Huang Ming couldn't understand why humans nowadays are so biased against demons. He used to visit the human kingdom often and drink with them. Although he didn't reveal his demonic form, he could tell that they didn't have much prejudice against demons.

"Huang Ming gege, since you're a demon, can you tell us your story?" Jinghe looked at Huang Ming with a curious expression.

"Then let me tell you a true story first." Huang Ming said.

"In ancient times, demons, angels, and dragons fought together against the invasion of the Wutu, and many of us died in the battle, including me. The boss was severely injured in the fight against the distortion, and I was also injured. During the retreat, the Bimon King collided with us, causing a huge mountain to collapse. The Death Demon and the boss retreated, while I fought against the Bimon King. In the end, I killed the Bimon King by exchanging injuries.

I knew I was dying, so I used the last of my sequential power to activate the 'Ashes' state. I burned all my enemies to ashes, until the 'Ashes' state ended, and I fell into the volcano." Huang Ming's tone was very calm, as if he was narrating someone else's story, without any ripples. But in the ears of Jinghe and Jinggu, it was extremely shocking.

"What happened next?" Jinghe asked eagerly, because it had completely aroused her curiosity.

"Who knows what happened next? I was already dead at that time. It seems that we won." Huang Ming shrugged indifferently.

As they spoke, the three arrived at the entrance of the city lord's mansion. The guards saw Huang Ming and the others and scolded, "How can the poor people from the slums enter the city lord's mansion? Leave quickly."

"And you, dressed like a dog, probably a poor person too, get lost!" One guard pointed at Huang Ming and cursed.

Huang Ming's face darkened as he heard the words. He grabbed the guard and released a fierce flame, burning the guard. The guard let out a scream and quickly turned into ashes.

The other guard, frightened by Huang Ming's actions, sat down on the ground, trembling, his pants wet, and his face pale as paper, looking at Huang Ming with fear in his eyes.

"Tell him that the Flame Demon has arrived and ask him to prepare food and wine." Huang Ming flicked his sleeves and threw the guard to the ground, saying coldly.

"Yes, yes!" The guard immediately nodded and ran away as if fleeing, without daring to look up at Huang Ming.

"Alright, let's go in." Huang Ming said.

"Yeah, let's have a feast." Jinghe's face was full of joy.

The mother and daughter followed Huang Ming into the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion was very large, covering hundreds of acres. The architectural style was extremely luxurious, with various styles blending together, making it enchanting and pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the magnificent city lord's mansion, Jinghe couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful here."

"It's not even one percent as good as my hometown." Huang Ming glanced at the city lord's mansion and said indifferently.

...

"City Lord, there's a man outside who claims to be a demon. He used fire magic to burn another guard to death. He asked...he asked you to prepare food and wine to welcome him." The guard rushed in and said to the city lord who was attending a feast.

"A demon?" The city lord was taken aback.

"Yes." The guard nodded affirmatively.

"Haha, the Flame Demon? Just a kid who can use fire magic." The middle-aged man sneered contemptuously.

"Pay no attention to him. If he is the Flame Demon, then I'm the Water deity. If he dares to come, I will crush him to pieces and scatter his remains." Another old man followed the conversation with his beard.

"Now that the Master Lufu has spoken, I don't worry anymore." The city lord laughed heartily, and the others echoed him.

...

Watching the maids in the city lord's mansion constantly bringing delicious food, Huang Ming thought to himself, "It seems that I, the Flame Demon, am quite respected."

Huang Ming stopped a maid and said, "The food is all prepared for me, no need to bring it in."

"But this is for the city lord to entertain Master Lufu." The maid looked at Huang Ming in distress.

Huang Ming's hand emitted a golden-red flame and threatened, "Are you trying to anger me?"

The maid was scared and handed the food to Huang Ming, "Bring a table and some chairs."

"Yes, Master." The maid answered tremblingly.

"Xiaohe, you eat first, there's plenty more behind." Huang Ming put the whole plate in front of Jinghe.

The maid followed Huang Ming's instructions and brought them tables and chairs.

The positions that Huang Ming and his two companions chose happened to be on the path where the food was delivered. Seeing that Huang Ming was blocking the way, the maids had no choice but to put all the food on Huang Ming's table.

The maids were ordinary people, forced by life's pressures to work as maids to earn some hard-earned money. If their luck was bad, they would even be harassed by the Ge Family young master.

Now that Huang Ming was blocking them from delivering the food, the maids naturally didn't dare to provoke him. They had to follow his orders. After all, everyone was just trying to make a living, and there was no need to anger the fire mage.

Seeing that there were already three or four dishes on the table, and they were all beautifully presented and smelled delicious, Jing He couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it smells so good."

"You and your mother can eat while it's hot," Huang Ming smiled slightly and said to Jing He.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Huang Ming," Jing He happily responded.

As she spoke, Jing He picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and chewed on it in her mouth. "Mmm! It's so delicious!" As Jing He ate, she praised, her bright and beautiful eyes shining as she looked at the food on the table, with a face full of happiness and intoxication.

This was the first time she had eaten such well-cooked food since she was born. Their family was usually poor, and even the mice were disgusted by their food. So Jing He naturally felt very happy, and she looked very cute and beautiful.

"In the eyes of demons, human strong people are nothing special, let alone this border city. The top human strong people won't even be here. You and your mother can rest assured and eat," Huang Ming spoke up.

"Thank you," Jing Gu expressed her gratitude.

"If you're busy, eat together. Those who don't come will die," Huang Ming threatened.

Upon hearing this, the maids immediately fell silent, lowered their heads, and continued to work.

...

Lord Gu Bai, the city lord, saw that the food had not arrived for a long time and couldn't help but get angry. "What's going on in the kitchen? Why hasn't the food arrived yet?"

"My lord, please calm down. There seems to be a slight problem in the kitchen, so it was delayed for a while," the guard hastily explained.

"I will immediately send someone to check, and I guarantee that it will be delivered to you soon," the guard assured.

"Good, hurry up. Don't keep my esteemed guests, the mage couples, waiting," City Lord Gu Bai ordered.

"Yes, sir!" The guard took the order and left, and soon saw Huang Ming and his group on the way.

"You bold criminals, how dare you trespass into the City Lord's Mansion and intercept the lunch of the honorable guests? It's absolutely outrageous! Capture them all!" The leader of the guards shouted loudly. He was Philis, the captain of Gu Bai's guard. He had always been responsible for the safety of the City Lord's Mansion, and he was the one who took care of the security of the mansion.

As soon as Philis finished speaking, dozens of guards rushed out and surrounded Huang Ming and the others, forming a tense standoff.

"Lord Philis, I... I'm sorry," one of the maids timidly walked out and begged Philis for mercy.

Philis glanced at the head maid and snorted coldly, saying, "It's good that you know your crime. Get ready to be punished." After that, Philis waved his hand, signaling the guards to take away Huang Ming and the others.

Jing He was completely absorbed in eating and didn't pay any attention to what was happening around her. "Mother, this fish is delicious, eat more," Jing He said to Jing Gu as she ate.

Watching Jing He enjoy her food, Jing Gu's mouth curved into a doting smile. She gently shook her head, then shifted her gaze to Huang Ming.

Huang Ming's body suddenly burst into a blazing fire, and the flames turned into a fire dragon, rushing towards the surrounding guards. The guards were engulfed by the flames released by Huang Ming, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into nothingness, not even leaving a drop of blood behind.

"Oh my god! These guards are all dead!" Philis widened his eyes in shock, his face full of astonishment as he exclaimed.

"Continue eating, the City Lord is treating you. Isn't that right, Philis?" Huang Ming looked at the stunned Philis and asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course, it's the City Lord treating you," Philis nodded repeatedly, his face filled with horror as he looked at Huang Ming.

"That's right. It's only right for the host to treat the guests. Otherwise, it would tarnish the City Lord's mansion's reputation, wouldn't it?" Huang Ming said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right," Philis kept nodding, sweat flowing down his forehead. His heart was beating violently, as if it would jump out of his throat in the next second. He was trembling all over.

"Give Lord Philis another bowl and chopsticks, and let him sit down and eat. Let him taste the delicious food of the City Lord's Mansion," Huang Ming said to the head maid.

"Okay, please wait a moment. It will be delivered soon," the head maid nodded repeatedly and then fetched a set of bowl and chopsticks.

Phyllis took a deep breath and slowly sat down, constantly regulating her emotions by deep breathing to prevent herself from being too nervous.

"Master Phyllis, why have you been sweating so much? Are you feeling weak? Have some lamb tonic to nourish your body," Huanming said with a smile, and then placed the lamb tonic in front of Phyllis.

The decisive and ruthless aura of killing emanating from Huanming made Phyllis too afraid to lift her head and meet his gaze. In order to survive, she had to yield.

"Thank you," Phyllis trembled and then used her chopsticks to pick up the lamb tonic and brought it to her mouth.
