The sun rises above the horizon, and the warm morning light envelops the earth.
Yan Ze was awakened by the dazzling light. He frowned slightly and raised his hand to try to block the strong light.
But I felt a tingling sensation in my arm, as if something heavy was pressing down on it, and I couldn't lift it at all.
What's going on?!
Yan Ze is a bit grumpy when he wakes up, but not many people know this because, given his status and position, no one would disturb him when he is resting.
Awakened by the bright light, Yan Ze was very dissatisfied. He found that his arm was inexplicably sore, and in an instant, an uncontrollable sense of irritation welled up in his heart.
He opened his eyes, trying to move the heavy object from his hands, and then he saw Luo Jiu sleeping on his arm.
Luo Jiu was beautiful; Yan Ze had always known that. It was a beauty that lay between innocence and allure. He had seen countless humans and fairies, but none could compare to Luo Jiu.
The dazzling morning light shone on her face, adding a touch of ethereal mystery to her already beautiful features.
She slightly parted her lips, and a few glistening drops of liquid slid down her cheeks. Soon, Yan Ze felt something wet and sticky…
This was simply unbearable; the goodwill I had initially felt towards her because of her appearance vanished instantly.
He reached out and pushed hard, and Luo Jiu, who was clinging to his arm, was thrown to the ground by the force.
"Bang!"
A loud bang—the sound of a head hitting the ground.
Yan Ze: "..."
"Who? Who attacked me?!"
Luo Jiu was woken up from her sleep and immediately jumped up from the spot in a fit of rage, like a monkey whose tail had been stepped on, able to jump several meters high.
When she opened her eyes, she met a pair of deep eyes, and the memories of last night instantly surfaced in Luo Jiu's mind.
An awkward atmosphere spread between the two.
"Cough... Master, you're awake."
Why are you here?
After a moment of silence, the two spoke at the same time. Their different voices, alternating, created an unusual harmony.
Yan Ze had only fainted last night; he hadn't lost his memory. So, the scenes from the pool last night quickly flooded back into his mind.
Seeing his ever-changing expression and his frighteningly dark face, Luo Jiu smiled awkwardly.
This is somewhat different from what she imagined...
Knowing that I went through all the trouble of carrying him here, shouldn't I be extremely grateful and give him some rare treasures as a reward?
"you……"
Before Yan Ze could finish speaking, an itch came from his chest, causing him to cough immediately.
Today, Yan Ze was dressed in white, his attire was exquisite, and he always had a cool and aloof feeling about him, like a celestial being who was unapproachable.
But at this moment, he braced himself on the bed with both hands, a faint blush rising on his handsome face, as if tainted by worldly affairs, making him even more irresistible.
"division……"
Luo Jiu met Yan Ze's gaze and awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Why are you being so fierce? You look like you're about to eat someone alive!
Once Yan Ze and the others had calmed down, they sat down on the foots of the bed.
"I'm fine now, you can go."
Luo Jiu: "..."
This guy looks just like a scumbag who'd eat your food and then deny it.
Luo Jiu bit her lip, her eyes glistening as she looked at Yan Ze, but the man remained unmoved, as if he were a stone statue.
"Well... I'm leaving."
Luo Jiu was halfway there when she felt that the script wasn't developing in the direction she had imagined, and she was a little confused.
She turned her head, her voice softening slightly, "Master, please take good care of yourself..."
Yan Ze: "..."
...
These past two days, Luo Jiu has been staying on the mountain and is practically getting moldy.
With no progress in winning over the male lead, I'll try approaching him from the side...
Does that mean I'm annoying?
Yan Ze is truly a very annoying man.
He dresses like a thousand-year-old demon from the demon realm every day, yet his temperament is like that of an emotionless machine, so unpredictable that even my stunning beauty cannot move him in the slightest...
How strange!
Luo Jiu tossed something high into the air, and then the red dried fruit fell precisely into her mouth.
The sweet and sour fruity flavor filled her taste buds, instantly attracting Luo Jiu's attention.
This is simply divine.
Luo Jiu walked with light steps, a satisfied smile on her face, like a little sun, radiating light that was hard to look away from.
Just then, a chill suddenly swept past her. When Luo Jiu opened her eyes again, the bag full of dried fruit in her hand had disappeared.
The one who stole the dried fruit was a boy with a long tail. His magic wasn't quite there yet, as he couldn't retract his ears and tail.
Seeing Luo Jiu looking at him, he stopped, smiled provocatively, and flicked the dried fruit in his hand.
Luo Jiu: "..."
That brat!
Without saying a word, she chased after him.
She went to great lengths to buy these dried fruits. She originally thought that joining some kind of cultivation sect would at least provide plenty of money, not to mention weapons and resources.
To my surprise, I didn't get a single penny of profit. The dried fruit I finally managed to get was stolen by this brat...
The two ran further and further astray, and by the time Luo Jiu caught up with the demon youth, they had already reached a deserted mountain village.
The area was overgrown with tall straw, and there were broken tiles and crumbling walls, as if it had been abandoned and had not been visited for a long time.
"you……"
Luo Jiu grabbed the demon boy's ear and shouted loudly in his ear:
"Tell me, why did you steal my dried fruit!"
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
The demon youth had a clear and beautiful voice and a handsome appearance. He should have been innocent and naive, but somehow he had gone astray and was terribly wicked.
"Sister, was I wrong...?"
He was pleading with Luo Jiu, his dark eyes filled with a hint of ingratiation.
"Don't think I'll let you off the hook just like that! Tell me, why did you steal my dried fruit!"
Luo Jiu seemed to be a cold and unapproachable person. In her world, food was the most important thing, and everything else had to take a backseat.
"I just saw my sister enjoying her food... so I wanted to have some too."
The little demon looked at Luo Jiu cautiously, a hint of embarrassment and shyness appearing in her big eyes.
"elder sister……"
He noticed that Luo Jiu had loosened her grip, so he carefully pointed to his ear with his finger, indicating that she could let go.
Luo Jiu let go and kept a distance from him.
The boy's eyes were very alluring. Everything made sense, but Luo Jiu always felt something was off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
While she wasn't looking, the boy took a dried fruit out of the bag and, imitating Luo Jiu's action, tossed it high into the air, finally landing it accurately in his mouth.
"It's delicious!"
Luo Jiu's eyes lit up. Sure enough, she was the real master of food appreciation. The owner had even told her it wasn't good when it was so cheap...
She reached into the bag, and a look of satisfaction returned to her face...
