Later, it wasn't until Aunt Li, Uncle Zhang, and others repeatedly assured her that the person in the phone wouldn't come out, and then they all talked to her about many common sense facts about modern civilization, that Yi Yi finally began to understand.

In short, the cars, cell phones, refrigerators, air conditioners, and all the amazing things here that the demon race doesn't have are all great inventions of humankind. They're all high-tech.

Although she couldn't quite figure out how humans did these things, she could accept it nonetheless.

Mu Wenya woke up just before dinner time. It was Li Ma who was worried that she had slept too long, so she asked Yi Yi to wake her up herself.

"Miss, you've been sleeping longer and longer lately. Could it be that you're not feeling well? Should we go see a doctor?" Aunt Li asked with some concern.

Mu Wenya shook her head, looking exhausted after sleeping for so long. "No need, I don't want to keep going to the hospital. Anyway, with this illness, I won't live much longer."

"Miss, please don't say that, it hurts me to hear that." Li Ma's eyes instantly reddened. She had watched the young lady grow up since she was a child, and treated her like her own daughter. If it weren't for this strange illness, she would be living a life that everyone envied.

"What's there to be sad about? Everyone dies eventually, and besides, my heart died long ago." Mu Wenya stared blankly ahead, her face pale.

Yi reached out to wipe away Li Ma's tears, feeling a pang of sadness herself. She had heard the young lady's story—a story of heartbreak. But could there truly be such a feeling in the world, one that could make someone lose the will to live?

"Miss, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if it's right." After thinking for a moment, Yi Yi couldn't help but speak up.

"It's alright, go ahead and say it."

"Yi Yi feels that if you stay cooped up in this room all day, all you'll see are the four corners of this room. But if you go out, you'll see flowers and plants, ants moving house, early birds, and many, many things you can't even imagine." For example, if she had always lived in the jungle, she wouldn't have eaten delicious pancakes, wouldn't have met so many lovely people, and wouldn't have known that cell phones even exist in this world.

What are you trying to say?

"Yi Yi thinks that Miss should go out more, see more things, and meet more people. Can you imagine that besides humans, there is another kind of creature in the world that looks very similar to humans, but they have wings, pointed ears and noses, and their bodies are very light, so they can sleep on tree branches."

"Does such a creature really exist?" This is something I've never heard of or seen before.

Yi waved her hand, "That's not important. What's important is, how will you know if you don't go out?"

"But..." But she had been cooped up for too long and didn't want to go out anymore. The outside world was certainly colorful, but the person she wanted to see was no longer there.

"No, please. Oh right, I'm going to be participating in the boxing finals in a few days. If possible, I hope you can come and cheer me on in person!"

Yi Yi made an exaggerated gesture and looked at Mu Wenya with expectant eyes.

Mu Wenya lowered her head and thought for a while, then finally nodded, "Alright, I'll definitely go."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yi Yi was so happy she felt like she could fly away.

Li Ma couldn't help but give Yi Yi a thumbs up, "Yi Yi, you're amazing! You're so good at figuring things out!"
