The sky here always seems gloomy, with a gray hue and a deathly stillness.
Following a small path ahead, Liuyin finally discovered the cave.
Compared to the silence of the surrounding mountains and forests, the cave was even quieter, with a faint, almost imperceptible, smell of blood.
Liuyin doesn't deliberately lighten her footsteps, so the sound of her walking in the cave is particularly noticeable at this moment.
Fortunately, there were no other humans in the cave.
A faint chill was in the air, and as if sensing the cold, Liuyin quickened her pace.
Soon, a man sitting on a stone bed came into view.
The man's eyes were open, but his gaze didn't fall on her. It was as if he hadn't noticed Liuyin's arrival, or perhaps he didn't care.
"Slaughter." Liu Yin called to him softly as she approached, her tone gentle.
The man suddenly looked at Liu Yin, "Who are you?"
He had probably not spoken for a long time; his voice was hoarse, and his tone was strange and grating.
But Liu Yin clearly didn't care. She slowly sat down near the man and said, "You're the one who asked me to come."
Tu Lu frowned, clearly not believing it.
Liu Yin smiled and placed her hand on his chest. "It was your heart that called me here."
Even through the clothes, I could feel the heart beating beneath the skin, very quickly.
"You are lonely."
The man frowned, a hint of fierceness creeping across his face, yet his tone remained utterly puzzled. "What is loneliness?"
"You've been here for so long, aren't you lonely?" Liu Yin asked with a light laugh.
She was only wearing a thin, light green gauze dress, which covered nothing at all. Her fair and delicate skin, in the dim light, looked like melting spring snow, glowing with a luminous sheen.
Seemingly feeling cold, Liu Yin shrank back and moved closer to the man beside her.
But his body was even colder than the chill in the air.
“Slaughter.” Liu Yin called to him softly.
A clear, melodious voice interrupted the man's thoughts. Looking at the woman nestled beside him, the man was filled with confusion.
How do you know my name?
In fact, even he himself had almost forgotten his own name, after all, he had lived for too long.
“You told me that.” Liu Yin blinked. “Have you forgotten? I’ve been here with you for a long time.”
"That's why I wanted to come see you."
This is an era in which humans and demons coexist. The demons that spirits transform into are bloodthirsty and cruel, so the human race has always been oppressed.
Later, with the rise of demon hunters, the disadvantaged position of the human race was gradually changed.
Wushan is rich in spiritual energy and is a breeding ground for demons; Tulu was also born here.
So much time has passed that even he himself has forgotten his age. He only knows that there is plenty of food here, so he has never left.
For him, the food tasted different, but what they had in common was that the faces were ugly and still retained some animal characteristics.
Thinking of this, Tu Lu reached out and pinched Liu Yin's face, forcing her to look up.
The skin beneath her hands and her complete face were similar to those of the group of people at the foot of the mountain, but she truly carried the aura of Wushan.
However, he looked very much like those weak people, and a hint of disdain flashed in the man's eyes.
The man was very strong and did not hold back, and soon two red marks appeared on Liuyin's cheeks.
“Slaughter, be gentle.” The woman’s voice trembled as she looked at him with her misty eyes.
Ignoring the strange emotions in his heart, the man suddenly let go of her hand, stood up, and said, "I won't eat you, you can leave."
The woman seemed different from the monsters he had encountered before. Those creatures would resist him when they met him, and Slaughter didn't mind conquering them with force before slowly enjoying them.
But all she does is obey.
The man turned his back, refusing to look at Liuyin sitting on the stone bed.
It wasn't because of any difference between men and women; slaughter never had that concept. In his eyes, anything that could walk was just food.
But whenever he saw her, he always felt something was off.
Slaughter doesn't know what it feels like, but instinct drives him to avoid it; avoiding danger is their instinct.
Watching the man's retreating figure, Liuyin gently rose from the stone bed and softly said, "I don't want to leave."
"Wouldn't it be nice if I stayed here with you?" Liu Yin gently moved closer to the man's back and wrapped her arms around his waist.
The man was tall and strong; even though Liu Yin wasn't very close, she could feel his strong bones and muscles beneath his clothes.
Slaughter really suited Liuyin's aesthetic, making her feel a desire to conquer.
His first impression on her was desire.
When 003 brought Liuyin to this world for the first time, all Liuyin saw were those ugly-looking monsters, which really shocked her.
There are few demon hunters in Wushan, and almost no demon hunters come here, because this is a gathering place for spirits and monsters.
As long as Wushan exists, the monsters here will never be exhausted; new ones will always appear.
There were naturally many humans at the foot of the mountain, but in Liu Yin's eyes, they were all drab and dull, with dim eyes, and they were not interesting at all.
It was only after Liu Yin had 003 search for the spirits in the mountains that they discovered the traces of the massacre.
Tu Lu, with his handsome face and tall stature, quickly caught Liu Yin's attention. She realized that she was somewhat attracted to good looks.
Feeling the softness behind him, the man frowned slightly. "What's your name?"
He was about to remove Liu Yin's hand from his waist, but then he remembered the red mark on the woman's face and stopped.
"My name is Liuyin."
"You said you'd stay and keep me company?" the man asked in a strange tone.
In his eyes, she was just food, and letting her go was his last chance.
Liu Yin chuckled and replied, "Of course, I came here for you."
After saying that, she let go of his hand and walked around to face him.
Liu Yin looked up at him, her eyes full of laughter, "Tu Lu, am I not beautiful?"
"What is beautiful?" the man asked, puzzled.
Liu Yin reached out and took the man's hand, placing it on her cheek. "This is beauty."
A faint blush spread across the girl's fair cheeks, and the man, staring at her, found himself unable to look away, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
Seeing the way the man looked at her, Liu Yin smiled and pulled his hand down.
003 naturally wouldn't let her wear so little. She had a cloak outside earlier, but Liuyin threw it away after they entered the cave.
Slaughter didn't seem to understand these things very well, since his previous memories were still stuck in the bloody part.
With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, the man was momentarily lucid, and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "What kind of monster are you?"
"Mountain……"
Liu Yin's voice was broken, and she answered intermittently, "Mountain demon."
Her voice was more delicate and softer than before, with a sweetness that made one's heart flutter.
Tu Lu looked at her with burning desire and reached out to hold her even tighter.
