Chapter 62
This question would have been beyond doubt in the past. Cassel would reply to Nie Wuhen with certainty and pride, saying that I am a little devil, a disguised devil from hell.
But now, Cassell is a little speechless. The little tentacles were gone, the devilish aura was gone, and even the bare little wings had grown bigger and become more numerous, with snow-white feathers, exactly the same color as angel wings.
Cassel hesitated. He now considered himself a monster, but deep down, he was unwilling to admit it. He leaned into Nie Wuhen's arms and was silent for a long time before he said, "I am... the little devil."
As if to encourage himself, Cassel repeated firmly, "I am the little devil, a little devil who was wandering outside, and Barbatos picked me up."
Nie Wuhen pinched his face and said as if they were chatting, "Not all demons are evil. Barbatos is a good guy. He is not as heinous as you said..."
"...Ah," Cassel was a little speechless, "That's not true. Demons are all bad guys...I am also a demon...Barbatos...is also bad...right..."
The voices behind him became quieter and quieter, and Cassel began to hesitate. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a moment.
Nie Wuhen leaned over and kissed his cheek, saying, "Barbatos is very good. Cassel, we are about to get married, so can you tell me what your magic power is? I am a little curious."
"The power of disguise," Cassel instantly became excited when he talked about this. He swept away his previous doubts and began to introduce himself excitedly, "I am the only disguised devil in hell. I can pretend to be pitiful and weak, and then deceive the little angels... Well, angels and devils are mortal enemies, and I don't like little angels..."
"That's amazing." Nie Wuhen tried to praise him, "Then if you lie to the little angels, will they believe you?"
"Of course. I'm a demon in disguise, the best at it! And I'll tell you in secret, I've never failed!"
Nie Wuhen's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was already in turmoil. He pursed his lips, trying not to show his emotions. He just half-huggled Cassel, and with a little force, he lifted him up by the waist, put him on the bed, patted Cassel's shoulder, and said, "Turn your back to me. I want to see your little wings."
Cassel had no doubts. He knelt on the bed, his back facing Nie Wuhen, and spread his wings. The feathers were neatly arranged, holy and unattainable; these were the most beautiful wings Nie Wuhen had ever seen, bar none.
Cassel's face turned red when he noticed Nie Wuhen reaching out to touch the base of the wing. His wings trembled, but he did not hide. He just clenched his fists and whispered to Nie Wuhen: "This is not good..."
Nie Wuhen: “…”
Later he realized that this action seemed like a courtship.
He coughed dryly, withdrew his hand, and continued to bring the topic back to the topic, saying: "After those little angels were deceived by you, did other demons capture them?"
Speaking of this, Cassel got angry. He complained indignantly, "Those demons are idiots! Stupid guys, they always let those angels run away! They are so stupid."
Nie Wuhen heaved a sigh of relief. He chatted with Cassel about his world, and from his mouth, he learned about the characteristics and differences between angels and demons again. Later, even Cassel reacted. He turned around and looked at Nie Wuhen with his dark eyes. He didn't smile or cry as usual, but asked seriously: "Nie Wuhen, are you doubting that I am an angel, not a demon?"
This is exactly what Nie Wuhen wanted. He has been guiding Cassell to talk about this matter, so that he can realize that something is wrong.
For example, according to what Cassel said, all demons are extremely evil and they even fight among themselves, so how could they possibly save a little demon? Isn't this contradictory?
What is even more contradictory is that Cassell said he could disguise and deceive. But when Nie Wuhen got along with him, he didn't find any reason why he would deceive others. Basically, you can tell the answer by just asking, so how is it possible to cheat successfully? The little angels on the opposite side, are they all trash? It's just a coincidence that they can deceive one of them, but how come they never fail?
Is it that the disguised devil is so innocent that the angels would rather believe their opponent, or is it that the disguised devil is just an angel in devil's skin? It seemed like a lie, but in fact, in the eyes of those angels, not a single word was a lie.
Nie Wuhen looked at him: "Based on your description, I think you are more like an angel."
Cassel looked at him for a while, then folded his wings, stood up from the bed, walked to the table, and said, "I don't want the wings, and I don't want to lose the tentacles. You can't doubt my identity or Barbatos because of this."
Nie Wuhen sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He turned to look at Cassel and said, "I just feel that all this is too contradictory. So contradictory... that I have to doubt it."
"Nie Wuhen."
Cassel grasped the seeds on the table in his palm and tilted his head to look at him. The long period of time has taught him to control his emotions, but he often exposed his vulnerable side in front of Nie Wuhen and cried. But if Nie Wuhen touched his bottom line, he would also be angry and annoyed, especially when it came to doubts about his identity.
"Although I have become like this, I am still a little devil. From the beginning to the end, I am just a little devil picked up by Barbatos." Cassel walked to the window and threw the seeds out directly, spreading his hands and said, "Demons do not need offerings, and I never care about what angels get."
"I hate them."
“It has never changed.”
After Cassel finished speaking, he watched Nie Wuhen quickly go out. He stood behind him and forced himself not to look at Nie Wuhen, but when he was alone, the uncomfortable feeling came back.
Tears quickly fell down, Cassel lowered his head and wiped his tears hard. He was thinking about whether he should leave, and then he heard footsteps coming.
Cassel was stunned.
Nie Wuhen stood behind him and asked in a low voice: "Crying?"
"No." Cassel wiped his face and said stubbornly.
"You can cry when you lose your temper," Nie Wuhen was helpless. He put the seed in his palm on the table, walked around Cassel, came in front of him, and said, "I said the wrong thing, don't be angry."
"You just said the wrong thing!" Cassel couldn't help himself, turned around and threw himself into Nie Wuhen's arms, punched his shoulders hard, and said in a crying voice, "I am a little devil, how can you doubt that I am an angel! You know I have done so many things to harm little angels, how can you doubt it!"
The force of the pounce was a bit too strong. Nie Wuhen hadn't expected him to suddenly pounce on him. He hugged his waist and took two steps back. After stabilizing himself, he continued, "I won't say it next time..."
“You just can’t say it!” Cassel wiped all his tears on Nie Wuhen’s clothes. As he wiped, he said in a particularly vicious way, “Your suspicion of me is no different from my suspicion that you are a demon cultivator. Obviously, I won’t say anything. I didn’t say I wanted you to become a demon!”
Nie Wuhen leaned over and kissed his face, apologizing: "I won't say it next time, don't be angry... I'll buy you a candied haws..."
"Really?" Cassel paused, dodged his kiss, and looked at him with suspicion on his face.
Nie Wuhen immediately said: "I won't ask again--"
"I mean the candied haws."
“…”
Nie Wuhen: "I'll go now."
When Nie Wuhen went out, Bai Yi was already waiting for him at the door. When he saw Nie Wuhen coming out, he asked, "How is it? Are you sure?"
"Yes." Nie Wuhen half closed his eyes, "But he won't accept it."
"It's strange that he can accept it. No one would accept it," Bai Yi said, "There's something wrong with the tentacles. It's like a seal, sealing all of Cassel's original magic power into his blood. And the devil's aura is devouring his power bit by bit. When he came out of the fox demon, you should have been able to feel it... Oh, his wings..."
"It's four wings." Nie Wuhen leaned against the wall, his eyelashes covering the darkness in his eyes, "And the four-winged angel he mentioned--"
Before he finished speaking, Nie Wuhen's expression changed. He turned around immediately and teleported into the room. Coincidentally, he saw Cassel touching the dagger.
Cassel was frightened when he suddenly saw a man appear. He hurriedly hid the dagger behind himself and looked at Nie Wuhen timidly, stammering: "How did you suddenly... appear?"
"Give it to me." Nie Wuhen stretched out his hand, his face slightly gloomy.
Cassell wouldn't give it to him.
Nie Wuhen asked him what he did with the dagger, and Cassel pretended to be calm and said that he just wanted to eat some pastries and needed to cut them.
"I'll help you cut it."
"I can cut it myself."
Nie Wuhen stopped talking and just looked at Cassel. Cassel also held the dagger stubbornly and refused to do anything.
Just as they were at a stalemate, Bai Yi knocked on the door and said with a smile: "Walk around the market and see if I can find anything good."
Cassel watched helplessly as Bai Yi came in with a piece of plum cake that was bigger than his face, and put it on the table. Seeing a seed on the table, he handed it to Cassel and said, "The girl climbed over a mountain and spent a long time looking for this seed for you. Don't lose it."
Cassel reached out to take it stupidly, and Bai Yi took the opportunity to quickly pull out his dagger. His eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent: "Great, I was just worrying about how to separate these cakes! Oh, thank you so much!"
Just as Cassel was about to reach out to take it back, he silently withdrew his hand.
Bai Yi said: "I'll cut a big piece for you!"
Cassel moved his lips, retracted his wings, and said dryly: "...Okay."
Nie Wuhen took the dagger from Bai Yi's hand and said, "I'll do it."
After that, he divided the whole piece of plum cake equally, pushed it in front of Bai Yi and Cassel respectively, and said, "I don't like sweet food."
"No," Bai Yi wanted to take the dagger back, but Nie Wuhen refused to give it to him. He had no choice but to break it in half and handed it to Nie Wuhen, saying, "It's such a big piece, try it."
Nie Wuhen lowered his eyes and glanced at the cake that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, with a look of disdain on his face: "You didn't wash your hands."
Cassel, who was just about to break off half of the plum cake and hand it to Nie Wuhen, paused. He hesitated and took it back silently.
Nie Wuhen grabbed his wrist and took the cake down: "Let me try it."
Bai Yi chuckled, "He didn't wash his hands either."
"It's different," Nie Wuhen replied, "We are about to get married."
Bai Yi: “…”
Cassel pulled his hand back abruptly and lowered his head to bite the plum cake. He thought he acted very calmly, but the tips of his ears were red and hot.
