Chapter 385: Demon Cage?
"I'm sorry, classmate, you should try another one."

The stall owner didn't believe what he said. Even after he said this, the girl would still ask him for the wooden cage.

Besides, students are always thin-skinned. Can he really let a girl bully him?
However, he didn't expect that such a shabby cage would be favored by someone. This was the first time in history.

It seems that next time he should make a cover to cover his family heirloom.

What if someone really has the foresight to recognize this gem?

……

Su Youjin pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The other party even brought up his ancestors, what else could she say?
If she insists on having this cage, wouldn't that be forcing her?
However, looking at the silver in the cage, Su Youjin's eyes flashed with determination. For the sake of the silver, she would accept it even if it was against her will.

Just when she was about to say something else, Xiao Xiao spoke first, "Boss, is this your family heirloom?"

There was a hint of doubt and slight curiosity in his tone, "Such a cage?"

"Any idea?"

It seemed to be just a simple question, without any intention or ulterior motive.

The stall owner hesitated for a moment. His experience told him that he could not avoid the question at this time. He had previously shown a disdainful attitude towards this so-called treasure. Now, avoiding the question would only arouse suspicion.

Anyway, which heirloom doesn't have some strange origins and legends? As for whether it is true or false, it depends on personal opinion.

Just think of it as telling a story to people.

Thinking of this, the stall owner showed a hearty smile, "Of course there is an explanation."

"Otherwise, how can you say it's a family heirloom?"

At this point, the stall owner lowered his voice and revealed a mysterious expression, "According to the legend passed down from generation to generation in my family, this is not a simple wooden cage, but -"

The stall owner paused for a moment and looked at Xiao Xiao with sharp eyes. Xiao Xiao immediately understood and replied in a very supportive tone, "But?"

"It's a demon-catching cage!"

The stall owner was very satisfied with Xiao Xiao's reaction. It turned out that scholars were smart. He knew what he needed him to do without him saying anything.

So without further delay, the answer was announced directly.

It's good to whet your appetite for a while; if you do it for too long it will become meaningless.

"Demon Cage."

Xiao Xiao murmured it again, a flash of realization passing through his lowered eyes.

Demon cage, demon cage, that’s it!

……

"Demon-catching-cage!"

A voice as clear and transparent as thin ice sounded faintly, with a gentle tone, but every word seemed to be light and weightless, making people puzzled and inexplicably panicked at the same time.

Su Youjin glanced at the stall owner, then turned her gaze back to the cage.

Is this the demon-catching cage?
What a straightforward name.

No wonder it was able to trap Yin Zi and also injured him all over his body.

……

Su Youjin's glance made the stall owner feel a chill running up his spine and quickly spreading to every part of his body.

He couldn't help but freeze, as if his whole body was frozen.

He pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled with difficulty, using words to relieve the inexplicable emotions in his heart, "Haha, isn't it a ridiculous statement?"

"Demon-catching cage?"

"Where do monsters come from in this world?"

"What age are you in now?"

"Even if you haven't read many books, you know that monsters are just nonsense."

……

The stall owner spoke faster and faster, his expression gradually became excited, and he gestured with his hands, as if he really believed it.

In fact, he thought the claim that the heirloom was a demon-catching cage was nonsense, so he said it without hesitation.

It doesn’t matter to him whether others believe it or not, he doesn’t believe it anyway.

……

He had personally experienced that the heirloom could protect the safety of the Sun family.

He was convinced.

But, a demon cage?

Regardless of whether monsters exist or not, can such a simple cage catch monsters?
And, monsters?
Isn't this a creature that only appears in strange stories?
The real world is dominated by technology.

Besides, who can say that they have seen a monster?
I'm afraid people will think I'm crazy.

……

"Hasn't this demon-catching cage ever caught any demons?"

Xiao Xiao asked the question with great interest, and seemed to be very interested in this demon-catching cage.

"How is it possible?!"

The stall owner exclaimed, looking at Xiao Xiao in disbelief, "Classmate, do you believe that monsters exist in the world?"

"Isn't it interesting?"

Xiao Xiao smiled nonchalantly, "Really? Didn't the boss's ancestors catch monsters?"

In fact, when asked this question, Xiao Xiao was really interested.

Since this cage has been passed down to this day under the name of the demon-catching cage, there must be some reason for it.

Besides, this is really a demon-catching cage.

However, it seems that the stall owner did not realize this fact.

So, was Yin Zi’s capture just an accident?

Xiao Xiao looked at the stall owner with an interested smile, his thoughts flowing endlessly in his eyes.

"D-Hey, wait."

The stall owner was about to blurt out the answer when he suddenly thought of something. He frowned and said hesitantly, "It seems like there was?"

"My grandfather seemed to have told me that our ancestors' family was once plagued by demons. When the family was about to be destroyed, they were saved by a passing expert."

"Finally, before leaving, the master gave our family this demon-catching cage."

"Our ancestors have passed it down as a family heirloom."

……

"But, no matter how you think about it, it seems like a story, right? The idea of ​​a master is too far-fetched."

The stall owner had no intention of taking the legend seriously at all.

He felt that his ancestors must have exaggerated.

The ancients were superstitious and would associate any unusual things with monsters and spirits. This treasure happened to have the effect of protecting peace, so our ancestors believed that this treasure caught the monster that was causing trouble, so it brought peace to the family.

As for the so-called experts, I am afraid that they were added by later generations in order to make this statement more reasonable.

The legend, which has been embellished and made more coherent, has been firmly believed by later generations.

However, things are different now than before. In fact, even his father doesn’t quite believe it. He only pretends to firmly believe in this saying passed down from his ancestors just to please his grandfather.

Just think of it as coaxing an old man.

His father once told him so.

After he was completely disappointed with the so-called heirloom, he could not help but show some disdain for the so-called heirloom in his subsequent words. In addition, he had done a lot of stupid things because of the heirloom, which made him even more contemptuous and dissatisfied with the heirloom as if to vent his anger.

Because of this, he had angered his grandfather more than once.

Dad said this to him helplessly after beating him up several times but finding little effect.
