Chapter 57
After all, it was his first time to fly with wings, and he had to dodge those dense arrows. In addition, Cassel walked slowly, and was suddenly shot by an arrow in the wing. The pain made him sway in the air and he almost fell down!
Fortunately, he has four wings.
He endured the pain and flew out of the city. Passing by the dense forest, Cassel frowned slightly. Why did he feel like he couldn't find Nie Wuhen?
As he was thinking, he bumped into the "thing" in the air. Cassel was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, but then he heard Nie Wuhen's soothing voice: "Don't be afraid--"
The voice stopped abruptly.
Cassel breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He moved closer and threw himself into Nie Wuhen's arms, being especially intimate. Just as he was about to call him, his waist felt tight. By the time he reacted, he was already being held by Nie Wuhen, diving down and landing beside a stream.
Nie Wuhen turned him around and looked at his wings with a frown.
Cassel understood it all. He didn't care at all. He waved his wings twice with a pale face and said, "They were redundant wings to begin with... so if they're broken, they're broken..."
"You can't say that." Nie Wuhen asked, "Did Bai Yi give you the bottle?"
Cassel held the bottle tightly in his hand, hid it, lowered his head and said no.
That pill is used to purify the devil's aura, so he must not take it again. What if one day my wings can’t grow back and I become a monster that is neither a devil nor an angel?
But Cassel's words alone were obviously not enough to satisfy Nie Wuhen. Because Nie Wuhen asked Bai Yi to take that bottle of medicine to Cassel.
It was quiet for a moment.
Nie Wuhen did not expose his clumsy lie, but just said: "The arrow almost pierced your wings. Even if you don't like these extra wings, you are still the one who is in pain. There is a painkiller in the bottle, Cassel, you should understand what I mean."
Cassel held the bottle stubbornly, turned his back to Nie Wuhen, and whispered, "I'm not afraid of pain... just pull it out directly."
“……” He was stubborn.
That night, he just leaned in to kiss Cassel's wings, and Cassel dropped a bunch of little pearls. Therefore, no one knows better than Nie Wuhen how afraid of pain Cassel is. But at this moment, Cassell was able to endure until now and even told him to just pull it out.
Nie Wuhen walked around him, stood in front of him, and said, "Bring it here."
Cassel took two steps back and looked at him timidly: "Can you please not be like this? I'm a little scared."
Nie Wuhen felt uncomfortable all over. At that moment, he began to reflect on himself, wondering if he had spoken too seriously just now and scared Cassel. Countless anxieties surged into his heart, and then the next second, he watched Cassel quickly open the bottle and pour all the pills into the stream.
For the first time, Nie Wuhen was so angry that he laughed.
However, the next second, his smile froze on his face, followed by a nameless anger.
In front of him, Cassel gritted his teeth, reached out and pulled out the arrow, threw it on the ground, and his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he trembled with pain. The blood from the wings behind him almost dyed the grass red.
"Cassell!"
Nie Wuhen hugged Cassel who was about to fall and quickly pressed his acupoints to stop the bleeding. His face turned ashen at that moment, and Nie Wuhen took several deep breaths before suppressing his anger. He now hated himself so much that he put all the healing pills in that bottle!
Cassel obviously knew that he had done something wrong, but he did not regret it. He just bit his pale lips tightly and said forcefully: "It doesn't hurt... It doesn't hurt at all..."
Nie Wuhen placed the Wuwang Sword next to him. His chest rose and fell violently several times before he said coldly, "The Wuwang Sword is next to you. Don't walk around. It can protect you."
Cassel curled up into a ball, trying to think about what Nie Wuhen said. After a moment, he slowly said, "But I can't... touch it."
“You can touch it.”
As Nie Wuhen spoke, he grabbed Cassel's hand, and when he saw him shudder and look extremely frightened, his anger instantly disappeared. He regretted that he was so confused. Why would he be angry with his fellow Taoist? If he had to blame someone, he should blame himself. Why did he, Nie Wuhen, treat Cassel coldly?
"It won't cut you," Nie Wuhen tried to soften his tone. Although he couldn't quite do it, at least he wouldn't be so cold and hard that Cassel would be afraid of him. He said, "Touch the Wuwang Sword..."
Cassel raised his eyes to look at Nie Wuhen, and mustered up the courage to touch him - the cold light of the Wuwang Sword brushed across the sword's edge, as if in response. There is no scene of being cut upon the first touch.
Cassel blinked his eyes, curious, and subconsciously touched it twice more.
Nie Wuhen heaved a sigh of relief. He said, "I'll be back soon."
Cassel was sitting on the ground. He didn't have to wait long at all before he saw Nie Wuhen walking towards him quickly. He first took a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his wings, and then began to sprinkle some medicine powder on him.
Cassel only felt his wings burning and painful. He subconsciously flapped his little wings, but the little wings were fixed by Nie Wuhen's magic. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he just said, "What kind of medicine is this? Why does it hurt so much?"
Nie Wuhen lowered his head to bandage him. Hearing this, he said calmly, "Aren't you not afraid of the pain? Just bear with it."
Cassel had no way to defend himself.
He gritted his teeth, thinking of not saying a word, but Nie Wuhen was standing next to him. Cassel didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sour nose. He hung his head and said nothing until Nie Wuhen rubbed his head and spoke.
Cassel looked up and saw Nie Wuhen with his back to him, crouching down.
"Come up." Nie Wuhen repeated.
Cassel rubbed his nose, rushed over, hugged Nie Wuhen's neck, buried his face in the crook of his neck, and whispered sorry.
Nie Wuhen said nothing. He carried Cassel on his back and walked forward step by step. There are green leaves on both sides of the road, and a few wild rabbits occasionally jump out. Flowers of various colors dot the road like stars.
After a long while, Nie Wuhen sighed and asked him, "Do your wings still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Cassel said sullenly, and at the same time used his magic power to make his wings invisible, and apologized quietly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
"I'm not angry." Nie Wuhen curled his lips and closed his eyes resignedly.
He always felt that Cassel was too abnormal today, but Nie Wuhen couldn't tell what was going on. Before going to Wangchuan, Cassel always thought that it was good to be possessed by a demon, but on that day in Wangchuan, he cried and begged himself not to be possessed by a demon. And the matter of the mermaids, the words Cassel let slip -
Let's not make a deal, okay?
trade……
What kind of deal is this?
Nie Wuhen couldn't figure it out. Coupled with Cassell's abnormal behavior today, he always felt that he had overlooked something important.
What is Cassel hiding from me?
In the blink of an eye, Nie Wuhen thought of a name.
Barbatos.
Cassel had no idea what Nie Wuhen was thinking. He only knew that he had done something wrong and Nie Wuhen was not happy at all. But he didn't know how to comfort Nie Wuhen, so he could only call his name softly.
Nie Wuhen stopped but did not look back at him.
Cassel didn't understand what was going on. He raised his head from Nie Wuhen's neck and looked at him sadly. In his black pupils, only Nie Wuhen's figure was reflected.
Nie Wuhen moved his lips, but he didn't ask "Are you hiding something from me?" in the end. Instead, he said, "I'm sorry that I didn't consider your feelings when I first met you and pushed you into the bridal sedan..."
Cassel was stunned. He obviously did not expect Nie Wuhen to suddenly say this. For a moment, he even forgot what he was going to say.
"Your demonic aura was very strong, so I mistakenly thought you were a demon cultivator. Not only did I let you go to the bottom of the sea alone, but I also sealed your magic power and your demonic aura without authorization."
When they first met, it was his magic power that was sealed. On the day when he was forced to get into the bridal sedan, Nie Wuhen squatted down and cast a spell on his ankle, sealing his demonic aura. At that time, Nie Wuhen had to admit that he had never wanted this little devil with an evil aura to walk out of the South China Sea alive.
But in the end, soft-heartedness played a big role. What's more, Nie Wuhen didn't smell any blood from this evil-filled man.
Cassel lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly. Although Ji Chuya told him all this at the bottom of the sea, he still didn't dare to recall it. He will never forget that day. People on the shore were cheering, but he was drowning in the sea. Thumb-thick chains bound his movements, and it was a luxury for Cassel to even struggle.
Nie Wuhen continued, "You are afraid of me, and that's right. But I didn't expect that you would give me a chance and even give yourself to me."
"So, I've made up my mind." Nie Wuhen put the man down, and faced Cassel. He pursed his lips, pulled Cassel's hand, and used a little force to prevent him from pulling it back. He just put it against his chest, closed his eyes and said, "You can do whatever you want. My inner elixir is here. If you want, you can take it anytime."
Cassel was dumbfounded. He never expected things to turn out this way. Cassel pulled his hand back and whispered, "I don't blame you...Besides, if you hadn't protected me later, I would have died a long time ago..."
That's true. If the person he met at the beginning was not Nie Wuhen, but someone else, based on Cassel's understanding of this world, he would probably have been killed long ago.
Nie Wuhen is actually quite good. Cassel pursed his lips and thought, the fox demon Lingyou, the left protector of the demon clan Chen Zhufeng, the leader of Yundian... and many more. If it weren't for Nie Wuhen, he would have died long ago. In addition, he also brought himself a lot of candied haws.
Cassel stood in front of Nie Wuhen and said stammeringly: "Actually, none of us..."
Before he finished speaking, several guards with swords came over from a distance, interrupted their conversation, saluted and said, "Sir, the princess has woken up and was asking when you will set off."
Cassel's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Nie Wuhen, who calmly took the disguise pill and transformed into Zhao Ying's appearance. He said calmly, "We'll set off right away."
The guard nodded and then retreated.
Nie Wuhen asked what Cassel had just said. Cassel felt there was no need to repeat himself, so he simply shook his head and said crisply, "I didn't say anything."
"Casel," Nie Wuhen called him. He stood in front of Cassel, bent down and looked him in the eye, and said, "Since you promised to marry me, we must trust each other and give our hearts to each other."
Cassel watched as Nie Wuhen held his hand again and placed it on his chest. The heartbeat under his palm was vigorous and powerful. At that moment, Cassel felt that he was seen through.
Shame covered his face, and Cassel's face turned red. He didn't dare to look at Nie Wuhen, but the latter pinched his chin, forcing the two to look at each other.
"No matter what you ask, I will be open and honest with you, so can you be honest with me as well?"
"For example, why did you throw away that bottle of medicine?"
