People are not allowed to harass Mimi!

The tip of the dagger sliced ​​through Shu Yi's skin, revealing beads of bright red blood. If it went in just a little further, it could plunge the dagger into Shu Yi's throat and take her life without any distraction.

Why didn't you hide?

Why hide?

"But you are a demon."

"Because it's you, I won't hide. I know you won't hurt me."

Shu Yi's confident tone made Shen Zhizhou frown. His handsome face wrinkled up like an old man's, as if he couldn't quite understand why the monster in front of him believed in him so much.

Their eyes met. The boy's eyes were filled with confusion and deep wariness. The girl, pinned down and choked by the boy, had eyes as clear as a washed blue sky, filled with an indescribable heartache. The boy turned his face slightly away. He hated the pitying looks from others after his mother's death.

Shuyi gently stroked Shen Zhizhou's cheek, a tear unconsciously sliding down her cheek: "Shen Zhizhou, the magnolias are about to bloom, shall we go see them together?"

I don't ask you to inherit the family name, and I don't care whether your magic is good or bad. I just want to stay with you... I just want to stay with you and see the blooming magnolias that your mother planted together, okay?

Shen Zhizhou suddenly heard the inner voice of the monster before him and stared at her in shock. His trembling lips betrayed his disbelief: "What...did you say? Say it again."

“Shen Zhizhou, you can hear the thoughts of monsters, so I don’t need to repeat myself.”

The monster's inner voice? No... no, he can't hear it. No, if he can't hear it, then what did he just hear? Shen Zhizhou was lost in confusion.

"Shen Zhizhou, wake up! You have to wake up! Let's leave this place together! I'll take you away!" Shu Yi looked at Shen Zhizhou, who was grabbing his hair and seemed to be going crazy, grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him towards her, making him look into her eyes.

The boy looked into the monster's eyes, which were like those of a child, but his gaze was firm as he said, word by word, "Shen Zhizhou, wake up! We'll face this together. Whether it's the murderer who killed your mother or the monster that's causing trouble, we'll be together!"

As long as we are together, no matter how many hardships and difficulties lie ahead, we will face them together.

Shen Zhizhou looked into Shu Yi's eyes and shouted "No!" He pushed Shu Yi away. The scene around him changed again, and Shen Zhizhou was dragged backward as if he were being pulled. Shu Yi reached out to grab Shen Zhizhou, but the surrounding scenery disappeared and spun like clouds and smoke, finally returning to chaos and darkness.

Shuyi was plunged back into the darkness she had just experienced. All around her was a thick, viscous black fog. In this darkness, Shuyi felt her five senses gradually weakening. Her proud hearing and sense of smell were now completely deactivated.

A tightness gripped her chest, and Shu Yi coughed up a mouthful of blood, collapsing weakly to the ground. She gasped for breath, her lungs feeling suffocated. She had been in the nightmare for too long; if she didn't get out soon, she would truly die here.

Shuyi knew that she had just awakened a part of Shen Zhizhou's spiritual power, but the pain of losing her mother made Shen Zhizhou instinctively reject all outsiders who rashly entered the nightmare. She was sent back to the entrance, which meant that Shen Zhizhou wanted to force her back. But she could not find Shen Zhizhou. Shuyi would never leave alone. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to start groping forward to find Shen Zhizhou.

...

Luo Yingcao was still a little worried about Shuyi, so she thought that she and Aunt Goat would go and persuade her, which would be better than leaving her alone in the room to overthink. But she didn't expect to see Shuyi lying in front of Shen Zhizhou's bed when she opened the door, their palms clasped together with blood on them.

Aunt Goat knew at a glance that Shuyi had used forbidden magic. She told Luo Yingcao to stay where she was and take good care of Shen Zhizhou and Shuyi's bodies, while she went to find other monsters to help.

"Help! Help! That girl Shuyi secretly used a forbidden technique, and she looks like she's about to die. Someone, please lend a hand!"

After hearing this, the demons gathered around Aunt Goat, asking her all sorts of questions about what had happened. But Aunt Goat didn't have time to explain; she just pulled the demons over to help her.

The demons arrived at the door and peeked into the room where a human and a demon were fast asleep. They were all moved and shocked that Shuyi dared to use all her demonic power and cultivation just to wake Shen Zhizhou from his nightmare. Even Sheyang, who was following at the back, couldn't help but sigh and look deep in thought.

He Yong took the lead: "Boss Shen has treated me well, so today I'll sacrifice my cultivation to repay this kindness..."

Watching He Yong transfer his demonic power to the human and demon on the bed, the demons looked at each other, but in the end, they didn't want to stay out of it and spontaneously stepped forward to help with their own demonic power.

In the nightmare, Shuyi stumbled along, falling every few steps, when suddenly the thick, inky blackness around her began to gradually thin, revealing a sliver of light.

Suddenly, tears streamed down Shuyi's face. She knew that the monsters she had helped were repaying her kindness in their own way. A crystal-clear tear landed on the ground, and instantly a burst of light spread out. Shuyi ran forward with all her might.

Shen Zhizhou, wait for me... I will find you no matter where you are!

When she found Shen Zhizhou, he was fast asleep in the sea of ​​flowers, quietly leaning against his mother's magnolia tree. Shuyi slowly walked over, then transformed into her original form and jumped into Shen Zhizhou's arms, climbed onto Shen Zhizhou's neck, and leaned against Shen Zhizhou face to face, chattering away.

"The flower field is beautiful. I thought so when I saw it at your family's mountain villa. I wondered what kind of gentle and poetic person could cultivate such a beautiful flower field... I met her, she is so beautiful and gentle, Shen Zhizhou... You are just like your mother, seeing you is like seeing your mother's offspring..."

Shu Yi sniffed, calming herself down before speaking again: "So Shen Zhizhou, you promised your mother you would live well, you can't go back on your word. Everyone is doing their best, you can't let us down, I won't allow it!"

Shuyi's tiny paws clung to Shen Zhizhou, her tears smearing onto his face. The cold, heavy tears made Shen Zhizhou slowly open his eyes.

"You say it's not allowed and you just say it's not allowed? How arrogant you are, Miss Shuyi."

Shuyi stared blankly at Shen Zhizhou as he regained consciousness. Just as Shen Zhizhou was about to reach out and touch Shuyi, Shushu slapped him.

"Stop dawdling and get out of here! My physical body is still outside!"

Shuyi jolted awake with a thud, startling the demons who were channeling their demonic energy nearby. They swarmed around her, chattering, "Shuyi, are you alright? Is anything wrong with you?"

"No, no, I'm tough..." Shu Yi flipped over and sat on Shen Zhizhou, raising her hand high, ready to slap him.

When Shen Zhizhou opened his eyes, the hand stopped 0.01cm from his cheek, and instead gently stroked it: "Shen Zhizhou, you're awake! I'll get you something to eat~"

After saying that, Shuyi tried to run away, but Shen Zhizhou grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into his arms, his tone sinister: "Don't think I don't know, you want to take this opportunity to slap me to get revenge for me... hurting you."

"I……"

Shuyi was about to explain something when Sheyang, who couldn't stand it any longer, squeezed through the group of demons, took out his stethoscope, and said expressionlessly, "Can you guys stop flirting and let me check his body first... I'm afraid he has post-relationship syndrome."

It was only after a moment that Shen Zhizhou realized the room was crammed with monsters, and the monsters, upon meeting Shen Zhizhou's shocked gaze, awkwardly began to entertain themselves.

"Old He, look at this sky, it really is a sky, there are even stars."

"You know what, it really is, it's sparkly and pretty."

Sheyang pushed up his glasses, glanced at the monsters who were trying to make conversation to divert the awkwardness, and said, "Fool, those are streetlights that are turned on at night. You can't see stars in the concrete jungle of the 21st century."

The monsters were too embarrassed to stay any longer, so they laughed and scattered in all directions, leaving the space to the two people in a pink and ambiguous relationship.

During Shen Zhizhou's convalescence, thanks to Shu Yi's meticulous care and the various tonics given to him by the monsters, Shen Zhizhou recovered quickly and his body was mostly healed.

To distract Shen Zhizhou and give him something to do, Shu Yi suggested taking care of the last cat lady's job.

Shen Zhizhou peeled open the juicy navel orange, popped a segment into his mouth, and swallowed the rest whole. He slowly replied, "Okay, so what are you going to do with it?"

Miss Cat, with her elegant cat-like steps, jumped onto the desk, licked her fur, and let out a sweet meow. Shu Yi and Shen Zhizhou were immediately captivated and rushed forward to hug Miss Cat tightly, refusing to let go.

"Mouse, you're too close to the cat. The cat doesn't like it."

"Please refrain from hugging by members of the opposite sex. Please be mindful of distance and boundaries."

Miss Cat elegantly and reservedly refused Shu Yi and Shen Zhizhou's kisses and hugs, putting on an aloof and unapproachable demeanor, but in reality, her tail was already wagging high.

"No matter what kind of creature it is, it will fall for me. That's my charm, I know that." Miss Cat thought to herself with a touch of pride, and couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up for her charm.

Listening to Miss Cat's inner thoughts, Shen Zhizhou stroked his chin and squinted his eyes, thinking, "Since Miss Cat is so self-aware of her own charm... why not send her to work at a cat cafe!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Cat jumped up and refused: "I won't go! I don't want to be defiled by shallow humans holding me in their arms! It's an insult to my noble and beautiful self, and I won't allow it!"

"So, what does Miss Cat want to do?" Shuyi asked Miss Cat about her thoughts on work.

Miss Cat tilted her head and thought for a moment. Her pure white fur and heterochromatic eyes made Shu Yi unable to resist burying her face in Miss Cat's chest and sucking hard.

"So this is what it feels like to pet a cat..." Shuyi covered her face and smiled happily after being given a paw pad by the cat for harassment.

Seeing that Shen Zhizhou wanted to follow suit, Miss Cat bristled and jumped high up to warn him: "Human, don't think I don't know what you're up to. I have my pride!"

"Would Miss Cat like to become a therapist?" Seeing the puzzled look in Miss Cat's eyes, Shen Zhizhou got up and quietly approached to explain, "It's about providing targeted assistance to people with emotional wounds to relieve their life's pressures and rescue their weary souls... something like that."

Shen Zhizhou held the cat in his arms, rubbing his cheek against the cat's soft fur. On the surface, he was demonstrating, but in reality, he was using the excuse of public duty to vigorously pet the cat.

Miss Cat comfortably squinted her eyes and thought, "This seems like a pretty good job."
