At night, the Demon Locking Tower.
Ning Wan slept soundly, and when she woke up, she saw the tower demon lying on the stone table again.
After seeing Ning Wan wake up, he did not move forward as usual.
Ning Wan didn't think much about it, she just got out of bed, picked up the tinder, picked up two candles, and lit them.
The hot wax dripped onto the table, one drop, two drops, and Ning Wan quickly placed the bottom of the candle on it.
The wax solidified and the candle stood steadily on the table.
But the candlelight was not very bright, even dim yellow, barely illuminating the table in front of him.
The cabinet door that Ning Wan had originally closed was opened again.
Ning Wan found a blanket in the cabinet, folded it a few times, and placed it on the stone chair.
After sitting down, Ning Wan picked up another book from the cabinet beside her, returned to the table, supported her chin with one hand, and read with interest.
Her little face turns red from time to time.
The tower monster lying on the stone table had a book under it.
Unlike Ning Wan, it is impossible to tell whether the tower monster’s face will turn red or not, but its body, which is sometimes round and sometimes deflated, reveals its emotions without a doubt.
Ning Wan didn't ask any more questions.
Just the occasional page turn by the finger.
As I was watching, the candle wick suddenly began to shake.
Ning Wan frowned.
The next moment, there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
The fingers resting on the page froze.
[The host is the male protagonist.]
Xiaoqi reacted quickly.
Ning Wan closed the book in her hand almost instantly, not forgetting to fold a small corner as a mark, and then put it back on the bookshelf.
The tower demon beside him naturally also noticed Ning Wan's abnormality, and then he did the same thing as Ning Wan.
Ning Wan got into bed as quickly as possible, not even forgetting to blow out the candle.
As for the tower monster, it naturally squatted in the corner.
The slightly heavy footsteps came again.
Ning Wan huddled in the quilt, adjusting her breathing to avoid being discovered by Shen Jingyuan that she was pretending to be asleep.
Not long after.
Even without opening her eyes, Ning Wan could feel Shen Jingyuan stopping beside her bed.
But this time, there seemed to be a smell of...blood.
A hand moved towards her eyes.
Although Ning Wan had some doubts in her heart, she did not show it on the surface.
Shen Jingyuan suddenly stopped and turned to walk towards the stone table.
Ning Wan, who was pretending to be asleep, breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the next moment, Shen Jingyuan's finger landed exactly on the candle core.
The warm touch made Shen Jingyuan laugh out loud.
See, this is what happens when you don't tell the truth.
Even if he didn't hurt her, she would go to great lengths to avoid him.
Ning Wan didn't know she had been exposed at this moment, she was just waiting for Shen Jingyuan to leave on his own accord.
The room fell silent again.
The tower monster hiding in the corner was extremely regretful. Why didn't it know to hide in other rooms?
Although the four tables were pitch black, the tower monster, who was used to the darkness, would naturally not be restricted by the living environment.
What's more, the smell of blood on Shen Jingyuan's body made it known that he must have been seriously injured even without looking.
Shen Jingyuan sat on another stone chair.
The painful wounds on his body protested again and again, but Shen Jingyuan seemed to feel nothing and continued to sit steadily.
The bloodstains on the robe left Shen Jingyuan's body disobediently and hooked onto the stone chair again.
In a short while, the originally clean stone chair was covered with several bloodstains.
Perhaps it was too quiet. Ning Wan, who had wanted to get up and continue watching after the footsteps faded, actually felt a little sleepy again.
Ning Wan liked to sleep with her head buried in the quilt, so she yawned silently without any hesitation.
Shen Jingyuan looked at Ning Wan, who was not even pretending to sleep seriously, feeling a little helpless.
It was his fault. He thought he was protecting her by not telling her.
In fact, this is just eroding her trust in herself.
The name "Demon Locking Tower" is not nice after all, and he did restrict her freedom in the name of protection.
After figuring it out, Shen Jingyuan took the tinder on the table and lit the candle again.
I wanted to take this opportunity to see how the peach demon, who was pretending to be asleep, would react, so that I could take the opportunity to talk it out.
However, the weak flame could not even reach a few meters away.
The wax slid down the candle body on its own, forming fine lines on it.
Looking at the head of the bed which was still pitch black, Shen Jingyuan frowned unconsciously.
[Host... the male protagonist is injured.]
Looking at Shen Jingyuan who was staring at the candlelight in a daze, Xiao Qi hesitated for a while, but still spoke out.
It seems that the male protagonist asked Shen's father to leave the Demon Locking Tower not out of selfishness, but to prevent Shen's father's broken body from continuing to collapse.
After all, there is no spiritual power in the Demon Locking Tower, so it is not suitable for physical conditioning.
The reason why the host was locked in the tower was because they were afraid that other monster hunters outside would attack him.
After all, in the eyes of the male protagonist, the host is really weak.
And over the years, the male protagonist did not harm the host. Instead, he created a barrier and a protective shield.
Xiaoqi had his own understanding and expressed it.
Although the host always says that human emotions are complicated, in its opinion, they are nothing more than the lack of mouths.
"Is the injury serious?" Ning Wan's throat rolled subconsciously, and she grasped the key point of what Xiao Qi said.
But there was obviously more panic in his tone than worry.
Xiao Qi knew very well that the host was panicking because he was afraid that if the male protagonist died, his mission would be over, and he would be unable to leave the plane world.
And that worry was that if the male protagonist died, she would be left in the tower for the rest of her life.
[The male protagonist was seriously injured.]
Xiaoqi tells the truth.
The life and death of the male protagonist is very important, after all, there is still a key plot that has not yet been completed.
It would be a lie for Ning Wan to say that she wasn't touched.
But she thought that was Shen Jingyuan's compensation for what he thought he owed her.
Ning Wan couldn't remember when she first remembered it.
She didn't ask Xiao Qi about the extra memory in her mind, but just digested it silently.
But this did not change Ning Wan's feelings towards Shen Jingyuan much.
Ning Wan knew it very well.
When Yuan Shouyi wanted to destroy the tree, he also wanted to attack the Shen family father and son. At that time, Xiao Qi wanted to take her away directly. By chance, she blocked the attack for the Shen family father and son. Firstly, it was because of the kindness of Shen's mother, and secondly, the male protagonist could not die.
The reason why Shen Jingyuan protected her was probably just because she had saved his life.
The heartbeat value is seventy, but there may not be only one kind of liking.
In just one minute, Ning Wan's brain raced and she came to a conclusion.
After hearing the host's analysis, Xiao Qi sighed helplessly.
There may not be only one kind of liking, but what other kind of liking can there be between men and women that transcends the relationship of love?
