Kong Wang's face flushed red, and she abruptly stood up straight and turned her back.

"You, you should get up quickly, the water's getting cold, you'll catch a cold soon."

Bai Lingyu was startled awake by his voice and slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing his shy and nervous expression, a smile appeared on her lips, and she couldn't help but feel a little tempted to tease him.

"Really? It seems you care about me a lot."

The next second.

She got up from the pool, and the water splashed down.

Kongwang wanted to plug his ears to stop himself from imagining the scene before him, and he started to move his legs, wanting to leave.

“Little Master, you’re still the same as before, you don’t remember anything at all.”

Suddenly, a soft body pressed against his back, and a fair, slender hand wrapped around him, caressing his warm, burning chest.

He lifted the monk's robe, which was no longer white and was now stained with the marks of time and frost.

"What do you want to do? We've already made a mistake once, we can't make the same mistake twice!" Kong Wang's body tensed instantly.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Bai Lingyu chuckled and released him. "I'm not that stupid. I'd rather be a noble consort than hang out with a poor monk like you."

She lifted her clothes, put them on one by one, picked up the tattered umbrella in the corner, opened it, walked past him, and went outside.

"I'm going back to the palace first. You stay here and don't go anywhere. The kitchen is still usable. I see there's half a bag of rice and flour in the cupboard. There are also wild vegetables planted in the backyard."

"Remember. Don't go anywhere. I'll come find you again tonight."

Bai Lingyu turned around and gave him a gentle smile.

The figure holding the oil-paper umbrella gradually walked away into the distance, while a stray cat hurriedly ran to take shelter from the rain under the flowers by the roadside.

Upon seeing this, Bai Lingyu squatted down, patted its head, and left the tattered oil-paper umbrella beside it.

Kong Wang stared blankly at this scene, then clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha."

At that moment,

In his eyes, Bai Lingyu seemed to radiate light.

It turns out that sometimes, people aren't necessarily human, and demons aren't necessarily inherently evil.
