Chapter 247 Black-Hearted Lotus Junior Brother 15

Xu Qiuqiu was puzzled. "What do you mean? A-Fan's identity? Isn't he an inner disciple of Xuantian Sect? Does he have another identity?"

003: "The second male lead is actually a fox demon."

"Ah-Fan is a fox demon?" Xu Qiuqiu was shocked once again.

"That's right."

Xu Qiuqiu looked down at Mo Chen, who was lying unconscious on the stone bed. His black hair was disheveled, and his face was somewhat pale, but his thin lips were even more red, adding to his sickly beauty and making him especially pitiful.

She reached out and gently touched his face, but before she could pull her hand back, he grabbed it, startling her.

The boy lying on the stone bed opened his eyes; his eyes were as black as obsidian, gleaming with a dangerous light.

"It's you again." Mo Chen's voice was somewhat cold.

Xu Qiuqiu was a little confused. What did that sentence mean?

Could it be that the original personality has returned?

She asked tentatively, "Junior brother, do you still remember Senior Ling Yue?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Mo Chen released her hand with a look of disgust and turned to observe the surroundings.

In an unfamiliar place, another piece of memory was missing, so another version of him emerged?

His old injury was throbbing painfully, but he didn't want to be with strangers for even a moment longer.

He suddenly stood up and walked out of the cave.

"Junior brother, where are you going?" Xu Qiuqiu grabbed his hand and noticed that his palm was trembling slightly.

Mo Chen abruptly shook off her hand, his tone icy, "This is none of your business, don't touch me."

The warmth of her hand still lingered in his palm, a warmth he cherished, yet he also loathed himself for still craving it.

Xu Qiuqiu stood there, feeling a surge of sadness. It was the first time he had ever spoken to her with such disdain.

She suddenly lost the courage to chase after him and could only watch him disappear from sight.

003 suddenly spoke up: "Host, why don't you go after them!"

Xu Qiuqiu felt a pang of disappointment. "This personality of A-Fen seems to really hate me. She almost killed me the first time we met, and now she seems to hate me even more..."

003 quickly said, "Host, believe me, this personality is much easier to win over than the alternate personality. He doesn't have that many schemes, and aside from being a bit cold, he wouldn't think about killing. If you had met the alternate personality the first time, you might really be dead."

That day, the alternate personality had committed murder. He hated the smell of blood, so he bathed in the spiritual spring. Then the primary personality suddenly woke up, smelled the blood, and understood what had happened. Even though the primary personality suspected the host had seen something, he didn't intend to take action.

Xu Qiuqiu calmed down, "So you mean the dominant personality stage is the easiest to win over?"

003 said with certainty, "Anyway, it's simpler than the alternate personality."

It felt that the alternate personality had completely turned to darkness, while the primary personality still had some kindness and longed for warmth. No matter how you looked at it, the primary personality was easier to win over.

As night fell, countless eerie blue lights floated in the air above the forest, exuding a mysterious beauty.

Following 003's instructions, Xu Qiuqiu found Mo Chen, who had fainted by the stream.

She painstakingly brought him back to the cave, lit a fire, and then sat down in front of the stone bed to look at him.

Remembering the scars on his body, driven by curiosity, she secretly pulled open his sleeve.

Even after looking at it again, it's still shocking. Countless long and grotesque scars resemble a centipede winding its way forward, inspiring fear in the viewer.

Her nose tingled and her eyes felt hot as she read it.

When Mo Chen woke up, he found himself back in the cave, and felt inexplicably irritated.

Turning her head and seeing Xu Qiuqiu's tearful eyes, her negative emotions instantly subsided, but she still retorted, "Why is it you again?"

"Junior brother, you're injured. Please wait until you've recovered before you leave, okay?" Xu Qiuqiu coaxed gently.

"What exactly do you want?" Mo Yan's eyes were full of wariness.

“Junior brother, we entered the secret realm together. It’s my duty to take care of you since you’re injured,” Xu Qiuqiu said kindly.

Mo Chen stared into her eyes, which were clear and inexplicably convincing.

He never interacted with people, but when he saw the look in her eyes, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Whatever." He turned his head, leaving her with his back to him.

Xu Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that 003 was right; the main personality was indeed much easier to talk to.

It was precisely because of her aloof personality that she didn't know how to approach her.

Mo Chen stood with his back to her, his mind in turmoil. He had never been cared for before…

Just as he was lost in thought, a blanket was placed on top of him. He opened his eyes and saw the girl's hand, which was still outstretched.

Seeing him open his eyes, Xu Qiuqiu stopped what she was doing and asked with concern, "Junior brother, did I wake you up?"

"What exactly is your purpose?" Mo Chen was annoyed by her. He didn't like this kind of inexplicable concern, which made him feel at a loss. Besides, they weren't even from the same clan.

His eyes were wary, alert, and also revealed a hint of confusion.

They were on high alert, as if getting too close to him would result in serious injury.

Xu Qiuqiu looked at him tenderly, "I have no ulterior motives, I just simply like you."

She felt that the main personality was cold and aloof, and if she didn't take the initiative, they might drag things out for a long time without making any progress. So she chose to take the initiative to offer warmth and express her feelings.

Mo Chen looked shocked. "What...did you say?"

Xu Qiuqiu smiled faintly at him, "A-Fen, I like you."

Her smile was like the most beautiful spring sunshine, an indescribable display of vibrant beauty, breathtakingly gorgeous.

After a moment of stunned silence, Mo Chen retorted without hesitation, "Do you know who I am? Just tell me—"

Xu Qiuqiu interrupted him, "I know, A-Fen, I know everything. No matter what you are, I like you."

Her voice was soft, but it struck Mo Chen's heart like a heavy blow, making his already wavering mind even more chaotic.

Xu Qiuqiu tucked the blanket around him and said softly, "A-Fan, how about we start as friends?"

A warm current surged through Mo Chen's heart, and his heart began to pound wildly. He inexplicably wanted to accept her and imagined snuggling in her arms.

He extinguished his own thoughts; the unfamiliar territory filled him with dread.

He feigned composure and said, "I don't need any friends."

Hearing the rejection, Xu Qiuqiu wasn't surprised at all. She smiled at him and said, "How about I be A-Fen's first friend?"

Mo Chen lowered his eyes. Her eyes were beautiful, more beautiful than any gemstone he had ever seen, making him want to believe in her.

Unable to bring himself to say no, he could only remain silent.

He should have been alert, but due to his weakened state, he unknowingly fell asleep.

In his dream, he returned to the deep forest, to the cold fox den, where he heard all sorts of mocking voices.

"A demon who has cultivated for hundreds of years can't even maintain human form. Look at him, he can't even retract his tail!"

"Yes, it's a disgrace to our demon race to say it out loud!"

"You're shameless! How can you still stay in the deep forest?"
