I fell in love with you at first sight...
Newly married...
Leng Can actually said that they were... newlyweds.
Cong Mo felt that the rice he was chewing had become several times more fragrant. He lowered his head, his ears reddened, and said, "Don't be sad."
"How can I not be sad..."
Cong Mo covered his hand, not looking at him, but spoke softly, "Today, I'm going to the demon prison to ask about the big demon I captured today, and then I'll go back."
Cong Mo treated him too submissively, agreeing with him and doing what he said. Even if she was extremely reluctant in her heart, she would turn her face away, turn her head, and then whisper her agreement after he coaxed her.
Cong Mo treated him so well, as if she really liked him, as if... they were a real couple.
Leng Can's mind was in a mess, and he suddenly felt embarrassed. He licked his sore lips and looked away shyly. He couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his lips. His hands trembled, "I... um."
"I'll be waiting for you in the mansion. Come back soon..."
"……good."
"Why did you hurt people on the street today?" After supervising the soldiers' training in the afternoon, Cong Mo thought that Leng Can was still waiting for her, so she came to the demon prison early to ask the big demon.
The demon, whose entire body was black, slowly moved its body. In the pitch darkness, two pairs of extremely beautiful green eyes lit up. Upon hearing this, it bared its two sharp fangs and said, "They captured my child and broke one of his legs. Why can't I kill them?"
"You can come find me."
"Will you make the decision for me?" The demon's voice was shrill as he slowly approached her.
"I will save your child."
"Haha... a human?" The green eyes swiveled around, as if realizing who was in front of him. "Could it be that you are the legendary Cong Mo, the Demon Master?"
Cong Mo looked calm and nodded, "That's right."
The great demon snorted loudly, twisting its body and revealing a smile. "Rumor has it in the demon world that you are the only one who doesn't treat demons with prejudice. Now... I seem to understand why."
This was a profound and unfathomable statement, and Cong Mo didn't want to dwell on it any further. "I've already sent your child back to where the demon group lives, but you've hurt more than one person. One demon against one person, you've caused multiple injuries and three deaths. You must be punished. You must serve time in the demon prison, and your demonic power must be reduced before you can be released."
"How is my child?"
"The demon group will treat him well." Cong Mo stood up and was about to leave. "You suffered in prison..."
"Haha..." The big demon suddenly laughed, its slimy body moving around in the prison. "This is a world of humans. It's hard for demons to survive in this world. The demon next to you has found a good place."
Cong Mo paused, "What does this mean?"
The demon approached the fence, coiled its tail around a tall pillar, and placed its face between the gaps between them. "I speak simply, you should know that."
"You have a strong smell of a demon. You are very close to him, and he has a strong possessiveness towards you. He seems to be..."
"...a young male snake demon."
"Stop talking nonsense." Cong Mo frowned and shouted loudly.
In her mind, she instantly searched for a possible person. Just as the big demon said, there had never been such a close person around her.
"I'm not kidding. We humans can smell something you humans can't, but we can smell it very clearly," the demon continued. "It has a dark green body and is a rare species. Although spring has passed, it's still young and can't control its estrus. You never know when it will emerge. It's extremely clingy and will always want to follow you and won't leave. You'll have to be prepared."
He sneered, "I never thought that the most powerful demon master in the human world would have such a close demon companion... Haha... It's really a joke. But I never thought that we demons would have to rely on humans to survive, haha..."
What it said didn't sound false, and there was no need to lie to her.
Cong Mo's chest heaved violently. He raised his sword and stabbed his tail. "If you say another word, I will kill you."
The demon quickly retreated, disappearing into the darkness, leaving only one final sentence: "He endured much pain for you, but humans and demons have different paths, and it is difficult for them to reach the same destination."
Humans and demons have different paths...
When Cong Mo returned to the mansion, his head was confused, and only these four words were circling in his mind.
Is it really impossible for humans and demons to be together?
Since ancient times, there has indeed been no such thing as humans and demons being able to cross the sea together.
Not knowing what she was thinking about, she suddenly came back to her senses, shook her head, smiled helplessly, saw the restaurant next to her, and went in.
right,
Humans and demons really can't be together.
"Why are you back so late? It's already dark and my cousin has gone to bed, but you just came back. Don't you want to see me?" Leng Can saw her come back and hurried over to complain to her, "You smell like alcohol, ma'am, have you been drinking?"
"No." Cong Mo shook his head. "I'm busy with official duties. Since I promised you, I did it out of my heart. Coming back late today is not voluntary."
She shook the peach blossom wine in her hand and said, "What you smell is its flavor."
"I'm glad you didn't drink behind my back." Leng Can took the peach blossom wine and looked around. There were four heavy bottles of white porcelain with some patterns engraved on them. "Why did you suddenly think of buying this?"
"You made peach blossom pastry today, so I naturally thought of this peach blossom wine." Cong Mo took the initiative to hold his hand, "I haven't tasted it yet, and I want you to try it."
Holding the soft hand with many calluses on the fingertips, Leng Can felt a little weak. Even in the illusion, Cong Mo never let himself live in luxury, but experienced things as in the real world. He felt sorry for her.
But he was very happy that she took the initiative to hold his hand.
What happened? Why did Cong Mo suddenly become so proactive? Could it be...
Leng Can's ears turned red.
Could it be that I fell in love with him?
"I really want to try it." Leng Can pulled her harder and rubbed her fingers with his. "Do you want to taste the wine with me?"
Cong Mo nodded vigorously, "Yes, I'll accompany you."
Leng Can's unhappy mood due to the long wait immediately dissipated, and he jumped up happily, "Then how about we not go home until we are drunk tonight?"
"Yeah, okay."
The delicious food that Leng Can had prepared early was all simmering in the pot, waiting for Cong Mo to come back before cooking.
"It's still warm. You've been busy all day, eat more." Leng Can warmed up the wine and served Cong Mo a lot of dishes, wishing he could feed her with his own hands.
Watching her eat, I felt happy too.
The wine was not served until halfway through the meal. Leng Can poured it for her. They both drank a few glasses, and as the atmosphere became more charming, they both felt dizzy.
Cong Moyou was watching Leng Can's double image. He squinted his eyes, trying to distinguish which one was the real Leng Can. "Why, there are so many, which one is the real one?"
She blinked and reached out to grab it, but missed and almost fell down. She was saved by Leng Can holding her waist.
The distance between them suddenly shortened, their eyes met, their noses touched, and their breaths were filled with the aroma of peach blossom wine.
What is revealed in the eyes are each other's eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth...
Leng Can couldn't stand it. All he could think about was the sticky and comfortable feeling of their lips licking each other in the morning, which made him feel hot all over.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, he held his breath, and pulled her waist closer. Cong Mo was only surprised for a moment, and subconsciously raised her hand to support his arm, and then calmly accepted everything he wanted to do and did without any resistance.
The two bodies were pressed tightly together, with almost no gap between them.
Leng Can rubbed her nose with his nose, and called out tenderly, "Xiao Mo, I..."
"Don't talk, I want to talk first..." Cong Mo raised his hand and covered his mouth. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he seemed to muster up great courage, swallowed his saliva, and blushed. "Leng Can, Mr. Leng, I fell in love with you at first sight."
"?"
Leng Can's eyes widened in shock. What did he just hear? Love at first sight...
Was his mind confused, or was he too eager and having auditory hallucinations?
"W-what?" Tears blurred his eyes. Leng Can's lips trembled as he tightly grasped her hand. "W-what do you mean? Can you please explain it more clearly? I, I didn't hear you clearly, or maybe I was hallucinating."
"I'm not hallucinating. My feelings towards you are..." Cong Mo took a deep breath and looked into his eyes intently. "I fell in love at first sight. The first time I saw you, I was... happy. Happy about my unfamiliar feelings for you."
An emotion she had never felt before, let alone understood, exploded in her chest, filling her heart.
Now, she should understand.
It was as if fate had destined her to meet Leng Can.
It had just rained in the capital those days, and the military camp was mostly covered in muddy ground, leaving footprints wherever you stepped.
Smelling the scent of rain mixed with soil, Cong Mo couldn't help feeling annoyed as he had no chance to train today.
I hate rainy days.
She came to this conclusion for herself.
It was also suppressing the children's nature to lock them up in the house to learn theoretical knowledge, so she gave the children in the military camp a day off and let them go home to rest. When everyone was packing their bags to go home, they heard rustling sounds coming from the ground, like mice digging holes.
But how could a little mouse cause such a big commotion? They hurried to report it to Cong Mo.
Cong Mo was driving his horse. He immediately realized something was wrong when he heard this. He hurriedly rode forward and saw that after lifting the haystack, the person crawling out from the ground was not a burrowing rat or a man-eating monster, but a handsome man.
He seemed extremely excited when he saw the sunlight, as if he was happy that they had finally found the place. She saw the dirt on his cheek, but he still smiled with joy.
And when he raised his face to look at her, she saw not fear but joy in his eyes.
He actually felt happy to see her.
Cong Mo had never seen such a person before.
He said his name was Leng Can, and he said she was his wife, but Cong Mo could not hear anything except her own heartbeat. She walked in front, leading the horse, and her whole body was emitting heat. Fortunately, it was a rainy day, and the cold wind blowing in the gloomy weather could blow away the heat from her body.
She found that she didn't hate rainy days that much.
