go and give them some guidance," Lu Changgeng instructed.
"Yes, Immortal Master."
The two demons took the clothes and then came to the mountain demon's side.
The wolf demon spoke first: "Great...Your Majesty, I...I'm sorry."
Although the mountain demon was bound, its remaining power was still there. It glared at the two demons, who felt like they couldn't breathe.
The wolf demon steeled himself and decided not to look him in the eye. He immediately began urging the deer demon to help him get dressed.
The mandrill's transformation ability has been restricted by Lu Changgeng, so it has a mandrill-faced adult form, and the clothes fit perfectly.
A moment later, under Teng San Niang's guidance, the two demons dressed the mountain demon in all its clothes and even stuffed a folding fan into its hands.
"Hmm, very good." Lu Changgeng clapped his hands, revealing a pair of water mirrors.
The water mirror floated to the mandrill, whose face turned green when it saw its reflection.
The wolf demon and the deer demon had their heads almost buried in the ground, and they weren't as scared as before. Their shoulders trembled, and they occasionally made "hmph" sounds, clearly trying very hard to suppress their laughter.
Meanwhile, the surrounding demons couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You scoundrel...you...you've gone too far!" the mandrill roared in fury.
Lu Changgeng remained noncommittal, saying that this was just the beginning and the matter was far from over.
"You two carry it onto the stage," Lu Changgeng ordered.
The wolf demon and the deer demon immediately did as instructed. They had already offended the mountain demon, so one more time wouldn't make a difference.
The mandrill was quickly carried to the center of the stage, and Lu Changgeng immediately used water to bind its limbs, making it pose in a specific way: its right wrist was holding an open fan, its left hand was on its hip, its waist was lowered, and its legs were spread apart and slightly bent forward.
And so, a scene unfolded on the stage: a man with the face of a goblin was posing in a strange way, his scarlet short coat barely covering his rough body, the side-slit skirt fluttering in the evening wind, his thighs faintly visible, the bow on his back extremely eye-catching, and the three golden bells at his waist ringing every time he trembled.
The mandrill's face turned a deep shade of liver; he could imagine how humiliating he looked just by looking at himself.
"You barbarian! I will kill you! Kill you... ugh..."
The next moment, his mouth was sealed with a glob of water.
"Alright, the performance is about to begin." Lu Changgeng then introduced the outfit worn by the demons below the stage, "The clothes your king is wearing are called 'Shiranui,' and they come from a place called Fusang. It's something none of you have ever seen before. Thank you for giving you this feast for the eyes."
The demons had been waiting impatiently. They had never seen a powerful demon in human form perform for them before. The feeling of becoming king was simply wonderful.
"Oh, right." Lu Changgeng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who are you waiting for who can read?"
The demons present looked at each other in bewilderment.
"No?" Lu Changgeng frowned slightly.
At this moment, the wolf demon who had appeared earlier thought something good was happening and came out to whisper, "Immortal Master... I know some of them."
"Oh? Not bad, not bad, you've got potential. I have a note here. When your king performs, you'll read it aloud, and remember to read it with feeling." Lu Changgeng tossed a piece of paper over.
The wolf demon picked it up, examined it carefully for a while, and then read it aloud with some doubt.
"Andy?"
"Spicy shrimp?"
"Hey, just got your dad?"
"Kachusen?"
"Sinoby 87?"
