It's over, it's over! I'm doomed! I thought to myself in panic, desperately trying to break free from the Nerd's grasp. My body struggled and twisted in his arms as I attempted to escape.
To my surprise, the Die-hard Nerd held me tightly, not allowing me to slip away even a little, his arms firmly wrapped around me.
Die-hard Nerd, are you trying to kill me?
"Fox Demon?" The Nerd smiled leisurely, his demeanor as refined and elegant as ever, with a hint of ethereal grace. His face remained calm and composed.
"My friend seems to be overly concerned; this is just a fox I have tamed. It won't harm anyone."
The Mount Shu Disciple was taken aback by this and scrutinized the Nerd for a moment before cautiously asking, "May I know your esteemed name?"
The Nerd replied with a slight smile, "I am Ye Wuxin."
Upon hearing this, the Mount Shu Disciple immediately showed a respectful expression and bowed deeply again, saying, "So it is Zhenren Wuxin. I was rude."
Wuxin... Zhenren?!
I stood there in shock for quite some time, unaware of when the Mount Shu Disciple had left. The words "Zhenren Wuxin" echoed in my mind.
Zhenren Wuxin, he is the renowned elder from Mount Shu!
It is said that he achieved immortality in just sixty years and then descended the mountain to wander the world.
No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I first heard his name; how could I have not realized it sooner?
In that moment, a wave of despair washed over me, leaving me feeling hopeless and disillusioned. How could I have set my sights on an immortal? What was worse was that I had developed feelings for him. What kind of sin was this?!
“Liuli, it's time to settle our accounts, don’t you think?”
Zhenren Wuxin raised his beautifully arched eyebrows, looking at me with a smile that held a hint of mischief.
I didn’t know when I had returned to my human form, but as I gazed at that incredibly familiar face, tears streamed down my cheeks in an instant. “Zhenren Wuxin, I was wrong! I promise I won’t try to absorb anyone’s essence again. Please spare my life!”
I couldn’t help but tremble slightly, fear etched across my face.
Zhenren Wuxin looked at me, a glimmer of amusement flashing in his eyes. “Silly Liuli, if I wanted to take you, why would I have helped you just now?”
I paused for a moment, realization dawning on me, yet I still felt apprehensive. “But… you are an elder of Mount Shu. How could you possibly help a mere Fox Demon like me? It doesn’t make sense!”
Suddenly, Zhenren Wuxin's gaze deepened as he stared at me intently before lowering his eyes to the ribbon tied around my right wrist. He smiled leisurely. “Liuli, don’t you remember? Two hundred years ago, you saved a child who was about to fall into the Wolf's Mouth.”
I was taken aback, staring into his dark jade-like eyes as the memory resurfaced.
At that time, I happened to pass by the neighboring mountain and accidentally stumbled upon a group of Wolf Demons surrounding some people. A few had already been bitten to death, and amidst the pool of blood stood a boy with delicate features. Surprisingly calm and composed in such a dire situation, he showed no signs of fear or tears—truly a rare sight.
Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be long before he too would meet his end.
It is better to avoid trouble than to seek it. Just as I was about to pretend I hadn't seen anything and walk away, the Boy glanced in my direction.
His bright eyes were like black jade, dark yet clear.
In that moment, I lost my composure, and my body instinctively rushed forward, saving him from the jaws of a wolf with swift and decisive action.
At that time, I was still just a Little Demon who had recently taken on human form. Facing a group of Wolf Demons, escaping was no easy feat, and I found myself panting heavily.
