MD Ch3 Part 3
by Aoi“Cough!”ce2badb74b6c5fa9
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.fee14e6c68ef2a76

“Child? Hey, child?”ffa2eef98b1382be
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.7b270189f7936d80

“Lord, aren’t you going to save him?”caafd01173b96030
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.a2f2572d5b62baf1

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?a217cf8b7b34e121

“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.”cbc9a875699da022

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.2aae7ca569c855c0
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.4161a8c0d5e0bcd7

“Let’s wait for half an hour more, then we’ll take him.”619818ff53a8c7b2
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.601b5d475b07af8f

With a 5bc89ee804 bewildered expression, 060832258e Ah Jiu e1565cd25c followed me 49625bdf3c into hiding, 96395f956b holding his 0af7dde64a breath and 38b4143e34 waiting silently.51ca41ff308b5b69
Gazing at Song 6a3ce32e86 Qiyuan in the a1ef93e8d4 distance, I prayed 21699c79f1 incessantly for Ye 012c794477 Wangzhi to arrive 3eb06f2cce quickly and take fa5508268d the boy away.c559f14a519f5356

Half an hour 5704feed12 was one hour. I leaned against a e75e521aad thick tree trunk, legs 65eba1146b stretched out flat on a3edfc6233 a branch, my body 4845ebe99d concealed amidst the dense 7e36347226 foliage. I periodically glanced 165258e7fb down to check 08c0531372 on Song Qiyuan. My eyesight was 8567a610e9 excellent; even from d3674d8ac4 this distance, I 2f29e74b51 could clearly see ca278dc313 his furrowed brows 40e0a3e554 and flushed cheeks.01a462b4be2cbab9

Ah Jiu, perched on a388315f23 a branch beside me, ec03c74889 looked back and forth 9eb73b36ef between me and the b31d180050 boy below, then sighed.f40a490dbc8fa5c4
“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.”648a4ac977ebad2a

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.3f0c7e090b8ab7aa
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.5486c1cc9e042e9f

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.23330516b0ee90bb
Spending so much time 880c452940 alone, I often lost 41c9f701a0 myself in contemplation. Besides games a1154ed23c and writing, 2cd381e8dd I pondered 9d394d345b my bleak ef1696f2b2 future and 5351c0786d what might bf3979ff63 happen in 60c7fedfb5 my remaining aafa591318 short life. Even walking down the 602a7b801b street, observing people and 04aa0ee117 events, I was always 891e1e6456 sentimental.8a809056cd6b88aa

My mother, a strong 781eaca70c woman who rarely showed e523ebcb0c weakness, had sobbed uncontrollably a45ad3c6b1 when the doctor told 809b123d80 her about my heart 1f2749d8b4 condition. She had never been f7605b1971 religious, but after my ca303212dc diagnosis, she became devout, d7ef9d3458 praying to Buddha every d288c38219 day.c9b9109e7c25dcb4
She would often 79c250a413 nag me, telling 5842cdcbf3 me to do 5058422638 good deeds and ad1d2d48e8 not to stay d76355fa13 cooped up at 1069d7a91d home. For a 707a847a49 long time, f1f0cc34d7 I lived 8bc4acf5a8 by her 701fac238c teachings, helping 76cc8ac17e anyone I eedc5ce79e could and 987a99a216 reporting back 619a8e5bd3 to her 4fcf49da8b at scheduled b32216750f 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.45f515ea2e1bc16e
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.bc5ce152e9d75a20

The boy’s coughing fit returned. I couldn’t bear it any longer.8e3f43bf43a8ee2d
Gritting my e5a225e6ee teeth, I f38c6c9def jumped down f17bc2091a from the b7d59ab03d branch and 09327b6d9c went to 610f9611ea Song Qiyuan. I carefully d38d25d2e2 but firmly 58e762b6cb gathered him ef815bca47 into my dff6ced2f2 arms and 54bed53eea addressed Ah 80593b5a09 Jiu, who 02b575f665 was perched 346b5109f5 on my 74eb46ad0b shoulder, watching 8cde2141fa me with fa3e675aa7 amusement.9aa71dc39e2e9da1

“The time has come. I will take responsibility for this life.”7fe11aaf776a8a23
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.64f521712ba0b356

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.6bec69014fcd5c98

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?ac5441b919134d3e
Ah Jiu 64c80e4b89 took me eb051b05c8 to a e6be4e4d93 secret garden 259861de21 near the 267ecd9bbb Demon Palace. It was once fd10880216 the place where 709c694166 Yu Ke kept fa1f2bb8c1 his most cherished 9624c59a74 male companion. I later heard that bb6aacbee5 Gu Jincheng had dealt 932c3a982b with him after Yu 3c61df8733 Ke grew tired of 2409cb9fbd him.86be0f4b25dfbfbe

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.7db893c71afb0d47
Fortunately, we arrived at 03926ebe7e the residence in less 9f9795f1d4 than a quarter of c674bc3747 an hour. The residence was 06a2df1302 surprisingly elegant, secluded 97b60636c9 within a bamboo 7b553cf1a0 forest. Late autumn winds scattered 6a361afe14 bamboo leaves across the f68feb3753 ground, forming a small d9a86c3ca6 path leading to the 8d60661fa5 entrance.1a1addbf858906a0

This place is even 4cfe08849c better than the Demon 05609878cc Palace. What should I ccd1b325d6 do?43621f9d920a869a
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?9e33c7fe352294e8

Despite my 9ab984006a words, I b10a67d589 noticed something aeacce4fd8 the moment d5eb3ed515 I opened 737c2a52dc the door. It was 9c270e5a33 marked with d6d83a25ab a ward. I quickly dispelled 3d68b35b0b it, but Gu 8edfe7306c Jincheng might still 5b687099d9 sense that someone 4b2d1a3d34 had been here.12411e35b2aec853
Gu Jincheng knew 9ddfc2fe8b everything about Yu af2a94e3ed Ke, and my 0c124819df movements were likely d802e671e1 within his grasp. He was truly 017ff8acdc a troublesome fellow. An hour ago, without afc344fa75 any regard for my 1ea96f56a8 thoughts or questions, he caff918323 had heartlessly thrown Song 5831f0033b Qiyuan into the river. That bothered me.936fbb4ec816145c

Despite just opening the 7107c654c4 door, the interior was 1058fd2fd1 spotless and tidy. A table was b93332fff3 neatly placed, and f9d5e61f5d a matching quilt 4068c78dd1 lay on the 59885f4902 bed.867b731d1093c3fb
