Chapter 84: The Camellia Blooms, the Person Distants Away (Part 3) A tiger

raises a dog and then trusts it... Held in someone's arms like a pet, Wen Gu stared at the dark rooftop, bewildered.

Why did this woman touch him with her lips?

Wen Gu suddenly remembered the scene he'd seen in the Boundless Strange Realm, where a man bit a woman on the mouth. Unable to restrain himself, he touched the spot she'd touched, recalling the feeling.

It was only a light touch, but it was soft, not as painful as he'd imagined. Strangely, there was a hint of sweetness.

Wen Gu stared at the girl's lips.

The moonlight after the rain, soft and gentle, seemed to carry a shimmering moisture, adding an intoxicating color to the slightly parted pink lips.

It was kind of pretty, and kind of... delicious.

Suddenly, he didn't want to kill her anymore.

Wen Gu tilted his head to look at the girl, his obsidian eyes filled with curiosity.

The secret scroll states that humans and demons who wish to cultivate to immortality need to consume abundant nourishing foods. It's also said that some mortals possess incredibly pure bodies. Consuming the magical powers of these beings greatly increases their abilities, making them even more alluring than the secret fruit of Lingzhi, often attracting the envious attention of demonic spirits. If the heavens are unforgiving, they might even allow them to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

This "pure and pure" being, presumably, refers to someone like her.

So sweet.

No wonder that foolish dragon wanted to eat her.

However, the secret scroll also states that if a sincere cultivator harbors evil thoughts and seeks to follow the path of demonic and unorthodox ways, consuming the pure essence of such beings will greatly increase their power, but ultimately lead to demonic possession and the transformation into an evil cultivator.

So what?

Ascension or not, Wen Gu didn't care. He simply wanted to become stronger, find his parents quickly, and demand to know why they had abandoned him there. If they couldn't explain, he would kill them all. After all, he was now a demon in the eyes of mortals and a scourge among cultivators.

A sinful man, yet he had become the long-lost king of demons and goblins.

After thinking it through, Wen Gu crouched down, moved closer to the girl who was still dreaming, and took a deep breath on her neck.

It smelled so good.

His eyes moved to her lips, and for some reason, Wen Gu couldn't help but lick the corner of his lips. His eyes looked at her more and more deeply, like a beast lurking in the dark, finally waiting for the prey it had been thinking about day and night and looking forward to. He

really wanted to eat it in one bite.

Wen Gu crouched lower and lower, his eyes fixed on the girl's open lips. If he moved down a little more, he would be able to lick them with the tip of his tongue.

However, before his lips landed on her face, a pair of terrified eyes met his.

He just wanted to take one more look at her face before eating her, so that he could describe it to the stupid dragon, tell it that he had eaten her, and let it give up its desire to ascend to heaven.

But who knew that as soon as his eyes left her lips, she woke up.

What

a pity.

Now that she was awake, there was no way she could strangle her neck like she was asleep and quietly wait for her fate to be eaten by him.

Wen Gu suddenly felt so bored. He

might as well kill her.

His eyes suddenly became fierce, and Wen Gu waited for the girl's next move, just waiting to kill her with one blow.

The night was light, and a little light penetrated the window lattice.

Even if he couldn't see, Ye Qingzhan could feel a burning gaze, staring at her like a beast .

If his guess was right, the boy in red woke up and had renewed his murderous intentions towards her.

The heartbeat sounded particularly strong in the gradually fading dark night. Ye Qingzhan kept comforting himself in his heart, saying to stay calm - he must not die before finding his parents. After his heartbeat stabilized, Ye Qingzhan sat up and said softly in the softest voice he had ever used: "Are you awake?"

Where was she looking?

He was clearly sitting on her left side, so why did she wake up and sit up facing the front, and speak to that place in such a sweet voice.

Wen Gu frowned and looked at the place where the girl's eyes met.

There wasn't even a ghost.

No, she could only be killed by him.

She could only watch him being killed by him.

She was not allowed to speak to the air in that voice.

"Look at me."

Like snow falling on a pine mountain, the icy voice broke the silence of the long night, unable to conceal the anger that seemed to be bursting out.

Ye Qingzhan couldn't help but shrink, and mustered up the courage to look in the direction where the voice came from.

"Sorry, I can't see, but--"

It turned out that he was blind, no wonder he couldn't look at himself. His heart suddenly relaxed, but Wen Gu didn't notice.

"But what?" Wen Gu held her shoulders with both hands and turned to him, "Look at me and talk."

Those annoying ghosts pestered him every day, asking him to call himself the Ghost King when he spoke, so that he would appear more majestic. He didn't understand what majesty was, but he didn't want to listen to ghost talk, so he went along with their wishes and asked them to get out and stop nagging. Unexpectedly, the more he spoke, the more fluent he became, and when facing her, he actually said it so naturally.

It was clearly a young boy's voice, but he chose to call himself the king in a mature tone. Ye Qingzhan found it funny and laughed out loud without realizing it.

The laugh was very gentle, with the cuteness that a young boy should have, and it reached the ears of the young "Ghost King". The Ghost King's ears turned red in an instant, and he said angrily: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Are you laughing at me?"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Qingzhan stopped laughing, "I'm not laughing anymore, don't be angry." It would have been better

if she didn't say this, because she made him even angrier. She

was obviously laughing just now, and her laugh was so beautiful, more beautiful than any voice he had heard in that place, but when she said this, her voice trembled, which clearly showed fear. What's wrong with her?

One moment she laughed at him without his consent, and the next moment she was afraid of him.

This is outrageous, it would make him mad to death!

After waiting for a long time for no answer, Ye Qingzhan asked: "What's wrong with you?"

She also asked him what was wrong?

No, he must kill her immediately, she will be mad to death

if he says one more word - Wen Gu thought so in his heart, but his body did not move.

Because Ye Qingzhan suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged him.

"Do you want me to hug you?"

This irritating woman hugged him, and asked! Who wants her to hug... It's strange, why is her body so soft, fragrant and soft, making people want to get closer.

She must be a witch! Kill her... Wen Gu said so in his heart, but his body got closer and closer.

Realizing that the person in his arms was hugging her more and more tightly, Ye Qingzhan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that her bet was right.

This young man in red could not resist her hug.

This was what she guessed before falling asleep.

Shoujing said that this man looked like a teenager. But as far as Ye Qingzhan knew, no boy, when he reached adolescence, still longed for someone's arms so much, and did not want to separate even in his dreams.

This young man must have never been hugged by others, so he did not want to let go even in his dreams.

Of course, all this was just her guess.

And there was another reason why Ye Qingzhan made up her mind to hug him. She saw his dream, or more precisely, she entered his dream, a dream that was almost like the growth of a "little beast". In

the dream, Ye Qingzhan's eyes were visible.

She came to a place where ice and fire blended, where no grass or trees grew, bones were everywhere, and ghosts could be heard crying at any time. There was a boy in black clothes, lying on the reef covered in blood, sleeping soundly on the coast of fire, his delicate eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

It seemed that at such a young age, he had so many worries that he couldn't even be at peace in his dreams.

As soon as she walked forward, the scene in front of her changed.

Ye Qingzhan watched the little boy fighting with a black dragon, emitting a constant stream of black energy. And the place where he was was changing all the time, constantly showing the boy the ugliness of the world, and laying all the grievances and hatreds nakedly in front of a child.

In such an environment, the little boy never smiled for a single day. He seemed to be accustomed to it, letting this strange place play tricks on him. His beautiful eyes lost their original brightness in this boundless chaos.

The boy looked more and more like a little beast, always holding his food with both hands when eating, just biting and gnawing. Although he was wearing clothes, they were tattered, just enough to cover his body like a savage. And when he was fighting with the black dragon, there was always a strange look in his eyes.

Ye Qingzhan saw clearly that it was not the look of a child, but more like the fierceness of two beasts fighting, determined to get their prey.

Why on earth was such a young child here? And why did he grow up like this?

Confusion and heartache flowed into her heart like a flooded river. Ye Qingzhan wanted to figure it out, but the boy grew up in an instant, walked to her side, and fell into her arms.

This time, Ye Qingzhan saw his appearance clearly.

It was him.

The young man in red who pointed a sword at her mother.

Her heart skipped a beat as Ye Qingzhan came to her senses.

She wanted to ask him why he had treated her mother like that, and whether she was alright.

But she knew she couldn't. She could sense the pervasive murderous intent emanating from him, like a web woven with swords and fed with flesh and blood, ready to devour her when the time was right.

Ye Qingzhan knew she couldn't rush in. She needed to take her time, step by step, to achieve her goal, while ensuring her own survival.

The boy's eyes reminded her of a puppy she once raised.

That puppy had grown deep in the forests of Yudie Peak. One day, for unknown reasons, it had wandered into the market in Sui'an County. It looked completely golden, with only a tuft of white fur on its back.

Ye Qingzhan had longed for a pet back then, and while wandering the streets, she took a liking to it. She bought it a steamed bun and threw it to it. It growled at her, then turned to the servant beside her, staring at the piece of raw meat in his hand.

Ye Qingzhan understood its intention and wanted to toss it a piece. Unexpectedly, the little yellow dog suddenly pounced on her when she turned around to get the meat, snatched the raw meat from the servant's hand in one bite, and started running forward.

At that time, she was more stubborn than the dog, holding on to the other half of her hand tightly, and was dragged by it to run.

Perhaps it was because of excessive panic, or perhaps it was because she was young and eager to win, and she wanted to compete with the dog. In short, Ye Qingzhan forgot to let go, and was dragged all the way to the depths of Yudie Peak. When she remembered to let go, she found that it was late and she was lost.

As Ye Qingzhan was walking, she bumped into the dog again, and saw... a tiger lying next to it.

Ye Qingzhan didn't want to recall how she felt at the time, but she only remembered that when she saw this scene, her legs were shaking like bamboo poles. When she wanted to escape from this place silently, the tiger woke up.

When their eyes met, her heart was broken.

Ye Qingzhan felt that she was going to die in the tiger's mouth tonight, but the next moment she saw the tiger use its head to butt the puppy and push it towards itself. The puppy's eyes were black and watery, as if it was crying. And the tiger lying on the ground had tears in its eyes.

Her mood was like the rolling hills, and Ye Qingzhan's trembling heart was filled with mixed emotions.

The puppy was pushed to her feet, and the tiger tilted its head to the ground and closed its eyes peacefully.

The piece of meat that she had taken from her hand was still next to its ear.

Ye Qingzhan understood immediately.

The tiger was entrusting its child to her.

After she closed her eyes, the puppy licked the tiger and cried sadly. Ye Qingzhan squatted down, wanting to touch its head, but it started barking wildly.

She was so scared that she quickly got up and started digging a hole.

A tiger raising a dog and entrusting its child to her, anyone would stand and cry.

At this moment, Ye Qingzhan should have left quietly, leaving this place where she could be killed at any time. But she could not forget the tiger's last look.

There was no attachment to life, only reluctance to leave the child.

All things have spirits, and she could not abandon them.

Ye Qingzhan wanted to dig a hole and bury the tiger.

The little dog that had been mean to her all the way seemed to understand her method, and after crying enough, it started digging the soil with its hands and feet.

Man and dog dug all night, and after burying the tiger, they fell asleep against a tree.

After waking up, Ye Qingzhan found herself lying on a broad, snow-white back. After sitting up, she found the little yellow dog lying beside her, and thought to herself that it was not a dream. She looked forward and saw Ye Shaolin standing not far away with tears streaming down his face, waving at her...

The memories of the past were all happy, and Ye Qingzhan couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at again?" He

really didn't want to endure it any longer and just wanted to kill her. Wen Gu stepped back and broke free from her arms, and the desire to kill her became stronger.

"I was wondering, what would you do if I said I still wanted to hug you? Would you be scared?"

Ye Qingzhan remembered that after returning home that day, she spent many days trying to eliminate the barriers between her and the little dog that grew up under the tiger's hands, but there was no progress. Until one day, she used meat as bait and made it fall into her arms.

The meat fell to the ground. The puppy fluttered twice in her arms, then calmed down and rested its head on her arm.

From then on, the puppy would often crawl into Ye Qingzhan's arms and let her hold it.

She thought, the boy in front of her grew up in a deformed environment, fighting with the black dragon, just like this puppy raised in the depths of the jungle, raised by a tiger. The tiger was still kind to it, but that place was extremely cruel to it.

He should need to be held more than the puppy, right?

If not, how to explain the behavior of sleeping close to her in his dreams?

Never mind, let's take a gamble.

Ye Qingzhan stretched out her hand, "You kept holding me after you fell asleep just now. Did you have a nightmare? Will holding me make you feel better? Then hold me." The hand holding the boy was trembling, just like her pounding heart at this moment.

What is she talking about? How could I be in such a thing! What is "hold", what is she talking about! This witch must be lying to me, lying to me not to kill her! But why do I feel so comfortable when she is like this...

As if it is not enough, Wen Guxu's hand on the waist of the girl in front of him suddenly covers her up, and with both hands, he holds the girl on his legs and hugs her tightly.

This is more comfortable.

Don't kill.

Wait until this is enough.
