"Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't." Naihe glanced at the hand he was holding, then slowly let go. The black butterfly was still fluttering around her. His eyes darkened, and with a flick of his wrist, the butterfly flew away.
Feng Guang's gaze fell on the calm lake surface. "You said... everyone has a past life?"
“Some people have it, and some people don’t. I don’t have anything like a past life.” Naihe stood beside her, looking at the top of her head. After a slight pause, he casually asked, “The man you mentioned last time… his name is Yun Ji?”
"Hmm... he's the one who lied to me."
He said, "I vaguely remember the name."
"What?" She looked up in surprise. "You know him?"
“Five hundred years ago… when the Demon Lord broke into the Underworld to find a woman’s soul, I stopped him outside the Bridge of Helplessness. At that time, there was a man named Yun Ji who was with the Demon Lord.” Naihe said, “I remember that he was wearing a mask and was half human and half demon.”
Feng Guang murmured, "That must be him..."
“He is the Demon Lord’s subordinate and also the Demon Realm’s Great General. You shouldn’t get involved with him.” Naihe paused for a second. “You’re too foolish. You’re no match for him.”
“He also said I was stupid…” Feng Guang was lost in thought for a moment, then quickly laughed and said, “Maybe I really am stupid. I’m not as smart and powerful as Yan Yu. Jun Yu likes her, and Yun Ji likes her too. Thinking about it… it seems that apart from this face, I don’t have anything else that can attract people.”
He lowered his eyes and saw her smile. After a long silence, he asked, "You said there's a man named Jun Yu who likes a woman named Yan Yu?"
"yes……"
"You said you have a twin sister."
"Um... Yan Yu is my younger sister."
"So you all look alike?"
"Yes... what's wrong?" Hearing his question, she couldn't help but feel a strange sensation.
He vaguely thought of something pleasant, but a slight smile played on his lips as he scoffed, "How foolish... So the people of the Demon Realm are all shallow."
"...What do you mean?"
He glanced down at her. "It's nothing."
After saying that, he twitched his brow slightly, squatted down beside her, and looked at the clear lake water in front of him in the same way she had just done, without saying anything more.
Unable to bear the eerie atmosphere, Feng Guang asked softly, "Nai He, are you going to stay here with me and enjoy the scenery?"
"Why not?" Naihe tilted her head, looking at her calmly. "Yun Ji is not worth you drinking the water of oblivion. He is not good enough for you."
Junyu is not good enough for you.
Feng Guang looked embarrassed because he had seen through her cowardly thoughts at a glance. She awkwardly raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I was just thinking about it... I didn't really intend to drink it."
"Is that so?" However, his black eyes were dark and deep, and under his gaze, everyone's secret thoughts seemed to have nowhere to hide.
Feng Guang felt inexplicably pressured, looking left and right but refusing to look at him. She coughed and raised her voice to bluff, "I didn't come here for the River of Oblivion. Isn't this your territory? I came here on purpose to see you, so be touched."
However, he remained silent.
She noticed his silence, so she looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Naihe shifted his gaze from her face to the calm, still lake surface.
He just remembered that five hundred years ago, she also smiled and said, "I'll marry you in the next life."
Naihe knew very well then that it was just a joke, just like her current insincerity, but somehow... he remembered it for so many years.
