Ning Feng and Cecilia locked eyes, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Finally, after gazing at each other for a while, Ning Feng was the first to look away.
It wasn't fear, but rather a sudden realization of his past actions...
To put it nicely, Ning Feng was being cautious by not telling anyone the whole plan, which added an extra layer of insurance.
To put it bluntly, he acted like a bad guy, gaining the trust of the honest angel but ultimately not telling her the truth.
Let me emphasize again, it's really not out of fear!
Cough cough cough...
Ning Feng was full of confidence when dealing with the wicked woman Ariana, but he still felt somewhat guilty towards Cecilia, the good woman he had deceived once but ultimately didn't take to heart.
After a moment of silence, Ning Feng spoke first and asked:
"Um, cough... are you angry?"
Because you're angry, you chose not to tell me?
This reason is reasonable, but Cecilia gave a different answer.
"No, I'm not angry."
Cecilia's answer was not a lie. Looking at Ning Feng, who seemed somewhat skeptical, she said earnestly:
"I can understand what you did back then."
"After all, she has a contractual relationship with you, while I am an unknown entity that you are unfamiliar with, so it is reasonable for you to lean towards her in your heart."
"And I don't think it's wrong to maintain a calm and cautious habit."
Watching Cecilia earnestly analyze right and wrong, Ning Feng felt so moved he almost cried.
Come and see what kind of angel this is!
What truly defines a good woman?
What a wonderful woman!
She was deceived, yet she still spoke up for me.
She really made me cry my eyes out.
Waaah...
To be honest, Ning Feng was still somewhat overwhelmed by such a display of power.
He felt it was understandable if Cecilia were to throw a tantrum, and even being angry wouldn't be excessive, but she wasn't.
Ning Feng's personality is such that the more forceful you are, the more excited he becomes, but as long as you give in, he will also soften.
Non-Newtonian fluid personality... In layman's terms, they respond better to gentle persuasion than force.
He finds excitement in the malice of others, but he is somewhat uncomfortable with the kindness of others.
"Furthermore, I don't really understand those emotions you're talking about."
Ning Feng sensed something was amiss. He stared intently into those golden eyes, trying to find genuine emotion within them.
But nothing was gained.
“The path of angels is different from that of demons; they do not need to seek the origin in their bloodline.”
The angel raised her hand and gently touched Ning Feng's brow with her fingertips. She said:
"What we are looking for is right here."
The spiritual path to which angels belong differs from the bloodline path to which demons belong; both seek more of a moment of sudden enlightenment.
"Once you understand what's in your heart, you can advance at any time, but right now... you're not ready yet."
Cecilia knew that Ning Feng would ask about those things after the demon mentioned them, so she took the initiative to tell him, and now her mission is complete.
But he didn't let her slip away easily. Before the angel disappeared, Ning Feng raised his hand, which itched, and tapped her forehead in the same way he had done before.
Without any flow of power, he simply touched the other's body lightly and whispered:
"listen to me……"
"You can be angry."
Even if you don't understand or can't feel that way right now, you have that right.
“You are not just a weapon, not created to destroy demons. Your birth must have a more important meaning.”
She thought he only cared about the methods to advance, but he cared about much more than that.
Staring into the angel's somewhat bewildered eyes, Ning Feng said in a deep voice:
"The world cannot be just about love and romance, but it also cannot be without love and romance."
"There's still a lot you can learn about relationships, for example..."
After saying that, Ning Feng stretched out two fingers and gently flicked Cecilia's cheek, forcing her to put on a slightly comical smile.
"Smile."
But looking at that angelic face, Ning Feng's eyes showed no mockery; instead, he said gently:
"Look, isn't it beautiful?"
"You're better suited to smiling."
...
...
Slowly opening his eyes, Ning Feng looked up at the sky in a daze.
Time flows on without any difference in speed; the sky has already begun to turn yellow, and the setting sun is already rushing below the horizon.
Shaking his head, Ning Feng smiled helplessly as he came to his senses.
"He can even be shy... Well, that's progress, I guess."
Ning Feng found the image of the angel who suddenly snapped out of her daze, blushed, and slapped him so hard he was practically offline.
As soon as Ning Feng opened the door to his room, he heard Jiang Wan's amused voice.
"What's with that expression? You seem to be in a really good mood. Are you flirting with some nasty woman?"
hiss.
As expected of a woman with radar, she even guessed this.
But Ning Feng would never admit it.
After all, he wasn't flirting with a bad woman just now; he was having a deep emotional exchange with a bad devil.
Oh, and I also got a cold shoulder from the Good Angels...
"I've only been romantically involved with you, so does that mean... um?"
As Jiang Wan placed the purchased items on the table, she opened her arms and walked towards Ning Feng.
"Ha, you're the bad woman. Aren't I a good woman?"
Ning Feng smiled and pulled Jiang Wan into his arms, casually saying:
"Yes, yes, I must admit that."
You're absolutely right, a truly wonderful woman.
The two embraced gently, and then Jiang Wan twitched her nose as they leaned close together.
Sniff!
"Hmm? Strange, there's definitely no other person's scent."
Ning Feng: ? ? ?
Don't you trust me at all?
Okay, I take back what I just said... You can be a bad woman too.
Hesitantly releasing Ning Feng, Jiang Wan returned to her previous spot and continued fiddling with her spoils.
"Speaking of which, when is Shirin coming back? I even brought her some snacks."
Ning Feng tilted his head, recalling Xilin's pitiful expression when she left, and chuckled:
"She said it would be in the afternoon, so it should be soon, maybe a little later at most."
She's definitely the kind of person who would go home immediately without lingering for even a second longer; she's socially anxious and wants to escape this dangerous world.
"I think so too. Let's wait for her and have dinner together then."
The two waited like that until late at night.
That day, Shirin, who had promised to return in the afternoon, did not come back until night had completely fallen.
