Please Don't Eat Me

Chapter 2

“Aahhh…hahhhhh…phewww….” A pale-faced Di Xiaoshu leaned against the door, rubbing his chest. His heart was still beating wildly.

I’m so screwed!!! TAT Aside from being an obedient son, a good student and a young cooking-enthusiast, Di Xiaoshu
had another identity—Mauzhertz.

It was a gene that ran in the family.
Mauzhertz could be considered to be some sort of demon but they usually kept to the rules and didn’t look any different from the human beings around them, other than the fact that they could be a bit of a scaredy-cat.

Normal people usually didn’t discover their identities.

When faced with other demonic beings, however, their identities were right out in the open, as was the case with that man.

Di Xiaoshu rubbed his eyes aggrievedly. Why…did it have to be…a snake demon?

Lausenschlange: snake demon, aggressive and hostile by nature.

It didn’t take much to recognize that they were natural enemies of Mauzhertz.

There weren’t many of them: at least Di Xiaoshu had never seen one. They had only appeared in bedtime stories and his parents’ warnings.

Also, along with the advancement of society, lausenschlange probably weren’t recklessly eating other creatures up as they did a few centuries ago.

But still, they lived way too close to each other. Why would a Lausenschlange miss out on a yummy meal right across the hall? Di Xiaoshu squatted by the door, hugging his quivering body with his arms. His mind was blank.

He thought of the man he had just seen. It seemed like he had just gotten off work. He still had on his tuxedo and his hair was styled perfectly. He was the image of elite. Lausenschlange, unlike the Mauzhertz, were a very strong group. They excelled, physically and mentally, and were ambitious, goal-oriented and decisive. Many of them were also very cruel and
relentless so many of them were powerful upperclassmen.

But…as a demonic being, social status could not satisfy their true needs.

Di Xiaoshu thought to himself: A snake will never lose its scales1
no matter how proper it may
appear to be.

Thus, the neighbourly lives of the Lausenschlange and Mauzhertz began on Di Xiaoshu’s sleepless first night.

Just a short chapter for this one, but thank you for reading. ☺️
