I'm Really Not the Demon God's Lackey Chapter 41: The Farmer And The Viper

6.30 a.m. Lin Jie opened his eyes at the sound of his alarm clock ringing and began an ordinary day as per usual.

It was the same routine every day for three years. Waking up, changing, washing up.

"Somehow it increasingly seems like something isn't quite right..." Lin Jie couldn't help ridiculing himself in the mirror.

From other unofficial historical accounts, it was said that Laozi also had forty teeth.

Forty teeth symbolized a 'perfect person'.

Naturally an academic special
