Nan Xian debuted at twenty and became an overnight sensation. At twenty-three, at the peak of her career, she married He Mingxiao. Who knew that on their wedding night, Nan Xian would receive a con...
Lanxing combined the talents and strengths of both his parents; he could weave water into cloth and manipulate water flow to complete some highly difficult tasks.
At the same time, due to his lineage, he is also an ambassador for non-human communication between China and foreign countries, and his position in the Special Administration Bureau is highly respected.
He was busy with work, so after chatting with Nan Xian for a few minutes, he said goodbye and left her a business card before he left, inviting her to visit the China Elf Museum anytime.
Nan Xian readily agreed, saw him off, and then wandered around the different floors of the hospital.
Most demons cannot maintain their complete human form when they are sick or injured. In severe cases, they can only move in their original form. Therefore, it is common to see human-faced creatures with horns or tails. Nan Xian has adapted very quickly, from being surprised and curious when she first saw them to being calm and composed now.
These demons were not hostile to her, a human. On the contrary, they were very enthusiastic. Several wolf demons from other floors would stroll around her ward every day, peeking at her from time to time. But every time they made eye contact with her, they would immediately blush and run away with their tails between their legs, leaving Nan Xian both amused and exasperated.
Nan Xian also became friends with the little hedgehog demon with a broken tail in the next ward.
The little hedgehog demon is named Wei Yuan, and his nickname is Yuan Yuan.
He just turned one hundred years old this year, a rare age among humans, even worthy of being publicized in newspapers. But among demons, he is still just a child, and in human form, he only looks like a six or seven-year-old.
Fairies like Yuanyuan are born by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate and grow. They have never done anything evil, so their souls are naturally pure. Therefore, the human form they cultivate is also lively and cute. Their soft little faces are white with a rosy glow, like freshly baked osmanthus cakes. When they smile, a pair of cute little dimples appear on their cheeks, making Nanxian unable to resist their cuteness.
Yuanyuan's older sister is an adult hedgehog demon with a very special skill—she can conjure apples!
Nan Xian was initially skeptical when she first heard this, until she saw her transform back into her original form in a flash, shake her body, and her back was instantly covered with small apples, round, red, and sweet-looking.
Nan Xian was stunned again, then clapped her hands vigorously: "...Amazing!"
Even at a young age, Yuanyuan was obsessed with looks. In the entire hospital, he liked Nanxian, the pretty new older sister, the most. So every day, he would pick apples from her back. Once he had a bag full, he would sneak out of the ward when the nurses weren't looking, leaving all the apples on Nanxian's bed. Then, he would shyly put his hands behind his back, look up at her, and ask for a kiss, smiling innocently and adorably.
When Nan Xian was discharged from the hospital, he clung tightly to her leg, not wanting her to leave, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face. The doctors and nurses watched the whole thing and laughed so hard they almost fell over.
Yuanyuan stopped crying only after Nanxian repeatedly assured him that she would come to play with him after finishing her work. She grabbed her sister's clothes and waved goodbye to Nanxian while sobbing.
Escorted by Situ Ting, Nan Xian left the Realm of Reflection. Looking at the empty house, she was slightly stunned, and for some reason felt a sense of loss.
Although she only stayed in the Realm of Reflection for two days, those two days were arguably the happiest and most carefree time she had experienced in the six months since her rebirth.
Every minute she spent with those adorable fairies made her feel incredibly warm, just like a wanderer who had been away from home for a long time suddenly encountering relatives from their hometown, and feeling naturally close to them.
