Chapter 384: 402 Friendship in Wine_1
 

“Ah, my poor servant Clair…”

The Demon Flame Emperor coldly looked at Clair, and then shifted his gaze to Otto and Konoheim.

Afterwards, he sneered, “I wondered how you dare deceive me; it seems you have found yourself a new master.

Did you willingly put a collar around your neck and offer the chain with both hands?

Or am I a gift to your new master as a show of sincerity?”

Clair hid behind Otto, shivering and still not daring to say anything.

Meanwhile, Otto laughed lightly, “So, you are the Demon Flame Emperor?”

Hovering high in the sky, the Demon Flame Emperor silently nodded in acknowledgment.

Then, with an unchanged expression, Otto smiled, “Perhaps, Clair did not deceive you after all?”

Upon hearing this, the Demon Flame Emperor revealed a ‘you must be kidding me’ expression, and Clair, hiding behind Otto, looked confused as well.

However, Otto then pointed towards another direction where a slightly smaller Dark Erosion Crab was placed.

At the moment, this Dark Erosion Crab had fallen unconscious due to the previous pressure from the Demon Flame Emperor, and with no intervention, death might be a risk.

The Demon Flame Emperor recognized the Dark Erosion Crab; he had eaten one before and never forgot its taste.

Previously, his attention was caught by the dragons, and he really hadn’t noticed that such an enormous crab was nearby.

As he looked at it, the seasoned foodie Demon Flame Emperor couldn’t help but drool uncontrollably.

Even at the Demon Flame Emperor’s level, his saliva was anything but ordinary.

Upon closer inspection, instead of ordinary saliva, hot molten magma was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

“Sizzle!”

The Demon Flame Emperor suddenly sucked the magma back in and seemed to have lost his composure unconsciously.

He then curiously looked at Otto and asked, “So, what exactly do you want to say?”

“Your previous request for Clair was merely to notify you once the Dark Erosion Crab was obtained, right?”

Faced with Otto’s question, although feeling that something wasn’t quite right, the Demon Flame Emperor nodded, as it was indeed what he had said before.

Then, Otto continued with a matter-of-fact tone, “Well, that’s it. Clair has done as promised, and as for us, we are just some guests who have come from afar!”

“Guests?”

The Demon Flame Emperor looked at Otto suspiciously, thinking that the scene below didn’t resemble friendly visitors.

To be honest, he was somewhat wary of Konoheim, who was still in his middle-aged weirdo appearance.

Having a certain understanding of Konoheim, the Demon Flame Emperor knew how troublesome he could be.

“Please believe us, we’ve just come to make friends with you!”

Trying to appear sincere, Otto seemed genuinely interested in having a friendly exchange with the Demon Flame Emperor.

Of course, he didn’t mention that if the Demon Flame Emperor was unwilling to engage in a mentally friendly exchange, he wouldn’t mind forcefully initiating a physically friendly one.

Don’t get the wrong idea; this refers to a friendly brawl…

Flying in the air, the Demon Flame Emperor pondered for a moment, and soon noticed that the Dark Erosion Crab beside him seemed to be at its limit.

To enjoy this food, freshness was key; once it died, it wouldn’t be tasty anymore!

Hence, the Demon Flame Emperor proposed, “Let’s put other matters aside for now and deal with this Dark Erosion Crab first. Once it dies, it won’t taste good!”

It seems that the Demon Flame Emperor is indeed a foodie.

However, Otto had no objection and simply nodded his head in silence.

Upon receiving Otto’s permission, the Demon Flame Emperor landed beside him, opened his mouth, and spat out a hot Flame mixed with grey smoke at the Dark Erosion Crab.

After being washed by the Demon Flame Emperor’s unique scorching weapon, the surface color of the Dark Erosion Crab quickly turned from black to red.

While standing next to the Demon Flame Emperor, Otto sniffed and noticed a charcoal-grilled aroma from the unique breath of the emperor.

Charcoal-grilled crab, Otto felt that he and the Demon Flame Emperor were kindred spirits in this regard.

After the Dark Erosion Crab was prepared, the Demon Flame Emperor immediately flew beside it and started eating a crab claw without hesitation.

This guy didn’t even bother to remove the shell and sent the entire claw directly into his mouth.

The crisply grilled crab shell made a crisp crackling sound under his sharp teeth, stimulating Otto’s taste buds in protest.

After a brief thought, Otto retrieved a hemp bag from his Treasure Bag and handed it to the Demon Flame Emperor.

The Demon Flame Emperor looked at Otto with some confusion, but his eyes brightened upon opening the hemp bag.

It turned out that inside the bag were top-grade spices equivalent to gold in value.

Immediately, the Demon Flame Emperor excitedly asked, “For me?”

With a light laugh, Otto nodded, directly causing the Demon Flame Emperor’s fondness for him to soar.

For a foodie, nothing could buy their loyalty more than delicious food.

Without any hesitation, the Demon Flame Emperor sprinkled the entire contents of the hemp bag onto the crab claw in his hand.

An entire hemp bag filled with spices may have been a lot, but it really didn’t seem enough for a colossal crab with a twenty-five-meter diameter.

Within a short time, the spices in the Demon Flame Emperor’s hand were used up, as he ate quickly as well.

Next, he looked at Otto expectantly.

With a simple smile on his face, Otto handed him another hemp bag of spices and even several large jars of fine wine!

However, compared to his massive body, the wine jars were no different from ordinary cups in human hands.

The wine was a potent distilled liquor specially brewed by Longfang and had quite a kick. Even if the Demon Flame Emperor deliberately didn’t break down the alcohol content, a few sips would leave his head spinning.

As a top-level foodie, the Demon Flame Emperor naturally couldn’t break down the alcohol content of such fine liquor, as it would interfere with his tasting of the true flavor.

Unconsciously, multiple afterimages of Otto appeared in the Demon Flame Emperor’s vision.

Meanwhile, Otto also casually snacked on a crab leg, clinking glasses with him.

“Cheers! The friendship is in the wine!”

Clair, who was standing on the side, had a face full of disbelief at the sight…
