Chapter 63
The three of them reached the top of the cloud the next day. The head of Yundian Sect has been replaced by an old man who used to be subordinate to the head of the sect. The new leader smiled, nodded to Nie Wuhen and Bai Yi, and congratulated Sword Master on eliminating his inner demons, while asking if the trip went well.
Nie Wuhen didn't say much. After two "hmms", Bai Yi responded with a smile. He just put forward some of his own views and ideas when the new leader proposed the governance of Yundian, and drew a map in front of the new leader.
He drew circles and dots on it with a brush, and finally pointed to a place, saying that this was the best place to set up the barrier. The demon clan is not a force to be reckoned with nowadays, after all, they are in great chaos internally, but the demon clan is different.
The demons suffered a loss last time, and according to their vengeful nature, they will definitely seek revenge. Now that he has not taken any action yet, I'm afraid he is waiting for Nie Wuhen to come back.
As for why he didn't do anything in the mortal world...
Probably resting and recuperating.
Cassel sat aside, tilting his head to listen to what Nie Wuhen said. He had grown a lot, and had been with Nie Wuhen and Bai Yi for such a long time, so naturally he could understand some of it.
The conversation lasted from day to night, and halfway through, Nie Wuhen even said that he wanted to send Cassel back first, but Cassel shook his head and refused. Finally, after the three of them finished chatting and exchanged pleasantries, they were about to go out.
Cassel stretched himself, grunted, and followed Nie Wuhen directly towards Yuanqi Pavilion.
Nie Wuhen asked him if he was tired.
Cassell replied that he was not tired.
It is already autumn now. It's a clear and crisp autumn day, with sparse shadows of trees slanting across the ground. The water shines with scattered light under the moonlight, like broken silver.
Bai Yi said he had something else to do and left first, so only Cassel and Nie Wuhen were left on this path.
Cassel naturally reached out and grabbed Nie Wuhen. Nie Wuhen shook his hand back, slowed down his pace, and walked side by side with Cassel.
"The moon here is so big and so bright," Cassel started the conversation, "It doesn't exist in Devil's Hell. But there is a tower where I secretly climbed up without telling Barbatos. The moon there is exactly the same as the moon now."
Nie Wuhen nodded: "Yes."
“…”Caselle tilted his head to look at him.
Nie Wuhen pursed his lips and added: "Exactly the same. We are looking at the same moon."
Cassel was suspicious: "If they are not from the same world, can the moon we are looking at be the same?"
"Then I want to see the moon in your world," Nie Wuhen held Cassel's hand tightly and said, "I want to see it with you."
"My world..." Cassel thought of the devil's hell, and then sighed, "Then we have to climb to a very high place."
"I can take you up there," Nie Wuhen replied, "We can sit on that tower you mentioned and watch the moon together."
Cassel blinked, as if imagining the scene, but the smile in his eyes faded. He didn't know if he would have this opportunity.
"It would be great if you could go to my world," Cassel said dejectedly, his eyebrows lowered, "I can also take you to see Barbatos... Although he is a demon, I like Barbatos..."
"..." Nie Wuhen asked back, "Then do you like me?"
“I like it.”
"You can only like one person," Nie Wuhen decided to correct his thoughts, "You can only say you like someone if you want to get married."
"But this preference is different." Cassel explained. He stopped and turned to look at Nie Wuhen, who also stopped and listened to him patiently.
"Friends can like someone, Barbatos can like someone, but that's not the way I like you," Cassel stood on tiptoe, grabbed Nie Wuhen's clothes, leaned over and kissed his lips gently, and continued to explain, "I may like you like this, but I won't like them like this."
Nie Wuhen froze for a moment, then he put his arm around Cassel's waist, forcing him to get close to him. He gently touched Cassel's nose with the tip of his nose and said in a low voice, "I understand..."
"I'm glad you understand." Cassel kissed his face, but his chin was pinched and his face was lifted up.
The moon was overhead, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, making the snow-white wings look even more holy, like those of an angel or a god.
He is kissing his angel.
He was kissing his god.
The three of them returned to the top of the cloud and resumed their original lives. Sometimes Cassel planted flowers and watered them, sometimes he followed Bai Yi to make pills, and if all else failed, he would follow Nie Wuhen to practice.
But after practicing once, I never went there again.
Bai Yi wanted to give him some pills, but Cassel refused to take them no matter what. However, he had also learned how to identify medicinal herbs, so he would not eat any food with the slightest medicinal smell. Even if it was a candied haws, he would spit it out halfway through.
Cassel didn't like these. Instead, he was thinking about what kind of medicinal herbs could make him grow small antennae, make all his feathers fall off, and remove the two extra wings.
At first he thought about cutting it off directly and then plucking the feathers. But that night, after all the trouble, Nie Wuhen pulled the curtain, kissed his little wings passionately, and asked him if he wanted to pluck the feathers. He can help.
Cassel looked like he had been pulled out of the water at that time. He couldn't even open his eyes, but he had to deal with Nie Wuhen's words. There was no other way, so he just said he wanted to pull it out, and then he felt a stinging pain on his wings.
A big hand pinched his face, pinching Cassel's cheeks, and Nie Wuhen bit the place near the base of the wings. Cassel cried immediately, and said in a trembling voice that he didn't want it anymore and it hurt.
What did Nie Wuhen say at that time? Plucking feathers was more painful than this. You can't stand my kiss. It hurts so much to have your wings cut off. What will you do?
Looking back, Cassell still finds it difficult to talk about it. But he won't give up. He is a little devil, a real little devil. The tentacles are his symbol. He will eventually change back.
As for going home...
Cassel also thought it through more clearly. Since people from the two worlds can meet each other, it means that there is something that can connect the two time and space, but he just hasn't found it.
There was no need for him to force Nie Wuhen to become a demon and complete the task of stopping the war between immortals and demons. Cassel thought, anyway, he is not in a hurry, the tentacles haven't grown yet, how can he dare to go home in his current state?
When Nie Wuhen entered the room, he saw Cassel sitting on a chair, drawing something with a pen. He drew for a while, stopped for a while, and then began to daydream, with his brows almost twisted together.
Nie Wuhen walked lightly over to see what Cassel was drawing, but before he got close, Cassel saw him.
"Why are you here?" Cassel put down his pen and looked at him curiously.
"I came because I missed you." Nie Wuhen walked over and took a look down - it was much better than before, a black mass, but at least it could be seen as a monster.
"Oh," Cassel touched his nose shyly, then showed him his work excitedly, saying, "Look at the little devil I drew. Well, this is what I looked like before."
Nie Wuhen: “…”
Cassel asked him, "Does it look good?"
For the first time, Nie Wuhen found it so difficult to speak: "... Yeah."
Cassel put the painting away with satisfaction, picked up another piece of paper, looked at Nie Wuhen with bright eyes, and suggested that he should draw one for Nie Wuhen as well.
Nie Wuhen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll draw it for you."
Cassel's eyes widened: "Really"
Nie Wuhen assured that what he said was true. He walked over, sat next to Cassel, picked up the brush next to him, and dipped it in ink.
Cassel asked him if he wanted to pose in front of him so that he could draw him. Nie Wuhen replied that it was not necessary, so Cassel sat next to him and ground the ink while looking at the painting.
Not long after, the painting was completed. The image of Cassel comes to life on the page. He was so happy that he went over and blew hard on the ink that had not yet dried, saying it looked very beautiful. He also said that Nie Wuhen was amazing, because Barbatos couldn't draw, but Nie Wuhen could.
Nie Wuhen said he benefited a lot from it. He lowered his head and drew a few more pictures. The last one was a scene of him and Cassel walking together. The moon on the paper seemed to jump out. Cassel opened his mouth in surprise, praised Nie Wuhen, and even leaned over to kiss Nie Wuhen's face.
Nie Wuhen put the painting aside, looked at Cassel who looked very proud, and said, "Aren't you thinking about Barbatos? Tell me, and I'll draw it for you."
"Can you draw him without ever meeting him?" Cassel was puzzled.
“You describe, I draw.”
Cassel thought for a moment and began to describe: "He's about the same height as you, with green eyes and long white hair..."
He described it in great detail, and when he finished speaking, he saw that Nie Wuhen had also finished drawing. Cassel subconsciously looked at it and suddenly froze.
Nie Wuhen's heart skipped a beat. He painted it just as Cassell said, even drawing the freckles on the face, but who would have known that the image he ended up painting was of a muscular man. He thought it was too outrageous that such a person would cry in front of Cassel...
"Nie Wuhen," Cassel sniffed, carefully took the painting, lowered his head to look at it, and even his voice trembled, "Thank you."
Nie Wuhen put down his brush, lowered his head and kissed his eyes: "Don't cry..."
"I'll take you out to play, okay?"
Cassell was naturally happy. Ever since he left Yuanqi Pavilion twice and met those who wanted to kill him, Cassel became cautious and refused to go out. Even when Bai Yi asked him to go out and play, he refused.
But if it was Nie Wuhen who asked him to go out, Cassel thought it was still okay.
Using an invisibility spell to cover his wings, Cassel followed Nie Wuhen down the mountain. In the past, when there was a demonic aura, he couldn’t learn Yun Dian’s spells, but now that the demonic aura is gone, Cassel can use the spells that Nie Wuhen taught him.
Still at the foot of the clouds.
Cassel went ahead to get what he wanted, and Nie Wuhen followed closely behind him, helping him pay and take the things. There was basically nothing there, just some food. When they reached the place where monsters were sold, Cassel directly bought a dirty rabbit and handed it to Nie Wuhen.
Nie Wuhen looked at the rabbit that was almost rolling in the mud, and said in silence: "Do you really want to buy it?"
"I was attracted to it at first sight," Cassel nodded solemnly and gave his reasons, "It felt very familiar to me, just like Barbatos."
Nie Wuhen: "... Can't you really change to a cleaner one?"
Cassel held the rabbit in his arms and wiped the dirt off its body, rubbing himself all over with mud. The rabbit was very well behaved and didn't move. Cassel softened his heart and said, "But I like it..."
Nie Wuhen accepted his fate: "Okay."
