Su Yi spoke up again very seriously, daring to make a request for the first time: "Wange... I don't want to learn to read anymore, and I don't want to learn to use magic."

I don't want to learn to read anymore, and I don't want to know those things. I always feel that if I know some things, I will be further away from you. I don't want that. I just want to stay by your side, even if I don't understand anything.

"Okay." Wan Ge gently patted his head again. He had said that he could do anything he wanted.

Wan Ge had always wanted to teach him to read, but she wanted him to find out the truth on his own, because she felt he deserved to know the truth.

But since he chose to escape and didn't want to face it, Wan Ge was willing to accept it, even if it would leave some trace in his heart.

A female demon emerged, somewhat surprised by the scene, but dared not utter a word. She simply lowered her head and said what she should have said: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. Please take a bath."

When Wan Ge followed the female demon, Su Yi also followed beside her. His Majesty never likes to be disturbed when he is bathing, so is it inappropriate for the young master to follow along like this?

The demon race doesn't place much importance on matters between men and women; dual cultivation is very common, and many cases involve mutual consent. Therefore, the female demon is worried about whether His Majesty will be unhappy, not whether Su Yi will see something he shouldn't.

…

After all the female demons had left, only Wan Ge and Su Yi remained by the bath.

When Wan Ge fell into the water, she reverted to her original form. A moment later, when she came up, she transformed into a half-demon. This was the first time Su Yi had ever seen the half-demon's master.

All the demon kings throughout history have been of the snake race, but few have seen their true forms. However, Su Yi did.

Its bright red tail gently brushed the surface of the water, and the texture of its scales was exceptionally fine. From a distance, someone who didn't know better might mistake it for a mermaid.

Wan Ge turned to look at Su Yi on the shore: "Want to take a bath together?"

Su Yi obediently fell into the water. Wan Ge looked at the clothes he was wearing, her fingertips touching his collar, and helped him take off his clothes.

However, when Wan Ge saw the marks on the other person's body, her mood immediately darkened.

The whip the original owner used to lash him was made of a special material, possessing exceptional strength. It was extremely painful when it struck him, leaving marks even on demons. This was even more true for Su Yi, who lacked magical power at the time.

Su Yi seemed unaware of Wan Ge's change in mood, and simply hugged her carefully, as if he wanted to experience that feeling of being very close to her.

But this time it felt different. Besides wanting to hear her heartbeat, Su Yi felt something strange about his body.

Su Yi felt an unnatural urge to move around. The feeling that was burning inside him was something he had only experienced as an adult, but he had endured those days on his own.

"Su Yi, don't move!" Wan Ge seemed to already know what the little fox wanted.

Perhaps they shouldn't bathe together; one is a snake, the other a fox. Bathing together like that would lead to a terrible mistake.

Su Yi didn't move at that moment. He really wanted to listen to his master, and he wanted to do whatever his master said, but...

Su Yi couldn't help himself and kept moving and rubbing against things.

…

…

When Wan Ge woke up in her bed, there was no little fox beside her. She got up and saw Su Yi curled up on the floor.

The other party transformed back into its nine-tailed fox form and quietly curled up on the floor.

When Wan Ge picked him up, he transformed back into his half-demon form.
