Mo Sheng transmigrated here from the 21st century a long time ago. Time has been passing by little by little, and he has no idea what earth-shattering changes have taken place in his original world.
But that still couldn't stop him from wanting to go back.
...
I had another dream last night, filled with strange ideas and strange people.
However, this time there was a woman named Bai Zhi.
"Cough...cough...cough!"
She clutched her chest, her face contorted in pain, her chest heaving as she coughed violently.
"Are you alright?" September's sharp gaze held a hint of worry. She leaned into his arms, listening to his beating heart, a smug smile playing on her lips: "As expected, Demon Lord Brother still cares about me!"
"Bai Zhi, I will heal you!" he said firmly.
A gentle smile, as tender as spring water, appeared on her pale face: "You said you'd marry me once I was cured, I wonder if that still stands?"
Looking into her expectant eyes, and remembering that she was injured because of him, he couldn't bear to refuse her, and nodded, saying, "Okay!"
I don't know why, but my heart started to ache after hearing someone named September say yes.
I don't understand why I have some dreams that don't belong to me.
But it also feels like I really experienced it myself.
Ye Lisheng had been asleep for many days and could not be woken up, but his complexion was gradually improving.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted through the room. I found it so pleasant that I couldn't help but take a couple more breaths.
My mind became foggy, and my eyelids felt as heavy as iron; I couldn't lift them at all.
Suddenly, the person on the bed sat up, a smile appearing on their lips, a smile that was both alluring and tinged with a touch of happiness.
Ye Lisheng, who had shown no signs of life and was waiting to die, suddenly regained a heartbeat and opened her eyes.
This scene startled Fan Feng, who was taking care of him.
"You're awake?" he asked in surprise, because even the doctor had told everyone not to have any hope, and I even wondered what I would do without him.
He raised an eyebrow: "You seem rather unhappy to see that I'm awake?"
"No, no, I'm just very surprised."
He looked at me sleeping soundly in bed, a relieved smile on his lips: "If she hadn't called to me by my bedside every day, I don't know when I would have woken up."
Fan Feng almost threw up; this was a huge blow to a single man like him.
"Since you're awake, why didn't you tell her?"
Ye Lisheng looked out the window with a sharp gaze and said meaningfully, "There are too many unspeakable things lurking in the darkness. They will only slowly reveal themselves when I disappear."
"Ha!" Fan Feng chuckled dismissively. "You did all this for her."
He then shook his head, sighed regretfully, and said, "Those who once vowed never to marry now have something to hold them back."
"How strange! How strange!"
The sunlight, like a mischievous child, climbed onto my face. My fair skin and curly eyelashes fluttered like butterflies in the sunlight.
In my sleep, I felt something warm and cool on my lips, like jelly, and I couldn't help but suck on it.
Meanwhile, Ye Lisheng was startled by my sudden action; he never expected me to respond in this way.
"You stay here and wait patiently. I'll come back for you after I've finished dealing with everything."
...
Nine Nether Cave
The woman smiled radiantly in a place full of peach blossoms; none of the thousands of peach trees could compare to her beauty.
"September, your home is so beautiful. Is the whole world this beautiful?"
In September, a forced smile appeared on her lips; she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He thought saving Bai Zhi's life would be a simple matter; the life of the little flower spirit meant nothing to him. But now he was starting to worry about how to save both of their lives at the same time.
"The human world is beautiful, but it also has many hellish places."
Wang Sheng tilted his head, indicating that he was completely confused, and decided not to bother to figure out what he meant: "Oh well! Never mind, at least I'm happy now, aren't I?"
The pink hem of her skirt fluttered in the wind, and the roses embroidered on the collar and cuffs were so lifelike that they looked real.
Watching Wang Sheng flutter happily like a butterfly, he temporarily forgot his troubles and laughed heartily with her.
Not far away, under a peach tree, peach petals fluttered down like a peach blossom rain.
Bai Zhi stood pale-faced below her uncle, staring blankly at them. The laughter sounded particularly jarring to her ears.
The maid beside her stamped her foot, frowned, and angrily scolded, pretending to defend her, "This servant thinks she's not a flower spirit but a fox spirit."
"The Demon Lord, who has been seduced, has forgotten about your illness, Miss."
She shouldn't have said anything, because as soon as she did, Bai Zhi couldn't help but cough violently: "Cough cough cough!"
"Cough cough cough!"
"I don't know when my illness will be cured."
She struggled to finish speaking, only to feel a metallic taste in her throat; blood was flowing from her mouth.
The maid screamed in fright, "Miss, this servant will go and report to the Prince and have him bring that woman, Hua Ling, here immediately!"
She shook her head, rubbed her face, and said, "I wish I could become her."
"Why? You look so beautiful, Miss."
"I can tell that September likes her. If I became her, would he still like me?"
"Miss, I heard someone in the Nine Nether Cave say that if you eat all the flower spirits, you will have the chance to choose your own appearance!"
