In his haste, Kui Kui unfolded several yellow talismans, which were ready-made exorcism talismans drawn by Kui Ziyu.
She threw them all away, but only slightly hindered the demons' movements.
But for Kui Kui, that was enough.
She bit her middle finger, preparing to draw the talisman again, but her raised hand was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand.
Startled, she turned around and saw an inhumanly handsome face—the man who had just been lying on the bed.
The person in front of him was indeed no ordinary person. Not only was he dressed in ancient attire, but he also had long hair and eyes that were a golden color that Kui Kui had never seen before.
He looked down at Kui Kui and said coldly, "If you have this little bit of blood-drawn talisman, you might as well give it to me."
As he spoke, he squatted down and put Kui Kui's bleeding finger into his mouth.
Kui Kui was so shocked that she tried to pull her hand back, but the other party held it in place and she couldn't move an inch.
The coldness from his fingertips made Kui Kui shiver involuntarily.
When the demons saw that their prey had been taken away, they roared and pounced.
The man coldly raised his other hand, and the demon seemed to have hit a wall of air, baring its fangs and claws but unable to advance an inch further.
The man released his fingers, which had been sucked until they were white and bloodless, and said coldly, "How dare you covet the person I've set my sights on?"
After saying that, he formed his five fingers into a claw and clenched his fist in mid-air. The evil spirits screamed in agony and turned into black mist.
He grabbed the blankets from the bed, threw them over Kui Kui, and wrapped her up from head to toe.
He put one arm around her waist and led her to the bed.
Kui Kui came to her senses, pushed aside the blankets with her elbow, and struck the man with a palm strike that transformed into a hand chop.
The man gave a wicked smile and easily grasped her slender wrist without breaking a sweat.
"Is this how you treat your benefactor? I've protected you for so many years, and I just helped you drive away those ghosts. Are you going to turn your back on me so quickly, Kui Kui?"
Hearing the familiar voice and gazing into those golden phoenix eyes, Kui Kui felt as if she had been sucked into a vortex, momentarily forgetting to resist.
"It's...you?"
"It's me."
"Who are you? Why are you in my dream?"
“Naturally, it’s to save you. My name is Mo…” The man’s handsome, sword-like eyebrows furrowed, remaining there for a long time.
He had been imprisoned for so long that he had forgotten his own name.
"Don't you remember your own name?" Kui Kui asked, blinking her large, dark grape-like eyes.
A bitter smile appeared on the man's lips. "Yes, a name is for others to call me, but it's been too long since anyone has called me that. How about Kui Kui gives me a new one?"
Kui Kui not only received nine years of compulsory education, but also became a college student through the college entrance examination. Naturally, he would not do something as unreliable as naming his black cat Xiao Bai when he was a child.
She thought for a moment, what did the snake demon sealed in the snake coffin want most?
A glint flashed in her eyes, and she said, "How about calling me Ye? Ye means light, and I hope you will see the light again soon."
Mo Ye's eyes brightened, and the smile on her lips resembled a blooming lotus, both gentle and elegant.
"Okay. It's still early, sleep with me for a while, you're so warm." Mo Ye said, burying his face in Kui Kui's neck, nuzzling her, and closing his eyes.
Kui Kui felt as if a lump of ice was pressing down on him. The ice was so heavy that he couldn't push it away.
Before entering the snake coffin, she hadn't slept for a whole day. Now, lying on the soft bedding, she felt sleepy and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
Mo Ye, who was beside her, opened his eyes again and looked at Kui Kui.
Kui Kui slept soundly, breathing very lightly, her long eyelashes motionless.
Her small nose was quite pert, and her pink lips were even more beautiful, making her look very delicious.
He licked his lips; there seemed to be some of Kui Kui's blood still lingering in his mouth, which tasted very sweet.
The blood of someone with the destiny of a snake immortal is undoubtedly a great tonic for him.
He aimed at Kui Kui's fair neck, opened his mouth, and his clean, even teeth suddenly changed.
The four sharp teeth suddenly grew longer, gleaming with a chilling light.
The fangs pressed against the carotid artery in Kui Kui's neck, and the man could even feel the blood flowing.
With just a little effort, he could have a full meal, and all his years of guarding would have been in vain.
Not only will accumulated merits vanish into thin air, but the prospect of seeing the light again will be even more distant.
And the monthly curses... he'd really had enough!
On the fifteenth of each month, which is the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), he would undergo a torture of having his tendons pulled out and his skin peeled off.
Although it wasn't actually a case of muscle spasms and skin being torn apart, the pain was real.
He detached himself from his true form, transforming his primordial spirit into a human, all to alleviate the pain of the curse.
Good and evil are separated by a single thought.
He lowered his eyes, his sharp teeth returned to their original form, and a cool, clear kiss landed on Kui Kui's fair neck before he closed his eyes and fell peacefully asleep.
Mo Ye was awakened by the cold. He groped around the empty bed beside him.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Kui Kui pacing around his true form.
Kui Kui noticed the sound behind her and turned around, saying, "You're awake? Are you hungry? I just cooked a self-heating hot pot."
Mo Ye tilted his head slightly, stealing a glance at the two steaming objects on the ground, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
He withdrew his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "I have no interest in human food. How about you give me a bite?"
