Chapter 99 Life 4
◎The difference between demons and gods◎
Chen Xing, who was cleaning the table downstairs, had a trembling hand and the unfinished tea spilled all over his hands.
Of course, he was not fired.
Yan Yue stopped Nan Qing who was talking nonsense and laughed so hard that she could hardly stand up straight. Neither of them noticed that Chen Xing's mouth twitched several times.
Chuzhi loves to eat meat, and Nanqing eats a lot but doesn't care about the quality. Chen Xing always manages to use the least amount of money to prepare the best meals from several restaurants.
These days, he took care of their breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now that Yan Yue is back, Chen Xing carefully discovered that she likes sweets and snacks, so he changed the dishes.
Two days later, Mrs. Zheng celebrated her birthday.
Yan Yue did not go to the teahouse. She was at home sorting out the things given by the emperor when someone knocked on the door.
Chen Xing was carrying a bag of dim sum and said that Nan Qing asked him to help carry things. On the way, he saw that the dim sum shop had a new product, so he brought her one.
Yan Yue was very satisfied with this perceptive waiter. While eating snacks, she directed him to rummage around, take out two pieces of brocade, and select a set of jewelry as a birthday gift for Mrs. Zheng.
She is now a popular figure who is courted by everyone, and people greet her along the way.
As soon as she entered the Zheng family's house, Mrs. Zheng took her to the weeping tree in the yard with tears in her eyes, pointed at the new green leaves on the branches and said with tears in her eyes: "Miss Yue, it's really sprouted!"
Yan Yue was in a trance for a moment.
At the beginning, she joked with Zheng Qian and said that if he was reborn into this dead tree in the next life, he could look after his parents and younger brother and be with them. Later, Zhou Lin said that he heard from the ghost that Zheng Qian would be reincarnated into this tree in his next life, and she could hardly believe it.
Now, after just one autumn and winter, it has actually sprouted!
Mrs. Zheng's eyes were filled with tears. Little Zheng Yi handed his mother a handkerchief and said, "Mother, my brother is back. He will always be with us. You should be happy!"
"Happy, happy!" Mr. Zheng nodded with red eyes, touched Zheng Yi's little head and said: "I also want to thank Miss Yue. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have a child like Zheng Yi, and we wouldn't be able to meet Qian'er again. Thank you, Miss..."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!" Yan Yue quickly declined and motioned Chen Xing to hand over the gift: "Today is Madam Zheng's big day. Please accept this small token of my appreciation!"
Zheng's father took the gift himself and handed it to the housekeeper, while Zheng's mother led the two of them to a more secluded side hall.
Zheng Yi took Yan Yue's hand and asked, "Sister Yue, is Beijing fun?"
Yan Yue hadn't seen him for a long time. She led him for a walk and said, "The capital is much bigger than Linjiang City. It's lively and prosperous, and there are a lot of delicious food. If you like lively places, you should study hard. After high school, you can go to the capital to be an official..."
As the only child in the Zheng family, Zheng Yi only stayed with Yan Yue for a short while before he had to go to entertain the guests with his father and mother.
Chen Xing came over and whispered, "Boss, why are they so excited about the tree sprouting? What does it mean that my brother is back?"
If it were in the past, Yan Yue would be very happy to gossip with him and brag about her own great achievements.
But after returning from the capital, for some reason, her mood became much calmer. Chu Zhi also said that she must have been frightened by Prince Su and the dirty things in the capital, and her personality was not as lively and cheerful as before, and she spoke significantly less.
Yan Yue did not answer but asked: "What kind of person am I in your eyes?"
Chen Xing seemed a little nervous. "Boss, you are a very good person, very kind, very tolerant, and very approachable..."
"Approachable?"
Yan Yue was a little stunned. Could this word be applied to her?
Chen Xing thought he had said something wrong, and quickly took out a bag of candied fruit from his arms, "I, I'm not good at talking, I can't speak. You eat this, you eat..."
Seeing his nervous look, Yan Yue laughed. She picked up a candied fruit and put it in her mouth, saying casually, "You are busy in the store from morning till night. I don't know where you got the time to find so many foods."
Chen Xing's face turned pale. Just at this moment, the servant of the Zheng family brought some appetizers, and Yan Yue's attention was attracted away.
After dinner, little Zheng Yi finally finished his work. He held Yan Yue and wouldn't let her leave, asking her to talk about what she had seen and heard in Kyoto.
Yan Yue and Zheng Yi chatted for a long time and couldn't help feeling sleepy, so they both leaned on the couch and dozed off.
"This one is big and this one is small." Madam Zheng took a blanket and covered them. She couldn't help but said to Chen Xing, "Alas, many people wanted to talk to her at the banquet today and ask her for help. But look at her, she is still a half-grown girl! You should take better care of her on weekdays."
Chen Xing smiled respectfully and said, "Of course. Please rest assured, Madam Zheng, Chen Xing will do his best to take good care of the master."
When Yan Yue woke up, Zheng Yi was playing with Chen Xing.
Chenxing sent Yan Yue home, and the sun began to set.
He volunteered to cook a few dishes for her to try. Yan Yue did not refuse. She sat in the yard stroking "Xiaobai" and watched him busy in the kitchen.
Zhou Lin felt that Chen Xing had bad intentions and was worried about him cooking, so he watched him in the kitchen.
Old Jiang sat opposite Yan Yue, touched Dahei and said, "This young man is good, but you have to be careful, don't let your man find out."
"???"
Yan Yue blinked in confusion, "My man?"
"Bai Chen!"
Old Jiang advised earnestly: "He is the Demon Lord, it is normal for him to have a bad temper, after all, he is in that position. This young man is not bad, but you must not let him run into Bai Chen! These big shots value their reputation the most..."
"Wait wait wait, let me sort it out."
Yan Yue was almost confused: "You think Bai Chen is my man, and Chen Xing is my canary? Me, raising a canary? Mr. Jiang, are you so tolerant of me?"
But Mr. Jiang didn't care: "What's the big deal! Our girl is not an ordinary woman. All the men are flocking to her and are infatuated with you. This can't be your fault. It's just that Qi Zhaoyang is fine, but Bai Chen is not an ordinary man either. You still have to be more cautious, otherwise he might make a scene!"
Yan Yue was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're really worrying too much! He's not my man, and we probably won't meet again in the future. Chen Xing is just working in the shop, and I don't think it's a long-term solution for him to live in the shop. If he's really capable, let him live at home, and we can live together like Nan Qing and Chu Zhi in the future."
Mr. Jiang asked in surprise, "You won't meet? Doesn't he come to accompany you every night?"
Yan Yue jumped up in shock: "What? He comes every night? Did you see it wrong? This is impossible!"
Mr. Jiang recalled: "He came the night before yesterday, and he came last night, and he will probably come again today. Didn't you say anything?"
Yan Yue couldn't believe it, so much so that she didn't even invite Chen Xing to eat after he finished making dinner.
She finished her meal in a daze, took a bottle of wine back to the house, sipped it, and mustered up the courage to wait for Bai Chen to arrive.
At midnight, there was a slight sound of a door opening, and Yan Yue was suddenly awakened from her drowsiness. She stared at Bai Chen who came to the bed.
"You, why, didn't you sleep...?"
"Are you a thief? Why did you come here in the middle of the night? Why didn't you wake me up? Are you feeling guilty? Are you ashamed of me? Is there something you dare not say to my face? What are you trying to do secretly?"
"Look, for every one I say, you have to say ten."
"Just listen to me and don't count!"
“…………”
Yan Yue was interrupted by him, and the depression in her chest dissipated a little. She asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Bai Chen took out two chopstick-like objects from his arms and said softly, "Don't you want the Emei Thorn?"
Yan Yue was stunned for a moment, staring at the two pieces of the stick and asked, "So you broke it off to show off to me?"
Bai Chen almost vomited blood, and angrily showed it to her, "I'm afraid you will forget to bring it, so I made it into a hairpin of different lengths, with a spiral in the middle. With a one-to-one rotation, it becomes an Emei Thorn, which is convenient for you to carry with you!"
Sure enough, the two short sticks docked with his action, and with a twist and a turn, the two short sticks became one.
"This is really good!" Yan Yue grabbed it in surprise.
The Emei Thorn has a simple shape, with ancient patterns on the stick body and sharp ends, so it looks natural when used as a hairpin. So she unwrapped it again and tried to insert it into her head.
Bai Chen sighed helplessly, took it, bent down and inserted the two pieces of Emei Spear into her head.
“Does it look good?”
Yan Yue looked up and was very close to Bai Chen who was bending over, breathing in each other's breath.
Her dark pupils flashed brightly, and her long eyelashes tickled Bai Chen's heart, making him feel itchy.
"nice."
“Bai Chen…”
"Um?"
"I seem to mind that you are always thinking about the Dark Moon God."
"I……"
"Listen to me first."
"good."
"When I think about the fact that you don't want me to wear the same colored clothes as her and are afraid to see her idol, I feel uncomfortable. I know that you have lived for a long time. During these long years, there will always be someone who breaks into your heart and makes you worry and unforgettable. I understand, I just, I just..."
"Yue'er, what are you talking about?"
Bai Chen was completely confused and couldn't help but interrupt her: "Mingyue and I are not what you think."
He sat down next to Yan Yue, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Someone once told me that even if I have no rivals in the demon world, I am just a beast that has become a spirit, and will always be called a demon by mortals."
"But I am unwilling to accept this. We fairies have to put in more effort and hard work than mortals in our cultivation. Why can they become immortals and gods while we can only be demons?"
"I want to compete with the gods, but it is difficult for me to contact the gods. The easiest place to find gods in the mortal world is the City God Temple, so I started to destroy the City God Temple, forcing the City Gods to show up and fight with them."
…………
Yan Yuexin said: This is difficult to comment.
"I won."
"The City God that mortals kowtow to is completely vulnerable in front of me. I have also fought against several Yama Kings in the underworld, but they are no match for me. Until the Underworld Moon God appeared."
Bai Chen paused for a moment and said, "I am indeed no match for her."
“That was the first time I knew the difference between demons and gods.”
"I have fought her for thousands of years, and each time I was left with only half my life. I dragged my broken arms and legs and found a deserted place to recuperate. After I recovered from my injuries, I continued to provoke Hades and forced her to fight me."
Hmm…
Yan Yue was speechless and muttered to herself: The beating was still not light enough!
