As I fled down the mountain, bloodied and battered, I placed Boy at the doorstep of a villager's home and turned to leave.
He grabbed my arm and pulled out a Ribbon, tying it around my injured right wrist.
"I will remember you," he said with a firm tone, his gaze unwavering.
I was taken aback for a moment, then forced a dry laugh, feeling a bit unnatural.
Saving a life was already a disgrace for me; it was better if he forgot about it.
I intended to forget this incident, but who would have thought that two hundred years later, it would resurface?
Looking at Wuxin, a thought suddenly struck me, and I stared at him in disbelief. "Could it be... are you...?"
"Yes, the child you saved is indeed me."
Wuxin smiled lazily, the corners of his thin lips curling up. "Liuli, I have remembered you for two hundred years."
I was completely stunned, my mouth agape in shock.
"That night, my entire family of five, except for me, fell victim to the Wolf Demon. After you saved me, I joined Mount Shu, vowing to slay demons and monsters, yet I never forgot to seek you out."
I felt a wave of panic wash over me and stammered, "But I am a demon..."
"I know."
Wuxin looked deeply into my eyes and smiled slightly, "From the moment you saved me, I knew how an ordinary person could stand against the Wolf Demon. Although I have joined Mount Shu, I still discern right from wrong. That day in the village, I recognized you at a glance, but you had already forgotten me..."
I instantly understood, and the corners of my mouth twitched involuntarily. "So, everything was an act on your part to lure me in?"
It wasn't that Nerd was easy to deceive; it was clearly me who was easy to fool!
He raised an eyebrow with a hint of amusement. "At least you're not too foolish." I shot him a sulky glare. "Then what do you want with me?"
Wuxin gazed at me, his eyes as gentle as moonlight. "Liuli, do you know why I joined Mount Shu to cultivate immortality?"
I shook my head in confusion.
He sighed softly and reached out to touch my face, his movements tender. "I know you are a demon, and you possess a lifespan far longer than that of mortals. In the short decades of my life, I don't know if I'll have the fortune to meet you again, so I hope to cultivate myself into an immortal being, gaining a longer life and time to search for you... Fortunately, just two hundred years later, I found you again."
He... was doing all this for me...
Two hundred years—it's neither long nor short.
What merit do I have to make such a person care for me so deeply?
Can I boldly assume that he has feelings for me?
I looked at him and took his hand that rested on my cheek, nervously asking, "Nerd... do you perhaps have... feelings for me?"
He smiled faintly without answering directly and countered, "Just now, when you were so anxious about my life and death, wasn't that also a sign of your feelings for me?"
Alright... I've been seen through, and there's nothing left for me to hide. After all, he said "also," which proves that he likes me too.
But... he's an immortal, and I'm a demon. Will being together bring down divine punishment?
Thinking of this, I felt a bit timid, my eyes betraying a hint of fear.
Yet he suddenly smiled, a mischievous glint in his expression that sent a chill down my spine, filling me with an ominous premonition.
Sure enough—
He leaned closer with a grin: "Liuli, you just said that as long as I don't die, you'll agree to anything I ask?"
"Yes... and what of it?"
My sense of foreboding intensified, and I instinctively leaned back slightly.
Then he laughed, wrapping his arms tightly around me: "Then promise me you'll stay by my side forever."
Those words melted into my heart like honey.
Oh well, it doesn't matter what kind of interspecies romance this is; it probably won't end well. For this lifetime, I suppose I've fallen into his hands! A hint of helplessness mixed with sweetness appeared on my face.
