"Alright, the story begins on a day called the Lantern Festival. There was a man named Gu Liufang who fell in love at first sight with Zixuan, a descendant of Nuwa, just by glancing at her in the crowd..." Chi Musheng leaned back in his chair, gazing at the setting sun as he slowly recounted this regrettable love story spanning three lifetimes.
"Clatter"
"Clatter"
Tu Shan Rongrong turned her back, tears streaming down her face like raindrops onto the floor. This story was far more touching than the reincarnation of Tu Shan, or perhaps it was more vividly told by Chi Musheng.
Is Zixuan a demon?
“Yes and no, you can also consider her a snake demon,” Chi Musheng said in a deep voice.
Nuwa's descendants are the mother of the earth, but from a human perspective, the human-headed, snake-bodied creatures can be considered demons in a certain sense.
Because humans are always the creatures who view the world with the most prejudice.
"Chi Musheng, do you think there's no future for humans and demons?" Tu Shan Rongrong asked, her voice slightly choked with sobs.
Having witnessed countless reincarnations and continuations of destinies, she had never seen a single demon leave the Bitter Love Tree with a smile, nor had she ever returned with a smile.
Sometimes she even wonders if the existence of the method of reincarnation to continue one's destiny is truly meaningful.
Was it all just to give those demons a vague and uncertain hope?
"The end? Before life comes to an end, who can know their own end? But the end of a human's life is just a period of time in a demon's life," Chi Musheng said, catching a leaf that was about to wither.
The so-called reincarnation and continuation of fate in Tushan is nothing more than letting demons wait for someone who is no longer themselves, life after life.
How could there possibly be an ending? At most, there would be a period of happiness, just memories.
Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Rongrong felt her heart clench. The thought of never seeing Chi Musheng again brought a sense of suffocation to her.
For a moment, there was an absolute silence between them, so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.
Chi Musheng turned to Tu Shan Rongrong and said, "Third Miss, the sun is about to set. Are you still going to stay here? If you don't go back to work soon..."
The remaining few words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say them. Tu Shan Rongrong seemed to be crying.
Did she cry because of her own words?
"Yes, it's time to go to work, but there seems to be a lot of work left. Chi Musheng, would you like to?" Tu Shan Rongrong hadn't finished speaking.
Chi Musheng replied directly, "No."
What do you want? You still have to spend time with your sister later. You should keep your distance from the demons you've already slept with.
"Okay," Tu Shan Rongrong forced a smile, took a step and turned to leave. Each step quickened, yet slowed down a couple of steps at a time, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Chi Musheng looked down at the small puddle of tears on the ground, reached out a finger to touch it, and then put it in his mouth.
A faint salty taste spread in my mouth, like seawater with a hint of bitterness. So this is what tears are.
He, who had never cried since childhood, tasted tears for the first time.
Immediately, Chi Musheng took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped away the tears on the ground, closed the door, and went home.
Including the one hundred taels given by Tu Shan Rongrong, Chi Musheng earned a total of five hundred taels, a very considerable income.
He would have liked to play a few more pieces if he wasn't afraid the audience would cry themselves to sleep.
Xiao Bai stood blocking the entrance to the bamboo house, glaring at Chi Musheng with obvious displeasure.
"Meow" (Stinky Sheng Sheng, what time is it? Are you trying to starve me to death?)
"Sorry, Xiaobai, I'm late," Chi Musheng patted Xiaobai's head and handed him the dried fish he had bought on the way.
"Meow" (You came back so late and you just gave me this to fool her, you stinky Sheng Sheng, I'm going to get angry)
Little White bared its sharp little claws, expressing its dissatisfaction to Chi Musheng.
"Eat this tonight, and I'll make you something delicious tomorrow," Chi Musheng said, stuffing the dried fish she bought on the way into Xiaobai's mouth.
She turned and walked to the riverbank, unfastening her blouse's belt, revealing her exquisite figure to Xiaobai. She slowly sank into the water.
Having learned from Tu Shan Rongrong's experience, Chi Musheng felt that he would only feel safe after taking a bath. The fox's keen sense of smell was too sharp to be easily discovered.
Tu Shan Hong Hong's fists are unreasonable; last night, Xiao Qiang Qiang didn't say a word, yet she was punched and a hole was punched in him.
The little white fish on the shore was drooling, and even forgot to hold onto the dried fish, which fell out of its mouth.
Chou Shengsheng's figure is still as good as ever. Knowing that the other person is unhappy, she even performs a show to cheer them up.
Other animals can't see clearly in the dark, but she's a cat, and a cat's vision isn't affected by the night.
In the pitch-black night, two bright green eyes, like light bulbs, shone brightly and pierced the darkness.
Xiao Bai stealthily approached Chi Musheng with cat-like steps, a meaningful smile on its face, and extended its soft little tongue to gently brush against Chi Musheng's ear.
The strange sensation sent a shiver down Chi Musheng's spine, making him go limp and nearly slip into the meter-deep water.
"noob!"
Once he realized what was happening, Chi Musheng said sternly.
"Meow!" Little White licked its paws and ran quickly back into the house, not giving Chi Musheng a chance to scold it.
As long as she runs fast enough, the insults can't catch her.
Chi Musheng was left standing in the water, his fists clenched and wet. Although Xiaobai was a cat, Chi Musheng had the feeling that he was being teased by a female hooligan, especially since it was a boy having his earlobe licked.
But the culprit was a cat, which gives a girl a sense of helplessness when she's being made a dirty joke.
Chi Musheng walked into the room wrapped in a bath towel and pressed down on the small bundle that was still throbbing under the covers. "Xiaobai, you did something wrong and you're hiding. Come out here."
"Meow" (She didn't do anything wrong; it's just how cats behave, so it's understandable that she made a mistake.)
Xiao Bai protested fiercely, refusing to leave the bed, but even without using her demonic power, she was still dragged out by Chi Musheng.
"Do you know you're wrong?" Chi Musheng asked, looking at Xiaobai whose arms she had pinned down.
He had to stop him and not let Xiaobai continue, otherwise he would discover Xiaobai's weakness.
Who would have thought that a boy could experience weakness in his body due to sensitive earlobes?
"Meow" (That's right, what did it do wrong? It just made a mistake that every kitten makes.)
Xiao Bai turned her head away defiantly, avoiding eye contact with Chi Musheng, though she was actually feeling guilty.
When Xiaobai saw that Chi Musheng was only wearing a bath towel, it laughed unkindly, stretched out its long cat legs, revealed its claws, hooked the bath towel, and gently pulled it.
The air fell silent. Chi Musheng released his grip and glared at Xiaobai with hostility, but since Xiaobai was ultimately his sugar daddy, he couldn't hit him. He could only helplessly go to the closet to get dressed.
As for Xiaobai, it covered its eyes with its two paws, leaving a large gap, looking quite like someone trying to cover their ears while stealing a bell.
Chi Musheng took out a black robe from the wardrobe, put it on, and tied a sturdy belt around his waist, making a tight knot to prevent the cat from tearing off his clothes.
Seeing how tightly the belt was tied, Xiaobai complained.
"Meow" (You stinky Sheng Sheng, don't we even have this much trust between us? You have to be wary of even a cute little cat.)
