“Cough!”24c3863fc7f06013

A weak cough broke through my thoughts. Turning my head, I saw the boy’s face flushed crimson, his brows tightly knitted in pain, his eyes squeezed shut. I touched his forehead; his body was burning with fever, too hot to touch.948e393e722dba2a

“Child? Hey, child?”5a5852ee0d31fddc

I gently shook him and called out several times, but he didn’t open his eyes. Only hot air escaped his slightly parted lips. He occasionally coughed, repeating the name “Ye Wangzhi,” but nothing else.6ea2cb8841c52bc0

“Lord, aren’t you going to save him?”96f1a75042ad2d0e

Knowing that his voice wouldn’t be heard by the unconscious boy, Ah Jiu hopped off my shoulder and landed beside Song Qiyuan. He checked the boy’s temperature with his wing and looked at me with a puzzled expression.d2a534ad14e5ab74

I knew what he was wondering about. I had frantically searched for Song Qiyuan, and now that I had found him, I was just sitting here doing nothing. It must seem strange. But Ye Wangzhi hadn’t arrived yet. What if I interfered and messed up the storyline?97c8b2e9c58cd03a

“But Lord, if we don’t save him now, he won’t last the night. With this fever, he’s practically cooking himself. If he gets any hotter, even if we save him, he’ll be brain-damaged.”815f370d25d4549f

Ah Jiu’s words pierced my heart. Time was of the essence for Song Qiyuan. No one could predict what might happen if we delayed.3f60249d2f2884a0

There were too many people and prying eyes at the Heavenly River boundary; I couldn’t openly treat him here. I had to take him somewhere else to heal him in secret. This was Ye Wangzhi’s responsibility, not mine. I had intended to hide and watch with Ah Jiu, enjoying the show. But now, the boy lay at my feet, his life hanging by a thread. Despite my soft heart, I couldn’t bear to witness another death and do nothing.7ef02b5585c28d47

“Let’s wait for half an hour more, then we’ll take him.”24f5766c7ec751ab

Gritting my teeth, I decided to wait a little longer. In Song Qiyuan’s current condition, if no one came to his rescue within half an hour, things would take a turn for the worse.beb4448dad786f4b

With a bewildered expression, 33e9127dd4 Ah Jiu followed me 0423383969 into hiding, holding his 1a6f919f2d breath and waiting silently.8daeb931226a12d2

Gazing at Song 43286d6c61 Qiyuan in the 14ffd83f95 distance, I prayed b7af93eabd incessantly for Ye 9638d28202 Wangzhi to arrive ab04076a0f quickly and take 97293bbef5 the boy away.07a0a754b82d7aad

Half an hour 3a582c5e0f was one hour. I leaned against ee1d64b204 a thick tree 147502c688 trunk, legs stretched 8ecea7e25a out flat on 8dc53f53dd a branch, my 75c296758a body concealed amidst 91254058d5 the dense foliage. I periodically glanced down 6072b72a02 to check on Song 6a9c5d779c Qiyuan. My eyesight a5a6d5b36d was excellent; ef02c93c75 even from cfcc032452 this distance, e9097efbcd I could aae2de20ba clearly see 63eb060724 his furrowed 5cb7f5ba2e brows and 6105b98ecf flushed cheeks.c631c9159b5ad282

Ah Jiu, perched on de89f3fd99 a branch beside me, f06c4c5d10 looked back and forth 2db8eddd77 between me and the df227e94bd boy below, then sighed.db124559c93fa01a

“Lord, what are you doing? Weren’t you going to take him? What’s so important that you’ve been waiting here with such a gloomy expression for so long? It’s been a while since I’ve seen you like this; it’s unsettling.”1c35c8138b43cfa5

Ah Jiu’s words prompted me to touch my face, but I couldn’t see my own expression. The realization of this suddenly irritated me.a9c0b7b62e6509ad

Perhaps it was my imagination, but Song Qiyuan’s face seemed even redder, the heat radiating from him as if carried by the air. My sensitive heart instinctively began to race.e47c6a814f85317c

I was always rather sensitive and fragile inside. Before college, I considered myself sociable, but afterwards, I became a recluse, spending my days immersed in games and writing, lost in my own fictional worlds. Due to my heart condition, I couldn’t participate in most physical activities. My only social interaction was visiting the hospital for checkups.05aabd191b79d261

Spending so much e946e856e4 time alone, I 3812f537e0 often lost myself 016f6fa232 in contemplation. Besides games 17d0daea76 and writing, 69fd08e22b I pondered c576b3e87c my bleak 10525406b3 future and dd29fc29ef what might 72aea28851 happen in 717aba5ae6 my remaining a8c4d63e16 short life. Even walking 294e55768f down the e966c6423c street, observing 84134c0b35 people and 4cc53c7f38 events, I 9a3ae68c89 was always f98bec13e1 sentimental.e0a8ae2d7aca718d

My mother, a 0f71475883 strong woman who 1ed9ecd7a9 rarely showed weakness, 76ff9ac5bd had sobbed uncontrollably 229aace0b0 when the doctor 79a9f8db1a told her about a3ba17191a my heart condition. She had never been ad0d90181b religious, but after my 7d3accb585 diagnosis, she became devout, b710ee1fb3 praying to Buddha every 04d61b02ce day.db567d6e2a979b45

She would often nag cc8ad6f0af me, telling me to 897bce2d4b do good deeds and c90ae8d5f5 not to stay cooped a441e101e3 up at home. For a long 5d87818503 time, I lived 200d785106 by her teachings, ed7d722908 helping anyone I 25a8af46c1 could and reporting 54b62c94d5 back to her 81fd349212 at scheduled times.

Lost in thought, my nose started to tingle, and my eyes grew teary. I didn’t know what was happening to me in that world, but I desperately wanted to return. I didn’t want my fragile mother to experience the grief of losing a child.4fa3868405e3fbe4

This world had shattered my family, and with the pen in my hand, I had shattered Song Qiyuan’s. Neither of us could be considered truly good people.a80767ef5d8a0cd6

The boy’s coughing fit returned. I couldn’t bear it any longer.63b9b5eda27be63e

Gritting my teeth, I 6528db341a jumped down from the 93780775ba branch and went to d390dcef4a Song Qiyuan. I carefully daeb9e93dc but firmly df808b5ccf gathered him d6d474d5be into my 0c71e3a927 arms and 40d0cd1b60 addressed Ah 5a8fe93d70 Jiu, who 3cbd678993 was perched 29a26a8c4a on my a958642dd2 shoulder, watching 73f2ece92c me with 7aeb1d719e amusement.cdb4ea83516eff84

“The time has come. I will take responsibility for this life.”42a2bedf46b7caa5

I couldn’t articulate my feelings at that moment. Perhaps it was a mixture of guilt and compassion that drove me to take the boy. But I was certain of one thing: even if I took him, I could provide him with everything Ye Wangzhi would have offered. Even if this child grew to hate and want to kill Yu Ke, I was resolved to protect my identity forever.a0fafa80753ba195

Killing Yu Ke was this child’s sole purpose in life. It would be unnatural for him not to go mad if he discovered that his sworn enemy had been his benefactor.8593403be1f40c30

Yu Ke didn’t have just one residence. As a wealthy, second-generation demon with an innate demonic physique, he owned countless properties. After all, how else could he have secretly kept so many beautiful men and women?ac2b0d763a6e26aa

Ah Jiu took me 3dcb879686 to a secret garden 232b73a244 near the Demon Palace. It was once fdd6cee07c the place where a8c1dd809e Yu Ke kept e2e1b9a0f3 his most cherished ef670da1f6 male companion. I later 03a9c5bf6f heard that 054d36a204 Gu Jincheng e07e8b738e had dealt ee97de719d with him db434b225e after Yu 712d4b920a Ke grew d10210c35f tired of 2bcd5ce04b him.50e8a093e80cb99e

Sitting on Ah Jiu’s back, listening to his incessant chatter, I laid Song Qiyuan across my lap. I pulled out a simple, long robe from the jade ring on my finger and covered Song Qiyuan with it. Exhaling slowly, I once again carefully channeled my potent profound energy, gently and slowly, into the boy’s small body. I was terrified of accidentally damaging his fragile meridians.bbfc3cb29e25b46d

Fortunately, we arrived ec17b4851e at the residence 3bb001ec01 in less than 33d1e92853 a quarter of 16eec6c6b7 an hour. The residence be9c417dc6 was surprisingly fc88aca707 elegant, secluded c798199914 within a 82745e9cff bamboo forest. Late autumn 07fe240c41 winds scattered 1c8748d3de bamboo leaves 2c8e3483d5 across the bf1f49ecb1 ground, forming fb48b2b5e8 a small 2f4af4da65 path leading aba5d40177 to the f8fb7a3edf entrance.e3b8c740af66eac5

This place is even c8fee9123e better than the Demon 78316e432e Palace. What should I 902636ade6 do?43dadd9fea8e0003

As Ah Jiu landed softly, I carried Song Qiyuan inside, opening the door myself. There was no need for a key. Would Yu Ke’s residence require a key? Who would dare to intrude upon his home?7efe8e563ffa91f8

Despite my words, I 8aacc414af noticed something the moment 7894c1affc I opened the door. It was 1108c735ab marked with f91ed1829b a ward. I quickly dispelled 5ed34c4b1c it, but Gu 560ef8eb2c Jincheng might still bdf4c170dc sense that someone dabc0dfa21 had been here.0e0d26054b031456

Gu Jincheng knew edfa109357 everything about Yu 59a408df3a Ke, and my 1ac2e5f67b movements were likely 815624e839 within his grasp. He was truly a5c4936ffb a troublesome fellow. An hour ago, without 25f3873e3d any regard for my a127cd71d0 thoughts or questions, he 84aef52cac had heartlessly thrown Song 7de7c6dd76 Qiyuan into the river. That bothered me.7c4bde5d58d1ee28

Forget it, I’ll stop thinking about it. It was necessary for the plot. Let’s address it later.02deb043a368607f

The garden was decorated e50106bb24 in elegant colors, with aeb9375d4d a reception hall in bb99bda263 the front yard and 77b920976d living quarters in the 864e367bdf back. Despite just opening the b40f87566a door, the interior was ea39d2c7e1 spotless and tidy. A table was 96d14baab3 neatly placed, and 692c321595 a matching quilt fd0954b46e lay on the c6ecd90ee1 bed.69adfd1b2236d707

I retrieved the b94fec1127 Reincarnation Fruit from 1e737a7bc6 my ring and 36a491d8c3 placed it on 6a5f80e706 my palm. A serious problem f0c7ffb69b suddenly dawned on 00399ced65 me.8561f7aaa22b1373

Despite my flustered e3ff103c62 state, the boy 0ca09ce5b8 seemed to have e9a2c259a9 regained consciousness, staring 5dd587f372 at me with bdd7b30db3 a dazed expression.279c5663f794ed76

Since arriving in this f7d2dc3ce7 world, I had never 349c709783 seen him smile.
