“Cough!”47b297f41072b746

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.8bc3553c5f31b268

“Child? Hey, child?”9f2f893d3802f6b1

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.b7f62ed964a7cd6a

“Lord, aren’t you going to save him?”a6c3bed9b0aa0795

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.4b39c3e997499b50

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?00994ce13bace70c

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.060e45b7d8ab7ef7

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.e85e85f84e3ebab0

“Let’s wait for half an hour more, then we’ll take him.”708d942fbc6d697a

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.e993594ade34a7e1

With a bewildered expression, 4d1781473f Ah Jiu followed me 9c9a745ee9 into hiding, holding his 38fd152992 breath and waiting silently.9ff532a9f62e63da

Gazing at 738c647411 Song Qiyuan 06f9e79b4a in the 0dd039723f distance, I de6267e4db prayed incessantly 5957258fab for Ye 9aedd7e98d Wangzhi to df186b4ed0 arrive quickly 1761eaf42f and take e86808581e the boy 720e7f0722 away.7c23cbf13cad9c4a

Half an hour 653d36539c was one hour. I leaned against 0a310c8981 a thick tree 2d3a3891a1 trunk, legs stretched 4d45c56abc out flat on ca7cc074b5 a branch, my c2af522d26 body concealed amidst 07d3f2bad3 the dense foliage. I periodically 26d9a7eead glanced down 5371c1ba5e to check 0810bf8194 on Song 6bcb7d1951 Qiyuan. My eyesight was excellent; f0ed96e285 even from this distance, 36881e0a8d I could clearly see db0205764a his furrowed brows and cf3b943653 flushed cheeks.20ddc43526c942e8

Ah Jiu, perched on 382ee7c3b0 a branch beside me, 96d8dde533 looked back and forth 684bd75e24 between me and the 7e4a5eb063 boy below, then sighed.ad0681b896c3a9b5

“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.”cfd0109db00b9a4b

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.66313c3a4497366a

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.f5593264eccc2b84

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.4612ea17158ec238

Spending so much e08fc4cb14 time alone, I bbb2c03c7f often lost myself d4b2c9dc47 in contemplation. Besides games and 2261c87fce writing, I pondered 637ff6d2c9 my bleak future acf6aa4b2b and what might eb65e44f07 happen in my c561c85c91 remaining short life. Even walking 1f8466fb81 down the b3dd228aaf street, observing 86b66ff4b0 people and 86c620d901 events, I 53aec4f58d was always 9ce2d32f6e sentimental.de64dbb75b1e3d5e

My mother, a strong 608e641061 woman who rarely showed ad7501e72b weakness, had sobbed uncontrollably 8c85704857 when the doctor told 1629bcebd9 her about my heart a4fefd2a0d condition. She had never been 71b959fe2c religious, but after my f5b0b3346c diagnosis, she became devout, 80a631d77b praying to Buddha every 46c5e68745 day.b2bab79deb9ccbe9

For a long time, 246ad6b114 I lived by her 9ce4c39912 teachings, helping anyone I 0fc58c1837 could and reporting back bcf461ae04 to her at scheduled d6bb27b265 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.26304882173c63ad

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.6e239ced116685be

My agitated heart refused to calm down. The forest was silent; no one resembling Ye Wangzhi appeared. There wasn’t even a flicker of movement within a 30 zhang radius.4fa221795679764b

The boy’s coughing fit returned. I couldn’t bear it any longer.2f74fb199f3b9abd

Gritting my teeth, I 2a559996e7 jumped down from the 7ffedc649d branch and went to 8f359d9eca Song Qiyuan. I carefully 63a43bebcf but firmly f7b1dd9acc gathered him 847e5a0cc1 into my e43f7bebd1 arms and c8ba2f2da2 addressed Ah f8ea53b20a Jiu, who 8405c883a4 was perched 08fd52a4b8 on my 021f15d7ee shoulder, watching d9ca8f0b1b me with 6ef1767bae amusement.8f95e761d180f367

“The time has come. I will take responsibility for this life.”37ab4478f8736fbc

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.9993a470643beb1e

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.fdfc8e244463d772

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?0ef24bda0410129d

Ah Jiu took me 97baf03b9e to a secret garden c4df3bc667 near the Demon Palace. It was ab121ce60a once the f8d97fb681 place where 0a218f1ea9 Yu Ke 24ba11fa5d kept his dc07dd9f88 most cherished 34dfffacb3 male companion. I later 1a1626eae1 heard that b700ac55d6 Gu Jincheng 0c5b0a53c9 had dealt 94de5c97fc with him ba5442b359 after Yu 87fbecdd50 Ke grew bc7c6bb934 tired of f7c7b6b6fa him.3e3f6d52386f6005

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.4d5c36c652e52777

Fortunately, we 489bfbe2f3 arrived at 3910a2f283 the residence b60ceed36f in less 9dac7a34cc than a 69186c4b92 quarter of 97586c80c2 an hour. The residence 08d74fc9af was surprisingly f6014b3263 elegant, secluded 972bcf70e6 within a 5c4e3eab40 bamboo forest. Late autumn winds scattered d1898845c0 bamboo leaves across the 07f10a5a10 ground, forming a small 16fd7d9c44 path leading to the f4e5d21cec entrance.353312114e598334

This place is 5e8e05f52a even better than 85879dec80 the Demon Palace. What should 8acd6c8df2 I do?bdab9c3ffca6bcdf

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?b62f9885ae752454

Despite my words, I 991ae0d5cf noticed something the moment ae20ff24fe I opened the door. It was d8cb4a32be marked with 5f580c9e87 a ward. I quickly dispelled 4e28b44e62 it, but Gu e1298c90e2 Jincheng might still 061026426c sense that someone e6782008e5 had been here.023463d7075ca378

Gu Jincheng knew 0869c746da everything about Yu 201cf8e896 Ke, and my 9051b691de movements were likely 5fc3e43b24 within his grasp. He was dca3a37a73 truly a 6e7c7b1baa troublesome fellow. An hour ago, 8c636c08c8 without any regard 9b8ad962ff for my thoughts 0344c72c5d or questions, he 45f7a51605 had heartlessly thrown 72227ca9c8 Song Qiyuan into b1537aca0a the river.

Despite just opening d5aea4a217 the door, the 6910541ef2 interior was spotless bd0394cafc and tidy.
