Instead of trying to guess what the two were thinking, Bin'e continued her narration.
"I brought him out of the deep mountains and wandered around, enduring countless hardships to raise him from a kitten to his current size! I am also following the laws to gain experience, so I hope you will not take me in!"
Qin Luo suddenly felt a surge of rage, realizing he was the villain who had destroyed the bond between a mother and her child…
She stepped forward and helped Bin'e up.
"We didn't come to take you away. We didn't know that before and thought you were here to steal life force for cultivation!"
Bin'e shook her head and hands rapidly.
"No, no, I could never sacrifice human beings to aid my cultivation; I wouldn't survive the tribulation!"
Qin Luo didn't think she was the kind of wicked demon who deserved no redemption, so she casually asked the question she wanted to ask.
"Um, are you and that man now referring to each other as mother and son?"
Bin'e shook her head.
"No, he always calls me 'elder sister.' I told him the truth when he was a child, without hiding anything. After all, it's his own life, and he should make his own decisions. I can't deceive him just because I saved him!"
"Does he know you're a demon? Has your appearance always been like this?"
Upon hearing this, Bin'e shook her head again.
"He didn't know I was a demon. I only told him that I had cultivated Taoist arts for several years, and that my appearance changed according to the years I had practiced!"
"You're quite thoughtful. Do you plan to continue living like this?"
Upon hearing this, Bin'e fell into deep thought.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wu Hua asked, "What trouble have you encountered?"
A tear rolled down Bin'e's cheek.
"I'm a woman raising Rui'er alone, and my magic has been sealed. We're constantly harassed, so we have to move around a lot. Since then, Rui'er has asked me to teach him martial arts, but now that he's getting older, I'm thinking of leaving after I've helped him find a wife..."
Qin Luo felt increasingly uneasy as she listened. Connecting this to the earlier smile Bin'e had given the boy, alarm bells rang in her mind.
"You haven't fallen in love with him, have you?!"
Even Bin'e herself couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know, but I can feel that he loves me. Every time someone comes to propose to me, he flies into a rage and drives them away..."
So you're worried that he'll fall in love with you?
Upon hearing this, Bin'e nodded slightly.
"I don't know if I love him. I only think about helping him get married and have children, then returning to the demon realm and never seeing him again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard gate was pushed open.
"Is my sister going to abandon me? Then why did she take me in in the first place? She could have just left me to die in the jaws of wolves and tigers!"
Bin'e didn't expect him to come, and Qin Luo and Wu Hua were even more surprised.
After the man approached, he politely greeted Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
"My name is Mingrui. May I ask who you two are?"
Qin Luo and Wu Hua each introduced themselves to him.
"Qin Luo!"
"Qin Wuhua!"
"We're old acquaintances of your older sister, just catching up!"
Wu Hua chimed in, "That's right!"
Mingrui looked at the two with suspicion, then turned his gaze to Bin'e.
"Sister, what they said is true. Tell them the truth and don't be afraid. Rui'er can protect you!"
Bin'e gave him a reproachful look, her expression both gentle and charming.
"I taught you those skills, so you don't need to protect them. They are indeed my friends, but they just happened to be passing by and stopped by to see me. Why are you so nervous? You just ran over like that, what will happen to the shop?"
When Mingrui saw her gaze, he immediately lowered his head shyly.
"I asked the old man next door to keep an eye on things for me, so it won't interfere with business!"
"I didn't mean to blame you. Go back first, and I'll tell you more later!"
Mingrui was somewhat reluctant upon hearing this, but fearing he might displease Bin'e, he could only leave, turning back every few steps.
Only after he had completely disappeared from sight did Qin Luo look towards Bin'e.
"I also think he likes you, and you're probably not going to be able to leave!"
Bin'e's mind was also in turmoil; she had no idea what was going on in her heart.
"But we are ultimately destined to be different, human and demon..."
Seeing her distressed state, Wu Hua offered a few words of comfort.
"You should figure out your own thoughts first! Once you're sure you love her, then think about staying or leaving. But once you're entangled in the karma of this mortal world, thousands of years of cultivation will be ruined in an instant. You'd better think carefully..."
In truth, Wu Hua still hoped it would leave.
After all, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing; what if Mingrui changes his mind one day?
No one can guarantee that Bin'e won't go mad; if that happens, it will be the millions of people in this city who suffer.
Qin Luo sensed Wu Hua's emotions and picked it up.
Then he looked at Bin'e.
"I don't know if demons are good or bad, but humans can't stay the same forever. We will respect your choice, but whether you're human or demon, you can't have it all!"
After saying that, he picked up Wu Hua and left, leaving only the demon Bin'e standing there.
Bin'e didn't know what to do; whether she left or stayed, she would pay a heavy price!
Just as Wu Hua said, it didn't understand its own thoughts at all...
Qin Luo carried Wu Hua out of the house and headed straight for the largest restaurant in Zhuan County.
She knew that Wu Hua was not only unhappy, but also full of worries.
I worry about the people in this city, and I worry about the demonic life of Bin'e.
Its little head drooped on its chest, and it didn't say a word, which broke her heart.
Wu Hua remained silent until she reached the entrance of the restaurant.
The irresistible aroma of the food brought Wu Hua back to her senses.
It looked up at the plaque in front of it, which read: "Shiweitang" in three large characters.
"Luo Luo, aren't we going to the inn?"
Qin Luo carried it straight into the restaurant.
